The people he hangs with and has hung with are not a right-wing conspiracy, those are facts. Put aside the connections some call more tenuous:

Franklin Raines: Former Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines was an adviser to Obama on mortgage and housing policy.

Antonin Tony Rezko: Real-estate developer and broker Rezko has been convicted of wire and mail fraud, money laundering and bribery. Obama is a longtime associate of Rezko, and bought some property from him in 2006.

Bill Ayers: Ayers was a member of the radical Weathermen organization in the 1960s and '70s. He and Obama have met on several occasions and were both on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago.

What we DO know for sure was that he was a member of a church for 20 years led by a racist, America-hating, vile-spewing "pastor" who Obama said he could no sooner toss him aside than he could a member of his own family. Until it started affecting his run for office that is (if he really DID toss him aside). I don't know about y'all, but I have never EVER heard of a family being a member of a church for 20 years that did not espouse their own beliefs and views. That just doesn't happen.

Then we have him with his "spread the wealth" comment. On tape he is caught stating that we need to become a more socialist nation than we already are. And when confronted about it, he defends this stance!! Why would anybody willingly and gladly go to the polls and vote for an America-hating socialist who acts as if this is a good thing?

And if you are a white Obama voter, what will he do TO you? See here:

It's all out there in black and white, even barring the stuff some of y'all consider questionable and straw-grasping by the right. :thumbup:

Wasa, that clip is hilarious!

A gentle reminder to keep the attack off each other and on the topic... PLEASE!

Speaking of sound bites, here's one where Sen Obama admits his goal is to bankrupt the coal user power-producers.

Guess that's less fun than adolescent radio goon highjinks.

It's no wonder this man has been trying to hide his opinions on various matters; when they're exposed, they're scary. For those of you who don't want to read the article, watch this fewer than two minute video: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ]YouTube - SHOCK Audio Unearthed OBAMA TELLS SAN FRANCISCO HE WILL BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY[/ame]

And for those of you who can only watch levity, here's a good one:

Wasa, that clip is hilarious!

I was embarrassed for her hearing that. How stupid do you have to be to fall for THAT?

Good thing Obama is going to win. ;o)

Nahhh... I don't mind being called ignorant or any of the other names she's referred to me. It's all good.

Honestly, over moderation is not a cool thing, sometimes you have to let people get it off their chest. If that is all she has, I'm good.

No over moderation going on here, Elizabethsew is simply doing her job as a moderator, which is to request that EVERYONE abide by LBT rules. Please keep the personal attacks on one another to pm's and the threads on topic.

Thank you.

hey Beth... send the personal slams by PM, k?

Otherwise, as a member posting here I have no problem with her slamming me.

Okay SUSAN?

That's okay, I've been forewarned about a certain poster here and certainly don't want to see her get herself banned again. I will continue to talk with the mature posters here and ignore the trolling. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

Hmmm... just like your political information your info on banned posters is incorrect too. Nobody posting in this thread has ever been banned. If they were, they wouldn't be posting. ;o)

Hey, did you see my fav won? I'm sure you are thrilled! Obama rules!

When a member is banned he/she can't post on this forum. Occasionally, some members receive a suspension but those cases are few. All reported posts are read, investigated, and handled accordingly.

I apologize, wrong word. She was suspended. And frankly, due to her board bullying and immature, personal quips, I can see why.

LOL! Your information is incorrect. You keep trying to infer I was banned or suspended and I have news for you, it never happened.

But if that is your best shot, continue. Please. Do note, I have been a reg here much longer than you. I am pretty sure I would know if I was banned or suspended.

Ok girls! Enough!

I HOPE Obama brings this country together. I HOPE Obama is not is not friends with Ayers. I HOPE Obama has the experience needed to run this country. I HOPE Obama does not socialize medicine. I HOPE Obama really doesn't believe in late term abortion or infanticide. I HOPE Obama does not take away our guns. I HOPE Obama was truthful on his tax talks. I HOPE that Obama is all that everyone thinks he is. He has a lot to live up to. Is this the HOPE the campaign was talking about??

I have to say, when I saw African Americans crying at the announcement of his win, it brought me to tears. It was a very important day in our history. Obama won fair and square (I am sure Acorn and the Black Panthers influence still wouldn't have changed the outcome). Now it is time to come together, whether we like Obama or not.

Less than 4 years and we can debate this and look back on what Obama has actually accomplished.

My husband made an interesting point about " share the wealth"

Imagine you are in a college class. You work you butt off and pull off an A. But there are a few who don't work as hard........

The teacher says....... I know that some of you are hard workers, but I have decided to give you all a c+

So does that make sence.......

Just wondering....
