Yesterday's election: Be forewarned, do not buy Republican hype!

It is no surprise, none of this especially the timings. It really bothers me, every time I bring it up someone around the country shoots me down saying I am delusional.

It is simple undeniable fact! You can google it or do a search right here on "the bankrupting of America" These sheeple are so stupid, they are going to bring us down along with them.

Everybody knows! That is only one of the many lines of conversation we have had as Bush has endeavored to destroy FDR's legacy. FDR was able to accomplish what he did because he had the cooperation of Republicans.

That is why they have vowed to make Obama fail and create his and our Waterloo. If you believe the idiots in main stream media they are going to do it. Average Americans and the elderly are in serious trouble if their fear mongering succeeds.

When I remember Romney stumping for McCain for President and he said democrats are America's biggest enemy it gave me chills.

Our trying to take care of the sick and elderly and everyone who needs help is why we have all these problems.

Bush was always reducing what they call unfunded liabilities "social security, Medicaid, and Medicare, amongst other things.

My youngest who called yesterday from Afghanistan is getting ready to come home but he was pissed saying Obama cut NASA and is trying to cut military retirement.

Bush signed the irrevocable law on NASA before he left office along with creating this financial mess. The timing was no coincidence. It was to put the blamed on Democrats and it is working.

All the people that worked for Bush that were left in office have followed his plan and have been eroding Dem plans since. No surprise Gates was Bush's Secretary of Defense.

We are absolutely screwed if Republicans succeed in getting the power to repeal Health care, privatize Social Security, continue and enhance welfare for the wealthy, and taking Obama to court for crimes against America.

That should have been Bush's reward for destroying America and then flying away proud of his accomplishments. Not a good future we have before us and remember the state of the Political and environmental world of today!

New McCain Ad calling Obama the Anti Christ! I am sick of this crap! Bring on the Debates and put an end to McCain's idiocy!

New McCain Ad calling Obama the Anti Christ! I am sick of this crap!



It's not easy to make the infamous Willie Horton ad from the 1988 presidential campaign seem benign. But suggesting that Barack Obama is the Antichrist might just do it. That's just what some outraged Christian supporters of the Democratic nominee are claiming John McCain's campaign did in an ad " that was recently released online. The Republican nominee's advisers brush off the charges, arguing that the spot was meant to be a "creative" and "humorous" way of poking fun at Obama's popularity by painting him as a self-appointed messiah. But even this innocuous interpretation of the ad — which includes images of Charlton Heston as Moses and culled clips that make Obama sound truly egomaniacal — taps into a conversation that has been gaining urgency on Christian radio, political blogs, and in widely-circulated email messages that accuse Obama of being the Antichrist. AntiChrist Obama in McCain's new Ad too much

It was once again not meant to be humorous or have fun with the Campaign. It is a way of trying to hide the underhanded, dirty, deceitful, Politics of McCain to belittle Obama and those that follow him. I don't have to tell you at this point Obama is our greatest hope at a future and we and the world know it! It is starting to catch the underhanded, coniving, slime! Forget the Karl Rove playbook. For the past few weeks, Sen. John McCain's team seems to have been working from the equally brutal Don Rickles manual of presidential politics. McCain's campaign has been filling the traditional late-summer news lull with a string of stunts featuring a prickly humor that could come from the insult comic's act.

It could prove a potent political weapon against Sen. Barack Obama or it could bomb in his face like a bad joke. There are irony-laced videos. There are eBay-friendly props. And there is McCain himself, who has incorporated some of the best laugh lines into his stump speech. The McCain camp's comedy-lined assault effectively rankles Democrats -- but does it work on the press and public? It doen't work for me and the lying ignorance and facade of humor to turn people against Obama is starting to back fire!

