Here is yet another reason that liberals and Obama need to be watched and not alowed more control. You don't hear aout this even on fox. Why because to many RINO's have signed on to this poor legislation. Another attack on our hard earned money.

A BILL
To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Global Poverty Act of 2007'.


SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:

(1) More than 1,000,000,000 people worldwide live on less than $1 per day, and another 1,600,000,000 people struggle to survive on less than $2 per day, according to the World Bank.

(2) At the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, the United States joined more than 180 other countries in committing to work toward goals to improve life for the world's poorest people by 2015.

(3) The year 2007 marks the mid-point to the Millennium Development Goals deadline of 2015.

(4) The [Struck out->]United Nations [<-Struck out] Millennium Development Goals include the goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, that live on less than $1 per day, cutting in half the proportion of people suffering from hunger and unable to access safe drinking water and sanitation, reducing child mortality by two-thirds, ensuring basic education for all children, and reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and malaria, while sustaining the environment upon which human life depends.

(5) On March 22, 2002, President George W. [Struck out->]Bush stated

←→[<-Struck out] Bush participated in the International Conference on Finance for Development and endorsed the Monterey Consensus, stating
: `We fight against poverty because hope is an answer to terror. We fight against poverty because opportunity is a fundamental right to human dignity. We fight against poverty because faith requires it and conscience demands it. We fight against poverty with a growing conviction that major progress is within our reach.'.

(6) The 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States notes: `[A] world where some live in comfort and plenty, while half of the human race lives on less than $2 per day, is neither just nor stable. Including all of the world's poor in an expanding circle of development and opportunity is a moral imperative and one of the top priorities of U.S. international policy.'.

(7) The 2006 National Security Strategy of the United States notes: `America's national interests and moral values drive us in the same direction: to assist the world's poor citizens and least developed nations and help integrate them into the global economy.'.

(8) The bipartisan Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

←→released in 2004
recommends: `A comprehensive United States strategy to counter terrorism should include economic policies that encourage development, more open societies, and opportunities for people to improve the lives of their families and enhance prospects for their children.'.

(9) At the summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) nations in July 2005, leaders from all eight participating countries committed to increase aid to Africa from the current $25,000,000,000 annually to $50,000,000,000 by 2010, and to cancel 100 percent of the debt obligations owed to the World Bank, African Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund by 18 of the world's poorest nations.

(10) At the United Nations World Summit in September 2005, the United States joined more than 180 other governments in reiterating their commitment to achieve the [Struck out->]United Nations [<-Struck out] Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

(11) The United States has recognized the need for increased financial and technical assistance to countries burdened by extreme poverty, as well as the need for strengthened economic and trade opportunities for those countries, through significant initiatives in recent years, including the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.), the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, and trade preference programs for developing countries, such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (19 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.).

[Struck out->](13)

←→[<-Struck out] (12)
In January 2007, the Department of State's Office of the Director of Foreign Assistance added poverty reduction as an explicit, central component of the overall goal of United States foreign assistance. The official goal of United States foreign assistance is: `To help build and sustain democratic, well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty and conduct themselves responsibly in the international (14) Economic growth and poverty reduction are more successful in countries that invest in the people, rule justly, and promote economic freedom. These principles have become the core of several development programs of the United States Government, such as the Millennium Challenge Account.system.'.

Calendar No. 718


110th CONGRESS

2d Session

S. 2433

[Report No. 110-331]

A BILL
To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bottom line ... it will cost you and me 0.7% of gross national product, or an additional $845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid expenditures.

Just how deep does Congress think our pockets really are. The house seems to think they are pretty deep as they passed this, (H.R. 1302) earlier by a unanimous voice vote in the House. Now this is on the docket. A Senate vote is scheduled sometime after the July 4 recess, according the office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Once Harry Reid and the Democrat leadership put it on the calendar, we could have as little as a week to prepare for the vote.

Obama has this to say about his redistribution of our money:

"With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces," said Senator Obama. "It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and ensuring every child has food, shelter, and clean drinking water. As we strive to rebuild America's standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in the developing world. Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing corporate profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere."

I ask Obama, what about those in our own country. Our fellow countrymen who need aid. How about relief funds for those who are suffering from the rageing wildfires and floods that are ongoing and will start again next year?

