Is Philadelphia Obama Territory?

Is Philadelphia Obama territory? I think this post discounts the fact that the last 3 mayors all endorsed Clinton.

On the other side of the state, you’ve got a bona fide liberal city in Philadelphia. With its mix of college students and African-Americans, Philly is more like New York and Atlanta than Midwestern cities like Columbus. It seems like a natural fit for Obama —blacks make up 43 percent of the city’s population, as opposed to only 27 percent of Pittsburgh’s—but keep in mind that cities in New York state and New Jersey gave Clinton their blessing.


Hillary camp called Canadian Embassy & her immigration stance

Hi all!

We used to love Hillary, then

Per the Toronto Globe and Mail, in a story on the paper’s front page last week, that call to the Canadian embassy was actually from the Clinton campaign, not Obama’s!

Her website stated “SHE IS FOR LEGALIZING IMMIGRANTS”! She also wanted to give NY drivers licenses to all illegal immigrants. Here are her stances in these issues:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has a Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act”

Clinton, Hagel, Menendez Introduce Measure to Remove Barriers to Reunification for Immigrant Families

Senator Clinton Calls for Quicker Action on Citizenship Applications

Clinton Calls for an Emergency Halt to Deportation of Haitian Immigrants

Obama – HELP!

Clintons and Call to Canadian Embassy

It is curious that the Clintons did not speak up about this and her interview question on 60 minutes.

This is unfortunately why we support Obama. He is our Senator and we still trust what he says.

And that's not all

Hillary have a hidden agenda that’s not being discussed but her daughter have put christians on notice this weekend. Not to say that Hillary and Bill can’t have an election they would surely bring about racial division if america allow them to have there way.

Questions for Clinton

Hillary Clinton has raised her “35 year” record as her primary selling point.

She should answer questions about her record. For example, she should answer questions about her time as a director of international corporate conglomerates Wal-Mart and Lefarge.

Press accounts of her role on the board of Wal-Mart reflect someone who sat silently while the company engaged in efforts to limit workers’ rights and to drive down employee wages. See, Clinton Remained Silent As Wal-Mart Fought Unions, http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4218509&pag… and Wal-Mart’s First Lady, http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0021,harkavy,1505….

Will Senator Clinton release her papers from her days on the Wal-Mart Board and can she document any effort to put a stop to Wal-Mart’s efforts to limit workers’ rights and drive down workers’ wages?

Likewise, there are legitimate questions about Mrs. Clinton ‘s role on the board of directors of Lafarge. As the Washington Post has reported, “ [In the early 1990’s,] Lafarge, a U.S. cement maker owned by a French conglomerate, was one of her largest sources of income, paying her $31,000 a year to serve on its board. Shortly before Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, Lafarge was fined $1.8 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for pollution violations at its Alabama plant. A year later, the Clinton administration reduced that fine to less than $600,000.” See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic… . Lafarge’s pollution record extends around the county, including right here in Pennsylvania. See, e.g., http://www.scorecard.org/env-releases/facility.tcl… and http://oaspub.epa.gov/enviro/multisys2.get_list_tr….

Will Senator Clinton release her papers related to Lefarge, and can she document any effort to protect our health and safety while on the international corporation’s board?

up in the air

i was all out for john edwards. Im pretty much stuck on who to support…. obama is an empty suit in terms of accomplishments and for all john kerry’s ten point plans obama doesnt have one, which is concerning and hillary is well…. hillary. I think clinton will win about 60-40 or so. not particularly sure who ill support… if they were smart, they’d merge and pound the republicans. Regardless, should be a fun race to see them going at it.

Clinton's Experience

Hillary has based a good part of her campaign on her experience and her reputation as a “fighter”. But have you seen this ad showing her authorizing the Iraq War? It’s pretty powerful stuff:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hwLaCb07lAs

What is so great about

What is so great about Hillary Clinton? She has horrible judgment …

As a quick example …

  • Tim Russert asked Hillary Clinton what vote would she like to take back … Hillary said, she’d like to take back her yea vote to invade Iraq — BAD judgment.

  • Hillary Clinton showed extremely bad judgment when she demonstrates that she does not care one bit about destroying the democrats’ chances of winning the White House when Hillary said “I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House.” Meaning … If democrats don’t anoint Hillary at the Convention she does NOT want Obama to beat McCain.

—- BAD judgment — she does not care about democrats she will do and say anything to win.

Who ever said Hillary is a deceitful politician and a monster .. they were right!

