I wander if any one now has a question as to Obama’s move toward a Communistic state.

Is a question on your mind as to this Presidents values, friends, progressive means progess away from a Republic, and turn to Socialism.

I will sit this election out before I will vote for Barach Obama. I’m a Democrat and he’s a whiner. I’ve been to New Orleans since Katrina – just wait until the whole country is turned into New Orleans with it’s whining demands. Obama will be powerless to stop it.
Women make up over half of this country’s population and we have supported it from the first day someone stepped off the Mayflower. It’s our turn. African-Americans are about 12% of this country’s population and many Americans have already fought and died for them. They need to get in line and wait their turn.

There is something very aggravating (actually many things) in Barack Obama's post SOTU SOTU. here

John, your post on Dinkins was spot on. I live in NY. In terms of personal character and dignified bearing, Dinkins was the very model of a modern mayor. I fell for it the first time he ran against Giuliani. But Dinkins simply did a bad job. He had the presence of a leader but not the substance. He was not the man to take on the squeegee men at traffic lights, the panhandlers on subways, the homeless camped out in Grand Central Station, the drug dealers in Bryant Park. The list goes on. Dinkins had the liberal view that until the wealth of America was equitably redistributed, crime was inevitable and, in some sense, a just punishment for America’s crimes. The election of Dinkins was supposed to diminish racial animosity in NYC but, as I remember it, as the crime rate went up, there was more distrust between the races. I think it is fair to say that in terms of character and temperament Giuliani is less deserving of the Kingdom of Heaven than Dinkins. But it must be admitted that Giuliani did a far better job as mayor than Dinkins. In Obama I see someone similar to Dinkins. Obama will not take on the international squeegee men like Chavez or Mullah bin Moron. Indeed, there is some part of Obama’s consciousness that thinks the evil in the world is nothing more than an understandable reaction to American arrogance and that a gentle leader like himself, just by his very presence, will cause much of the hostility to America to dissipate.

If the Obama campaign resembles anything right now, it’s the David Dinkins mayoral campaign in New York against Giuliani in 1989. The idea was simply by voting for Dinkins you would create a “gorgeous mosaic” of peace, love and understanding that would bring the city to new heights after the decaying final four years of the Koch administration. Plus it made guilty white liberals feel good about themselves by electing an African-American mayor for the first time. But what they ended up with had a weak leader beholden to his party’s special interest groups who not only could do nothing to stop the slide, but did nothing to members of those groups when even greater problems occurred under his administration. And even then, most of the guilty white liberals in New York still voted for Dinkins in 1993, arguing that there was nothing on Gaia’s green Earth that could turn New York around from its downward spiral.

Obama is more charismatic than Dinkins, but with the aid of the big media outlets, any Democratic nominee can attain that status through fawning press. They managed to make Jimmy Carter into the magnetic “Face of the New (Liberal Democratic) South” in the run-up to the 1976 election, and we know how that turned out — Carter gave his “malaise” speech three years later, and the not-feeling-as-guilty white liberals still supported Jimmy in 1980 after Teddy’s flame-out, arguing that there was nothing on Gaia’s green Earth that could turn the United States around from its downward spiral.

Barak’s record is such a blank he may fare better than either Carter or Dinkins by not being as beholden to his party as Dave nor as anal-retentive about his governing style as Jimmy, but I doubt it, and the current supporters an Obama Administration would appoint to key government roles really do believe the Kos/MoveOn/netroots rhetoric, and for both foreign and domestic policy, that is a scary future to contemplate.

Pro Obama?

Campaigns like Milli Vanilli (fakes it)!

Yesterday, during the second hour of the Michael Medved show, Michael alleged that he suspected that faintings had been staged at least six Obama campaign rallies.

He felt that after seeing and hearing several video’s showing the faints he suspected that they were staged because:

1) The “faint” would always happened next to the stage.

2) Barack Obama showed calm and stated the same words over and over in each of the six occurrences – “Make some space for her. Make some space for her.”

3) The “faintee” was ALWAYS a woman.

4) Each of the occurrences (6) when shown together all felt the same and process like.

We, at MAXINE would like to see what Michael Medved had seen … we were only left with Michael’s radio account and the playing of the audio of a recent Obama campaign stop from Santa Barbara, California.

After I posted this, comments came in with links to comparative YouTube videos and the information does create some valid questions. Certainly, this is an issue that requires investigation and a response … this cuts to character. We already know where HE currently stands on – - – substance!

The Republicans simply paint Obama as “Hugo Chavez goes North”. Turn the election into a referendum on the Nanny State. If the American people want to import a European disaster, well, why not?

I love the stink of fear coming from the right. If “lack of specifics” and vagueness are political liabilities, then Obama is fortunate that his opponent will be the very senior senator from AZ, who is not exactly known for being a policy wonk. As for bed-wetting about the alleged lack of “new ideas” – again, compared to McCain, Obama is the New Idea Express. And since the “old ideas” so hated by the hard right are supported by a majority (and in some cases a supermajority) of this country’s population (on health care, worker’s rights, social safety net, the environment, etc) according to the multi-decade Pew study released last year, there is no NEED to generate “new ideas” – just proudly and eloquently defend the “old ones.” Obama is doing just that, and people who never thought that politics could mean anything to them are showing up and voting for the guy. It’s shaping up to be a blowout – so we’ll see lots more flaccid and pathetic posts from the right between now and November.
