Warrant Issued For Marvin Winans?
Tebow Hit With 'Lolo' Chant By Teammates
Barack Obama is back from his whirlwind tour of the Middle East and Europe. Obama wowed 200,000 in Berlin, where he had them from Guten Tag. Which, loosely translated is I'm not George W. Bush.While Obama must be given props for his picture-perfect stagecraft , he acknowledges that his foreign trip may trip him up at home:
In terms of raw politics, in the short-term there's just as much downside as upside to a trip like this, even when it's well executed. People at home are worried about gas prices, they're worried about mortgage foreclosures - and for a week they're seeing me traipse around the world? It's easy to paint that as somehow being removed from people's day-to-day problems.
The Washington Post similarly asks:
What isn't measurable is whether it worked. Will a week of one-on-one meetings with foreign officials, cheering crowds, favorable and voluminous media coverage on both sides of the Atlantic and plain good fortune on the debate over getting out of Iraq overcome the doubts he faces at home about his readiness to be president? And if it doesn't, what will?Meanwhile, John McCain is attacking Obama over his canceled visit with wounded troops at a military hospital.
McCain told ABC's "This Week":
In Landstuhl, Germany, when I went through, I visited - I visited the hospital. But the important thing is that, if I had been told by the Pentagon that I couldn't visit those troops, and I was there and wanted to be there, I guarantee you, there would have been a seismic event.It is ironic that a rock-star rally in Germany and a fawning press may exacerbate Obama's vulnerability with white working-class voters who don't think he shares their values.
And so, I believe he had the opportunity to go without the media. And I'll let the facts speak for themselves.

I happen to be a white woman, age 71. I prayed for Barack's journey and pray for his success daily.
I, too, am concerned that we pick the correct person for president and am very concerned that the media report the news but not toy with our election which I think they are doing. They present stories in a light so that they are more appealing and create controversy that either is not be there or need not be there, just to get and keep our attention. They are making it a perpetual ballgame. They give John McCain a free pass at every turn. They have not pounced on his original decision on Iraq, his bummbling gaffes, his questionable advisors, his whining, his lack of content. Oh, it's mentioned but briefly and not on every news cast for days and hours until they dig up the next potential controversy as they have done with Obama. In an effort to make this a close election, they are toying with our system and might just effect the election and our future in a fashion even they might not choose if they weren't so interested in making themselves look brilliant and creating rather than reporting a story. We have a chance, not only to elect our first black president but to elect one of the most brilliant and effective people we have ever had chance to witness. Just look at his campaign organization and the way he is tackling issues. He is reaching out and inviting all points of view, while, John McCain can't use the internet and the few associates he brings along with him have to cover his gaffes.

McCain cried daily about Barack going overseas to look Presidental and show he can be diplomatic! so he went, now McCain is finding every excuse he can muster to say the news media is favoring Barrack Obama. I say good for Barack and McCain really needs to show some courage and quit whinning or perhaps Senator Grahan was talking about McCain! Graham said "Americans are whinners". The biggest whinners I see just happen to be conservatives, the killings at the Tennesee (Sunday july 27)church where the man wrote a note complaining about Liberals and is said to hate Liberals.

Barack Obama and John McCain have made recent statements on US offshore oil drilling while on the US presidential campaign trail. Well, Offshore Drilling is a huge issue right now and rightly so. Between the
desire to deal with the economic mess that is being spurred by the price
of oil and the on-going longer-term concern of global warming, how do we
address all of this? Check out Obama and McCain in side-by-side videos
on clash/Offshore Drilling comparing their recent
comments on ANWR and offshore oil drilling. It is, if nothing else,
very interesting to hear their perspective.

“Is black America Ready to Embrace Obama?”
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.
He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.
What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.
Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.
Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.
Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.
His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any straight thinking American.
Pass this on to every straight thinking American you know!
