Obama the wrong man for the job - Sentinel & Enterprise

It appears that Barack Obama has survived a tough couple of weeks. In the words of some, he's shown that "he can take a punch." But, frankly, I think Senator Obama is still getting kid gloves treatment from a ...

And this is why Mr. Obama talked about "bitter little people" who fixate on small issues rather than the larger ones. As you well know, NO President has had ANY impact on the birth rate for any group of Americans. So to say that Mr. Obama is the wrong person for the job is not just idiotic - it is short-sighted. Those babies are still going to be born until and unless the country starts to take a fresh look at race, the economy, and where this country is going. Mr. McCain cannot find his literal hindquarters with both hands, and Hillary Clinton simply is another double-speak, pandering politician who only cares about getting power, rather than wielding it in a socially conscious way. I'll tell you what Star - instead of trying to force someone to your will, as these anti-abortions types are, why don't you try supporting a system where the young and economically disadvantaged have more CHOICES with their lives. Only then will YOU ever make a difference.

Another one note wonder. Meanwhile, the ship is sinking. There are helpless people everywhere that could use this persons ability to be so outspoken, but it must be easier to bang your head against a wall. Wait until we get the so called "Christian" out of the white house. How long does it take for people to realize they have been used?

lets see, Bush, Republican, right to life.

Obama, while discussing why ABSTINENCE ONLY is wrong, is pro-Choice.

lets take a hard look at who is who and what they think of oh maybe 150 other issues that directly pertain to the President of the United States!

"Worst President ever"

You've got ONE issue. God luck with that!

This idiot lost me with the "media that tilts to the right" line. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that is a right wing ploy. Research this person, I bet they are on the RNC payroll. MCCain is Bush on steroids and Hillary has no credibilty with most voters anymore, not after the Bosnia lie and her unbelivably stupid comments on white voters last week. She is toast. Obama is not perfect, but he is the best alternative we have to end the Bush/Clinton stranglehold on American politics. WE NEED CHANGE.

So any idea why this canned editorial is in our local paper? I liked it better in the Deseret News (Utah) with the headline " Media letting Obama off easy on his abortion views".

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/content/mo...

Search a little more on Google and you can find many more versions of this editorial.

Rick Thurman, what type of paper are you running? Surely there must be someone local with the divisive opinions you seek to promote.

You can't blame this on cough syrup - I hope they don't let him operate heavy machinery - I'm glad he is only running for President.

Abortion, Gay rights are issues that divide us, issues that really mean nothing to most of us in our daily lives. Issues that don't address anything that matters, like torture, wars of choice, spiriling deficits, food shortages, gas prices, Medicaid, education, NAFTA, etc etc. Abortion and these other issues are Rovian politics of divsion and the sooner we reject this continued assault on our collective intelligence, the better off we are. The media is a JOKE, it a a corporate owned and controlled mouthpiece to shape opinion, not report on news. IF the media did it's job, this administration would be on trial in Nuremburg today for crimes against humanity. Don't buy into this drivel, rise above it and focus on what is important to our country's future, which is getting bleaker by the day.

The S&E regularly publishes canned editorials for pretty much anything that isn't directly local. The national and bigger-issue ones usually seem to come from Scripps Howard. Maybe not all of them, but certainly the majority.

In their defense, the canned editorials are usually slightly more coherent than their in-house ones.

Not this one, though. This idiocy makes Jeff McMenemy look like a genius. Which is saying something.

I wonder if it is up to the paper what awesome headline they share with their readers. If so you'd think that S&E could have come up with something sexier than they did. Maybe something like:

"I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." -- Sen. Barack Hussein Obama, March 2008.
"I never heard comments like these." -- Sen. Barack Hussein Obama, also in March 2008
"Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes." -- Sen. Barack Hussein Obama, ALSO in March 2008.
Is it really a sign of personal integrity that a politician is BAD at lying?
And I say "lying" in the plural form of the word. Remember, this is the same Sen. Obama whose campaign denied it ever had any meeting of any kind with Canadian officials, and certainly not to discuss NAFTA. When they were caught lying, Sen. Obama admitted a meeting, but denied they discussed NAFTA. When the memo of the meeting came out ("We discussed NAFTA"), the campaign simply stopped answering questions.
This is the same Sen. Barrack Hussein Obama who denied an inappropriate fiscal relationship with Tony Rezco, only to later admit that the notorious and allegedly criminal Chicago hack had directly intervened to help Sen. Obama buy a multi-million house.
Oh, and then there's this:
The campaign had initially claimed Rezko-connected contributions were no more than $60,000, an amount the campaign donated to charity. Then the figure grew to around $86,000, and there were additional revelations that put the amount at about $150,000. Obama's [new]$250,000 accounting was a substantial jump and clearly contradicted earlier campaign statements that Rezko was just one of "thousands of donors."
Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is the candidate of change all right. Catch him in a lie, and he just changes his story.

From Dreams of My Father, " I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE". Barack Hussein Obama
From 'Dreams of my Father', "The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams Of My Father: "That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, BLAMING "WHITE PEOPLE � some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives." Barack Hussein Obama
From 'Dreams Of My Father', "There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names" Barack Hussein Obama
"What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice," Obama said. "He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics.
Don’t be fooled by the accusations that the incurably sick leftists at home and America’s ill-wishers abroad level at this country. America is not perfect. Yet, it is the very best hope for a humanity struggling to find its humanness. America is worth defending. Vote for the candidate who is not going to cut and run in the face of Islamic Jihadists.WE ARE THE BAD GUYS"???
This is a MUST SEE video for anyone interested in the immigration debate, whether you are a citizen, an illegal alien or a Congressman.
Obama supports Chain Migration, Amnesty and providing drivers licenses for all illegal aliens.
Chain Migration refers to the endless and often-snowballing chains of foreign nationals who are allowed to immigrate because previous immigrants can send for ADULT relatives.

Let's see.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people."

"God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people ... God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.[Not that we were in a war against a guy who was financing a war by prying out teeth from 6 million jews he had starved and gassed.]"

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards [9/11]. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

"We started the AIDS virus ... as a means of genocide against people of color."

"The government lied about Pearl Harbor. They knew the Japanese were going to attack. Government's lied."

"... what's going on in white America, U.S. of KKKA ..."

Hmmmm...

Racist? Dude, I don't know if there are words in the English lexicon to capture the nausea of these words.

Obama will be a great president.

Thank god the error (ahem, era) of Bush is nearly over.