* In the short term, at least, the approach was successful. An analysis by the Pew Foundation's Project for Excellence in Journalism, released this week, found McCain had pulled even with Obama in volume of press coverage. And after running four or five points behind Obama for a month, a Gallup daily tracking poll at the end of last week showed he had pulled even with Obama, at 44 percent. But by Wednesday, despite the continued media frenzy generated by the ads and the lingering fallout, Obama had again pulled ahead in the same Gallup poll. Why? PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! Remember the stupidity of McCain reidiculing Oama and inflated tires? WELL AFTER ALL THAT THE SCUM ADMITS IT DOES HELP BUT NOT AS MUCH AS OBAMA SAID. I AM SICK OF THIS CRAP! Even Former McCain senior adviser John Weaver -- who exited the campaign last year amid turmoil -- cast aside his usual interview reticence last week, telling the Atlantic magazine that he believed the campaign's embrace of mockery as a tactic "diminishes John McCain," and that the "Celeb" ad was "childish" and "reduces McCain on the stage." look at some of the idiotic Ads if you need a reminder

Bring on the Debates I say and put an end to McCain once and for all!

Obama is right Iraq is now a Diplomatic Solution! So is the entire worlds problems but the right wants war not Diplomacy!

First Monty Python Always look at the Bright side of Life!





Now! It gets more overwhelming every day as this facade of a Democracy proceeds with the campaigns and as citizen's of America, the middle east, and the world are increasingly enamored with Obama as well they should be, McCain now blaming him for the price of Gas gets increasingly ignorant and Bombastic! The Russian area bush has been instigating to war gets closer to fruition every day. Chavez is in Russia buying more advanced weaponry and establishing closer ties as the world unites to take on Bush and his war mongering my way or the highway establishment regardless of who is President.

I have 25 links to stories that are happening all at the same time and none of them good so instead of the usual look at the whole picture I decided to focus on Obama and his success in the middle east! The White House is not happy the middle east, Iraq, Israel, the entire world is embracing Obama as they better if we are to have a future period! McCain is a underhanded combative idiot more so every day as Obama's ideas are increasingly embraced. The Republicans want a Forever War in order to emplace them on the top of their new world order one economy one world Government. Obama is right, he wants peace not more war, the world is embracing him and the right is peeved!

Obama Iraq now needs a political solution, Amen! He will also work out the problems in the middle east Bush created. They know it and Bush is peeved. Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama stepped into the thicket of Mideast politics Tuesday, declaring in Jordan that neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians are strong enough internally to make the bold concessions necessary for peace. Obama said he would work to bring the two sides together "starting from the minute I'm sworn into office." But he cautioned it is "unrealistic to expect that a U.S. president alone can suddenly snap his fingers and bring about peace in this region."

After meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II, Obama flew to Israel for talks with Israeli leaders. He'll also meet later with Palestinians. Upon his arrival in Jerusalem, he spoke of a "historic and special relationship between the United States and Israel, one that cannot be broken" and one that he hoped to strengthen as president. In Jordan, he made his comments on the struggle for Mideast peace within a few hours of stepping off a military aircraft — a presidential contender carrying body armor and wearing orange earplugs — following his tour of war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq with two fellow senators.Obama vows to work for middle east breakthrough

* For once we seem to stand a chance of a successful future. it is a President Obama! A President who wants unity and peace from the get go not a facade at the end of his Presidency to create a phony legacy to cover his horrific damage to the US, the middle east, and the entire world. The right is peeved and I can not stop believing they will not allow a President Obama or an end to their power and Hidden Agenda! They will do something and I am very concerned with their dirty crap and wonder what the hell they are going to do to keep Obama and peace and unity from happening?

McCain is self destructing: Blowing off the Military, America's needs, Dumping his enablers Lobbyists and Spiritual Leaders, Barak's chances improve!

Yesterday was all about McCain primarily his arrogance over the military and his distancing of his his really perverted spiritual backers. After watching for the last week the issues piling up and McCain distancing himself from everyone that got him this far as he attempts to reinvent himself with a new set of lies so he can hopefully fool enough people to get elected as President. That is up to Obama! First let me put it all together as the full picture so you can look at it all at once and evaluate the situation in its entirety as we know it today! The more he distances himself from Bush the worse he gets and the more like him he gets!