Instead of sending our money to be managed by the United Nations, how about doing the job they were hired for (eleceted) and take care of this country FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if I will be put on a list somewhere as a racist because I know this is bad legislation. Bad legislation sponsered by Barrack Hussien Obama.

Handouts and freebies only breeds contempt.

Here we go again. Only this time the potheads are wanting to force the rest of us. Those of us who do not want to go around in life in a daze. Those of us who want to remain sober and straight. Those of us who know the truth that drugs, even marijuanna is bad for you, to inhale their mind altering substances.

Even though smokers have been regulated to a second class citizen status there are still some places that provide an area for smokers to kick back and enjoy their LEGAL habit. However here in Denver a group of, for lack of a better way to phrase it. A group of dope smoking idiots want to force regular smokers and the general public to inhale their crap.

Seeing how many Airports do provide a designated smoking area. basically a closed off room that has no ventilation, is not very well marked, and never cleaned. Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), is the group that thinks they can flaunt their ILLEGAL habits even further in front of the law and those of us who know better on drugs

The claim is that there are too many alcholic inccidents in and on airplanes and airports. That by provideing an area to smoke pot will reduce these inccedents. The claim is that marijuanna calms people down and makes them more relaxed, therefore provideing a more agreeable passanger.

Unfortunately Denver three years ago passed a law making possesion of 1 once or less legal. This opened the door for these morons to try and push their dope on to the rest of us.

Dope may be legal in Denver but it is not legal in the rest of the state. Unfortunatley the law does not enforce the laws very well here in Colorado as the annual Boulder smokein produced 10,000 plus brain dead potheads earlier this year as Boulder police stood around with their thumbs up thier backsides. Refuseing once again to enforce the laws because they were afraid of having to process all the law breakers.

As Gov. Bill Ritter and the demowhipped p.c. state legislature actually here's the make believe data and waste more tax payers money instead of looking at real issues. One can only wonder how long it will be before the average smoker has to find anew place to smoke while LAWBREAKERS get special treatment.

The socialist have stepped foward and are showing their true colors now. there is no more denying that the democratic party is not democratic. They are SOCIALIST!!!!

This is scary as hell people. It is time that people wake up and see just what is going on. With the socialist coming out today and stateing blatently that they want to nbationalize the oil refinery buisness is bold. This is the first step in removeing the Constitution of the United States.

When a government siezes control in the guise of we can do it better, it is a move on individual rights. The right to better onesself and have a higher standard of living.

This is what the socialist (democratic imposter) party is doing. As more and more countries around the world are learning. Socialism DOES NOT WORK. They are going back to a capitalistic way. When will we learn. We are allowing these socialist to take over and destroy this country and the principles it wqas founded upon.

Is there any one out there that can, with a straight face, tell me that this is whatthe founding fathers wanted. A government that siezes individual companies/corporations, then dictates to them how much they can make.

Our country was founded on the belief that we can improve our selves and make something of ourselves. That by the sweat of our brow and the imagination of our minds, create and produce a better life.

Socialism does nothing more then punish people for striving to better themselves all the while lineing its pockets with the hard work of the citizenry.

Nationalising the oil refineries is not the way to help solve the current increase of the cost of fuel. Especially when the government makes four (4) times as much money per gallon then the oil companies.

The false call that the oil compamies are refuseing to drill for oil and look for alternative energies is the biggest lie next to " Hi, I am you represenitive and I am here to represent you".

The lie that there is no ban on off shore drilling is yet another myth. Florida under Jed Bush banned drilling off shore. Remember that dems? I wonder why they haven't said anything about that being a repugnant that did it.

This election year is getting really scary folks. Our way of life is really under the biggest threat it has ever faced. Not only do we have terrorist that want to kill every last one of us. We seem to have a government that is sympathetic to them, a candidate that lacks any experiance, also sympathetic to certain antiAmerican factions. But now from within the true colors are out. A socialist movement that is running one of the two major political parties and want to start taking away individual and corporate practices, and change our way of life. We have to take the slogan to heart. "Take America back"

Thats what all moderates and conservatives need to do. The leftists will still try to destroy the Bill of Rights. They will still work as hard as ever to impose their will on the backs of the citezens.

But for them to say take back America is a LIE!!!!!!!!!!!
they want to take over America, and nationalization of industry is the first step.

