Nine Questions for Barack-O
I was in a doctors office waiting room yesterday and they had CNN on. They were showing the hour-long special on race after a Florida sheriff committed the horrible act of saying “Barack Hussein Obama” while at a speaking engagement. Wow, what a racist. In the waiting room with me was an older black gentleman and t became obvious that he was an Obama supporter. We had a good discussion, he’s obviously brainwashed, but that’s not the point. He kept on referring to Obama as “Barack-O” (rhymes with Morroco). So I’m running with that today.
Here’s why I will never be invited to an Obama town hall: My questions for Barack-O.
- Given your average grades at Occidental College and no record of impressive LSAT scores, how did you get accepted into Harvard Law?
- You have been criticized as lacking leadership experience. Why didn’t you mention your five years as Chairman of the Ayer’s-founded CAC in either of your two autobiographies, and why won’t you talk about it today?
- How has your exposure and study of the Communist teachings of Saul Alinsky helped shape your opinions and political goals?
- Why haven’t you released your medical records? McCain has released thousands of pages. Do your high school and college years abuse of alcohol and cocaine have some lingering effects that we should know about?
- According to your own organization’s statements the school funding efforts you led (over $100M) resulted in no educational improvements. Why don’t you share with the public the specific things you improved as a community organizer in Chicago and how this potentially translates to success as President
- Why won’t you give any detail about your trip to Pakistan in 1981? Traveling to that part of the world back then was pretty risky. Were you searching for your identity? Were you just visiting your Pakistani roommate’s family?
- The press has ripped Palin’s family over personal issues, even those of a minor. Why should you get a pass about your poverty stricken half-brother that you haven’t helped?
- Your first book, “Dreams From My Father,” which exposes his influence in your life was devoted to your father. Why don’t you talk about your father’s communist leanings in an entire book dedicated to his memory?
- You also mention in the same book the influence of Frank Marshall Davis. He was a communist that fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his “subversive,” “un-American activities.” Can you expand on this at all?
These will never, ever be answered. The press would rather run with political commentary from Paris Hilton or some other vapid Hollywood personality instead of doing so actual investigative journalism.
People of America: What the hell are you thinking?
The debate last night was fairly boring, but from a pure debate perspective McCain won. My scorecard had McCain winning about five or six of the questions, the other 15 or so were a tie. However, he didn’t deliver a knockout blow which is what he needed. However, at this point I don’t know if there IS a knockout blow that anyone can deliver. We could discover video of Obama snorting coke off of a hooker’s ass while torturing kittens and his poll numbers would probably rise. Too much of America is drinking the cool-aid, and I think this particular drink is far worse than what Jim Jones served up decades ago. When in our history has a presidential candidate been associated with so many questionable people? When in our history has a presidential candidate been so far to the left of the political spectrum? So I ask Democrats and Liberals: WHY are you voting for Obama?
- “I hate George Bush.” Well, Bush isn’t running. And before you say he’s the same as Bush let me tell you that you are dead wrong. Libs are fond of pointing out that McCain has voted with his party 90% of the time. Obama has done the same 97% of the time. Flip that over and you see a major difference. McCain has voted against his party 10% of the time, Obama 3%. This means that McCain has voted against his party more than three times as often as Obama. So how is Obama a change candidate?
- “I want us out of the war.” Well, so does McCain. However, McCain wants us to leave with honor and victory. House Majority Leader Harry Reid has already declared the war as lost, which means somebody else has won. Who won? Iraq? Al Qaeda? America still has a military presence in Japan and Germany, but we aren’t at war with them. McCain does not want us at war for 100 years.
- “Obama is so charming and different.” True, he’s charming and has a great smile. But he’s not different. He is a classic Chicago politician and has the relationships to prove it (see Rezko and Ayers). In an effort to add experience and foreign relations experience to his campaign he selected a 35-year Washington insider as his running mate. His pick has made several embarassing gaffes and statements since being selected, yet the press has given him a complete pass. If McCain said the things Biden said the Left would say he was senile. If Palin said them, the Left would say she is clueless. But Biden gets a pass.
So let’s assume that Obama gets elected. And lets remove the war from the discussion. Make believe that Obama brings all of our troops home and appeases all of the Cindy Sheehan psychos out there. What we are left with is the most liberal senator leading our country. It would be as painful as having Jerry Fallwell as the president. Obama is not a moderate, he is nothing close to the center of the spectrum. And, he will appoint people of a similar mindset to the most powerful positions in America including the Supreme Court. This is wrong.
So America, what the hell are you thinking? Respect the power of the vote and please do some research. If you want to read what the press isn’t saying about Obama, please check out the Investors Business Daily series on Barack Obama.
