Sen. Geller supports Obama

Sen. Steve Geller who had been an uncommitted super-delegate announced he's supporting Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday. Geller had previously told Buzz he didn't plan to endorse anyone while his lawsuit to seat delegates at Democratic National Convention was still ongoing. That lawsuit remains, but Geller says it's time, now that the primary season is over.

"Senator Obama had nothing to do with Florida losing all or a portion of its votes to the Convention. I am confident that we will ultimately get all of Florida's votes restored, and present a unified face in support of Senator Obama's Presidential campaign," Geller said.

I am a VHCM member, I spent 12 months in Vietnam (147th CH47-CE) as most of
us did. I am also a disabled veteran; I have been a wheelchair user for 35 years now. A few months ago I went to listen to Barack Obama at a local college. When he was done with his speech I got in line to ask him a question. When my time came, my question was:

"Senator Obama; I work with disabled veterans throughout the VA Hospital system, what is your plan for our veterans, especially our disabled veterans who use the VA Hospitals for their care. I stated we need mandatory funding for our VA system to ensure the care is available when needed, especially in light of the current situation in Iraq and the numbers of troops who are coming home with severe disabilities."

He told one of his aide's to get my name, blew me off, did not answer my question and I never heard from him or the aide again. Is this who we want as our "Commander in Chief"?

He wouldn't even answer a "veterans" question, regarding other veterans.

Take it for what it's worth...just thought I'd pass on my experience with Mr. Obama.

So, Mud... I'm guessing you're really happy with what Dubya, Dickey, and McSame have done for you over the past 8-years?

Who will you be tomorrow, a little lost girl who lost her sheep?

4:12 at least he didn't call you "Sweetie"! Has Barry ever stepped a foot inside a VA hospital?

I thought he was an uncommitted delegate and not an uncommitted 'super'delegate.

It’s becoming increasingly clear what the Democratic campaign strategy is going to be this election season: Vote for Obama or you’re a racist.

When I vote against Obama on November 4, 2008:

•It won’t be because Obama wants to withdraw from Iraq, which I think will weaken America’s interests beyond repair, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama thinks that a nuclear Iran is no threat to the Western World, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because I think it’s an incredibly stupid idea for the most powerful nation in the world to approach evil totalitarian dictators as a supplicant, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because I hate the idea of a President who will subordinate America’s interests to the UN (as he inevitably will), it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama has the thinnest resume ever in the history of Presidential candidates, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because I think Obama’s Leftist connections (Ayres, Dohrn, Soros, Pfleger, Wright, etc.) show him to be either stupid about or complicit with an agenda antithetical to basic American values, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama consistently chooses as advisers people who have opted for the wrong side in the completely binary debate about Israel’s right to exist, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama wants to socialize American medicine, which I believe will destroy the high quality of medical care available to most Americans, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama wants to gut the military and reduce us to a nation with a big target painted on our collective backside, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama wants to gut the Second Amendment and destroy Americans’ Constitutional right to protect themselves from foreign and domestic enemies, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama has already announced loud and clear that he will support activist judges who place their “feelings” above the law, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama supports judicial decisions creating a right to gay marriage, when I think that decision is one for the voters, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s announced that he will dramatically increase taxes, putting the slow, inflexible, ill-informed government in charge of what should be a quick-reacting, knowledgeable marketplace, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s record in the Senate (albeit short and undistinguished) has been so liberal he makes Teddy Kennedy look like a reactionary, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s an open-borders kind of guy, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama has shown himself to be a scarily slow thinker and speaker when released from the teleprompter (which really doesn’t bode well for those cozy private chats with Ahmadinejad, Jong-Il, and Assad), it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s wife clearly loathes America and everything it stands for, despite the fact that she’s done pretty well out of it, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama was affiliated for more than 20 years with a church that preached white hatred and began to care only when it looked as if it would affect his campaign, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama was good buddies with Tony Rezko, and other sleazy characters (showing again that Obama was complicit or a singularly bad judgment of character), it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s a compulsive liar who clearly thinks we in the public are too stupid to catch up with his lies, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s campaign has proven to be fly-paper for every two bit troofer and anti-Semite in America, it will be because I’m a racist.
•It won’t be because Obama’s promised already to start down the totalitarian path of purging his predecessors through criminal prosecutions, it will be because I’m a racist.

All things considered, when I think about being a racist as I’ve defined it, not as they have, let me say it loud and let me say it proud: I am a racist — and, on November 4, 2008, this racist is not voting for Obama.

Join the crowd. There are many of us. The silent majority will sit and let all the Obamabots blow off steam about all the racists. Then we'll all go to the polls on Election Day and deliver that fatal blow.

I'm proud of my white heritage also. If the blacks can be proud so can we. And I've been proud of my country my entire life.

McCain Supports Bush...what a surprise.

No he doesn't--get your facts straight. Just repeating the same message ain't gonna cut it with the majority of voters who know better. If that's all you got to offer--your Messiah is in big time trouble!

Remember the election in 2006? America voted for change in 2006 and we got it! An important fact, Congress makes law NOT the President; he has to work with what's handed to him. When the Democrats took over control of our Congress:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democrat-controlled Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value
evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion
dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

Solution: Several Democrats and Obama are proposing a return to the economic policies of the Carter administration. When Jimmy was given the heave-ho, the Misery Index, an index combining rates of inflation and unemployment, was at an all time high of 21.98% -- up from 13.5% when he was elected in 1976. After his last full year as president, inflation was at 13.5% and unemployment at 7.2%. Today the Misery Index is at 9.1%, though the Democrats have not a nice thing to say about Jimmy's Republican successors. In Jimmy's day the prime rate moved from 7% to 20%, and the home mortgage rate was almost 18%.

Think about these figures this autumn when we are asked to choose a new President.

Steve Geller is definitely not someone that the Obama campaign want as an endorser.

Geller was one of the democrats that was supporting local government's drunken spending at FL property taxpayer's expense.

Obama is the black Jimmy Carter.

I'm not forgetting either.

JOHN MCCAIN IN 2008!

A muslim radical? Yes, I think so!!!

Democratic led Congress under Nancy Pelosi has reached an all-time low approval rating that is even much lower than Pres. Bush.
They have led the country into high oil prices.

VOTE OUT ALL DEMOCRATS!

Abysmal 13% approval rating for democratic-led Congress:
