Obama's Golden Rule: It's never my fault.

Obama also has trouble with geography, considering that Kentucky borders his home state of Illinois. And it's far closer to his home state of Illinois than Hillary's former state of Arkansas.

Then again, it's still flyover country for Obama no matter how you cut it and it further speaks to how disconnected he is from most Americans.

Again I find myself in the unsatisfying position of more or less agreeing with Barack Obama. I think people have tried to paint him as a Muslim, which he's not.

Now: I can't say I appreciate his brand of 'Christianity' any more than, say, Sufiistic Islam. So he might want to think twice before drawing attention to his so-called faith.

It is his own words like this that will do him in.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

If only people wouldn't question him...and just let him eat his waffle.

“And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News. Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism or what have you since the beginning of the campaign.”

Is he trying to piss off voters?

re: #8 Shifty

I think Obama better start talking with his buddies and pals - the jet setting elites who enjoy their private jets while lecturing everyone else on how to live their lives.

It's also yet more insight into his socialist views - that he's going to do what he can to change behaviors not through market forces, but by government decree.

re: #7 Cognito

Take a look at this from the Christian Science Monitor:
[Link: www.csmonitor.com...]

He acknowledged that he’s trying to “reverse a lot of misconceptions” about his background. He is a Christian, although some e-mail chains have said he is a Muslim.

Don't worry, Barrack. The Muslim world isn't fooled.

“And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News."

"...who I implicitly dislike"

If Obama were to lose Oregon, the loss would rattle the foundations of his campaign.

Hillary is from Oregon, isn't she?

This man, who says that he wants to 'unite' the country....is probably the most divisive politician we've seen in decades.

I should have quoted just a bit of that CSMonitor article:

According to Islamic jurisprudence, children of a Muslim father – even an apparently nonpracticing one, such as Obama's father, and irrespective of the mother's faith – are automatically Muslims. Most Muslims around the world agree: A child of a Muslim father is a Muslim. Period.

Should Obama become US commander in chief, there is a strong likelihood that Al Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab, will exploit his background to argue that an apostate is leading the global war on terror (read: attacks against fellow Muslims). This perception would be leveraged to galvanize sympathizers into action.

If he doesn't care about Kentucky today, how can he care about it in Nov.?

He's stated he intends to meet with murderous, sexist, scheming terrorist leaders, but Fox News? I guess he is a man of principles, a man of certain standards.

P.S. Charles, if BHO wins, will I get ODS?

Yeah, he really seems afraid of Fox news. Said last week that he was going to go after O'Reilly.When I read that I wondered what he meant.The funny thing is if he had gone on O'Reilly he would have been treated with kid gloves like Hillary was..The more he opens his mouth the worse he looks.

Either he doesn't know that it is only the rabid far-left (the MoveOn part) of his party that believe this crap about FOX, or he just absolutely needs to play the victim-card that it doesn't matter to him. The unraveling of this candidate is beginning.

1) Blame Fox News.

Good point. Clinton had several confirmed girlfriends which liberals (the MSM) wrote off as his "personal life." Nothing to see here - even when he was harassing them. However the NY Times runs an article attempting to link McCain to a young hot lobbyist when there really is nothing there (no romance - nothing).

Oregon votes entirely by mail.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Oregon is fertile ground for Barack Obama, the self-described "change" candidate. The state that has led the way in everything from bike trails to assisted suicide is also the first to vote entirely by mail.

Oregon's 2 million-plus voters began receiving ballots more than two weeks ago, and 22 percent have returned them, according to the secretary of state's office.

The ballots will be tallied May 20 in the Democratic primary between Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But, then the voters disenchanted with the Hildebeast started voting for him. Gobbs of untraceable money came from all over the world.. and here we are.

re: #130 Slumbering Behemoth

How many heads will explode when they see the "Buck Farack" merchandise?

My favorite Obama [Carter] quote from the weekend

He also attacked McCain's plan for a gas tax holiday to cope with rising pump prices, which Clinton supports, as well as his other environmental plans, saying the Republican had consistently opposed fuel efficiency standards.

"For him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas tax holiday for three months, that's a phony solution," he said.

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

Yeah. We should ask "permission" I suppose as we drive and set room temps.
Phony solution. Rollback excise tax on gas. Do more drilling.
Yeah. Both of those sound like losing deals to me. Right.

Ive argued at length that a rollback in FET on motor fuels isnt a solution but a "relief" that folks might appreciate. Particularly truckers.

To insist that a rollback on FET will cause a direct increase
in consumption is absurd and slavish to economic theory.
What we are more likely to see...since gasoline is a "priority purchase"
and far more inelastic than some assume....is an obvious increase in other discretionary spending.
The net net is no different than the rebate checks.
The "payout" is different is all.

His position on drilling? Like so many others...its driven by polar bears
rather than survival.

re: #147 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

In New Jersey, people were having spills, running off in the rain into the water supply. Betcha not a bunch of gas spillage going on now.

