"Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's nominee for President, makes an unscheduled appearance Wednesday at Democratic National Convention in Denver," "unscheduled appearance" my you know what, everything this guy does is scripted well in advance! After what has been said about Obama in days leading up to this media/hollywood anointing who can believe anything the Clintons or Biden says now about Obama. They are falling in line like good little disciples of the chosen one! Romney and Huckabee and the other Republicans may have attacked McCain on issues or policies but never once I repeat never once did they ever question his qualifications to be the next President of the United States!

After the convention hysteria, folks had better take a close look at Barack Hussein Obama. Barack is the son of a radical Marxist Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and an atheist mother from Kansas. After his parents divorced, his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a Radical Muslim from Indonesia. Barack attended a Whabi Muslim school in Jakarta where he studied the Koran. Wahabism is the teaching followed by terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the Western world. Obama takes great care to conceal that he is a Muslim and his political handlers try to make it appear that his introduction to Islam was temporary.....Don't buy it. Since it is politically expedient to be "Christian" when seeking a major office in the US, Michelle Obama enrolled her husband in Rev. Wright's United Church of Christ. The Muslims have said that they plan on destroying the US from the inside out. What better way than to get one of their own into the White House?

SDindependent: There is nothing "independent" about you. Nothing I said in my post is untrue. .....You just cannot handle the truth and have to resort to name calling. I suspect that you are the boyfriend of a Welfare recipient and looking for more handouts from a bigger government. For that, you would allow the takeover of the White House by a Marxist and his angry, anti-American wife. Peace on you.

The real Obama. Obama, whose father was a practicing Muslim and whose mother was a radical Marxist, has stated that his mother: "Was the dominant figure in my formative years; and, the values she taught me continue to be my touchstone in the world of politics". Common sense deductive reasoning suggests that Obama's rearing as a child, and his extended 20yr relationships, and obvious conformity, with anti-American fanatics such as Rev. Wright ( the Pastor of his church that promoted the doctrine of Louis Farrakhan and James Cone, the guru of Black Liberation Theology ) ; and, Frank Davis, William Ayers, Gerald Kellman, Bernadette Dohrn, etc., etc., are in fact reflective of Obama's true psychological makeup. A conclusion rigidly re-enforced by Obama's San Francisco commentary denigrating folks from small-town America. Obama's affinity for questionable associates such as Tony Rezco, a convicted felon, raises a myriad of questions. Further, his increasingly frequent petulant responses to legitimate criticism is troubling. This man's initial refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin and to place his hand over his heart on the singing of our National Anthem are conditioned reflexes from his protracted association with disaffected elements in our society; visual images that Obama is certain to attempt to obfuscate in future campaign appearances; even though, he has openly admitted: "I didn't want to offend Muslims and others who don't like America.". Obama is our "home-grown" version of Hugo Chavez. Further, Michelle Obama's angry commentary directed at our country is telling. Fifty-seven (Islamic) State Obama's comments that he would use U.S. Military Forces against Pakistan, a Nation with a sizable nuclear arsenal, and an ally in the war on terror, even without President Musharraf's permission; a Nation that he mistakenly believed to be Arab; his indecision/confusion as to whether Iran poses a serious regional threat; while in other commentary, stating that he would halt the U.S. military's development of advanced weapons systems demonstrates a profound ignorance of the geopolitical threat environment confronting America. His long-term subversive associations, and his immersion in seditious anti-American diatribe have indeed revealed Obama as the real-life Manchurian Candidate. Greg Neubeck

Garland had it right. But he didn't go far enough. Obama may not be a US Citizen at all. He refuses to allow anyone to see his REAL birth certificate, and may have lost his citizenship when his mother re-married and moved to Indonesia where the Soetoros became citizens of that Muslim country. Obama has long ties to the terrorist Bill Ayers, who brought Obama onto the board of the Annenberg Foundation in Chicago and got him made chairman, even though he had no experience, where the two of them oversaw the distribution of over $100 million that disappeared. It is only now being investigated. It was squandered and no one knows where the money really went. The convicted crime boss Tony Rezko helped Obama in a crooked real estate deal that even Obama admits was a "mistake". Rezko has ties to Biden as well. Obama tried to win his first election by getting all the other candidates thrown off the ballot on technicalities. The Democrats have put two of the slimiest, dirtiest, most corrupt old-style politicians on their ticket. There is much, much more. Obama himself admitted one of the biggest leadership questions was "beyond his pay grade", his rivals Clinton and Biden both said he was UNQUALIFIED, he has never articulated what his slogan "Change" means and keeps CHANGING HIS MIND, and it's his judgment that is in question. The biggest decision he has had to make so far, chosing Biden to run on his ticket, has been a compete failure. It totally undermined his image as the candidate for "Change",and instead secured him as the candidate for SAME, SAME, SAME old dirty, old-style Washington insider Politics. O'Same cannot win in November.

