The U.S. ambassador in Nairobi, Mike Ranneberger, hosted a party yesterday to commemmorate American Independence Day. It was not your typical July 4th barbecue.
[...]
Raila Odinga, the new prime minister, was a big hit, turning up in a stars-and-stripes tie (which I presume he got on his recent trip to Washington). But an even bigger star arrived a few moments later: Sarah Obama (right), the paternal step-grandmother of a certain U.S. Senator, who traveled a long way from her far western village but looked none the worse for wear…

Long before Barack Obama contended for the White House, the Kenya-U.S. relationship was tight — and lucrative for the Kenyan government, which gets about $1 billion in U.S. government aid. In his remarks, Ranneberger stressed the strength of this relationship and praised Kenyans for forming a coalition government to end, or at least paper over, the election violence. He quoted several Swahili proverbs (”Every door has its own key,” was the only one I understood), while Raila took to the stage and quoted Thomas Jefferson (”endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights”). It was quite the lovefest. (Source)

It is interesting to note that some Kenyans recognize a bit of RINO blood in Mr. Ranneberger.

The US ambassador to Kenya is a jumpy-jumpy man. He was appointed by the Republicans and Bush to serve in Kenya. Now he realises that the republicans may be defeated in November then he starts telling Kenyans that the Americans are ready to be lead by Obama. The same ambassador has been pushing for Raila to be respected as PM in Kenya. May be he wants a job from Obama if he wins and most definitely, he may ask the US government to remain in Kenya until he sees Kibaki out of power. This man - Ranneberger is very disturbing. George Bush, his boss should punish him by recalling him now that instead of supporting Senator Mcain, who is taking over from Bush if the republicans win, he starts to support Obama, a man from a different party. As long as he remains in Kenya, the Kenyan politicians will continue to suffer in his hands because he uses the might of his country and money to supress Kenyan leaders. Since whedn have Kenyans heard a Kenyan ambassador in the US say a word and yet this Ranneberger man is talking all the time all over Kenya. (Source)

From February 2008…

The secret details of the high-level meetings US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held with President Kibaki and ODM leader Raila Odinga in her few hours of diplomacy in Nairobi can be revealed today.
[...]

On the basis of the information gathered since the disputed elections, Dr Rice is said to have delivered to President Kibaki and his team on the one side and to ODM leader Raila Odinga (man on right on photo) and his group on the other a three-fold message laying out the concerns of the United States and the international community.
[...]
The third issue was based purely on Washington’s concern over international terrorism. It is understood Dr Rice told the two sides that the US believed that should political instability take hold in Kenya, then terrorism would have found a new home.
[...]
Dr Rice reminded the government and ODM of America’s war on terror and the suspected Al Qaeda activities in the neighbouring Somalia which is struggling to establish a central government after 17 years of civil war.

I wonder, if at the time of her mission, that Rice was aware that Raila Odinga, Barack Obama’s cousin, had already made commitments to Kenyan muslims promising to thwart America’s efforts to prosecute terrorists, in addition to promising that he would help institute sharia law.

Even more sinister has been Mr. Odinga’s electoral pact with the National Muslim Leaders’ Forum — a hardline Islamist organization that represents Kenya’s Muslim minority. According to this document, dated August 29, 2007, Mr. Odinga promised the Muslim leaders that, if elected, he would establish Sharia courts, not only in the northern and coastal regions where Kenyan Muslims are concentrated, but throughout the country.

He also promised to impose Muslim dress codes on women, ban alcohol and pork, indoctrinate children, ban Christian preaching, and dismiss the Commissioner of Police “who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists.”

In short, Mr. Odinga in effect offered to Islamize Kenya in return for Muslim votes, despite the fact that Muslims make up only 10% of the population, compared to the 80% who are Christian. Mr. Odinga himself is nominally an Anglican, yet he signed a document that refers to Islam throughout as “the one true religion” and denigrates Christians as “worshippers of the cross.” (Source)

Well, it seems that the “National Muslim Leaders” intend to collect on all of Odinga’s promises. It sounds like they get their victim training from CAIR - some of this garbage comes straight from their handbook. How dare anyone accuse poor abused muslims of terror.

