I have a hard time finding any accomplishments by Obama because he hasn't been around long enough to get his sox dirty.
Dorine H---Agree,..and for that I will be forever grateful,...I come from a huge family of Vet's & currant Military family members,... as my father says thats what makes it all the worse that he would jump at the chance to sell us out.
Col G--I think more dirt is coming up everyday,....stinky sox's.

While you are at it, do some research on all the whores Bill was doing while he was governor! His own bodyguards have exposed knowledge of his use of government guards for his hotel visits! Not to mention the hundreds of millions in cocaine money that was funneled through the Arkansas Loan Agency set up by Bill. Not to mention the misterious murder of two teens who saw the cocaine being brought in...or the death of the guy in the Whitewater Scandal...He shot himself!
What you folks don't realize is that we have no rights any more. The republicans and the democrats are similar to the Gambinos or the Gianis...Are 100% corrupt. Not 50%.....100%!!! Why? Because they allow the Federal Reserve to exist! A private bank that they borrow money from for OUR country! Folks, we don't need to borrow one cent! The Treasury has the ability to create our money! We pay the PRIVATE federal reserve interest on money they create our of thin air!
We had a great candidate who rivals Abraham Lincoln in his honesty, and knowledge of complete corruption of our government. His name is Ron Paul. There is no way McCain could get more votes than Ron Paul unless 90% of American voters are brain dead or the electronic voting system is 100% corrupted. I assume the latter is the case.
We have zero need for any electronic voting mechanism in this country. Instead, we had it rammed down our throats, and there is zero accountability of that system. If you think deeply enough about it, then you will understand. Why do we need any secrecy in our vote? I WANT everyone to know who I voted for! I want my vote to be tallied on a state or national register as I vote! With my name along side of my vote! Secrecy only breeds voting corruption. Computers....bring 100% corruption to ALL voting, and leave the actual candidate selection to those who control the computers...it's that simple...Your vote means absolutely nothing any more.
Who controls the computers...the same ultrawealthy bankers who own our country! They own Diebold...etc...the manufacturers of the secret computerized voting machines!
It cracks me up how folks attack so called liberals in government. Okay, so give me an example? We voted in so called liberals to end the Iraq debacle where we have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent folks, and what did we get? Status quo!
Wake up folks...there are no differences between democrats and republicans. Have you ever heard one of them ever state that there is no LAW that requires you to pay income tax on your labor? No...even though that is 100% true! Don't beleive me, then call the IRS, and ask them for the specific law or statute, and the number of it!
We keep being told how great our country is as millions keep losing jobs, homes...etc...Our borders are wide open to any illegal alien who wants to come here! And yet, we are continually brainwashed on how we need more national security! folks, we don't need more military force. We need to bring ALL military forces home yesterday from around the globe. We need to drastically cut military spending, and eliminate needless programs. NO COUNTRY is on the verge of attacking us!!!!
The only reason these retards keep pushing for more NATIONAL SECURITY is because they are passing massive profits to their friends in the defense industry! They don't give a rat's ass about our soldiers! Most of you don't even realize that we would have a massive supply of good paying jobs here if NAFTA, and other free trade agreements were never passed!
If we somehow had a conflict with China, we would have zero national security since they now manufacture a massive portion of needed goods! Hillary will campaign that she supports national health insurance, but what she is failing to tell you is that she will never pass a bill for it!
So now that we have given up about one half of our Constitutional Rights so far to the Federal reserve puppets we call our government...what are we going to do to reinstate them? They did a real number on us all...using faked terrorist attacks most likely funded by our own CIA. Great Britain followed suit with subway bombings.
Folks, the Bank of England is no more English, than the Federal Reserve is American!!! These are dastardly bankers who run the PRIVATE world bank! They really don't give a rat's ass if you vote for McCain, Hillary or Obama...because they control them 100%.
Do you really think our government accidently gave away our jobs, and let in 20 million illegals, and started a false war in Iraq and Afghanistan out of stupidity? No...it is a plan to destroy most Americans, and for that matter most of the world population, and control what is left of it in the end. They have learned from the mistakes of their master...Adolf Hitler. Al-queda is a figment of our imagination! It should be called AL-CIA!!
