Can some one tell me does Obama have a surge or the big "Mo". Time after time the Media has promoted Obama has the person that is a god that can save our party. Who is this Obama, let the media think for us, he is JFK, MLK, maybe God....
I will tell you who Obama is, Obama that is all. Obama will never come close to a JFK due to the fact, Kennedy was not a liberal as Obama himself has turned out to be. Kennedy was strong on international policy, Obama is not. For example, this policy of Obama to talk with rogue leaders of Iran, Cuba, etc., is crazy and radical. Based on Obama's policies, he would have used tax payers money to sit down and talk with Adolf Hitler of Germany. What would he have said to Hitler, "please do not kill any more jewish citizens." This is what you get with a person with no experience, good speeches, and hype. This Obama speaks with a fork tongue, let me build my case below.
On a different note, Obama has reported on the trail that when asked what is his weakness, he reported that he is not the best with keeping up with his speeches. He is right about that one, so that leads me to this question. Obama where are your missing records, while in the State Senate of IL? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/21742139#21742139 Tim asked Obama this question on Novemember 11, 2007. Obama must have lost his records of all he meet with while a State Senator. Hum some thing here is not right. What lobbyist did you meet up with Obama.
If you can not access this link, here is the transcrpit from that segment:
MR. RUSSERT: You talked about Senator Clinton having records released from the Clinton Library regarding her experience as first lady, and yet when you were asked about, “What about eight years in the state senate of Illinois,” you said, “I don’t know.” Where, where are the—where are your records?
SEN. OBAMA: Tim, we did not keep those records. I...
MR. RUSSERT: Are they gone?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, let’s be clear. In the state senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois. The, the stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues. So...
MR. RUSSERT: But your meetings with lobbyists and so forth, there’s no record of that?
SEN. OBAMA: I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.
MR. RUSSERT: Is your schedule available anywhere? Are—the records exist?
SEN. OBAMA: I—Tim, I kept my own schedule. I didn’t have a scheduler.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Durbin, your colleague, publishes his schedule each day. Would you do that?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, these days I have a public presidential schedule that I think everybody has access to.
Example 2, Obama says he has not taken money for lobbyists, well let us see....
MR. RUSSERT: You’ve been talking a lot about lobbyists and money in politics. This is The Boston Globe in August: in eight—“Obama’s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns came from” political action committees, “corporate contributions,” “unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial service firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.” You now talk about, “Well, I’m not taking any money from lobbyists.” You do take money from state lobbyists. You took $1.5 million from federal lobbying—employees who work for federal lobbying firms. There seems to be a real inconsistency between the amount of money you raise and where it’s coming from, and your rhetoric.
SEN. OBAMA: Well, Tim, look, I, I have said repeatedly that money is the original sin in politics and I am not sinless. I have raised money in order to bankroll my campaigns. But what I have been consistent about is fighting to reduce the influence of money in politics at every level of government. I am the only candidate in this race who has really pushed hard to reduce the influence of lobbyists. When I was in the state legislature, I passed the first campaign ethics reform legislation in 25 years. When I was in the United States Senate working with Russ Feingold, we passed the toughest ethics reform since Watergate—eliminating meals, eliminating gifts, eliminating the use of corporate jets by congressmen when they’re given by lobbyists. So I’ve got this track record, and the way I’m conducting this campaign, I think, reflects that interest in reducing money in politics.
MR. RUSSERT: But it’s all new. You did it all this...
SEN. OBAMA: No, no, no, no, no. As I said, Tim, this interest, this support of public financing of campaigns, the support of changing the ethics rules, promoting robust disclosure when it comes to how campaigns are financed, those are all laws that I have written and I have passed. So my commitment extends beyond just not taking lobbyists’ money and taking PAC money. It’s absolutely true that, in the past, there have been times where I received lobbyist and PAC money. But the interest in reducing money in politics is one that has been consistent and that I have consistently fought against. And that, I think, is the kind of track record, of being willing to take on not only Republicans, but oftentimes taking on leaders in my own party who are resistant to change that I think gives me credibility to say when I am president I am actually going to take this seriously and use my political capital to deal with it.
MR. RUSSERT: But if you say you don’t take federal lobbyist but you take state lobbyist money...
SEN. OBAMA: Well, Tim...
MR. RUSSERT: ...or you take money from people who work for federal lobbying firms, or you take $2 million from people who work on Wall Street or hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who work in pharmaceutical companies, isn’t it just a word game?
Obama is a politician that talks the same old stuff, none the less he is has a new address, it is D.C. Thus, Obama has lied to America and the media have taken the bait and defending his 2004 speech saying “he did not know how he would have voted on the resolution authorizing the war.” Can someone tell me (since we are so dumb to believe this) how is this contrast to what Obama is saying now to what he said ohhhhh 2-3 years ago? It is a lie, Obama has pointed fingers at others but he is not in a position to point fingers. Obama will never be a MLK or JFK because Obama’s words and rhetoric is aimless.
How can Obama have the audacity to call for hope, even change for that matter; I ask hope for what or better yet “change” what? Feel good speeches are good but you are inspiring to what end Obama? Obama you are a lie and signify nothing!
