Obama sister woos women

Maya TAMPA — Maya Soetoro-Ng leaves no doubt she's a proud kid sister.
But hers isn't just any brother.

Thursday evening at Mise En Place restaurant, she was on a mission to reveal the softer side of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, to help him woo women voters, especially those who have expressed bitter resentment over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's defeat in the long primary fight.

She says he's a feminist, who bought her the first women's health/sex ed book she ever read, Our Bodies, Ourselves. And he helped her "figure out which boys to discard." Read it here.

Comments

SO WHAT???? GIVE US SOME REAL NEWS ON HERE. HOW ABOUT A REPLAY OF ONE OF REV. WRIGHT'S SERMONS? NOW THAT WOULD TELL US MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN HIS HALF SISTER.

Jib and Jab show Obama's girlie side. They have more credibility that his half sister.

what's the matter, rethuglicans? can't handle a smart, articulate woman speaking out about her brother -- a man with a real vision for our broken country, versus more of mcsame, an old guy with, well, nothing much, apparently.

This is the youd lady whose Dad tool Barack to Moslem services?

11:40:
Didn't you get the Messiah's thank you letter??

My fellow Americans:

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.

And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember, don't think, just do. And do it for me.


Thank You.


Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

Ha! She got her teeth fixed! Barry probably told her what guys think about gap-toothed women, and if she wanted to be the great uniter of the Asian Americans she better get that gap closed.

11:48 Son you have way too much time on your hands. Please do us a favor and get a life. I'm not Dem or Rep. but gosh damn you Rep. need to get a new line of bull. Even if I did agree with the Rep. I would get so sick of the closed minded repetitive jargon day after day, after day. My god get over yourselves. OK we get it you know more than anyone and nothing anyone else says is right. you Monday morning quarterback Politicians are right on the money. OK, OK we get it now shut the help up. If you want to have a proper conversation on the issues that's cool, but damn give it a rest already.

Maya spoke wonderfully last night. She gave us a real insight to the next President of the United States. She exemplified that Senator Obama is a man who is not afraid of strong, intelligent women.

Their grandmother worked hard to support the troops during WWII while her husband was protecting this nation. Senator Obama and Maya both have strong women, their grandmother and mother, to thank for pushing them to do their best, be their best and have both grown to be responsible, caring, smart adults.

Ladies, isn't it time to have a President who respects you and what you are capable of?

I support Senator Obama and know that under his leadership, my rights as a woman, as a citizen, will be respected and fought for.

What I have come to find out about these blogs it is people like 11:48 that post here. Not the normal, sane people in the country but the extremist. I have faith in the American people to do the right thing.

Obama'08

McCain '08

Here's Maya at yesterday's event - a beautiful woman - inside and out! I had no idea of the extensive economic platitudes their mother played around the world.

Isn't this country wonderful, that citizens in this nation can have such a great impact on the world?!

I'm proud to be an American and I am now inclined to make my own impact on the world. Thank you Maya for sharing a bit of your family with us yesterday! You, your grandmother, your mother and of course, your brother have inspired me to become a more active person!

a big shout out to the videographer for the video!

yeah MCCAIN 08'
1908!

Did she tell everyone that her brother Barry sees nothing wrong with late term abortions. He even voted to kill a bill that would require doctors to provide care for babies that survive an abortion and are viable.

Too bad that the mothers of all those "choice" proponents didn't believe in it themselves.

Erica,
I understand totally with what you’re saying and agree that such practices are awful. On the other hand that is what his step-sisters brother thinks. We could also say that the black guy down the road hates white, does that mean Obama hates them to just because he’s black? If you dig deep enough you will find bad in both the candidates, I mean could we say that McCain’s daughter had a problem child life because her mother was a waste? Just trust in your heart, and don’t listen to Fox, CNN, and Rush. I promise you will never find someone that agrees with everything you believe in, and try not to get hung up on one issue. It was that same issue that got bush in for a second term, and now look at our country. Put your good human nature to the test and it should lead you in the right direction.

