Sorry, Sen. Obama, the “MISTER ROGERS” Defense won’t work: “For 20 Years, Obama Never Complained!”

by TheTruthSquad

Why is the Media persecuting Gov. Sarah Palin about the silliest details, while ignoring far more serious evidence about Sen. Barack Hussein Obama and the people he has chosen to surround himself with?

We have all seen the distasteful situation where the Main Stream Media ("MSM") continues to turn over rocks in Alaska trying to find every possible issue, no matter how minor, to persecute Gov. Sarah Palin. 

Well, it is time to speak plainly, with seven days to go in this Election: There is a double standard here. Even as we see the media hoopla over the silliest small details of Sarah Palin’s life being investigated and misrepresented, what is the media ignoring about Barack Obama? If people. after knowing these details, still choose to vote for Barack Obama, that is their right; but these facts should be known, so that citizens can cast a truly informed vote.  Why does the MSM keep looking the other way on issues like these:

Barack Hussein Obama keeps rolling out the “Mister Rogers” defense ("They’re just People in My Neighborhood") about people like his close friend, domestic terrorist William “Abu Zayd” Ayers, or Rashid Khalidi, or Raela Odinga, or Edward Said, or Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour --- but how does Obama possibly try to explain away his pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, when:

1. Obama has called Rev. Wright “my pastor, my mentor, my personal friend, and a member of my family”,
2. Obama’s wedding was performed by Rev. Wright;
3. Obama had his first child baptized by Rev. Wright;
4. Obama had his second child baptized by Rev. Wright;
5. Obama sat in the pews at Rev. Wright’s Church for TWENTY YEARS; and
6. Obama took the Title of his book, “The Audacity of Hope” directly from one of Rev. Wright’s famous sermons!

SORRY, BARACK OBAMA, BUT THE “MISTER ROGERS” DEFENSE DOESN’T WORK HERE. The Rev. Wright is obviously far more than “just a person in my neighborhood”!

We all know that, in life, when assessing the Character of someone you never met before, you can tell a lot about a person by looking at his companions. Who are Obama’s best friends? Terrorists or terrorist sympathizers like Rashid Khalidi, William “Abu Zayd” Ayers (see photo on left, of William “Abu Zayd” Ayers stomping on the American Flag for the front cover of Chicago Magazine in 2003; and no, Obama was not “8 years old” in 2003, or in 2008, this year, when Ayers is at present a top advisor to America-hating dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela), Anton Reszko, Edward Said, Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour, the Rev. Wright, and Raela Odinga (Odinga is Obama’s cousin, who Obama as a sitting U.S. Senator campaigned for in Kenya when Odinga ran for President of Kenya on a platform of imposing Islamic Shar’ia Law on that country)?

If you want to learn more about any of these charming characters who have served as friends and mentors to Barack Obama, just Google their names. Prepare to be STUNNED, SHOCKED at what the MSM is leaving unreported, even as with their double-standard they turn over rocks in Alaska to persecute Gov. Sarah Palin.

For example, Obama admits that Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour is the professor who was the mentor who pulled strings to get Obama admitted into Harvard Law School notwithstanding Obama’s weak undergraduate record.  Khalid Al-Mansour, who continues to be an adviser to Obama today, has authored such America-Hating books as: THE CHALLENGES OF SPREADING ISLAM IN AMERICA, author: Dr. Khalid Tariq al-Mansour $16.95 Out of Stock, and THE DESTRUCTION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, author: Dr Khalid Al-Mansour; WILL THE WEST RULE FOREVER?, author: Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour; and THE BIRTH AND DEATH OF CHRISTIANITY, author: Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour. 

Meanwhile, Obama’s “Christian” Pastor Rev. Wright, together with Louis Farrakhan, head of the “Nation of Islam”, traveled to Libya to meet with Libyan Dictator Moammar al-Qaddafi, who stated:

“Africa and the Arab world are ready to back and finance Barack Obama.”

(for full details, go to: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/06/gaddafi-arab-world-ready-to-finance.html)

These are the kind of people who have mentored Barack Hussein Obama, and who continue to mentor him today.  Please think about these facts, before you vote next Tuesday, November 4th.

What is Obama hiding regarding Rev. Wright, who Obama called “my pastor, my mentor, my personal friend and a member of my family?” “For 20 Years, Obama Never Complained!”

What is Obama hiding regarding his mentor, Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour?

SORRY, SEN. OBAMA, BUT WE JUST DON’T THINK THE REV. WRIGHT or Dr. Al-MANSOUR, WITH THEIR VENOM AND HATE, WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE FRIENDLY, DECENT, POLITE FOLKS IN MR. ROGERS’ NEIGHBORHOOD:

NOT READY TO LEAD:  a President can’t just vote “Present” .  .  .  and can’t just NOT SHOW UP.

by TheTruthSquad

Didn’t anybody ever teach Barack Hussein Obama the old saying that “Half of success in life is just showing up”?  Take a minute to see this video PROOF of Obama’s high and mighty arrogance, continuously showing total disrespect for all of the other members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee --- Sen. Obama apparently felt he was so high and mighty that as a freshman senator he seemed to think he didn’t have to bother to show up for the Hearings!  I guess now we know why Obama seems so clueless on foreign policy issues. 

