Well, that does it for me! If , after all of this, the super delegates still try to push this guy through as the nominee, which they obviously have the power and the desire to do, since they “fear alienating their African American base”, then I say we all vote for McCain in November. The super delegates cannot control that! And if it means the destruction of their chances and of their party in November, then they have only themselves to blame. What I want to know is , since the African Americans only comprise 13 to 18% of the population, why aren’t they concerned about the other 82 to 87% of us? What more is there here that doesn’t meet the eye???

Obama loses my vote for President of Israel!
As for President of the United States, I’ll vote for him if he gets the nomination.

Remember back when The U.S. was so strong (sa y 2003), they didn’t care what other nations thought of them?

How can a person so in the dark, that he didn’t know (so he says)that the church he’s been a member of for that many years published an article in support of pro-terrorism, be fit for President? Let’s remember also that he’s a Senator, is he even fit for that.

#3 and #4, too bad Obama was indisputably pro-Palestinian until at least 2004. His is a Romneyesque epiphany at best, breathtaking deception at worst.

There is evidence that he was posing on Israel not long ago (2004?), and admitted as much. I’ll attempt to find it again. But if I don’t, I’ve seen it.

Aha. See the update.

That would represent a bit less than 16 years of Pali support.

Some “relief.”

JoeS,

Tom Blumer linked to a McClatchey article today, and in it, I found a paragraph that might help you to breathe a sigh of relief. â€œOn Middle East policy, Obama is strongly pro-Israel. He’s rejected an argument voiced by Wright that U.S. support of Israeli mistreatment of Palestinians helped fuel the 9-11 attacks.â€

#1 More double talk from the candidate of “Change.”

Does that mean “Change” from supporting an ally that offers its Arab citizens more freedom than Arab countries offer their own Arab citizens? Do the Palestinians protect the rights of religious minorities? Dhimmis!!

The publisher of Electronic Intifida has published that Obama told him that the Obama campaign only pays lip service to Israel because of the election.

http://www.electronicintifada.net/v2/article6619.shtml

“As he (Obama) came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”"

Hey, supporting terror, blowing up school children on public busses, why would America care about that? Maybe that is why the Senator wants to surrender to the terrorists in Iraq.

Anti-Semitism fits right in with the rest of Rev. Wright’s preaching. This public scrutiny is providing a clearer look at Obama’s core values. That may explain that Obama only apologizes after eight months. He agrees until he is forced to apologize. Do you really believe his denials?

Do you support the extermination of the nation of Israel?

#1, it’s anything but irrelevant. Why that’s the case has been asked and answered in the post and elsewhere. It all goes to the “20 years” and “what does he really believe” questions.

Even the MSM is starting to get it:

Tom, with all due respect, this Obama quote from your linked JTA Breaking News item seems to make everything youâ€™ve posted on church bulletins and Hamas seem â€œirrelevant.â€

“I have already condemned my former pastor’s views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasnâ€™t in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin,” Obama said in a statement emailed to JTA late Thursday, and referring to critics who noted that Obama had been in church when Wright had made controversial statements. “Hamas is a terrorist organization, responsible for the deaths of many innocents, and dedicated to Israel’s destruction, as evidenced by their bombarding of Sderot in recent months. I support requiring Hamas to meet the international community’s conditions of recognizing Israel, renouncing violence, and abiding by past agreements before they are treated as a legitimate actor.”

Thanks for the link.
