McCain Polls Show Gain on Obama Lead Among Likely Voters.

Gains for McCain in latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll - On Politics - USATODAY.com

Republican presidential candidate John McCain moved from being behind by 6 points among "likely" voters a month ago to a 4-point lead over Democrat Barack Obama among that group in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. McCain still trails slightly among the broader universe of "registered" voters. By both measures, the race is tight.

The Friday-Sunday poll, mostly conducted as Obama was returning from his much-publicized overseas trip and released just this hour, shows McCain now ahead 49%-45% among voters that Gallup believes are most likely to go to the polls in November. In late June, he was behind among likely voters, 50%-44%.

Senator John McCain

I saw this poll Monday and just waited to see how many of the main News Media would carry it. I mean every poll that Barack Obama is leading in, all the News Media report it. But not for poor John McCain. I need some of you to help me. Maybe I missed it or just can't find it, but this is not reported by the New York Times, Washington Post or the Los Angeles Times. Do you think that they are bias?

Now the Politico reported about McCain's jump in the polls among most likely to vote, but the title of the post read,

The campaign is all about Obama

Despite vulnerabilities that have kept the race closer in polls than most analysts expected — and McCain even jumped to a 4 percentage point lead among likely voters in a USA Today/Gallup Poll released Monday — Barack Obama dominates the race by virtually any other measure. He is dictating the agenda and soaking up news coverage as McCain and his team scramble to react.

Barack Obama dominates the race. Why, because the News Media is kissing his ass. Most analysts expected, with the News Media in his corner, to be up over 50 percent and now that John McCain is 4 percent ahead of Obama in likely voters, they don't want the public to know it.They will use the power of the media to help Obama win and McCain lose.

I have faith in the people of this great country. They will see through all the smoke and mirrors that the press is throwing at them. The new media, the internet and conservative radio, is growing. The old media, National newspapers and national television news is dying.

Have faith in the people of this country, just tell them the truth and let them make their own decision.

German Government Promotes Obama over McCain with Speech.

Anticipation, Griping Increases Before Obama Speech in Berlin | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 23.07.2008

Those wishing to attend have been advised that signs and posters will be prohibited at the speech -- a move that has come in for criticism particularly from the left. There has been speculation that the Obama camps wants to avoid pictures of Germans making anti-American
statements that could hurt the candidate back home.

Moreover, some residents of Germany's perennially cash-strapped capital have taken umbrage at the fact that Obama's visit will cost a half-million euros ($786,000) -- half of which will be born by German public funds.

"How come the German and the Berlin taxpayer has to pony up 250,000 euros so that Obama gets a nice television backdrop for his campaign?"

Barack Obama, Germany Speech

Why would the German Government spend a quarter of a million dollars to promote Barack Obama? Why would the German Government promote Obama over John McCain and interfere with our election? Obama has a 72 percent approval rating in Germany. Is this because they like Obana or hate President Bush?

Berlin authorities expect up to a million people to show up at the Strasse des 17 Juni between the Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column, or Siegesaeule, to hear Obama speak.

They did everything they could to promote Obama's speech. He was promoted in newspapers, magazines with cut out American flags, free music, food and drinks. They were hoping for a million people and doing everything they could to get them there. But Barack Obama spoke only to 200,000 people. Even though the city of Berlin has a population of 3.4 million, Obama only pulled in 6 percent of the population.

Now the people of Berlin are wondering if spending the $250,000 was worth it. They are saying that Obama still hadn't spelt out his stance on a number of thorny issues. "Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and missile defense - these are the issues that is more important to them.

Europeans are going to find out whether the love affair with Obama is going to be sustainable.

Obama Cancels Visit to Military Hospital in Germany , Works Out at the Ritz.

In the gym with Barack Obama: BILD reporter gets up close - Bild.de

It's 16:02pm and I’ve been training in the gym of the Ritz
Carlton hotel in Berlin. A man in a suit approaches me and says:
"Barack Obama is about to come and train ...“ Shortly after half past four and he actually arrives! Barack Obama is wearing a grey t-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms – and a great smile!

"Hi, how’s it going?“asks Obama in his deep voice. My heart beats. "Very good, and you?" I say. Obama replies: "Very good, thank you!"

Obama (with toned arms and a strong back) puts on his headphones for his iPod to listen to pop music. He hums quietly. Then he jumps on a fitness bike. He pushes three times on the pedals – but then can’t be bothered with it.

Young Obama on workout bike.

The thing that you must remember, is that Barack Obama was intended to visit our troops all the way until Wednesday night. So the man had the time to visit our troops. But what stopped him? When his campaign found out that it could not bring a photographer and turn this visit by a politician into a campaign event.

Here is the Official Barack Obama Excuse.


Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, an Obama adviser, said in a statement. "We learned from the Pentagon [Wednesday] night that the visit would be viewed instead as a campaign event. Senator Obama did not want to have a trip to see our wounded warriors perceived as a campaign event . . . and decided instead not to go." Do you believe this crap?

Do you think this perfect picture was staged? Lighting perfect, head tilted perfect, angle and back ground perfect.



Sen. Obama paid an early morning visit Thursday to Jerusalem's Western Wall. Sen. Obama wore a white yarmulke, or Jewish skullcap, and was escorted to the site by the site's chief rabbi, Shmuel Rabinovich. The Rabbi read Psalm 122 while Sen. Obama stood contemplatively before the wall. ( While a photographer snapped 100 pictures) The presidential candidate then placed a note of his wishes in the wall, a customary practice for Jewish worshippers.

Can you imagine what the pictures would have looked like with Obama and our wounded troops. The whole trip was one big photo op. Obama you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Your house of cards will fall.

Obama Citizen, Leader of the World.

Thank you to the citizens of Berlin and to the people of Germany. Let me thank Chancellor Merkel and Foreign Minister Steinmeier for welcoming me earlier today. Thank you Mayor Wowereit, the Berlin Senate, the police, and most of all thank you for this welcome.

I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you...a fellow citizen of the world.

In this new world, such dangerous currents have swept along faster than our efforts to contain them. That is why we cannot afford to be divided. No one nation, no matter how large or powerful, can defeat such challenges alone. None of us can deny these threats, or escape responsibility in meeting them. Yet, in the absence of Soviet tanks and a terrible wall, it has become easy to forget this truth. And if we're honest with each other, we know that sometimes, on both sides of the Atlantic, we have drifted apart, and forgotten our shared destiny.

People of Berlin people of the world this is our moment. This is our time. We have done our duty, and we will keep on doing our duty. People of the world: now do your duty, People of the world, look at Berlin!"

In Europe, the view that America is part of what has gone wrong in our world, rather than a force to help make it right, has become all too common. In America, there are voices that deride and deny the importance of Europe's role in our security and our future.

In this new century, Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more not less. Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the one way, the only way, to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.

After centuries of strife, the people of Europe have formed a Union of promise and prosperity. Here, at the base of a column built to mark victory in war, we meet in the center of a Europe at peace.

Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It was this spirit that led airlift planes to appear in the sky above our heads, and people to assemble where we stand today. And this is the moment when our nations and all nations must summon that spirit anew.

In this century, we need a strong European Union that deepens the security and prosperity of this continent, while extending a hand abroad. In this century in this city of all cities we must reject the Cold War mind-set of the past, and resolve to work with Russia when we can, to stand up for our values when we must, and to seek a partnership that extends across this entire continent.

This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.


People of Berlin and people of the world the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. Let us build on our common history, and seize our common destiny, and once again engage in that noble struggle to bring justice and peace to our world.

Is this the New World Order ?

Barack Obama Steals Ronald Reagan's Line, Citizens of the World.

Ronald Reagan: Remarks in New York City Before the United Nations General Assembly Special Session Devoted to Disarmament

Mr. Secretary-General, Mr. President, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen: I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world. I come with the heartfelt wishes of my people for peace, bearing honest proposals and looking for genuine progress.

My people have sent me here today to speak for them as citizens of the world, which they truly are, for we Americans are drawn from every nationality represented in this chamber today. We understand that men and women of every race and creed can and must work together for peace. We stand ready to take the next steps down the road of cooperation through verifiable arms reduction.

President Ronald Reagan 1981-1989

Ronald Reagan addressed the United Nations as a citizen of the United States and of the world. Why would he say this? Because Americans are truly citizens of the world, we are drawn from every nationality represented in the United Nations today. President Reagan was saying that we, the United States, are truly the care takers of the world.

Now this is how Barack Obama use this phase.

Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen, a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

Now the important question is what did Obama mean by this?

"Yes, there have been differences between America and Europe. No doubt, there will be differences in the future. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together."People of Berlin, people of the world this is our moment. This is our time." Is this a call for a "New World Order?"

New World Order refers to a conspiracy concerning a powerful and secretive group alleged to be plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks and balances in world power struggles.

Now let us compare the speeches of President Ronald Reagan and US Senator Barrack Obama.

President Reagan, "let me point out, at the end of World War II, we were the only undamaged industrial power in the world. Our military supremacy was unquestioned. We had harnessed the atom and had the ability to unleash its destructive force anywhere in the world. In short, we could have achieved world domination, but that was contrary to the character of our people. Instead, we wrote a new chapter in the history of mankind."

Senator Obama, "the size of our forces was no match for the much larger Soviet Army. And yet retreat would have allowed Communism to march across Europe. Where the last war had ended, another World War could have easily begun. All that stood in the way was Berlin."

