I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U. S. history.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any
12 month period.
I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U. S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U. S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U. S. President.
I am the all-time U. S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.
My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U. S. History, Enron.
My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U. S. Supreme Court during my election decision.
I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U. S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

And didn't he reassure us his soul was pure? Go back to the drawing board you chicken-hawk repbulican hack....All you sycophants do is tear down Obama or whomever the Dems would have put up but you say nothing about the fraud you put up. John McCain, never worked in the private sector, born into Naval Royalty, still exploits POW status, married a multi-millionaire whom he cheated with on his first wife when she was in the hospital, got all caught up in the Keating scandal which brought us more government regulations. Yeah, you want the country to keep going the way it's been going by electing McBush.........down, down, down......

My party hasn't been represented at the federal level for almost 15 years.

Bush isn't a member of my party. McCain, who was nominated by Democrats the same way Limbaugh attempted to screw up the Democrat primaries, isn't a member of my party.

I'm a Conservative. I believe in keeping government within the framework of our Constitution, AND NOTHING MORE. Believe it or not, the Constitution doesn't say anything about funding AIDS projects in Africa, or providing free lunches to school kids whose parents would rather buy cigarettes than food for their children.

I disapprove of bailing out corporations, banks, or institutions. Let 'em sink. Let the stockholders lose money as easily as they would have made money. Let homeowners be foreclosed, because if they are too stupid or lazy to read the mortgage contract, they don't deserve to get off the hook.

You can cite a dozen examples of flawed GOP politicians, and I can cite a dozen Democrats. Do you know how to stop the corruption? REMOVE THE POWER. Money spawns corruption. Don't pay the gubbermint to handle your retirement, your health care, so on and so on.

At the turn of the 20th century the federal government was less than 5% of the GDP of our country. Now it's over 17%. And Obama, Pelosi and Clinton want to add socialized health care, gubbermint underwritten banks, gubbermint managed profits, gubbermint supervised energy research.

Why? Don't you realize giving the gubbermint more power is like giving more crack to an addict?

There have been a few times in the campaign where I think the Obama campaign has crossed the line. If you look at earlier posts, you will see I have excoriated all sides that appear to be impeding racial reconciliation. Maybe you can answer a question Joseph can't. Who would do a better job dealing with the race issue and how would they do it? This thread is about the controversy that Obama created by calling for responsibility in the black community. He is already walking a very fine line. Do you want to keep staus quo? If you want to get past the racial crap, and recognize the importance of addressing this issue, what approach will work better than Obama's?

I've already stated what would move the civil rights forward.

Eliminate discrimination in hiring, college admissions, gubbermint contracts. That's right-- no more Affirmative Action. No more quotas. You can't foster color blindness until you stop reminding everybody what color they are!

Enforce laws strictly without consideration of race. Mandatory sentencing for crimes, regardless how high-priced the defense attorney is.

Obama will pay lip service to the "responsibility" theme while he is feigning to the center. He has an election to win. Once in office I'm sure he will pay his debts for 99.9% black support-- expanded gubbermint programs for minorities. More generous quotas.

And the resentment from the other ethnic groups grows as a result. The entitlement mentality of the blacks grows also. And nobody moves forward, except Obama locks down a few more votes.

It is a sad state of affairs that many will vote for him just because he's black. Take this poster for instance, it uses a whole lot of 50 cent words in its previous posts, none of which gives a slim reason to vote for barry other than that he is black.
It is a shame.

Keep feeding a hateful, divided country while 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion people in India are working as united teams to turn USA into a minor world player. Next time you or one of your neighbors loses a job and a home, look yourself in the mirror for not recognizing racial reconciliation as a major issue in this campaign. and don't think for a minute that a country can be a major military power if it isn't also a great economic power. Getting everybody on board to be productive, self sustaining citizens will always be a major issue. The problem is that fools like you can't even see it. John McCain can't or won't address it. If you go to a fair trade thread or a thread on Obama's plan for adding 5 million energy jobs to free us from 700 billion in foreign oil each year or a thread on how the dollar has weakened and the stock market sits on the brink of a melt down because we are drowning in national debt because GOP increased spending without paying the bill, don't be surprised if those issues are all people talk about. When the thread is about Obama and race relations.....nevermind, you truly are a sham.

