Obama Campaign Covering Up Involvement with ACORN?
An article from the Winter 2003 edition of the magazine Social Policy makes it very clear that Barack Obama’s ties to ACORN are extensive.

AP Notices a Flaw in the Messiah

Thu, May 22, 2008 at 8:10:42 am PST

Barack Obama’s ad hoc, make-it-up-as-we-go foreign policy is so pathetic that even the Associated Press is beginning to notice: Obama’s outreach to US foes is questionable.

When I hear Bobby Jindal speak, he sounds so real and down to earth. Obama on the other hand sounds so overly polished, phony and full of major hot air. He gives me the creeps! Jindal on the other hand would be a shoe in for McCain! I've listened to Bobby on local radio over the years before he was gov - he always checked in to let us know what he was doing and how things were going. He is a very dedicated and hard working, sincere man who I would feel a lot of comfort if he takes up the offer! He loves Louisiana and he loves the US.

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton plumbing the depths of Obama's ignorance on foreign policy

here's the some of the transcript:
JB: I think the, we haven’t plumbed the depths of that ignorance yet, but I wouldn’t count on the mainstream media to do it during the course of the campaign. Look, he has led a very cosseted, privileged existence in his life, that this is not somebody born in poverty who was risen by his bootstraps. He’s had, basically, a fairly comfortable middle class life. He’s gone to Ivy League universities, he’s lived in a liberal bubble in Chicago. And you know, you don’t have to acquire a lot of knowledge to be acceptable in those circles, and I think what we’re seeing is, as he emerges from that bubble, we’re seeing his view of reality. And I think it’s right there for Senator McCain to go after.

Here's the deal. Obama is a lightweight socialist-minded inexperienced nancyboy.

There's no "there" there when it comes to Obama's own knowledge and expertise. All he has are vague principles, which he clothes in (surprise) vague language. He relies totally on his advisors, most of whom are from Brookings.

Ordinarily, this would be marginally acceptable: nobody can be expert in everything. The problem with Obama though is that he is so inexpert, so ignorant, and yet so overreaching in his feelings and rhetoric, that we have no way of knowing how he will evaluate the advice he's given. What does he have to test that advice against? His knowledge? No. His experience? *snort* No.

To some, he's appealing because he's "open" to doing things in a new way, but this is tantamount to admitting he doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And he doesn't. All he knows is that people seem to like him, want to back him (and get plum positions), and he's running for president dammit! He has these feelings that he's somehow important, and that's supposed to be enough for us.

All Obama is, is a vector for socialist/statist aspirations and desires to see America reduced in power and influence. That's it.

re: #33 maddogg,

Yeah, the Dems have really screwed the pooch this election cycle. It should have been theirs in a walk, but no, they had to make it interesting :-) There's really no way that Hillary can take the nomination that will be seen as legitimate by the followers of the Obamessiah. Any manuver with the superdelegates or Florida and Michigan's votes will be seen as stealing the election from Obama.

But the Obamessiah is already seen as having stepped on Hillary's natural right to be the nominee. After all, this was supposed to be a coronation, not a contest. Worse, the Obamessiah will max out in the Bluest of the Blue areas, but he won't win a single State that W won in '04. Obama will likely lose in the general election. Worse, by telling Florida and Michigan to piss up a rope in the primaries, they are giving McCain a leg up in the general. McCain won't win in a landslide, but he will get the magic 270 Electoral votes no matter how many L³iberals Obama gets in Oregon.

And the superdelegates know all this. Sucks to be a them. Hillary can take it to the Convention, and it looks like she intends to take it to the Convention. It's going to be exciting :-)

I think the Obama has been very clear about his foreign policy. It's all about hope and change. He hopes the iranian leadership will change their mind on nuclear weapons once he gets into office.

That's bizarre. Jindal is good people, but he'll be an even better national figure if he makes some serious progress in Louisiana first. I hope he doesn't take the VP job, and I think he won't, if it's offered. Louisiana needs him, and his national currency will be a lot stronger if he serves them well.

Granny's Popcorn Recipes -

Real Popcorn in the Microwave -

Put two small handfuls (a scant 1/4 cup) of popping corn into a brown paper lunch bag. Fold the top over firmly 1/2 inch, then fold down twice more. Microwave on high as usual, 4-5 minutes. No oil required, nothing more need be done to the bag. Yes, big popcorn has been ripping you off for years!

Southwest
- add a teaspoon or two of grated lime rind to the butter as it is melting. Toss with New Mexico powdered chile and salt to taste.

Vermont
- Add Maple Pepper instead of salt. Or grate in a little bit of maple sugar & add ground black pepper.

Cheese - Sprinkle with powdered cheddar from the dairy aisle or steal the cheese package from a box of mac & cheese.

Italian - Add a handful or two of freshly grated Parmesan or Romano and a splash of garlic powder.

Here's the deal. Obama is a lightweight socialist-minded inexperienced nancyboy.
All Obama is, is a vector for socialist/statist aspirations and desires to see America reduced in power and influence. That's it.

And that is good reason he shouldn't even be dog catcher, never mind president or senator.

He certainly does not seem to understand that he is on a year+ long job interview for the single most powerful position in the world. Every word out of his mouth, every thought in his head, everything he has ever done or ever written, anyone he has ever associated with and all of their thoughts/words/deeds are ALL fair game, the more so because he has absolutely NO track record at anything (which seems almost deliberate.)

repost: but worth it.

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton plumbing the depths of Obama's ignorance on foreign policy

here's the some of the transcript:
JB: I think the, we haven’t plumbed the depths of that ignorance yet, but I wouldn’t count on the mainstream media to do it during the course of the campaign. Look, he has led a very cosseted, privileged existence in his life, that this is not somebody born in poverty who was risen by his bootstraps. He’s had, basically, a fairly comfortable middle class life. He’s gone to Ivy League universities, he’s lived in a liberal bubble in Chicago. And you know, you don’t have to acquire a lot of knowledge to be acceptable in those circles, and I think what we’re seeing is, as he emerges from that bubble, we’re seeing his view of reality. And I think it’s right there for Senator McCain to go after.

I LOVE this! In one paragraph Bolton sliced, diced, and grilled BHO like a Benihana teppan chef!

One of the things that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis. That is a great pattern to emulate, isn't it?

Maybe this time we could play Global Thermonuclear War for real. Unlike Khrushchev, the Iranians don't care that they'd come out on the short end of the stick

Camelot was a very dangerous place.

Even Reagan tried to get around the Mad Mullahs in Iran, and try low-level meetings with the so-called "moderates" (Bud McFarland and the key-shaped cake). That got them exactly nowhere.
