The Empire Strikes Barack

Let us be clear

I dare anyone with a working mind to listen to this half hour speech in its' entirety and then tell me this is "just another politician telling lies in order to get elected President."

-Barack Obama, Indianapolis IN May 3rd, 2008

The Race Card

Our Glorious former President on the record with racist lies:

Please compare and contrast that to Obama's rational reaction:

... while the President then lies about it to NBC News team later that same day:

Yes, Mr. President, you do have to take shit for your deception.
And while you are at it, take your wagging finger out of my face before I shove it up your own ass.

Now, as for your wife:

Hillary Clinton ... boldly linked Obama with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Wright with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. And when asked about Reverend Wright by The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Clinton declared, “Given all that we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor. While we don’t have a choice when it comes to our relatives, we do have a choice when it comes to our pastors or our church.”

Clinton is an inveterate liar — I am sorry, there is truly no other word for it — and as her ill-fated presidential campaign tumbles toward its inevitable demise, the personal deception that is at the core of her personality, and of her career, continues to reveal itself.

Only this past weekend, as Clinton continued to reference Reverend Wright in her stump speeches, the filmmaker Michael Moore reminded us that in 1998, Reverend Wright had actually been a guest at the Clinton White House, for a “prayer breakfast,” after Bill Clinton’s rather tawdry affair with intern Monica Lewinsky had been made public.

Thank you so much for your kind message," (President) Clinton wrote Wright after his visit. "I am touched by your prayers and by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across our country. You have my best wishes."

And guess what? According to the just released schedules of Hillary Clinton by the National Archives, she was in attendance at that breakfast, too. With the one-and-only Jeremiah Wright. While her husband was seeking salvation and forgiveness.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Finally, as the third-ranking Democratic Representative in Congress has it:

In an interview with The New York Times late Thursday, Mr. Clyburn said Mr. Clinton’s conduct in this campaign had caused what might be an irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African-American constituency that once revered him. “When he was going through his impeachment problems, it was the black community that bellied up to the bar,” Mr. Clyburn said. “I think black folks feel strongly that that this is a strange way for President Clinton to show his appreciation.”

-Quoted in the New York Times

Not so strange at all, Mr. Clyburn. Not at all. The two of them are congenitally unable to be truthful in their pursuit of fame and glory. I grew up in a dysfunctional family -- I can tell one when I see one.

My man got beat, but the Blue Team still leads

The following is transcribed from Sen. McGovern's speech Saturday night at the McGovern Day dinner in Sioux Falls.

This is the greatest country on the face of the earth, I still think that. But what a tragedy to have our reputation brought to the lowest level that any of us can remember. I'm sometimes charged with being a softie about war and national security.

Well, let me take one minute on that. When I was 19, Pearl Harbor was attacked. A few days later, I dropped out of college and volunteered to fly in the Army air corps and flew 35 missions over the most heavily defended targets in Europe. I've always been proud of that service in World War II; I've never had one day of regret that I participated in helping to smash Hitler's war machine. And let me just add this. There's never been a day in my adult life when I wouldn't have gladly sacrificed that life if America was faced with a genuine threat to our national security.

Some years ago, I was on one of the networks with former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, one of the chief architects of the war in Vietnam. But the reason I was on television that night is he had just come out with a new book saying that the war was not only it was a mistake, in his words it was a tragic mistake. Well, in the course of that three-way discussion, which included in addition to Secretary McNamara and myself, Sen. John McCain. And in McCain's first opening remarks, he said, well we all know that George McGovern knows little about national defense.

Let me tell you what I would say to John McCain: neither of us is an expert on national defense. It's true that you went to one of the service academies but you were in the bottom of the class. It's true that you were a pilot in Vietnam, that you were shot down and spent most of the war in prison and we all sympathize with that and honor you for your courage. But you and I both had these battle experiences, you as a Navy fighter plane, I as an army bomber. I am not going to criticize your war record and your knowledge of national security, but I don't want you criticizing mine either.

If I'd be allowed just one little dig at Senator McCain, since he gave me one. I would say, 'John, you were shot down early in the war and spent most of the time in prison. I flew 35 combat missions with a 10-man crew and brought them home safely every time.'

Nyaah ... nyaah .. nyahh ...