Thats what the 9th circut court of appeals has now said. The Service Employees International Union (SEUI), in California won a big endorsment for their open boarder prohispanic fraud support. In a case that involved 33 janitors in Los Angeles who were fired because their Social Security numbers did not match the government’s database. Uh, S.S.N. identity theft in order to work? A fraud. A crime that ruins American CITIZENS lives.

Aramark, the company that was OBEYING THE LAW, and checking social security numbers to the national registry of names and numbers found that 33 employees were useing a number that was not theirs. So they, the 33, were fired. However SEUI said this was unfair and filled a wrongful termination suit and won.

This case, a clear example of how a company can use this data base to determin if an employees is legal or not. Is punished by OBEYING THE LAW. All the while those who support and continue to BREAK OUR LAWS are rewarded. The court ordered that Aramark reinstate these IDENTITY THEFT (migrants who use identites Americans won't) criminals along with packpay that they missed out on after they were fired.

This is another fine example of how our JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS BEING PERVERTED AND DESTROYED. While SCOTUS rules in favor of those who want to kill us and destroy our way of life. Lower courts are ruling against law abiding companies and citizens in favor of criminals.

GOD HELP THIS SINKING COUNTRY!!

I do not care how you spin this last foolhardy policy idea that Barack and his minons have hatched, it comes down to this. He has no intention of fighting the war on terrorists.

This stupid idea of giving Constitutional rights to those who do not support, want, but want to eliminate. It is just a sham.

Lets face it any first year paralegal will argue in court for a change of venue claiming that thier terrorist client cannot receive a fair trail do to the media coverage of certain acts.

Then any liberal judge will agree and send these dogs somewhere out of this country where they will be released by a government that does not like America.

To allow these vile, oppressive, towel wearing, thirteenth centuary hitmen a day in CIVIL court is a slap to all those who have died world wide in the cowardly attacks commited by these murderers.

It is a complete sell out of this country, our principles, and as the left wants to scream, HUMAN RIGHTS/JUSTICE.

To any one out there that thinks that there may be good fortune in the mail. LOL, beware. After opening this afternoons mail. I was intrigued by a cashiers check I recieved. Now this one was accompanied by a letter titled CONSUMER'S REWARD PROGRAM.

Letter head of a Welch Finacial Group, 231 Denver River Drive, Buffalo 40214.
Being the pessimist that I am I thought wait a minute. I do my shopping at Wal Mart and since when does Wal Mart do lotteries for customers?

The letter went on to say that I had won a share of $480,000, my cut $39,000. That is of the North American Winners. All participants were selected randomly by computer from consumer data bases. Now this ran a huge red flag up the pole. One I do a cash business. Having learned the hard way the sins of credit and credit debt. So my name is not on a consumer data base. I do not even have a King Soopers or Safeway card. I let the cashier use her key to get me the discounts.

I take economics at its very basic now. If you have it then fine, if you don't? THEN DO NOT SPEND IT.

Any ways the letter continued to go on and say contact either a Louis Bailey or Angela West at 1-905-598-3654. Now i am curious so I called. No answer. I called again thinking maybe a misdial. Nope a recording that said there is no more room for recorded messages.. Another red flag. Why would a couple of assumed lawyers not have a secretary answering the phones , especially if it is a finacial group. Why is the number for California and not Buffalo NY?

Ok one last thiong to do before throwing this letter in the circular file after shredding it. Call the bank who issued the check.

The bank is Santa Barbara Bank and Trust out od Solana Beach California. I googled them and then called. My first questoin to the nice lady is why the address on the check did not match the address on the web site? She laughed.

Second question was who is the Welch Finacial Group? Again she laughed.

Before I could inquire any more she described the cashier check I was holding down to the routing numbers. (MAJOR RED FLAG)

Then telling me exactly word for word what my letter said she nicely asked that this check not be cashed and that I notify my personal bank that this was a scam and now in Colorado. A new state to her but the same old scam.

I thought the letter was rather peculiar when it asked me to mail back the exact amount of the check to cover a "luxery tax". But seeing how I do not recieve cashier checks everyday. I had to investigate a little.

Another google search does respond with several others on the consumers for consumers webpage talking about this scam. However their banks seem to be from Texas not California.