We would like to remind you, Honourable Prime Minister Sir, of the memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that you signed with Muslim leaders prior to the last general elections, where you committed yourself to stand as a beacon of hope in the face of injustice, and support institutions where ‘credible evidence’ and not ‘ethnicity’ was the barometer of guilt.

In particular we would like to draw your attention to clause (E)(b)(4) of the memorandum where you committed yourself to ‘specific action’ to protect the rights of marginalised groups in the country:

‘Specific action will include the setting up of a commission to inquire on deliberate schemes and actions of the government , its agencies or officers, to target or interfere with welfare and social well-being of Muslims in Kenya as citizens including renditioning of Kenyans to Somalia, Ethiopia and Guantanamo Bay. Such schemes and actions will be put to an end and public officers responsible for the same named and held to account .’

With the foregoing Mr. Prime Minister Sir, we would like to humbly pose the following questions to you:

• When will the government of Kenya bring back the deportees to be accorded justice in Kenyan jurisdiction as the constitution and laws of the land provide?

[...]
[ed note: violin playing, insert CAIR whine]
The Muslims are a community that has lived under the blinding glare of injustices, reaching the peak with the so called US war on terror, being forced to cower as foreign powers seek to convince the world of their righteousness and of the guilt of Muslims. Their moral superiority has been eroded dramatically as they blatantly flout the same rules that they have established to govern themselves, but which they feel Muslims are not worthy of. Hitherto hallowed fundamental human rights principles like adherence to the Rule of Law; Prohibition against Torture and Protection against Arbitrary Detention have been discarded on the wayside and left Muslims open to the arm of their tyranny.
[...]

Suffice it to say that your promise to deal with the whole issue of human rights violations in the guise of fighting terrorism and specifically the renditions endeared you to majority Muslim voters and defenders of human rights. We pray that you shall not be party to their feeling continuously let down even by the grand coalition government.
Letter by Muslim Human Rights Forum (MHRF) to THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA RT. HON RAILA AMOLO ODINGA EGH, EBS MP (Friday June 05 2008)

Obama’s Vow Could Threaten Industry

– Barack Obama on Tuesday vowed he would break America’s addiction to “dirty, dwindling and dangerously expensive” oil if he is elected U.S. president — and one of his first targets might well be Canada’s oilsands.

A senior adviser to Obama’s campaign told reporters it’s an “open question” whether oil produced from northern Alberta’s oilsands fits with the Democratic candidate’s plan to shift the U.S. sharply away from consumption of carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

“If it turns out that those technologies don’t advance … and the only way to produce those resources would be at a significant penalty to climate change, then we don’t believe that those resources are going to be part of the long-term, are going to play a growing role in the long-term future,” said Jason Grumet, Obama’s senior energy adviser.
The remarks amount to a shot across the bow of Alberta’s oilsands industry, which is planning to boost production from 1.3 million barrels a day to 3.5 million barrels over the next decade.

The industry has come under sustained attack from U.S. environmentalists over the past year because the production of its heavy oil emits an estimated three times more greenhouse gases than conventional oil.

Kenyans, and Africans in general, seem to have rather high expectations should Obama win the presidency. I’m sure Americans will be more than willing to foot the bill.

It is amazing that a country like Kenya, or any damn nation for that matter, dare to presume what America will do for them should Obama win. America does not belong to the world, but when you have a socialist running for office, the wolves lick their lips, scenting blood.

May Obama’s grandmother’s prayers die stillborn on her lips.

In Mombasa, the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya Organising Secretary, Sheikh Mohamed Khalifa, urged Obama to stick to his manifesto which has earned him wide support and to steer away from US President George W’ Bush’s “confrontational policies”.

