Obama's words, just words, just a speech in Berlin, as he so "eloquently stated well before this speech -LOL!" - Was no more than political mumbo jumbo campaign propaganda! How dare he speak as if he is already the lead representative of the United States of America!
The latest report states that he now is preparing for his transition into the Presidency! This guy is very, very, very dangerous! He is so cocky and stuck on himself that his arrogance is sickening!
Obama the BUFFOON is the Hitler of the 21st century and the world had better wake up (that means you demo buffoons too) to this farce who is duping the electorate's ninkinpoops into believing every word, just words, just speeches of his "change" without substance - OBAMA BUFFOON IS NO MORE THAN "JUST" A POWER HUNGRY ELITIST WHO IS EXTREMELY CONCEITED, PLAYS THE RACE CARD, IS A PROVEN RACIST, A HYPOCRITE AND WHO SPEAKS OF WORDS THAT MAKE UP FALSE PROMISES AND EXPECTATIONS - HIS BUFFOONED HEAD IS SO FAT THAT IT WILL SOON EXPLODE - AND IF ELECTED - THE FALSE PROPHET OBAMA BUFFOON WILL DESTROY THE WORLD!
His dictating to Europe is not a ploy that will go over well in Europe - and we already know that his attitude is that of - If you do not agree with me - than you are a racist and my enemy - Kinda like the ideology of Black Liberation Theology, where if God is not for the black man and against the white man, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him - Black Liberation Theology will except only the love of Gods which participates in the destruction of the white enemy.
It is quite dangerous for America to elect such a man as Obama who has supported Black Liberation Theology for twenty years. OBAMA WILL DESTROY ALL WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH HIM - AND BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY! The writing is on the table America. Cast your vote based on true character and not phoney words of great expectation - use your mind, sift through the evidence, and you will choose to not vote for the OBAMA THREAT - but for an honorable and trust worthy candidate in John McCain!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AMERICA!

Seriously, it isn't hard to get a crowd of Germans whipped up into a frenzy. There was nothing special about Obama's speech other than the exception degree of arrogance he continually displays.

I guess Jesse Jackson can add Germans to the list of people Obama talks down to.

I did a google search. So they might be related. What's shoking about it?

Duuhhhhh....
The fact that Muslim terrorist Raila Odinga (Obama's cousin)-------attempted to overthrow the government in Kenya----murdered MANY people who got in his way-----so that he could put in a government of Islam/Sharia Law.
Obama just visited his cousin Raila Odinga in August, 2006 (Google it, if you do not believe me)----and took a recent phone call from cousin Raila during the New Hampshire primaries.
Know wonder some of you are Obama zombies.
I know, I know, what you Obama zombies will say......
There could be many of us who have family members who are Muslim terrorists, try to overthrow governments, and murder anybody/anyone who got in the way.

LOL! THAT is a GOOD one! Psychosis is a TERRIBLE thing to have to LIVE with, I SUPPOSE.
P.S. Dobson is a lunatic too.
I have to agree with you! Sadly, I think that comments like those from "Florida" are mainly made for the amount of attention he/she will receive for them. Of course it doesn't make sense...that was the point, but look how many people are making comments about it ((Like I just did)) Guess, I'm an enabler too! If Obama didn't have my vote before (he did), he DEFINITELY would now. ESPECIALLY if "Florida" is a reflection of those who support McCain!

Obama the end of the country as we know it. That's good because Bush has created an ugly country, at least the way the world and most Americans see it. We are off track to be a decent country. Only the small segment of uncaring selfish rich and ignorant see otherwise. Obama sounds sane and normal rather than Bush and his clownish antics which have made us the laughing stock of the world. He is just as stupid now as he was when he started his presidency. If he wasn't so powerful he would be pathetic. No man of this limited intelligence and lack of compassion should be leading the strongest country of the world. We know that Cheney is really the president but he is even more scary than Bush.

The selfish rich? Tell me what's selfish, people who work hard to accumulate wealth or people who do not work hard demanding the rich pay more taxes and fund social programs to make up for their mistakes?

No what's really scary? Obama is dumber and exponentially more arrogant than George W. Bush and, instead of us getting an upgrade at the Presidential position, we're getting a junior varsity player who talks out of both sides of his mouth. You talk about how vacant Bush is, but, hell, he can take a joke - Obama has no sense of humor. Obama is what you're giving the country as an upgrade to Bush - are y'all out of your fkn minds?

If you think we're an international laughingstock, that comes as news to those who are really watching the world. Germany and France have elected pro-U.S. governments in the past couple of years. The people who liked us before 9/11 still like us, the people who hated us before 9/11 still hate us - there's been no change.

