Barack Obama Endorsed By Hamas

Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef actually said: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.” Jeffery Goldberg of the Atlantic interviewed Obama and it is this month’s issue of that magazine (the link takes you to the entire interview). 

John McCain jumped on this statement, calling it a “legitimate point of discussion,” and tied it to Obama’s putative softness on Iran, whose ever-charming president last week called Israel a “stinking corpse” and predicted its “annihilation.”

And one of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.  Hamas is a group that has been labeled as a terrorist organization by the US State Department.  The aide, Robert Malley, has claims he  stepped down as an advisor to Obama. However it is being widely reported that Obama sacked Malley.  Barack Obama had criticised former President Jimmy Carter for holding direct talks with Hamas.

Then, Barack Obama said he had been to 57 states and had two to go (advisors said it wasn’t worth the time traveling to Alaska and Hawaii) since he began campaigning for Presidency.  As I pointed out on in my comment on Bullwinkle’s post, there are 57 Islamic States, so I can understand the confusion.

This is the kind of thing that will cause Obama problems and gives me hope as a Conservative American. 

Obama Visited 57 states with two to go

Two days ago in Oregon Barack Obama told us he visited 57 states with two to go. Could you imagine if President Bush said that!

Maybe Barack Was Sleeping on That Sunday Morning?

I go to church on Sundays. Yes I am everything the left wing hates. I must admit I have fallen asleep a few times in church. Its so peaceful and serene there. Maybe Barack was sleeping on the Sunday mornings that The Reverend Wright was preaching those high spirited sermons? We know Barack attends his church on a regular basis. He told us that quite eloquently, why would we not believe him? An even easier defense for Obama would be to have said he lied about going to church.

I am not even going to put up a Youtube video of the Rev Wright’s sermon, I am sure you can see the image and come up with the answer.

By the way I hope you are not reading this on a Sunday morning when you should be in church.

Mr. Peabody Is Wrong. Gantt Is Doing The Right Thing — Just Ask Pastor Manning

James David Manning, Pastor of the Atwah Ministries in Harlem, has an interesting take on African-American leaders.  In this clip, he berates Barack Obama for never having been in jail.  He feels a black leader isn’t “keeping it real” if they haven’t been to jail.

So, Assemblyman David Gantt’s action in February make all the sense in the world.  And his support of Hillary Clinton makes sense now in light of the Pastor’s comments (who cares who you vote for when both candidates have white mamas?).

Mr. Peabody, I agree with about 95% of what you have to say, but you’re wrong on this.  To quote Pastor Manning, “if white people haven’t put a black person in jail then he’s not qualified to be a leader in the African American community.” Assemblyman Gantt is doing the wright right thing! 

Who Is Frank Marshall Davis And What Is His Connection With Obama?

In Barack Obama’s book , “Dreams From My Father” he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as “Frank.” The Frank is Frank Marshall Davis. Just who is this man that was Obama’s early mentor? According to the University of Hawaii he was a socialist who moved to Hawaii from Arkansas because he was not known in Hawaii. In the 1950’s Hawaii was not yet a state and moving there meant getting away from the scrutiny of the communist hunt led by Senator Joseph McCarthy. I could understand why a socialist would want to get away from this situation.

Accuracy in Media identifies Davis as a communist. In the story it claims that Frank Marshall Davis was a publicly identified member of the Communist Party USA. I am not sure that he was a practicing communist. There seems to be much back and forth on this fact and nowhere is there a photo of his communist party card. However there is no doubt that his leanings are very socialist and extreme left.

It is a fair question to ask, What effect did he have on Obama? According to the Washington Post, Obama is the most Liberal Senator we have. What is happening is we are getting a chronology of Obama’s life and mentors.  We have the Reverend Wright, William Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis. Then there are nebulous connections to people like Lewis Farrakhan, and Raila Odinga who I wrote about in this blog.  In a future post I will tell you about the influence of the black liberation theology of James H. Cone on Obama.  Please understand, I am not saying these people are evil.  Most are Americans who have the same rights to say what they believe and influence your vote to decide our leaders as I do.  The point is that these people have an extreme leftist ideology and they had a big influence on Obama. I will leave it to the readers to decide if that is right for America, whether we want a President that has these beliefs. [Read more →]

Is Barack Obama Ready for the Top Job? Will Hillary Clinton Steal the Primary Election?

Even though I’m voting for John McCain (I just can’t bring myself to vote for Socialism in this country) I was however very impressed with Barack Obama’s speaking ability. When he has some momentum, his speeches are uplifting and you are actually glued to your seat listening to him. However, when he hits a bump in the road, like when the Hillary political machine attacks him for a misspeak or with the Reverend Wright issue constantly looming over his head, Obama gets really thrown off his game. He stammers with his response and it takes some time for him to get back on track. My concern is that if he’s elected President, he won’t have the luxury of taking time to compose himself when he hits the daily bumps in the road as Commander in Chief. As Bill Clinton and George Bush found out, the leader of the free world has to be able to react immediately and with confidence and decisiveness.

