Another Day, Another Hateful Preacher at Obama’s Church

May 30, 2008 · Filed Under Father Michael Pfleger ·  

Introducing Father Michael Pfleger, another friend of Obama who, like Reverend Wright, surely never said anything of this sort in the company of Obama.

Pfleger was on the advisory board for Obama’s campaign and has been referred to by Barack Obama as a “key source of spiritual guidance.”

Father Pfleger was speaking at Trinity United (aka Obama’s church) during an “Hour of Power” Sunday service dedicated to a “sacred conversation on race.”

National Review Online has a transcript of Pfleger’s comments.

Again, Obama had to issue a statement to try and explain away one of his associations:

“As I have traveled this country, I’ve been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that unites us. That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger’s divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which does not reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause.”

Barack sure has an interesting assortment of friends.

Maybe there should be a betting pool on the next skeleton to come out of Barack’s closet.

What About Your Friends, Obama?

There is an old saying, “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.” I think most anybody would say this is a truism, except hysterical Obama supporters.

When you look at some of the friends of Obama, there is Reverend Wright, who got quite a bit of attention for a time.

He’s an unapologetic racist and hate-monger.

And how about some of Barack Obama’s other pals, who haven’t gotten so much attention to date?

There is also Reverend James Meeks, who is a delegate pledged to Obama, and a Pastor with a penchant for racist rants.

William Ayers, 1960s-era radical and leader of the Weather Underground, is also cozy with Obama. Obama doesn’t think this should matter, because he was a wee youngster when Ayers was committing acts of domestic terrorism.

Back in January during a debate, Hillary Clinton mentioned Obama’s friend and renowned Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko.

Who else is out there?

For anybody keeping a tally, Obama’s friends include racist hate mongers, terrorists, and slumlords.

But he’s such an eloquent reader of speeches, so let’s make him President.

Ignorant Sheep Vote Against Barack Obama

May 19, 2008 · Filed Under News ·  

If only everybody knew the real Barack Obama, then everybody would vote for him.

That’s the word from Obama anyway on why he will lose Kentucky and got blown out in West Virginia…

“What it says is that I’m not very well known in that part of the country,” Obama said. “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.”

Obama has been trying to introduce himself to Kentuckians using a series of biographical TV ads, as well as fliers, including one that shows him at a pulpit in front of a church’s cross and pipe organ.

He acknowledged that he’s trying to “reverse a lot of misconceptions” about his background. He is a Christian, although some e-mail chains have said he is a Muslim.

“Part of it is because there have been these e-mails that have been sent out very systematically, presumably by various political opponents, although I don’t know who,” he said. “And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News. Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism or what have you since the beginning of the campaign.”

If Fox is guilty of anything, I’d say that they’ve reinforced that Obama is a Christian, since they’ve provided extensive coverage of Reverend Wright.

Sorry Barry, it’s as simple as this… not everybody buys what you’re selling.

The Reverend Wright Mess is Finished

May 17, 2008 · Filed Under Reverend Jeremiah Wright ·  

All of that stuff about the racist, hateful Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his association with Barack Obama is over.

You know why? Because that is what supporters of Obama say.

I’m afraid a decades long relationship doesn’t disappear, just because Obama supporters want it to go away.

Birds of a feather flock together.