Bush was clownish? Like when he got BJ's from a White House intern? No, wait, that wasn't him. Like when he went windsurfing and voted for something before he voted against it? No, that wasn't him either. You mean when our choice in 2000 was George W. Bush or Al Gore, the man who had the personal charisma of a dial tone and the paranoia of Captain Queeg.

You really need to put things into a historical perspective.

Mundell: Tax Hike Will Cause Recession

Nobel Prize winner and Columbia University economist Robert Mundell, a principal contributor to the creation of the euro, says that ending the Bush tax cuts — as proposed by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama — would cause "a big recession, a nosedive."

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mundell said, "the most important thing that could be done with respect to tax rates is to make the Bush tax cuts permanent."

Mundell, an expert in many areas of economics including the proposition that low taxes stimulate an economy, also provided the intellectual groundwork behind the Reagan tax-cut revolution.

The Reagan-era tax cuts — the so-called "supply-side economics" approach to encouraging economic growth — were "as important to the United States as the creation of the euro was to Europe — a fundamental change," Mundell says.

Of the long list of financial woes afflicting the U.S. and global economies, Mundell says "the big issue economically ... is what's going to happen to taxes."

Abruptly raising taxes could be "lethal," according to Mundell.

"This would be devastating to the world economy, to the United States, and it would be, I think, political suicide," says Mundell.

U.S. tax rates fluctuated wildly throughout the 20th century, Mundell points out, with income tax at 3 percent in 1913, up to 60 percent during World War I, to a top rate of 92.5 percent at the height of World War II.

Taxes were cut to 28 percent under Reagan, then bounced up again to just under 40 percent during the Clinton administration, and they were then cut once more to where they are now under George W. Bush.

Making the Bush tax cuts permanent would eliminate economic uncertainty, Mundell says, and "would be more important than pushing for a further cut ... in the income tax rates."

An ideal rate, according to Mundell, would be a 30 percent ceiling on marginal rates, which he advocates. That would be 5 percent lower than the current 35 percent top rate.

To further stimulate the economy, Mundell would cut the corporate tax rate to 25 percent. "It could be even lower ... I made that proposal back in the 1970s."

Turning to an issue which now plagues so many Americans — the $4 or more per-gallon price of gasoline at the pump — Mundell says, "I really think the price is going to settle down, probably below $100, if not below $90."

To support his prediction of a pullback in oil prices — and therefore gasoline prices — he cites oil prices in 1980, which stood at about $34 a barrel.

"Oil prices [from 1980] would naturally double by the year 2000 ... And then...because the inflation rate's about 3.5 percent, it would double again by 2020. So the natural price ... would be something like $136 in 2020."

Always the visionary, Mundell advocates a revolutionary cooperation between the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank to establish a permanent top and bottom on the euro and the U.S. dollar, with a predetermined and limited trading range.

Beyond that, Mundell says, quoting former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, "the global economy needs a global currency."

The numbnuts who were ignorant enough to vote for Bush twice...this is hard to imagine, now will show their ultimate lack of awareness to what is going on in the world by voting for Mc Same. The Bible freaks will vote for McSame only because they have only one issue...that is of course the abortion issue. They are God's vanguard to save unborn fetuses while the rest of the world goes down the drain. They have such a marrow vision on things that they cannot see anything outside of that issue and having their heads buried in a book written by men in the early fourth century. Prompted by Constantine, the church which he somewhat formed to his liking, was to have 50 copies of the text which had not been yet in its final form. One might say Constantine rushed God's hand a bit. This is of course the Constantine who changed the entire view of Christianity from a loving pacifist mode into a nation supporting militaristic view as we now have today. Had we not had his iron hand pushing the bible to be written we would have had an entirely different book with a much different message. Christians please do not study history ..it may burst your sterile bubble of a book written by God and infalible. The reality is it is just a book written by man. No more credible than the Koran or any other religious writing. Just the facts mam!

ONCE OBAMA FINDS OUT HE CANNOT USE THE TROOPS AS A PHOTO OP, HE DECIDES VISITING THEM WOULD PROVIDE NO BENEFIT TO HIM.

A U.S. military official tells NBC News they were making preparations for Sen. Barack Obama to visit wounded troops at the Landstuhl Medical Center at Ramstein, Germany on Friday, but "for some reason the visit was called off."

One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama's representatives were told, "he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers." In addition, "Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama's visit."

The official said "We didn't know why" the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. "He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him."

The sad part is Obama nation is not what true Christians/Catholics believe in. El Paso has 82% Hispanic. Most state they believe in Jesus. I do not understand why they would go with a candidate who has such liberal views, can someone explain this? Unless you really believe a welfare check is more important than a baby's life. In 1979, Ronald Reagan said, "Hispanics are Republicans, they just don't know it." Please look at hispanics.gop.com get educated. If not for Jesus Christo then for whom.
