SMEAR #2. Barack Obama still believes in Eliot Spitzer's innocence.There are 9 more of which #1 is my favorite, although I do wonder about who Barry and Father Pfleger saw after drinking shots of Windex (#7).
TRUTH: Obama simply does not believe engaging a prostitute is cheating so long as "you don't look her in the eye."
Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to refer, because they have no doubt -- contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given.
As the Jerusalem Post reports, "Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.
...
In a remarkable denial issued last November that still stands on the official campaign website, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs issued a statement explaining that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."
Apparently Malik Obama, himself a Muslim, had not read the press release.
Obama was enrolled at his primary schools in Indonesia as a Muslim; he attended the mosque during that period; his friends from that time testify that he was a devout Muslim boy. A former teacher at one of these schools, Tine Hahiyary, remembers a young Obama who was quite religious and actively took part in "mengaji" classes which teach how to read the Koran in Arabic.One has to wonder why this is such a big deal for Barry - I mean it's very little compared with the antisemites he used to schmooze with down at Trinity United Church where he was picking up the "audacity of hope" hustle. One reason may well be the example of his cousin, the thuggish Raila Odinga:
Then there is also Obama's troubling support for the Kenyan opposition leader -- and his cousin -- Raila Odinga, the leader of the violent uprising a few months ago against the newly elected Kenyan government and who signed a memorandum of understanding with Kenyan Muslims to turn Kenya into an Islamic state governed by sharia law. At the time, the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Odinga
comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law for all Kenyans.As the Atlas Shrugs site reported, Obama actually went to Kenya in 2006 and spoke at rallies in support of Odinga, causing the Kenyan government to denounce him as "Raila's stooge". Why was Obama supporting such a person? Why has no-one bothered to find out?
Let's see, Raila Odinga is East German educated, named his first son after Fidel Castro, and while he isn't a Muslim either, when his left wing party couldn't gain power in Kenya on its own he signed the deal with Muslim extremists. When he still didn't win, Odinga's followers went on a ethnic cleansing rein of terror until he was granted a role in the government.
Gee, I wonder why Barry doesn't want to talk about that? Expect old Malik to be thrown under the bus shortly and I wonder when we'll see Raila over here to campaign for the Obamessiah and give him a few tips?
People can help slow global warming with minor lifestyle changes such as using wind-up alarm clocks, taking direct flights and replacing aged appliances, a United Nations study found.Using a spring-driven clock instead of an electric prevents 48 grams (1.7 ounces) of carbon-dioxide emissions daily, while air-drying clothes saves 2.3 kilograms (5.1 pounds) daily, the Nairobi-based UN Environment Program said today in an e-mailed statement. Jogging in the park rather than on a treadmill at a gym can cut 1 kilogram of carbon dioxide, or CO2, the main pollutant blamed for global warming.
People living in wealthy countries emit more than 10 metric tons (11 tons) of CO2 each per year, a figure that must drop to 2 metric tons by 2050 to slow the rate of temperature increases, according to the German environment ministry. About half of an individual's carbon output can be eliminated with ``little or no change in comfort,'' the UNEP said.
I see there's no word on battery powered dildos which are so vital to the UN lifestyle. Personally, I've got my own plan to do my part on Carbon Belch Day:
On June 12, we’re calling on people around the globe to do their part to save the planet by unleashing a healthy Carbon Belch.
There’s so much you can do to increase your carbon footprint on Carbon Belch Day -- mow your lawn, go for a drive, gather neighbors for a barbecue (calculate your carbon belch here). In fact, there’s something for everyone. It’s never been so easy to do your part.
Barack Obama finally decided that his membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ was too much of a political liability and today he tossed them under the bus:
At a news conference in Aberdeen, S.D., after the news emerged on the blog of a black journalist in Chicago, Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, had notified the church in a letter Friday that they “were withdrawing as members of Trinity,” in part because of “a cultural and a stylistic gap.”
That's Obama speak for "they're spoiling my con job by letting everyone see that they're freaking nuts." Actually we only have evidence that the leaders of Trinity United are racist loons, but if the congregation doesn't share the lunacy, they still sat there and listened to it Sunday after Sunday. Kind of like Barack Obama.
Hmm, if Barack is cleaning house of moonbat associates who can't keep their mouths shut, how long before Michelle goes under the bus?
Billions of pounds are being wasted in paying industries in developing countries to reduce climate change emissions, according to two analyses of the UN's carbon offsetting programme.
Leading academics and watchdog groups allege that the UN's main offset fund is being routinely abused by chemical, wind, gas and hydro companies who are claiming emission reduction credits for projects that should not qualify. The result is that no genuine pollution cuts are being made, undermining assurances by the UK government and others that carbon markets are dramatically reducing greenhouse gases, the researchers say.
The criticism centres on the UN's clean development mechanism (CDM), an international system established by the Kyoto process that allows rich countries to meet emissions targets by funding clean energy projects in developing nations.
Actually it's kind of funny. The "rich" countries get scammed twice: once by the global warming foolishness and again by UN-sponsored grifters.
The UN says they are carefully checking every CDM project and there sure are heap big emissions cuts. Of course, they checked every deal in the Iraq Oil-for-Food program and what they mostly checked was how much money they could stash in their personal bank accounts.A working paper from two senior Stanford University academics examined more than 3,000 projects applying for or already granted up to $10bn of credits from the UN's CDM funds over the next four years, and concluded that the majority should not be considered for assistance. "They would be built anyway," says David Victor, law professor at the Californian university. "It looks like between one and two thirds of all the total CDM offsets do not represent actual emission cuts."
"Traders are finding ways of gaining credits that they would never have had before. You will never know accurately, but rich countries are clearly overpaying by a massive amount," said Victor.

...
A separate study published this week by US watchdog group International Rivers argues that nearly three quarters of all registered CDM projects were complete at the time of approval, suggesting that CDM money was not needed to finance them.
Translation: public disclosure at the UN can consist of signing a statement in which the only information imparted to the public is that you refuse to disclose anything except… your refusal to disclose.
...
For more detail, Matthew Russell Lee of Inner-City Press has been combing through and among many intriguing discoveries makes the excellent observation that among the 190 UN senior officials urged by Ban to fling themselves under the 10-watt glare of public disclosure described above, less than half were even as forthcoming as, say, Iqbal Riza. They wouldn’t even put their names on the site — or, as Matthew neatly put it, they have “not even consented to disclose their decision to maintain confidentiality.” This group includes — to name just a sampling — UN poverty guru and Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Sachs; Ban’s special envoy for Burma, Ibrahim Gambari; and UN Controller Warren Sach.Lest we forget, the purpose of this disclosure exercise, as Ban’s spokesperson announced last week, is to show that UN staff members “understand the importance” of assuring the rest of us “that in the discharge of their official duties and responsibilities, UN staff members will not be influenced by any consideration associated with his/her private interests.”
Sure - we believe ya!
There's lot's more wrong with the UN Millenium Declaration including banning "small arms and light weapons" and ratifying the International Criminal Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty) among others and thereby giving them the force of law in the USA, but the biggest problem has to be that it violates Rule No. 1: Never let the United Nations handle money. However, there actually may now be room for another rule: Never let Barack Obama decide the foreign policy of the United States.
What kind of man supports Barack Obama? The kind of man who goes on TV in an Arab country ruled by a hostile authoritarian regime and participates in propaganda that seems designed to inflame anti-American sentiment.
And in particular by accusing his army comrades of crimes he never witnessed.
Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along . . . We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.and Barack Obama gets all huffy. One of the commenters at the latter link provided the picture and another observes that maybe Barack will sue for "definition of character".
