Current Obama Strategy
by an Obama Who? contributor;
Yea! Bill Clinton is running for President again!?! We have Clyburn out there yelling that Bill is a racist, they are drudging up the impeachment again, drudging up the Monica stuff again and bashing him all over the media! What’s the matter, can’t get anything on Hillary herself so go after Bill? I thought Hillary was the one running for President? Oh, did they miss that maybe the Clintons’ dog wet on the floor? They have bashed everything else they can think of. It is pathetic for them to try and paint Bill Clinton as a racist that is just plain wrong. After all the racists are voting for McCain anyways according to Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe. Hey didn’t we see this race baiting strategy just before the South Carolina primary?

Honestly I feel that Obama has turned back race relations in this country about 50 years. Know what? Go ahead and call me a racist, because I frankly don’t care. Why? Because I know I am not and if someone calls me a racist I could care less. It is getting to be one of the most over used words in the English language right up there with the word “love” which is used to describe everything we ‘like’. The word racist is flung around so much that it has lost its power over people. Besides, I am a Democrat so I can’t be a racist because they are all voting for McCain and I can’t be a sexist so I guess I just have to be a regular person who makes up my own mind huh? So if Obama becomes the nominee I then become a racist, will vote for McCain, and darn I thought it was just because I DON’T LIKE Obama, his questionable friends, his weak policies, or the way he has disrespectfully treated Hillary that I would vote for McCain. I honestly didn’t know I was a racist so thanks for the heads up Mr Obama Campaign Manager Moron! Glad you know my motives better than I do.
Is it just me or do other people feel there is a conspiracy going on in this election? A couple months ago Howard Dean and the pundits were out there and screaming that the superdelegates CANNOT go against the popular vote. Dick Morris sat out there and said they wouldn’t dare go against the popular vote. Of course that was when Obama had the popular vote from Cook County where all the dead miraculously rose from their graves to vote for him with a lot of the votes from empty lots as well. So, now Hillary has the popular vote and Howard Dean is screaming that Superdelegates CAN go against the popular vote and they can do anything they want to! Wow! Changing the rules are we? How many times have we heard Donna Brazille out there screaming, the rules, the rules we can’t change the rules. I say why not? You made the rules, you were instrumental in getting Florida and Michigan stripped of their delegates and you can sure change the rules if it is for Obama now can’t you? Funny how the rules only apply to one of the Democratic candidates and the other one they can be changed for at will. I keep waiting for Dean and Brazille to get out on TV and start jumping up and down and screaming PLEASE STOP AND JUST GIVE IT TO BARACK!! Whaaaaaa! I so want to record this if they do. Maybe that is why the DNC is waiting until the last moment to see if Florida and Michigan will count when it may be too late for Hillary? After all the rules are the rules and cheating is cheating now isn’t it? And remember, help Obama at all costs (even losing the general election ) and stop Hillary any way you can so sayeth the DNC!

So if anyone does not know, Hillary Clinton picked up another superdelegate today, Kathy Sullivan of New Hampshire. Thank you Kathy.

I have to agree that the race card has been played way to often. Calling a man like Bill Clinton a racist is just way out of line. He has done a lot to help the AA people over the years and this is how he gets repaid? This just isn’t right.

He’s a racist just like Obama, but worse yet, Obama is a UN shill.
You’ll be interested in reading this excerpt from the April issue of the Eagle Report concerning the disastrous effects of the UN’s Millenium Development Goals on the US economy and taxpayers. One of those goals is being implemented by Obama’s Global Poverty Act (S 2433) now going through Congress. The Millenium Development Goals include the mandate for the UN to control “peace education” covering “all levels from pre-school through university,” (see highlighted section)
Not surprisingly, these goals were approved by Clinton before he left office in 2000.

When is this going to end? NEVER!!! because the world hates us and covets our wealth and freedom. Any Republican who supports this crap is no Republican at all.
Reject All Plans for UN Taxes
Why are Republicans in Congress trying to help Barack Obama (D-IL)? Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote (without any hearings), which means there was no roll-call vote so we can hold any Member accountable. It passed the House by voice vote last year.
Obama’s costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill, which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433). It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7% of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.
Obama’s bill would require the President “to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”
The scariest phrase in Obama’s bill is Millennium Development Goal. That refers to the Declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly and Summit in 2000 (blessed by President Bill Clinton) which called for the “eradication of poverty” by “redistribution [of] wealth and land,” cancellation of “the debts of developing countries,” and “a fair distribution of the earth’s resources” (from the United States to the rest of the world, of course).
The Millennium project is monitored by Jeffrey D. Sachs, a Columbia University economist. In 2005 he presented then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan with a 3,000-page report based on the research of 265 so-called poverty specialists. Sachs’ document criticized the United States for giving only $16.3 billion a year in global anti-poverty aid. He argued that we should spend an additional $30 billion a year in order to reach the 0.7% target that the UN set for us in 2000.
Sachs says that the only way to force the United States to commit that much money is by a global tax, such as a tax on fossil fuels. Empowering the United Nations to impose a direct international tax on Americans has been a UN goal ever since the 1995 Copenhagen Summit.
By adopting the Millennium Goals in 2000, the UN escalated its demands for the UN to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”
Most of our foreign handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the UN, and only 30% of our foreign-aid money ever reaches the poor. UN bureaucrats accuse the United States of being “stingy” in our handouts to underdeveloped countries.
There is much more to the Millennium Goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The Goals set forth a plan to put the United States under UN global governance. These Goals include a “standing Peace Force” (i.e., a UN standing army), a “UN Arms register” of all small arms and light weapons, “peace education” covering “all levels from pre-school through university,” and “political control of the global economy.” The Goals call for implementing all the UN treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up UN monitoring committees to invade our sovereignty.
To achieve this level of control over U.S. domestic law, the plan calls for “strengthening the United Nations for the 21st Century” by “eliminating” the veto and permanent membership in the Security Council. The goal is to reduce U.S. influence to 1 out of 192 nations, so we would have merely the same vote as Cuba.
Obama’s Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium Goals of global governance and international taxes on Americans. Tell your Senators to kill this un-American UN bill.

I have to agree that the word has been used over and over again and it is just too much. Every time something goes on that is not liked the people involved are racist. Until recently people have been scared to call AA people racist but now they are getting the tag also. I find it refreshing that you call Obama out on what he is. In his own words in his books he bashes the “white folks” including his own mother as he decided not to be a part of her “race” white folks. She was also referred to as getting “jungle fever” and going after black men. Not a pretty picture to paint of someone now is it? I like black people, I like working with them and hanging out with them and hey to me they are no different than anyone else. Would I vote for a black President, you bet in a heart beat, just not this one. One of my AA friends told me he is making the black people look bad as they go out in droves to support him and it makes it look like they are voting just for color. He is voting for McCain himself and he said it is to make a statement that he can choose for himself and color is not the issue. It is sad when you think of it this way as all the whites do not rally behind Hillary or McCain. It should not be a matter or race but issues and it ticks me off when I hear the pundits saying Hillary can’t win North Carolina because it heavily black and therefore it automatically goes to Obama. That statement by the pundits is racist in itself as it makes the black people look as if they don’t care about the issues or the Democrat race itself but simply Obama’s color. That is such an unfair statement to make about these people. Just because a state is heavily black populated then we can automatically assume Obama will take it as he is black? The pundits need to give the AA people more credit for their intelligence. Many of them are aware of the issues, many of them do not like the idea of Avers, Wright, Rezko, Dohorm, and such and hey, they can think and they do know how to make their own choices. Stop putting them all into one category and lets see what they do in North Carolina before we judge what they do.
