Obama Tells Virginia Supporters of 'Righteous Wind At Our Backs'

Yep Obama, you do. And it's called - CBS, ABC, NBC.

What gets me is the free ride these guys are getting. Joe Biden declared a few weeks back, "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and ... said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"

Nice historical reference. Except when the market crashed in 1929, Hoover was president, and there was no television.

Can one imagine what the press would have done to Sarah Palin had she exhibited such ignorance of history. Or Dan Quayle?

Obama and Joe both get a pass because everybody likes them.

The problem is they are trained debaters who never had to make a tough decision in their lives. They have spent their entire lives coddled in the most exclusive boys clubs on the planet. Harvard and the US Congress.

I still can't believe the media didn't investigate and report on te cause of the financial meltdown. It's your US congress who for the last 2 years has been under the guidance of the democrats. I guess when you say something long enough and loud enough, the dullards start to believe it.

So this is how America ends, with a whimper, not a bang

"If its heroic in the battlefields of war, why not so in the battlefields of life?"
Because good soldiers carry their weight, are part of a team, and strive to be the best and most successful. In life there are those that choose not to carry their weight, look out only for themselves, and cry when they cannot reap the rewards of those that have.

Obama is going to loose! End of Story! All his communist friends at the Newsless Networks and Newsless Papers can not get We The People to vote for a Communist, and that is what Obama is! He is not a socialist, a black man being discriminated against, nor a Messiah being denied, HE IS A COMMUNIST!!

YEAH AND THE WIND STINKS!! Must be coming from the Communist mass graves! Come on people, hasn't history taught you a thing? Commuisum does not work. The wealth gets spread around alright! Into the political bosses pockets and the people become slaves.....When I look at Obama, I do not see a black man, I see a Communist!!

The right wing commentary will just get more and more ideological and indeed hysterical. It will continue to try to paint Obama what he is not. It will continue to try to destroy his character. That is their only hope. It is not going to work.

To those who spouting Socialist. Well, if Obama is a socialist, then McCain and Bush are bush-wacking Pirates, dressed in business suits. In league with those running some of the the large businesses these days with "golden parachutes", with special note of the oil companies, car companies and the investment banks. All of them crying "deregulation, deregulation", "self regulation, self regulation", "limits to liability", "limits to liability", etc....

The American people are starting to tune out the Republican Party. And rightly so. I think the reason is obvoius - America as a Nation trumps the Republican Party. Many are starting to see through the Republican facade. William Buckley Jr. gets it, Colin Powell really gets it, but the Party Leaders and demagogues do not - especially people like Rush, Bush, Bachmann and and de Rothschild. The Party is so imbued in its own Propaganda, in its own sense of Superiority and Self Righteousness, that it has indeed lost its way.

The Party has something of a Maoist sentiment of being the ruling Party and the Ruling Class. In spite of the dissent of most of the Nation. Real Republicans need to seize the levers of the Party, tear it down and rebuild from the grass roots up. Its ownership is too centered in selfish ideological hands and its philosophy has gone Piratical; way too right wing. I think it is way out of the mainstream. For so long it has been there, and held its ground by moving the mainstream and demonizing the left. No more.

I believe that Republicans do not have a lock on conservatism - indeed, Obama is a true pragmatist and he knows that you need to be fiscally conservative to be more socially liberal. Otherwise it does not add up. He is not really a liberal. Obama and the Democrats also understand you can't let the Foxes run the Hen Houses, and certainly not under self policing policies. And certainly not with limits on liability if they eat all the Hens and can't replace them when caught.

Republicans today do not understand the concept of collective. This is mostly because they are the ones that are benefiting from the Caveman's survival of the fittest ideas and the "ownership" society. They have the money and the power and they view and work politics to maintain it. They feel entitled and they pay lip service to social policies while generally demonizing them as being something unAmerican. When, indeed America needs to shift away from the extreme right wing to a more common sense approach.

Republican Party leaders and their rich backers want to keep giving the mainstream masses a wind up toy. A Bush, a Palin, a McCain or any Barbie or Ken will do. Just dress 'em up and get 'em talkin' just like ole "Joe Six Pack" and "Joe the Plumber" whoever that is. Its sure not you or me. Let them think their leaders are just like you. This has kept the masses happy, while Republicans and cronies eat the Hens.

Of course, when the Hens are noticed missing, it will be someone else' fault. Probably the Democrats somehow, it does not matter how, or someone in Iraq. No wait, it might be Putin, or possibly its Castro, no wait he's almost dead, okay then, Chavez ...... Or maybe that Muslim Arab Socialist African Malaysian Hawaiian and UnAmerican Obama...... And so the tomfoolery goes........

