During Saturday's Forum on Civility in Politics Comrade Obama made the following astonishing statement:
"I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade."
Barack Obama, Saturday August 16th, 2008 Saddleback Church Lake Forest, CA
The spin machine begins. During the entire hour that Comrade Obama answered questions from Pastor Rick Warren I was astounded that Comarde Obama continually equivocated. The aforementioned quote was the most egregious. The position that Comrade Obama took in the forum is diametrically opposed to his record. Some have posited that Comrade Obama was merely expressing his belief that he had a higher power in mind to "answer with specificity."
Hmmm...there seems to be a certain disconnect with that statement. Namely, Comrade Obama has a 100% voting record for abortion rights. 100%!!! Isn't that a little specific? It is for my taste, and that suits NARAL just fine. And, that record is not just one year:
Voting Record:
Sen. Obama received the following scores on NARAL Pro-Choice America's Congressional Record on Choice.
| 2007: |
100 percent |
| 2006: |
100 percent |
| 2005: |
100 percent |
Don't take my word for it, visit their site, they have much more to say on the issue of abortion, and they highlight Comrade Obama's position on the issue:
NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC endorses Sen. Barack Obama for President!
Sen. Obama is fully pro-choice. In his own words:
"A woman's ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women.
"I have consistently advocated for reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as President. I oppose any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling in this case.
Seems pretty specific to me in his own words, except when he appears before a crowd that disagrees with him. Comrade Obama is very good at obfuscating and equivocating. Senator McCain's position was very clear and concise when asked the question:
WARREN: At what point is a baby entitled to human rights?
MCCAIN: At the moment of conception.
No questions, no maybes, no equivocating. Senator McCain is clearly Pro-Life. His overall performance during the forum was nothing but spectacular. He was commanding, decisive and showed himself to be very presidential. Comrade Obama was equivocating and when he is off the teleprompter he gets himself into to trouble. One of his biggest gaffes was during the primaries when he was recorded saying that small town America clung to guns and religion and were bitter. This man is arrogant and dangerous. He is a radical leftist, he is not Left of Center as he has begun to portray himself (or rather how he is now being packaged to the American people).
Comrade Obama's performance, Oscar worthy, was notable for his lack of depth, his lack of life experiences. The Community Organizer came very close to saying that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was not experienced enough for the Supreme Court. His slip is noticeable on the recording. He began with ex...and then remembered that he shouldn't use that word and changed it midword to strong. Comrade Obama's experience is seriously lacking.
And, the more we get to know Comrade Obama the more we are frightened by the prospect of an Comrade President Obama. We need answers to some very unsavory associations that Comrade Obama has had. It seems to me that the man who led Comrade Obama to Christ, was the man who married Comrade Obama and Michelle, baptized the Obama children, and was the inspiration for the book Audacity of Hope, would have been mentioned at Saddleback. That blatant ommission was apparent, but there are other associations that need to be explored. Namely, just what role did
Saul Alinsky, another "community organizer," play in forming Comrade Obama's world view. Here is a small smattering of Alinsky from Investors Business Daily, Aug. 15, 2008:
Published a year before Alinsky’s death in 1972, “Rules for Radicals” includes a dedication in which he gives “an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical . . . who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least wonhisownkingdom—Lucifer.”
Alinsky’s writings even explain what often seems like Obama’s oversized ego.InNewHampshirein January, forexample, the senator told an audience that “a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany. . .and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.”
It was a bizarre spectacle, but consider that Alinsky believed that “anyone who is working against the haves is always facing odds, and in many cases heavy odds. If he or she does not have that complete self-confidence (or call it ego) that he can win, then the battle is lost before it is even begun.”
According to Alinsky, “Ego must be so all-pervading that the personality of the organizer is contagious, that it converts the people from despair to defiance, creating a mass ego.”
Alinsky also readily admitted that he didn’t trust the people themselves. “It is the schizophrenia of a free society that we outwardly espouse faith in the people but inwardly have strong doubts whether the people can be trusted,” he wrote. “Seeking some meaning in life,” the middle class, according to Alinsky, “turn to an extreme chauvinism and become defenders of the ‘American’ faith.”
This is evocative of Obama’s remark during the primaries that small-town Americans are “bitter”and “cling to guns or religion.”
Another radical that Comrade Obama is "friendly with" is Bill Ayers- the unrepentant demostic terrorist that didn't do enough by bombing the Pentagon, the NYPD, etc. We also need the full story about Comrade Obama's relationship with Toni Rezko.
There is enough stench around Comrade Obama to scare the bejeebers out of fly-over country voters. Redistribution of wealth, change, evil corporations (namely, big oil, and now big pharma), taxing the rich. Comrade Obama is dangerous to this country. He is an eloquent speaker, a smart guy, good looking (I guess), but what is underneath the surface needs to come to the fore. We know that the MSM is avoiding the real stories and pushing the fluff. Get the word out!!!
What say you?