China just inked a $ 3 Billion dollar oil deal with Iraq. You're doing a heck of job Bush & Cheney. Imagine the prospects of US troops in Iraq protecting Chinese oil company interests so they can export oil to China. The Cheney energy plan - being adopted by McCain. You neo-cons latch on to exaggerations and indirect connections to Obama. If you're a politician on the national scene, you will have had some contact with just about everyone out there. Guilt by association? Then take a look at Bush......give me a break. I guess we forgot about ENRON and Kenny boy Lay and his close ties to the Bush family - the biggest fraud in American corp. history. Should we continue talking and dig a little bit into tricky Dick Cheney's associations - current and past? McCain will be worse than Bush - if that is even possible.

SD Independent, you are a real fool: you are the putrid one who obviously cannot handle truth. I agree wholeheartedly with Garland. You are blind, blind, blind. You go crawl back into your hole. Living in a hole is probably how you became so blind. Can't handle the truth, boy, can you? YOu'll think so when the B./ Hussein thug starts raising your taxes, fails to pledge the flag or wear the flagpin, hangs out again with Wright, Ayers, and Rezko, allows his anti-american wife to continue to hate America, screws up foreign relations, continues to support the murder of the most innocent among us, and so the list goes. He is no Messiah; he is nothing but what the slanted media has created out of nothing. He's a creep. So there, SD.

Sure, friendlygoldens, you guys on the left hammered Bush for 8 years, now get used to the same coming at your guy. If you can't take the heat don't bother coming into the kitchen. Obama's ties to Rezko and Ayers, and other crooks, are not "guilt by association"---they are his BUSINESS PARTNERS. If you can find a connection with Bush and someone where entered into a deal, go ahead and bring it out, my friend. But remember, O'Same is NOT RUNNING AGAINST BUSH. He is running against an American hero,and crusader AGAINST CORRUPTION and Special Interests. A guy who has tried to clean up government and reform it, so let's make that perfectly clear. O'Same's judgement has been impaired to say the least. At worst, he is as corrupt and dirty as the company he keeps. I would go so far as to say, if O'Same had been in Bush's shoes, he would have gone down with Ken Lay because he would have gotten a house and property from him and pocketed money directly from him just like O'Same did on the Annenberg board.

Obama's a terrible speaker. He is predictable and mechanical. He always starts off each sentence with slow emphasis, and then rushes the ending. He always throws away the ends of his sentences, like a robot. Listen for it. Anyone can "do Obama". He likes to turn his head to the side and mechanically throw away a phrase with a very slight hint of twang. No real, genuine emotion. No driving to the ends of lines passionately making his point. He is studied and by rote, no surprises, no look of connection in his eyes---just a cynical eye scanning the crowd to see how well his BS is manipulating them. It's sad. Very sad to see peope falling for this.

What branch of Government has the responsibility, authority or obligation to check out this birth certificate issue. Is everyone and especially the MSM afraid of this? It could be huge!

If the majority of the country wants to keep Roe v. Wade (in some form) then that's what will happen. Here in America we have something called "Majority Rule". If that's what they want, that's what they get. If McCain becomes president he will not overrule the majority. He is one man. The majority is the majority, and they vote, and their representatives vote. And the press is on their side too. So, though McCain may get some headway on limiting abortion, which is also supported by the majority, then that may happen. These scare tactics won't work.

I am a democrat, hispanic, go to obamacrimes.com that is why I will never vote for obama We need someone that no mater what will put our country first. We need a MAVERICK that is MCCAIN. Obama is always running away from his past, tryng to hide his bone on the ground. If he cannot be honest and sincere how does he expect to be our President. Tell us about your lost years starting in 1999.I know you won't and that is why you will not get my vote. Every vote counts and a hispanic vote could get you in but you personally have not ask for it, you want someone else to hand it to you like it was a signature in a petition. This position that you are applying for is above that paygrade, maybe if you were applying for a Senator that would work, you know how that works. And what is this I hear about your half sister's birth certificate? VOTE FOR A MAVERICK VOTE MCCAIN.

Anyone wanting to know more about this frightening candidate and his relationship with Bill Ayers needs to go to this article from Investors Business Daily at: http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=304729375940845&src=ADARTCL If this article doesn't scare the crap out of you about Obama, nothing will. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.
