Like white segregationist George Wallace, Obama exploits racial divisions for political gain.

No one since white segregationist George Wallace has done more to stir up racial hatred in this country than Barack Obama and his “posse.” The fact that Obama has been reluctant to disown these racial fear-mongers goes beyond disturbing. It is an indication of his complicity in their strategy of mobilizing black voters by attacking “whitey.”

In just a few short months, we’ve had videos of Michelle Obama attacking whites and admitting her shame about being an American, and Rev. Wright with his now infamous black supremacist comments.

The latest anti-white video making the rounds shows Father Pfleger, a long-time Obama contributor, ranting against Hillary Clinton and white people. Like the other comments, this took place in Obama’s church, Trinity United Church of Christ.

The Clinton campaign has called on Obama to repudiate Father Pfleger’s “divisive, despicable comments.”

Twenty Inconvenient Truths about Barack Obama.

This from Michael J. Gaynor as posted on WebCommentary.com

When it comes to inconvenient truths about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., there are plenty.

Herewith, twenty.

1. Obama want to become the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America even though he has no military experience. Obama has much LESS military service than President George W. Bush or former Vice President Dan Quayle; NONE.

2. Obama want to become the Chief Executive Officer of the United States of America even though he has no executive experience and is a rookie United States Senator.

3. Obama promises to unify America, but non-partisan National Journal rated him the most liberal of the 100 United States Senators and voted against the confirmation of both Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr.

4. Obama’s most noteworthy accomplishment as an Illinois state senator was facilitating infanticide by blocking a bill to provide Fourteenth Amendment protection to babies (regardless of race) born alive as a result of botched abortions, which he rationalized as necessary to protect Roe v. Wade.

5. Less than four years ago, Obama was an Illinois state senator.

6. Obama became nationally known because those leftist United States Senators from Massachusetts, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, gave him the opportunity to deliver the keynote address at the 2004 Democrat national convention.

7. The person who Obama claims brought him to Jesus Christ and who conducted Obama’s wedding ceremony, baptized his children, served as his pastor for nearly twenty years and helped him become an Illinois state senator is Rev. Jeremiah A. “God damn America” Wright, Jr.

8. Obama claimed not to have heard Rev. Wright’s most outrageous and incendiary statements, but if he had not heard ABOUT them, why did he “disinvite” Rev. Wright to speak at the announcement of the Obama presidential campaign and even keep Rev. Wright off the stage (although they privately prayed together offstage), because Rev. Wright’s sermons could be “rough”?

9. Obama became a serious presidential contender because the liberal media vigorously promoted his candidacy instead of scrutinizing him.

10. Obama sounded like Karl Marx, the Father of Communism, when he said at a private fundraiser in San Francisco that people “cling” to “religion” as a result of “bitterness” over their economic circumstances.

11. America’s religious Founders also would have been aghast that Obama also said at the same elitist fundraiser that the constitutional right to bear arms is used by people in small-town America because they are “bitter” about their economic circumstances.

12. Black Community and Granny, beware what Obama might do to win. When the Obama-Wright connection finally became generally appreciated, Obama initially refused to “disown” Rev. Wright, claiming that doing so would be equivalent to disowning the Black Community or his white grandmother, but then “disowned” Rev. Wright after he became a bigger political problem.

13. White voters generally gave Obama the benefit of any doubt UNTIL Obama became the Democrat frontrunner and scrutiny of him revealed that he was NOT the kind of person those white voters had hoped he was. Evidence: The white populations in Iowa and West Virginia are about the same–94%. Obama dramatically won the Iowa caucuses by winning a plurality of the white vote against Hillary Rodham Clinton and 2004 Democrat vice presidential candidate John Edwards, among others, but in the West Virginia Democrat presidential primary last week, Hillary won 67% of the vote to Obama’s 26%, an astonishing 41 point victory margin, while Edwards, still on the ballot although he had suspended his campaign long ago, took about 6%. So barely one in four white voters in that primary picked the person the leftist media had been saying was the inevitable Democrat presidential nominee. Since Rev. Wright, followed quickly by “Bittergate,” Obama has not won the white vote in a single state.