Be careful voting for

Be careful voting for someone because you don’t like the other choice. Educate yourself about the one you will help put in the White House. You seem to know enough about Clinton to make up your mind not to vote for her, but do you know enough about Obama to make up your mind to vote for him? I’m saying you’re right or wrong…just learn before you leap.

Keep Hillary AWAY from the red phone

Hillary Clinton’s National Security experience should be exposed.

  • Clinton withdrew U.S. forces from Somalia in 1993, AFTER 18 servicemen were killed in Mogadishu when Osama bin Laden and Al Queda shot down their Black Hawk helicopter.
  • 1996 President Bill Clinton turned down the Sudan government TWICE in their offer to help capture and arrest Osama Bin Laden. Clinton ADMITS that was the biggest mistake of his presidency.
  • Sudanese officials claimed late in 2005 that President Clinton turned down secret extradition of Osama Bin Laden from Khartoum in 1996. Senior sources in the Clinton administration now confirm that it was true.
  • In May 1996, American diplomats were informed in a Sudanese government fax that bin Laden was about to be expelled, giving Clinton another chance to seize him. A former Clinton administration source says the offer went to the very top of the White House. Clinton turned down the offer and bin Laden took off from Khartoum on May 18 in a chartered C-130 with 150 of his followers, which included his wives, bound for Jalalabad in Afghanistan.
  • A month later, on June 25, 1996 a 5000 pound truck bomb exploded in front of Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. This was a US military housing complex. The explosion killed 19 American servicemen.
  • Bin Laden told CNN in a 1997 interview that his followers were involved in the Black Hawk attack, which occurred eight months after the first attack on the World Trade Center.
  • August 7, 1998 Osama bin Laden bombed U.S. Embassy in Kenya killing hundreds of people.
  • August 7, 1998 simultaneous to the Kenya US Embassy bombing, Osama bin Laden organized a car bomb explosions at the United States embassies in the East African capital cities of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania killing hundreds.
  • In the U.S., the FBI placed bin Laden on its 10 Most Wanted list.
  • Clinton knew bin Laden had training camps in Afghanistan and refused to attack, capture or kill bin Laden.
  • On July 6, 2000, Mansoor ljaz saw John Podesta, Clinton’s chief of staff, to inform the Clinton administration that intelligence officers form a Gulf state were offering to help get bin Laden. Clinton turned down the offer.
  • 3 months later, October 12, 2000 Osama bin Laden blew up the USS Cole killing 17 US Service men and injuring 39. Deadliest attack on a Naval vessell since 1987.
  • Meanwhile, Clinton knew Osama bin Laden had training camps in Afghanistan and still Clinton refused to attack, capture or kill bin Laden.
  • September 11, 2001 bin Laden blows up the World Trade Centers.
  • March 2003, Hillary Clinton voted to take troops out of Afghanistan – away from bin Laden – to invade Iraq. Hillary’s quote, “This is hardest decision I’ve evern had to make and I cast my vote with conviction.”
  • March 2008, Hillary Clinton told Tim Russert it is the only vote she wished she could take back.

... Soooo … the red phone rang … Hillary slept … Bill ate pizza …. Osama bin Laden got stronger….

KEEP HILLARY AWAY FROM THE RED PHONE — Her experience in National Security SUX.

Hillary's deceitfulness and trickery

The media has not held Clinton’s feet to the fire on her claim of 35 years of foreign policy experience.

  • Hillary said, “I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland,”

Fact: Democratic Senate majority leader George Mitchell, who was a U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, told CNN that Hillary Clinton was not involved in negotiations.

  • Hillary said, “I negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo,”

Fact: In May of 1999, she was in Macedonia visiting refugee camps near the Kosovo border. CNN reported at the time that Macedonia reopened its border to Kosovar refugees BEFORE Clinton’s visit.

  • Hillary said, “I’ve been standing up against, you know, the Chinese government over women’s rights and standing up for human rights in many different places,”

Fact: A former National Security Council official in the Clinton administration says Clinton did not attend National Security Council meetings.

ONE VOTER TO ANOTHER

HILLARY CLINTON AND EVERY WOMANS DREAM:

There is much more here than what the average eye sees. It is one woman who has the power and the proved smarts to run the most valuable country in the world THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

You men out there you have daughters that dream, go to school study hard, with dreams of one day maybe become the President of the United States. If it where your sons, you would be exhilarated, or a major league baseball player for your son. Well, mothers dream too, they dream for their sons and THEIR DAUGHTERS.

Hillary has reached that plateau for all Mothers and Daughters to dream
that they too, can make our country better, stronger, and protect it with all their hearts and minds and souls…

Why cant women share in the dreams. Slowly they are in baseball, basketball, car races, they have proved they have what it takes. Now
let them show you what they can do…...they will make you proud.

