Believing Obama is a Worst Case Scenario
by Fleaflicker, Mon Mar 10, 2008 at 10:40:47 AM EDT
It is so typical that Obama would try to counteract the Samantha Power revelation with an attack on Hillary. The revelation that what he was promising the American people about withdrawing from Iraq had exactly as much substance and validity as his position on NAFTA in Ohio. Obama's positions were convenient words. Just More Words.
I have been against it in 2002, 2003, 2004, 5, 6, 7, 8 and I will bring this war to an end in 2009.
I guess he forgot to mention the part about not being in the U.S. Senate at the time of the vote and then saying a few years later that he wasn't sure which way he would have voted. Nope, he probably didn't want them to hear that. And I am absolutely certain that Obama didn't remind the crowds that he voted AGAINST withdraw from the war the first time he had an opportunity to change the direction in Iraq. Nope, that doesn't sound so good when you are trying to convince people to ignore reality and believe your lies.
And so, Senator Clinton used this to try to imply that I wasn't serious about bringing this war to an end. I just have to mention this because I don't want anybody here to be confused.
Confused about what Barack? That what you are promising people is just best case scenario stuff? That all you ever really meant to promise was hope? What does Samantha Power have to say about it?
He will of course not rely upon some plan that he's crafted as a presidential candidate or as a US senator. He will rely upon a plan, an operational plan that he pulls together, in consultation with people who are on the ground, to whom he doesn't have daily access now as a result of not being the president. So to think, I mean it would be the height of ideology, you know, to sort of say, well I said it therefore I'm going to impose it on whatever reality entreats me -SACKUR: Ok, so the 16 months is negotiable?
POWER: It's the best case scenario
POWER: What we can take seriously is that he will try to get US forces out as quickly and as responsibly as possible. And that's the best case, estimate of what it would take.
But isn't that exactly John McCain's position there Samantha? He also will get out the US forces as quickly and responsibly as possible. More working across the aisle I see.
And you can bet that Senator Obama doesn't want anyone to remember that Samantha Power stated quite clearly that what Obama was saying on the campaign trail was based on the "best case scenario" and that people shouldn't take him at his word. Because doing so would be a best case scenario. Because Senator Obama, whether it is his talk about being against the Iraq war all along, or claiming to pass nuclear regulatory regulation that doesn't exist, or claiming that he will reshape NAFTA while at the same time giving assurances to the Canadian government that what he really means is that blah blah blah, wink wink... "I didn't mean a frickin word of it."

"Senator Obama has long said that he would only support Iraq legislation that has an end date for the removal of troops," an Obama aide told the Huffington Post. As for whether the Senator would ultimately support the bill, the aide said, "it will depend on the final version."In addition to requiring troops to begin leaving Iraq within 120 days of becoming law, the Feingold bill permits funds to be spent only for the purposes of counterterrorism operations, training Iraqi forces, protecting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, and U.S. troop redeployment.
Lets see.... your main foreign policy wonk says that you aren't going to do what you say on the campaign trail and you say you can't support Russ Feingold's bill because it doesn't have a date certain for the final withdrawal. So which is it Barack? Do you or don't you support Russ Feingold's plan to withdrawal from Iraq? Hillary didn't have a problem co-sponsoring the legislation. So what exactly is your objection to it other than Hillary co-sponsored it? And it will be debated on the Senate floor so you might have to actually take a few days off and go to Washington to do your job. Don't worry, you won't be there long enough for anyone to ask you to Chair a meeting on NATO in Afghanistan.
So don't be confused. Don't be confused. When Senator Clinton is not even willing to acknowledge that she voted for war. She says she voted for diplomacy despite the title that said authorization to use U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq.
Yes, look deep into my eyes. Don't trust your ears or your eyes. And whatever you do, don't trust your mind. I Obama, The One, do hereby command you to not be confused with all these facts floating about. I know, if you listen to them you will feel deceived and bamboozled. So don't pay them any attention to them at all. Listen to my voice and my voice alone. Seek truth in me because I am The One.
