Q. ABOUT THE COMMON GOOD, THE COMMON GROUND AND COMMON GOOD. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A TIME YOU KNOW A LOT â€" I’VE SEEN A LOT OF GOOD LEGISLATIONS GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF PARTY LOYALTY. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE YOU WENT AGAINST PARTY LOYALTY AND MAYBE EVEN WENT AGAINST YOUR OWN BEST INTEREST FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA?
A. WELL, I’LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE THAT IN FACT I WORKED WITH JOHN MCCAIN ON AND THAT WAS THE ISSUE OF CAMPAIGN ETHICS REFORM AND FINANCE REFORM. THAT WASN’T PROBABLY IN MY INTEREST OR HIS FOR THAT MATTER BECAUSE THE TRUTH WAS BOTH DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS OR OF LIKE THE STATUS QUO AND I WAS NEW TO THE SENATE AND IT DIDN’T NECESSARILY ENGENDER A LOT OF POPULARITY WHEN I STARTED SAYING YOU KNOW WE’RE GOING TO ELIMINATE MEALS AND GIFTS FROM CORPORATE LOBBYISTS.
I REMEMBER ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES WHOSE NAME WILL BE UNMENTIONED WHO SAID, WELL, WHERE DO YOU EXPECT US TO EAT MCDONALD’S? AND I THOUGHT WELL, ACTUALLY, A LOT OF OUR CONSTITUENTS PROBABLY DO EAT AT MCDONALD’S SO THAT WOULDN’T BE SUCH A BAD THING. BUT I THINK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET A BILL PASSED THAT HASN’T MADE WASHINGTON PERFECT BUT AT LEAST IT MOVING THINGS FORWARD.
OK so here is the link and below to the press release of the letter.

The Honorable Barack Obama
United States Senate
SH-713
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Obama:
I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere. When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership’s preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable. Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I’m embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.
As you know, the Majority Leader has asked Chairman Collins to hold hearings and mark up a bill for floor consideration in early March. I fully support such timely action and I am confident that, together with Senator Lieberman, the Committee on Governmental Affairs will report out a meaningful, bipartisan bill.
Sending his wife out to the dirty work was despicable enough, the man shows no back bone let alone being tagged a liar of the first order. He has kept this masqurade of legitimacy up for years and for political expediancy.
And since he has out right lied about the marital status of his parents, it raises the logical question. Is he telling the truth about who his true father is. Now we must ask, is Barack Hussein Obama senior really his biological father? What greater skelletons are there lurking in the Obama Family tree?
This latest revelation certainly debunks the claim of his latgest TV ad as being raised with a Kansas Family Value system of the heartland as a farce that taints traditional American Family values.
So this is who our democrat party leaders want to stand behind, this is the type of individual that is the best the democrats have to offer, a sad state of affairs. Barack Hussein Obama the bastard son of the democratic party. Sound harsh dosn't it? Well sadly it is the truth as confirmed by Michelle Obama.
Obama's whole position of Hope, Change and a New Governance has just flown out the window. Not because his parents made very bad choices, but because Obama chose to lie and hide this rather improtant fact. We have to be able to trust anyone who is to be president 100% and Obama has proven time and time again that he incapable of earning that trust. First by his Flip Flops on Campaign Finance, FISA, and Iraq. Now about this most fundamental information.
Many of us the former traditional base of the Democratic Party are being vindicated in our suspecions of Obama each and every day. I hate to tell you all that we told you so, but just search back in the earlier posts by Clinton supporters on this very website and blogs and you will find we have been warning everyone about Obama from day one.
Well now the party has made it's bed and they will have to lie in it. I hope you enjoy another 4 years of a republican in the whitehouse. Dean, Brazile and Pelosi amongst many others have brought you to this.
I am still waiting for the Obama Campaign to release Obama's Selective Service Registration Information. Parties have been asking for the campaign to release Obama's Selective Service registration Information for a year now and they turn a deaf ear to the requests.
If Obama neglected to register for Selective Service not only is he in Violation od Federal Laws but he is prohibited from holding the Office of the President of the USA.



