So Democratic front runner Obama says what he doesn't mean? How can we tell what the hell he stands for then if it's down that?
It's kind of a serious ambition to want the job of President of the United States with an 'ah shucks, I'm just bamboozling and foolin' around attitude.

It will give the voters of America a clearer choice to get the government they deserve.

Busted!

Round about this point, we should be asking the Chinese gov't if they want to invest in a pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver...maybe talk about guarenteed supply contracts.

Not only busted, but busted by the second most left leaning media outfit in Canada: CTV. I've heard Obama be described as a "liberal's liberal" by someone on Glenn Beck, and for CTV to do chase after this story, well, it's like the left eating it's own.

Or, as a friend of mine said, "the stars are right!"

Interesting. Odinga. Obama. Related?

Per the CTV item "The operative said it was just campaign rhetoric not to be taken seriously." Makes one wonder just what else Obama says that we can't believe.

Does Obama's campaign have secret hotline to Stephane Dion's office where he can get tips on making a total ass of himself?

Is he running to be POTUS or to be a member of the Liberal Party of Canada?

I don't think we'll see any fawning Obama stories on CTV for a while. That will be a nice break.

Watch chew talkin bout Willis?

Obama is a punk kid who is an embarrassment to the United States.

Here he is just running for the nomination of the Democratic Party, and he's already trying to injure Canadian-American relations.

A few months back he wanted to take out the leader of Pakistan, currently an ally.

Clearly, this little punk is not ready to take on the mature responsibilities of running the United States government.

What's he going to do next? Get us into a war with New Zealand??

What amazes me about this story is how quickly CTV revealed their sources. I find that odd behaviour because normally reporters refuse to name names without severe punishment being threatened.

jwl: Traditionally jounalists don't reveal their sources because they want them to continue to be sources. In this situation CTV probably doesn't really care about these sources and because of the suggestion of the smear it is far more valuable for them to reveal.

I, personally, am relieved to hear that Obama didn't mean what said. He has said some scary things lately, that is when he says anything at all.

But can anyone believe CTV in Canada, let alone in the USA?

Canada needs FOX and an O'Reilly equivalent type for some truth in news!!

To me, it is laughable how CTV is so proud of this story while it still seems like this is getting no play in any major American news outlets. Get a grip CTV. As much as you would like acknowledgment from real news outlets, you don't need to keep patting yourselves on the back.

As for the substance, both dems' positions on NAFTA are pretty damn stupid. To think that NAFTA is the result of all those lost manufacturing jobs and not better production methods/China is just wrong.

I mean "cause", not "result"

Heh.

Obama is for "change."

He wants the change to be that you actually believe his lies.

He's an empty suit. He's a slick, weasely politician who has accomplished exactly nothing.

I NEVER like the slick candidate. If you're too polished it generally means you lie too well which makes you a sociopath. I don't want a sociopathic president.

Guess what smooth talkers are? Smooth talkers.

We will say anything to get elected "YES WE CAN"! We will say we didn't mean it "YES WE CAN"! etc etc

Jim O'Brien What you write might be true. If it is, than CTV is thinking extremely short term because future sources who wish to remain anonymous will wonder how fast CTV will turn on them.

The Audacity of Hype.

In our desire to kill the Hildebeast we created a Messiah, the Magic Negro if you will that the brown, black, yellow and red minorities can vote for.

God Help Us when we fall below the majority.

Spoken like a true Liberal; "those were campaign promises - nobody expects you to keep those."

And, somehow, the fawning of those who worship at the altar of the Obamessiah continues unabated.

Check out the Black Eyed Peas's new Obama video:

Is BHO channeling PET?

Baccarat Hussein Obama is Just a new deck in an old con being foisted upon the ignorant, poorly educated, Oprah layabouts hoping to scam a new car or 50 inch TV off the working dupe's. I don't think even Davey Snoozooky would vote for Obama. But then Canadian leftys suck big time too.

Obama, could you please tell all your Obama girls and other assorted groupies that you really aren't running at all - it's only a pleasant diversion - because it's really a blast to give speeches every day when, unlike your former students, attendees actually listen to you and appear to worship the ground that you walk on. Please tell us that you don't mean, really, you know to really run for President. I for one have heard enough of your insipid rhetoric.

Some one said Obama is for change..... HMMMM.... Here's a quarter kid go play in the traffic.

That reminds me of the 1988 Free Trade debate when John Turner went around privately assuring Winnipeg's wealthy Liberal family that the Liberal position was all a bluff.

Beautiful.

The problem for Obama is that in reality the Browns (excuse my language I don’t know if browns is PC?) don’t really care for the Negro much and the Negro doesn’t like the browns (sorry again). See what’s happening in California - they’re killing each other for the right to walk down certain streets…I don’t personally think Obama represents the other races much, except for possibly the fags & the Liberals?

that last post was to.......Rat>

Wow, rat and Knight99

Thanks for providing today's daily dose of knuckle-dragging slime-sucking racism.

It never takes long for you Einsteins to get to the real heart of the matter.

Hey, Kate, fill us in - how is Small Dead Animals any different from the standard white supremacist site?

Sure, a little more restraint can be seen here - sometimes. But it's the same ol' slobbering hateful claptrap done up in a different package.

You certainly are providing admirable service to the world!

Hey, Kate, fill us in - how is Small Dead Animals any different from the standard white supremacist site?

Quite simple actually we allow idiots like volik to comment.

Ah volik>
I was wondering when you were going to return from your estrogen treatments.

