The Ever-'Present'Obama
We aren't talking about a "present" vote on whether to name a state office building after a deceased state official, but rather about votes that reflect an officeholder's core values.
For example, in 1997, Obama voted "present" on two bills (HB 382 and SB 230) that would have prohibited a procedure often referred to as partial birth abortion. He also voted "present" on SB 71, which lowered the first offense of carrying a concealed weapon from a felony to a misdemeanor and raised the penalty of subsequent offenses.
In 1999, Obama voted "present" on SB 759, a bill that required mandatory adult prosecution for firing a gun on or near school grounds. The bill passed the state Senate 52-1. Also in 1999, Obama voted "present" on HB 854 that protected the privacy of sex-abuse victims by allowing petitions to have the trial records sealed. He was the only member to not support the bill.
In 2001, Obama voted "present" on two parental notification abortion bills (HB 1900 and SB 562), and he voted "present" on a series of bills (SB 1093, 1094, 1095) that sought to protect a child if it survived a failed abortion. In his book, the Audacity of Hope, on page 132, Obama explained his problems with the "born alive" bills, specifically arguing that they would overturn Roe v. Wade. But he failed to mention that he only felt strongly enough to vote "present" on the bills instead of "no."
And finally in 2001, Obama voted "present" on SB 609, a bill prohibiting strip clubs and other adult establishments from being within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and daycares.
If Obama had taken a position for or against these bills, he would have pleased some constituents and alienated others. Instead, the Illinois legislator-turned-U.S. senator and, now, Democratic presidential hopeful essentially took a pass.
Some of these bills may have been "bad. They may have included poison pills or been poorly written, making it impossible for Obama to support them. They may have even been unconstitutional. When I asked the Obama campaign about those votes, they explained that in some cases, the Senator was uncomfortable with only certain parts of the bill, while in other cases, the bills were attempts by Republicans simply to score points.
But even if that were the case, it doesn't explain his votes. The state legislator had an easy solution if the bills were unacceptable to him: he could have voted against them and explained his reasoning.
Because it takes affirmative votes to pass legislation in the Illinois Senate, a "present" vote is tantamount to a "no" vote. A "present" vote is generally used to provide political cover for legislators who don't want to be on the record against a bill that they oppose. Of course, Obama isn't the first or only Illinois state senator to vote "present," but he is the only one running for President of the United States.
While these votes occurred while Obama and the Democrats were in the minority in the Illinois Senate, in the Audacity of Hope (page 130), Obama explained that even as a legislator in the minority, "You must vote yes or no on whatever bill comes up, with the knowledge that it's unlikely to be a compromise that either you or your supporters consider fair and or just."
Obama's "present" record could hurt him in two very different ways in his bid to win the Democratic presidential nomination and, ultimately, the White House. On one hand, those votes could anger some Democrats, even liberals, because he did not take a strong enough stand on their issues. On the other hand, his votes could simply be portrayed by adversaries as a failure of leadership for not being willing to make a tough decision and stick by it.
Obama is one of the most dynamic and captivating figures in American politics at this time, and he has put together an excellent campaign team. He clearly is a factor in the race for the Democratic nomination in 2008.
But as Democrats - and Americans - are searching for their next leader, the Illinois senator's record, and not just his rhetoric, will be examined under a microscope. As president, Obama will be faced with countless difficult decisions on numerous gray issues, and voting "present" will not be an option. He will need to explain those "present" votes as a member of the Illinois Legislature if he hopes to become America's commander -in- chief.

The Pope of Hope
His speeches on the campaign trail are becoming more and more like a Billy Graham Crusade:
"The change we seek is still months and miles away we need the good people of Texas to get there." ........
Here he is transformed. A fusion of Moses and MLK leading them to the promise land.
The Obama campaign is a tsunami.
He could announce he made a deal with Al Qaeda to blow up the Chrysler Building and still get votes.
"I'm for change. I'm for hope.".........Next town......"I'm for change. I'm for hope."..........Next town......."I'm for change. I'm for hope"........after a while this sounds like a broken record. The only thing his supporters love more are "HeadOn" commercials.

