In his effort to move to the center, Obama has distorted his own record, meager though it may be, and is taking credit for a program he strongly opposed. McCain should immediately run an ad in all of the states in which his opponent is advertising setting forth the facts and explaining Obama''''s distortion. McCain calls him on his distortion, he can do grave damage to Obama on three fronts: credibility, centrism, and experience.


By catching Obama, he can undermine the effectiveness of any subsequent ads the Democrat runs. By showing that he opposed welfare reform, McCain can do much to force Obama back to the left and cast doubt on his efforts to move to the middle. And by emphasizing Obama''''s limited experience, he can strike at a soft spot %u2014 made softer by Hillary''''s attacks in the primary.


The move is right there for McCain. Now lets see how good his campaign really is.

The Obama ad, which introduces him as someone who worked his way through college, fights for American jobs, and battles for healthcare also seeks to move him to the center by taking credit for welfare reform in Illinois which, the ad proclaims, reduced the rolls by 80 percent.


But there''''s one problem %u2014 Obama opposed the 1996 welfare reform act at the time. The Illinois law for which he takes credit was merely the local implementing law the state was required to pass, and it did, almost unanimously. Obama''''s implication, that he backed "moving people from welfare to work," is just not true.

If you believe anything an inexperainced person promises you ,like Obama, you are even more desperate and foolish than one can imagine. Not all Republicans are bad, but most, if not all Democrats are naive. It is that simple.

Obama is a fake. He is a fraud. He is an imposter. He is a trickster. He is just plain deceitful and dishonest. I don''t trust Hussein.

America will unite to kick his black @ss back to the senate.

McCain has been in politics so long its inevitable that he will change his views on differant issues. That in and of itself shows he is not the same as Bush who is self centered and stuck on his own policy. Now Obama has no experience whatsoever except for the occasional freshman flipflop and "present" vote!

Howard Dean is a moron. I bet if a shrink diagnosed Dean he would have multiple disorders.

A great Texas Rancher analogy :
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas
rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the
doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic
got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, ''Well, ya know, Obama is a ''post turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ''post turtle'' was.
The old rancher said, ''When you''re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,that''s a ''post turtle''.
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor''s face, so he continued to explain.
You know he didn''t get up there by himself, he doesn''t belong up there, he doesn''t know what to do while he is up there,and you just wonder what kind of a dumb *** put him up there.

Obama''''''''s favorite pals:

William Ayes better known nationally as the most notorious %u2014 and unrepentant %u2014 figure from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.

Lois Farrakhan-Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, best known for his racist, homophobic and antisemitic views.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko-charges of wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, and attempted extortion

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr-Senior Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ who gives racially and politically charged sermons, such as when he said, "God *** America"

Ali Abunimah- a well-known anti-Israel activist who reveals in a report that Obama said ''''''''Hey, I%u2019m sorry I haven%u2019t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I%u2019m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.'''''''' Abunimah''''''''s report included a photo of Obama with his wife Michelle seated at a table with virulently anti-Israeli Professor Edward Said and his wife Mariam

If Obama mixes with sleazy people, I guess you can expect his supporters to be of the same kind.
