Obama and Bush are not so far apart


Commentary: Obama and Bush are not so far apart

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Since Barack Obama incessantly makes the case that a John McCain administration would equate to another Bush term, it's worth looking at just how much Sen. Obama himself is in agreement with the unpopular president.

Does that mean that he, too, would be a repeat of President Bush? If one were to apply his logic, maybe so.

Here are 20 reasons why:

No, neither of those. It was a summary of everything known or discovered about Obama's past, and other circumstances going back to a 1959 program whereby Kenyans went to the US to "learn to be leaders" if I recall correctly. It was an astounding story.

Hmmm - well, she has had a number of posting on Obama's history, going back over several months... I was picking those because of what the url was indicating [trying to work around that 'block']...

In his column today, Dick Morris said, "...voters face a choice between a Republican Party whose image has been destroyed by its Wall Street allies and a Democratic nominee whose spiritual advisor is Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Whose financial backer is Rezko. The man who provided the money for his first real job was William Ayers. And, now it appears, that the object of his financial largesse and the organization for which he was Illinois general counsel was ACORN, massively implicated in voter fraud, funded, in large part, by Obama's presidential campaign funds. Are we to elect such a man president? Are we to trust the party of Wall Street with four more years at the till? That is the dilemma that makes this election unstable and unpredictable."

Morris is on target with Obama, but he let McCain and the Republicans off easy. Day by day, the reminders grow stronger and stronger that a third party is like a life-boat for this sinking ship of state. The feeling of panic generated by the very real damages of government nearly destroyed the market and the banking system. A few days more and the stampeding lemmings that are the powerless taxpayers and small investors might have reached that cliff and gone over. Money was pulled out of WaMu - it could, in a few days, have been all banks. There is only one party that even understands monetary reform - and it sure isn't the republican or the democratic party.

Certainly a lot better ads than the few McCain's camp is running.

In North Florida, we're seeing maybe one McCain ad to three or four Obama ads. This may be tactical, as McCain is stronger in North Florida, but I wonder what he is running elsewhere. Anyone care to provide some local feedback from other areas?

To all who would be stupid: Do not split the vote against Obama by voting for anyone but McCain. I didn't think this explanation would be necessary.

Obama is in all probability not even eligible to be a Senator, and it is even more likely he is not eligible to be President. (The FBI does not vet elected officials, believe it or not--it is viewed as the responsibility of the politicians involved.) He got the nomination by fraud and intimidation.

It appears he has broken the Logan Act multiple times. He just does what he wants, and everyone assumes that someone is watching over things. Everyone assumes that he would not have gotten this far unless he was checked out. So he never gets checked out.

"You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so." --Melanie Phillips

"We ask again:  Why did Obama actively support a candidate for Kenyan President when that person had a stated agenda that was contrary to US interests?"

"Obama Goes to Kenya on Official US Senate Business, Taxpayer Funded. Obama Campaigns for Odinga, Speaks to Kenyan Crowds as if HE is Running for President of Kenya. Odinga Promises to Institute Sharia Law and Protect Anti-American Terrorists. Odinga Later Leads Widespread Ethnic Cleansing When He Loses."

Rodney, you've uncritically accepted the contents of smear attacks against Obama.  Do some independent research and see what the mainstream media says about the Obama-Odinga connection.  There is just no substance to it.

Correction - it is the 'mainstream media' which is whitewashing and claiming those are smear attacks - there is much of source substance to those assertions.. Pamela has attached the photocopies and videos of the sources, especially when they've been removed from view via intimidation tactics...  sorry, L - it is you who have been duped, swallowing the whitewash lies...

Don't take my word for it; do some reading on your own, and don't trust a blog source that only references itself.

Sure. I live in Chicago. ILLINOIS.

As in, Obama's home state AND hometown.

His house is about 4 blocks away from the home of the caregiver for my son (when he was still young enough to need one.)

Obama, I would assume, OWNS this state, as well as this town.

And yet...I can't get away from Obama ads. I have no idea why he feels the need to saturate this market with himself, yet he does. It's weird, actually...let me put this into perspective...

Illinois is such a blue state (in national elections, anyway) that Republican presidential candidates generally don't even bother to waste dollars to campaign here. And Democrats don't either...because they know they've already got it locked. The most negative, scathing, attention-worthy campaign ads---the ones that create a buzz and are discussed ad nauseum on political pundit programs and blogs---are the ones I only get to see on youtube, because they aren't even shown here.

And yet...I can't get away from Obama ads.

Sorry, I have no explanation for it.
(But there's your local feedback from Illinois.)

Laure's right.

As much as I would love to believe the crazy stuff some folks say about him ("Obama is a long-legged Mack Daddy who pimps white AND black women!" LOL)...I know better.

No use hitching yourself to the the right-wing version of the guy who claims that Cindy McCain eats fetuses, you know?