Sure, you think I'm a kook! I have news for you...9/11 involved controlled demolitions. How do I know? Because I'm both a structural engineer, and a firefighter, and I've done my homework! Read the 9/11 commision report! It is a joke! Why was ALL evidence hauled away before any investigation was done? A first in forensic building collapse to ever occur on our planet! Why? Because Gulliani knew 100% it was a false attack, and so did our government. Building #7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 commision report! Why? Because they knew they could not dance around the fact that is was imploded with explosives.
How could they pull this off? Well, 95% of our Washington folks are 100% corrupt. The Pentagon, CIA, FBI, NSA are are corrupt. Why are they corrupt? Power...plain and simple! We hear our leaders talk about how we are doing Iraq a favor to bring them democracy as we kill hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, and yet OUR government overthrew a DEMOCRATIC government in Iran in the 1950's to install OUR dictator of choice...the Shah of Iran!
Yes, We desperately need a third party...the green party does exist already....We can't beat the dems or repubs with voting though...since they own the machines we vote on! It will only come from a massive grass roots uprising...be prepared for the police state they have created though...we will be branded as terrorists! The department of homeland security should be renamed to the department to quell any American Revolution to Destroy the Fascist Government we now have. We are dancing around with a Hitler type government now, and most Americans are oblivious to it. All they have to do is CALL you a threat or potential terrorist, and you could be jailed and tortured for life with no lawyer!!!! You all voted for Hillary, and all the idiots who passed the antiPatriot Act!!!! A 1000% unConstitutional ACT!
Government is supposed to fear the citizens...not the other way around. We have one of the most corrupt governments to ever exist on this planet! My guess is that Hillary will win no matter who votes for who. A vote on a computer chip means nothing if someone else owns the chip!
as for Obama,cn't name any
to it about the time he must have decided to run
for president by a helpful mentoring Richard Lugar.
Hmmm, new kind of politics, no. Fresh ideas, no.
Abstract:
United States Senators Richard G. Lugar and Barack Obama
sent US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a letter on 6
January 2006 concerning Senate Bill 1949, the Cooperative
Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance and Conventional
Threat Reduction Act, which the two senators had introduced
on 1 November 2005. A Chicago Tribune article explains that
the act (also called the Lugar-Obama legislation) is based
on the 1991 Nunn-Lugar Act, which helped dismantle former
Soviet weapons. [1] A 1 November 2005 release from
Senator Lugar's office states that the scope of the Nunn-
Lugar program was previously expanded by the 1997
Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act, ...
The College Years
Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.
The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.
He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
Political Career
It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.
In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.
In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.
As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.
Also why would Sen. Obama supporters have this secret need to lockup Christain consevatives, for what reason and how would they go about doing such a thing?
Why would you, as a Christain say such a thing about another confessed Christian? Are you feeling lonely?
Now tell me, can you name the current president of the United States?
Why would those who support Sen. Obama and living in a democracy as you Teresa have to be "suckers" as you stated? Suck that's and interesting word, will come back to that word later, now tell me, what are your feelings when I say the word mother? Now I'll say the word father, what's the first thing you think of?
Before you answer that, tell me how has Sen. Obama's promise for change been any different than the promise offered by any other politicians running for the Oval Office?
Does it remind you of religion? Now tell me what is today's date?
Teresa, my dear, all politicians make promises to deliver to their supporters, some deliver on those promises but lets be real, congress has been known to go it's own way. Does that make you feel abandon? or maybe lied too?
Trust Teresa that's an important thing to remmeber.
Now, Teresa I want you to consider your vacuous attacks, espically on liberals, the words you use just have no merit in public discourse.
Now, Teresa look up, look down, then to right and to your left. Now look straght ahead into the light, now close your eyes, now open them, that's a good girl. You're doing real good Teresa, everything is going to be just fine, we'll be finished here shortly.
Frankly Teresa, I expect more, voting for Sen. Obama is not expected with your condition, but to suggest that conservative Chistians would be imprison in America is consevative nonsense, mix with religious notion of martyrdom, simlar to Islamic fanatical idation.