What a gooey puff piece. This is not journalism, it is hack puffery. This article should have gone in the advertising section. Shame on you editors killing trees for this garbage.

McAiNUS!! McAiNUS!! McAiNUS!!

not a DRUNK,nearly as senile as
ray-gun!!

McAiNUS!! McAiNUS!! McAiNUS!!

You silly women! You went to a political rally and heard a soap opera about what a great man Barry is. She pulled that Alinsky crap on you and you swallowed the hook. Yes, his mom had many lovers of many races. I bet she had a map with pins inserted into the countries she conquered! His grandmother worked during WWII? Truly shocking considering her husband was off fighting a war! Where did she find the patriotism to actually work back then? What did she say about her father? Where any questions asked about him?
If you really want a warm-hearted story about being truly patriotic, I suggest you read this:

http://www.azcentral.com/news/specials/mccain/articles/0301mccainbio-chapter3.html

Donald - you seem fearful of intelligent women.

Are you more like David Vitter? Do you much more prefer a strong, hard spanking woman to bring you joy? Do you too like diapers? Or rattles? Or pacifiers?

Sybil, after months of fighting Barry moths, your post is harmless. Where you there Sybil? Did you swallow the Alinsky hook also? I don't fear women, I fear socialism! Barry worked over his own sister with that Alinsky crap(you can read the story above and she will admit it), and now he is trying to work over the voting population with his socialist agenda by adding a dash of Alinsky into what he says. But the fact of the matter is she didn't say a thing other than "He's my big brother and he loves women". Get your head out of the sand Sybil and breathe some air before Barry taxes you on that as well.

Obama = Bush = More of the same.

NADER = CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!

Barry loves women alright. Just ask Hillary's female supporters how much. That's why a slew of them are not going to vote for him. Obama has a problem with two groups: (1) females and (2) white men. Other than that he has no issues to fight to get elected. Once people mark that ballot in private, all the pollsters and Obama bloggers can forget it.

Dear MR. I know everything republican Donald,

I can tell you how a woman can contribute to WWII you jerk off, just like my grandmother did. she worked for a manufacturing company in Indiana making war plane parts, and after the war it became Whirlpool from where she retired. See if you would brush up a little on your history and turn off Rush you would know that in those days woman were the back bone of our country. They did everything from working to taking care of the kids to political rally's. They were what you are not .... hard workers, tirelessly covering our country while there husband were at war. If it wasn't for these woman keeping our industries all the way down to baseball going, there would have not been any jobs for the soldier to come back to. You and all you Monday morning quarterback wannabe Politician don't have GD clue about what is really going on. You sit there and want to make accusations and express your opinion on subject matter that you know nothing about. You have to scan the Internet and try to find what the next person is saying so you can try and sound intelligent on the issues. You don't know s@#t and your point on 3:41 was completely stupid and obviously written by a half witted twit. Turn off your computer and turn on Rush (your going to any way), your a waste of space, please stop breathing I would hate to think I might breath the same air that you let out.

Raymond,

My Mom worked in a factory during WW II. However, that is no reason to get worked up about the female issue of Obama's half sister. You, me or no one really knows anything about her or her relationship with her half brother. This is an election--do you think Obama is going to trot her out to throw negatives at him.

Look at Hillary. If it hadn't been for the anti-women stategy of Obama she would be running against McCain today. Frankly, with a much more comfortable lead at this stage than Obama.

Lighten up man, get some anger management and enjoy the fact that women can make it today! Enjoy a baseball game and stop looking at the ridiculous stuff on here. It will make you lose your mind quicker than constant jerking off!!!

