Obama’s South Carolina victory speech:

“We’re up against the belief that it’s all right for lobbyists to dominate our government, that they are just part of the system in Washington. But we know that the undue influence of lobbyists is part of the problem, and this election is our chance to say that we are not going to let them stand in our way anymore.”

But in the autumn of 2006, there was a chance to take a step in the right direction: Senate Amendment No. 4882, an amendment to a Pentagon appropriations bill that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.

Senator Obama of Illinois voted IN FAVOR of the ban.

Senator Clinton of New York voted AGAINST the ban.

IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon

“What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs,” the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war.”

The Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee, David A. Harris, puts to the lie the nasty bit of propaganda by US “Left” Zionists who downplay the role of the Jewish Lobby in securing whole-hearted US White House and Congressional support for Israel’s destruction of Lebanon. . . . “In the recent conflict with Hezbollah, once again the United States demonstrated its willingness to stand by Israel, provide vital support and withstand the pressure of many US allies who would have wished for an earlier end to the fighting even if it meant keeping Hezbollah largely intact and in place . . . Whatever the primary factor, there can be no doubt that American Jewry is an essential element of the equation (yoking the US to Israel). This is all the more reason why American Jewry need to work day in and day out to ensure that the mutually beneficial link [sic] goes from strength to strength.” (Jerusalem Post, August 25, 2006)

LD quote:  “MR. Obama spends more time working his gums,telling us how he would have voted on the war, had he been a senator, then doing the work he was elected to do. We don’t need the next president trying to out do Bush on ‘most time spent vacationing away from the White House.”

Half of the presidential candidates were senators.

Obama opposed the war from the beginning, even though voting for it initially despite verbally opposing it.  He is one of the few with the guts to have voted against further funding of the war.

My problem with Obama is the same as with all of the other candidates except Ron Paul,who is more evangelical than Shrub, is that all of them have been bought or blackmailed by AIPAC, and continue to show support for Israels terrorist and apartheid policies and actions.

Nothing’s been said in the last 30 years that hasn’t been said before.  An interesting thing about Obama’s messages is that they hit home and are copied by all the other candidates. He’s already leading the leaders.

The fact is when the media constantly diminishes your campaign as a fight for minority votes, when you’re running against a huge establishment candidate and no one expected you to be anything but an Uncle Tom candidate.... you’re always the underdog.

He’s just the Rocky Balboa underdog. Hillary is totally Apallo Creed.

Oprah is responsible for the money Obama is collecting.

I have watched Obama flit from one talk show to another. Watched him run around the country from the beging as though he were some famous actor. How does a Jr. Senator accomplish the people’s work when he’s never at a desk.

MR. Obama spends more time working his gums,telling us how he would have voted on the war, had he been a senator, then doing the work he was elected to do. We don’t need the next president trying to out do Bush on ‘most time spent vacationing away from the White House.’

Yes, Oprah will see that the ‘very green, junior senator’ has all the money he needs.
After all Oprah’s new mantra is “Our time has come.”
