Re: Obama's Hollow "Judgment" and Empty Record

Obama's gyrations on Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran are not the actions of one imbued with superior intuitive judgment, but rather the machinations of a political opportunist looking to avoid having his fingerprints on any issue that might be controversial, and require real judgment, while preserving his freedom to bludgeon his adversary for actually taking positions as elected office demands. It is hard to discern whether Senator Obama is a man of principle, but it is clear that he is not a man of substance. And that judgment, based on his hollow record, is inescapable.

~ Joseph C. Wilson on Obama's Hollow "Judgment" and Empty Record

Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson,You have judiciously stated the facts on the differences between Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama. But from the winning streak of Barack Obama in dozens of primaries and caucuses, you can see that the majority of American voters have accepted his political rhetoric of fallacy and hypocrisy as the gospel truth and even many highly educated political scholars and seasoned journalists are willing captives of Barack Obama’s political hypnosis.

Most of the supporters of Barack Obama are reading you, but they are still dazed by the media hype called "Obamania". They prefer to hope on this "dope" of political escapism than accept the bitter truth of the wrath of the earth, that the inevitability of reality will determine the survival of humanity and not the idealism of romantic existentialism. There is a Freudian explanation for the mass hysteria of the Barack Obama phenomenon in the political history of America. Even Bill Clinton would have had similar challenges as his wife if he had a Barack Obama competing against him for president in 1992.

The Barack Obama phenomenon did not just happen overnight. It has been in the uterus of American Democracy until the fertilization formed the fetus of the pregnancy that could become the birth of a New America. Even if this Barack Obama is not the real deal, the real McCoy will emerge from the metamorphosis.

This was foretold in a poem I composed years ago.

I see a New America
Rising from the horizon of the new dawn.

The poem described a new generation of the American Dream.

Senator Barack Obama’s claim to superior judgment is already deflated by his complicity in the case of Antoin “Tony” Rezko whom he knew was under Federal investigation in 2005 and yet continued to transact land deals with him, and later admitted his error in judgment, with the lame excuse of being "bone-headed" at the time. How could a qualified attorney who studied at the Harvard Law School be so ignorant?

I have already addressed and emphasized the contradictions, inconsistencies and shortcomings of Barack Obama, but as we are all witnessing the political hysteria of this American dream, we can only watch him making history before our very eyes. In every generation, something of this phenomenal nature occurs, either for the best or for the worst. Let us pray and hope that this cosmic irony is for the best.

NEWSWEEK LOOKS AT WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR.'S CONSERVATISM AND HOW IT'S FALLING APART TODAY

DAVID BROOKS ON BUCKLEY: 'He changed the personality of conservatism.'

MICHAEL GERSON: 'The loss to conservatism and to America is real ... Buckley Jr. leaves an unfilled spot where wit and joy once stood.'

NEW YORK, March 2 /PRNewswire/ --

In the current issue of Newsweek, Editor-at-Large Evan Thomas looks at how William F. Buckley Jr. largely inspired and held together the conservative movement that is collapsing today. "He changed the personality of conservatism," New York Times columnist David Brooks tells Newsweek. "It had been sort of negative, and he made it smart and sophisticated and pushed out all these oddballs and created a movement." More recently, says Brooks, conservatism has "lost something." In the conservatism spawned by talk radio and TV, the haters and know-nothings are back, ranting about immigrants and liberals, Thomas writes in the March 10 Newsweek cover, "Mr. Right, R.I.P. (on newsstands Monday, March 3).

"It was a lot more philosophical under him," Brooks says. "At those nightly salons, Buckley liked to talk and argue about ideas and literature and the nature of man; politics were rarely mentioned. The new conservatives are not as intellectually creative as those dealing with communism and socialism." Brooks had been an editorial assistant at Buckley's National Review.


Also in the cover package, Newsweek Contributor Michael Gerson writes an essay about what Buckley's loss means to conservatism. With Buckley's passing- as with the passing of Reagan-conservatism has one less grand, unifying figure. One less leader regarded with respect and affection by every element of a sprawling coalition, from libertarians to religious conservatives. Buckley united the movement because he embodied it, and he embodied it because he largely created it. Conservatism will survive Buckley's passing, as an edifice survives the death of its architect. But few remain who understand how the building was built."


And Katrina vanden Heuvel writes in an essay, "I come to Newsweek not to bury Buckley, but, believe it or not, to offer respect for the man and the editor. More important than any of the particular ideas in which Buckley believed was his belief in the power of ideas themselves."