I'll be a son of a gun! I wanted to start this off with the passing of yesterday's GI Bill that Obama rightly voted for and McCain abstained from. I just searched 3 1/2 friggen hours and I couldn't find the Bill? I wanted to show that it should really turn off many of the Veterans Groups that have all along been one of the backbones of McCain's Campaign. I wonder what my sons think of McCain now? McCain and Bush's big opposition to the Bill is that they think too many Veterans will opt out of their Forever Wars and get out to go to College. I really do not see that as a problem because many will be drawn to the Military as a means to afford College especially as the entire economy races South. It drove us in the military in the early 70s. Also included in the Bill were substantial funds to improve our failing infrastructure and improve unemployment benefits. McCain not wanting to vote on that Bill that was very important to our military, Katrina victims, hurting Americans, and American Society as a whole should tell many how important they are to McCain and what his priorities are and it is not them, the troops, or our Country that is in trouble!

I was offended that McCain could justify being against the bill but very disturbed over his ignorant response to Obama when he mentioned McCain abstained knowing his friends Rove, Bush, and Cheney, either didn't serve at all or went AWOL. He is okay with the fact that His Bosses either didn't serve having dodged Vietnam or got in the Reserves and went AWOL. I will go to my death knowing Bush received special favors to keep him from serving in Vietnam. Anyway he jumped right on Obama: I listened to this exchange between Obama and McCain. Obama criticized McCain and rightly so for not voting in favor of giving the troops added benefits. McCain in his smart ass holier than thou tone said I do not need someone who has not served in the military telling me how to treat the troops and that was the end of that one. McCain shut him up and it made McCain look strong. That should have been the beginning and Obama should have shut him up. Obama should have responded saying I do not have to be a woman to know how to treat them.Thus shutting McCain up, taking no punches, shutting him up, and appearing wiser as he is and more presidential. He has to learn how to fight like theses idiots. Taking the higher ground is just going to be a quicker way out of town. Do I have to teach Obama how to debate on this level? If he does not learn we are already done!

Anyway McCain is also biting the hands that fed him by dumping his many Lobbyists in response to Obama's efforts! While McCain claims holier than thou on the pork issue he is more than vulnerable on the Lobbyist issue. The New York Times notes McCain is finding a "thorny path" on this issue. "McCain’s political identity has long been defined by his calls for reducing the influence of special interests in Washington. But as he heads toward the general election as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, he has increasingly confronted criticism that his campaign staff is stocked with people who have made their living as lobbyists or in similar jobs, leaving his credentials as a reformer open to attack. The process of trying to purge the campaign of conflicts that in appearance or reality might violate Mr. McCain’s stated principles or cause him political trouble has so far focused only more attention on the backgrounds of his aides and advisers.”

“The delicate task of writing and enforcing the new conflict-of-interest policy has fallen to Mr. McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, who was himself a lobbyist until he took a leave of absence from his firm, Davis Manafort, two years ago." The paper also notes a slew of potential senior staffers who may have conflicts. "Wayne Berman, the campaign’s deputy finance chairman, has lobbied for the governments of Cyprus and Trinidad and Tobago, along with many other corporate clients. Christian Ferry, who is a lobbyist for Mr. Davis’s firm, is Mr. McCain’s deputy campaign manager. Susan Nelson, the finance director of the campaign, was as recently as last year a registered lobbyist for the Loeffler Group, for companies, including AT&T that have had business before Mr. McCain on the Commerce Committee. John Green, who has been reported to be coordinating the campaign’s efforts with congressional Republicans, is registered as a lobbyist for Ogilvy Government Relations, Mr. Berman’s firm. Carlos Bonilla, described by the McCain Web site as an economic adviser, is also a registered lobbyist."

