An issue with the lies of Barack Obama

While I am not surprised when I hear Barack Obama continually say he will meet with terrorist “potentates” around the world without “precondition,” an approach no one should be
surprised by given his documented connections to the terrorist Bill Ayers and the radical anti-American commentator Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., it is the lying and backtracking by
him I personally take the most concern with.
Though his past associations with Ayers, the founder of the domestic terrorist organization the Weather Underground, and his past attendance of the radical anti-patriotic preaching
of Wright are well documented, when brought to light he immediately denies his associations and makes counter accusations. Barack Obama has demonstrated a lack of judgment
in those whom he has chosen to associate with during his rise to the top of the Democratic Party ticket, and during the first presidential debate he showed a lack of sincerity for our
troops by obviously not having a clue as to the name of the soldier he wore on his wrist. He also displayed a lack of maturity and respect by continually rolling his eyes at the
answers provided by John McCain.
Now is the time for America to elect a man who associated with Ronald Reagan on his rise to the top, who sincerely cares for our soldiers because we cared for him when he
defended us and has the maturity and experience to lead us to victory on all fronts. Now is the time for America to vote for John McCain for president.

pwanon, yes, I misspoke. George Bush and John McCain are just so connected to one another by policy, I simply tied them together with the Administration comment. Clearly McCain is running to form a new administration from which he can continue the Bush policies.
I will try to clarify in the future they are two administrations working with one set of ideals.

Some say that Obama only went to Ayers house on occasion because they worked together… Obama also didn’t have a clue what a bad guy Jeremiah Wright was even after only 20 years of very close associating with him. Obama also doesn’t know anything about Farrakhan’s hate for America either…
When it takes such a “great, charismatic speaker” two minutes pick a word my 7 years old would use with no hesitation - you have to be blind not to see Obama the deceiver, who is trying so hard to keep covered his ‘can’t go any further left’ liberal views! Plus he is someone who is ready and willing to see abortion surviving babies to be left to die - I rest my case!
McCain is a straight shooter! Palin is for what all unbiased Americans stood for! If they haven’t dug anything real against her yet - let’s make her the first US lady president in 2112!
Ooops! A liberal just got a heart attack somewhere…

The Bush-McCain administration? Man, that’s wierd…I thought for a second he was the senior Senator from Arizona.
And the failed financial policies? Okay, Ray…I’m going to explain this to you like the kindergartner that you are. The Clinton administration, and predominantly the Democrats in Congress, are responsible for this mess. Here’s how it works.
The Clinton administration explicitly directed companies like Fannie and Freddie to issue home loans to “low-income and minority” applicants. Team Clinton even directed them that it was acceptable to use receipt of WELFARE AND UNEMPLOYMENT checks as proof of credit-worthiness. In a shocking development, most of these low-income “homeowners” defaulted, and were foreclosed on, bursting the bubble that Billy Jeff created. Thus you have the situation at hand. But don’t take my word for it. Take Barney Frank’s:
“I think it is clear that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are sufficiently secure so they are in no great danger… Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do very good work, and they are not endangering the fiscal health of this country.”
Or Bill Clinton’s:
“The responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more with resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was president to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”
Or the Washington Post:
“Sen. Christopher Dodd, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has the gall to ask in a Bloomberg Television interview: I have a lot of questions about where was the administration over the last eight years’” before explaining that “Dodd—who along with Democratic Sens. John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the top four recipients of Fannie and Freddie campaign contributions from 1988 to 2008—actively opposed such measures and further weakened existing regulation.”
Sorry Ray…but when your own party is admitting responsibility for the failure, it’s not quite possible to blame in on George W. Bush.
So do you get it now? Or do you need a diagram, with some crayons and perhaps a coloring book?

Well, the difference is the Republican’s have chosen to make Sarah Palin the face of their ticket rather than the top of their ticket.
Of course, this all changed after Palin’s performance at the VP debate, where she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
So okay, pwanon. I’ll change my focus to the failed financial policies of the Bush-McCain Administration and continue to watch the freefall downward spiral of the McCain-Palin team that pulled out of Michigan, is failing in Ohio, slipping in Florida and losing in Virginia.
As long as we can be assured the nation remains Pro-Choice for the next eight years - I’m good.

Funny how Mr. Royse rants about Jeremiah Wright but conveniently forgets about Sen. McCain’s former acceptance of Catholic-basher John Hagee and Kenyan witch-hunter Thomas Muthee’s blessing of Gov. Palin at the Wasilla Assembly. Personally, I do not think any of these preachers truly matter in this campaign.
By the way, the “documented connections” between Sen. Obama and Bill Ayers consist of an invitation to a party at Ayers’ house and a time when the two served on the same charity board. I have a feeling that every time Karl Rove closed the door to his White House office he had a little chuckle at the gullibility of American voters who bought such smears and put him there.

Good point Ray. Let’s talk about lies. BHO said he was totally, 100% committed to taking public funding for this election. Until he realized really smart companies and corporations like Fannie and Freddie wanted to give him $126,000. Then he didn’t love public funding so much.
Or remember that time he talked about “change?“ Of course you do…its all he ever says. But then nobody could ever find one instance in his short, and very undistinguished, career in which he actually reformed anything.
Or the time he said he was never present when Jeremiah Wright spewed all kinds of racist invective, and said that those that died on 9/11 were justifiably murdered. I guess the good Reverend was only talking about roses and sunshine for the 20 years BHO sat in his pews…with no objections to anything that was said.
And as opposed to Ray, I’m talking the candidate at the top of the ticket…not the bottom.

Pwanon makes a good point about lies.
It would be nice if Sarah Palin - when she actually shows up in public - would stop lying about the Bridge to Nowhere and the “thanks but no thanks”. It would nice to see Sarah admit she actually TOOK the money and cashed the check. Then on to the jet <wink wink> that DID NOT SELL on ebay.
Oh, how about the whopper where she said she would support the Alaskan investigation into her abuse of power charges, then has told every one involved not to cooperate?
Republicans that live in glass houses like Pwanon should not throw stones, least one of those stones breaks their own window.
My favorite lie of course, is John McCain saying the economy was fine just hours before the collapse. Is he out of touch or what?

Unfortunately for Mr. Royse (and the rest of America) this is barely the tip of iceberg when it comes to the lies of BHO. Some people acknowledge him for what he is…the same old politician, who take money from the same old corrupt influences. All he does is dress it up in flowery rhetoric to disguise it…or, as Mr. Royse has pointed out…flat out lie about it. The people who acknowledge the fraud that is BHO are called conservatives.
The rest are called the enemies of America. Woops..there I go again…I meant Democrats.

I believe John McCain is just a LITTLE more closely associated with George W. Bush - the president he supports 95% of the time and the president John McCain requested speak at his nomination event just last month to demonstrate their closeness - rather than Ronald Reagan, who was like, so 20 years ago.
Again, a nice try to put some distance between the Bush-McCain policy team of financial implosion but 20 years is a bit of a stretch. I still can’t figure why John campaigned in the primaries as a strong Bush Republican and is now running as a liberial Republican?