Hillary supporters going to John McCain:

McCain in 08'/Hillary in 12'

7:16
first of all I was speaking to Donald. Second I didn't get worked up over " female issues from Obama’s sister", I got worked up over an idiot making comments about something he knew nothing about, ( till he found an article somewhere). Third Do you really think I'm going to back you on that assnine comment about Hillary? You really think Obama was the one that caused her to lose? I mean all we need is a female version of Bush in the office. she should have ran as a Rep... let me give you a little clue. I was actually going to vote for her, right up until she opened her mouth. You Hillary nuts have really got to get a grip. The only person that helped Hillary loose, was Hillary and her mouth, and her I don't have to do anything I'll just slide right into the spot attitude. OH! that’s right...NO it was Obama...Then why are you speaking to someone that liked the thought and the idea of her in office, and then quickly changed his mind when she opened her mouth? I don't know? Obama must have hypnotized me...Ya that works just fine. Finally don't tell me to lighten up, that’s right it is an election and look at what happened that last time the Rep. and the pro choice won an election. Have you stopped long enough from your retirement to take a long look around, to see what’s going on? people are going broke, they can't afford to go to work.......let me repeat that PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO GO TO WORK.... OH, that’s right it's just an election. well let me say this to you, if you are so stable that this is “just an Election" then maybe you should take a long look at yourself and ask yourself when did I lose touch. There is one thing I come to realize, there are only two reasons someone would have voted for Hillary. One, because they were female and could care less about the fact she was a female Bush ( only caring about Money and how much she can get). Second, are the people that are stable enough to make comments like “ it’s just an election” and probably wouldn’t feel the effects of her damage they are people I like to call the Rep. Dem.. BRO you have really lost touch with the real world.

Raymond, you are a silly man who should take the advice of the post below yours. You are turning into Flagophile because you cannot see the sarcasm in my post, yet you lob cursives like they are going out of style. You know nothing about me because you are a johnny-come-lately, so all you did was waste your time trying to insult me. But to pacify your feministic state-of-mind, let me say that I was simply stating that most women in WWII worked while the men were fighting. Why would the Obama decendants be any different. Is that patriotism to support your family by working while the man is fighting a war? Hardly! That was my point and I'm sorry you are so in touch with your feminine side that you cannot see the sarcasm. One more thing: criticize the post and not the poster. You'll have greater life-expectancy in here. Ask Flag!

Donald - you seem fearful of intelligent women.

Are you more like David Vitter? Do you much more prefer a strong, hard spanking woman to bring you joy? Do you too like diapers? Or rattles? Or pacifiers?

Flagophile…..nice did you get that from Rush. I know nothing about you??? Are you so arrogant that you seem to think you are someone “here” that I would care to know? Are you so proud of yourself that you really think that you are someone or have some sort of status? You see that’s what I hate about people like you everything has to be a slogan or a cliché Flagophile, Feministic, Obama Descendants, you sound like a broken Republican radio talk show host. Now let’s put you back in your place once again. If you would notice my posts before yours I do believe that I was quite nice and pleasant, well spoken and thought out, even if I do say so myself. I didn’t lose it till a pot stirring uneducated, can’t think for himself person got on here and told a woman that working during WWII wasn’t Patriotic. Read what I said again or open a history book. Bottom line is have you for one second thought of the time and era you are talking about? It was far and few between that woman were in the work place meaning Industries, assembly lines, blue collar jobs. They were asked by the government to “ DO THERE PATREOTIC DUTIE” and keep these jobs going, because there was no one else to do them. My god dude read some history, talk to a senior citizen, get schooled please. O that’s right you would rather make sarcastic remarks with no reproductions for your actions. Why for one second would you not want me to attack the poster? That would be the person that put illogical comments on here. You would actually have to put on an intelligent post for someone to criticize the post, in your case you are just an idiot. You know what your right I shouldn’t insult you, because you are making yourself look like an idiot all on your own. One last note I think I will look at the advice below mine and sybil you are so right……

Vote for McCain for 4 more years of George Bush's terrible policies.

Vote for Obama for Change.

Obama = Bush = More of the same!

Nader = Change we can believe in!

Good video 10:58:

This is the kind of stuff Raymond and his Kool Aid drinking Obama lovers want America to turn its head to.

Raymond seems to have a real problem with "disagreement". But that's a fatal flaw many liberals have. The whole lot of them are worse than any of the right wing nuts I know. Too bad!!

Sybil,

If you were an intelligent women there would be no fear. What most bloggers fear are arrogant and ignorant females and men. You and Raymond should team up and sign up for some IQ improvement training. That should start with reading Obama's platform and then a review of the Communist Manifesto.

