2) EDITORIAL: A debate Obama cannot win

3) Barack Obama the speechmaker is being rumbled. There is a yawning gulf between what the Democratic candidate says and how he has acted. That’s why the race is so close…Gerard Baker http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/gerard_baker/article4735295.ece

4) My personal experience: Last spring, I wrote a school paper comparing all the candidates on NAFTA. When I started my paper, I had to update twice while O kept changing his positions. He matched Hillary’s position at the end. First, he was adamantly opposed to any free trade agreement and wanted to withdraw from the WTO. He changed in a matter of days to fully supporting NAFTA and the WTO, but added Hillary Clinton’s idea that we should renegotiate (with Mexico, which we already do anyway).

Now, he’s running in the general election, and O’s position on NAFTA matches McCain’s to the letter. O has had three positions on NAFTA since March, and that is only ONE example of his shifting on the issues. Come on…pick any issue, and I’ll show you the ultimate politician who offers the strength and trustworthiness of shifting sand. You can’t name a single issue that he hasn’t radically altered from one extreme position clear to the opposite side, sometimes within a 24 hour period as he did on dividing Jerusalem.

The last time I argued an O issue with a liberal online, O changed to my position during the online debate, abandoning the liberal on other side. I believe O has done that with one constituency group after another; his campaign leaves a trail behind it of brokenhearted and leaderless wrecks.

FYI: Europe represents a sorta constituency. If the past is ANY indicator of the future, O would throw Europe under the bus faster than he screwed the 18 million people who voted for Hillary.

He is, dear Virginia/Paddy, the product of Chicago thug politics, where the object is to eliminate your competition and win by default, rather than by competition of substance and ideas. He holds no loyalty to any group or any high ideal–except for himself. He is consistent only in that he wants to be President. O has never had to compete in an election to the finish–ever. He won the senate seat by publishing the opponents divorce records. Then his competitor had to withdraw. He won the seat by default, just as he was selected, not elected, in the Democratic primary. And that’s why O has dropped thirty dirt-investigators into Wassilla looking for anything to spin as gossip on Palin…politics as usual for a Chicago thug who can’t compete on ideas or substance. O wants Palin to withdraw so he can win.

McCain, on the other hand, has repeatedly shown honor, fairness, and virtue throughout his life; he can be counted on to reach out his enemies because his entire life has been built around harmony and standing in the broken places until dreams meet reality, to the chagrin of pragmatic Conservatives everywhere. Oh, you didn’t hear about that? Of course not.

Check out Obama’s income taxes, which all candidates have to publish. I know people, living close to poverty, who gave more to charity in 2007 than the Obamas did.

Good Luck Paddy and liberal bloggers. You need it if you cling to an earthbound star. Meanwhile, Americans will continue to battle against Obama and his minions for the preservation of freedom. Obama is a grave threat because he is a socialist. Who supports and launched him is an entire separate post.

You should, perhaps, do a lot more research on Obama. If it is not too much trouble for you. Then you will see how totally inexperienced and unsuitable he is. As his VP choice quipped in a 2007 debate that the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.

Palin has been a mayor and is currently the Governor of Alaska.

Obama has been a “community organizer” and, after being a senator for all of 120 days, begin campaigning for the POTUS.

Hmmm, tough choice.

It is clear that you Brits haven’t gotten over the fact that England is no longer a world power.

Any American who has traveled abroad becomes quickly aware that Americans aren’t liked by Europeans and quite frankly…who cares?

In point of fact, anyone who hasn’t traveled to Europe is fortunate because they have avoided becoming infected with whatever it is that you are all afflicted with that impacts memory, clear thinking ability and work ethic.

The media over here (in the US) seems more interested in her teenage daughter’s sexual activity than in Palin’s lack of travel. (NPR did try to press the issue, but the campaign spokesperson just ignored the question and answered something completely different.

I’m with you. Her apparent lack of interest in the rest of the world is distressing. But I suspect it’s part of what makes her so attractive to the religious right.

I think that she said that she was/is a “hockey mom” - a bit different! Not a game we play much over here (the ice variety that is!).

If she has had the odd stopover in Canada I hope that she has learned, unlike you it seems, that the Brits don’t own it but that it is a sovereign state.

How Eurocentric of him.
