Let’s go back to 9/16/01, 5 short days after 9/11…..

The country has just had the worst attack on her soil in history….3,000+ dead….our World Trade Centers, symbols of America’s greatness, have been destroyed…there is still a search going on for survivors and victims….
and down at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, a churchgoer would hear…

“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. 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 into our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost!”

The way this is delivered is the kind of indignant, I told you so, you deserve it, vindictive voice that the schoolyard bully would use….Nah, nah, you skinned your knee!….throw in a little break-dancing moves, a little 360, around-the-world dance to put an exclamation point on the whole sordid affair…

Amid cheering, back-slapping, and wild delirium, the congregation voices its approval….Where is the solemn talk of the tragedy, of the victims, of the hardships faced by widow, widowers, children who lost a parent?….of parents losing their children?…where is the vile directed at America’s enemies who perpetrated this crime? Nowhere to be found….

And where was little Barack Hussein Obama? He wasn’t a US Senator at this time. He had no reason to be outside of Illinois. Was he at church that day? He says no…and of course we believe him! We give him the benefit of the doubt, right Larry,(and please pass the kool-aid!). Regardless, I am certain that he know of Rev Bigot’s sermon…. why didn’t he vigorously denounce it at that time? Why didn’t he leave this racist church immediately?

Obama supporters say we take the good Rev Wright’s sermons out of context….well here is the context that we should put the GD America speech in….

At the nation’s most vulnerable time…at the time when our great country had been subjected to unspeakable evil…Osama Obama’s pastor, his spiritual mentor, felt the need to throw gasoline on the fire…to besmirch the memory of those who perished.
And Barry Obama (that is what they called in private school in Hawaii) felt the need to say or do nothing….

IT IS NOT F’ING RACE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE, IT IS JUDGEMENT. HE SHOWED THE ABSOLUTE WORST JUDGEMENT IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION DIRECTED AGAINST OUR COUNTRY. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HOW HE WOULD HANDLE A CRISIS AS A PRESIDENT?

He is unelectable. Get out of the race now, liar!

And I am thrilled that the “edge ” is still hear. The letters are great, the spirit is great and Clinton-Obama is the hottest story in decades.

PS–too much “smear” in this campaign.

Smear and attack = fewer voters.

Obama Took Credit for Other Senators’ Work, Media Largely Ignores it

by D. Cupples | Understandably, many media are all over Hillary Clinton’s exaggerated claims about her trip to Bosnia in 1996 (e.g., NY Times)

At the same time, most media seem oddly unaware of a story in yesterday’s Washington Post about Barack Obama’s having falsely grabbed credit for other legislators’ work — not just in the Illinois legislature, but also while in the U.S. Senate.

In April 2006, according to the Washington Post, six senators ran into Obama while heading to a news conference to announce an immigration bill. Obama tagged along. When the microphone came his way, Obama said:

“‘I want to cite Lindsey Graham, Sam Brownback, Mel Martinez, Ken Salazar, myself, Dick Durbin, Joe Lieberman . . . who’ve actually had to wake up early to try to hammer this stuff out,’” (The Post)

Senate staff members found it a “galling moment,” because Obama had done little or no heavy lifting on that project.