Every woman's dream? Really?

Senator Clinton is not my dream of a woman President. I wanted her to be, but then she started trying to change the rules that she had agreed to, tried to use fear to win, gives speeches to denigrate speeches and insults millions of people simply because they didn’t vote for her. When I dream of a woman President, I dream of a woman who will propel us out of bully schoolyard mentality politics into a world of adult civilized discussion (you know the kind where things actually get done). I wish Senator Clinton was running a different kind of campaign, but she isn’t. Senator Obama is.

Sorry, but this woman cannot dream about Senator Clinton as President, it feels too much like a nightmare. Before you say it, I don’t like lattes, cults, kool-aid or birkenstocks. I don’t have a trust fund. I am over 40, white and believe in equal rights. I am neither now, nor never have been delusional. See what I mean about insulting millions of people? I don’t see how Senator Clinton can possibly believe this is a good strategy, especially for a woman, but apparently this is the best she can do. It makes me very sad. Hopefully, a woman will come along soon who does answer my dream for a woman President, but it is not Senator Hillary Clinton.

Hopefully

Hopefully it’s all a dream. I cringe at the thought of Clinton, Obama, or McCain as president. Is this really the BEST we can do?? God save the Queen.

This is good and fair questioning.

RED PHONE - HILLARY SPEAKING

There is a reason that thirty former Generals and Admirals have endorsed Senator Clinton — they know she is prepared to lead this nation as Commander in Chief with strength and experience on day one. Here are the facts about Hillary’s experience.

Northern Ireland:

The Obama campaign claims George Mitchell, the person in charge of the investigation, supports their view that Hillary’s claims about Northern Ireland are exaggerated. John Hume, who won the Nobel Prize for Peace for his work on Northern Ireland:

I can state from firsthand experience that she played a positive role for over a decade in helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland… Anyone criticizing her foreign policy involvement should look at her very active and positive approach to Northern Ireland and speak with the people of Northern Ireland who have the highest regard for her and are very grateful for her very active support for our peace process.

George Mitchell, who is cited in the Obama memo as an authoritative source, told Katie Couric last night that Hillary played “a helpful and supportive role” in Northern Ireland that ended up making “a difference in the process.” He described what Hillary has said about her role as “accurate.”

Kosovo:

Concerning Kosovo, the Obama memo – citing their own advisors and supporters — falsely claims that Hillary played no role in the larger effort to open the border to more refugees. Richard Holbrooke, the architect of the Dayton Accords, lays out the facts:

It was dire in May 1999 when Hillary Clinton arrived in Macedonia. The government of Macedonia had slowed the flow of refugees from Kosovo to a trickle. After visiting refugees and gaining a first-hand assessment of the situation, the First Lady had intense talks with President Gligorov and Prime Minister Georgievski. In these talks, one in the Presidential Palace, another in the residence of the American Ambassador, Christopher Hill, Mrs. Clinton pressed the Macedonian government to fully open the border so that Kosovar Albanian refugees could flee the war zone to safety. She also committed herself to work with the government and people of Macedonia who also faced an emergency because of the threat to their own safety and stability. Hillary Clinton promised to take action to help the Macedonian economy. Returning to Washington, she pressed hard in the administration for action to support the Macedonians. She even contacted American business executives to ensure that American textile contracts in Macedonia were not canceled. There is no doubt in my mind, nor in the minds of those people I worked with in the Balkans at the time – that her intense efforts resulted in easing a crisis of significant dimensions and contributed to saving many lives.

Hillary’s trip to Kosovo in May 1999 took place during the air war over Kosovo. Despite concerns about security, she traveled to the international border on the edge of the war zone, and visited with refugees.

Bosnia

The Obama campaign has resorted to mocking Hillary’s trip to Bosnia in 1996, belittling it as a U.S.O. tour and saying there was no danger. But Hillary toured the frontlines of the international peacekeeping mission. CNN reported:

At a second outpost, Camp Bedrock, Mrs. Clinton visited a M.A.S.H. unit, the only full-service U.S. Army hospital in Bosnia. The three-hour tour of the frontlines of the international peacekeeping mission were filled with the gritty reality of a military operation, a far cry from traditional first lady photo opportunities, and Mrs. Clinton seemed more than comfortable with that. [CNN, 3/25/99]

A day later, the Charleston Gazette reported that “Protected by sharpshooters, Hillary Rodham Clinton swooped into a military zone by Black Hawk helicopter Monday…This trip to Bosnia marks the first time since Roosevelt that a first lady has voyaged to a potential combat zone…”