“Apart from being close to Africa, we expect Obama to move away from confrontational policies and unite the US and the rest of the world if he finally wins the presidency,” Khalifa said.

ODM-Kenya nominated MP, Ms Shakila Abdalla, said Obama’s victory was an achievement for Kenyans and Africa.

“Because Obama has roots in Kenya, we expect the US and Kenya to forge close ties. We are praying for his victory in the presidential poll,” Shakila said.

And North Eastern Province on Wednesday took delight in Obama’s victory. The predominantly Muslim province came to the limelight during the primaries early this year when Obama’s rival, Mrs Hillary Clinton’s campaign team circulated pictures on the Internet of Obama in Somali traditional attire taken in Wajir.

An elder, Mr Mohammed Hassan Mumin, who was photographed dressing Obama during the senator’s visit to Wajir, said they were happy that Obama was a step away from the presidency.

Mr Maalim Hussein, a teacher at a Quranic school in Garissa, said: “He was a victim of smear campaigns from the Clintons for embracing our attire, but we kept praying for his success and we are celebrating today.”

He added: “We also pray that he becomes the next US president so that he can help our impoverished province and Africa.”

Mr Christopher Njoroge, who lives in Washington, Seattle, said on the telephone: “This is great victory. It is victory for all America that wants real change.”

And from Des Moines, Iowa, Ms Nancy Mwirotsi, a key Obama supporter and mobiliser in a State that gave Obama his first victory, shed tears.

“For me, Obama’s victory is not just about himself and his family, it is about many young Kenyans here who look up to him as their role model,” she said.(Source)
[ed:emphasis mine]

It seems that Kenyan expectations are well on their way to being met - on your dime. What are you paying for gas and groceries these days? Notice anything coming out of Obama’s mouth that bodes well for the American economy? Didn’t think so.

APA-Nairobi (Kenya) The United States government on Sunday pledged to give more than 1 billion shillings($15 million) towards the implementation of the coalition accord, as well as advancing reconciliation and reconstruction efforts.

APA-Nairobi (Kenya) United States will give Kenya $75 million in support of the grand coalition government formed between President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga in February, US ambassador to Michael Ranneberger said on Thursday.

Addressing a press conference in Nairobi, he said the money will be granted to Kenya after the US Congress approves the funds.

He said the funds will be used for key reforms key including electoral, constitutional and land reforms.

Ranneberger said the funds are in addition to the $25 million already granted to resettle over 300,000 displaced persons left homeless following the post-poll violence triggered by December 27 presidential elections.

As American as Al Capone

Understanding the disaster of an Obama presidency doesn’t require a road map. Just visit Chicago. Better yet, start perusing headlines out of Europe to see the what the effects of socialism has had on any given nation. We shall go from “America the Beautiful” to “America the Ruined” as quick as you can say “Obamanation.”

Barack Obama’s _amerikka bears no relation to the America of our founding fathers. As we approach the Fourth of July there sits on Capital Hill Hussein Obama’s Global Poverty Tax, a piece of legislation that makes a mockery of the Boston Tea Party and about every principle upon which this nation was founded.

Obama’s grand theme is to spread America’s wealth to the world’s poor, as the onetime community organizer from the streets of South Chicago goes global.

The species of hope that Barack Obama preaches is a first cousin of disappointment. He speaks to his followers as though they are victims, and it resonates with them because victimhood is a latent element of their collective self-image. Most of the younger ones in his audiences face historically unprecedented educational and vocational opportunities. Within the reasonable grasp of their individual initiatives is a future that is the envy of most of the world’s youth. Yet they look longingly for someone from the government to offer them hope.

He says, “It’s not too late to claim the American dream,” and they cheer wildly, and some even cry.

