I would like to hear from the Obamaphiles why their hero lies all the time. Lies about things that can be checked easily enough and shows him to be just another lying politician. And he has also padded his résumé--to be sure he has held some pretty nifty titles but what did he actually DO with any of the opportunities he had other than to enrich himself and use the titles as stepping stones to the next highest position on the political totem pole? For those who want examples of his lies, here are just a few: 1. The "I will not run" lie: During a meeting with reporters at his Illinois campaign headquarters after his election to the U.S. Senate, he ridiculed as "a silly question" whether he would run for president or vice president before his term ends in 2011. "I’ve never worked in Washington," he said. "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois." 2. The "I'm still not running" lie: On "Meet the Press," Tim Russert and Obama had the following exchange: Russert: "When we talked back in November of '04 after your election, I said, 'There's been enormous speculation about your political future. Will you serve your six-year term as United States senator from Illinois?'" Obama: "I will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed." Russert: "So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?" Obama: "I will not." 3. His "I'm a Christian" lie: In a small-town café in Pleasantville, Omaha, Obama was asked a question that typically only circulates on the Internet. As he sat down to have a slice of pie with a small group of potential voters and an elderly woman asked him about being Muslim. "I've always been a Christian," the Illinois Democrat responded. "I have never practiced [Islam]." Note: The newspaper editors had to add the word, "Islam." In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran. He was enrolled in two Jakarta schools as a Muslim. His teacher Tine Hahiyary said that she remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)." Classmate Rony Amiris described Obama as being a very devout Muslim, saying, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam." Another classmate, Emirsyah Satar, now the CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, "He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a 'sarong.'" (See Obama's Education.) Yet, on his official campaign website, Obama has posted this statement, "Barack has never been a Muslim or practiced any other faith besides Christianity." Obama's grandfather was a Muslim. Obama's father was a Muslim. Obama's stepfather was a Muslim. His African relatives are Muslims. What was he for the 27 years before his alleged conversion if he wasn't a Muslim? If Obama has always been a Christian, why was he enrolled in two Jakarta schools as a Muslim, and why did he study the Quran? And note his Clintonesque defense, "I have never practiced." But that's not what Obama's sister says -- in an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." (Alternate link) I assume Maya thinks of her brother, Obama, as a member of her family? And, the Jerusalem Post reports that Barack Obama's half brother Malik said, if elected, his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background. This is Obama's biggest problem -- his dissimulation. Saying, "I've always been a Christian," is a bold-faced lie. 4. His lie about ten thousand people dying in tornadoes: Obama, caught up in the fervor of a May 2007 campaign speech, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died. "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser. How many actually died? TWELVE! 5. His lie about gas mileage, American cars versus foreign cars: Obama botched his facts in a speech criticizing the U.S. auto industry for "investing in bigger and faster cars while foreign competitors invested in more fuel-efficient technology." Obama stated that "while our fuel standards haven't moved from 27.5 miles per gallon in two decades, both China and Japan have surpassed us, with Japanese cars now getting an average of 45 miles to the gallon." But Toyota, which should know, has responded, "No carmaker gets 45 mpg; ours is closer to 30 mpg." Well, we're glad to see Obama's shifting the blame from the consumer to the automakers. That must explain why the Illinois Senator and Presidential candidate owns a HEMI-powered V8 Chrysler 300C. Obviously it's Chrysler's fault Obama bought a big 5.7-liter engine from them -- he just didn't have a choice. 6. Four lies in one speech: LAS CRUCES, N.M -- Despite not having served in the military himself, Barack Obama used his Memorial Day remarks to speak about his family’s service. "My grandfather marched in Patton’s army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you," he told a small group of veterans here. And speaking of his typical white grandmother, he said -- "My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have." Obama also spoke about his typical white uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. First lie! -- Wow! Very dramatic! The problem is that Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on January 27th, 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Obamessiah used as a child. The Allies were wrapping up the battle of the bulge in late January of 1945 -- the Rhine crossings were still well into the future when Auschwitz was liberated. Either Obama’s uncle served in the Red Army, or he’s spinning Clintonesque lies about Auschwitz to sell his government programs. Hey, it’s for a good cause…but it’s not enough for him. It has to be personal. It has to be all about him. Second lie! -- Obama has no uncles. His mother Anna was an only child, and Obama Sr. had two sisters. Oh, it's not a lie, his campaign says he made a mistake -- he just made another gaffe in the growing collection of documented Obama's gaffes -- it was his great-uncle and it was a sub-camp of Buchenwald, but who cares about these little details, right? AGAIN? -- well, it turns out that he's told this tale before, in 2002 -- except he identifies his typical white grandfather as the liberator. "My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain." Third lie! -- Obama's grandfather enlisted on June 18, 1942. Fourth lie! -- In his autobiography, "Dreams of My Father," Obama states his grandfather never engaged in combat. "Gramps returned from the war never having seen real combat, and the family moved to California, where he enrolled at Berkeley under the GI bill." -- Berkeley?????? 