One of the reasons was because self service doesn't make easy for those with disabilities. I've seen plenty of gas station attendants in NJ pump gas and then squirt the overflow all over cars or the ground...

Pump and run isn't as frequent, though with the current price, I'm sure that some are contemplating it.

re: #119 Slumbering Behemoth

Yep, that's the law. When I moved from CA to WA I was completely ignorant of that law as I stopped for gas in OR.

You should have seen the look on that dude's face when he came tearing out from inside the station as I began to pump my own gas.

I bet that dude wishes he had a picture of my face, as well, when he told me pumping my own gas was illegal.

When I was a kid, it wasn't illegal. Matter of fact that's where a lot of high schoolers got their first taste of WORKING for a living and dealing with capitalism. Nowdays, 'would you like your windshield cleaned and oil checked?' has become self service. It's no wonder kids don't know how to get along in the 'real' world. They don't have to work from the gitgo. (not to be confused with Citgo)

Last week, I saw something that I haven't seen for YEARS! There was an actual 'gas war' in Brighton, CO. The final price before a truce was called was $2.94/gallon. I laughed my butt off all through the traffic jam about the wonders of capitalism..... With the number of cars in the queue waiting for a pump to open, I'm sure they made more cash than they dreamed they would. If the tankers hadn't been there it would have ended a lot earlier than it did.

Hey it's such a complicated procedure you don't want just any one pumping gas. You need a licensed professional to make sure it's done correctly.

I may have said it before, but here goes. I give Oprah a pass for these reasons:

1) She made millions legally. That's capitalism and it's part of the American dream.

2) She gives $Millions to charity.

3) Using her huge platform (TV show) she successfully divided millions of dhimmis in a way in which which I don't feel we could have done.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

All of this is based on old, "LIMITED" concepts of economics: "There's ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT AVAILABLE."

Today, we have limitless resources, in truth. We no longer harvest whales for whale-oil lighting because we (humans) create alternatives. We no longer harvest whalebone for corset-stays because we've created plastic alternatives (and done away with most corsets, thank God!)

But the whole O'bama thrust here is fear-of-loss: "Not enough to go around" and that, in itself, is falsehood. (see "God Wants YOU to Be Rich", PZPilzer)

She was literally standing in the spreading puddle of gasoline when I realized what was happening and hit the e-stop button.

TRust me on this: Obama has a weird male thing with older men. I believe it is due to a father wound for having had his father abandon him. It makes him gullible and vulnerable to strong, older men - and to alpha women like Michelle and Oprah.

When I worked at a gas station, There either wasn't an e-stop button or I wasn't told where it was. Yes, I remember the pull down license plates they were a real pain if the spring tension was too tight. Had to jam the filler cap between the body and back of the plate to keep it open.

You know? Its easy for economists to assume that a rollback in FET will cause some direct increase in consumption. But where is the everyday "proof"? Does consumption follow an exact relationship to price?
Not with motor fuels.
Gas is up 20% from a year ago and consumption [projected 08] can be called virtually flat [last I saw was a projected .3 % decrease].
So where is that assumed [by the experts] falloff that economic theory
demands? Obviously its not a direct/smooth line relationship....between gas price and consumption.
To assume that a tax rollback would trigger a consumption
increase....and cause behaviour different than we see with a normal falloff in gas prices is simply silly.

re: #230 beachkatie

/ride like Paul Revere and spread the word

If you want people to conserve energy, Thats fine. We should all try to eliminate wasting energy. If we reduce consumption, then it will drive prices lower for everyone. But you don't get that point across by scolding people for using too much, it would be smarter to motivate them by pointing out it will save them money two ways. Initially because they will spend less as soon as they use less and eventually they will save even more once we collectively create a glut in the supply and the prices fall.

Greed is a powerful motivator. Use it!

re: #191 strandedsf

The minister he gave over $50,000 in just two years in order to support the dissemination of his hateful, anti-American, racist message?

I'm gonna pick at this for a second here:

He gave a large sum of money to an organization to help it further its message. That must certainly mean that he agrees with the message and endorses the spreading of said message.

But, he has claimed to never really heard the organizations message, particularly the ugly parts. That must certainly mean that he does not carefully scrutinize the things he gives significant financial support to.

So that makes him one of two things:

1) Someone who not only sympathizes with, but also consciously and financially supports a racist, troofer-istic, anti-American, hate filled agenda; or...

2) Someone who foolishly squanders large amounts of money on things that he doesn't have the slightest knowledge on.

Possessing either one of those qualities should disqualify a person from holding a high office, especially the highest office in the nation.

I do respect Oprah for many things she has done but I just don't like her show and the material it covers and even how she deals with those issues.

Her charity scores major points though... people need to take note on learning THAT is how it should be done. She pays all expenses for administration/operating costs and all donations go directly into that charity itself. She also checks up on it... well, maybe that school in Africa slipped through the cracks but she caught it. But, hey... it is Africa and a lot of naive people try doing the right thing and get taken over and over. I'm guessing there is a reason they call it a Nigerian scam and not a Denmark scam.
