Michelle is correct; the democraps are completely and utterly devoid of ideas. Obama, Carter, Klinton, Como, Kerry et al all sound like Karl Marx using modern language.

Cuomo accused President Reagan of being complicent in the murder of nuns in El Salvador. There was one problem with that Cuomo claim. The nuns were murdered when Jimmy Carter was president.

Another common theme is those nun murderers were supported by American black liberation theologists like Reverend Wright.

These people are Communists/Democratic Socialists. Obama doesn't have an original thought in his head. He's repeating the party line and working to bring about this Program of Socialist CHANGE. They also want to CHANGE our Constitution to this.

Barack’s first job out of college was as a “Community Organizer” in Chicago. I am willing to bet that it was with the Industrial Areas Foundation, a Chicago-based community organization established in 1940 by Saul Alinsky. Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909, Chicago, Illinois - June 12, 1972, Carmel, California) is generally considered the father of community organizing.

Both Hillary and Barack are disciples of Saul Alinsky. Hillary wrote her Wellesley thesis about him, then later tried to hide it.

The really sad part is that McCain often sounds like HE'S channeling the likes of Carter, Cuomo, Mondale, and Dukakis as well. THAT's what scares me. We're doomed.

Michelle’s point at the end of the segment is the silver bullet — this guy (Obama) is nothing new — he’s not about change, but rather, he’s about recycling the same tired, failed policies of the left. Carter’s economic policies were a disaster for this country, and we’re STILL cleaning up the dirty diaper he left us on the foreign policy front.

I watched the Cuomo snippets-nothing has changed, will ever change. Obama is just the latest model of complainer.
Think about it: his vaunted experience is as a ‘community organizer’.
A ‘community organizer’ is a non-professional complainer, pointing out the ills of society, real or imagined. They exist to point out problems; what we need is a problem solver in the Oval office.
“President Obama, the Chinese government has massed a fleet of destroyers off of California and are calling for us to surrender! What can we do?”
“Are you sure we don’t deserve to be taken down a few notches? You ask, ‘What can we do?’ when it would be better to ask, ‘What have we done?’”

It’s like Billy Joel said about plagiarizing music: “Hey, there are only so many notes, and they play the best ones on the radio all the time.”

Speaking of music, isn’t there a song entitled Everything Old Is New Again?

If people click on a link with “Michelle” in it, thinking it’s Obama, and come here by mistake, they may stick around to read something else.

Connie on June 5, 2008 at 11:09 AM

It’s certainly nice to see “our” Michelle instead of “the other” Michelle. Speaking again of music, apologies to anyone who now gets that Beatles song stuck in their heads.

Ah, let BO spew his BS. Between his soaring (yet empty) rhetoric and the constant BJ he’s going to get from the MSM, he’s just going to set up those that vote for him for a much deeper disappointment when his empty suit comes up against the reality of actually having to govern.

Definitely not plagiarism…at least in the clips that were shown. An example of plagiarism is when Biden ripped off Neil Kinnock a number of years ago…was it in 88 or 92?

This is some on the right wing having far too much time looking at old tapes. I’m sure if you look at what Magic Johnson said before the NBA Finals 20 years ago, and what Kobe Bryant is saying now, it’d be just about the same thing…it’s all cliches and platitudes…not plagiarism.

On the other hand, MM’s contention that this shows intellectual bankruptcy has a little bit more heft behind it.

Show them a Benny Hinn video, and they will fall on the floor laughing at the guy (and I’d agree) but their politicians say equally, or more, outrageous stuff? They can’t wait to stampede to the polls to vote for them.
I really don’t get it. funky chicken on June 5, 2008 at 11:05 AM

Excellent point. To them govt is church, and Benny Hin is a competitor who must therefore be ridiculed. Hinn deserves the ridicule, but if you mock Hussein’s absolutely certainty that his nomination is the moment the lame will walk and the blind will see, the planet will be healed, the lepers cleansed, etc. you are (I guess) a divisive racist or whatever.
