So what has Obama done ?

A new bill that is co-sponsored by Barak Obama and Democrat Senators Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Lugar, Richard Durbin, Chuck Hagel and Robert Menendez will increase foreign aid by the United States to a level that the UN dictates . Sugar coating it with a name no one could object to ;"Global Poverty Act,"(S.2433) , it essentially brings United States aid to levels that the UN has dictated in it's "Millennium Project "goals.(0.7% of GNP)

Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the U.N.'s "Millennium Project," says that the U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP in increased foreign aid spending would add $65 billion a year to what the U.S. already spends. Over a 13-year period, this amounts to $845 billion.

Does the US taxpayer gets the right to deduct from the contribution the cost of maintaining the global peace, maintaining and operating the GPS system and enforcing the UN armistice on the Korean Peninsula among others? I am sure the answer is, "no".

Obama has made his position clear . The candidate who will not wear an American flag on his lapel but allows his offices in Texas to fly banners of Che Guevara is taking his revolution global.

With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl! Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective and cold blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become…” Che Guevara.

Fidel's executioner glorified in a campaign office is nothing to fret about?

yes, the news article on him and the cuban flag came out on Monday from my understanding, perosnally I would not put it past another democratic canidate from leaking it.

But it was all over talk radio and some of the political news coverage.

The choice seems to be between a guy with an increasingly less conservative, but 82.3 percent lifetime ACU rating, a guy with an 8.0 percent lifetime ACU rating and Hillary, with a 9.0 percent lifetime ACU rating. As a conservative it seems like a no-brainer even if I'm not all that happy with the choice.

Ok, let's play your little game. I'll assume those quotes are indeed from Che. It begs the question: so what?

NK, what amazes me is you think it's a game. When I see Americans running around wearing Che T-shirts and images of Che in a campaign office of a presidential candidate I wonder why anyone would glorify this murderous thug.

The Cult of Che

Fidel's Executioner

Who's choice was it to hang the flag?
What values of Che does that person espouse (and would you know this answer)?

I have already noted Obama had nothing to do with this, but National Review asks the question this way, "What does it say that among these Obama volunteers, none of them thought to say, "hey, fellas, you know, this guy ran show trials and executions... Is this really the image of 'change' we want to project to the electorate?"

If Obama chooses to open an offical office there I bet he redecorates, but his response was rather mild wouldn't you say?

Quote:
"The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."
As for "what values of Che does that person espouse," which one should they espouse?

It seems it was a lady in the picture. Since this is near your location have you tracked the person down and asked them directly their motivation behind hanging the flag?