President Reagan, "We used our power and wealth to rebuild the war-ravaged economies of the world, both East and West, including those nations who had been our enemies. We took the initiative in creating such international institutions as this United Nations, where leaders of good will could come together to build bridges for peace and prosperity."

Senator Obama, "I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions."

Now let us compare the ending of their speeches.

President Reagan, "Let no nation abuse this common longing to be free of fear. We must not manipulate our people by playing upon their nightmares. We must serve mankind through genuine disarmament. With God's help we can secure life and freedom for generations to come.Thank you very much."


Senator Obama, "People of Berlin and people of the world the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. Let us build on our common history, and seize our common destiny, and once again engage in that noble struggle to bring justice and peace to our world."


Now, do you think Senator Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States? I think not.

Barack Obama Citizen of the World, What about U.S., Who's first?

Will Media Report Concert Before Obama's Berlin Speech? | NewsBusters.org

Remember back in May when media gushed and fawned over a huge crowd in Portland, Oregon -- supposedly gathered to hear the words of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama -- but chose not to report the free concert given before his speech?

Well, it has been learned that before the presumptive Democrat nominee spoke to a crowd in Berlin Thursday, two popular German acts -- reggae artist Patrice and rock band Reamonn -- entertained the gathering audience.

Germany: No to Obama

Please is Barack Obama running for President of the United States or Citizen of the World. He said he is a Citizen of the World, so who is he going to support, the U.S. or the World?

“I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before, although tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world,” Obama said.

Should Barack Obama just said, I'm a proud citizen of the United States and left it there? Maybe it's not his fault, because all of his speeches are written for him, so maybe these are not his words.

But as a Citizen of the World will he put his country first or the World first? Here is a hint in his speech, "People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time." Boy does he have balls.

And here is what Barack Obama believe about the United States, "I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions."

Now Barack Obama has said that we made a mistake by invading Iraq and here is the last sentence of his speech. "But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. With an eye towards the future, with resolve in our heart, let us remember this history, and answer our destiny, and remake the world once again."

Just words, Just bullshit. Keep speaking Obama, we are getting to know you more and more each day. And the Proud Citizen of the United States don't like what you are saying.

Al Gore, World Will End in Ten Years.

Gore Calls for Carbon-Free Electric Power - NYTimes.com

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Al Gore said on Thursday that Americans must abandon electricity generated by fossil fuels within a decade and rely on the sun, the winds and other environmentally friendly sources of power, or risk losing their national security as well as their creature comforts.

“The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk,” Mr. Gore said in a speech to an energy conference here. “The future of human civilization is at stake.”

Do you believe this? "The future of human civilization is at stake." We have just ten years. How can you build new power plants for 300 million people in the United States in ten years? One nuclear plant takes 10 years to build. What other power plants besides nuclear is producing power to light up a city or even a subdivision? And the last question, who is going to pay for this? You and me?

In it, Gore cited military-intelligence studies warning of “dangerous national security implications” tied to climate change, including the possibility of “hundreds of millions of climate refugees” causing instability around the world.

Now Al Gore said that all these climate refugees will cause national security implications but I guess the 15 to 20 million refugees from Mexico is not a security implications. When it comes to Mexican refugees according to the Democrats and Al Gore, its okay to have them here and they must be part of our society. But when it come to climate refugees they will be a security problem.

So all of you who believe we just have 10 years, make plans to move into the mountains. It's impossible to be carbon free in 10 years. Please sell your house to a good conservative. We believe we will be here for a long time.

Barack Obama, Leading or Following the Leader?

Critics Blast Obama for Setting Foreign Policy Before Iraq Visit - America’s Election HQ

Barack Obama’s continued call for a troop withdrawal timetable in Iraq has critics complaining that he’s set on that policy before even taking his highly anticipated trip to the Middle East.

The Illinois senator has over the past two days escalated a campaign to minimize Iraq in the context of the overall war on terror

Tell me what you want & I will lead.

What would you call a person who make a decision with out all the facts? Foolish? Would you like a Supreme Justice to make a judgment without all the facts or a doctor to operate on you without all the facts? Then why would you want a President who makes up his mind before he talks to our Generals? Where is Obama getting his facts?

Obama Pledged to end the war by the summer of 2010. How does he know that this is possible? He has not talked to anyone in charge. What is his plan for run and retreat? Then Terrorism wins in Iraq and Osama bin Laden was right. Americans can't handle casualties.

Al Qaeda was involved in the bombing of two hotels in Aden, Yemen,
which targeted American troops en route to Somalia on a humanitarian
and peacekeeping mission. It also gave massive assistance to Somali
militias, whose efforts brought the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces
in 1994.

Key word, eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces. This is what Barrack Obama wants to do in Iraq. The eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces before winning this war and the terrorist will strike again.