Congress holds the purse strings and they are the spenders not the GOP. You are an ignorant, semi-educated, possibly a wasted education. Your views are all socialist in nature, go to Russia and try your experiment, or Cuba closer to your home in Fairlawn.

Obumma keeps fulfilling your own accusations...as Moses said to Nephratiri of Pharoh, "...by his own words, he condemns his people". Rascists like Obumma and Me Shell are what this election is about for you and people of your race, they will vote for Obumma because he is black..........

When Obama completely botched his performance at the mega-church last weekend (I call dodging a question about abortion with "it's above my pay grade" a botch) his supporters immediately started whining about how McCain must have heard the questions before he got to the stage because he DIDN'T botch them.

I see a pattern here. When Gore lost the election in 2000, it was because Katherine Harris and the courts stole the election for Bush. When Kerry lost the election in 2004, it was because Bush's minions stole the vote from Ohio.

Now the Dems have nominated an unelectable far-left candidate with negligible experience and views that don't wash with most Americans.

And when he loses in November it'll be because we're racists. Watch.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton like one another. Obama had Clinton's cell number on speed dial, and vice versa. They maintained stable, even good, personal relations during the primary campaign. When things got ugly, Obama stepped up several times to defend Clinton, and the senator from New York got what might have been the loudest and most sincere round of the campaign when she seemed to suggest at the close of a contentious primary-season debate that she would be willing to join an Obama-led "dream ticket."

But we always knew that the "what to do with Bill Clinton" challenge would steer Obama away from an easy or casual selection of Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate. Again and again through the primary season, it was Bill who said things that seemed to inflame the competition and move both camps to their respective corners. And, of course, there is the fundamental question of where to put an ex-president in an administration that supposed to be all about change.

So the line became: Obama would only pick Clinton if he comes to the conclusion that he needs her badly enough to accept not only his former rival but the complexities that her husband brings to the equation and, of course, their considerable baggage.

Well, the latest polls seem to suggest that Obama finds himself in a circumstance that lends itself to the Clinton consideration.

Despite the fact that the miserable state of the U.S. economy shaped by eight years of oilman budgeting should be handing the election to Obama, he's either tied or behind in a number of key state and national surveys. The new Reuters/Zogby poll has Republican John McCain leading Obama 46-41. Gallup and LA Times surveys have it much closer, with Obama slightly up. But these are not encouraging number for the Democrats.

Russian tanks in Georgia, regime change in Pakistan and the general uncertainty about whether to worry more about a new Cold War or the mismanagement of the old war on terror seems to have caused a good many Americans to edge toward McCain. That may not be reasonable, or smart or fair. But, to employ the phrase of the season, "It is what it is."

Barack Obama might just need Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, whether appropriately or not, seen by a great many Americans as someone who knows her way around the international stage. In fact, members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who are not fans of Clinton have told me that she has far better international connections than McCain or Obama.

She also has some pretty good connections in the swing states of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Then there is the whole "dream ticket" thing.

If Obama takes the stage in front of the Old State Capital in Springfield, Illinois, Saturday with Evan Bayh at his side, it will be news -- but not very exciting news. If he does so with Joe Biden, it will be bigger new -- but it's not like Biden brings the "wow" factor.

If Obama takes the stage with Clinton at his side, it will be the dominant news story of the weekend, the convention and perhaps of the fall campaign.

Indeed, it could create that wave of excitement that Obama needs to have not just a triumphal convention but a triumphal campaign.

So that's the Hillary Clinton scenario, with all of its challenges, complexities and unpleasantnesses.

One does not have to like Clinton, or even believe that Clinton will ultimately join a "dream ticket," to suspect that as the Obama camp reviews the latest polls, they might be spinning the scenario one last time.

Obama and his aides may reject the option -- because of Bill, because the former First Lady does not say "change," or because of concerns that a ticket made up of an African-American man and a woman might be too much change for the electorate.

But let's presume, out of respect for the savvy of the Obama team, that they are considering it.

Subject: Buchanan to Obama


by Patrick J. Buchanan


Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances, and demands heard. And among them are these:


First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses, and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides, and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools, and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement, and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.


Is white America responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

yea