Liberals are not socialists. The latter is a word sullied by dictators and megalomaniacs. Theirs' is a false concept of socialism, used for selfish gain and to keep the masses poor and in chains. As McCain has said - strong backs, or the backbone of America is that American laborer. A back strong enough to carry the malarkey called Republican Conservatism or, I think, Piratical Conservative is more fitting.

There is no stronger Nation than one with a well run economic engine. One that is fairly and sensibly regulated. One that shares the wealth equitably. One that is built on morally sound incentive systems for its operators. One with a collective advancement and support system for all its members.

Republicans as much or more than any others will tell you that you don't send into battle men without protection and weapons. You don't send men that are unskilled and untrained in the use of weapons. You don't win battles by leaving your compatriots unprotected. And you don't leave the weak and wounded behind. Their rescue is the mark of heroes. If its heroic in the battlefields of war, why not so in the battlefields of life?

America is indeed headed for a brighter future with Obama than with McCain.

Most of the wind comes out of Obama's mouth.

Isn't interesting that all these "former Bush" folks are endorsing Obama? That begs the question, who is that more of an indictment of? I thought Obama didn't want 4 more years of Bush, yet he accepts these endorsements. More of the same=Obama.

Here in the real Virginia, the rest of us would call "a righteous wind at our back" a big fart.

I do smell a righteous Messiah wind of
socialism.

Dear Bloozer (or is it Boozer?),

I already make three times more than you do, and I will be voting for Obama.

The only thing worse that a "tax-and-spend" Democrat is a "spend-and-don't-tax" Republican. That's how we got $10 trillion in debt and a cratering economy. Folks, we've been living beyond our means and must either cut services and entitlements way back or increase revenues. McPain can't do either.

Dear Barack-
I'm a small business person who should reach that $250K in income in the next couple of years (God and the free market willing) I can't vote for you because you will punish me for working hard to attain my goals. It sucks that the higher I climb, the more you'll take and give to someone who has no desire to get out and work hard. Instead, why not support religious organizations who operate on the tenant of doing unto others. Charity and care for the poor is God's work, not the government's.

The Democrat (Obama) tax plan, as written, will not raise taxes rates on the middle class. However, the Dems are determined to to rescind the evil Bush temporary tax relief measures. Net effect is the middle class will pay more taxes. It's a manipulation of facts and words. They (Dems) probably won't continue to provide annual legislative relief for the alternative minimum tax requirement either. That's a lot of additional tax revenue to spread around to those who really need the money. In short, if you are happy with what has been done, or not done, by the Democratically controlled Congress for the past several years, you will probably be very happy with Obama in the White House. The Dems in Congress sure will. They'll control him every step of the way.

In 2002, the Obamas earned $226,300. Adjusted for inflation, that's more than a quarter of a million 2008 dollars--an income so great it's worthy of a tax increase, according to Obama.

Yet in 2002, Obama felt so poor that he contributed less than 1/2 of 1% of his income to charity.

A righteous wind? Please.

Wow so many negative comments. Some made up incidents, abusive langage, all the Republican way. I am praying for God's will to be done too. I think he will bless us with someone who we need for this terrible time we face. God bless us all and I pray for Obama and his family as he flies to see his very gravely ill grandmother.

I'm voting against the Communist.

pefros... this perfectly illustrates how much you want to believe the lie. In the same breath that he says all of us under $250K will not see our taxes raised a dime, he states that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts.

I am a family of 3 making about $52K, if all of my bonuses are made. I got a tax cut with Bush. If Obama repeals those cuts, or allows congress to let them expire, MY TAXES WILL GO UP MORE THAN A DIME!!!! How can you not understand this?????

NEW YORK — Scott McClellan, President Bush's former press secretary, says he is backing Barack Obama for president.

McClellan made the endorsement during a taping of Comedian D.L. Hughley's new show that is premiering on CNN this weekend. The former Bush administration official said he wanted to support the candidate that has the best chance for changing the way Washington works and getting things done.

He's the second former Bush administration figure this week to publicly back Obama, following former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

“If you make less than a quarter-million dollars a year — which includes 98 percent of all small business owners — you won’t see your taxes increase one single dime. Not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes. Nothing. That is my commitment to you.” - Barack Obama 23 Oct 08 (Indiana)

Stop blogging folks....get on your knees and pray, pray hard for a miracle. 12 to pray, you can do it. God can do it. Probably our only hope. If we care enough to pray God will care enough to answer us.