Obama jumped on the lobbyist issue yesterday. "During a speech at a high school here, Obama said voters should be concerned that ‘after nearly three decades in Washington, John McCain can't see or won't acknowledge what's obvious to all of us here today -- that lobbyists aren't just part of the system in Washington, they're part of the problem.’” “McCain's campaign shot back quickly, challenging Obama to "shed light on the long list of federal lobbyists advising him on policy issues’ and accusing him of diverting attention from more serious matters. ‘Every moment that Senator Obama spends attacking individual volunteers on our campaign is time he's not using to address issues of real importance in the lives of Americans,’ said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds." And as we predicted yesterday, the blind quotes are telling. Check this out: "Some of McCain's advisers said Monday they are mystified by the new policy, which they said gives Obama an opening to attack their candidate. ‘The most interesting thing in every campaign is the self-inflicted wound. This is a great case,’ said one GOP fundraiser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss McCain's campaign decisions candidly. ‘When asked to name the 10,000 things people think are the most important issue, this doesn't make the list.’”
OBAMA VS. MCCAIN: THE LOBBYIST WAR

McCain is dumping his lobbyists and as far as I am concerned anyone who has dealings with them should be fired and tried. Average Americans, we the people, must be put back in the process and we will under Obama. Now I am happy to say to top it off yesterdays big issue with straight talking McCain as you know was his Spiritual endorsements: Finally Mr. McCain repudiated the Rev. John C. Hagee, a televangelist, after a watchdog group released a recording of a sermon in which Mr. Hagee said Hitler and the Holocaust had been part of God’s plan to chase the Jews from Europe and drive them to Palestine.

Later in the day, he also rejected the endorsement of the Rev. Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, Ohio, whose anti-Muslim sermons were broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday. Specifically on Hagee’s sermon on the Holocaust, McCain said, “Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible. I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee’s endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well.” A few hours later, after an ABC News report on Parsley started making the rounds, an AP reporter asked McCain about Parsley’s belief that the United States was created in order to destroy Islam. “I believe that even though he endorsed me, and I didn’t endorse him, the fact is that I repudiate such talk, and I reject his endorsement,” McCain said. It’s about time. Keep in mind, McCain was all-too pleased to not only seek out the support of these religious extremists, but to accept their endorsements, praise their “leadership,” and even campaign alongside them. McCain now claims he didn’t realize how crazy Hagee and Parsley really are. McCain slowly backs away from Hagee, Parsley — will there be consequences

You know he knew I am sick of the lying. McCain is finally being held account. He has been getting a buy up until now. he is now burning his bridges in an attempt to find new lies as he tries to reinvent himself. It is up to Obama to highlight these lies and uncover the living lie that is John McCain. Things are looking better for Obama every day as the soft underbelly of mealy mouthed McCain comes to light and I look forward to the one on ones between McCain and Obama. As long as Barack responds accordingly to McCain's smart ass dismissals we stand a beautiful chance of saluting President Obama. God Bless America!

Getting scary as Rove tries to drag it on saying Clinton still has a chance but Al Gore can end it today by coming out for whoever!

Of course Hillary vows to move on and win in West Virginia and she very well may but this chaos being fueled by the likes of Coulter, Limbaugh, Rove, and the complicit media must come to an end for the good of the country and the worlds future. I wanted to discuss Myanmar where I am hearing now that there may be up to 80,ooo dead. please watch any of many videos

That said once again I have to digress! I stayed up last night following events in North Carolina and Indiana. North Carolina was decided early on for Obama as expected but Indiana dragged on and on until I gave up and went to bed at 1:am expecting that I was right expecting a 50/50 split. Hey I was close and expect that if the Limbaugh, Rove factor was negated then Obama would have taken that to.