So should you receive a cashiers check in the mail please be warned. Do not cash it or take it to seriously. It is a scam if they ask for money. No lottery will do this. It is the winners responsibbility to make sure that they pay all taxes associated with a monitary prise.

Also there is no Laura Clawson listed as a vice president at the Welch Finacial Group.

With each day more and more truth is exposed about the lack of expoeriance candidate the democrats are putting forth. In his wisdom of trying to deny what he calls rumores and slurs. He has put together a internet hacking group that is supposedly trying to stem false rumors. The only problem is that what they call slurs and rumors is the truth.

Though many of these truths are spun in a deceptive way (a democratic trick that the repugs are learning fast). They raise too many questions about Obamas charector, ability, and most importantly his associations.

A few of these incidents that they are to look into:

1) The Michelle tape -- already discredited by Rush Limbaugh but being spun as his fault. A FALSEHOOD, LEFTISTS SPIN.

2) Connections to Rezko --- to many questions of association to just ignore and leave as a slur

3) His church affiliation --- main question, as a member of 20 years how can one say they never heard the racist rants of Rev. Wright.

4) Association to houseing lenders and possible political favors in home loans -- under investigation but being spun as racist and inconsequential.

5) Obamas connection to Islamic fundemental teachings, terrorists in Kenya, and a dislike of Islreal.

All these with the exception of Michelle have more then enough evidance to look into and raise queations about. The Michelle incident is one that the left itself ran with first, with the aid of the looser Bob Beckel (a political hack that gets too much credit on anything. Twice loser in campaign strategies, a quilt ridden white man who blames America and the white man first when it comes to all matters. And a leftist who loves the color of money i.e. hypocrit.

As many right wing blogs look into rumors and allegations, often dispelling them at the git go. Obamas little jack boot squad is assembleing a list of those who oppose him on principle, not race. RThe question is what are they going to do with this list? We all have the sinking feeling that should Obama get elected or McCain for that matter the censorship known as the fairness doctrine will get passed. This socalled fairness is just a way of censoring and shutting down those who oppose on an ideological basis those on the left. Will Obamas jackboots use their list to shut down opposeing views and opinions?

Will leading blogs like Michelle Malkin, Atlas Shrugs, The Drudge report, Little Green Footballs, Ruch Limbaugh, Micheal Savage, and even this little blog of opinion be shut off?

Even though facts are reported and incedents investigated. The left is calling it all slurs and racist rants. Therefore trying to use the p.c. cover of hate speech to close and censor dissenting views. This little groups of wannabve players could be very dangerous and instead of trumpeting freedom as they think, walk hand in hand more with gestopo tactics and brown shirt enforcement.

The average American be he dem or repug needs to look over their shoulder and think long and hard about what is being put into place. How it will effect them and restrict their opinions and thoughts.

In the battle cry of " stop the rumors", it is more of a hit list against those who oppose Obama then anything else.

Well maybe the rumors will be put to rest nowe. the announcement of a new show on Fox should settle this. The rumors concern Laura Ingraham. Many have speculated that she was being punished , or a self imposed exile of a non determined length was keeping her from the airwaves of radio.

Anyone who follows her show knows she has been off the air now for a while. Normally heard on 710 KNUS Newstalk radio here in Denver at 7 in the morning. She has often, in the last few years been seen on Fox news either as a sit in for Bill O'Rielly or as a Fox news contributor.

Now she will have her own show once again. The show is titled "JUST IN". Another political opinion show.

Having met the woman on several occasions, and taking note of how she used to run her show and how she runs it now. I wonder why she would move to video over radio. Her show prep is indepth and scripted to the nano second. An oppresive and sometimes overbearing attitude by her and her staff can be very intimidateing when she comes into a studio. Especially if her starbucks is not perfect. But the product that comes out is of a excellent quality. That is if you side with her opinion of a topic.

The staff of "Tree of Liberty", wish her well in her adventure on Fox. However as far as being a devoted fan, not. Maybe a fair weather viewer from time to time is all.

In a landmark, end of Constitutional authority decision, by a vote of 5 to 4 SCOTUS has sold this country out to those who will use our system of justice to their advantage and screw us over.

Justice Scalia sumed it up best on his summary. “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.”

In a 25 page dissenting opinion. Justice Scalia has harsh, but truthful words to say.
“The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.” said Scalia.

