World wants Obama to win!!!

Posted by Armanius on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 12:42:34 PM

Apparently someone decided to poll the world to see who the world wants to win in our presidential race. The results of the poll show a clear desire by the world for an Obama victory. The way I see it, all the more reason not to vote for Obama.

Obama in O'Reilly Factor - WITH PRECONDITIONS!!!

Posted by Armanius on Thursday, September 04, 2008 6:51:52 PM
As you all know, Obama decided that he would finally allow Bill O'Reilly to interview him in an attempt to steal some thunder from the RNC. Obama and his staff apparently had to come to terms with Fox News that O'Reilly would not attempt to embarass Obama! Along the same lines, Elizabeth Hasselback from "The View" stated that "unlike the wife of another political candidate, who shall remain nameless, Cindy McCain did not come to cohost The View with a list of topics we weren't allowed to touch ..."
 
So the question of the day is: if Obama is willing to meet with terrorists and dictators without preconditions, why would he not meet with Bill O'Reilly without preconditions??

Obama: I am qualified to be president b/c I am running for president

Posted by Armanius on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 5:57:17 PM
So Obama says he has more experience making executive decisions while dealing with natural disasters (i.e. Katrina) than Palin, because of the size of his presidential campaign in terms of man power and budget. He first only talked about Palin's experience as a mayor, totally ignorning the fact that she has also run an entire state for the last two years with man power and budget that far exceed Obama's presidential campaign. Then he concluded that his campaign machine actually counts as executive experience!!! Never mind the fact that Obama's main role in his own presidential campaign is to read from a teleprompter!
 
Isn't it funny that Obama could not respond to Anderson Cooper's question by citing to any REAL executive experience that he actually has or had? Obama's argument that he has executive experience to be the president is that he is running to be the president! Obama's argument is similar to someone that applies for a job, and then cites as relevant experience, the mere fact that he completed the job application!!!
 
What a joke. The sad part from all of this is that half of American voters have bought into Obama's marketing propaganda and refuse to see that Obama has no experience and lacks good judgment to be the president.

Obama: McCain doesn't know what he's up against!

Posted by Armanius on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 2:09:37 AM
Obama said yesterday “I don’t intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against. He can talk all he wants about Britney and Paris, but I don’t have time for that mess."
Aren't his statements totally idiotic? He clearly is dillusional like Nancy Pelosi. Obama really believes that he is what the world has been waiting for. Does he really think he's the second coming of the Messiah? That's the tone of his statement that McCain "doesn't know what he's up against." Yeah, Obama, you are the juggernaut right? You are indeed what you've been waiting for. A loone! And then Obama goes on to say McCain "can talk all he wants about Britney and Paris, but I don't have time for that mess." The irony of it all -- who keeps bringing up Britney and Paris every time when speaking during $8 million fundraisers that only rich people can afford to attend? Obama himself!!! When was the last time McCain said anything about Britney and Paris? When was the last time the ad was even played on TV? So Obama has no time for that mess, but he keeps it bringing "that mess" up over and over and over again.

Nader: Obama will choose Hillary as VP!

Posted by Armanius on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 1:22:23 AM
Politico.com reported that Nader called in and predicted that Obama will choose Hillary as his VP. I actually agree with Nader. Obama can't ignore the 18 million votes Hillary got, and he is sweating bullets right now. Slowly but surely, the "real" Obama is being revealed, whether it's his extreme disregard for the life of a baby born alive, or his relationship with terrorists like Bill Ayers. Heck, even Gadaffi, who called Obama his "Muslin" brother, has endorsed Obama!! So Obama is going to suck it up, and select Hillary. We all know that Obama will do whatever it takes to win. Just look at the pandering that he has engaged in for the DNC, which is nothing short of the Bill and Hillary Show!

Obama afraid of "change" - offshore drilling

Posted by Armanius on Saturday, August 02, 2008 2:33:13 PM
 
Now that Obama realizes that American people REALLY favor offshore drilling, he is supporting offshore drilling as part of a comprehensive energy policy. But he says he will never let drilling be the end all be all solution. Gee Obama, have you not been listening to McCain and other Republicans whom have said that they want drilling to be part of the solution, which also includes alternative energy sources? So Obama is "changing" his position now, and that's great, because I think the American people will benefit from his change in position.
 
Irony is that Obama is now proclaiming that this "wasn't really a new position."
 
EHH???
 
After harping at McCain for weeks about how McCain flip-flopped on offshore drilling for political expediency, and how offshore drilling is a gimmick (just like gas tax holiday), and how offshore drilling will not help lower gas prices "yesterday, today, or tomorrow," Obama has the audacity to say that supporting offshore drilling is NOT a new position of his??? Obama clearly has some sort of mental issue where he just cannot allow himself to say that he changed his position on any issue -- gun control, Rev. Wright, gay marriage, public financing, war in Iraq, and now offshore drilling. While Obama uses the word "change" as his campaign standard, clearly, Obama fears the word change, whether the change is brought about by a belief that he is doing the right thing, or because of political expediency.

McCain blunders ... running horrible campaign in my opinion

Posted by Armanius on Saturday, July 26, 2008 11:40:42 PM
"Pretty good timetable" ...
 
Surge was about "counter-insurgency tactics"  and not about "more troops."
 
John, what in the world are you talking about? Rest assured that in the next few months, we are going to be hearing these words over and over and over again -- especially the "pretty good timetable" comment by McCain in reference to Obama's 16 month withdrawal timetable. And it will not matter what McCain's explanations are. It will be what the American people perceive what those comments were meant to say.
 