How many nut cases are there?
A background check is performed when an individual purchases a firearm to see if they have a criminal history. This law should be expanded to include this:
If you are taking prescription drugs, because you are mentally unstable, it should be included in this background check.
Harry Waxman does not want to waste his time on this. It's more important to find out if Roger Clemens used steroids.
Dylan Klebold
Steven Kazmierczak
Seung-Hui Cho
Between these three they killed over 50 people for no reason. Who is going to watch over these people 24/7 to insure they take their medication? Even if they took their medication would you let one of them watch your children? This tragic story just keeps repeating itself.
Not to make light of the situation, but in the "good old days" if you were depressed you jumped off a bridge!
Medea Benjamin ..Code Pink... rhymes with Stink
I'm pro-life. In this case I would have made an exception.My recent email to Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin:
You once said when you lived in Cuba you thought, "You died and went to heaven." To bad that wasn't the case.
So why in the hell don't you go back to Cuba to live!
Oh wait. You can't. You were deported.
You would think....... it was a lesson learned..... but it went right over your stupid fucking head!

Great Question
I was watching Hannity and Colmes. He had a pollster on that analyzed what the viewer response was on some sort of graph as a Obama commercial was being played in front of a Democratic audience. They ranted and raved about Obama after the commercial.
Hannity asked the pollster to ask the audience to name one specific accomplishment of Obama, that they know of, since Obama became a Senator. No one could come up with one, except one guy. This guy could barely contain his excitement. I am not kidding this is what the guy said:
"Obama is even a better orator then Jesse Jackson."

Chris Wallace interview with "W"
"It did take a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush mess and I think it might take another one to clean up after the second Bush."
Clean up the mess the Bush's made!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone spare me.
Bush's response boiled down to, "Aw shucks Chris. That's just politics." I shut the TV off. This lame ass response made me sick to my stomach. I would have went ballistic but I'm not the President. I realize he has to take a more measured approach. But how about something like this:
"That's funny coming from her Chris. As best as I can remember my father nor I were ever impeached!"
Instead he just sits there and lets that bitch mop the floor with him. The Bush's, especially the old man, have been too chummy with the Clinton's. After the interview Bill called Herbert Walker Bush. Their tee time is still on for Saturday!

Where's The Beef ?
Obama's in the position he's in for one reason.
The keynote speech he gave at the 2004 Democratic Convention.
In the opening of the movie "Patton" George C. Scott gave the most electrifying speech I ever heard! That doesn't make him a General.
This is a quote from Joe Klein a liberal writer for Time Magazine.
"The Obama campaign, all to often, is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is."
Bingo!

The reason for mandatory IQ tests at the voting booth
I am a reporter for RNC News Channel 3. I am doing a exit poll at a Democratic primary with my camera crew. It doesn't matter what state.
A young lady walks out chewing gum incessantly. She appears to be about 21 years old.
"Hold on. Here she comes. As I approach her she realizes she's on TV. I detect the excitement in her eyes."
"Hi, I'm with RNC News do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure." She says in a bubbly voice.
"Who did you vote for?"
"Obama." She gestures 2 thumbs up with a broad smile on her face. She's still chewing the gum.
"May I ask why?"
"My girl friend Sue called me last night and told me to." She gives the gum a couple of quick chews.
"Do you know how long Obama has been in office?"
"I dunno." The gum chewing slows a little.
"Is Obama a Congressman or a Senator?" The gum chewing stops.
"I dunno." Then she starts chewing the gum faster and a big smile comes over her face. "But he sure is cute!"
"Well thanks for taking the time to talk to us."
"No problem." She looks at the camera with a certain look of satisfaction; puts her hands in the back pockets of her jeans, and still chewing her gum, walks away.

