Obama Goes On Hawaiian Vacation

It's not a battleground state and it's unlikely to tip the election in November, but White House hopeful Barack Obama headed to Hawaii on Friday - minus, largely, his presidential campaign.

These guys have been going strong for so long they need to get away for a couple of days to refocus. Obama's going to visit his grandmother, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure since he knows how to use a computer and a cell phone, he'll be in constant contact with his campaign.

McCain is making a big deal out of it, but he's going on a vaction to his home town during the Democratic Convention. Besides, the last time Obama was out of country for 10 days, McCain used it to start his trash campaign.

WHY is Sen Obama going to Hawaii??? N O W ???

Sen Obama’s birth certificate posted on his campaign website has been proven to be a fake according to VERY RELIABLE SOURCES- See web link below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch...

With less than 90 days to go, Team Obama has not yet released the following fairly routine requests for documents. Surely we. the People have the right to know who we are going to entrust with our country before we give him the keys.

1.Certified Copy of original Birth certificate. Certificate on his website proven to be a fake.
2. Columbia College records (including admissions and financial aid/scholarship info if applicable)
3. Columbia Thesis paper
4. Certification of Live Birth (COLB)
5. Harvard College records(including admissions and financial aid/scholarship info if applicable)
6. Illinois State Senate records
7. Illinois State Senate schedule
8. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9. Locations of all step-siblings and step-mothers
10. Medical records
11. Occidental College records (including admissions and financial aid/scholarship info if applicable)
12. Parent’s Marriage Certificate
13. Record of baptism
14. Selective Service Registration
15. Trips schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16. University of Chicago scholarly articles
17. Campaign donor analysis requested by 7 major watchdog groups

and finally, Senator Obama, the People would like to meet your maternal grandmother. Why wont you allow anyone to go near her in Hawaii. She can hardly say something that could be fatal to your run for the Presidency?

Also, if you get a moment-check out this facebook that is being maintained by Republicans who are keeping REAL close tabs on Sen Obama’s associates and the nature of their relationship. UNFORTUNATELY for Sen Obama, the information on this facebook is well-researched and well-documented. PS I am not a member of the republican party-not that it really matters at this point.

Is this really such a good time to be going on vacation? How does Sen Obama define vacation?

Barack Obamas "vacation" was time off to spend with his family. Kind of like what McCain will be doing during the Democratic convention (at least that's what his campaign said).

Maybe Obama's grandmother will come out when Cindy McCain's tax info comes out.

Number of homicides in Chicago through the month of July: 291

Number of combat AND non-combat related death of US soldier in Iraq through month of July: 221.

Obama is starting to take heat for all the killing in Chicago and specifically the area he represented when he was a state senetor.

Does he want us to pull out of the ghetto like he wants to surrender in Iraq.

It is safer to be a soldier fighting in Iraq than being a citizen who lives in the ghetto in Chicago.

Senator Obama's record at 48 years of age is sure proof that he toils and labors. So what if he takes a vacation out of his demanding schedule? He more than deserves a vacation. As a matter of fact, his vacations are never total vacations, work is also done in between. So, try to be not so superficial and see things for what they are.

McCain lied and continues to lie about what happened in Vietnam. He helped the enemy instead of trying to help others escape.

That is why so many POWs and Veterans hate McCain. McCain doesn't have any honor and shouldn't be running.

He will also give more tax breaks to the wealthiest people and provide you with $9/gallon gasoline. He will defend the interests of OPEC and Halliburton but ignore the concerns of Americans.

Number of homes McCain has: 10 or maybe 7, who knows they hide everything.

Number of homes McCain thinks he has: DUH, let me get back to you after my 4 pm nap.

McCain is senile and psychologically damaged. Many Arizonans hate him because he hasn't done anything to improve their lives. That is typical McCain, he will line the pockets of the ultra rich (including himself and his heiress wife) so that he can continue his jetset ways on the US taxpayer's dime.

Although he is running for President, McCain claims that he is 100% disabled and takes a $68,000 TAX FREE income from the US taxpayer. That is on top of his $167,000 salary from the US Senate.

McCain is nothing but a greedy little schmuck.

Obama was President of the Harvard Law Review. You are stupid and lazy, he is quite intelligent and hard working.

McCain is a traitor who collaborated with the enemy during the Vietnam war. You want to vote in a traitor as President of the USA?

What kind of traitor are you? The choice is crystal clear....crystal.

McCain just pulled 5 points ahead of Obama.
Just three months ago, Obama was up 14 points.
The problem is obvious, you're not posting enough letters. WRITE FASTER!!!

Actually, Bush increased gasoline prices by 400%, McBush can certainly increase them by 200%.

McCain =$9/gallon gasoline plus you get to fight for your own health insurance.

No more freeloading off of your corporation's risk rate. If you have a preexisting condition, you will be paying for everything out of pocket.

Some of the preceding comments are sponsored by the McCain campaign as part of our proud unending series of All American(TM) lies, smears and insults .

John McCain will approve these messages as soon as the Ambien wears off, if he's having a lucid day. Remember, he was a POW!

Technical assistance was provided by the GOP and our patron saint of lies, smears and insults, Saint Karl Rove. Funding was provided by Exxon, Walmart, Halliburton and Citibank and a host of lobbyists who remember McCain was a POW!

We thank G. W. Bush in particular for his generous assistance in assuring that they can be understood, remembered and repeated by anyone capable of attaining a second grade reading level.

