Obama is leading in all Polls.

Can you say President Obama!

Why does Obama need SO much more of your money? To pay for his $1 trillion in NEW spending, of course.

But there's something else.

He needs you to pay for reparations to the black community for slavery.

He wants the Supreme Court to "redistribute the wealth" in order to force "economic justice." His remark to Joe the Plumber that he wants to "spread the wealth around" wasn't a fluke.

He said this point-blank in a 2001 interview with a public radio station in Chicago, WBEZ. He says that one of the great "tragedies" of the civil rights movement was to fail to secure reparations at the time, and complains that the Warren Supreme Court "wasn't that radical." He suggests the Court should have been more "radical" and forced reparations. "We still suffer from it," he said. Meaning the "social injustice" of the failure to pay out reparations.

He goes on to say that "redistributive change" is his goal and should be the goal of the courts. That's the purpose of "community organizing," he says: to get the black communities "organized" to force it.

And he says that the Constitution "reflected a fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day."

Meaning: he aims to change it. Through the Supreme Court. Through legislation. Through a Democratic Congress. Through what he calls "administrative" work.

THIS is what Obama means by "change." It's not some wispy, cotton candy idea of "change" from George W. Bush or positive "change" for the country by electing a fresh face.

Obama means RADICAL CHANGE of wealth redistribution----SOCIALISM---in order to FORCE REPARATIONS.

Of course, if Obama stays true to form, he will try to explain this away by lying about it, twisting his own words, and saying "what I meant was..."

ENOUGH! WE KNOW WHAT HE MEANS. IT IS CLEAR.

The Deceiver has deceived LONG ENOUGH.

bye, bye McSenile/Palin-ditz (aka Caribu Barbie).

2:06 can't even spell correctly. Nice.

I wonder if Colin Lieberman will be Obama's Dick Cheney. He paid for it with his honor. He should get it.

How do we get from

Of the 1,010,046 people who voted early,

Of the 1,059 absentee ballots returned so far


to....


All told, 2,069,564 people have voted already -

Please re-read. Of the 1,010,046 people who voted early and the 1,059,518 absentee ballots returned so far...=2,069,564 What I don't understand is why this information has not been withheld and announced on Election Day.

Uh oh. Better call jeb to see how to fix this election. may not have enough time though.

Hey Charlie, thanks for one heckuva an endorsement!

This is "assuming" that all Dems voted for Obama and vice versa. Thus there is nothing accurate about this assesment.

EARLY VOTING IS USUALLY FAVORED BY DEMOCRATS LIKE IN 2004.

REPUBLICANS USUALLY FAVOR ON ELECTION DAY BY BIGGER OVERALL MARGIN LIKE IN 2004.

stfu if u dont know what ur talking about okay.

mccain!!!
