Muammar Gaddafi: "Obama, my brother"

I really want to be finished with this political junk. I hate the bickering, the duplicity, the having to choose and all that means.

BUT...

Somethings just need to be brought to light.

I, personally, believe Barack Hussein Obama is dangerous for America. He is inexperienced and he leans way too far liberal left for my personal comfort. The issue of his allegiance is, I think, of paramount importance, though. To even consider for president, during these tumultuous times of conflict with radical Islam, someone who may or may not have connections with the other side is ludicrous and must be founded in either a desire to see American crushed or in blinded ignorance. Unfortunately, too many of our citizens are more concerned with a person's skin color or their historic uniqueness as a candidate to look at that person's connections and background and lack or leadership experience.

This link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZiqexz7aqQ) leads to a video of Muammar al-Gaddafi, the de facto leader of Libya, endorsing Obama as a potential great president of American. He repeatedly refers to Obama's Islamism as he calls him "our brother Obama." He refers to the Arab world's prayers and contributions in support Obama. He explains that Obama's statements in support of Israel are only lies of a democratic election in which candidates are expected to say whatever necessary to get elected. He even speaks encouragingly to "our brother Obama" to not have self-doubt regarding his right to lead America, hoping that Obama "will take pride in his African and Islamic identity and faith ... and that he will change American from evil to good."

Yet, even in the light of blatant support by our national enemies for a presidential candidate, the mainstream press is pushing Obama as the leading candidate in the race. You have to look past the "legitimate media" (remember, I used to be one of them until I saw how unilaterally corrupt they are) to find anything negative about Obama. He is given a pass on every gaff, from his slip of "my Muslim faith" when he meant to say Christian faith, his reference to 57 or 60 states instead of 50, his alliance with many, many influential and questionable characters. Yes, these could be missed or overlooked, but we have to wonder why other political figures' mistakes or dubious connections are highlighted over and over and over. If Bush, Cheney, McCain, or any other conservative politician had made any of the above mistakes, David Letterman, Jay Leno, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, etc would have been all over them. But they've yet to jab Obama for any of them. That alone should raise red flags for any even semi-conscious. But, again, the desire to see someone "different" stand in office overrides all caution.

Please watch the above referenced video and draw your own conclusions. I've included other telling clip links below along with a forwarded message from a friend. Please warn your liberal-leaning friends and family in a kind and sincere way. They are deluded, not stupid. Just because they don't understand is no reason to disown them, just to educate them.

Here are some other links:

(George) STEPHANOPOULOS: "The McCain campaign has never suggested that you have Muslim connections. McCain said that that's wrong."

OBAMA: No, uh, well, uh, well, look, the -- the, uhhhh. Listen, uhhh, you and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was, uh -- was, uh, forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said, "That's off-limits. And -- and -- and -- and --

STEPHANOPOULOS: John McCain did the same thing about questioning your faith.

OBAMA: And what -- what was the first thing the McCain campaign went out and did? They -- they said, uhhh, look, uhhh, his liberal blogs that support Obama (nervous laugh) are out there attacking Governor Palin. I mea- ih, uh, uh, eh, L-l-let's not play games. W-w-what I was suggesting, you are absolutely right that John McCain has not, uh, talked about my Muslim faith, and you're absolutely right that that has not come --

STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.

OBAMA: Uh, M-my Christian faith.

Palin Rocks! ... I'm Bothered Now, though

Well! If you missed Sarah Palin's speech last night at the Republican National Convention (US presidential race), you missed it! Granted, the US is one of the few countries yet to elect a major female leader, and Ireland has had two successful Madam Presidents, but I think Palin made it clear she is ready for a Chief Executive job. Yes, she will only be Vice President, but in the next election, she's a certainty to be nominated for President.

And that's my quandary. All through this tedious campaign season, I've said, "Just get McCain in there for four years, then let's move on to President Mike Huckabee." But after Palin's speech - well, actually about ten minutes into it - I have a real problem. My problem is this: in four years, do I still want to vote for Huckabee for president, or for Sarah Palin?

Huckabee has been my presidential pick since he entered the primaries. First of all, he's from Arkansas (so am I), he's a strong leader with a proven record of lowering taxes, balancing a horribly wrecked budget, working equally well with both parties, plus he's a sincerely nice guy. I've had dinner with him a couple of times (easy to do in a small state like Arkansas), and he comes across in an informal setting as friendly, sharp, and interested in everything. I really, really like Huckabee for President.

Or I did. RATS! Now comes Palin and I was just as stunned as everyone else who heard her (and have functioning synapses). She was quick, charming, solid on her ideas, and very focused on the job at hand. (Unlike the opposing presidential candidate who can't seem to even remember what he said yesterday ... or how many states we have in the US! - see my earlier post on BO's numeracy skills.)

I think Palin will make a great addition to the McCain ticket. I think she'll be a good VP. And I believe she could very possibly be a great first American Madam President.

Obama's Revelation: 57 States or OIC??

Today is September 3, 2008. That's important when you realize that it has now been FOUR MONTHS since Barack Hussein announced that there are 57 US states. And the major media outlets still haven't acknowledged his mistake. The few references to it have been on media blogs where the miscount has been sternly defended as a minor mistake based on his confusion.

Isn't it fun to watch the liberal media ... oh alright, all the liberals ... spin back and forth! A few years ago, when Dan Quayle misspelled a vegetable "potatoe" instead of "potato"), they went nuts over it for weeks, deeming it as proof positive that Quayle was unfit for office. But now, when their pet candidate screws up again and again (and again!), they can't seem to see anything wrong with it.

What's a little confusion or bumbling amount to?
DATELINE IRAN
MARCH 14, 2009
EXCERPT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA'S MEETING WITH IRAN PRESIDENT: "Mr. Ahmadinejad, we WILL hand over control to you!" "Wait, no, er, I meant we will NOT. ... I think , er, uh, 8, no, 23, no, 57, uh, what was the question, ol' buddy?"

But what was behind BO's numerical gaff? Snopes.com excuses the mistake (of course!) by quoting his explanation that his "numeracy is poor." Oh, his numeracy skills are poor, is that all? The dictionary defines numeracy as "the ability to understand and work with numbers." Wait. Isn't counting, and calculating, and understanding numbers an important skill for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!?? The guy supposedly graduated from Harvard, for cryin' out loud. Ever see the TV show, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? BO had better keep far away from that program!

But there's a second possibility. Other than base ignorance, I mean. A quick check of the Internet reveals that the Organization of Islamic Countries is made up of ... wait for it ... fifty-seven member countries (or states, as they call them). Wow. What an interesting coincidence!

Could it be that Barack Hussein Obama had another group of states in mind when he quoted the number? Could it be that he is focusing on a coalition of countries that are, let's say unfriendly to the US's interests?

Could it be this is one more example of why this guy would be a HORRIBLE choice for Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces?
Yes!