7. Obama, tells the crowd at fundraiser , "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution." For the record, Obama is a "Senior Lecturer (on leave of absence)" at the University of Chicago Law School. He has taught Constitutional Law III: Equal Protection and Substantive Due Process, Current Issues in Racism & the Law, and Voting Rights & the Democratic Process. The University of Chicago released a statement Thursday saying Sen. Barack Obama "served as a professor" in the law school -- but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed on Friday. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an assistant dean for communications and lecturer in law at the school. Another university spokesman, Josh Schonwald, said the Obama campaign did not request that the statement be issued and that it was posted because reporters were calling the school with questions about Obama's status. The university statement said, "From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School." The school probably did not mean to imply that Obama became a University of Chicago professor a year out of law school. But the word "served" is key -- Nagorsky said Obama carried out, or served, a function of a professor -- teaching a core curriculum course -- while at the same time not holding down that rank. At issue in a Clinton memo was Obama's claims -- most specifically on several direct mail pieces produced for his 2004 U.S. Senate race -- that said he was a law professor at the university. Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991. He was a lecturer at the U. of C. law school between 1992 and 1996. During that time, he was an attorney at the law firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland. In his first years of teaching, he had only one course. He was promoted to senior lecturer in 1996, and his teaching load eventually increased to three courses a year, less than the load of a professor. Obama won a state Senate seat in 1996. He maintained his senior lecturer post from 1996 to 2004, when he took a leave to run for the U.S. Senate. Nagorsky said there is a major distinction between a lecturer and senior lecturer, though neither is a full-time position. She said the status of a senior lecturer is "similar" to the status of a professor and that Obama did teach core courses usually handled only by professors. Obama's appointment was not part of an academic search process, and he did not have any scholarly research obligations. There are several easily found and easily disproven tales of the Obamasiah. On to the résumé padding. United States Senator, Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, Harvard Law Review President-each of these titles puts him in rarefied company. Tack on a few Illinois State Senate terms, and his resume actually appears solid. Yet, as we all know, appearances can be deceiving (and never more so than in the case of the Obamasiah). For that is all it is, smoke and mirrors and no real accomplishments. Is that unkind to the Obamasiah? Perhaps, judge for yourself. Take Obama's first general election ad. We are told that Obama "passed laws" that "extended healthcare for wounded troops who'd been neglected," with a citation at the bottom to only one Senate bill: The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, which passed the Senate by a 91-3 vote. Six Senators did not vote-including Obama. Nor is there evidence that he contributed to its passage in any material way. So, his claim to have "passed laws" amounts to citing a bill that was largely unopposed, that he didn't vote for, and whose passage he didn't impact. Even his hometown Chicago Tribune caught this false claim. It's classic résumé-padding--falsely taking credit for the work of others. At his press conference in Hamas rocket-bombarded Sderot, Obama talked up "his" efforts to protect Israel from Iran: "Just this past week, we passed out of the US Senate Banking Committee - which is my committee - a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon." (Emphasis added.) Nice try. But as even CNN noted, Obama is not even on that committee. That is one peculiar "mistake" to simply have made by accident. Again, his claiming credit for the work of others just looks like clumsy, transparent résumé embellishment. Obama has now completed over half of a Senate term; yet, is there even one signature issue he has taken hold of, other than his own presidential run? Similarly, as the New York Times recently pointed out, Obama spent twelve years on the University of Chicago Law School faculty--singularly famous for its intellectual ferment and incubator of scholarship--and produced not even a single scholarly paper. He was President of Harvard Law Review, but wrote nothing himself. Even as a state legislator for seven years-or community organizer for three years, there is little that shows his imprint. OK, to be fair, he did write two books. About himself. For all his glowing job titles, Obama has never gotten much done. Is it any wonder that his spokesmen respond with sweeping generalities when asked what Obama has actually accomplished relevant to the presidency? Obama's record of accomplishment is thin not because of lack of opportunity, but in spite of it. For twenty years, Obama has walked the floors of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, but has left no footprints other than those from his runs for whatever office came next. It's been said that some people want to be President so they can do something; and some want to be President so they can be something. Obama has accomplished nothing noteworthy despite the golden opportunities and positions he's had; why should we believe he'd be a different man in the White House?