14. If Obama’s Rev. Wright connection had been fully reported after Obama announced his candidacy in 2007, Obama’s presidential campaign would have collapsed long ago and his frontrunner status is dependent upon many delegates chosen by voters or caucusers who were igorant and/or deceived.

15. Obama charged that Senator McCain had lost his bearings, but it is Obama who said that there are 58 states (and he’d been campaigning in 57 states).

16. It is Obama who wants to keep the voters of Florida and Michigan disenfranchised in order to win the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination.

17. Obama is an affirmative action candidate: he wins more than 90% of the black vote and black voters are not accused of discriminating on the basis of race, but white voters who don’t support Obama are suspected abd even accused of racism for not supporting him.

18. Obama’s wife Michelle describes America as “mean” and discriminates on the basis of race in favor of blacks. As Michelle put it in her college senior thesis, she puts “the Black Community first and foremost.”

19. David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign chief, acknowledged that Obama has a “friendly” relationship with domestic terrorist (and now University of Illinois at Chicago professor) William Ayers, even though Ayers publicly asserted in 2001 that he was proud of bombing the Pentagon and wished he’d done “more.”

20. Obama lies to make himself seem like a person of destiny! Examples: (1) Obama went to Selma, Alabama and claimed that he had been born because his parents had been inspired by the Selma march in 1965, but he was born in 1961!; (2) Obama claimed that the Kennedys had brought his Kenyan father to the United States, but they had not; and (3) Obama claimed to have been a constitutional law professor, but he was merely a lecturer, NOT a professor, and professor and lecturer are NOT synonymous.

Ted Kennedy health care — why not for everyone?

Wouldn’t it have been nice if Ted Kennedy had supported Hillary and guaranteed that the same health care that is keeping him alive would be available to the 15 MILLION people left out under the Obama plan?

Obama Calls Female Reporter, “Sweetie.”

This from CNN –

“Barack Obama has personally apologized to a Michigan television reporter for referring to her as “sweetie” as she tried to ask a question.

The comment came earlier Wednesday when WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar asked Obama at a campaign stop, “How are you going to help the American auto workers?”

Obama told Agar to “hold on, sweetie,” and said he would address that issue with her later. Agar said she never got an answer to her question.”

Let’s see.

So far he has insulted working class Americans, the poor, the uninsured, patriotic Americans, women, Christians, Jews, and many whites who worry about his ties to the black supremacist, Rev. Wright.

Is there any group of Americans other than his elitist supporters that Obama has not insulted or showed his inability to relate to on a professional level?

His insults to women, this reporter in particular, explains why a womanizer like Ted Kennedy is working so hard for Obama.

Some of the reaction I have gotten about this suggests that some folks think it’s OK for Obama to call a female reporter, “sweetie.” I’ll bet there would be a lot more outrage if she had replied by calling him, “boy.” But she was too professional — unlike Obama — to use a slur in response to one. I probably wouldn’t be.

Personally, the most enjoyable aspect about making these posts is reading the pathetic, illogical contortions that Obama supporters will go through to justify their continued support for a flawed — morally, ethically, socially, and politically flawed — candidate.

Let’s hear it!

Barack Obama and John Edwards: One Elitist Joins Another.

Nineteen delegates? That’s all?

Before people get too worked up over John Edwards’ endorsement yesterday of Barack Obama, let’s remember that this “working class hero”  — i.e. Edwards — was run out of the Democratic campaign as a miserable failure and phony.

He managed just 19 delegates before he dropped out. The reason?

