The Obamas tag team bashing of America.

OBAMA:

They get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren’t like them.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

Barack knows there’s a hole in our soul.

OBAMA:

I know my country has not perfected itself.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

It’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America.

OBAMA:

We’re confronting the history and stain of slavery in this country. We’re confronting those scars.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.

OBAMA:

America, uh, is — is no longer, uh, what it — it could be, what it once was.

I’m thinking, “I’m hearing sort of a cleaned up version of what Jeremiah Wright thinks.”

America’s chickens are coming home to roost! Evil white people!

My friends, it has come to my attention that America’s children are facing a crisis that threatens the very foundation of their being.

Apparently, when Congress provided the stimulus checks for you, they forgot to add enough money to cover “back-to-school” expenses. With gas prices still high, and the Democrats on vacation, the effects of this oversight are just now becoming known.

Retailers are reporting that back-to-school clothing sales are lagging. Parents are instead opting to purchase things that they consider to be “necessities”, like food and gasoline.

In a recent report, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets, Todd Slater, summed up the crisis this way:

“Most kids will be returning to school… in last year’s duds.”

This is unconscionable!

What message are we sending to our kids?

How will they handle being forced to wear clothing they already have? All the work educators have done to build up the self-esteem of these kids — even at the expense of learning — could collapse on the first day of school when humiliated kids show up in “last year’s duds”!

Especially cruel will be the kids wearing old duds having to face wealthy kids, whose parents bought them new duds. To head off this certain disaster, we need to consider a ban on all new clothing this school year.
No wonder the Obama recently told a 7-year-old girl that America had sunk from its best days.

The children — who are our future — are wearing clothes from last year.

Can it get any worse?

Insane…

Did you people hear about this?

The Obama campaign, as you know, is all upset about the Paris Hilton and Britney Spears ad.

It’s racist for having “phallic symbols” — the Victory Column and the Washington Monument — in there. They say these are women who are known to be scantily clad at times (but were not in the ad) with a black guy, and that’s a racist thing.

They also didn’t like the fact they were trying to portray Obama as a celebrity.

Well, it turns out that Obama was the first to compare himself to Paris Hilton, not McCain!

Obama did this himself.

Yes, folks, NewsBusters came up with this. They went back to their own archives.

February 24th, 2005, Washington Post article:

“There’s nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and more to the point, how they are broken. ‘Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,’

said Barack Obama.

‘Well, I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean I’m so overexposed I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.'”

So Obama has already compared himself to Paris Hilton.

McCain didn’t break any new ground there.

O.K., maybe using “amazing” in the title was a bit titillating…

Most of us who pay attention to this empty suit running for president, know already – his actions, statements and predictions are a burger and fries short of a Happy Meal. Those who don’t pay attention… should. We are talking about the presidency of the United states here, not the local YMCA.

Reference:

McCain Not First to Compare Obama to Paris Hilton

Update: Time magazine had the quote as well. From their Verbatim section

Last week, John McCain attacked the Bush Administration for wasteful spending, while Obama blamed Bush and Wall Street for economic conditions overall. Both these candidates promised vast improvement if elected.

McCain’s version included giving himself some wiggle room on his commitment not to raise taxes. Obama, hopeless as ever, merely offered to change course with some “immediate action.”

But neither candidate mentioned Congress, my friends, and as everybody who’s had Civics 101 knows, it isn’t the president who ultimately sets the budget or formulates tax policy; it is Congress. Just as important, Congress performs all kinds of social engineering — from housing to education — which greatly impacts the economy as well.

With gas prices and housing among the topmost issues for voters, we have a golden opportunity, here, for conservatives.

For decades, liberal policies from Congress — forbidding more drilling and refining of oil — have restrained energy growth. Even now, Nancy Pelosi refuses to allow drilling to be taken up by the House (because she says she has to “save the planet“).

And liberal welfare-state policy-making from Congress fueled the sub-prime debacle (not Wall Street), as well as the horrendous election-year “housing rescue” bill that just passed. In every screw-up — from education to health care — you will find the fingerprints of liberalism and Congress.

The real “change“ required to heal decades of mismanagement in government is not about changing the cast of characters in the White House or a change of skin color of a candidate.

It really does begin in Congress… after it begins with you — because you’re the one who send them there!

Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator today calls our attention to a book review in the Los Angeles Times.

The book is liberal journalist Jane Mayer, The Dark Side:

The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals.

This is a book devoted to the chronology of the supposed torture that was ordered from the White House down.

Tim Rutten reviewed the book on July 15th in the LA Times, and I want you to read a paragraph from Tim Rutten’s review:

“Finally, in the years ahead our country must still come to grips with our national acquiescence to the politics of fear, which has led to the detention and abuse of hundreds of individuals. Among the necessary steps will be restoration of freedom to innocent detainees, accompanied by public apology and some monetary restitution for the years they lost to incarceration. Furthermore, Congress needs to accept responsibility for its complicity with the executive in laws that denied suspects rightful appeal. A national truth commission should be instituted to establish political accountability for the decisions, policies and statutes that placed suspects outside the protection of the law.”

We’re talking about prisoners of war.

We’re talking here about terrorists.

Now, this paragraph was not written by Tim Rutten. He cited this paragraph, approvingly so, from the editors of the Jesuit magazine, America, the National Catholic Weekly.

It was in the July 21st issue that the National Catholic Weekly wrote that paragraph, which essentially suggests, and of course now cited by Tim Rutten favorably, so it’s in the LA Times, citing it favorably, suggesting reparations for Al-Qaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.

The liberal press rolls on…

Side Note: My Great Great Grandfather came to America from Poland as an indentured servant, 7 years of slavery – but we never hear the families of this group of slaves asking for anything. Of course being white, that would of course brand us as RACIST… which is the Democrat way. Now they want reparations for terrorist — I guess thats part of the Democrat “stategery” to gain more Terrorist support world wide…