China

The Obama campaign diminishes Hillary’s historic speech in Bejing as meaningless. But her speech at the conference – where she famously declared “women’s rights are human rights” spurred real action. The AP reported:

Brazil has promised free cancer-screening exams for women. The United States is spending $ 1.6 billion to try to end domestic violence. South African President Nelson Mandela is setting up a unit in his office to monitor the status of women. A year after 189 states pledged to make equality of the sexes a reality in the 21st century, many governments are crediting the conference for their latest steps to help women. ‘The momentum is on – and this momentum is not only by women but even by governments and by men,’ said Gertrude Mongella, secretary-general of the Fourth World Conference on Women that adopted a 150-page plan to achieve women’s equality. Inspired by last September’s U.N. conference in Beijing, five Mongolian women ran for parliament in June and won, bringing the total number of female legislators to seven out of 76. Women’s groups in Zaire joined forces to try to change laws that bar women from traveling or opening bank accounts without their husbands’ permission. [AP, 8/25/96]

Rwanda

On Rwanda, the Obama campaign is eager to diminish Hillary’s advocacy. Hillary visited to Rwanda in 1998 and her forceful public statements about the administration’s failings. This is how she described the trip and the administration’s followup in her book, Living History:

Expressing great regret for genocide in Rwanda and our legacy of slavery sent a message of concern and respect to Africans who confront the intertwined challenges of poverty, disease, repression, starvation, illiteracy and war. But Africa needs more than words; it needs investment and trade if its economics are ever going to develop. That requires both significant changes in most governments and a partnership with the United States. That’s why the African Growth and Opportunity At, which Bill proposed and Congress passed, is so critical. It creates incentives for American companies to do business in Africa.” [Living History, pg. 457]

When the RED PHONE rings – I want President HILLARY CLINTON to answer!

Superdelegates

The Democratic Party must be democratic. The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama; write your Senator, Congressman, and anyone else involved in this process to tell them to “PLEASE support the people’s choice”, not political maneuvering or bias!

Why has Obama received so many less superdelegates than Clinton? Shouldn’t the voters decide this? Yet the Primary election results, for 2 states in particular, are:

NY State primaries:
Vote: Clinton – 57%, Obama – 40%
Superdelegates: Clinton – 41, Obama – 1

California primaries:
Vote: Clinton – 52%, Obama – 42%
Superdelegates: Clinton – 27, Obama – 13

Doesn’t this seem skewed?

The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama, PLEASE help support the people’s choice.

Think of the relatives who have paid the ultimate price

OPEN LETTER TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

March 17th, 2008

Dear Gov. Dean and Democratic National Committee,

I appreciate the update email that you sent to me concerning the future of the Democratic Presidential candidate.

I look forward to the selection of our next President.

However, there are a few major issues that I want to speak about and I think you should take these problems seriously and DO something about the problems as well.

The first major issue that I’d like to point out is that the DNC is in the process of ALIENATING the Democratic voters in the states of Florida and Michigan by denying them the right to vote for their Presidential candidate of choice. This is not only un-Democratic and un-Constitutional, this is wholly Anti-American and unfair. I see that an attorney from FLA has opened suite today to fight for their rights, I’m not surprised. What a mess. Regardless of party rules, NO VOTING CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHOULD BE DENIED THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE. THIS IS A SHAME TO THE DNC, and in my opinion you should be doing more to ensure that every American get their right to vote.

The second major issue is that of a candidate that has displayed a level of AntiPatriotism and AntiAmericanism so damaging, he should be ejected immediately from the race for being the next President. The candidate I’m speaking of, as you probably already know, is Barack Obama. Obama’s association with those who seek to deliver our country unto the Apocalypse is only exceeded by the “audacity” of this individual’s underestimation of the Patriotism that Americans truly represent and believe in. Barack Obama is not a patriot and is an Anti-American to the core. This man cannot be our next president. Through subtle displays of AntiPatriotism and the finale of ultimate distrust, Barack Obama has displayed a pattern of his true Anti-American character. It is impossible for Obama to divorce himself from 20 years of sitting in the pews of a church and being good buddies with a pastor that seeks whole-heartedly to deliver our great country unto such hate and complete Anarchy. Shame on Obama for underestimating the patriotic will of America. No makeup speech can vouch for this complete and utter failure in judgement and disregard for America. Obama is FINISHED. Sometimes members of a campaign fail in their ambitions and cross the line that should not be crossed. When this happens, the offender departs the campaign and the remaining people continue on to salvage the contest. In this particular case, the candidate himself has crossed the line, and so therefore the candidate himself must duly resign and leave the party so that the remainders can continue to carry on the Democratic National Committee towards the Presidency that is rightfully deserved.

