People, who are bigots, practice bigotry. But when it stands in the way of them getting something they want they deny ever having it. Like Obama!

The time is right now. Place; were on the floor above where the plane hit at the World Trade Tower. We are scared! There is fire everywhere! We are about to jump! We look with our binoculars to the church Obama attends. We see people looking at us laughing as we are about to jump to our deaths! And we cry are they the ones? Then we jump. As we are falling clutching the air we again hear the laughter coming from Obama%u2019s church! We hit the pavement and we are no more. A few feet away from the impact of our bodies there stands a man who is smiling. He smiles because he attends the same church Barack Obama attends. Do you still hear the laughing? As the months go by they find our body limbs and still that church Obama attends is laughing. Seven years later Barack Obama is running for president and all the years of laughing comes out in a victory chant by the church Obama is sitting right now in the front pew of this magnificent church? Look closely now do you see him, was he tardy today? Do you still hear the laughter? The pastor for at least the last seven years shouts from his pulpit %u201CWhite America" had the 9/11 attacks coming.%u201D Do you still hear the laughter? Obama wants to change you, will you let him? Are you laughing now?

Obama wants to change the bed he chose to lie in. Get it Lie in?
The lesson from Obama is
Remember the first line of defense when you are caught is to lie with righteous truth! The second line of defense is to lie again with righteous truth!

This is an tactic of a racist ya know!

McCain does not have the judgment and patience to lead America. He is an ill-informed, myopic, close-minded man who is easily swayed by the bigoted religious right. Check out the result of his BRILLIANT support of the "Surge", not to mention the fatally wrong idea to go to war with Iraq in the first place, and not actually go after the 9/11 terrorists. Check the facts at the below link and comment:

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO KEEP USAF TANKER TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE U.S.!

Click to join thousands of others in denouncing USAF%u2019s recent decision to send control of our aerial refueling technology offshore!

In today%u2019s environment, aerial refueling capability is a key strategic military asset.

USAF recognized the need to upgrade its elderly fleet of KC-135 tanker aircraft with a requirement for Boeing 767 aircraft prior to Sept. 11, 2001 and the Darleen Druyun scandal.

In the name of %u201Cfair competition,%u201D Sen. John McCain and his lobbyist associates drove USAF to change their requirements to accommodate the EADS/Airbus A330 tanker (an aircraft in which they originally had no interest), and to ultimately choose it over the 767.

These aircraft will undergo final assembly by U.S. workers in Alabama. U.S. companies are subtier suppliers for this aircraft. Northrop Grumman, a U.S. corporation, is the %u201Cprime contractor.%u201D BUT DESIGN DEFINITION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND REFUELING SYSTEM RESIDE WITH EADS. In addition, significant amounts of the manufacturing prior to final assembly is performed offshore by EADS. Northrop Grumman provides these aircraft to USAF only at the pleasure of a foreign entity.

Though the Boeing 767 contains significant foreign content, control of the majority of the technology remains with Boeing here in the U.S.

Speak up!

Hmmm, it''s Sunday. What''s going on behind the scenes, not on the front page but maybe back on page 25D?McCain may be making an UNANNOUNCED trip to Baghdad (unannounced because it''s still incredibly UNSAFE, despite his strolls through a marketplace surrounded by US security--did he even bother staging something like that this time?), but WHERE''S CHENEY???

Answer: secretly meeting with the Saudis (no doubt Prince Bandar bin Sultan, ex saudi ambassador to the US; or his dad Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, the defense minister and 2nd in line to the throne; I doubt "Slippery D1ck" could warrant an audience with Kind Abdullah) to beg them to lower oil prices so Bush doesn''t lose more face in the US by having the economy tumble further downhill.

Bush: No Saddam Links To 9/11
President Distances Himself From Remarks By Vice President

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2003

(CBS/AP) Distancing himself from remarks by Vice President Cheney, President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 %u2014 disputing an idea held by many Americans.

"There''s no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties," the president said. But he also said, "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11" attacks.

Mr. Bush spoke with reporters after speaking with leaders of Congress about energy legislation.

The president''s comment on Saddam was in line with a statement Tuesday by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said he not seen any evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks.

Yet, a new poll found that nearly 70 percent of respondents believed the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved. Rumsfeld said, "I''ve not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that."

Critics have said the administration has tried to create the impression of Saddam''s involvement in the attacks, without directly making such a claim, in order to boost public support for the war against Iraq.

On Sunday, Vice President *** Cheney said that success in stabilizing and democratizing Iraq would strike a major blow at the "the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault for many years, but most especially on 9-11."

Four years ago...

Bush administration officials said Sunday they do not regret that America went to war against Iraq even though the key justifications remain unproven, and almost every day U.S. soldiers are dying: 564 to date.

Banned weapons have not been found one year after the U.S.-led invasion, and no ties to al Qaeda have been uncovered.

Even so, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said he believes weapons of mass destruction could still turn up. Secretary of State Colin Powell said even if they don''t, that doesn''t mean prewar intelligence was distorted to make the case for ousting Saddam Hussein, as some Democrats charge.

"We may not find the stockpiles. They may not exist any longer. But let''s not suggest that somehow we knew this" before the war, Powell said in a broadcast interview. "We went to the United Nations, we went to the world with the best information we had. Nothing that was cooked."
