Obama’s Victory Speech

Filed Under Donkeys (D), Elephants (R), America, Democracy |

Admit it. He makes the best and most uplifting speeches. Crap, I’m almost in tears.

When it comes to the Elephants I’ve been saying for a year now that I support John McCain. As for the Donkeys, it’s either Hillary or Obama. I’m sort of undecided but I gotta say I’m leaning more towards Mr. Hope. And yeah I pretty much agree with Sandmonkey.

As for now… Go Obama! :)

    Obama has been described as one of ten people who could change the world.

    I’m afraid that could be true.

    If he withdraws from Iraq (what the left call “ending the war”, as if the terrorists don’t murder people when no Americans are around), he might just change the world _back_ to what it became when the US retreated from Vietnam.

    Genocide and civil war, like in Sudan, will be more common (again) and the media won’t tell us regularly about all the victims of war because there will too damn many. The left will not be able to engage in their funny hobby of counting individual deaths because there will hardly be any “individual” deaths. Instead villages will vanish.

    Libya will rearm (possibly with French help), the Baathists will retake Iraq (if we are lucky), Syria will feel free to attack Lebanon and Israel at will and more make those attacks more obvious, and the Arab dictators will tell each other what wonderful people they are, regardless of the number of their victims.

    George Bush did change the world. But the world doesn’t want to be changed.

    Obama belongs to a black supremacist church. I can’t see how you can endorse him, given this little piece of information: after all, I guess you wouldn’t endorse a KKK member, so why a black supremacist?

    And what’s wrong with Rudy? The man seems perfect - experienced, has tremendous experience solving Herculean problems, experience turning a tottering economy of millions of people into a stable, prosperous economy of millions of people; he is liberal in personal matters. against large governments, has tremendous international experience (his city houses the UN, for Gods’sake, and is full of extremely diverse people), is very sane and hawkish in his foreign policy… what’s there not to like about him?

  3. Andrew Brehm on January 4th, 2008 2:47 pm

    Raccoon’s point.

  4. Andrew Brehm on January 4th, 2008 2:50 pm

    Also, his church belongs to that weird group of Christians who seem to believe that the Jew should turn the other cheek.

  5. Andrew Brehm on January 4th, 2008 4:52 pm

    Obama is also a liar.

    He says he will _end_ the Iraq war.

    Unless he is so stupid that he actually believes that an American withdrawal will somehow stop the fighting in a country that has been at war with other countries and itself for several decades before the first American troops entered it, he will know that he cannot “end” the war.

    Somebody should ask him how he proposes to “end” the Iraq war.

    Libya will rearm (possibly with French help

    surprising ?

    forgot Blair’s visit first, and that the Americans gave the OK, go on with Kadhafi , the Germans were already in the place before the Frenchs ;

    Sarkosy made available the Lybia show (as indicated by Bush), cause Arab politic goes through french dipolomaty, that can’t exploit the american image

    I am going to search how much the english market is exchanging with Lybia though, just for the fun :lol:

  7. Nomad on January 4th, 2008 5:36 pm

    To whom it may concern :

    Blair’s visit to Kadhafi

    BP, the big deal

  8. Dalu on January 4th, 2008 6:10 pm

    I have a crush on him.

  9. Rara Avis on January 4th, 2008 9:28 pm

    the US is not ready for a female president yet, let alone a black one

  10. Andrew Brehm on January 4th, 2008 10:06 pm

    “the US is not ready for a female president yet, let alone a black one”

    Not if it has voters that would vote for a candidate because she is a woman or black.

  11. Not Your Mama on January 5th, 2008 2:07 am

    Something that has cracked me up for the longest time I’ve been following your blog off and on…..if you were American you’d be a democrat and most of your regular commentators are not even remotely like you.

    Somehow or other you end up “getting it”. Gogogo Obama.

  12. Andrew Brehm on January 5th, 2008 3:42 am

    I supported Bill Clinton and would have voted for Al Gore.

    It was John Kerry who frightened me off the Democrats.

    I would probably usually vote Democrat, except when someone like Giuliani or Bloomberg runs as a Republican or when someone like John Kerry runs as a Democrat.

    The Democrats seem to be in Moonbats mode still and simply do not even address people like me.

    I usually support their policies, but they have lately chosen to focus exactly on something I consider immoral: abandoning the Iraqis.

    (I am also becoming more conservative as I grow older, but most Democrats seem to be quite conservative too.)

    Andrew why the change you propose doesnt include the change in the palestinian genocide by Israel, and then again Iraq was never a source of terror it had no links to Alqaeda what so ever

  14. The Raccoon on January 5th, 2008 2:08 pm

    Max -

    Probably for the same reason it doesn’t include mandatory hospitalization for you and others like you.

  15. Andrew Brehm on January 5th, 2008 5:50 pm

    “Andrew why the change you propose doesnt include the change in the palestinian genocide by Israel, and then again Iraq was never a source of terror it had no links to Alqaeda what so ever”

    What “Palestinian genocide”? Israel stopped the attempted genocide and survived. Maybe you mean the German genocide? Or what genocide are you talking about?

    Iraq was never a source of terror? Ask the Kuwaitis, Kurds, and Israelis about that. Maybe Iraq was never a source of terror AGAINST YOU, but that can hardly mean that it wasn’t a source of terror as such, or can it?