Reverend Wright’s Racism Is Aimed At Blacks And Whites

A reader send us the link to this video — it’s from Pastor James David Manning, PhD, from the Atlah World Ministries, an African-American Church in Harlem.  Contrary to Reverend Wright’s view, it’s proof that not all black clergy members hate America or feel obligated to support Obama. 

We try to provide our readers with the information they need to make informed decisions.  We find it offensive that Reverend Wright would claim that criticism of him is criticism of Black Churches.  Well Reverend Wright, you can’t make claims or charges on behalf of an entire race of people.

Take Pastor Manning.  He doesn’t support Barack Obama.  In fact, Pastor Manning feels that Obama is “a long legged mack daddy” who hasn’t accomplished anything for anyone and he is offended that so many African Americans are supporting Obama simply because he is black.  Or as the Pastor points out — half black.

 I think the Pastor is supporting Hillary Clinton — he is very appreciative that former President Clinton opened an office in Harlem and spurred $250 million in investment in this area.  There is something very compelling about this video — I’ve watched it a couple of times — it’s just fascinating.

It Took Obama 20 Years To Figure Out What I Knew in 4 Minutes and 39 Seconds — Reverend Wright Hates America!

Barrack Obama has all but disowned Reverend Wright in a press conference. As many readers here know, I think that Obama lacks judgment. I find his “I will talk to anyone attitude” disingenuous. Senator Obama gave a speech and a press conference that did not put him in the best of light. He said it was not the Reverend that he knew, he said it was not what he stands for and what he is about. I again question his judgement.

The problem is we don’t really know who Obama is? We are learning and seeing the type of person he is now. It is so obvious that the Reverend was not taken out of context, that it was not a loop of a few statements over and over. Wright is an America Hater, He is a bigot with some lunatic opinions which Barrack Obama sat and listened to for 20 years. There is no way it was just a few sermons that Obama did not attend. This is who Wright is and it is obvious.  I predict that there will soon be people coming forward to say that Barrack was in church on some of those mornings.

If it was just Wright, he would survive. But the cumulative effect of Wright, William Ayers, bitter comments, his wife’s comments, the flag lapel pin, etc. are all tiny snowballs that rolled down a big mountain. What Wright did to Obama was paint him as a race candidate. Obama desperately tried to appear as the candidate of all the people. Now he has been painted as a black candidate and part of the worst of race based politics.

This is what stalled Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton’s aspirations.  Obama is done. 

Who is Raila Odinga And What Is His Connection To Obama?

Raila Odinga is the current President of Kenya and the leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).  Human Rights Watch has investigated ODM and claimed they organized ethnic-based violence in the Rift Valley of Kenya in order to take control of the disputed recent presidential election. In all, Kenyan police confirmed the deaths of 526 people nationwide.   Other reports have it as high as 1000 people killed.

Odinga’s campaign had an interesting theme to it  – ”Change”.  If that sounds familiar its because Obama campaigned for and supported Odinga.  Odinga claims to be a cousin of Obama.  Remember that photo of Obama in Muslim clothing in Kenya? That was during a visit to support and meet with Odinga.

Why didn’t Obama talk to Odinga and get him to stop the violence? This is how he proposes to solve our problem of evil people wanting to kill us. Will situations like this be political death for Obama as people finally start to learn who he is?

Pennsylvania Primary Analysis

Sorry for the late analysis on the Pennsylvania Primary. It was so exciting I fell asleep at 8:30 on Tuesday.

We keep hearing that Barack Obama is not stoppable and Hillary needs 60% of the remaining primaries to catch up in delegates. There are many problems with this. First of all we have 50 states. Last time I heard Florida and Michigan were part of the union. Florida is the 4th largest state. Remember how all the Democrats felt about Florida in 2000?

The next issue is the archaic Democratic system. Hillary won Texas big, almost by 5% of the vote, yet because of the double caucus Obama actually won more delegates! Obama seems to do well in caucus states. But when they have a conventional vote where MoveOn.org thugs can’t intimidate voters, Hillary does very well.

Right now Hillary is about 450,000 popular votes behind.  If you add Florida in she is ahead by a slim 20,000 votes.  If you include Michigan she is ahead by over 130,000 votes. I do not include Michigan because both were suppose to take their names off the ballot but only Obama did (is that smart by Hillary or dumb by Obama, what kind of President do you want?) [Read more →]