This is my fervent hope and prayer. If he just stayed in bed for the next four years, I wouldn't mind one bit.
Someone posted a video clip a weeks ago about Obama's lack of accomplishments. And on this clip, even Michelle Obama says ON CAMERA that Obama should not run for President at this time "because he's not done nuttin' yet." Ha! Out of the mouths of wives...It was delightful. If someone remembers that clip's link, please post it again for all to enjoy.
Ha Ha Ha Obama ist "da debil". "Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut Same reason bears shit in the woods. It's what they do. What I want to know is how the obamatards remain believers in this liar. IMO it is not because they are blind, it is because these fuckwits agree with obama, they know he is a liar, and are conscious traitors bent on this countries destruction.

Put me in the 'Saved time and gasoline' column...I believe that Cyni and christine also go there.
Didn't find the one you are talking about but here is one where he admits himself that he has no business running for President in 2008--and the sob was running for that job on his first day in the Senate. Lying cs.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. If he just stayed in bed for the next four years, I wouldn't mind one bit. Yeah, the best we might have hoped for was gridlock but I am afraid we won't even be blessed with that.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Pretty close I imagine.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Your find ws good but here's the video clip, courtesy of OliviaFNewton, that I was thinking of - at 4:18 of the clip Michelle Obama confirms that Barack is an unaccomplished nobody and should not run for the highest elected office in the land. It's hoot - enjoy! freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/re...gi?ArtNum=89846&Disp=8#C8 Title: "Barack Obama: No Accomplishments" *vid* URL Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReMqM_UoOuw

"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut URL Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReMqM_UoOuw und "The URL contained a malformed video ID".
"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut Wow, just wow! Obamaphiles and the PTB are doing what the communists once did in the Soviet Union. Any historical facts that were unflattering towards communists and communism were simply purged, deleted.
What I want to know is how the obamatards remain believers in this liar. IMO it is not because they are blind, it is because these fuckwits agree with obama, they know he is a liar, and are conscious traitors bent on this countries destruction. You could well be right. It seems that it would have become obvious to even the most self deluded by now that his promise of "change" was just so much bs and there isn't a lot of hope for those who still support him (imo). Some of them could still snap out of it and of course I hope they do because I don't like to see anyone mislead. But the information about their hero has been there all the time if they had only looked at it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I am surprised the one I posted is still up. Wonder why it is verboten for the sheeple to know that his own wife thinks his pansy @$$ isn't up to the job but will leave the video up where the Obamasiah says it himself? What is wrong with that picture?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. The video clip with Michelle Obama saying that her husband did not accomplish "nuttin'" yet to qualify him to run for the Oval Office was far more explicit and damning to the Messiah than the video you posted on this thread. OliviaFNewton's video clip find was 4.5 minutes long and it included quotes out and out criticizing Obama as being an empty suit from the likes of several sacred Democratic Party "icons" including Chrissy Matthews et al. Perhaps OliviaFNewto saved it on her PC and can treat us all again to viewing the video clip.

"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut Matthews is raking one of Obama's brain-dead supporters over the coals pretty good in this one--and the supporter can't name even one thing Obama has accomplished. Barack Hussein Obama ~ NO Accomplishments! MUST SEE VIDEO! Perhaps OliviaFNewto saved it on her PC and can treat us all again to viewing the video clip. Everyone should use KeepVid and save stuff that looks like it *might* be deemed politically incorrect and something the people don't need to see.
