Hey Barack-Actions speak louder than words….

It looks like you are going to win the nomination based on the premise of change, transformation, and unity between Republicans and Democrats….

Word to the wise….most republicans don’t read the huffington post or watch keith Olbermann…you have every right to go on left-wing TV shows, and post breaking news on left-leaning websites…but, if you want to be the change candidate, that brings down the walls between republicans and democrats….well, you need to actually speak to republicans, and, guess what…..republicans watch Fox News…..

Be a man….show your virtue that you speak so eloquently about….you will silence many critics.

You will talk to Iran…You will talk to Castro….Why not Hannity….Why not O’Reilly….they are Americans that represent many Americans….

NO ACTION WILL SILENCE YOUR CRITICS MORE THAN YOU WALKING THE WALK…YOU REACHING OUT…YOU TALKING TO REPUBLICANS…IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS THERE WILL BE NO “OBAMICANS..IN FACT, THERE WILL BE FEW INDEPENDENTS, WHO CAN BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD YOU SAY

What a hypocrite……this is the old Obama-sounds more like W politics (Preemtive war, no gay marriage)..back when he was campaigning against the INSURMOUNTABLE Alan Keyes (Barack has never actually had to run a competitive campaign until now-hence the whining)…Pre-axelrod…pre daily kos, and pre Obamaman Olbermann.

THE ARTICLE BELOW IS FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE IN 2004

By David Mendell, Tribune staff reporter

September 25, 2004

U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs.

Obama, a Democratic state senator from the Hyde Park neighborhood, made the remarks during a meeting Friday with the Tribune editorial board. Obama’s Republican opponent, Alan Keyes, was invited to attend the same session but declined.

Iran announced on Tuesday that it has begun converting tons of uranium into gas, a crucial step in making fuel for a nuclear reactor or a nuclear bomb. The International Atomic Energy Agency has called for Iran to suspend all such activities.

Obama said the United States must first address Iran’s attempt to gain nuclear capabilities by going before the United Nations Security Council and lobbying the international community to apply more pressure on Iran to cease nuclear activities. That pressure should come in the form of economic sanctions, he said.

But if those measures fall short, the United States should not rule out military strikes to destroy nuclear production sites in Iran, Obama said.

“The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures, including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?” Obama asked.

Given the continuing war in Iraq, the United States is not in a position to invade Iran, but missile strikes might be a viable option, he said. Obama conceded that such strikes might further strain relations between the U.S. and the Arab world.

“In light of the fact that we’re now in Iraq, with all the problems in terms of perceptions about America that have been created, us launching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in,” he said.

“On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse. So I guess my instinct would be to err on not having those weapons in the possession of the ruling clerics of Iran. … And I hope it doesn’t get to that point. But realistically, as I watch how this thing has evolved, I’d be surprised if Iran blinked at this point.”

As for Pakistan, Obama said that if President Pervez Musharraf were to lose power in a coup, the United States similarly might have to consider military action in that country to destroy nuclear weapons it already possesses. Musharraf’s troops are battling hundreds of well-armed foreign militants and Pakistani tribesmen in increasingly violent confrontations.

Obama said that violent Islamic extremists are a vastly different brand of foe than was the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and they must be treated differently.

“With the Soviet Union, you did get the sense that they were operating on a model that we could comprehend in terms of, they don’t want to be blown up, we don’t want to be blown up, so you do game theory and calculate ways to contain,” Obama said. “I think there are certain elements within the Islamic world right now that don’t make those same calculations.

“… I think there are elements within Pakistan right now–if Musharraf is overthrown and they took over, I think we would have to consider going in and taking those bombs out, because I don’t think we can make the same assumptions about how they calculate risks.”

A last resort

Obama’s willingness to consider additional military action in the Middle East comes despite his early and vocal opposition to the Iraq war. Obama, however, also has stressed that he is not averse to using military action as a last resort, although he believes that President Bush did not make that case for the Iraq invasion…

Also during the session, Obama said that, if elected, he likely would make the health-care crisis his first priority. He said he would seek to expand the federal program that gives aid to poor children without health coverage, improve the COBRA program to allow for greater portability of coverage, and push for small businesses to receive tax credits to help pay for employee health insurance.

Views on gay marriage

Earlier Friday, Obama clarified his position on gay marriage after several days of criticism from [GOP Senate candidate Alan] Keyes on the issue. Keyes, a vehement opponent of gay marriage who has called homosexuals “selfish hedonists,” charged during a campaign swing Downstate this week that Obama favors gay marriage.

But during a taping of WBBM-AM’s “At Issue,” Obama said that his Christian faith dictates that marriage should be between a man and woman.

“I’m a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman,” Obama said.

Obama said he would not let his religious beliefs dictate the way he approaches public policy. He said he would supports civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, as well as letting individual states determine if marriage between gay and lesbian couples should be legalized.

“Giving them a set of basic rights would allow them to experience their relationship and live their lives in a way that doesn’t cause discrimination,” Obama said. “I think it is the right balance to strike in this society.”

Yes We Can!

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 3, 2008 by Ray

Yes We Can! say Obama is inexperienced. Best way to shut up an Obama suporter: ask them, “what is the most significant accomplishment of his political career” (community organizer doesn’t count)…..what was that…yep, crickets. By the way, what is a Community organizer? I live in Chicago, I’ve never seen a community organizer, and the community he organized, ain’t so organized. Please, anyone who thinks he changed the south side of Chicago, follow the link below (Obama, if you are the real change agent, you better get home quick homie, because something needs to be fixed):

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040102300_pf.html

Yes We can! Question why Obama has never challenged, or tried to change, the ineffective, and corrupt, Chicago political machine. The link below sums it up perfectly:

(Can someone please ask him if he likes to ride in Todd Stroeger Jr’s private elevator (see link below), in city Hall, paid for by our tax dollars {which is now at a nation-leading 10.25%)
http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/Todd.Stroger.private.2.334194.html

Yes We Can! Explain to the country that Chicago had more homicides last year, than NYC (NYC has 3x the population of Chicago).

Yes We Can! Laugh hysterically when we hear someone say: ” I was originally for a different candidate, but my son/daughter in high-school/college told me to vote for Barack Obama, and I was inspired to do so (This is Chris Matthew’s favorite story-it seems almost daily he has an imaginary person tell him this story)—What college kid playing Wii, watching MTV2, smoking a bong, and paying none of their own bills, wouldn’t vote for Obama (Everyone in Hollywood is-when your in your tweens, teens, and early 20′s-Hollywood knows all)—it’s up to adults to realize that if Ben Affleck is supporting a candidate, than this is probably the wrong candidate.

Yes We can! say Obama sat in Trinity United Church of Christ for one of four reasons: 1. He truly believes the garbage being spewed out of there. 2. It’s politically expedient, in Chicago politics, to be a member 3. His wife truly believes the garbage being spewed 4. They have a great fish fry (my guess is: a blend of 2, 3 and 4)

Yes We Can! Feel nauseous when we see a yuppie in a BMW with an Obama sticker (disclaimer: I am a yuppy in a beamer myself {no bumper sticker, though}. When I see this, which is everyday, I can tell that by putting this bumper sticker on their car, or by putting a sign up on their $ 4 mm dollar Lincoln Park home, these people have freed themselves (in their minds) of all issues that we confront (racism, poverty, war, etc..) This action of support allows rich white people (you know, “typical white people”, like myself) to feel free from guilt, and so fucking cool…

Peace out, more to come
