A Cronie is a Cromie, And That's That!

Let's pretend that President Bush had two members on his staff that we rarely heard from. One day, one of them calls the leader of Iran a "monster" and tries to get it taken off the record and another member of his staff says horrible, derogatory, racist things about blacks, people from the Middle East, and declared that America deserved the 9/11 attacks. Both of them are on his payroll. Within a day, the public would demand their heads and I would be more than willing to lead the charge! The fact is, we would want Bush to fire these idiots for their actions.

Now why are we, the same group of pissed-off liberal-minded people, holding a double-standard for Obama and almost letting it slide?

For the "monster" comment. The remark was made "off the record" by a staffer, but the first rule when it comes to reporters is "There is no such thing as off the record". I did an interview a year ago when I ran for mayor for the Philadelphia Metro. Although we talked as friends for a while, the stuff that was "off the record" was printed. I didn't mind since everything I said was 100% professional and related positively to my campaign. That's the trick.

This staffer for Obama made a mistake, but instead of her stepping down, Obama, the man who wants to be our Commander in Chief, the man we want to LEAD us, should have FIRED HER! No if, ands, or buts about it, she should have been FIRED!

Now, we have his pastors videos coming out. For months, conservatives have pointed out that Obama's pastor was a racist, in my opinion up there with the bastards at Stormfront.org. But now we've all learned one major factor that didn't make this as moot as many thought; HE WAS ON OBAMA'S PAYROLL! He was a MEMBER OF OBAMA'S STAFF!!!!!

OK, Obama, shut up. Please, shut up! I don't want to hear this "He's a good friend, he inspired me" crap from you! Not you! Your the man who is preaching "hope" and "change", that you won't have "business as usual" once your elected. Yet, one of your own staff members is a violent extreme RACIST who has publicly gone out of his way to insult and defame non-blacks in a way that would make any civil rights leader cringe... No!

Obama, this man was on YOUR STAFF! He was on YOUR PAYROLL! If ANYONE deserved to be fired, it was HIM! Can anyone honestly say that if you've been to the church of a preacher for at least a year, it's safe to say that at least once he would have heard something similar to that! You can't lie and say that you never knew, you had to! The man has been saying this crap since 2001! Ignorance, Obama, is not bliss and the charisma you have will NOT protect you anymore!

When you are running for public office, your campaign is, in essence, the best possible reflection of what will happen once you arrive in office. It isn't a perfect reflection, but it is an indication, if nothing else, of what may very well be the results of you being in that office. Mr. Barak Hussein Obama, a man who I at least respected to this day (despite the fact I would not vote for him) has LOST even that. Senator, if you WILL NOT take the actions needed to when a staff member should be fired, and simply appear to "hope" that they will resign... Senator, that is a problem!

This shows he is not able to make tough decisions! It shows that, no, he can not do what will be needed when it needs to be done! He is not running for president, he is simply running on political theory for a campaign. These may be rookie mistakes to a degree, but the severity of the pastor, who is on his payroll, not being fired... how, how is that different than Bush not firing Karl Rove and waiting for him to resign? How is it any better? It really isn't. The severity of the two is different, admittedly, but it shows that neither man did what was needed in terms of disciplining his staff.

We don't need that again.

Obama's Pastor is an Idiot!

I'm tired, so I'll go straight to the point: Senator Obama not firing this man from his campaign, the fact that he will not distance himself from him in the most serious manner, that he will not end ties with this god-awful racist and claiming he "never heard about this"... This shows that he can not handle a cabinet and personal affairs. Obama can't. The man wants to be president but can't do something as simple as firing someone who is not only damaging his campaign, but is also someone who is, in a sense, no better than the guy in charge of Stormfront.org, the massive pro-white racist organization on the net.

He didn't fire him, and that shows that he will not do what's needed when it needs to be done.

Obama: The Man Behind the Curtain

"IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"

Remember in the Wizard of Oz that famous scene where Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Lion, and the Scarecrow went to see this "all-powerful Wizard of OZ"? They were greeted by this massive head with fire and flames around him. But behind the smoke and mirrors... was a man behind the curtain.

The Democratic Party is beginning to pull the curtain on their Wizard and Obama behind the curtain is not the Obama they know.

In the past week, we've seen the front that Obama gave us start to disappear. NAFTA-Gate showed that while Obama will go on about how NAFTA is, in a sense, the root of all the problems with losing jobs in America and attack Clinton for supporting it, we found out that this was all "rhetoric" and that it was, just like The Wizard of Oz, nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

Then, we found out that one of his top contributors is now on trial for... wait for it... fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering. The problem isn't that Obama knew him. It isn't that Obama took his money. The problem is that it shows a shady dealing, and we're now forced to wonder if he will make sure everyone is clean in his White House.

And just yesterday, an Obama aid said, albeit "off the record", that Hillary Clinton was a "monster". She quickly resigned and apologized. And, no, in politics, there is no such thing as "off the record." Trust me, I learned that one the hard way.

It isn't that all of these things should be used against Obama; on the contrary, the only thing from these three recent events that should cause supporters to give Obama a second-look is the NAFTA. At the same time, reports are now coming out that it was the Clinton campaign that leaked the memo. Despite that, the memo is still true.

We're starting to look behind the curtain at Obama and see what really happens.
