You say that…

Obama did co-sponsor the bill he references in this ad — along with 25 other Senators. It gives no indication that Obama did any work other than attaching his name to it. Further, despite what Obama’s website states, it was not called the Lugar-Obama Bill.

But, according to the Lugar website, Obama was a co-sponser, as Lugar calls it the Lugar Obama bill.

And, in fact, it never even came to a vote; the bill died in 2006 after being reported out of committee.

But, again, according to the Lugar website,…
Bush signs Lugar-Obama into Law

I’m the last guy who wants to see O’Bummer credited with anything he doesn’t deserve, but we conservatives have to use accurate information. If you have anything I’ve missed, please let me know.

Personally, I think this is a cynical attempt by O’Bomber to appear to do something that gives him an aura of credibility, but I seriously doubt he did any significant work on it, or contributed any more than his presence for what amounts to a photo-op for him.

Obama ad: “Changing World”

I wonder if Obama knows which office he’s running for…? Or is his Marxism intended to be global, at American taxpayer expense?

That seems to be a common tactic for lefties when presented with tough questions, and you totally fell for it. They’re so damn smart that they fooled you by not even having an answer. Such nuance! Man, those libs sure are clever!

Maybe Obama will open up our own country to drilling, we can keep our own money here and create new jobs, we can research alternatives to fossil fuels and make it a goal to be oil free by 2020.

Naw, I think its better to go the route we have all these years. Keep funds flowing into the middle east, accuse those who support domestic drilling as being shills for Big Oil while those who think dropping $300 million into black and white propaganda commercials are really fighting the good fight.

The other evening I got into a discussion with some flat earth environmentalists at an Emergency Room. They were spouting all the typical liberal Marxist nonsense. They said that all those who are coming out defending domestic drilling were just shills for big oil. I asked them who are the shills for Big Environmentalism? They drew a blank look. I asked them with the commercials that Gore just put out, it cost $300 million dollars. Gore put up $10 million of his own money, who dropped the other $290 million? I said no one drops that kind of cash without expecting a return. I asked if the money would have been better spent giving that amount to a R&D lab to research alternatives and help get us to a fossil free future? They had no answer. I asked them if they thought that maybe Gore tried, but researchers who will work for $300 million dollar grants are too hard to come by now a days?

Crickets.

Troubling indeed.

By the way, how would a “loose nukes” law prevent North Korea from enriching uranium in Syria, or Pakistan from exporting nuclear material to Iran or Libya? Does the U.S. Navy have to board every ship sailing between these countries to check for loose nukes?

The most powerful position on earth taken by a man who accomplishments consist of being a community organizer and attaching his name to a bill that was sure to pass.

Wow, such brave accomplishments.

Are we going to embargo Russia? or China?

If the Democrats had not stopped the development of ANWR in 1996, we would have that oil available right now, and would not be at the mercy of foreign suppliers.

“It wouldn’t do any good, because it wouldn’t produce any oil – for TEN YEARS!”

We should be drilling and tapping our own resources, but the Democrats, including Barack Obama, are preventing us from doing so. This is the reason we have $4 gas. If the Democrats had not stopped the development of ANWR in 1996, we would have that oil available right now, and would not be at the mercy of foreign suppliers.

Can you explain this for us:

WASHINGTON – Legislation authored by U.S. Senators Dick Lugar (R-IN) and Barack Obama (D-IL) that will help keep weapons like shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles out of terrorists’ hands has passed Congress and will soon be signed into law by the President. Lugar and Obama authored the legislation (S. 2566) and included provisions of the bill as part of H.R. 6060, which was approved by the Congress early Saturday morning.

The Lugar-Obama initiative expands U.S. cooperation to destroy conventional weapons. It also expands the State Department’s ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction.

My understanding was that it was called Obama-Luger but that it only added IEDs and MANPADS to the existing Luger-Nunn act of the early 90′s, which was focused on nuclear proliferation.

And fast-track alternatives so we stop spending billions on oil from hostile nations.

Is Canada going to send terrorists to kill us?

Saudi Arabia. They are not “hostile” towards us. 19 of their citizens took part in the 9/11 terror attacks. They were citizens, not the government. How will Oil money from Saudi Arabia fund attacks against us? If there is proof, I’d like to see it.

Mexico. Are their citizens who are coming here illegally getting money from mexico’s oil companies to make the trip?

Venezuela. Their president called Bush el Diablo, and accused him of leaving a sulfur cloud at the podium. Maybe it was the chili.

Iraq. Not hostile anymore.

Russia. Maybe they hate us. Haven’t done much more than vote against our interests in the UN.

- Where is IRAN- with an “N” on that list, You know – the country that is the number one exporter of terrorism inthe world. They seem to be missing on that list.

Maybe Barack Obama is talking about the HOSTILE NATION of NORWAY.

It’s a complete swing and a miss

More like a half-serious bunt and a miss.

Far to the Left, if anywhere at all.

You mean to say (in the same sentence, no less) that a certain position of his is

1) representative of the extreme of one specific ideology;
2) very ambivalent.

if Nukes are on the loose who do you trust?

It depends. As the Anti-Christ, does Obama have super powers? You know, stuff like heat rays or something to vaporize the loose nukes?

And making empty-headed libs drool doesn’t count unless they can drool through the casings, rendering the nukes inoperable….

That makes me want to VOTE For McCAIN! – Chakra

Damn right, this makes any sensible person run to straight to Mac.

Now Obama is Promising to Get Rid of All Nuclear Weapons -
Obama said [the United States] adhering to nonproliferation treaties would put pressure on nations such as North Korea and Iran.
Because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-Il will look at the US …

“Uh, let me explain what I meant by that … uh, these aren’t the Allies I once knew … no, wait, um, these aren’t the ads I once approved … I did? Oh, ah, well then you’re a racist for questioning me on this!”