This is getting very chaotic instead of winding down as it should then it dawned on me that the man Al Gore can put an immediate end to this mess! It's an endorsement that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would love to score, but Al Gore has remained firmly neutral — even as the Democratic presidential race drags on months longer than expected. Many have speculated why Gore, one of the party's most popular figures, has decided to stay on the fence, but the former vice president said Tuesday the reason is really quite simple — and he still may yet come out for a candidate.

"My purpose in not endorsing a candidate is nothing elaborate," he told National Public Radio. “I’m simply watching and listening to the campaign. As a delegate to the convention I will cast my vote at the proper time. I haven’t ruled out making an endorsement prior to that time, but I haven’t been moved to do so.” Gore added, "I have respect for both candidates, they both have strengths, and I’m simply listening and watching like a lot of people."

The party's 2000 presidential candidate is easily the most sought after remaining undecided super delegates and his is perhaps one of the few remaining endorsements that could significantly alter the state of the race. But several political observers have suggested Gore is remaining neutral should he be called in to play the role of "party elder" and forge a compromise between the two candidates.

"I don't like that phrase party elder," Gore said of that suggestion. "I am not anxious to be playing that role. I just turned 60, which is the new 59. I am just a voter, and a recovering politician, and watching it carefully. "I don't know if that role really exists," Gore added. “I think the odds are overwhelming that it will tip rather decisively in one direction or another before the convention even meets.” But Gore acknowledged the party may have to review its nominating system after the presidential primary race has finally ended. “Probably it should be re-examined, but I prefer to wait until this is over to get a full picture on this has worked," he said. "I guess there’s widespread dissatisfaction with the idea of having so many so-called superdelgates, and maybe that will be the prevailing view when this is all over.” Gore may endorse and should quick

* Myanmar, the democratic nomination, Al Gore, feel free to discuss it in the comments. I will be there! Anyway, Al Gore as you can agree is right . We have to revamp the way the party works and this supposed Democratic voting process works or does not work but for now he can put and end to this whole chaotic divisive process by coming out right now for one or the other preferably to me Obama!

We need Obama but he is sunk, McCain is our next President and the complicit media will again do the Rights war mongering bidding!

I had so much conflicting information this morning I had no idea which direction to go in in fact I still don't. I am still blown away thinking that one of my sons was due home in 2 days and one was scheduled to be in Iraq but the civilian airlines scheduled to move their units just went belly up. What the hell is that? Anyway you know I believe we are in trouble if we do not get Obama elected. Having said that after hearing Reverend Wright this morning trying to explain himself I can only shake my head because I do agree with him and I have to hope it is not his real intention but he has sunk Obama!

In a defiant appearance before the Washington media, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that criticism surrounding his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and rejected those who have labeled him unpatriotic. "I served six years in the military," Barack Obama's longtime pastor said. "Does that make me patriotic? How many years did (Vice President Dick) Cheney serve?" Wright spoke at the National Press Club before the Washington media and a supportive audience of black church leaders beginning a two-day symposium. He said the black church tradition is not bombastic or controversial, but different and misunderstood by the "dominant culture" in the United States.

He said his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago has a long history of liberating the oppressed by feeding the hungry, supporting recovery for the addicted and helping senior citizens in need. He said congregants have fought in the military, including in Afghanistan and Iraq. "My goddaughter's unit just arrived in Iraq this week while those who call me unpatriotic have used their positions of privilege to avoid military service while sending over 4,000 American boys and girls to die over a lie," he said.

