Obama is a crook:May 15th, 2008 - 16:45:01

The Los Angeles Times, in an article dated April 27, 2008 reveals
that Obama received a $8,000 a month retainer from Robert Blackwell
for his technology firm, Electronic Knowledge Interchange,
for a total of $112,000. The following exerpts are from the LA times
article:

“A few months after receiving his final payment from EKI, Obama sent a request on state Senate letterhead urging Illinois officials to provide a $50,000 tourism promotion grant to another Blackwell company, Killerspin.”

“With support from Obama, other state officials and an Obama aide who went to work part time for Killerspin, the company eventually obtained $320,000 in state grants between 2002 and 2004 to subsidize its tournaments.”

“But Obama portrays himself as a lawmaker dedicated to transparency and sensitive to even the appearance of a conflict of interest.”

“Killerspin’s owner, Blackwell, was a political supporter and friend as well. Both men lived on Chicago’s South Side. Blackwell, a savvy and successful entrepreneur, was one of the first donors to Obama’s early campaigns, including the state senator’s failed bid for a congressional seat in 2000. In the presidential race he is credited on Obama’s website with committing to raise $100,000 to $200,000 for Obama’s campaign.”

Obama and his supporters have downplayed the legal retainer and grant
request. The MSM is barely touching this story. Even the LA Times,
that broke this story, downplays the significance of Dan Shomon and
refers to him as an Obama aide. Dan Shomon was much more than just
an Obama aide. Consider the following facts about Shomon and his
relation with Obama and other politicians and businessmen.

Don't pay any attention to him, he doesn't understand what he's saying - his speech writer does it for him.

Appeaser is the exact word to describe obama's mentality toward islamist terrorism and the monsters who sponsor it.

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last”. Winston Churchill

The U.S. Congress closed down the Bushies business in the 1940's for breaking the 'Trading With The Enemy' Act. Bush's grandfather, Prescott, is on the record saying Adolph Hitler was one of the greatest men ever born and Jews were... not.

Name all the Jews in Bush's cabinet?

There are none. He hates 'em!

Obama is such a whinerMay 15th, 2008 - 20:05:29

Crybaby Says What?


What’s that high-pitched, furious whining sound I keep hearing?

Oh, I see. It’s just Barack Obama complaining again. This time he’s throwing a tantrum about a boilerplate anti-terrorism statement by President Bush that doesn’t even mention him by name.

ABC News’ Ed O’Keefe Reports: The Obama campaign is taking issue with a comment President Bush made while speaking to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s statehood.

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” the President said to the country’s legislative body, “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

In a statement, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., shot across the bow: “It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy - to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

ABC News’ White House troops point out that the President has made similar statements in the past and Bush did not specifically cite Obama by name, though he did reference Sen. William Borah’s immortal reaction upon hearing that Hitler had invaded Poland and begun World War II, something he has not highlighted in the past.

“(The President) has said similar things before,” a White House official told ABC News’ Martha Raddatz. “But it is in reference to a number of people, think Carter, others who have engaged in this or suggested it.”

White House spokesperson Dana Perino was asked if Bush’s line was a slam against Obama and she insisted, “It is not.”

“I understand that when you are running for office sometimes you think the world revolves around you. That is not always true and it is not true in this case,” Perino added.

Why on earth would Obama think that someone was equating him with terrorists?

Oh yeah, the Weather Underground.

The ENDORSEMENT from Hamas.

Giving money and accepting it from Rashid Khalidi, a palestinian shill for Hamas...

Cozying up with Farakahn and wright who went to pay homage to Libya's terrorist supporting dictator Momar Kadafi.