Don’t they know that the American dream isn’t a wish granted by a politician, or an entitlement from the government? Do they need a political seer to tell them what to hope for, and dream of, because they are unable to find it for themselves? (Source)

And that is how Obama weakens America. No, that’s how he eviscerates America’s very spine from her body. He summons forth from each citizen not the warrior, but the whiner, not the innovator, but the complainer, the wannabe dreamers with neither the will nor spine to capture their dreams on their own.

Can you imagine what this country would be like were America’s pioneers made of the same moth eaten material as Obama and his febrile supporters? They would have never made it inland from the east coast, let alone successfully execute a war against England and go on to building the greatest nation ever to be established on this planet. I can just see the Obama settlers waiting around for the government to build them a freaking road West and guarantee safe passage while they try to talk nice to some savage Indians (Yes, boys and girls, Indians could be very very nasty too) who just burned their houses down.

Obama supporters would not have had a Boston Tea Party, but a Boston Pity Party.

But let’s put aside the pilfering of our hard earned dollars by this glassy eyed socialist; “One estimate is 0.7% of gross national product, or an additional $845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid expenditures.” Let’s look at the very real threat to American sovereignty that this travesty introduces.

These goals include a “standing peace force” (i.e. a U.N. standing army), a “U.N. Arms register” of all small arms and light weapons, “peace education” covering “all levels from preschool through university,” and “political control of the global economy.” The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise American sovereignty. (Virtual “Global Poverty Act” Tea Party)

and…

By adopting the Millennium goals in 2000, the U.N. escalated its demands 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.”

It doesn’t bother U.N. sycophants that most U.S. handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the U.N., and that only 30% of our foreign aid ever reaches the poor. U.N. bureaucrats accuse the U.S. of being “stingy” in its 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 comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.Obama’s 0.7% Solution For Poverty Gets Pass From Senate Republicans

I have yet to hear a phrase that more powerfully evokes the essence of Obama’s message and being. I call him a victim pimp put the “Pied Piper of Powerlessness” is far more poetic and beautifully sketches an image of those who have been mesmerized by his narcotic melodies.

The video below is a succinct summation of the man who would be king. A wounded man - the most dangerous kind. Following that are some excerpts from “The Mask of Barack Obama: A Psychological Profile.”

Excerpts from “The Mask of Barack Obama: A Psychological Profile”

In his book “Dreams From my Father,” Obama lays out the foundation for an examination of his character and personality. That seminal work reveals much, and almost all of what it reveals is truthful and applicable to his presidential prospects.

Obama’s life began with loss, hurt, confusion, alienation, frustration. Out of these he constructed a psychological “mask” that still endures.

Every individual wears a mask. It is a part of reality and a part of a healthy personality and psyche.
But Obama’s pain still controls his personality. Like Dr. Strangelove’s arm, that can’t help rising, Obama’s sense of loss, exclusion, frustration and fantasy still overarch his personality. He authored a book “Dreams From My Father,” when in reality he got no dreams from his father. Obama created his father’s “dreams” in his own fantasy world. The fantasies associated with the “missing parent” are among the most powerful, the most enduring and occasionally the most devastating in human experience.

He was “Barry” until he went to college. Then he became the tribal Barack. But on his first visit to his “roots” in Kenya, he once again succumbs to “Barry,” because that is what his father and family called him.

He apparently held and still holds Kenyan-American dual nationality, but has scrupulously avoided any discussion of his “dual” status. Duality is not what Obama craves: he craves the singular, the linear, and the straight and narrow, to compensate for his own confused and winding initiation into the hardship of life and family, of creating a personality and mask consonant with his troubled feelings.

Over and over again, Obama returns in his speeches and in his writings to a sense of loss, alienation, detachment. He is a skillful promoter, and he manages to overcome his mask, to gild it with soft statements and lofty promises. He sells his weakness as a new paradigm of strength, security and clarity when there is little strength and no clarity in his mind.
Indeed the very essence of his personality is the perpetual, eternal promise unfulfilled. Obama’s “Hope” is the absence of reality, the unattainable in his own life scaled up to a national fantasy which he hopes to peddle to unsuspecting voters and especially young people. When he fails, they will feel betrayed.

