Obama. THE BIG LIE.

It's quite amazing that Obama tries to present himself as anti-elitist and yet does things like this. He not only wants to be the U.S. President, he wants to be the world's president.

What was it that Ayers saw in this man? Who was it that fronted the money for this man? Here was a mixed race young man, raised among Islamic and Marxist leaning advisors who was an admitted school dodging drug taking young man (whose high school grades don't seem to exist),and who was easily granted admission to Harvard and then found a job as a 'community organizer" that paid enough that he could buy a nearly $2 MILLION first home in Chicago? He is surrounded by people with scurilous credentials and pasts and radical ideas...Ayers, Khalid, Rezko, Flager, cWright and on and on and on. It cost $700,000 to stage Berlin...what has it cost and who has been the sugar daddy behind the creation and staging of Barrack Hussein Obama--the messiah who will "stop climate change" and introduce a new era of CHANGE for Europe, America?

Yep and McCain used wife's jet.. so what is the issue...or should we discuss whom has most homes etc. Seems a lot of desperation and mindless dribble coming from the Right now days.. pure panic and fear. amusing stuff when one considers the R and Swiftboaters etc and the R attack's on McCain by Bush-Rove not that far back.. Yep amusing stuff that seems to max the stupid scale.. seems there is panic in the R ranks, so to speak. But let's face the reality. The R party did not want to win this one and sent Johnny M out to loose it. Proof, well the Rove class efforts by, like them or not, was NOT there for McCain. nor were the super stars sent out, as R do not want them endangered.. The mad race to spend coming out of DC now is just a set up to assure Obama will have nearly impossible task.. so a win by R's is not what they want. Wake up neo's the GOP sold out Y-O-U.. and John. and it shows..

Ok this is crazy. I know someone who owns an audio visual rental company, and he said that if someone gave him $100,000 to provide the audio visual for that speech (sound, lights, staging) he would have been very happy, and there is no way it should be $700,000. This smells very fishy.

The bottom line is Obama is taking tens of millions in ILLEGAL contributions and its going to come back to haunt him. If you lib clowns think that if Obama wins the R's are going to go away quietly, you are smoking crack. This is going to be the most litigated presidency in history because Obama is breaking laws to get elected, and we still don't have a birth certificate proving he can even run. Nobody from his high school or college days has stepped up to vouch for him. No school records, copies of thesis, nothing. He hangs out with Ayers in MANY different cases, and Ayers dedicated his book to the guy that killed Robert Kennedy. What kind of judgement is that? I appreciate my liberal friends and their hearts are in the right place, but my god, this is the most important job in the world. McCain served his country longer as a POW than Obama has in national service, and Obama spent more time running for office than sitting in it. I would elect Martin Sheen for Prez before Obama, as he has more experience pretending to be a public servant than Obama has.. because thats all he has been doing.. pretending. He is a TOOL being used by the Move-on.org crowd, and you are all being used.

This was a $700,000 event that was more important to Mr. Obama then visiting our injured soldiers recovering in Germany. Mr. Obama admires China and their infrastructure. What Mr. Obama has in common with China is its mastery in creating illusions. My friend adopted a baby from China she told me that the building looked like a majestic beautiful palace, which a young mother, contemplating giving up her baby daughter, might think would be a place where her daughter would be well cared for. They leave their babies on the steps, but beyond the very thin facade is a deteriorating reality, that is a stark contrast to what they portray. I am outraged that this man would seek to create this spectacle on the backs of our service men and women. Obama is encouraging workers to go to their employers and ask for the day off for the election. Michigan voters wake up, don't you remember the last time when the unions gave everyone the day off and then after the election the pink slips were issued that Friday. You were sold out by your unions. They didn't tell you the layoffs were coming and, instead they got a day off for you that Tuesday so you could vote for their candidates. Stand up and fight for our country and ourselves. Our demorcracy is NOT for sale.

That isn't shocking to me, not at all. We know the socialist illuminati will spend, spend, spend without thinking.
