Under Fire
The Headline read: "Under fire, Obama clarifies small-town remarks "
Obama is under fire? I thought Hillary was the one who supposedly had been under fire, by snipers no less.
Remember a few weeks ago when Obama and Clinton were debating the importance of 'Words." Hillary had said that Obama was just using 'words' to make people feel good but that his 'words' had no true meanings. Obama then defended himself with some fancy dancing about how his 'words' were what he believed in and that his words had meaning. He stated that when he spoke it was more than 'just words.' This was all followed, ad nauseum by the TV talking heads, with a big discussion of how 'words' let people know who you really are.
Well now, Obama tells us that in describing how he really feels about small town people (or religious, hard working, Patriotic Americans) he claims that he may have used the "wrong words!"
I wonder, how many times Obama feels he has had to use the "wrong words" NOT to tell us how he really feels about America and Her citizens?
Earlier Michelle Obama stated, from a written, prepared speech, that in her entire life, "...this is the first time I am proud of my country." This was no ad lib, guffaw or mistake but from a pre-written, thought out and calculated speech. Yet she then claimed that this was not what she meant to say!
Meanwhile Hillary forgets that her visit to Bosnia served no other purpose but as a photo op for the Clinton administration and that there were more cameras on her and daughter Chelsea than on the Red Carpet on Oscar night, as she tells war stories that would make a combat Veteran wanna-be blush with embarrassment. Amazingly, just when that begins to die down, and so as not to be outdone by Michelle, Bill stands before two different crowds and tries to defend those "under fire" lies made by his 'wife!'
Hillary claims she was temporarily sleep deprived when she stated the under fire lies, and that it was only a one time mistake. But, again, those damn videos pop up showing her making these false claims on numerous occasions and at varying different stops during the last few months of her campaign. In using her sleep deprived alibi she also forgets that just prior to this flap, her campaign ran the ad of, "Who do you want answering the phone at 3 AM in the White House?" Certainly not Hillary if for months she was so sleep deprived during normal waking hours that she is hallucinating about snipers and incoming!
Meanwhile, again, when the hate videos of Reverend Wright are made public our All American Boy Barrack first tries to tell us in his own 'words' that for twenty years he never heard or knew that this was going on in his church or that he did not know that 'his mentor' and 'moral compass' Rev. Wright felt this way. Just like I do not want a sleep deprived Hillary answering that 3 AM call, I don't want an ADD (attention deficient disorder) President Obama sitting through a rushed twenty-minute high security meeting, with the future of our nation hanging in the balance, knowing that he is not now paying any better attention to his advisors than he had been to his 'moral compass' and an entire congregation shouting "Amen!" and "Hallelujah!" in response to "God Damn America!"
Question: Just what is Barrack Hussein Obama, Muslim or Christian? In his formative years he was raised as a Muslim but now he attends a Christian church and states that he is a Christian, yet by his own admission he hasn't listened to anything being said in his present church for the last twenty years! Perhaps at the next debate they should ask Obama, “Who is Jesus?” If he says, “My gardener,” I am sure he will later explain that he didn’t mean to use those words.
Hillary voted for the Iraq War but now wants to say that she was opposed to it all along. Apparently she didn't vote according to her convictions. Of course Obama states that he was opposed to the war all along and would not have voted for it. A mute point since he wasn't around at the time when he could have backed up this empty boast. My bet is that he would have done what the majority of Congress did at the time and would have gone along with the crowd in sending our sons and daughters to war.
Without even looking into their platforms all of this stupidity, and much more, should be enough to warn anyone against voting for either of these two contenders. You can actually forget that Hillary and Obama are Socialists and seem to stand just this side of Stalin. You can disregard that they both want to virtually eliminate our military and defense systems even now during a multi-front war against Islamic terrorists and while coinciding with a major Chinese build-up of the same. You can forgive their stance on illegal immigration and their refusal to consider building a border wall or their willingness to give illegals amnesty. Pay no attention to the fact that they will raise the working man’s tax debt to institute more welfare programs for their socialist dependants.