As usual I’ll start a thread, then you just go ahead and fill in the blanks with what you need to say________________________ That’s right put words in our mouths, it is the liberal thing to do. Mrs. Einstein.

Knight99:

The mind reels to think what a truly pathetic little man you must be in real life that you try and compensate with your tired racist, homophobic and misogynist comments.

Don't worry! Someday you'll get laid by a real live human being! I'm sure of it!

He he he Volik,

You really are a source of cheap entertainment!
Again - and I’m getting a little embarrassed for you, because it’s the same repeated advise over and over……..You answer your own questions on every blog this site puts up. You put words in the mouths of every poster you attempt to argument with. Your comments as they stand:
“Someday you'll get laid by a real live human being!”
Prove not only your maturity level but also your sexual orientation. Be gone sissy boy and “hang” with your boys, you are making an ass of yourself every time you put both hands on your keyboard…………go back a few blogs and see for “real” the way everyone patronizes you in this site. Grow up and travel a little, some life experience will go a long way.

hey ratt, we are almost finished now. and for all you liberal ass holes there is nothing racist about that statement.

The next three days are going to get real interesting for the Dems. Well, the rest of us, too. Hillary is going to have to pull out all the stops where it concerns Obama. She will be writing a lot of the ads for the right.

As to Obama, there are some things that become obvious. He parses words as well as Bill Clinton. He cries foul as easily as Hillary Rodman. He is a good speaker in an empty suit. But of course that is obvious to all but his groupies and the extreme-left libs.

So, is it less than PC for me to state, or question, the obvious?

His middle name IS Hussien. That IS a fact. If he is offended when someone points that out, or if he doesn't like his middle name, then he should have gone to court and changed it. If it isn't his middle name, he should tell me that.

He IS black. If it is wrong for me to mention that he is black then he should tell me why. If he is some other color then he should tell me what color he is. Until then he IS black.

He is ultra liberal. If he wants me to believe he is something else then he should define what that something else is. Otherwise, is IS ultra-liberal.

When it comes right down to it he is just as unelectable as Hillary. The voters will not elect another Clinton. The voters will not elect an ultra-liberal black. It is that simple.

Obama misreads the general public in one very serious way. Being ani-war IS NOT THE SAME as being anti-defense. Obama is anti-war, anti-military and anti-defense. The general public, and more importantly the general voter, is not all of those.

Obama misreads the Dem base. They may say they will vote for a black. They may answer the exit poll in such a way that says they voted for a black. But when the actual vote is counted it is discovered that a majority poked the button next to a different name. ( I am not a racist, but overall in the privacy of the voting booth the Democratic party is; they have proven it many times in the past.)

The Dem primary is worlds different than the general election. The southern white Democrat will not vote for a black in this general election. All of the anti-war voters will not vote for an anti-defense, anti-military far left liberal.

No matter what Obama says to the cheering crowds in Ohio about NAFTA, or in Texas about illegal immigration, when the votes are finally counted in the general election his fawning, breathless groupies will not be a large enough vote to have overcome the thinking American who has heard him unravel between September and November.

It is amazing to me that the last two Dems standing, Hillary and Obama, are unelectable. Much of the Democratic machine are beginning to realize that, and real concern is setting in behind the curtain.

the democraps are trying to shame the electorate into voting for them. If you don't vote for hillary then you hate women and if you don't vote for Obama then you are a bigot. Mccain is an old white soldier (aka evil). it's sad but it's all the dems have to offer.

If Obama thinks people are being too tough on him right now, what's he going to do when he secures the Democrat nomination?

This is a walk in the park compared to the scrutiny he will face then. As for the black vote, my understanding is Democrats garner about 80% right now. Is Obama going to get that to 100%? Not likely.

McCain is an experienced, moderate politician with a track record, and is a war hero to boot. That may be meaningless in Canada, but it's real important in US. Let's not forget the ill-fated John Kerry "reporting for duty" nonsense.

IMO, the only chance Obama has is with HRC as his running mate. I don't think she will agree, though; not just because she has a big ego (nothing wrong with that) and doesn't want to play second fiddle. No, she may want to take another run at it in 2012. If she signs onto his ticket, and loses, then that hurts her later chances. If he wins, then she can't credibly challenge an incumbent president in '12.

We will see, but I hereby predict John McCain will be the next President of USA. On va voir.

Who cares, Knight99?

I could barely read your semi-literate post with its inappropriate use of quotation marks, etc.

But that's no surprise since the content resembles the droolings of an inbred hayseed who'd be impotent even if the possibility of a sexual experience did present itself.

You and the rest of the apes who post here are walking anachronisms. Your posts consist of a lot of bitter whining that you can't refer derisively to black people or homosexuals in public anymore - like in the good old days.

But thank God Kate's built a little clubhouse here for you apes to swing around and indulge in your hatefest to the max.

I'm sure you're massaging your inadequacies in your crusty boxer shorts even now as you contemplate your next brilliant outburst about "fags" and "sissy boys".

Let'er rip, Knight99!

What a fool.

volik, what is it about Lefties that inevitably leads you people to these sexual orientation outbursts? Is it genetic, or do you take a course?

Leave me out of your misery eh? Go play at Rabble with your Bonobo buddies and let the grown ups talk.

Uh, Phantom...

Knight99 started the sexual orientation stuff with his talk of "fags" and later of "sissy boys"

Obviously reading comprehesnion is not your strong suit, but a *little* more attention might save you from embarrassing yourself like this.

Ta.

What's with all the pointless commenters crying on this thread?