Tell me where I'm going wrong
I will take a simple approach. There are Democrats and Republicans. No argument there. Let's look at the Clinton's for a moment. Just think about them for a second......... OK, time is up. Now suppose, just suppose the Nixon's are alive. Pat is 64, Dick is 67. They want to get back in the White House but Dick knows he can't get a third term. So he runs his wife. (I guess you know where I'm going with this but hang on). As you know the Clinton's had the most scandal ridden administration of all time.
But wait, the Nixon's administration wasn't exactly Snow White. Democrats could certainly put forth a strong case about the scandals and corruption of his administration, although, he did have enough integrity to resign, rather then be impeached, unlike some people I know. That said, if he were running today (sorry, I meant his wife) with the rest of the Republican field there would be no way in hell I or the vast majority of Republicans would vote for him (I mean her).
He was exposed for what he is, and for his actions. Also, the Media would have a field day putting Nixon through a meat grinder while the Clinton's gets a free ride. I happen to like Nixon, but there's no way he's going back to the oval office.
So, why in the world as a Democrat would you want Billiary back in the White House? An impeached, disbarred, x-president! A disgrace to the nation! The butt of late night talk show jokes! Baggage that a freight train couldn't handle! This is the best that they could come up with? Think about what will happen if they get in. We will regurgitate all the Clinton scandals. Not to mention, start a slew of new ones. Sounds appealing doesn't it. The buzz word in politics now is change. 'We want change'. Where in the hell is the change in this? Tell me where I'm going wrong. Don't believe me? Punch in "Clinton scandals" on Google. Your computer will blow a gasket!

Watch where his right hand goes

January 28, 2008 - 9:59AM
Hillary Clinton admitted today her husband Bill's hard-charging campaign tactics had gone overboard, but chalked the ex-president's fiery broadsides up to love and a chronic lack of sleep.
A day after rival Barack Obama trounced her in the South Carolina primary, the former first lady also mounted a vigorous defence of the two Clinton White House terms, which Obama has said did not spark transformational change.
Clinton was asked on CBS television's Face the Nation whether her husband was "out of control" after he took the Illinois senator, and the media to task, during a foul-tempered week-long campaign.
"You know, my husband has such a great commitment to me and to my campaign," the New York senator said.
"He loves me just like, you know, husbands and wives get out there and work on each others' behalf." ( What did they used to say. "Gag me with a spoon" )
She blamed the tensions of the tight battle for the party's presidential nomination
"Maybe he got a little carried away. You know, that comes with a hard-fought election," she said

The Clinton's aka "Billiary"
I like to watch Dick Morris. Most of his views on the political landscape and the strategies of politicians are dead on. He brought up the fact that Hilliary says the Sovereign Wealth Funds needs to be scrutinized and more transparent. ( Some critics worry that foreign investment by sovereign wealth funds raises national security concerns because the purpose of the investment might be to secure control of strategically-important industries for political rather than financial gain. )
This is kind of funny coming from her since the Saudi-Royal Family gave a $10 million donation for the Clinton Library. Also, this one kills me, Bill Clinton is an investment advisor to the Ameer of Dubai and is paid $10 million a year in salary!
The Clinton's are liars, liars, liars. Nixon compared to the Clinton's was a shoplifter.
Getting back to the library. What a fucking scam job that is. Here we got a library that cost a whopping $165 million built as a monument to the most scandal riddled administration of all time. A tribute to an impeached, disbarred, x-president. A disgrace to the nation. America, in and even more despicable act, is actually contemplating putting these two lying bastards back in the White House! God help us.