Furthermore, anyone who still believes that Hillary is going to pass a national health plan for ALL Americans must have a short memory. Just how many times are the American voters supposed to fall for that false promise? Bill ran with that in his campaign, twice, the first time was 16 years ago! He didn't get ‘er done then and she won't get ‘er done now.
Likewise, Obama declares that, “He will not cater to special interests!” We, the voters, have heard this before, too many times. But what I find even more galling with this bogus boast is that we are supposed to ignore the simple fact that Obama has collected more money in campaign donations than either of his opponents, Clinton and McCain. In fact, from private donors Obama is collecting record amounts of these campaign donations. If elected, Obama is going to be ‘paying back’ a whole lot of favors to somebody. You can bet your soon to be repossessed house on that one.
We can even disregard the facts of both candidates’ inexperience. Obama, as a freshman Senator, who has not even held that office for more than three years, has absolutely no experience in running anything except neighborhood Chicago politics and has not passed one major bill during that time. Then there is Hillary who thinks that if you are married to a President you are then experienced and capable of being a president. I would guess that if she had married a carpenter she could then also build a house.
If it wasn't the serious business of choosing our next Commander-In-Chief during wartime, this Democratic primary would be entertaining in that you almost just can't wait to see how these two clowns will lie, use the wrong words, try to explain away their 'words' or bring in the next idiot connected to them who will embarrass them!
But forget all of the above, and unfortunately more of the same that is not mentioned here. For the real trouble is that neither one of them are capable of even running their own campaigns let alone our country. With Cuban flags draped in Obama campaign offices, declaring that his words are who he is but then after getting caught using his words to describe how he really feels about us, and then explaining that they are just words that he now explains he didn’t mean to use. Or by placing in the forefront of his campaign a racist, hateful preacher, then while defending that preacher he slanders his own family members as racists. Along with his spouse espousing her continued dissatisfaction and shame of America, Obama was better off in this election when “Barraky, we hardly knew ye.”
But then we all knew Hillary. The woman who claims that she never knew what was going on right under her nose in her own family but now wants us to entrust the futures of our own families to her. Here is a woman who apparently cannot even plan what her own husband is going to talk about in his next appearance on her behalf, yet we are supposed to allow her to plan our collective futures. A woman, who along with her husband has more whatever-Gates in her past than three Richard Nixons, and a woman who cannot tell the truth, but wants us to trust her and believe in her. Has anyone yet figured out just what she had hoped to gain in telling that ridiculous sniper story? The only thing I have been able to come up with is that she just cannot tell the truth, period.
But it goes even further than this for as these two Democrats cannot even run their own campaigns it is getting all the more evident that the Democrats can not even run their own party let alone this nation. How disorganized must you be when you cannot get your very own delegates to agree on when to have their state primaries? They are now debating on if they are going to even allow some of these delegates to be counted at their primary. A Democratic majority in Congress adjourns before renewing an important security bill meant to protect us in our fight on terrorism. Even when Congress resumes this bill sits idle as they worry and fuss over the future of Arctic polar bears and the imaginary threat of global warming, as we citizens remain exposed to the real and all to eminent threat of Islamic terrorism here in our country. How many people have already died because of Islamic jihad? Now how many have died because of global warming? Priorities, Democrats have never heard of them.
Yet with all of the above said, the reason I will not vote for Obama or Clinton is because they are elitists and because they believe that I, we, are just too stupid to think. They demand that we should only believe what they want us to believe not what we have seen with our own eyes or have heard. I have seen them do and say all of the above. I have watched their lies and excuses spew from their own lips on countless videos and newscasts. I am supposed to ignore the hate, which has been advocated against my country and its citizens. I am supposed to disregard the blatancy of their lies. I am to pretend that when they, or those around them, used ‘words’ that backfired on them, time and again, that these words where just chosen badly or that they simply did not mean it. I am supposed to forget that I AM, that I have a brain and that I can think. Clinton and Obama want us to forgive and forget the contempt in which they so obviously regard the American people as we rejoice in our ignorance in what has become the most ridiculous spectacle of a presidential campaign in the history of our nation. Yet they still want us vote for one of them.
It ain’t gonna happen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the next President of the United States, John McCain.
Dear God, let it be so.
Get Out And Vote!
God Bless America!