The man with the $400 haircuts had no credibility with working class Americans back then, and he doesn’t now. In fact, he joins another candidate, Barack Obama, whose main appeal is with wealthy Americans. The notion that his endorsement of Obama helps the Illinois Senator to connect with people who actually work for a living is outrageous.

Let’s remember a few things about Edwards:

As reported in an article called Estate of Denial, the New York Post had this to say about Edwards’ humble background –

The megarich Edwards, worth upwards of $30 million, is slated to use the very symbol of American blight as a political prop to announce his candidacy tomorrow: the Lower Ninth Ward of Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.

It’s a far cry from his new Shangri-La nestled amid soaring Carolina pines on a 100-acre estate outside of Chapel Hill.

“It’s one thing to be a millionaire, but it’s totally tone-deaf to be using Katrina victims while you’re putting the finishing touches on your multimillion-dollar mansion,” said one Democratic operative.

Edwards’ posh estate is a work in progress, with a recently completed 10,700-square-foot main mansion as its centerpiece.

The $3.1 million ritzy pad sports 10 rooms, 61/2 baths, two garages, a huge country kitchen with hardwood floors, and sweeping verandas to soak in the view of the verdant pasture.

Two other residences – one for 22-year-old daughter Cate and one for visiting friends and family – are already under way, according to Orange County, N.C., property records. A two-story, 6,366-square-foot mini-mansion is about 70 percent complete.

On the day that he dropped out of the race, the LA Times  pulled data from exit polls showing that Edwards, like Obama, did best among the wealthiest voters:

In New Hampshire, he finished third among lower-income voters, taking 16% of those earning less than $50,000 a year, according to media exit polls. He won 17% of those voters making more than $50,000. He won 11% of voters without high school diplomas and 18% of college graduates.

In the Iowa caucuses, he lost handily to both Obama and Clinton among voters with annual household incomes of less than $50,000 but took a quarter of those in households earning more than $50,000, beating Clinton in that category (and placing second in the state overall, his best showing in the campaign).

And a new Los Angeles Times/CNN survey of California Democrats, taken before Edwards dropped out, showed him performing far better among upper-income voters than lower-income voters.

Let’s also remember that this “man of the people” was one of the few who did not protest when ABC News and WMUR-TV decided to toss the “second tier” candidates out of the debate. Edwards generously told the Union Leader: “I’m staying out of that. I don’t get to set the rules for the debates. I’ll let the people who are in charge of the debates set the rules. And I’ll be there.” I bet the Biden, Dodd, and Kucinich supporters out there remember Edwards’ solidarity with “the people.”

On the campaign trail, Edwards’ campaign themes went nowhere with most Democratic voters. In calling for Edwards to quit the campaign, my local newspaper, the Citizen, had this to say:

Edwards was humiliated in the Nevada caucuses Saturday, attracting only 4 percent of the vote.

Edwards was jubilant when he finished second in the first test of the candidates in Iowa, but it was euphoria soon lost. He ended far behind Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in New Hampshire, sliding to attract only 17 percent of the Democrats and the unenrolled in the record turnout of Granite State voters.

Edwards tilts so far to the left it’s a wonder he doesn’t tip over. It’s been more evident in this campaign than previous ones. His has been liberal rhetoric like that right out of the early 1920s.

As Hillary Clinton demonstrated in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, that far left rhetoric of Edwards and Obama is not cutting it with middle class America. So, if Barack and his supporters want to believe that Edwards is an asset that will throw up a smoke screen to hide their elitist attitudes and policies, they are deluding themselves.

Edwards himself had this to say to NPR on May 9th about the value of his endorsement:

“I would not inflate the value of my supporting or endorsing any candidate. That’s blown way, way out of proportion.” He contends endorsements carry more weight with the media than with voters: “I don’t think they make a huge difference.”

And there’s no guarantee those 19 delegates Edwards won will switch to Obama. In the final analysis, Edwards reached out to Obama with an empty hand. No doubt he is hoping Obama will help fill it with a cabinet or VP offer.