Obama has made so many blunders of his own, and yet, in my opinion, the McCain campaign has failed to capitalize and expose those blunders to the American people. As noted in my blog before, Obama's proclamation of being "correct" about a 16 month withdrawal timetable is only "correct" because of the stability in Iraq brought upon by the surge in American troops. In other words, Obama's self-validation is totally baseless. Recall that Obama's original expressed intent to withdraw the troops was because he thought we should not be in Iraq at all, and that the war was lost. The timetable was certainly NOT advocated because the situation in Iraq is good enough for the U.S. to withdraw its troops. Why hasn't McCain come out and explicitly pointed that out? Instead, not only does Obama have Maliki on the record talking favorably about the 16 month timetable, but Obama also has McCain saying that it is a "pretty good timetable." In the same statement, McCain also said that conditions on the ground should still control the rate of troop withdrawal, but those words are not enough to combat the implication that McCain endorsed Obama's 16 month timetable. McCain ought to know better than that. McCain could have said that it's a "pretty good timetable, but it's only a pretty good timetable THANKS TO THE SURGE!"
 
Similarly, McCain has been trying to hammer Obama on opposing the surge of troops. McCain's point has been that the increase of American troops brought about stability. Now McCain mentions that the surge was about "counter-insurgency strategy" and not about "more troops." What in the world??
 
The McCain campaign really needs to step it up. And McCain really needs to think before saying stuff. Obama can afford to make bone headed remarks, because the mainstream media and his "likeability" allow him some wiggle room. McCain has no wiggle room. He needs to run the perfect campaign. So far, McCain's campaign is far from perfect.

Master of the obvious Obama: trip confirmed MY strategies

Posted by Armanius on Saturday, July 26, 2008 1:39:53 PM
In a recent interview with Bill Hemmer during this European tour, Obama told Hemmer that the trip overseas "confirmed my strategies." On the preview clip that Fox News aired this Saturday morning, Obama goes on to describe the strategy: (1) send more troops to Afghanistan; (2) Iraqis are willing to take more responsibility over the security of their country; and (3) Iran is a grave threat.
 
Isn't Obama just stating the obvious? Yet, Obama likes to talk about the obvious as if he was the first one to think of it. Send more troops to Afghanistan ... is that anything new? Iraq's security by Iraqis ... is that anything new? Iran is a grave threat ... is that anything new? These are positions that others have advocated for months if not years.
 
Not to beat on a dead horse any more than I already have in my blog, but Obama conveniently fails to note that the Iraqi willingness and ability to take on more responsibility for the security of Iraq can be directly attributed to the surge of American troops that Obama vehemently opposed and called a failure. Recall that Obama not only predicted failure but also predicted that the surge would only lead to additional violence. Perhaps someone needs to ask him that question, as opposed to just merely asking him whether or not he agrees that the surge was a success. Because you know Obama is always going to squirm his way past that question of success. As a lawyer, I've encountered hundreds of witnesses who squirm like Obama does when the topic of the surge comes up. "Well ... ehh ... ahh ... it really depends ... eh ... on what the definition of success is ..." Someone please ask Obama about the prediction that the surge would lead to more violence. There is no squirming around that question, unless Obama wants to look and sound really stupid by saying that it depends on what the definition of violence is.
 
Oh yeah, never mind. The strategy of "Iran is a grave threat" is indeed something new. But only to Obama, who had originally said that Iran is a little country who does not pose any danger.

What can McCain do to defeat the Obama PR machine??

Posted by Armanius on Friday, July 25, 2008 1:51:09 AM
I just don't get why the McCain campaign isn't exploiting this Texas sized hole in the reasoning of Obama's self proclaimed "right judgment" regarding troop withdrawal in Iraq. The Obama campaign and his surrogates are touting over and over again how Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and the Iraqi government want a timetable for American troop withdrawal, and how Maliki agrees with Obama's timetable. Hence, according to Obama's campaign, he has been right all along and "now" is the time to pull our troops out.
 
I am a fair guy, and I will say that if the Maliki-lead government of Iraq wants us to leave, we should leave. But does anyone in his or her right mind believe that Maliki would be saying this except for the fact that he believes that Iraq is stable enough for Iraqi troops to completely take over the security of Iraq? And what has brought about stability in Iraq? Some liberal extremists and Obama himself continue to deny that the surge was the key factor that lead to stability in Iraq. Fine, let them dispute the success of the surge. However, reasonable minds cannot dispute that had we followed Obama's Iraq policy of immediate withdrawal of American troops last year, the stability in Iraq today would not exist! Maliki certainly would not be talking in July 2008 about American troop withdrawal. So why is Obama being allowed to revel on having the "right judgment" to say that American troops can be withdrawn from Iraq in 16 months? The McCain campaign and his surrogates need to be out there pointing out the idiocy of Obama's patting himself on the back for having the "right judgment" about troop withdrawal timeline.
 
The McCain campaign also needs to be doing a whole lot better exposing what Obama said in 2004 about being against troop withdraw and "artificial" deadline:
 
 
The McCain campaign did put a great montage together regarding all the contradictions made by Obama regarding Iraq (which does include parts of Obama's 2004 interview noted above), but the message is just not getting out to the people:
 
 
So if you were John McCain, what would you do to help Americans see past the Obama PR machine?