Wright said he hopes the controversy will have a positive outcome and spark an honest dialogue about race in America. Wright says black church traditions are still "invisible" to many Americans, as they have been throughout the country's history. He said he hopes "the most recent attack on the black church — it is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright — it's an attack on the black church," he said to applause, "just might mean that the reality of the African-American church will no longer be invisible. Wright doesn't have a clue, please read and discuss

* Wright is wrong! He has sunk Obama and guaranteed President McCain who will follow Bush new order agenda in America the middle east, and around the world to all our demise. The complicit Media will see to it once again. The following story is so telling I find it necessary to reprint it almost in its entirety! Read More: Abc, Barry McCaffrey, Cbs, Cnn, Eason Jordan, Fox, Frank Sesno, Iraq War, Msnbc, Nbc, Pentagon, Pentagon Analysts, Pentagon Propaganda, Phil Donahue, Ramsey Clark, Scott Ritter, Breaking Media News. Jeff Cohen: In the fall of 2002, week after week, I argued vigorously against invading Iraq in debates televised on MSNBC. I used every possible argument that might sway mainstream viewers -- no real threat, cost, instability. But as the war neared, my debates were terminated.

There was no room for me after MSNBC launched Countdown: Iraq -- a daily one-hour show that seemed more keen on glamorizing a potential war than scrutinizing or debating it. Countdown: Iraq featured retired colonels and generals, sometimes resembling boys with war toys as they used props, maps and glitzy graphics to spin invasion scenarios. They reminded me of pumped-up ex-football players doing pre-game analysis and diagramming plays. It was excruciating to be sidelined at MSNBC, watching so many non-debates in which myth and misinformation were served up unchallenged.
It was bad enough to be silenced. Much worse to see that these ex-generals -- many working for military corporations -- were never in debates, nor asked a tough question by an anchor.

(I wasn't allowed on MSNBC unless balanced by at least one truculent right-winger.) Except for the brazenness and scope of the Pentagon spin program, I wasn't shocked by the recent New York Times report exposing how the Pentagon junketed and coached the retired military brass into being "message-force multipliers" and "surrogates" for Donald Rumsfeld's lethal propaganda. The biggest villain here is not Rumsfeld or the Pentagon. It's the TV networks. In the land of the First Amendment, it was their choice to shut down debate and journalism. No government agency forced MSNBC to repeatedly feature the hawkish generals unopposed. Or fire Phil Donahue. Or smear weapons expert Scott Ritter. Or blacklist former attorney general Ramsey Clark. It was top NBC/MSNBC execs, not the Feds, who imposed a quota system on the Donahue staff requiring two pro-war guests if we booked one anti-war advocate -- affirmative action for hawks.

I'm all for a Congressional investigation into the Pentagon's Iraq propaganda operation -- which included an active-duty general exhorting ex-military-turned-paid-pundits that "the strategic target remains our population." But I'm also for keeping the focus and onus on CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, even NPR - who were partners in the Pentagon's mission of "information dominance." And for us to see that American TV news remains so corrupt today that it has hardly mentioned the Times story on the Pentagon's pundits, which was based on 8,000 pages of internal Pentagon documents acquired by a successful Times lawsuit. It's important to remember that at the same time corporate TV outlets voluntarily abandoned journalistic ethics in the run-up to Iraq, independent media boomed in audience by making totally different journalistic choices. Programs like Democracy Now! featured genuine experts on Iraq who -- what a shock! -- got the facts right. Independent blogs and websites, propelled by war skepticism, began to soar.
As for the major TV networks, they were not hoodwinked by a Pentagon propaganda scheme. They were willingly complicit, and have been for decades. As FAIR's director, I began questioning top news executives years ago about their over-reliance on non-debate segments featuring former military brass.

After the 1991 Gulf war, CNN and other networks realized that their use of ex-generals had helped the Pentagon dazzle and disinform the public about the conduct of the war.

Wright doesn't have a clue, please read and discuss">Please read on it gets worse

I do not see how we are going to put an end to this complicity. The MSM will now sink Obama, get McCain elected, see that this war mongering agenda is continued, and all to the demise of average Americans and the world. How are we going to put an end to this?

Obama is not a Muslim extremist he is a Christian for what it is worth and will be our next President if the right does not succeed in smearing Him!

