I love Biden, did you catch his remark yesterday that Hillary was more qualified than he was?
Good to know that Biden thinks "the most important decision that I (Obama) will make before I am president" was not necessarily the right choice.
At least he's honest.
In Palin's recent interview she admitted her experiences of the outside world are limited to Canada, Mexico and Kuwait. In the next breath she said she was ready to be President of the USA. C'mon, if she is as smart as you guys want to admit then surely she cant really believe that??? Then again she did say at her old church that "Our national leaders are sending US soldiers on a task that is from God". So she is partial to believing such nonsense.
EDIT:
Found this link just after posting. Four to one the world wants Obama over McCain. Guess its lucky for a lot of you guys that we dont get a vote.
We in America should vote for Zeus Obama because the world yearns for him. I got an idea.....let him move to Europe and run for office there .Perhaps they can erect a statue of him in Berlin next to the Victory Column.
Tom, who are you trying to fool?! If you could...you'd walk on water to the voting booth just to pull the lever for the newest crowned Republican Jesus, "McCain."
I can guess in advance that he will say that he was not referring to Palin.
Ok, youse guys who don't harken from Illinoise. Here is what Obama meant:
The pig is all the Republicans' failed policies (i.e., Bush-McCain, if you want to give the pig a name); the lipstick is Palin. So, even if the Republicans dress up their failed policies with a babe like Palin, they still are only putting "lipstick" on a "pig."
Do you understand now? (P.S. It had nothing to do with the pit bull wearing lipstick--different animal, different analogy--but same lipstick.)
Perhaps you should make yourself acquainted with them.
First of all, there's Bill Ayers, the Weathermen terrorist, who personally set bombs at the Haymarket Statue and participated in the Days of Rage Riot in Chicago. He also led the Weathermen to bomb the Capitol Building and several police stations. Ayers said on September 11, 2001 (the day of the 9/11 Attacks) that his only regret was that he didn't do MORE bombing. Obama served with him on the two board positions, and Ayers held a fundraiser for Obama at Ayers' home in 1996. Obama has called Ayers his "good friend", and continues to defend his ongoing relationship with Ayers.
Then there's Jeremiah Wright, the radical former Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ, who made (and continues to make) speeches in which he refers to the USA as the "US of KKK" and says "Not God Bless America, God DAMN America" (not once, but TWICE), and talks about blacks overthrowing whites in America. Obama referred to Write as his family pastor and friend for 20 years, but claims he didn't know about Wright's radical leanings. At least that's what he claimed until April of this year, when he threw Wright under the bus in order to further his political ambitions.
How about Tony Rezko, the campaign fundraiser who has been indicted for kickbacks, bribery and illegal money deals. Rezko raised lot's of money for Obama. They also bought adjascent property from the same real estate broker on the same day, where Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the property. Later Rezko sold part of his land to Obama. At the time of the land deal, Rezko was already under indictment, and Obama knew that. Obama defends his friendship with Rezko, but said that the land deal was "a boneheaded mistake". Also, though Obama is NOT involved in the Rezko indictment, at least $10,000 of illegal moneys from Rezko made its way into Obama's coffers. Obama's campaign donated that amount to charity in order to divest itself of the illegal moneys.
Then there's the question of who has endorsed Obama. He's been endorsed by Hamas. In mid-April, Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef told WorldNetDaily that “We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections. “I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse,” he said. “I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principle.” He's also been endorsed by Louise Farakhan. Castro said he would like to see an Obama Hillary ticket. The leader of the New Black Panthers is a blogger for Obama's campaign. Kim Jong Il, dictator of N. Korea has said that he supports Obama over McCain. And Students for a Democratic Underground (the predecessor of the Weathermen) also endorses Obama, though Obama has rejected SDS's endorsement.
These are Obama's friends and supporters, Donald. Don't you think you should get to know your candidate before you support him?
I have been reading these threads for weeks and rarely say anything but... I am wondering why no one is commenting on this post.
Would it be wise to vote for a man that has questionable friends and ties. Who believes the old phrase "birds of the feathers, flock together", or am I just being paranoid?

Because it was addressed in the forum over two months ago, and before that, time and time again. It's old propaganda playing the six degrees separation game. I'm off to work. Everybody have a good day, good weekend, and good shabbos.

If you caught the interview or read the transcript you should know "the task from God" quote was badly distorted. She didn't claim it was, but as Abraham Lincoln suggested prayed that it was a task from God, as in let us pray that we're on God's side, not that God is on our side. There is a huge difference there.

Hello bushq:
Bill Ayres was a terrorist 40 years ago. He got caught. He did his time. He's not a terrorist today. Today, he is Distinguished Professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Mayor Daily consults with him regularly. Do you think the mayor is a terrorist?
There were things I did 40 years ago - but I don't do them now. You associate with me. Does that mean that we're birds of the feather??
I was not aware of Ayers serving any time. I thought charges were dropped due to a technicality and only then did he come in from the underground. So he served no time for his terrorist bombings.Bernardine Dohrn did ,but he didn't .
''I don't regret setting bombs'' ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' ...Even today, he finds ''a certain eloquence to bombs, a poetry and a pattern from a safe distance,'' he writes.... So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ''I don't want to discount the possibility,'' he said.

The Ayers issue is unresolved although debated here Bobby. It became relevent again over the Annenberg Project's records that were first withheld and then released after scrubbing .