SNL skit "Billary"
Wolf Blitzer: "Mrs.Clinton, in the last debate when asked if you would give illegals a drivers license you hemmed and hawed and completely dodged the question. When I just asked you the same question you came back with an emphatic NO. Why the about face"?
Mrs. Clinton: "Actually Wolf, Bill and I discussed it in great detail. We believe illegals should have a drivers license. But after the Spitzer plan to give illegals a drivers license went up in flames and 77% of Americans were against it, we being Clinton's, not to reveal the truth, will tell Americans what they want to hear. Wolf.... isn't that what all Democrats do"?
Wolf: "Mrs. Clinton. It is refreshing to here you give an honest answer. I do believe this is the first time I have ever heard you speak the truth."
Mrs. Clinton "Thanks Wolf. By the way not only do I want illegals to have a drivers license I want all of us to speak Spanish, that is why I voted against English as our national language"!

The sad part is, this ain't a joke!

No. 4064 ) dated May 18, 2006, at 05:00 PM to amend title 4 United States Code, to declare English as the national language of the United States and to promote the patriotic integration of prospective US citizens. Did you vote yes or no on this amendment"?
Mrs. Clinton :
"Well, ahhh-----Tim, ahhh---this is a tough question".
Tim Russert:
"You voted no bitch. Now try to squirm your way out of this one"!

Best Pals?
Maybe I'm paranoid but I don't like the idea of Bush senior hanging around with Clinton. I think Clinton is using their friendship to attain his own goal to gain the White House as a third term president (Hillary is only a figurehead). Clinton has two things on his agenda. Sex and the White House. I think Bush, chumming it up with Clinton (an impeached President), hurts the Republican party and only legitimizes Clinton's bid for the White House. I wonder if Bush feels like he is being used?
You never saw Reagan chumming it up with Carter! Why hang with slime.
Redacted
This movie (REDACTED) produced by Mark Cuban is treason. Free speech and first amendment rights have no bearing hear. There is a line you cross that you can't jump from and cry free speech! Ask Cuban this: If Muslims are killilng people over cartoons what do you think will happen when they see American soldiers raping a 14 year old girl and killing her parents? Furthermore, when an American citizen living abroad, or a soldier, is beheaded because of your movie are you going to accept full responsibilty? Let me ask you this. Do you even care? Mark Cuban you are a traitor. You are certainly not an American! If you were standing in front of me right now I would knock your fucking teeth out!!!

O'reilly & Cavuto
Why does O'reilly and Cavuto have people on their show with names like Garcia, Rodriguez, Rivera, Mendez, Chavez, and then sit back in amazement wondering why they are pro illegal?
These people do not understand the word illegal!
They give the same worn out excuses:
"This is the land of the free"
"They are hard working people"
"This country was created by immigrants"
"They do the work other people won't do"
"They do the work other people won't do"
Allow me to draw you a parallel. A man from West Virginia, whose parents were legal immigrants,came to American, the land of the free. His father was from a long line of hard working people who came to a country created by immigrants and took a job as a coal miner..
The son followed in his father's footsteps because they do the work other people won't do. It was the only job he could get. After working in the mines for 34 years he contracted black lung disease. The doctors told him he had six months to live. He worried about who would provide for his family after his death. So he went to a bank unarmed and told the clerk to fill the bag with money. Immediately after leaving the bank he is arrested.
Do we now say:
"Yeah, but this is the land of the free"
"Yeah, but he is hard working"
"This country was created by immigrants"
"They do the work other people won't do"
When does illegal mean illegal?
"This country was created by immigrants"
"They do the work other people won't do"
When does illegal mean illegal?

Imus
I never did watch Imus. But he made out like a bandit. He gets $20,000,000 and 4 months off from work. On top of that he is about to sign a mega contract with another network. If you listen closely, you could almost here the egg sizzle on Sharpton's head.

Looking for a new hero
As you know Sean Penn's close friend Saddam met his end dangling from the end of a rope. Now the poor bastard is left without a hero. What should a multi-millionaire movie star do for his country that has been so damn good to him? Why call on Chavez of course! The rest of his itinerary goes like this. Next week he is in Iran to kiss Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's ass and the following week he is going to Northern Pakistan to be the quest host on TTN (the Ayman al-Zawahiri Televised Terror Network).
