Godfather Obama: Who is asking for a favor today, Tom, on my daughter''s birthday?

Tom Hagen: A couple people have requested an audience with you Godfather.

Godfather Obama: Who are they, Tom?

Tom Hagen: There''s OLD man McCain and that woman Susan B. Anthony--oops strike that Godfather Obama. Wrong century, I meant to say Lil'' Hillary. Seems OLD man McCain wanted your blessings to pursue a geritol spokesman career out in Hollywood, and that woman mentioned something about wanting a brand new apron and a cake mixing bowl.

Godfather Obama: We''re gentlemen here, Tom, show the woman in first.

McCAINS'' STANCE ON THE ISSUES

ECONOMY:Hell if I know!
HOUSING CRISIS:An old refrigerator box works great.
THE WAR:We need to go to Iran to track down Osama.
JOBS:Let''s open some more McDonalds.
HEALTHCARE:Don''t get sick!
GAS PRICES:They aren''t THAT high.

A vote for McCain is a vote for George Bush.

It disturbs me to here Obama say he wants to return to a Bush Senior/Reagan foreign policy. These two administration are the definition of Military Industrial Complex. Ask our neigbors to the south if they want a return to Reagan/Bush. El Salvador, Nicuaragua, Guatemala, Panama, y mas. The death of thousands of Latin Americans, overthrowing of countless democratically elected leaders, extreme poverty, and our so called current immigration issues are the direct result of a Reagan/Bush foreign policy. I''m an Obama supporter, but I''m deeply offended by these comments and may turn to Nader.

22% of Democrats Want Clinton to Drop Out; 22% Say Obama Should Withdraw ...Rasmussen and 28 percent of Dems who currently support Clinton will not support Obama if he is the nominee.....my guess they will also leave the Party as they should.



If the Dems are corrupt enough to send a Obama to the country then McCain in 08%u2026

I have blond hair and blue eyes and I''''m a Catholic and I support Obama.

I''''m pretty much a normal Obama supporter.

Do you hate whites?
Are you anti-american?
Do you put your hands over your ears and read the huf?
Do you want america to lose the war?
Do you call everyone racist for speaking things you dont like hearing?
Do you sympathize with suicide bombers?
Do you have a family of your own? (this has to be no)

If you answer yes to most of these questions, then you are a bonified Obama Supporter.


If you answered yes to most

OBAMA TIES TO HAMAS

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency today reports that the Wright, Jr., long-time pastor of Obama, published an op-ed piece signed by a Hamas leader. The item appeared in the July 22, 2007 edition of his Trinity United Church newspaper on the "Pastor''''''''''''''''s Page." Justifies attacks on Israeli civilians, and carries a supporting introduction by Mr. Wright.

Obama issued a statement strongly condemning these views of his pastor. "I certainly wasnt in church when that outrageously wrong [Hamas] piece was re-printed in the bulletin.


Obama is a long-time member of Trinity United, and his financial contributions to his church are reported to be substantial ("All told, the [Obama] couple gave $27,500 to [Trinity United] in 2005 and 2006," according to the New York Times of March 26). His moral support to the church has been unwavering. As more and more and more details of the extremist political positions of the church are revealed, Obamas response has been to distance himself from these, but also to repeat, over and over, that he didn''''''''''''''''t know, that he wasn''''''''''''''''t there.

I find it very difficult to believe that an intelligent, energetic, and very political man like Obama is perpetually ignorant about what goes on in the church to which he devotes so many of his resources. If he does get to the White House....

Obama needs to step aside and the Dems need to fire DNC Dean and Brazile the election fraud fixers and real Dems should do more than threaten Pelosi with holding contributions they should withhold all contributions to any Dem candidate until Mich and Fla are counted.....Geraldine F. was right Obama is lucky any other candidate that had a Rev like Wright and Political Patron like Rezko and a Political Godfather Jones and a Spouse who continually criticize America as typical and un proud %u2026.and the Party continues covering this up with this Press buddies at GE owned NBC at their own Peril

it may be to late Obama lies his surrogate vicious attacks and press ploys may have so bloodied Clinton even she wont be able to pull this folly out of the toilet.

Any Dem in our State SD or not, that comes out for this fraud will go down with Obama in Nov of on the ballot and we are a true battleground%u202628 percent of Dems are on record they will not vote for Obama period and if they blow Nov kiss those Party members GOODEYE .

If Obama in 08 then McCain easy choice

"You know I like to work hard. Feel free to hand me any tough assignments on legislation". This is the type of person I want representing me and my family in the white house! Not a LIAR, who feels she is "entitled" to the presidency! Not someone who doesn''t feel she has to pay small business owners for services rendered to her! Hell-ery "skipped out" on two companies in Ohio, oweing more than $25,000. She won''t even return phone calls or e-mails! The companies even sent a certified letter! No response!! Hell-ery "skipped out" on an Iowa office worker, without paying!! THAT''S SAD!! Her LACK OF CHARACTER is why we will NEVER vote for her!

Most politicians start out this way as rookies until they get the feel of the politics involved whether it be on the state or federal level. Someone takes them under their wings to teach them the ways or processes. Nothing new here folks! Hillary got it too when she was in the Senate as a rookie. Of course she had her husband too who and she had WH experience. Some get all the breaks - huh!