    Al Qaeda are not the only terrorist group. Saddam did support the PLO. That’s enough for me.

  16. Andrew Brehm on January 5th, 2008 5:54 pm

    The Palestinian genocide:

    ‘Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.’
    – Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, 1944, on Radio Berlin)

    But they failed. The people of Israel survived.

    Hence, the myth of the “Palestinian genocide” was born.

    Care to apologise for the attempted genocide, if you are an Arab? Want to accuse the victims? It’s your choice.

    Was it right for the Arabs to heed his call?

    Can you call it a genocide if it failed?

    Andrew why the change you propose doesnt include the change in the palestinian genocide by Israel, and then again Iraq was never a source of terror it had no links to Alqaeda what so ever

    we are sure genociding palestinians on a scale not seen even during the ww2 holocaust given that gaza has become the most overpopulated place in the world … the poor palis are sitting on the shoulders of each other for the lack of space … the jews and their genocides are sure to be blamed for this

  18. Andrew Brehm on January 5th, 2008 11:13 pm

    It’s a clever excuse, isn’t it?

    The Arabs try to murder all the Jews, and when that fails, they accuse Israel of genocide.

    How can these people live with themselves?

  19. Howie on January 5th, 2008 11:16 pm

    I’m a long time Democrat and voted that way since 1970…100%.

    I did finally vote for Arnold here in California…mostly because he is just kind of funny to watch…and a moderate.

    This presidential election…there is no democrat I would vote for…Wouldn’t vote for HC even if we have the same initials…don’t know much about Kerry or Obama…except Obama seems to have just about 0 in the way of experience.

    I would lean on Gulianni who also appears to be pretty moderate despite his Republican credentials. But my favorite is the ex POW. He seems to be the most independent, won’t follow the party line thinker of the whole group. I consider myself an independent and like people who think more individually and not in lock step with their party.

  20. JMac on January 6th, 2008 1:57 am

    Go Obama! I was very excited that he won. One of the things that impressed me w/Obama, was that he didn’t vote for the war in the first place. He he had the courage to question even though most others were not. Hillary would never take responsibility for her vote, which to me, speaks volumes. John Edwards took full responsibility for his yes, he admitted he was wrong. My 2 cents.

  21. Howie on January 6th, 2008 2:20 am

    Max…

    Dude…really…tell me about the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people…I really want to understand this…because I hear it all the time…

    I have dozens of friends and family who have served in the IDF…though some have killed Egyptians and Syrians during wars…I don’t know ONE not ONE Israeli…that has killed a Palestinian…Of course I know this happens…but if there was a genocide…wouldn’t I know at least one?

    On the other hand…I personally know people like Ora Cohen who I have visited in Jerusalem…Her entire family, husband and 5 young children, were in the #1 bus when a piece of shit blew himself. All had their ears blown out and had various levels of damage..including the baby that had a good piece of her face blown up…

    So…indeed there is a type of war going on…But you seen this enormous hypocrasy…the Arabs always talk about how incredibly powerful the Israeli army is and all these tons of weapons we get from the USA…well…with ALL that might…and our murderous nature…could we not have killed a few more Palestinians. The Pals themselves will tell you that there population is growing at an enormous rate…much faster than the Jewish population…

    So you have to explain this to me Max…I know the Arabs invented algebra…so maybe you have a math formula that I am not aware of because this “genocide” thing has absolutely no factual or logical support that I am aware of…

    Raccoon…you smoke a lot of weed…perhaps when you are super fucked up one night…you can reach Max’s sphere of thinking and help me with this?

  22. JMac on January 6th, 2008 2:20 am

    Um, before I get slammed let me point out my big mistake: Obama wasn’t a senator during the war vote…so OK, can’t give him credit for that after all. He was public about his opposition at that time though, but who knows how he would’ve voted if he had been in office–”Five years ago, as his future presidential primary opponents were voting to give President Bush the authority to go to war in Iraq, then-State Senator Barack Obama expressed his opposition in a speech in Chicago.

    “I don’t oppose all wars…What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war,” said Obama on Oct. 2, 2002.

    so there we have it. hmmmm….

  23. Andrew Brehm on January 6th, 2008 2:34 am

    ““I don’t oppose all wars…What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war,” said Obama on Oct. 2, 2002.”

    Yes, but he doesn’t oppose abandoning people. And he doesn’t oppose a war between Sunnis and Shiites.

  24. Andrew Brehm on January 6th, 2008 2:40 am

    “So you have to explain this to me Max”

    He won’t explain anything. That’s not how anti-Semitism works. He KNOWS there was a “Palestinian genocide” because Israel is evil. And Israel evil because it committed the “Palestinian genocide”. That’s how it works.

    The fact that the Arab population of “Palestine” has been growing at a much higher rate than the Jewish population (and Arab populations of other regions) is a minor detail that has nothing to do with the greater truth.

  25. Drima on January 6th, 2008 11:40 am

    Raccoon, about Obama’s black supremacist church, honestly I’m not buying… too many smear tactics being used on him…

    see this…

    as for Rudy, I’ll have a detailed post about my opinions of the candidates.
