Obama: Republicans Are Trying To Make You ‘Scared Of Me’

"They're going to try to say 'well, you know, he's got a funny name' and 'he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five-dollar bills.'"

This kind of statement by Obama is a recurring thing. He has some real personal issues he has to reconcile. I do not mean this in a trivial, snarky context, but he has some Rev. Wright type feelings within himself that he needs to deal with.

Wrong, McCain is for oil exploration, Obama is for tire inflation. Those are ideas right?

This is vintage Obama! He is all fluff. Take away his teleprompter and he is a bumbler.

Don’t worry Obama, they’re reserving the $3 bill for your mug.

I really don’t need the repub. party to make me scared of this dolt.Inflate my tires and get regular tune-ups will end the oil and gas crisis???Imagine how fast it would be resolved if we just pushed our cars down the road.This has to be the most uninformed politician around in my life time.He is actually doing all of us an enormous favor however.Remember how stupid the media told us bush was or qualye??Obama is making them look like rhodes scholars everytime he opens his mouth and the media tells us how great and smart he is.Sure shows us all just how in the tank for stupidity the entire media is.They don’t really care what a complete dolt their boy is ,as long as he preaches their form of hate-America first bs.And he is helping prove just how true it must be that liberalism is a mental disorder,how else could any FREE thinking American fall for any of this hype or absolute stupidity from a presidential candidate.I am not impressed or fooled at all by this puppet,just concerned by who is pulling the strings.

Obama is a delusional neo-communist clown.

Is McCain the best candidate republicans can muster up — probably so at the this time in history due to, among other factors, the demonizing conservatives have taken in the press recently. However, it is common knowledge all what is in the press is not accurate (particularly the bias they give toward certain stories and people) – and worse yet, what they don’t report – which at times borderlines criminal activity.

Obama is not our messiah.

Obama is a political neophyte with zero legislative accomplishments and experience on both the state and federal levels. His run for the presidency started with his career as a community awareness activist in Chicago and he begin campaigning for the presidency of the United States shortly after becoming elected and prior to completing his first year as a junior senator. Does anyone ever recall that happening before?

Obama’s approach to public policy is aligned with the failed marxist ideals of communism only this time with a radical twist of Black Liberation Theology thrown in the mix. Look up Black theology and you’ll see exactly what I am talking about. He also pursues this election at the same time arguably harboring hatred towards white people in general.

This man is one of the more grossly unqualified candidates running for the most powerful political office on the planet that anyone can remember. Can somebody tell me – in a serious and accurate context – of anyone more unqualified that has ever run for this office? What has Obama ever accomplished? Can anyone tell me?

How about Obama’s 20-year “spiritual leader” – Jeremiah Wright – frothing at the mouth as he bellows his hatred of whitey, the Jews, and America. Jeremiah Wright has been said by Black Liberation Theology leaders as being one of the more progressive leaders of this movement. This coming from Wright’s own peers!

Noteable observations:

Obama’s woeful inexperience — compared to McCain with his military experience (which includes a highly successful command of a squadron and attainment of senior officer grade) and his nearly 20 years in the House and Senate, makes Obama look like an elitist radical leftist political amateur.

Obama’s constant flip-flopping and hypocrisy — e.g., among many other things — how he now seems to be stealing pages from the Clinton’s playbook, moving to the center, as part of his new attempt to seem less liberal for the purposes of the general election.

Obama’s confused desire to visit all 57 states (of Islam, presumably).

Obama doesn’t seem to know a capital gains tax from a cucumber salad, or a hedge fund from a hedgehog and now he is making proposals in the media to strengthen our economy.

Obama’s lapses in judgment, his lack of conviction, his constant backpedaling.

Has anyone thoroughly investigated any of Obama’s questionable relationships and the decisions he has made?