She writes that despite his "uncompromising conservative beliefs, Buckley reveled in transpartisan friendships, most notably with the late John Kenneth Galbraith. (One of Galbraith's favorite phrases-"Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue"-may well have been coined to describe his skiing partner Buckley.) While he could deploy a sometimes vicious wit-which could descend into cruelty-Buckley disdained the kind of partisan shoutfests that too often pass for political debate on our TVs today.

For the Love of Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton has rescued Barack Obama from the political blunder of accepting the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic Black Muslim leader of the so called Nation of Islam in America. Barack Obama's supporters are thanking her for it.

I am proud to be one of the HillRaisers of Hillary Clinton for President.
Let us encourage and support her without apologies or regrets. Hillary Clinton can make it.

Dear Orikinla,


Yesterday, I asked you to make a statement, and you shouted from the rooftops.

I set an ambitious goal -- 30,000 contributions in 48 hours -- and you're almost there just one day later. So we're setting a new goal to reflect your commitment to this campaign: 50,000 contributions in 72 hours.

Your energy and enthusiasm match what I'm seeing on the campaign trail. Every day I talk to crowds of thousands of people in the March 4 states who are ready to get to work to solve America's biggest problems. Just like you and me, they want to win this race, and together, I know we will.

But first, let's make it to this big new goal: 50,000 contributions in 72 hours. I know this may be the first time you have made a contribution online, but any amount, even as little as $5, can make a difference in this race.

Contribute $5 and help us win on March 4.

Together we are doing the hard work it's going to take to win. You are giving us the support, the resources, and the momentum we need at this critical moment, and I can't possibly thank you enough.

Sincerely,
Contribute, $5, Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, Black Muslims, American Muslims, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, March 4

Barack Obama Begs For Gay Vote

Barack Obama Begs For Gay Vote

Here is the open letter from Senator Obama that was just released:

"I'm running for President to build an America that lives up to our founding promise of equality for all – a promise that extends to our gay brothers and sisters. It's wrong to have millions of Americans living as second-class citizens in this nation. And I ask for your support in this election so that together we can bring about real change for all LGBT Americans.

Equality is a moral imperative. That's why throughout my career, I have fought to eliminate discrimination against LGBT Americans. In Illinois, I co-sponsored a fully inclusive bill that prohibited discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity, extending protection to the workplace, housing, and places of public accommodation. In the U.S. Senate, I have co-sponsored bills that would equalize tax treatment for same-sex couples and provide benefits to domestic partners of federal employees. And as president, I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws. I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage. Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does. I have also called for us to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and I have worked to improve the Uniting American Families Act so we can afford same-sex couples the same rights and obligations as married couples in our immigration system.

The next president must also address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. When it comes to prevention, we do not have to choose between values and science. While abstinence education should be part of any strategy, we also need to use common sense. We should have age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception. We should pass the JUSTICE Act to combat infection within our prison population. And we should lift the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. In addition, local governments can protect public health by distributing contraceptives.
We also need a president who's willing to confront the stigma – too often tied to homophobia – that continues to surround HIV/AIDS. I confronted this stigma directly in a speech to evangelicals at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, and will continue to speak out as president. That is where I stand on the major issues of the day. But having the right positions on the issues is only half the battle. The other half is to win broad support for those positions. And winning broad support will require stepping outside our comfort zone. If we want to repeal DOMA, repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and implement fully inclusive laws outlawing hate crimes and discrimination in the workplace, we need to bring the message of LGBT equality to skeptical audiences as well as friendly ones – and that's what I've done throughout my career. I brought this message of inclusiveness to all of America in my keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention. I talked about the need to fight homophobia when I announced my candidacy for President, and I have been talking about LGBT equality to a number of groups during this campaign – from local LGBT activists to rural farmers to parishioners at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Dr. Martin Luther King once preached.

Just as important, I have been listening to what all Americans have to say. I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all LGBT Americans. But neither will I close my ears to the voices of those who still need to be convinced. That is the work we must do to move forward together. It is difficult. It is challenging. And it is necessary.

Americans are yearning for leadership that can empower us to reach for what we know is possible. I believe that we can achieve the goal of full equality for the millions of LGBT people in this country. To do that, we need leadership that can appeal to the best parts of the human spirit. Join with me, and I will provide that leadership. Together, we will achieve real equality for all Americans, gay and straight alike."

Nigerian Times Verdict:
Senator Barack Hussein Obama is not the "Christian" he claims to be.
He is even ready to kiss the arse of every Gay voter to win the presidential nomination. He is spending five times more than what Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is spending on presidential campaign. But you cannot make a pact with Satan and still claim to be a Christian. Anyone who violates the fundamental laws of Christianity and attacks the foundation of Christianity is not a Christian, but an anti-Christ.