But if you or those of your mindset, or perhaps the vocies telling you, what? Those voices that you hear in your head; believing in such dribble, I'm shocked. Therefore, your irrational fears maybe symptomatic of some underlying psycholgical break with reality. I don't want to frighten you, you understand don't you. Teresa, I said this in all candor its all in your mind and furthermore,would highly recommend that seek further consul with a professional to help you through this condition of liberal paranonia, before you harm youself or others.
This notion of yours, base on the false premise that consevative Chistains have been locked away, imprisoned or that Sen. Obama and his supporters would concive of such a thing is ludicrous.
Now, are you still taking your meds, well Teresa just relax and drink your tea, have a cookie, eveything is O.K. no one will harm you. No my dear Teresa, the black won't rub off on you, just calm down were're all professional here. Your mental health is our concern, nothing else matters, not your race, your relgion, your gender or the fact that you are a republican.
No, no Teresa I don't work for Farrahkan, no he won't take you away to his harem, no neither will Sen. Obama, you know he's a Chistain just like you and they don't believe in harems. Here at the, Institute of Free Your Mind and Your A** Will Follow, we belive in self help, but first you must confront your fears and then let go, relax, let your bowels move, there you go, do be so retentive, just be one, be at peace with nature, just hug the liberal next to you. Don't be afraid, just open your eyes, see you in them your're still here, alive and free and now jut don't it feel so good inside.
Oh, nurse Polosi she not being cooperative, as soon as you get her attention, I'll give her a 20 cc shot of thorazine, that should calm her down. Ahem get that straight-jacket ready, she might continue to struggle.
On tax policy, Obama voted in 2006 against a bill that extends, through 2010, the cuts in capital gains and dividends tax rates enacted by Congress in 2003.
He complained that the bill would "give the wealthiest one-tenth of one percent of all Americans a tax cut that is more than four thousand times larger than most middle-class Americans will get."
He also voted "no" in 2006 on repeal of the tax on inherited wealth, the estate tax, which is scheduled to rise to 55 percent in 2011.
The other side of the fiscal coin is spending. Outlays on rapidly growing entitlement programs, such as Medicare, now account for 44 percent of all federal outlays.
Obama voted against a measure by Sen. John Ensign R-Nev., to require Medicare beneficiaries with annual incomes over $160,000 to pay higher premiums for their prescription drugs in Medicare Part D.
If Obama is elected, Iraq and the future of the nation's military forces there will dominate his presidency.
In June of 2006 Obama voted against a measure offered by Feingold and Kerry that would have required President Bush to withdraw most United States troops from Iraq by July 1, 2007.
Most Democrats joined him in voting "no" as only 13 Democrats (and no Republicans) voted 13 for it.
But in September 20, 2007, Obama was one of 28 Democrats voting for a Feingold measure that ordered Bush to begin withdrawing most U.S. forces from Iraq within 90 days.
'Yes' on Iraq funding cutoff
The bill would have cut off funding for the Iraq deployment by June 30, 2008. Feingold's measure would have allowed U.S. troops to stay in Iraq to "conduct targeted operations, limited in duration and scope, against members of al Qaeda" and other terrorist groups.
No Republican senators voted for the Feingold measure, while 18 Democrats, several of them from battleground states such as Missouri (Sen. Claire McCaskill), Virginia (Sen. Jim Webb), Florida (Sen. Bill Nelson) and Colorado (Salazar) voted against it.
Just two hours before that vote, Obama missed another Senate vote, this one to denounce a full-page New York Times ad run by the anti-war group Moveon.org mocking the U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus as "General Betray Us."
In that legislation, the Senate voted to "condemn any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus" and "to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org."
The measure passed 72 to 25, with 22 Democrats voting for it and 25 Democrats opposing it.
And, again the battleground state Democrats such as McCaskill, Webb, and Salazar voted for the measure.
In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district's influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they're better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.
Now, as Obama runs for president, what two guests recall as an unremarkable gathering on the road to a minor elected office stands as a symbol of how swiftly he has risen from a man in the Hyde Park left to one closing in fast on the Democratic nomination for president.