Where is Barack Obama getting his advice on foreign policy? Susan Rice, she sat by while more than one million Rwandans were butchered in a bloody genocide. She let the phone ring and declined to offer any answer that would have saved lives. And she is one of Barack’s key advisors.

If you want to know what kind of President Obama will make, just do a back ground check on his advisors. You will be surprised!

More on Obama and Iraq

Muslim Portrayal Slams Obama.

Obama slams Muslim portrayal - Mike Allen - Politico.com

Barack Obama's campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Obama in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife.

An American flag burns in their fireplace.

The New Yorker says it's satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.

Now I am proud baby.

Can you believe the New Yorker did this? Obama can,t believe it. The New Yorker is suppose to be in his corner and making fun of Republicans, like they always do, not Obama.

But the New Yorker did this for a reason, not to hurt Obama, but to make money. With the growth of the internet and the growth of blogging, more people are leaving the printed page and getting their information from the Net. I personally think the New Yorker needed money and saw the opportunity to increase their readership.The number one reason they print the magazine, is to make money and the number one reason people work there, is to receive a pay check.

Today a lot of national publications are losing money and laying people off, this is because they forgot they are in the business to make money. They.re good at printing stories, but no one wants to read them, this is why they're losing money.

So something must be wrong in what they are printing. Are they printing the news or their opponion? People want the news, not their opponion. You see people like to read the news and make their own opponion. This is why Fox is successful ...and you decide.

What make this cover in the New Yorker work, is that you can look at it and then you can decide.

Democrats Count Iraq Casualties but Push for Partial Birth Abortion.

McCain: Cutting casualties in Iraq is primary goal - Yahoo! News

John McCain said it is more important to avoid casualties in Iraq than bringing troops home. As you can guess the Democrats went bananas. The Democrats declared that McCain is out of touch with the public, but they don't what to drill for oil. He is out of touch and don't know the needs of the military, but the Democrats have to be dragged to finance them.

The Democrats are keeping the count of the deaths in Iraq and the News Media is helping them. Do you remember the count down during the October 2006 mid term elections. Every day we were told how many Americans died that day. They all cried this is Bush's War and they all told us when 1000 died, 2000 died, 3000 died and now when 4000 died. The Democrats cry, please remove our troops so no more will die.

Do you think the Democrats, their followers and the press care about these lives? Demorcrats are the ones who push Partial Birth Abortion and abortion in general. They don't care about these lives. Do you think that only 4000 babies were aborted in the last six years?
According to Planned Parenthood, there are at least 164,000 abortions after the first three months of pregnancy, and 13,000 abortions after 4 1/2 months and these number are regarded as minimums. Democrats and their followers don't want to stop this.

What is partial birth abortion and why is it performed? First partial birth abortion involves partial delivery of a baby in its third trimester, following which an abortionist doctor jams scissors into the base of the baby's skull. The dead baby is then removed from the birth canal. Christian burial? No, the baby is throw into the trash to be burned as tissue.

The reason Partial Birth Abortions are preform is because the baby is too far along for normal saline, (salt) to destroy the baby. The baby is too big for suction, the baby's limbs are too strong to pull apart. Because of the lack of options, Partial Birth Abortion is the preferred choice.

Now do you believe that the Democrats care about the lives in Iraq or Afghanistan? Remember, this is Bush's War and the Democrats want ot destroy President Bush and the Republicans. If this was the Clinton War, you would not here a peep, because they really don't care about human life.

Obama Blames Everyone but Himself for Iraq Miscue.

Obama Refines the Blame on Iraq Miscue - The Caucus - Politics - New York Times Blog

Mr. Obama said he would gather additional information in Iraq and "continue to refine my policies? Which he is saying he will listen to the Generals right? Well that is exactly what George Bush is doing. But Bush is asking the Generals how do we win this war and bring the troops home. Obama is going to ask the Generals how do we run and retreat without loosing more US lives?

Mr. Obama said "continue to refine my policies" even before he spoke to any Generals. It is not like, " well, after I have consulted with our Generals in Iraq". He already made a descision he was going to change his mine before heading to Iraq. Meaning he doesn't know what is going on in Iraq.

Mr. Obama said, "I wasn't saying anything that I hadn't said before." If this is true than why did the media get so excite about what he said, if he said it before? This looked like a new policy that Obama was taking, that is why the media got excited.

First Obama blamed the McCain campaign. He said they primed the press and were blamed for the interpretation of his position. Then Obama blamed the Press, saying that he "was surprised by how finely calibrated every single word was measured." Mr. Obama, that is because words means something! Then Obama said, I am not somebody "unlike George Bush."

You are right Mr. Obama, you are not like George Bush. Mr. Bush has been ripped by the News Media for the last six years and he hasn't cried once. Mr Obama all you do is cry and blame everyone else for your mistakes.

Mr. Obama; If you can't take the heat, stay out of the Oval Office.
