heard one of the radio hosts today asking obammy to get a care package together for his brother George Hussien - suggested he send a "hut sweet hut" sign - lol
he's under the misconception, as all liberals are, that "we" is defined as "everybody but me" - thats the only way they can rationalize their lack of self-responsibility.
Nigerian Police Probe Obama Fundraising Dinner

LAGOS - Nigeria's anti-corruption police were questioning the head of the stock exchange after she organised a gala dinner in support of Barack Obama's U.S. presidential campaign which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, chairwoman of the "Africans for Obama" campaign group, organised the fundraising dinner in the commercial capital Lagos on August 11. A "platinum" ticket for a table of eight cost 2.5 million naira ($21,226).
In a letter to Nigeria's The Punch newspaper, the Obama campaign in the United States said it was in no way affiliated with "Africans for Obama" or with the gala dinner and said it would not accept any funds from the group.
It is illegal under U.S. law for foreign campaign groups to donate funds to political parties in the United States.
"We're trying to establish who is the beneficiary of the funds raised at the dinner," said Femi Babafemi, spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
"We learned that quite some hundreds of millions of naira were raised," he said.
Okereke-Onyiuke said in a full-page statement in Nigeria's The Guardian newspaper on Thursday that the Aug. 11 dinner had never been intended to raise funds or solicit donations for the Obama campaign.
"The dinner/concert held on August 11 was a relaxed atmosphere designed to sensitise and mobilise Africans worldwide and other eligible U.S. citizens to register and vote instead of passively watching history be made," she said.
She said any surplus funds from the event would be used for advertisements encouraging Africans eligible to do so to vote.
Babafemi said EFCC officials had started questioning Okereke-Onyiuke on Wednesday and were still interrogating her. He said the EFCC may seek to retrieve the money raised and return it to donors.
The idea of a man with an African father attaining the world's most powerful political office has fuelled "Obama-mania" across Africa over the past year and Nigeria, the continent's most populous nation, is no exception.
Buses and cars in the crowded streets of Lagos carry "Obama '08" bumper stickers, while militants in the oil-producing Niger Delta have even called on the U.S. Democratic presidential nominee to mediate in their conflict.
The Nigerian Stock Exchange said in a statement that it did not get involved in partisan politics but that its staff were free to spend their private time and money as they liked.
"so John McCain owns 7 houses?" At least John has the sense to ensure his houses and his family have a roof over their head - lol
obammy only made 4 million dollars last year. too bad he didn't make enough to send a care package to his own brother. oh wait. he will have the taxpayers of the United States "take care" of his brother when he gets elected.
Obama's half-brother earns $1 a month:
Obama at Saddleback Forum: "I think America’s greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me"

"I've had enough of your constant griping - you're outta here" - lol
maybe they didn't get the message? lol
funny how self-responsibility seems to show up during tragedy. at least in some segments of our society.
.....and obama said???
"3:00 AM in the Obama White House"
"3:00 AM in the Obama White House"
chunga1 - it's time to "call in the troops" and get started on defusing the rock star persona the media will be inundating us with until the election.
If we fail to go to the polls again this election, as we did in '06, we'll get what we deserve and we'll all regret the outcome.
Even though the current republicans aren't necessarily conservative, at least they're not socialists.
I feel we will have an opportunity to replace at least two supreme court justices during the next presidential term and an obama court would finalize the destruction of America and American values.
so............ it's time.........
LET'S ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a program called 'THE PRACTICE.' In last nights episode, one of the lawyer's mothers decided she is gay and wanted her son to go to court and help her get a marriage license so she could marry her 'partner.' I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply, but I did get one.
My original message was:
ABC is obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK . 'THE PRACTICE' can be a fairly good show, but last night's program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the 'dufus' of the office to be the one who was against the idea of his mother being gay, and made him look like a whiner because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me a 'gay basher..'
Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the Bible) and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it..... He, God and Jesus were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is that an alternative life style? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.)
--Jim Neugent
Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:
How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation on is built on), where it says 'All Men are Created equal,' and try treating them that way for a change!
Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence.. You are in the minority in this country, and your boycott will not affect us at ABC or our freedom of statement.
Jim Neugent's second response to ABC: Thanks for your reply. From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I will share it with all whom I come in contact. Hopefully, theArkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their col umns and I will be praying for you.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? WHERE THIS IS? READ AND LEARN ABOUT IT!!!!
This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4 th Infantry division.
It will eventually be shipped home and put in the Memorial Museum in Fort Hood , Texas.
The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by
Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad ... Kalat was so grateful for the American liberation of his country that he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam statues and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors. Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.
To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.
Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? Because it Is heart warming
and Praise worthy. The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect .
But we can do something about it. We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who are making a difference in this world with their sacrifices.
Please feel free to link this message to anyone you desire.
As a Proud Veteran - I am very thankful for this display! shazz

red - a little virus warning for all of us (especially Phil) - lol
There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK) If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means, DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote knows as Work-Isolating_neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should share this warning with five friends. If you do not have five friends, you already have been infected and WORK is controlling your life.
sure wish there was a race this week - lol