Just what exactly has SCOTUS done. Well they have granted habeas rights to prisoners of war. Not just the average prisoners but under the Geneva convention, rights to ILLEGAL COMBATANTS.

Basically in a nut shell what the court has done. The court is now allowing combatants from foriegn nations not only in the war on terror but any future wars to file papers stateing that they are being held against their will (well duh thats what happens when one is captured on the field of battle), and seek release and punitive damages for their imprisonment.

This decision aslo allows the lawyers from the left (ACLU) who oppose America defending itself to set foriegn policy and dictate war strategy.

On a plus note. To combat this ASSININE decision the military may just refuse to accept prisoners of war. This will eliminate the burden of the tax payer paying for the defense of those who want to kill us. It also means that these cretins captured have to sit in jail while their appeals are filed and processed. Three squares and a hot cot. Better then what most had before their capture.

Well with a huge deadline coming up. The city of Denver and the Colorado DNCC seem to be a little short on their goals (nothing new there) but this is a finacial goal. One that needs to be met. Or so claimed by all.

$40.6 million dollars needs to be found in a short period of time. The time is fivce days. Thats over 6 million a day. Sounds like a lot of money huh? Nope not really. There are huge finacial backers to the Democrat party with very deep, deep, I mean deep pockets that can step up and help out.

Fist is Georgey Porgy Sorryass Soros. With all the money he throws out to propaganda and spin doctors ,like MoveOn.org. A 40.6 million donation to Denver is nothing to keep his agenda of socialism alive and well.

Then there is the man who this whole debacle is being thrown. Why not go to Barack Hussien Obama and say look this is your party, how about helping pay for your forced inauguration? I mean that is a no brainer. Seeing how he is able to find money on the internet in the millions over night.

Then there are ways of cutting back on expenditures. I mean even the DNC realized nothing is for free as of yet. They cut back on their large obnoxious parties from somewhere around 28 to 1 now.

Trickenlooper can cut back on some of the show and go he has built into the DNC convention. All the free tours and swag to be given out. How about cutting back on the swag ?

Another factor not being mentioned is the inflated rates that will be set for parking. Of coarse the only ones having to pay that will be the citizens of Denver who work and live here. The parking and shuttle buses will be free for the convention goers. The tab? Well that will be picked up by you and me.

As pointed out on Michelle Malkins web page. Obama is refuseing to release his birth certificate. The state of Hawaii does not publish said certificates as public record.

Now this brings up several questions. Once more questions that Barack Hussien Obama does not want to answer.

1) Is it not fair after a push by Obamas campaign for McCain to release his birth certificate that he not do the same.

2) What does the certificate say that would be damaging to Obamas campaign if released.

3) Questions floating around concern that his given name is Barry and not Barack. His middle name Muhommad instead of Hussien. Will the certificate clarify this?

4) If Baracks given name is Barry Muhommad and not Barrack Hussien, why did he change it, and why does it matter so? Unless it goes back to his madrassa teachings when in Indonesia.

5) Is there something more that we the voter need to see on this certificate?

Presidential candidate john McCain has always been a socialist. He in no way is a conservative. Now as the main election campaigning comes his colors are showing. John McCain wants to put a cap on the pay of CEO's. Now if this doesnt smack of socialism then the defintion needs to be changed.

McCain says: "Americans are right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs ... bear no relation to the success of the company or the wishes of shareholders," adding that some of those chief executives helped bring on the country's housing crisis and market troubles.

"If I am elected president, I intend to see that wrongdoing of this kind is called to account by federal prosecutors. And under my reforms, all aspects of a CEO's pay, including any severance arrangements, must be approved by shareholders".

Now there are seeral falsehoods in his statement here. First is that the Ceo's are responsible for the ouseing crisis. In no way does this broad stroke incompass all CEO's. His statement is very misleading. The fact we are in a houseing crisis is because of over building and morgage companies ( this does ot include the auto industries CEO's, noe high tech CEO's), were greedy and the buyer was simply stupid.
So many people who wanted a second home or a rental for profiet were to damn guillable in their egerness to sign on the dotted line. Buy not paying attention to the terms of a very poor morgage they themselves put the payment out of their range of living. McCain broadly tries to have everyone think that all CEo's are to blame, when in fact it is buyer bewere.