[...]
Ultimately, Obama’s personality matrix left Obama weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight. His mother raised someone who would run away, not stand his ground. And in Iraq that could prove fatal.

Obama says his campaign is “not just about me.” But in his mind it will always be just about him. Righting the wrongs he perceived and experienced as a child. Strengthening the powerlessness he reviled. Restoring his role, the one his siblings called his father’s “Obama” attitude, in the pantheon of politics. He will strive to be a strong leader on the surface, using powerful language and images; but inside he will still be the pied piper of powerlessness. And know it.

Obama has succeeded largely by his successful concealment at the margins. Obama’s natural tendency, his default state of mind, is to evade, conceal, avoid–and escape. He managed to hide his middle name in 2004; he can’t any longer. Questions of family background will still plague him.

[..]

War is war, but war is also psychology. Obama’s psychology is weak…Obama is still the outsider, still the one who needs to justify himself, and still the one who still needs to create a fantasy land and to compensate for the void left by his absent father.

As much as Obama might try to change his face, to abandon his “old” Obama for a “new” persona, he cannot do so. His growth is limited by the demons within him. The mask is rigid, hardened.
He approached the American people as though he were speaking to a college audience, casual and insufficiently serious for someone who asks for the right to put his hand on the nuclear button as well as Washington’s bible.

[Ed:all emphasis mine]

Obama’s dual citizenship is unacceptable, but then his 2006 trip to Kenya in support of his Marxist cousin Raila Odingawas also unacceptable in a sitting senator, especially one that has spent his entire political life campaigning for office. I’m betting that most Americans would find much about Obama that is unacceptable, none of which has much to do with the color of his skin. But the media will certainly not examine these issues. The boring, never ending and baseless mewling about racism releases into the air like a noxious gas anytime anyone brings to bear the many failings and duplicities of this puppet Obama.

And puppet he most assuredly is, dangling by the gilded strings of Soros and company.

Touted as what is destined to be history’s president of firsts, Senator Barack Obama could be the first Commander in Chief to oversee a military force with foreign recruits?

Ugandans, who want a career in the United States military, can sign up at the annual convention of the Uganda North American Association (UNAA), scheduled to run between August 29 and August 31.
[...]
When Democrats took control of Congress, they promised to make increasing the size of the military one of their top legislative priorities in 2007.

While their incessant threats to withdraw troops from Iraq found media headlines, they’ve been working on increasing the size of the military with noncitizens.

They ought not defile the title of Commander-in-Chief by placing it in such close proximity to Barak Obama’s name. Be that as it may, this idea of having Ugandans serve with American men and women most emphatically defiles the United States military, not to even consider how it undermines our security. This reeks to high heaven of some pureed-brain, pentagon putz’s wet dreams of turning the US Military into some UN circus adjunct.

Analysts warning that a large number of noncitizens under arms could jeopardize national security, and the potential for rankling the courageous, all-volunteer American troops already serving their country, make foreign recruitment for the US military a hot topic.

I have a better idea. Let’s just let the Gitmo terrorists sign up. Screw a trial, screw 9.11. Let’s let bygones be bygones. Anyway, Cuba is closer than Uganda- it’s a bargain all the way around. I mean if this country is going to continue this suicidal march, by all means, let’s accelerate the pace.

While we are at it, let’s ship some Hamas in to guard our borders. I mean, why not? Half of America is ready to elect a Marxist puppet as president. What the hell will security matter once that nightmarish possibility steps into the daylight as reality?

Will Ugandans in the US military feel loyalty to the United States of America or to a president they see as a radical agent of change?

Most know about Obama’s ties to Kenya and that co-President Raila Odinga has claimed a tribal kinship with the Illinois senator.