And don't just take my word for it. Take the word of my spiritual mentor. The All Knowing All Wise Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. :
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12051145 7633523621.html?mod=hpp_us_whats_news
On Christmas morning, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. compared presidential candidate Barack Obama's impoverished childhood to Jesus Christ's. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people," he then trumpeted. "Hillary [Clinton] can never know that."
Most young people want to grow up to be Just Like Mike. A whole new generation of youngins is now growing up to be just like Jesus, whoops, I mean Barack.
Some of the sermons mentioned Sen. Clinton or her husband in unflattering ways. During that Christmas morning sermon, Mr. Wright declared that Hillary Clinton "ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than that 'C' student sitting in the White House." On Jan. 13, Mr. Wright told the Trinity congregation that some people say, "'Hillary is married to Bill and Bill [has] been good to us.'" Mr. Wright continued, "No, he ain't!" Sen. Clinton's campaign didn't respond to requests for comment.
This from the lips of a man that paid tribute to one of the most vile racists in our country: Louis Farrakhan. Wright had the audacity to say that Farrakhan "epitomizes greatness." This is the same Louis Farrakhan that calls white people white devils. The same Farrakhan that says that Judaism is a gutter religion. The very same Louis Farrakhan that declared that Adolph Hitler was a great man.
As Steve Sailer states so precisely:
http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/01/omino us-logic-of-obama-wright-farrakhan.html
Farrakhan is radioactive not because he hates whites in general (which he does), but because he hates Jews in particular (which he also does).
Yes the very same Reverend Wright's BFF Louis Farrakhan also said this during his endorsement of Obama:
"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."
Does anyone notice the exclusion of a certain color, namely white, that Mr. Racist Farrakhan neglected to mention. But rest assured, it was no slip of the tongue. He meant exactly what he said.
So just how is it that Obama finds himself so intensely endorsed by racists? How can he accept their endorsement but maintain his good standing with the moral center of the country? He does it the old fashioned way, he lies. He claims to have spoken out against the Anti-Semitism of Farrakhan even though I have yet to find a single speech in which he does this. And he has distanced himself from his Reverend even though he prayed with him just before announcing his bid for the presidency. Perhaps the following statement is why Obama has "distanced" himself from his Reverend.
Trumpet Newsmagazine 08/2005
In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just "disappeared" as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.
So 9/11 occurred because "white" American wasn't paying attention to the "black" concerns of its citizenry. That's an interesting proposition. 9/11 was a racial thing. At least according to Obama's spiritual mentor it was. Sounds an awful lot like Malcolm X's declaration after the Kennedy assassination that:
The chickens come home to roost.
So how is it that Obama can chum around with blatant racists and not feel the brunt of revulsion he so richly deserves for the associations? One has to wonder if the situation was reversed and the KKK had endorsed Hillary that she would be held to a different standard than that of stating that she doesn't agree with their statements which is essentially all Obama has done. Everyone on the planet probably knows that Hillary would be raked over coals in the press over any such association. But not Obama? Just why is that? And shouldn't it be otherwise? If Obama honestly doesn't believe in the position of his Reverend then why hasn't he quit the church? Because the Reverend is the leader of the church and the congregants go there to be led by the leader. In this case, the racist rewarding Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's spiritual mentor. So why none of the outcries that we would normally hear about any other politician? Does Obama's double standard even cover something as extremely controversial as hanging around with racists and racist rewarders? Should we give Obama an award too?
So I don't want to play politics on this issue because she doesn't have standing to question my position on this issue.
Translation for the Obama impaired: I am going to play politics with this to the hilt because it helps me distract people away from focusing on my, well let's just call them inconsistencies. Because I never lie, at least not that I will ever admit to. I'm a lot like Richard Nixon that way. Oh yeah, and I am not a crook. Except for all that money I took from that Rezko fella that bundled it up all so nicely and such. Kinda just like it was Christmas time and he put it in swaddling clothes for me. A bundle of joy that was.