Now , though I dislike the golden parachutes given to some execs on their retirement or shood I say fireings from poor managment. It is not the governments job to set limits on this. Any company that is openly tradeing its stock is responsible to its shareholders. There is a board of trustees that are supposed to be watching oout for the shareholders best interests. If the shareholders, like in a political election do not pay attention to what is happening then it is their fault that croanism sets in and these salaries and golden parachutes are handed out.

McCain, like Obama would have the government step in and control a free market. This is SOCIALISM.

As I said in the2004 when McCain wanted to run then, that he was a closet socialist. Now again I say it , but he is out of the closet. Unfortunately we have no conservative candidate in which to vote for.

Over on the great blog ATLAS SHRUGS. Several questions are raised in a scathing articale about Obamas college record.

As a student at Harvard Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review. Elected in just after the standards were changed and lessened in the academic area.

Questions raised about this are thus.

1) What was Obamas grade point average while in college?

2) Why did Obama never write a review paper as sitting president as all others before and after have?

3) What law firms did Obama spend time with during his summers to add to his law resume?

4) Why is there major discrepentcies on clerkships supposedly held/denied/turned down by Obama and those he claims to have associated with?

5) (now here is a kicker) What is the real story of the law suit brought forth against Harvard by activists wanting diversity in the Harvard academia staff, Barack Obamas appointment to President of the Law Review, and the resignation of Derrick Bell, a black law professor.

Now the artical tries to imply a lack of intelligence on Obamas part. However the read I got was not a lack of but a cunning, backroom , back stabbing ability to manipulate those who may have opposed Barack and his self promoting agenda.

Ok, now that the Dems seem to be ready to crown Obama as their savior from the " oppresive republicans", who buy the way have the MINORITY in this do nothing congress. It is time for the gloves to come off and examine the real Obama and the liberals who want to tax, spend, and eliminate our rights.

Let it be known that in no way am I a Obama supporter. This being said let it be known that I do not support the republican socialist candidate of McCain either. However between the two. McCain will screw things up the least.

Lets look at a platform that is just now getting some attention. Obama made this statement ove a year ago but for some reason even the great MahaRushie is just now learning about it.

This is the pandering to the leftist elite that we can look foward to under Obamas lack of experiance and leadership.

Barack Hussien Obama said the following, the Caucus for Priorities, an antiAmerica group that thinks we should bend to foriegn will and subjegate ourselves to foriegn domination.

Obama said this:

As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus for Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington. First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning -- and as president, I will end it. Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material, and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals. You know where I stand.

Whats wrong with this? Well first of all Obama was not in office to vote against the war. What he thinks is wasteful spending on defense systems and tech, are what has provided key eliments to our safety. Not to mention that these systems have enhanced our life styles. An example that we use every day would be the GPS systems known as onstar and the hand held units people take on camping, hiking and rafting trips.

Now the big one is the fact he wants to eliminate our nuclear defense. The one thing that really brought the Soviet union to its knees. The threat of total destruction. This is what keeps the wolves at bay. But Obama would have us defensless while terrorist develope and lan to use said weapons.

Obama would have us stand down on all fronts that there is danger at and give way to those who hate and want to destroy us. What kind of leadership is this?

This is not leadership, nor is it hope. It smacks of a Chamberlin approach to self destruction.

As the democratic party sinks further into its self deluted left wing utopian views of George "I hate America " Soros. We have a repete of history. The history that leads to major problems includeing war.

Those of you in the democratic party ned to look deeply into what the party once stood for. Then look at the back room dealings being made and the selling out of those ideas and principles. All in the name of putting an unqualified candidate from the left in office.

Charles Krauthammer has a column that is a bit old but sums up Obamas lack of understanding, education , and foriegn policy idiocy.

Obama's Growing Gaffe
By Charles Krauthammer

" Such rhetorical flailing has done more than create an intellectual mess. It has given rise to a new political phenomenon: the metastatic gaffe. The one begets another, begets another, begets ... "

The last two sentances of the column say it all but please copy and paste the web addy and read it.

As to who supports Obama. Wel it does read as a whos who on the I hate America list.

Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (unofficially of coarse)

The New Black Panther Party

Louis Farrakhan

pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr

isnt this a list of supporters to be proud of.


Just a few things to chew on about Obama. Consider it and thik hard how he and other leaders of the Democratic party are really alienating their party members. Not counting their votes or listening to their wishes.