Vote for McCain for a repeal of Roe vs. Wade.
Lets Lessen females rights and keep them in the kitchen where they belong.

Vote for Obama to kill new born babies!! That's his policy! OBAMA, THE BABY KILLER.

Please vote for him!!

11:01 thank you, you just solidified my analogy that all you republicans can’t do anything but come up with catch phrases to make yourselves seem more in tune with your stand. O you want videos? Well when I get a chance I’ll put a bunch on about Mc Cain, But then you’re going to come on here and say there wrong or bias, or taken out of context . you’re willing to believe everything you here? You are probably the person that was saying that Ferinhight 911 misconstrued the facts, or was made up…It’s the democrats, they are trying to make us look bad. Its fact when the Republicans do it? Right? And as far as your post to Sybil we are sorry that you lost your job to an educated woman. Unfortunately she could probably make fries better than you. You want to talk about communist manifesto’s why don’t you ask why your precious Bush gave himself dictatorship authority. Also why don’t you ask why the Bush clan has broken just about every governing law there is, to protect their dictatorship authority. I do believe one other leader followed the same pattern and worked towards the same outcome…..His name was Hitler….maybe you heard of him? Once again look in your history books, or if you can’t maybe ask Sybil if she would be nice enough to refer you to the local library and lead you to the children’s section. Just maybe she can find you a nice picture book that can help you understand history. But, Hey McCain said it will be more of the same. Now if you would like to get into an educated discussion post something worth talking about.

Let's talk about Obama's minister of 20 years, his racist baiting of Hillary, his "great" work with the Chicago poor people and his communist leaning and terrorist friends who are influencing his campaign, his going back on his word about campaign finance, etc.......

Of course, you Obamabots don't like to hear all of that. After all we aren't supposed to discuss any of these things when considering the character of the Messiah to hold office!! You are all a bunch of wackos who have been fed a line a mile long. End of discussion. I'll talk with my vote and it won't be for a racist, female-hating, arrogant twit, from the bowels of the political sewer of Chicago! Have a nice Saturday, Raymond!

Obama the Baby Killer and the hater of our Soldiers!!

VOTE FOR RALPH NADER---A TRUE AMERICAN LEADER

Raymond,Raymond,Raymond! Put your fuzzy blue suit back on and go entertain some ball fans. Are you Sybil's husband? Let me first say that you are going off on a tirade about the wrong thing. I thought I was clear before, but you apparantly have some grudge you are carrying since WWII. Let it go!
I was not alive during WWII so I don't have first-hand experience. But I am well read and know an immense amount of info about 20th century history including WWII. Ah forget it Fuzzy Wuzzy! It isn't worth my time to hammer my point into your blue head. Stick to fan entertainment and give up your omnipotent quest. The more you post the more it appears you are a curmudgeon. What do blue mascots know about women in history anyway? Good Lizzuck with your berating. I hope it takes you far!

Yo, Raymond....Obama is sounding and acting more and more like George W everyday! He lied about taking campaign money, flips positions to suit his needs, wants to stifle any debate about his qualifications as being racial, has an arrogant, thin-skinned approach to ANY criticism. Sounds a lot like Hitler/Bush to me. Not what I want in a leader. If I want more of the same old Mac will give us that. And it looks like no matter who we pick it going to be 4 more years of the same. I'll wait it out for Hillary in 2012 after one of the two current idiots running is selected and totally screws up the U.S. We get a Carter or a Bush no matter what---a sad ending to an Election.

Blah, blah, blah just more anagrams and still not making a point. Donald if you could, please try and make a point. All you have said is Rush quotes and a stupid comment about something you obviously don’t know anything about, because if you knew a lot I’m sorry an “ immense” amount about the subject you would have never in your right mind said what you did. Please by all means if you would like to make a real case based on your extensive knowledge of the 20TH century on how woman were not patriotic for supporting the economy at that time I would love to hash it out……but you won’t you’ll say something about Kool aid or fuzzies or some BS comment. That’s all you republicans are good for, your like the Bob Hope of politics, always quick with a one liner, but not much on the real issues.