ALBUQUERQUE, NM — While he focused on courting women voters at a local New Mexico bakery today, Obama wasn’t asked many questions on specific women’s issues. Instead, he was confronted on whether he would actually be able to keep his campaign promises. “You’re a very charismatic person,” said a woman named Erin, an employee of Flying Star Bakery. “How do you keep yourself true to the things that you say? And if you are to become President, how are you going to follow through?”
Obama's answer: See if you can figure it out...... Quote: Obama, however, pointed to his record as a community organizer and a lawmaker — but also to his family and the people he’s met during the campaign. “What I find, the longer I’m in politics, especially at this level, is that if you’re not actually getting something done then its probably not worth it because I’m away from my daughters all the time and I’m away from my wife all the time,” he said. “The only way it makes it worthwhile is if I’m actually getting something done.” “If you’re not getting something done then its all just vanity, then its all just ‘oh I like being in the limelight.’ And you, know all of us who get into politics probably at some point enjoy the attention, but what I find at least is the longer you’re in it the less cool it is,” he continued. “I’ve done Letterman, I’ve done the Daily Show, been on the cover of Rolling Stone.” But he also said the people on the rope line keep him inspired to work to bring them the help they deserve. “People are so generous to me investing their hopes in me,” he said — proceeding to put his hand in his pocket and draw out a handful of small trinkets. “I usually don’t show in these town hall meetings, but I carry around all these-I have all these things that people give me,” he said. “They’ll hand it to you and they’ll say I want you to be well but I want you to fight for me.”
Huh?

“I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps and the story in our family is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months, right. Now obviously something had really affected him deeply but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” he said.
This is a scene straight out of a movie, I can see it in my head. Kudos to the first one who, can ID the film.
Now the campaign pouring salt into the open wound that Barack Hussein Obama wrought, by trying to cover up the intentional use of the name Auschwitz as some slip of the toung. Oh it was his great uncle, and it was Ohrdruf a work camp. But then no one in the audience would have known what he was talking about. Ohrdruf? Never heard of it. But Auschwitz! Now there is a name that has some balls behind it.
Obama fully well knew the lie he was spinning, and using the Auschwitz name for shock vlue, This was done with malice of foethought and because of that the more dispicable of an act. Obama had no problems abusing the dead to make himself a part of the Schindler family and all the others that hid and helped the Jews escape the horrors of the death camps.
This was no Gaffe it was a Cold and Calculated speech to curry favor, He might as well as pinned the Medal of Honor on his chest and called it his own. There is only one word for actions such as this. Disgusting.
How dare he take credit for family heroics that is a Bald Faced Lie! On my faters side of the family my dad and my grand ma were the only one to escape the Nazi Death Camps. The russians liberated the majority of the death camps so either Obama is a bald faced Liar or so uninformed on the subject that he has no business going near the subject.
Evaryone who lost family to the horrors of those camps demand an appology for this outright attempt at self glorification by Obama. That does it the man is unworthy of being a dog catcher.
My father took this pohotograph, Obama is scum for using this to glorify his family. Take a good look a real good look. You want a man who would dredge this up and use a LIE saying one of his relatives freed the death camp survivors! I am going to repost thi until you are sick of it. And remember brought to you by Barack Hussein Obama.

Defeat of Nazi Germany, 1942-1945

The Soviets liberated Auschwitz, the largest extermination and concentration camp, in January 1945. The Nazis had forced the majority of Auschwitz prisoners to march westward (in what would become known as "death marches"), and Soviet soldiers found only several thousand emaciated prisoners alive when they entered the camp. There was abundant evidence of mass murder in Auschwitz. The retreating Germans had destroyed most of the warehouses in the camp, but in the remaining ones the Soviets found personal belongings of the victims. They discovered, for example, hundreds of thousands of men's suits, more than 800,000 women's outfits, and more than 14,000 pounds of human hair.

The young dead soldiers do not speak.
Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses:
who has not heard them?
They have a silence that speaks for them at night
and when the clock counts.
They say: We were young. We have died.
Remember us.
They say: We have done what we could
but until it is finished it is not done.
They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished
no one can know what our lives gave.
They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours,
they will mean what you make them.
They say: Whether our lives and our deaths were for
peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say,
it is you who must say this.
We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.
We were young, they say. We have died; remember us.
by Archibald MacLeish,
1892-1982, American Poet
They provide valuable services in establishing communications networks, operating high technology survailence and reconisence equipment and many other roles. They drive truck in supply convoys many time without any military escort through hazardous areas rife with IED's that have killed not just a few. They are translators,electricians, security, cooks, electrical and communications engineers they are there because in thier professions they chose ones that support our forces on the ground and are no less in harms way than our brave sons and daughters.
