We need a good US President

Posted on July 5th, 2008 by Gary

Joe Lieberman believes that it would take a very well prepared and ready president to be able to face the numerous attacks that the Islamic groups have been throwing their way. With another possible attack on the United States on the new presidents first year of administration, Lieberman believes that it is best to be prepared by military forces, and security for whatever may come.

Retired General Wesley Clark who is backing up Sen. Obamas running for presidency believes otherwise. Of course it is good for a standing president to have a good, celebrated military background, however, his efficiency as president will not only be based on that. What the country needs is someone who has good judgment, of which Sen. Barack Obama obviously have shown the American people ever since he has served the country.

And I think what we need to do, Bob, is we need to stop talking about the old politics of left and right, and we need to pull together and move the country forward. And I think that’s what Barack Obama will do.” Clark told Scheiffer on Face The Nation.

CARS in FLORIDA, streaked with ANTI-Obama SLOGANS

Posted on June 30th, 2008 by Gary

60 vehicles in Orlando, Florida, have been trashed all over by hate words that would like to send a message to running president Obama. Over 10 US Dollars have been the estimated cost of damages done to these cars. Happened just outside the Orlando City Hall, the cars have been streaked with hate words towards Obama and McCain, however, support messages for Hilary Clinton have also been written.

With lines like, “Obama smokes crack,” the vandals seemed like people who wanted to bring Obama down, not only politically, but as a human being as well. Police officers believe that the vandalism was done Saturday afternoon and by people who had no fear, for the City Hall was just across the street.

Obama acts on it

Posted on May 31st, 2008 by Gary

The campaign has decided to act on the recent rumors leading to certain false facts, about Sen. Obama being things that he is not. The campaign has been spread out all over Ohio, where the rumors have been started, and educates the voters at least five months before election time.

In some places, however, it may be too late. The campaign must think of more innovative ways to get these already-decided people to change their minds. And some people who would want to make sure that their vote would be for someone worth it, only has these questions to ask himself, “Do I believe in the commercials that sell him as someone whom I can trust with my life, with my country? Or do I believe the rumors (which could possibly have some tad bit of truth in them)?”

These people are not bad people, they only want to vote for the right man to be leader of their country. They cannot be blamed for being so ever-critical about this. They only need to believe in their hearts that they will choose the one who deserves to be in that position.

Signs show that the US may be attacked in 2009

Sen. Joe Lieberman sees a pattern in US history that it would most likely be attacked by terrorists once again in 2009. He believes that the Republican’s nominee for presidency is more prepared than that of the Democrats’.

Lieberman feels that the new president will be put to a test in his first year at the White House, he tells Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. Two previous attacks have led to that conclusion – the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened during Bill Clinton’s first year as president, while the bombing of the Twin Towers happened during the first year of George Bush as president. These two occurrences have led Lieberman to believe that it could happen again, once a newly elected president has taken his seat at the White House.

Two different sides to Obama. One truth

Posted on May 10th, 2008 by Gary

As in everything in this world, there are two sides to a story. Two different opinions, views, yet only one truth. Possibly, there could be some truth in both views, however, it is the one that is the lesser evil that we believe in.

On US news, and the world of politics, Sen. Barack Obama has been recognized to be one abiding citizen, a Christian family man, with very high regard to law and responsibility. However, once you enter the web pages of the internet, you are faced with a whole new look on him. He is said to be someone who is a gay Muslim-hater and someone who refuses to abide by the law. Which part do you believe?

Obama: Hillary’s Like Bush

Last time, we reported that Hillary Clinton would “obliterate” Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear missiles. Most were wondering how Obama would use this in his campaign and how Iran would react top such comments.

Obama minces no words and compares her to a Republican President:

“It’s not the language we need right now, and I think it’s language reflective of George Bush. We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling and tough talk and in the meantime have made a series strategic decisions that have actually strengthened Iran.”

Is George Bush a boogey man now?

Iran strongly condemned Clinton’s comments, calling her comments as “provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible” and “a flagrant violation” of the U.N. Charter.

Only time will tell whether Clinton said the right thing or not.

Hillary: War Monger?

I wonder how Iran will react to this? According to the aspiring Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton, she is willing to totally obliterate Iran if it ever uses nuclear missiles against Israel.

The statement was mentioned during an interview with a morning TV Show.

“We should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that goes much further than just Israel. Of course I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would incur massive retaliation from the United States. But I would do the same with other countries in the region … . You can’t go to the Saudis or the Kuwaitis or UAE and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say, well, don’t acquire these weapons to defend yourself unless you’re also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup.”

Obama Responds to ‘Bitter’ Criticism

Posted on April 14th, 2008 by Robert

Since his last comments on Pennsylvanians, Obama has been attacked by both Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Although he expected it from McCain, he was surprised that Clinton got on it as well.

“I expected this out of John McCain,” Obama said. “But I’ve got to say, I’m a little disappointed when I start hearing the exact same talking points coming out of my Democratic colleague Hillary Clinton. She knows better.”

So what did Hillary have to say about it? She said that Obama’s remarks were “elitist, out of touch and frankly, patronizing.” McCain mirrored the same sentiments as well.

Obama then went on the offensive against Clinton by mocking her support for gun rights and at one point saying, “Shame on her.” He also mentioned that his comments earlier were “subject to be twisted,” but added, “It sounds like some politics being played.”

Obama: Pennsylvannians are Bitter

Obama may pay for his comments about Pennsylvanians. 

On a recorded speech in San Francisco, Sen. Obama commented the following regarding people from Pennsylvania: 

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. … So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

This may even further alienate blue-collar voters and affect his campaign to be the Democratic Candidate for the Presidency. How will Clinton and McCain react? No doubt, these two will jump on this issue like a wolf jumps on a sleeping sheep.

Here’s the transcribed and recorded speech. 

Obama: Deportations Unrealistic

Posted on April 2nd, 2008 by Robert

Sen. Obama says that deporting 12 million people is not realistic and will require an “honest conversation.” This was his reply to questions regarding illegal immigrants entering the United States.

Further on, the Senator detailed the possible scenario if all illegal immigrants were “sent home”:

Mr. Obama said many illegals have “settled,” “bought property” and have children who are U.S. citizens. He said the country would have to devote “all our law enforcement resources to rounding up people without papers, even if they weren’t causing any trouble,” and once that’s done, the country would have to “empty out our jails.”

He is however suggesting that the illegal immigrants register, pay a fine, pay back taxes, and learn English.