Hillary Clinton has taken a beating, an unfair and drawn out beating that no Presidential candidate deserves, and yet Hillary has made it through to the other side. Hillary has stood strong, in the face of opposition, and in the face of repeated and undeserved attacks, again and again. It is for these reasons that Hillary deserves the crown of being our next Democratic Presidential Candidate. Hillary has passed the test of the endless pounding by standing tall against all odds and it is for this reason that she is most fit to take on Mr. McCain in the General Election.

Governor Dean and DNC, Please align yourself with that which is right. That which is our future. Align yourself in support of Hillary Clinton for President.

Obama’s close pastor friend “Da*ns” America! Obama says he wasn’t in attendence for the hate but has been the slanderous Pastor’s good buddy for 20 years – OBAMA IS NOT FIT TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

This is VERY SERIOUS NEWS for Patriotic America.
This type of problem makes it basically IMPOSSIBLE for Obama to be elected our President

Articles like these need to take hold:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008…

And messages like the one below are ALL OVER the INTERNET! There are pages with 300+ comments with many that express American disagreement with Obama and his “If it’s bad, I denounce it stance”

Add me as yet another American who sees through Obama’s baloney. Time to clean house and get rid of the candidates that slander our beloved United States. Much Blood, Sweat, and Tears have been poured into making this country great and we’re not going to put up with this type of hatred of the USA.

Obama is AntiAmerican and AntiPatriotic. This golden-throated promiser of good will has not passed the American Patriot test of heartfelt love for the land and our Constitution. By being AntiPatriotic, Obama has cursed the hundreds of thousands of Americans that have paid the ultimate price(of life) to make America the place that it is today. We’ve already suffered 8 years of a terrible president, let’s not make it worse by electing a liar and hypocrite that is using the shame of the current president to ride to the top. America needs Patriots, not slanderers of our way of life.s

Obama’s God and Pastor “Da*n” America for defending herself from terrorists:
http://tinyurl.com/3×5md4

Michelle Obama slips and let’s out the “Let’s Hate America” sentiment that she studies at church:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVLc7B5cLLc

Obama doesn’t follow US code, and more importantly shows that he is not a heartfelt patriot by either forgetting or refusing(which is worse?) to place his hand on his heart during the playing of the National Anthem (although all other candidates have their hand on their heart):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccbPVMBKQpA&feature…
And here’s the link to the US Code which shows that government officials(as in senators) should place their right hand on their heart during the National Anthem:
http://tinyurl.com/3346o7
and
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/36/301.html

The President is responsible for upholding the Flag of the United States. Obama’s “refusing” to wear the flag on his chest shows there is a problem with his character as he’s displaying the hatred he has for America and everything that has happened for the past 200+ years to make America what it is today. No childish game of defacing the flag should be tolerated by a person who is trying to become the #1 Patriot in the land. No person that desecrates our stars and stripes should be allowed the responsibility of protection our Constitution and our way of life. Ask Obama, if wearing the flag does not show patriotism, why are soldiers and presidents that are no longer with us having their coffins draped in the colors of the United States? Our United States Flag is no parlor joke, this is a symbol of America(that hundreds of thousands have died in protection of) that you’re making seem like a “pin made in china”.

“Minister of Controversy
Obama was not the only national African-American figure to cozy up to Wright. TV host Oprah Winfrey once described herself as a congregant, but in recent years has disassociated herself from the controversial minister.”
Sounds like Oprah had the right idea. Perhaps Obama should have taken some advice from her.

Believe in separation of Church and Politics? How about Obama’s Church? But then when a campaign works against two ENTIRE states loosing their right to vote in the Presidential Primaries, I guess an investigation by the IRS for breech of church-non-profit status is to be expected. Shame on Politicians that preach change and then run the dirty tactics in the background.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/02/2…

Everyone makes mistakes and flubs up, but when the same patterns of flubs continue to reappear, it becomes obvious what a person’s true character is all about.

Denouncement after Denouncement – after awhile people should wonder how a person got themselves into the situation in the first place. Obama has run out of denouncements, it’s time to wake up and denounce the Rat Obama America!

Please do America a service and get this problem into the open so people can make a more informed selection for President.

Don’t belive me? Check the many many websites out there with 300+ comments of the same message.

Regards,
American Citizen and Informed Voter