Big Blue! No happy pills? Try to follow along since you want me to pound this into your blue head. I was saying that if women didn't go to work while their men were overseas, they would starve! So is it patriotism that made them work or was it TCOB? Patriotism doesn't put food on the table, therefore - try to follow along now - it must have been TCOB! My big blue! How the omnipotent have dumbed down.
For the record, I'm not Republican nor do I listen to Rush. Everybody here knows that but you, so I'll say Welcome aboard!

12:50 I don’t know bro, I can’t say I agree with everything. I do remember the controversy on the money issue, and I do remember that it was discussed but I really don’t remember the specifics, I do remember that it really boiled down to inturpatation of his statement. But, would have to admit that it was really not much of an issue for me. I’m mean If we really want to get into brass tax Hillary still won’t give up her mandatory income tax statement. heck Obama is having to pay off Hillary’s campaign debt just so she would bow out. Bottom line is they all are trying to get money. As far as the flip flop, I chalk it up on both side that there are some issues that perhaps they were not very well educated on, and now see the error in their ways. I think it takes a true man to admit he was wrong. As far as his qualifications we have to look at the three of them. McCain what does he really say? Every conversation, every debate, every subject matter he discusses is always twisted into I was a POW and I was in the military, because that is was he hoping to win on. Hillary was hoping to win on name recognition Granted she was the wife to a president but that doesn’t make her qualified. According to Donald’s analogy just because you were there and going through the paces does not qualify you to have really done anything. Now Obama yes he is young and yes he fairly new to the whole seen, But really he doesn’t have any less qualifications than Hillary. I tend to think of the controversy over another young Senator that was scoffed at and was also told he didn’t know enough or had enough history to be a President. His name was John F. Kennedy. I truly believe that because of the fact that Obama was not a legacy at his collage and had to earn what he got and the fact that he is not 4 generations removed from real normal people that he might do some real good. We have had so many years of legacy and carrier politicians that I think it’s about time we do try something new. Look at the state our country is in now. This was done by Carrier Dem and Rep. and is the sole reason I am going to roll the dice. About the racial thing, try and put yourself in his shoes. If you ( meaning Obama ) had any integrity you would want to win on principals and not because of your skin. I think that ( in the best way I can being white ) I can understand that people keep trying to make an issue about all the racial stuff, but in fact he wants to win on merit, if you keep getting side tracked on these issues, and now matter what you do you keep getting this thrown in your face and not getting your core points down, I think we would all get a little thin skinned on that subject, wouldn’t you tend to agree on that point? I agree that no matter what it’s a crap shoot, but please don’t throw away your god given right to vote. Study them both, like I said before on the other post, don’t listen to what a lot of people are saying, you seem to have a good head. Use it and try and come up with the lesser of two evils that you tend to agree with on the issues. We seem now days to get so side tracked on dumb issues and political smearing ( Donald ) that we don’t really concentrate on what really matters. If we only knew what was pulled over our eyes while we wasn’t looking, and getting caught up in dumb controversies. To all sorry this was so long.

Donald Donald More blah blah’s? ok I guess if I’m going to talk to a child I will have to play your school yard game. Wow!! You must work for Disney, You must be Donald Duck because you are truly a quack. So Quack we all know what you were trying to say, and for the record that is not what you wrote, you were talking as if you were on that idiot Bob Rome show. A little hint real people make their points legibly. now let me pound it into your head quack because obviously with the addition to being an idiot, you can’t read as well. I clearly stated that they were asked to do men’s work, they were also asked after work to collect metal a lot of times giving up precious heirlooms in their homes, they were also asked that with their extra wages to donate and by bond to support the war ( which they did ). They did all of this and kept up their homes and children and helped with homework. O and let’s not forget that all this time they were worried about their husbands in combat. LOL but then again you knew that because you have such a plethora of knowledge on the subject. Sorry pal don’t see the Plethora yet. I would love for you to go and tell a senior that was there that she was not patriotic for what they did in those days. Then I would love to watch her slap the taste out of your mouth. Sorry I forgot was supposed to be writing the children’s version and call you names, so here’s one more quack for you. Quack..

