Just how many things are we expected to overlook with obama?

Question

racist mentor and pastor = overlook. close friend a known terrorist = overlook. a racist spouse = overlook. shady real estate dealings = overlook. virtually no experience = overlook. wake up America.

Answer 1

Ok, like 2 of those are true, rest is just propaganda and smear. What about McCain being an adulterer, old and forgets things/or is an elitist and can't remember how ******** houses he has.

I don't think either candidate is perfect, but I don't think America can afford to have four more years like the last 8.  

Answer 2

My BS meter went off the scale with your post.

=================

This is not BS, these are facts, learn about facts, instead of partisan BS.

=================

Obama, legislative and committees

============= Legislative ==========

Consistent with his interests in conservation, Obama voted in favor of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Obama took an active role in the Senate's drive for improved border security and immigration reform. In 2005, he cosponsored the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" introduced by Republican John McCain of Arizona.[50] He later added three amendments to the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act", which passed the Senate in May 2006, but failed to gain majority support in the House of Representatives.[51] In September 2006, Obama supported a related bill, the Secure Fence Act, authorizing construction of fencing and other security improvements along the United States–Mexico border.[52] President Bush signed the Secure Fence Act into law in October 2006, calling it "an important step toward immigration reform."[53]

===

Partnering with Republican Senators Richard Lugar of Indiana and then Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Obama successfully introduced two initiatives bearing his name. "Lugar-Obama" expanded the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel mines.[55] The "Coburn-Obama Transparency Act" authorized the establishment of USAspending.gov, a web search engine launched in December 2007 and run by the Office of Management and Budget.[56] After Illinois residents complained of waste water contamination by a neighboring nuclear plant, Obama sponsored legislation requiring plant owners to notify state and local authorities of radioactive leaks.[57] A compromise version of the bill was subsequently blocked by partisan disputes and later reintroduced.[58] In December 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," marking the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor.[59]

===

In January 2007, Obama worked with Democrat Russ Feingold of Wisconsin to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act," which was signed into law in September 2007.[60] He introduced S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections.[61] Obama's energy initiatives scored pluses and minuses with environmentalists, who welcomed his sponsorship with McCain of a climate change bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds by 2050, but were skeptical of his support for a bill promoting liquefied coal production.[62] Obama also introduced the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007," a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.[63]

===

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for an official review following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.[64] He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry, and joined Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.[65][66] A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.[66] Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program providing one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.[67].

==========  Committees  ==================

Obama held assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works and Veterans' Affairs through December 2006.[69] In January 2007, he left the Environment and Public Works committee and took additional assignments with Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.[70] He also became Chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs.[71]

===

As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama has made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In August 2005, he traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world's supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction as a first defense against terrorist attacks.[72] Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, he visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. At a meeting with Palestinian students two weeks before Hamas won the legislative election, Obama warned that "the U.S. will never recognize winning Hamas candidates unless the group renounces its fundamental mission to eliminate Israel."[73] He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. In a speech at the University of Nairobi, he spoke about political corruption and ethnic rivalries.[74] The speech touched off controversy among Kenyan leaders, some formally challenging Obama's remarks as unfair and improper, others defending his positions.[75]

Answer 3

You forgot his racist mentor Emil Jones!

Answer 4

I'm neither Democrat or Republican, because I'm too intelligent to get caught up in this foolishness. But what confuses me is people who are so critical of Obama. This man beat all the odds of succeeding in America of coming from a single parented biracial family to rising to Presidental candidate. He has a beautiful wife and lovely children and no real dirt in his character, still because he has different ideas on how to improve America, he is attacked by losers.

Obama doesn't need to be President to be happy or successful, he has people that love him now. Something that those that criticize him personally don't have in their lives.

I really don't care who is President, because I'll still have to work to survive. But for those who like to attack Obama verses focus on issues, my recommendation is to run for President yourself and do a better job verses being a complaining couch potatoe,if you are White your chances of being President is better than Obama's was.

Answer 5

All of it he is bringing the change so he gets all the get out of free jail cards.

Answer 6

We are being intimidated and lead to believe whatever we are told by him and the media, but it all stinks and there's nothing you can do to change that except try to manipulate the people over and over again force feeding them with decption, it's like cry wolf, surprisingly there are some people who actually become mesmerized and brain-washed by his continual on-going lies.  If any of these issues were brought up or said by a white politician, Rev Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be knockin down your doors with their Rainbow Coalition!!!!!!!!! Especially his so-called "Christian" church, that was all hate speech.  There would be riots if anything was said like that about black people!!!!!!

Answer 7

you're not allowed to talk about any of that  

Answer 8

listen He HAS DONE SOMETHING RIGHT. He is the Dem's presidential NoMINEE. ALSO he is the Next President Of the USA

Answer 9

If you mention any of those things the Obama worshipers will call you a racist.

Answer 10

Isn't that right? The dude's a total mess... but people will vote for him because they're scared they'll be called racist or because they want "change" even though they have no idea what that really entails. He's lying through his teeth and will do anything to get the Oval Office.

Here's Obama himself saying he's not experienced enough to be president: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj6syUD1I...

Answer 11

You are supposed to overlook anything that is untrue. You do the reseach and decide what is true and untrue.

Answer 12

Evades answering direct questions (above his pay grade).

Friends with characters like Ayres, Wright, Farrakhan, Ludacris, and Rezko.

Visits Europe, but not the troops because cameras weren't allowed.

Has less than 6 months experience, he's been campaigning for president most of the time.

His wife is only recently proud of America.

Campaigns on 'change', then taps plagerist Biden for VP.

Constantly plays race card to avoid any legitmate criticism.

Plans to raise taxes.

No energy plan to speak of.

Belittles Americans for 'clinging to guns and religion'.

But libs think the facts are just smears and mentioning them makes us racists.

Answer 13

racist mentor and pastor = he doesn't control what someone else says or does.  You're assigning guilt by association.

close friend a known terrorist = he was 8 years old at the time, and the guy did jail time.  He doesn't control what someone else says or does.  You're assigning guilt by association.

a racist spouse = She's not racist.

shady real estate dealings = He was cleared of any wrongdoing, just like McCain was with the Keating 5 (oh, are we supposed to overlook that?)

virtually no experience = means he has some experience.

Sorry, your rant fails the "huh?" test.

Answer 14

"Close" friend not close, not a "terrorist" in many years.

Wife NOT racist!

Shady real estate dealings?  The Rezko trial did cleared Obama.

Virtually no experience?  MORE THAN LINCOLN!

Answer 15

None.  You can take anything into consideration in deciding who to vote for.  If you decide there are too many negative things about Obama, vote for McCain or someone else.  If I decide there are too many negative things about McCain, I will vote for Obama or someone else.

That's the way voting in America works.  Is someone trying to browbeat you into voting for Obama against your wishes?

Answer 16

None. You're a Neocon.  You'll believe any GOP smear that comes along.