We already know from the stunning arrogance of tonight’s ridiculous television “oval office address” by Obama even BEFORE the people have voted, that Obama’s arrogance and egotism have no limits; but I thought that was largely due to a year and a half of the Press idolizing him and swelling his head.  This video shows that the arrogance and I’m-above-the-mere-mortals attitude was there even within Obama’s first two years as a brand-new freshman senator! 

Barack Hussein Obama is obviously NOT READY TO LEAD:  a President can’t just vote “Present” .  .  .  and a President can’t just NOT SHOW UP.  Maybe Obama learned some bat habits when he was a two-bit back-bencher State Legislator in Illinois. Unlike an executive job like being Governor (such as Gov. Palin) a back-bencher State Legislator in Illinois has no real responsibilities—the hardest part of his job is checking with the local lieutenant from Chicago Mayor Boss Daley Jr. as to how he is supposed to vote that day (on the days when Obama bothered to show up in that job too).  Does Obama EVER focus on his present job, or does he just always focus on the next rung on the ladder?  What is Obama going to do if gets elected President --- just focus on how to step up to becoming Emperor of the New World Order?

Check out the dates on this video; they are ALL within Obama’s first two years in office, long before Sen. Obama started his Presidential campaign.  Several of the hearings are within his first few months in office as a U.S. Senator (he was sworn in to office in January 2005).

Obama’s childishness, immaturity, irresponsibility, and disdain for others are just breathtaking!  So, what would a “President” Obama do in the REAL (not a pretend oval office, like his television set tonight) Oval Office—bring back sophomoric 3:00am pizza party bull-sessions like Slick Willie Clinton did even as Osama bin Laden’s scheming was being ignored by the Clinton administration?  Do we really need another overgreen teenager in the White House? They’ve got Obama on tape here, not just once, but multiple times; so Obama can’t just deny, deny, deny and lie his way out of this one!  Check out this astonishing video:

Who Draws Better Crowds?

by Garret A. Hobart

The media swoons over the junior Senator from Illinois.  They marvel at the crowds that he draws as if he were handing out fishes and loaves, but truth be known, Governor Palin draws bigger crowds.  See our MFP Truth Squad analysis below.

THE QUESTION: Who’s drawing the better crowds out on the campaign trail, Barack Obama or Sarah Palin?

OK, HERE ARE THE FACTS:

3% of St. Louis turns out for Obama

Sen. Obama recently drew a crowd estimated at 75,000 to 100,000 people in St. Louis, Missouri.  Impressive?  Well, maybe.  You see, the population of St. Louis is 2,866,517, so if Obama drew 87,500 people (splitting the difference between the 75,000 and 100,000 estimates) so, a mere 3.04% of the population of St. Louis showed up to see Sen. Obama.

79% of six small cities turn out for Palin

Gov. Sarah Palin recently drew crowds totaling 131,500 in six small cities with a total aggregate population of 165,462 people.  So, 79.47% of the population of these six small cities showed up to see Gov. Palin. 

To put it another way, even though St. Louis has 2,801,045 more people than these six cities combined, Palin still drew 131,500 people to Obama’s approximately 87,500.

Here’s the recent rundown on how Sarah Palin’s doin’ out on the campaign trail:

Gov. Palin yesterday, October 19, 2008, drew 20,000 in Roswell, New Mexico, Population 45,329.  Other estimates of he Roswell crowd ranged from 10,000 to 15,000(the day before Sen. Biden had drawn only “several hundred” people in Las Cruces, NM, population 89,732).  [See “Palin Beats Biden in the duel in the desert” on this website, an exclusive, a first-hand report from a college student who attended Governor Palin’s Roswell, NM rally and was near the front row of the estimated 20,000 who attended]

Gov. Palin drew 24,000 in Noblesville, Indiana, population 38,825.

Gov. Palin drew 6,500 to an airplane hangar Bangor, Maine, population 31,473.

Gov. Palin drew 10,000 in Salem, New Hampshire. population 29,580, the same day that Sen. Obama himself was in the same state in Londonderry, NH population 23,236 and only drew a little over 4,000.
Gov. Palin drew 11,000 in Wilmington, Ohio, population 11,922

Gov. Palin drew 60,000 in The Villages, Florida, Population 8,333

THE VERDICT:  Governor Palin wins, hands down, by a score of Palin 79 to Obama 3!  (Of course, some of these small cities may have more population in the surrounding areas, but most do not.  For example, in Roswell, NM, the city of 45,000 is surrounded by a couple of hundred miles of desert in every direction). In state after state, city after city, again and again, the pattern is consistent: when Gov. Palin goes into a small city, virtually the entire city shuts down, as 79% of the people come out to see her.  Meanwhile, only 3% of St. Louis came out for the Obama rally.