Victory is assured! Our patriotic plan to loot the Treasury and turn the US into a third world economy will continue to succeed! Remember, he was a POW!

Campaign Announcements:

Whining about McCain's POW status will resume as soon as the senior staff locates the list of houses and the sacred $520 Italian Leather Loafers. Former POW McCain left them in his other jet. Remember, he was a POW!

Our expected Treasury Secretary Phil Gramm is hearing too much whining from the taxpayers about homelessness, hunger and health insurance. Order the taxpayers to snap out of their mental recession and and get a second job. Order them also to skip vacations. Tell them Real Americans(TM) pay their mortgages! John McCain approved this message months ago. Remember, he was a POW!

Our corporate partners have scheduled the commencement of WW3 to occur on January 31st, 2009. All leave, vacations and sick days are canceled as of that date. Unpaid 16 hour shifts will be mandatory. Arrange your schedules accordingly.
Quit whining! McCain was a POW!

John McCain does not speak for the McCain Campaign. Besides, he was a POW!

Now get back to work! PUSH that propaganda! Remember, he was a POW!

Honestly athy/jujujbee/johninLA/Papa, etc., this lying is getting pathological.

More Fun With the Dumbest People on the Internet
It's been a while since I suited up and dumpster-dived in the Obama conspiracyverse. In my absence, I reckon that the average IQ there has dipped by 20-25 points. Take this latest revelation from Larry "Whitey Tape" Johnson.

Republican operatives, with help from their own island backers, have unearthed critical information on Obama and are just biding their time until after the convention to drop it on him. Such as? Having a birth certificate that lists you as Barry Soetoro.

Incredible! Ann Dunham met her second husband, Lolo Soetoro in 1966, in Hawaii. "Barry" Obama was, at this time, five years old. The only reasonable explanation is that Dunham and Soetoro built (or purchased) a Genesis Device to clone a new son, using DNA from Barack Obama Sr. that Dunham had pulled off one of his combs.

Seriously. The "evidence" for Johnson's claim is the now-familiar murmurings of "sources" and GOP "operatives" (who appear in these things quicker than agents of H.Y.D.R.A.) and the fact—not reported in too many places, but never disputed—that when Lolo Soetoro became his adoptive father, the young Barack was enrolled in school as "Barack Soetoro."

But was there anything at all odd about that as it concerns a candidate for president? Bill Clinton was William Blythe III until he turned 14 and his mother married Roger Clinton. Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., and three years later his mother married Gerald R. Ford and unofficially re-named her son. The younger Ford didn't legally change his name until his was 22 years old. Is Larry Johnson or one of his pseudononymous fellow travellers going to retroactively challenge their legitimacy or veracity? Probably not. There's nothing odd or foreign about Ford's and Clinton's lives—there's no way to stoke racial bigotry and paranoia, which is the indisputable goal of this stuff.

Alas, this was only the second-stupidist event in Birth Certificatestan this week. The stupidest:

Forensics specialist Techdude, who has been chipping away at the Obama Birth Certificate mystery for some time, has confirmed that the name on the original Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) which was used to forge the document presented by Barack Obama as his valid Birth Certificate IS:

Maya Kassandra Soetoro.

Maya Soetoro is Barack Obama's half-sister. She was born in 1970. In Indonesia. Fun fact: Indonesia is not part of Hawaii.

Another fun fact: It's been 88 days since Larry Johnson claimed the existence of the "whitey" tape.

Cindy McCain stole drugs from a medical charity. It doesn't get much lower than that. Worse still, she used her employees' names to obtain drugs, and even enlisted some her her staff to pick up those prescriptions on her behalf. She also used the DEA numbers of multiple physicians who worked for the American Voluntary Medical Team to obtain drugs, often without the doctors' knowledge.(Cf. Laura Silverman's excellent reporting on the McCain drug scandal.)

Doctors can be bankrupted and even prosecuted for irregular prescribing patterns. So, McCain was risking the futures of multiple families when she ordered hundreds of pain pills on the sly. One of the doctors who worked with McCain at AVMT lost his license to practice medicine over the diversion scandal.

Cindy McCain's self-indulgence ruined lives. She has publicly apologized for taking the drugs without permission, but I'm not aware of any apologies for pressuring her employees to risk their futures to feed her addiction.

On August 19--just three days before the records are to be made public--Smith parades your wife before a select group of journalist friends. She tells a tale of pain and triumph, and, incredibly, all the reporters agree to sit on the story until August 22. When Cindy McCain says her confession is intended to quell rumors and to inspire other druggies to turn their lives around, the journalists lap it up. They write about her "bravery." The first round of stories is one-sided. There is no mention of Tom Gosinski or Romley's extortion investigation.
But after a week, there is no glossing over huge gaps in the image that has been spun for the public:
• Cindy McCain lied about drug treatment she claims to have undergone. Although she told reporters she went into a residential drug treatment program earlier this year, she told investigators she had treatment during 1991 and 1992. Whom did she lie to--investigators or reporters?
• If Cindy McCain did undergo treatment before 1994, as she told investigators, the senator's claim that he didn't learn of his wife's addiction until this January simply defies credibility.
• Cindy McCain and Jay Smith lied about her status with federal prosecutors. She told a Tucson reporter she had already completed a pretrial diversion program. Smith told another reporter that the case had come to "resolution." In fact, Cindy McCain hasn't even been accepted into a diversion program.