I wanted to discuss some serious business today but found it necessary to dispel a recurring right wing rumor that Obama is a Muslim and is going to convert and destroy our America that Bush has already destroyed with his perverted Christianity. I was sent a link to the right on predictions of Gerald Celente, director of the Trends Research Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. he is the expert the our so called Political experts turn to. He is pretty good but I am afraid too optimistic. He is calling the our financial demise media demise and our underhanded business structure and that we will rebuild. He fails to realize those are the systems that run America and the American people have shown no stomach to rebuild our societal structure. I do recommend reading it

I also wanted to discuss Bush's asinine $3 trillion dollar Budget 2009 that funds his wars and further chokes the future of our kids. If you want to look at it, it is Here
However, I received another lying underhanded email that the right wing has routinely used to sway uneducated voters and with Super Tuesday only a day away it is very critical to dispel the lying rumor that Barak Obama is a Muslim and a terrorist who is going to undermine America that Bush irritably already undermined right under the very noses of those who ridiculously believe these falsehoods about Barak. I will not justify all the ridicule noted but I have to address these two important points before I pass this on to get the truth out!

Is it true that Obama was sworn in using the Quran instead of the Bible? No he did not, nor did Congressman Keith Ellison, as is widely reported in Y!A. During the official swearing in ceremony for all Congressmen, they don't use the Bible or anything else, they just raise their right hands and repeat the oath as its dictated. Congressman Ellison, who is indeed a Muslim, later posed for a photo op wherein he and Nancy Pelosi put their hands on a Koran once owned by Thomas Jefferson, a slave-owner and sex partner of slave Sally Hemmings. Real questions Real answers

Another: Is Barack Obama a Muslim and or a terrorist? Barack: "In the internet age, there are going to be lies that are spread all over the place. I have been victimized by these lies. Fortunately, the American people are, I think, smarter than folks give them credit for." "Dueling chain e-mails claim he's a radical Muslim or a 'racist' Christian. Both can't be right. We find both are false. If these two nasty e-mail messages are any indication, the 2008 presidential campaign is becoming a very dirty one. One claims that Obama is 'certainly a racist' by virtue of belonging to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, which it says 'will accept only black parishioners' and espouses a commitment to Africa. Actually, a white theology professor says he's been 'welcomed enthusiastically' at the church, as have other non-blacks. Another e-mail claims that Obama 'is a Muslim,' attended a 'Wahabi' school in Indonesia, took his Senate oath on the Koran, refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and is part of an Islamic plot to take over the U.S. Each of these statements is false. These false appeals to bigotry and fear remind us of the infamous whispering campaign of eight years ago, when anonymous messages just before the South Carolina primary falsely accused Republican candidate John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child by a black woman.

In closing: OBAMA IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A MUSLIM! Los Angeles Times: The Rumors About Obama Are "False And Vile." The Los Angeles Times wrote in an editorial, "That the rumors are false and vile is self-evident...Presidential candidates of both parties have a duty to denounce not only the smear against Obama but the bigotry that underlies it."
Obama Spokesman Robert Gibbs Issued A Statement Explaining That "Senator Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, Was Not Raised As A Muslim, And Is A Committed Christian." "Obama's campaign aides have emphasized his strong Christian beliefs and downplayed any Islamic connection. The Illinois senator was raised 'in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother,’ his chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said in a statement in January after false reports began circulating that Obama had attended a radical madrasa, or Koranic school, as a child. 'To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago,’ Gibbs' Jan. 24 statement said."

Obama "Beckoning" Felt At Trinity United Church Of Christ, "Submitted Myself To His Will, And Dedicated Myself To Discovering His Truth And Carrying Out His Works." Obama said, "So one Sunday, I put on one of the few clean jackets I had, and went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright deliver a sermon called "The Audacity of Hope." And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ.

I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. And in time, I came to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world and in my own life. It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. I didn't fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. The questions I had didn't magically disappear. The skeptical bent of my mind didn't suddenly vanish. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt I heard God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth and carrying out His works."

Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim. Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ. the truth about Obama
