Obama has zero integrity. He agrees to a debate forum and when things aren’t going his way he suddenly wants to change the rules to his advantage. We witnessed this during the second debate at least twice. So much so that McCain, someone who actually respects the rules he agrees to, had to interject himself and demand equal time.
But this is vintage Obama. He says one thing and when the political winds shift he abruptly changes his mind. This is the trademark of an opportunist despot, ever willing to use style to blind you from seeing his lack of substance. Saying whatever the people want to hear, pretending to be like one of us. When he clearly isn’t.

In what will probably go down in history as the most audacious statement ever, David Axelrod, chief strategist for Barack Obama, now claims that Obama had no idea who Ayers was when he started his political career at Ayers’ house.
OBAMA: NO KNOWLEDGE OF AYERS’ TERRORIST PAST
Barack Obama’s top political adviser said today Obama “didn’t know the history” of unrepentant bomber William Ayers’ activities in the violent Weather Underground movement when the candidate attended a political event at Ayers’ home in 1995.
“When he went he certainly didn’t know the history,” chief Obama strategist David Axelrod told CNN - arguing for the first time since the story surfaced early this year that Obama was unaware of Ayers’ past.

This morning I received an email from the Obama campaign. In it they lay out their plan to attack John McCain for his role in the Lincoln Savings and Loan collapse. At first I thought this a move of foolishness, but then I read a report in the Washington Post that only reemphasized the connection. Nothing like a willing media to distort history and fill your minds with innuendo. And lies.

The Associated Press has now officially jumped aboard the Obama bus. In a seemingly ridiculous proposition, they claim that Sarah Palin talking about Obama “palling around” with his terrorist buddy Bill Ayers is the equivalent to making a racist comment about Obama. Really.
Analysis: Palin’s words carry racial tinge
And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.
Racially tinged? Perhaps no one bothered to tell this misguided writer, Douglass K. Daniel, that Ayers is white. And what’s with the author’s first name? Does he really want all the world to know he is an ass?

The difference couldn’t have been any clearer.
On one hand you had a fact filled lecturer, well honed in Washington rhetoric, railing on about the failures of the past.
On the other, a down home, one of us, gifted communicator speaking directly to our hearts about the promise of the future.

Jodie Evans, fundraiser and personal friend of Barack Obama, met yesterday with the president of Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. The purpose of the meeting, according to Evans, was to promote peace. Right.
Obama Campaign Supporters Meet With Iranian President
Jodie Evans, who co-hosted Obama’s first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February 2007 just after Obama announced his candidacy and is a top fundraiser and donor to Obama’s campaign, led a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to “serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution” to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
Given Evans’ close relationship with the Obama campaign it seems likely this meeting was at the behest and approval of the Obama campaign.

It’s amazing to me why the United States feels they must police the world. Sticking our nose where it does not belong.
This IS NOT a rant on Iraq. While I am not sure we should be there, we are there and now we need to follow through. I am referring to everywhere else. I can understand why we would assist Georgia. Simply, to protect our interest in the oil pipeline.
President Bush said Wednesday he is skeptical that Moscow is honoring a cease-fire in neighboring Georgia, demanding that Russia end all military activities in the former Soviet republic and withdraw all its forces.
“The United States stands with the democratically elected government of Georgia and insists that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected,’’ Bush said sternly during brief remarks in the White House Rose Garden.
“To demonstrate our solidarity with the Georgian people,’’ the president announced that he was sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Paris to assist the West’s diplomatic efforts on the crisis, and then to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said later that a second supply-laden C-17 was planned Thursday and that an assessment team was to arrive soon in Georgia to determine other needs. The Pentagon also is preparing to send the hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, if needed, though it would take weeks to get to the region.
The administration also will review what military help is needed for Georgia’s now-shattered armed forces, Whitman said.
Where does Bush get off demanding that Russia does anything? The U.S. is recommending sanctions against Russia. Again, why? Let someone else be the focus of Russia’s anger. For once, it would be nice if we could play good cop/bad cop, and we were actually the good cop…

Well, Salim Hamdan’s sentence of which 5 1/2 years,(including five years and a month already served) since being charged at Guantanamo Bay, fell far short of the 30 years to life prosecutors wanted.
Hamdan thanked the jurors for the sentence and repeated his apology for having served bin Laden.
“I would like to apologize one more time to all the members and I would like to thank you for what you have done for me,” Hamdan told the panel of six U.S. military officers, who were hand-picked by the Pentagon for the first U.S. war crimes trial in a half-century.
Hamdan waved both hands as he left the courtroom, saying “Bye, bye” in English.
It will be interesting to to see if Hamdan will be held past his sentence or released this year…
Finally, some justice. It’s about time that we see some of the terrorists prosecuted! I hope this is the first of many to come. Salim Hamdan could be handed a life sentence. In my opinion, that’s too lenient. Give him the same fate as the people he conspired to kill.
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A jury of six military officers convicted Usama bin Laden’s former driver of supporting terrorism Wednesday in the first war crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay, but cleared him of conspiracy charges.
The Pentagon-selected jury deliberated for about eight hours over three days before returning the verdict against Salim Hamdan, who held his head in his hands and wept at the defense table after a Navy captain on the jury read the decision.
