The point being…he's still a neophyte when it comes to the highest office in the land.

Sil,
There are only a handful of men alive who aren't Presidential neophytes. We've got Bush I + II, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter. Which one of them are you supporting this time around?

You folks act like I'm your enemy. Let me ask you something.

You went out with two friends to try to impress someone at an event. Let's say you had spinach in your teeth and one friend just kept smiling at you and patting you on the back and telling you that you looked fine. Meanwhile the other one grabbed you by the arm and dragged you to the restroom to inform you that you had spinach in your teeth. Your arm hurt from being dragged and that one “friend” was so nice and kept patting you on the back.

Of the two people, who would you trust with something important?

Ummm hmmm….

The democratic party has spinach in its teeth and I am uncomfortably pointing that out.

The point being…he's still a neophyte when it comes to the highest office in the land. And that should be of concern to people. But apparently it isn't. Apparently we live in a country that isn't in a recession, in the throes of an illegal war and under the thumb of a corporate monopoly like BigOil. Apparently we aren't in dire need of someone not only with scads of experience, but also who already has established world respect, and doesn't have to go out on a taxpayers field trip with a sack lunch to learn the rudiments of world diplomacy..

Don't know why I thought that?

And the Larry Sinclair story is everywhere…but mainstream media. And when I say “yet” I mean that of course BigMedia knows about it, but from that clip from the O'Reily show it is obvious they are sitting on it for some reason. And not because it isn't legitimate. O'Reily said of it that it is “in play”, not “a dud” or “made up” or “bogus”. “In play” means it's viable…but just isn't being reported on..

So the only thing really up for debate is. A: will they sit on it forever? or B. Will they release it? and C. If they're going to release it, why are they waiting?

Great post, Joe.

Maureen Dowd is pathetic. Is she kidding, wondering why Obama is talking about foreign policy? Is she that desperate for something to write about?

So I don't understand your argument about Obama being a burden on taxpayers. His Secret Service detail, if you stop to think about it, has probably been the least expensive to date of the three candidates (Obama, Hill and Mc).

Not to worry we all knew it was coming and its a MSM conspiracy to destroy his candidacy.

Barak Obama used the same tactics your employing Sil. He gave speeches where he said, they are going to attack me, make up stories…..but its all lies. If you hear something bad about me don't believe it…………they want to hoodwink you. Bamboozle you and make you believe stuff that is not true.

Jeremiah Wright hates America…………its not true. I didnt inhale.

Your tirades are tiresome and obvious Sil.

Questions are swirling about Malcolm X too. And Building 7 of the WTC. I even heard there's a photo of Barak Obama and Timothy McViegh shaking hands in front of the Murrah Federal Building — he in traditional Kenyan garb no less, and with a KGB agent in the background.

Not to worry…McCain sure isn't. He knows about “the story” that's “in play” about Obama and soon to be released..

Meanwhile, I for one am not happy about American taxpayers having to pay for Obama's little geography lesson he's getting overseas..

Have you seen all the men in black around him?

“Last May, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was issued a full-time Secret Service detail, an unusual event so early in the election season, but one that reflected the potential threat against him…

.. “It looks like Obama is the Democratic front-runner, plus he's an African-American, so I'm not surprised by the protection, at all. In fact, I think it's good that they're tightening security,” said David Katz, CEO of the Global Security Group, and a former FBI instructor and DEA special agent.

But the Obama campaign insists that no corners are being cut. “He has the best protection provided in the world. Every precaution is taken for an event,” said a senior advisor to the Obama campaign.” Source: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?i…

I know they're worried about someone assasinating him both before and after his candidacy…well…assuming he wins….big assumption considering “the untalkable” Obama scandal story….yet…

And I know his needs for these security guys are justified, it's just that we taxpayers now have to pay for him to drag this huge team..plus extras..on planes, all their overtime, extra security equipment, etc. etc. etc. just so Obama can learn some of his world geography besides Hawaii, Indonesia and Chicago..

Is there no end to the public purse when it comes to extravagance? Obama with his record-earning mysterious small donations campaign should be able to foot the bill for his own security? How much is this geography lesson costing taxpayers anyway?

Apparently McCain never rose to the level of Barney the purple dinosaur on any of his visits.

Yeah I can see how that would turn all those guys on.

Meanwhile, I think it's really neato that Obama is going to visit Afghanistan. Now he can see first hand that they don't speak arabic. And I'll bet he can even locate the country on an atlas now! We're so proud of him learning so much in such a short period of time! Pretty soon he'll be ready to graduate to President of the United States…barring any personal scandals revealed after August…