Few realize the fever pitch of Obama support in Uganda, home of UFOs–Ugandans for Obama.

Part of the Eastern African region that could some day be included in the United States of Africa, some Ugandans and Kenyans see Obama as much the president of the United States of Africa as he would be the president of the United States of America.
Uganda People’s Congress communication chief Benson Ogwant Echonga said: “In Obama, we see a new America”.
Read it All…Will Obama be first Commander in Chief to oversee a military force with foreign recruits?

The only people who will be singing Kumbaya over a campfire one day will be the armies of our enemies, warming their hands around the blazing flames of America burning. And those would be about the only troops Barack Hussein Obama is well qualified to lead.

Okay, so I was wrong… The most damaging endorsement possible for Obama isn’t from The Goracle.

From OneFreeKorea:

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance.

Kim Jong-Il, eh? “I velly pweased to endwoss Obama faw Amelica.

All across the globe cowering elites in every nation huddle behind their many byzantine obfuscations, like over educated crack heads they fervently cook equations and theories on which to hang their nightmare climate visions, calculating, with dour glee, the deconstruction of the civilized world.

Barack Obama intones sonorous chords of doom, a black magician summoning the tribal spirits of Mother Earth, demanding that Americans not look towards the stars but, instead, bow their heads in servitude, paint their faces in ash and pay penance for having created the most vital, free and prosperous nation on earth.

For a political ideolgy rooted in humanism and secularism, far too many on the left have a terrifying tendency to devolve into evangelical snake handlers, speaking in tongues, babbling insanities.
From The Religion of Environmentalism

There is a certain type of person in the Western world. Well meaning people who think that they hold the fate of the world in their hands and who think that they can save the world…and who think that you have to help.

These are the people who live by the three R’s. They want to drive a Prius but can’t quite afford one yet. They casually talk about Global Warming like it’s a fact but who have never even bothered to investigate the science behind “Climate Change”. These people are members of the new religion - the religion of environmentalism. And guess what? They are just as passionate and just as illogical as adherents of any other religion. And guess who is a member of the New Church? Obama…

The blogger above goes on to introduce Orson Scott Card’s treatise on “Obama’s New Religion”. I excerpt some below, but highly recommend that you read it all.

Barack Obama’s comments…reveal him to be in the religious-faith category. The Environmental Puritans believe that any opposition to their dogmas is heresy, and that anything that doesn’t match their vision of how humans should live is a sin.

Since their vision of how humans should live is “without making any difference in how the world would be without humans,” we are all, alas, sinners. However, some are more sinful than others, and the United States is the most sinful of all.

No, not China, because the Environmental Puritans, like the rest of the world, expect America to live by a higher standard than other nations. Fair enough — we claim to be a special nation, and so we should meet a higher standard.

Still, the Environmental Puritans agree with the ayatollahs on this one point: America is the Great Satan. And Obama echoes that view when he refers to our gasoline consumption, our eating, and our air-conditioning and heating as if they were sins for which we are accountable to the rest of the world.
[...]
When Obama says we eat too much — we, whose surpluses feed so many nations that when we cut back a little on food production in order to make ethanol it causes near famine elsewhere — what is he suggesting?

Is he saying that, as president, he would put us all on a diet?

Is he going to wave his hand and make people whose genes predispose them to gain weight suddenly have the metabolism of naturally skinny people? Can’t wait for that change!

Or is he simply going to ration food, so we don’t eat so much? What, exactly, is his solution to the problem of environmentally sinful America?
[...]
The correct solution to the oil problem, according to the Puritans, is to have fewer humans. Now, I haven’t noticed them volunteering to lessen the population starting with themselves; nor have I seen their heroes bicycling everywhere (environmental ayatollah Al Gore’s plane being a legendary instance).But they do systematically resist every solution that doesn’t involve wrecking the American economy and destroying the American way of life.

