After years of dishonesty, Americans need Obama

No longer will they buy the politics that creates richer rich and poorer poor. No longer will they listen to those who profess perfection and lie to us with a straight face.

After years of dishonesty, Americans need Obama 'QUOTE'

You got to be kidding. He changes his story every time it got pointed out that he made a stupid remark. He's not only a liar, but he's stupid. His supporters say he's smart. They are too stupid to realize that just because he prattles on all the time doesn’t mean he's intelligent.

Dave, you must be severely burdened with guilt but I will leave that for you to decide,
I do recommend that you take some time by your self and do a personal evaluation before you try to convince the rest of us that we must follow your line of thinking.
I want a president that will be a representative of all of us regardless of race, gender, or creed. Some one that realizes that the US is one of the nations of the many but don't mess with us because we will protect what is ours and will go to any means to make this nation and its citizens secure.
We must realize that anyone that is elected to the office of president can be only effective as the congress that we elect will let him/her be.

He chooses words that are inappropriate? More like he says exactly what he thinks to audiences that are of like mind, then finds himself backpeddling when those comments make their way into the mainstream.

For crying out loud, Bill Clinton said he shouldn't have done anything with Monica, albeit after months of denying everything. For 66 years of age, seems Dave's memory regarding apologies is fading.

Perhaps it is your attention span & the ability to decipher what you read? There was no mention of Clinton, who did apologize. bush has not. Nor is there enough time for the first imbecile to apollogize for all the wrongs he has done.
The War Crimes Trials will be interesting.

And that WE ase a nation of laws whereby no man is above the law & all must be held accountable by WE the people.
The War Crimes Trials should have started already.

Dishonesty or plain old incompetence?

The only people that have "spoken" are NC Democrats. November will be a whole different electorate. It's really very simple-if Americans want a president who will gut our military (his words), appease our enemies (his words) raise taxes and cause us to pay more for everything due to government overregulation, Obama (like Carter) is their man. Apparently a whole lot of them need another lesson in the "fruits" of liberalism.

Please list the times he's "changed his story".

He was so stupid that he was the editor of the Harvard Law Review!

Out of Iraq
Health Care for everyone who wants it
Transform our economy through the green sector
Energy Independence through alternatives and technology
Protecting workers
Ending the revolving door of lobbyists/Congressmen
Cleaner air, cleaner water for our children

I could go on and on. Susan doesn't like government and would like to have someone in there who didn't like government. I want someone in there who's ready to help build a better America.

You've got anger, Susan. We've got hope.

President Bush doesn't pander to terriorists. Why do you think they want a democrat elected. You want a war crime trial for the very President that has taken the necessary actions to protect you and all Americans. The last think America needs is a president that will get in bed with the terriorists.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Just a sample of how "intelligent" this empty suit is without a script:

“Right now, we don’t have enough troops, and NATO hasn’t provided enough troops [in Afghanistan] because they are still angry about us going into Iraq. So we just don’t have enough capacity right now to deal with—and it’s not just troops, by the way. It’s like Arab—Arab—Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers, we only have a certain number of them, and if they’re all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them, and—and obviously they may not speak Arabic, but the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are, they’re going to be needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere. So we’ve got to focus on Afghanistan.”—Barack Obama

Memo to the wannabe commander in chief: Afghans speak Dari and Pashto. Pashtun is the name of an ethnic tribe in Afghanistan and Urdu is a language spoken mainly in Pakistan and India. Furthermore, translators don’t have to be on the ground any more than Obama has to be in Afghanistan for the enemy to hear his comments. But remember, this is the guy who says he campaigned in 57 states.

So you Obamazombies keep on telling us how great he is!

Hat tip to my friend Mark A.!

LMAO! Good lord, you are desperate, boyer!

Just NC Democrats have spoken???? REALITY CHECK! How about this:

Democrat Travis Childers won Tuesday&#8217;s Mississippi special election runoff for Sen. Roger Wicker&#8217;s (R) former House seat, handing Democrats the biggest of their three special election takeovers this cycle and sending a listless GOP further into a state of disarray.

Childers, who beat Davis 49-46 three weeks ago but came up just shy of a race-ending majority, joins new Democratic Reps. Bill Foster (Ill.) and Don Cazayoux (La.) to give Democrats a trifecta of upsets in conservative House districts over the last two months.

Or how about this statement:

"The House Republican brand is so bad right now that if it were a dog food, they'd take it off the shelf."
- Rep. Tom Davis, on congressional Republicans

Don't you get it yet? YOUR PARTY IS COOKED. Stick a fork in it.

Please provide links that Obama has used those words regarding himself or admit that you are a LIAR.

A DELUSIONAL LIAR at that.

the "bitter" people are a start, and it continues to the business with his pastor, comments about his grandmother, re-explaining what he meant about attacks within Pakistan and against Iran, etc etc.

When Obama gets away from the rhetoric about 'change', he gets into trouble.

my attention span is just fine, but your comprehension ability is in question. Who cares if some candidate or another apologized for anything? I responsed to a comment that somehow, by saying 'sorry', Obama had paved new political ground.

By the way, take a deep breath regarding any trial. First thing one must have is a crime and, despite no small efforts by Dems in Congress to find one, there has been no success.

Gordon, It is the American people who build a better nation, not our government. I like government but just wish it would stay within its originally mandated role of providing for the national defense and regulating interstate commerce. I want the thugs in Washington to stay out of my life and keep their hands out of my pocket. I'm glad you have hope. Hang on to it, because if Obama is elected, four years later most of your wish list will not have been accomplished and you'll still be hoping.

Local elections do not exacttly forecast presidential elections. That's why NC always elects a Dem governor but usually goes GOP for President. To see how Obama will gut our national defense go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch... : and listen to him tell you himself. It was in the Texas debate that he said he would meet with anyone including Hamas and Iranian leaders WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS any time any where, a statement on record which he is now trying to run away from. He will raise taxes and stick it to big oil and the phramaceuticals (he says so in every stump speech) and if you don't think that will effect prices for the rest of us across the board you are one naive bugger. I agree in general Republicans who have gotten away from conservative principles will get whooped in November. Because I am a conservative I became an Independent months ago. I'm not angry. I'm disgusted and sad that we don't have a candidate who is worth a tinker's damn. I am convinved that the American people need an Obama and his Carteresque allies to once again wake them up to the utter bankruptcy of liberalism so let's get on with the reeducation.

Just you wait until Obama gets in.
And the new Congress holds bush accountable for uining OUR economy, the travety of the unneccessary WAR, etc.
Several US Supreme Court rulings have laid the groundwork.

Isn't it interesting that bush has run up the greatest debt in History, while invading & occupying a country that was no threat to US, destabilizing the region, causing the run-up in oil which caused everything else to skyrocket, failed in his Constitutional duties & has in fact by the several US Supreme Court rulings, violated OUR Constitution, caused unneccessary death & hardship for thousands of OUR people plus depleting OUR military, etc, etc, but yet the republican cons are afraid Obama will institute "big government". How will that be accomplished, exactly? bush is leaving him nothing in assets to work with.
