Progressives: “Obama is not who we thought he was”

I’ve been sitting in the cut chuckling at the furious reaction to Barack Hussein Obama’s selection of Pastor Rick Warren to deliver his invocation at his inaugural address (LINK).

Some of you emailed me asking for my opinion on the matter. But I have no opinion because I really don’t care who Obama chooses to deliver his invocation. An invocation speech is the least of our worries with Obama soon to be in power.

The progressive movement who desired CHANGE at all costs, are now gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands at slippery Obama’s predictable flip flopping.

Campaign rhetoric aside, the fact is Obama showed us and told us who he really was long before his supporters lifted him up on their shoulders and carried him to victory.

Everyone turned a blind eye to his decades long associations with shady radicals and extremists. Obama has a proven track record of getting into bed with those around him who share his convoluted socialist ideologies.

Obama promised transparency and Change to the old Washington style of politics. And now Obama has filled out his cabinet with mostly Clinton-era cronies who are the architects of the current economic collapse.

How does your Kool-Aid taste now?

What I hope comes out of this election year is that our society learns the valuable lesson of personal responsibility. Everybody was a player in this financial meltdown were facing as a country, from the borrower who sat in front of the lender and declared…”yes I can afford a 500k home with an annual income of 50k” to the clowns on Wall Street leading right up to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It’s up to folks to quit playing the victim role and take responsibility in righting your OWN ship. Obama can inspire change but it’s up us to put visions into action. So give Obama a break, Sandra, he’s not even in office yet. Also, Obama’s choice of Warren to deliver the invocation is a drop in the bucket of problems Obama’s going to be facing courtesy of your boy, Bush. How is that a war that Bush and his supposed intelligence concocted, has America in a deficit and Iraq in a surplus. Do you have an answer to that Ms. Rose?

istandbehindtheIam Says:

PREACH! I agree with every word you said. WE have to do this and I think Barack is just the vessel to inspire us. His part will be a lot heavier than ours, but it’s not all on him.

As for the preacher; who cares? The same people complaining about this are those same type of people that complained about Palin not being on Oprah; petty people with way too much time on their hands. We have bigger fish to fry than judging people on their personal views.

@istandbehindtheIam…I COSIGN!!!!!!!
JustSaying

Well, I took his change as being a change from the Bush era. So yes he has Clinton peps showing up all over the place but I love Clintion and I don’t mine having all those that was with him taking office now. Hell I will even vote for Bill Clinton again if he could run.

Sandra please do some more research. Barack Obama doesnt have shady radical and extremist friends. Bill Ayers is not his friend an assoicate at best and Rev Wright spoke the truth to power that some ppl just can’t handle. While I supported Rick Warren in the purpose driven life, I do feel it was a slight slap in the face to gays/lesbians who for the most part supported BO 100%. The problem goes beyond being against gay marriage and abortion. Warren was out of bounds for comparing gays to pediphile. I think BO made a poor choice but the man is NOT perfect and never proclaimed to be. So with that said he is still better than Bush ever will be and this is BEFORE he has even taken office.

My strawberry mango Kool aid is ON IT!!!!!!!!!

How are you to be “Progressive” if you bend and say to every special interest group that cries “wolf … The Gay & Lesbian groups are crying foul beacuse he choose Rick Warren …But i’m sure Many of them Have his Book .. Purpose Driven life… and Many AiDS organizaions aren’t turning aways the MILLIONS he’s GIVEN away for Aids research … Why is it so necessary for straight people to “accept” them .. but when you don’t You are considered homo-phobic or some other foolishness .. Where is THEIR level of tolerance .. WHY is Tolerance Only Tolerable when it swings toward special intrest groups ?

Pres. Elec Obama has he right to Choose whom He wanted to speak at his Invocation .. if it had been Min Farrakhan (and I know Farrahkan isn’t considered a traditional muslim) or a Muslim cleric (since Obama is supposed to be a muslim) Folk would have been screamin bloody murder….

So . in the words of my big brothers .. EASE OFF THE MANS NUTS !!!

Under Clinton we had a budget SURPLUS. Under Bush we have a budget DEFICIT.

For those that don’t know, deficit = bad. Surplus = good.

As a matter of fact, Clinton shut down the government for 3 days because Congress kept trying to spend money we didn’t have. Instead of putting through a budget that we couldn’t afford, Clinton vetoed every one they sent him until they got it right. The budget was balanced every year and we had money going to pay down our deficit every year from 95-2001. Bush put us 70 TRILLION dollars in debt during his 8 years. 70 TRILLION!!!!! Not to mention that he spent practically everything in our social security fund, so I hope everyone has a good 401k and/ or IRA.

*rolls eyes* Sandra, you are too much sometimes. LOL!

Hey Auntie…..

First of all…

Obama DOES NOT have a history with “shady politicians in Illinois”…HE IS NOT A PART OF DALEY’S DEMOCRATIC MACHINE!!! THE HOME OF SHADY POLITICIANS IN ILLINOIS!!!

Obama WORKED with shady ELECTED politicians (did you notice the word…ELECTED) in Illinois…and since MOST OF THE POLITICIANS IN ILLINOIS ARE SHADY…THERE YOU GO!!!

And Obama DIDN’T HANG AROUND WITH EXTREMIST!!! He worked with William Ayers…because in CHICAGO…William Ayers is ALL ABOUT MAKING SURE POOR CHILDREN GET A QUALITY EDUCATION AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!! You may have a problem with that…THE FOLKS IN CHICAGO AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY…DON’T!!!

And Auntie…you got a LOT OF MOFO NERVE…COMING FROM ENGLAND…WHERE YOUR A$$ CAN GET FREE HEALTHCARE…AND A LOT OF THE “CONVULUTED IDEAS”…THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SLAM OBAMA ABOUT!!!

And Babygirl…IF YOU THINK THE CLINTONITES ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF THIS ECONOMIC MELTDOWN…you need to go to a university that has classes based upon Free Market in the American financial landscape for the last fifty year…ECONOMIC MELTDOWNS ONLY HAPPEN IN REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS!!!

I swear…

You sadden me with your biased viewpoint…that is based on out and out lies and slander…

I expect that from Rush Limbaugh…I would have never expected that from you…

I hope to GOD that the right-wing is sending you a welfare check for these b.s. blogs that you put on here regarding Obama…because if you’re doing this for nothing…

That’s the saddest thing yet…

No one is GOD but GOD. Barack cannot turn water into wine and make 5 loathes of bread feed 5K people.

But according to Sandralites and the staunch republicans, if he do anything short of that, he’s a failure, a criminal, and a terrorist.

The man is a homophobe! Do you know anything about Rick Warren and why people have a problem with him being chose? He equates being gay with being a pedo or into beastality! How can you say a man like that isn’t a homophobe? It’s one thing when you have a personal opinion about gay people but when you sponsor a prop that takes away rights from a group of people you pass the bigot line a long time ago.

Do you know the real meaning of the word tolerance? Tolerance is not saying to one group, “We don’t think you fit our religious mold of what marriage is, so we’re not going to let you get married. No hard feelings!”. Just answer me one question, HOW IS THAT TOLERANCE????

Fuck that, you want me to be tolerant of a man that preaches hate cause he gives to aids charities?? Shit i’m sure the KKK did things for their community, but should they be allowed national approval?

My cool aid is yummy as ever:-) Keep it moving Barack; haters will always be around.
