Obama: Nothing But Change!

The myriad mercurial musings of Barak Obama on what he would do in Iraq, should America be foolish enough to put this man in charge of our armed forces!

Note around 6:30, Barack’s pledge to leave a ”counterterrorism force to strike Al-Qaeda. Followed immediately by his denial that he ever said such a thing!

Can this country gamble on the fact that one of those positions is the one he’d actually carry out and that there’s no way of knowing which one until after he’s elected?

Hey guys,

I know that right now the whole talk is about Obama and McCain. But I was wondering who you think would be a better President if they were alive now...Washington or Lincoln?

How can we possibly believe anything Obama says?

Cindy: Now that you’re signed up, you can post a reader blog and ask that very question! But, it’s off topic here.



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

We can’t. As conservatives here keep saying. Over. And over. And over. And over again.

Thanks for being not only irrelevant but also ignorant.


When we look at the “socialist paradise” that is Cuba, we must remember that a sizable share of the misery those people suffer is directly attributable to Che Guevara bringing Castro into power, and giving him many of the policies that have caused so much pain. The real symbol of Che should be the raft, to remind us of all those who have died on rafts in the ocean trying to escape the Cuban nightmare and get to freedom. And had he not been killed, begging for his life like a coward, he would’ve done the same thing again and again in countries all throughout Latin and South America. His actions have inspired terrorists across a continent and caused countless deaths.

Irrelevant and off topic.  No matter how you try to distract, Obama’s word is meaningless.  He might even be worse than Clinton.

McCain’s word is meaningless. He might even be worse than 108.

rbb: None of your bullshit changes the facts about Obama’s untruthfulness.

ribbit can stand the fact that while McCain may have changed positions over a number of years, O’blurry changes positions on an almost daily basis.

For rbb, the rest is spin!

Don’t use the word “ball”. It sets the Reverend Jackson off!

Neither! They were men of their times, giants among men to be sure; but they were fitted for their age and no other.

I include Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Reagan as the greatest, top four president’s in American history, and while I would put FDR at number four, it is impossible for me to rank the other three numerically, as they were all the greatest men of their generation.


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.