[...]
It’s so Calvinist, so Jonathan Edwards. To the environmentalists, the only reason we aren’t a spider suspended by God’s will over the fires of hell is that spiders are natural and don’t deserve to be punished.
[...]

...you finally begin to suspect that the goal of the purest of the puritans is gotterdammerung, apocalypse, the environmental armageddon: The collapse of the world economic order, the abandonment of advanced technology, and the death of nine-tenths of the human race.

Only when we are reduced to half a billion people, or less, will we finally have a chance of being saved — in the view of the Puritan Environmentalists.

That is the religion whose doctrine Obama is quoting when he says, “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”

[ed:all emphasis mine]

Typical progressive isn’t he? Just as Reprogressives try to appropriate and distort marriage, Christianity and America, Obama chooses to appropriate the Presidential seal with this none tooo subtle rendering. He could have at least used a vulture instead of an eagle. A bird of prey picking the bones off of carrion far better symbolizes Barack Obama’s intent for America than the noble eagle.

H/T: LGF commenter

Quick link before I go to work. Just something to cheer you up this morning.
So stupid Obambi turns down $80 million in public financing just as his contributions are way below his expectations. Captain Ed has the story.
People have been wringing their hands over his apparent money advantage over John McCain, but remember last summer when Mc was going broke and was all but written off? I think he learned a lesson there, it’s a classic tortoise and hare story.

There is not one front, one arena, one issue where Barack Obama is acceptable. So it is no surprise to find that he would trash the Supreme Court. It is well worth following the link to read the entire post, but here is the excerpt that says it all for me.

Barack Obama and the Supreme Court

by JimByrd
Where does that place Barack Obama, who taught Constitutional law, albeit historically iniquitous? It exposes him as an extreme constitutional anarchist. He truly believes that Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David H. Souter are the epitome of Constitutional law. He stated concerning these three, “I want people on the bench who have enough empathy, enough feeling, for what ordinary people are going through.” He has also expanded on what he believes the role the Supreme Court should be:

I taught constitutional law for 10 years, and . . . when you look at what makes a great Supreme Court justice, it’s not just the particular issue and how they rule, but it’s their conception of the Court. And part of the role of the Court is that it is going to protect people who may be vulnerable in the political process, the outsider, the minority, those who are vulnerable, those who don’t have a lot of clout.
Sometimes we’re only looking at academics or people who’ve been in the lower court. If we can find people who have life experience and they understand what it means to be on the outside, what it means to have the system not work for them, that’s the kind of person I want on the Supreme Court.

We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.

Barack Obama seems to have the job description of a social worker confused with the role of a Supreme Court justice. Perhaps Obama believes the country would be better off if the Supreme Court were substituted with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals–the most overturned court in the U.S. history. His sophomoric ideas of what should constitute the character of a Supreme Court justice has crossed the threshold of absurdity and landed in the iron clutches of adolescence ignorance. He believes the Supreme Court should be the protector of the vulnerable, regardless of de jure; regardless of right or wrong; regardless of the Constitution v. empathy, heart, poor, disabled, African-American, gay, or old. The Supreme Court’s role is to protect the constitutional rights of anyone–rich, poor, vulnerable, powerful, etc. Once again, Barack Obama has demonstrated his lack of intelligence, and in this instance, his chosen field.

Though the media and their messiah, Barack Hussein Obama, want Americans to believe that 9.11 was an aberration, that Islam presents no threat, the evidence paints a vivid picture to the contrary. Listed below is only a partial list of threats and plots that have been thwarted.

So it kind of makes you wonder why Obama wants to weaken our defenses. No other major power is contemplating doing so. Russia is actually ramping up. A recent report describes blueprints for an advanced nuclear warhead being found in the possession of smugglers who have been supplying bomb parts to Iran. You know, the country Obama wants to include in his kumbaya world tour whose leader has never deviated from his obsession with obliterating America

It all makes you wonder why Obama wants to cripple America militarily. Doesn’t it?