Big Blue, try to be more like Bob Hope! I have brought to the attention of everybody here several issues that are pertinent going forward. Have you bothered to read about the Global Poverty Act, or did the facts get in your way of reasoning? To vote for the lesser of 2 evils is the worst thing you could ever do! You're turning the campaign into American idol if you do that.
I see you didn't comment on my post where I had to pound it into your head what I was saying. Do you have clarity now or are you still blinded by that grudge you've been carrying for 60+ years that prevents you from understanding what the meaning of text is? Your post is as long as a 9 inning game Fuzzy! Be more like Bob Hope.

GO HILLARY!!

DONALD HATES WOMEN--GUESS HE WAS DUMPED BY ONE AND THAT HAS HIM SO TURNED OFF ON AGGRESSIVE WOMEN LIKE HILLARY. HIS TYPE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE LIBERAL SECT--ALL TALK AND NO ACTION. TALK, TALK , TALK..... THAT'S ALL WE HEAR FROM HIM ON THIS BLOG AND NO POINTS AT ALL ABOUT ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE TO THE CAMPAIGN. HE PLAYS THAT OLD LIBERAL TRICK OF 'REVERSING' CONVERSATION WHEN HE IS UNCOMFORTABLE. I CAN TELL HE HAS A VERY DEEP DOWN HATRED OF WOMEN THAT HE IS USING THIS BLOG TO COVER UP. EITHER HE WAS DUMPED OR LOST HIS JOB TO ONE. A PATHETIC CREATURE OF THE BLUE PARTY---BUT THERE ARE MANY LIKE HIM.

Doc....Raymond is one of those John Edwards--girlie men--type in the Dem Party who detests strong women like Hill. She has bigger balls then they do and it just gets to them. Yes, there are many like him. I'm a Republican and I'd vote for Hill any day of the week over that wuss Obambi. Hill just frightens the h... out of the Blue Raymonds.

Quack I will make comments with you when you have something to say. I don't know about the Hillary stuff, but I think DOC has you pegged.

Doc....weren't you really talking about Raymond not Donald?

Donald seems so into the female rights thing. raymond is trying to "cover' it all.

No matter, my comments are toward what I've seen posted about Ray.

2:55 another that can't read I'm not Dem or Rep. Please read before making a comments. but once a again another Rep. who knows everything about everything, when they know nothing. good job.

WHOOPS---MY BAD!

YES, IT IS RAYMON I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT'S SO CONFUSING WITH ALL THE STUFF BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

THANKS FOR CORRECTING ME. AS A 67 YEAR OLD RETIRED DOCTOR--I DO MISS THINGS AT TIMES!

no doc you truly had it right the first time.

good job

Raymond you dumb@$s, you can't even copy right.

Big Blue. These are posts and not American novels! You get in, make your point, get out! Nobody likes to read diatribes so be more like Bob Hope and keep it under 500 words if you can. Abe Lincoln was a man of few words and you should try to emulate his M.O. You clearly stated none of the above. Read your post! Yes, I know what transpired on the home front, but you left out victory gardens that they had to keep as well. Maybe you should have made your post longer by including that. I mean, you are the authority here, right? So go take a happy pill, read up some more on bra burning, and try to post something direct and without cussing at people. You'll feel all fuzzy inside (or outside) if you do that. Go Rays!

Haven’t any of you folks noticed how old Raymond when he first came on here making comments sounded just like a typical die-hard Democrat? However, as soon as Donald and others backed Raymond into a corner with good reasons not to vote for Obama, he suddenly tells us he’s a member of neither party (maybe he’s a socialist—who cares).

The bottom line is these Dems change positions on a nickel. Look at Joe Lieberman as an example. Poor Raymond is going through a political identity crisis. We understand, candidates like the Dems have produced would do that to anyone—sane or not!

3:15 wow you are really stupid....I really don't think I need say more, becouse on my very first comment I clearly stated that I wasn't either or. don't see a corner yet

"3:15 wow you are really stupid....I really don't think I need say more"
Yes Big Blue, please take your own advice and don't say any more.

ya your right quack Its getting old making you look so stupid. go back and play with your blocks now, and if your good you might get a cookie. when you grow up and want to show me some of that 20th century authority you just let me know. LOL.... what a joke....

Wow Donald, you really are a loser.
Good thing your ole grandma contributed to the ww2 effort, it shows she has more balls then you have!

My grandma wasn't Rosie the Riveter during WWII. What I said was the Obama 1/2 sister crumpet session was nothing more than a feel-good story because she talked about how patriotic Barry's family was going back to wwII. I mentioned that everybody had a duty to perform back then, and Big Blue somehow became a member of the Obama family and took it way out of context. So now we have this. My grandma has balls? C'mon Raymond! This person is making fun of women! Are you going to fight for my honor, or what? If my grandma's name was Sybil i bet you would!

Iraqi PM endorses Obamas POSITION that America should leave Iraq within 16 months.

"Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says U.S. troops should leave Iraq "as soon as possible," according to a magazine report, and he called presidential candidate Barack Obama's suggestion of 16 months "the right time-frame for a withdrawal."

The White House and Criminal-in-Chief accidentally emailed the story to Reuters news service. What a bunch of Morons!

4:33. Right! Al-Maliki has been saying that for some years now. Hasn't the Whitehouse been working with the Iraqi's on that plan, or do you believe they want a permanent occupation in Iraq?

As McSame says, we will stay in Iraq for 100 years. Indeed, I have no doubt that is the reason America is building the largest of all its Embassies in Iraq.

"Embassy Baghdad" will dwarf new U.S. embassies elsewhere, projects that typically cover 10 acres. The embassy's 104 acres is six times larger than the United Nations compound in New York, and two-thirds the acreage of Washington's National Mall.

"The fortress-like compound rising beside the Tigris River here will be the largest of its kind in the world, the size of Vatican City, with the population of a small town, its own defense force, self-contained power and water, and a precarious perch at the heart of Iraq's turbulent future".

All you Dems are having orgasms about the news of discussions about getting our troops out of Iraq. It wouldn't even be happening now if it wasn't for the success of the SURGE. By the way, where was your Messiah on the decision to use a surge tactic in Iraq? Watch the silence on this one!!!

You ever notice how Raymond can't have a conversation without insulting someone. He says he's not a Dem, but he sure as Hades has all the characteristics and behavior on one---Blue to the core! Best approach folks is for us, from this point forward, to totally ignore anything else he posts on hear. He obviously has some sort of personality disorder.

I don't know what has happened to Flagophile unless, as someone suggested, he has had an identity transformation. He has been rubbing it in to the Republicans about Obama's "huge" polling lead. Some food for thought.

Republicans forget, and Democrats painfully remember, that the Republicans almost always trail the Democrat by huge margins 4 months out, but close the gap in time for the election. Sometimes they pull out the win (Bush), sometimes they don't (Ford) but they always move in a positive direction in the last few months.

The average voter doesn't give the race much thought until September or October. Until then, they just parrot the leftist drivel from the MSM, who have been have to work harder than ever covering up Obama's gaffes, questionable associations, hyper-partisan liberalism, and anti-American views.

Americans, however, are too smart to buy the media's crap it all the way to November. Once they wake up and look past Obama's hoopla, they'll see what an empty suit he really is and the polls will reflect it.

Count on it!

hey quack just for the record I didn't write 4:08. If you notice I always put my name. theres just someone else here that thinks your an idiot to.

Yea sure, Great comment about the guys grandmother. You sensitive liberals give me the heeby jeebies!!!

12:43 there is a big difference between Liberal and freethinker, and as far as the comment....what ever dude believe what you want. I'll promise you this, if I made a comment, I have no problem backing myself up. If you think I'm sensitive, brother, you really don't know me. I'll tell you this, I sure do wish I could meet some of the people on here, and let them talk to me like the way they do on here. I would show them just house sensitive I am. Unfortunately that will never happen because they are the weak of our nation hideing behind a computer they are the suck ups that you see at work, the over privileged that doesn't even know what its like to have a Calais on his hands. These are the very people that are living the dream and care less about anyone that is hurting right now, only themselves, To you people; the people that are broke, hard working and don't have much to do with privilege obviously can't know anything or what's good for them. Its all you self ryechus people that think you are someone and know how to choose what's best for families with lower incomes than yourselves . Yes I make a great living, but I sure as hell am not going to forget where I come from. People like Donald and Doc..don't have a clue about what is going on in the real world. Oh they will tell you they do, just because they see it on TV, but they live to be able to turn off the TV and forget that the stands they take are hurting a country and people as well. All good hardworking Americans are feeling the outcome of voting for politicians that you people convinced us to vote for, and what they have done . But now you can't, now people have finally woken up they are waking up to the over charging, the over taxing, and crooked ways and underhanded trick. It drive you people crazy that real Americans are thinking for themselves now and no matter what you say it's not going to work, so keep up your spiel and catchy catch fraises.....it won't work we the people are going to take back what you stole and what you stole from our neighbors, our brothers and sister plus interest. Sensitive......hu you really don't know me............

Fuzzy. So what you're saying is you're a crazy old man that can't spell and you post things that have no substance whatsoever? That's what I thought! Sorry about the Rays losing today, but I'm sure you earned those calaises on your hands by high fiving all the fans in your blue suit. Take a happy pill and keep your posts short - curmudgeon!

Boy Oh Boy! This Raymond guy sounds like some kind of revolutionist. What is all this talk about "taking over" and taking back "what is ours"? Sounds like a threat to me. Better get Homeland Security to monitor this guys ISP. He's beginning to sound like the black guy, Obama supporter, on a video link on another thread calling for the killing of Whitey. Downright scary and someone in need of help.

Mr. Lance....I believe Raymond needs to visit me. I think I can help him find his head. He seems to have temporarily lost it since he started posting comments. My specialty is proctology. I think a colonoscopy would help in locating Raymond’s head, if it is not too far up where I will be looking.

Say what you want, I spoke my mind and by the way I am 35 and in charge of your future, you bunch of old farts. YOU baby boomer sacks of sh$# are destroying this country. Well, welcome to the real world, we are ready to take it back. Give us Ron Paul and we'll bring it back to what this country is supposed to be, but Obama will do. I have no problem getting the government involved; I have nothing to hide. I am well within my constitutional rights to be who I am and what I believe in. Hey Donald and Doc, guess what? There is NOTHING you can do about it. We are a people for the people and not government. Hey, face it…there is more of me than you. We will, with the support of President Obama, prevail over the tyranny that you softhearted baby boomers have created. I understand that diplomacy and interaction with the enemy may lead to an understanding of why they are our enemy in the first place and possibly open doors that you closed-minded individuals and your party could never imagine could be opened. If you want to segregate me and my views into the category of a revolutionist, then I am more than happy to take that label and be the in the company of such revolutionary forefathers as George Washington (leader of the colonial army in the American Revolution), Andrew Jackson (champion of the common people and opponent of vested interests), and Abraham Lincoln (I would hope that I don’t need to give you an idea of what HE has done?)

By the way, Doc…by stating that your speciality is proctology just reveals your age because that term has been obsolete for quite a while now, and just because you’re a doctor doesn’t make you any smarter than the rest of us. Now go and wipe that brown stuff off your nose.

10:24 – Go ahead and watch your vids on YouTube and download your music…and just see whose ISP the govt is watching. You may want to read “1984” too, but get the cliff notes version because I think your attention span may be too short for the full length. And don’t forget to sign up for your Nat’l ID card and your microchip.

"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither." Benjamin Franklin.

Oh Raymond,

You are making us Obama supporters look angry and uncaring about seniors. Are you clinging to your guns and bible as well? Please stop the hatred talk. It is not what Senator Obama wants reflected in our campaign. Perhaps you need some counseling.
