I wanted to join military when I was FIVE years old….. ABC ..talk about Obama's room mate siddique when he was in Columbia and those LOST years………

UMMM, OKKKK!!
Sure, you did. Because any cursory review of your history supports that. His grandfather testified UNDER OATH that he was a Communist, and they moved to Seattle just so Obama's mother could attend a left wing high school, that taught classes about anarchy...
Not to mention Obama's mentor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist also. (who bragged in his memoir about a 13 year old he and his wife seduced, that Frank)
If you're in effect raised by Communists, joining the military is the LAST thing you want to do, unless you're lying in full pander mode trying to save your own butt in an election.

Smear? If the truth is a smear, then I guess I'm smearing.

SARAH PALIN IS NOT ON TRAINING WHEELS WE CAN BELIEVE IN

"There's a lot of complaining that the McCain campaign won't allow anyone to interview Sarah Palin. And for the major news outlets that would be in line for such an interview there's a logic to keeping up the drumbeat. But McCain campaign manager Rick Davis is right: It's their campaign to run. They can do it how they want. Everyone else should just shut up, stop complaining and call the reality for what it is.

Davis says Palin won't give any interviews until she feels "comfortable" giving one. And this morning he added that she wouldn't give any "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference."

Sarah Palin could be the President of the United States in four and a half months. We tend to think of this as an abstraction; but it's true. And yet today she's so unprepared and knows so little about the challenges and tasks facing the country that she can't even give a softball interview.

That's really all we need to know. Yes, she's off being prepped at some undisclosed location. And I've little doubt that by the time her debate rolls around she'll be sufficiently pumped full of slogans and bromides to make a show of it. But now, this moment, is the one that tells us all we need to know.

As is so often the case, Palin is the incarnation of the Republican slurs. The darling of the hard-right; she gives a stem-winding speeches. She pushes all their buttons. But she's such a lightweight, they can't risk letting her answer a few questions. Not even on Fox. They know she's not ready and probably never will be. But they think the politics might work for them."

--Josh Marshall

We all had to sign up for Selective Service you bofo! That's not "considering to join the military." Obama is clearly losing it. Why oh why did we not pick Hillary as our nominee?

Hahahahaha...LOL. This guy is about to be president?

You see, the media has been successful to portray that W Bush is dumb guy despite the fact that he went to Yale and Harvard Business School. And as it turned out, his grades were better than those of Al Gore and John Kerry. And now the liberal democrats and their faithful media have been successful to portray that Obama is a genius despite his very poor direct and unscripted communication skills. And he does not even have any publications under his name except his two autobios. What a megalomania guy.

Obama's candidacy is a fraud.

i suppose we all consider it to some degree or another. I considered it for a short period after high school. Never too seriously, but i considered it nonetheless.
I think George was reading an email from someone who asked if Obama ever considered it, or why he never considered it. It was kind of a condescending question...like if you don't serve you're not worthy of being an american. Typical right wing uber/psuedo patriot rantings.

LMAO!

It sounded soooooooo cheap!

Well, that was not above his pay grade, anyway. He is always capable of lying.

hippie_chucker,

You're identifier is "hippie_chucker?" I think I just tuned out.

Have a nice Sunday.

Sarah Palin is spending time with her oldest son, Track, this weekend since he will be leaving for duty in Itaq next week. I don't blame her for that because I spent a lot of time with my son before both his tours there. He is there as we speak.

Semper Fi

Obama got C in political science whwn he was in Columbia.... They don't want to talk about his Lost years.

=======================================
Hey, EHHHHHcho. How about sticking with the topic of this thread. It's about Obammy DODGING the military, remember.

Ok, since you are obsessed with Sarah Palin, let's roll.

Think back, try, back 3, 4, 5 months ago. Sarah was running a State government, giving birth, fighting state corruption, and balancing a budget. No one could dream she would be chosen for the 2nd most important job in the free world. Why the hell should she care what went on in the Oral Office?

So now, you want her to jump in and face the Pr!ck Noberman, have Matthews slobber all over her, and each not give her a chance to answer their questions before they drum her off the stage. Yes, I can see that you WOULD like that.

But it don't work that way. She will get some OJT (that stands for On the Job Training for you Obammabots) before she has to go into battle with liberal whackos.

So, give her just a little leeway. Just pretend that she is a "community organizer".

Palin - 08

Obama is a serial liar.

In this interview, Obama says he is in favor of school vouchers and a bigger military. I have to hand it to Barrry...he said it without giggling.

from the article: "I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue,"

Personally, I graduated in 1983 and DID enlist in the military.

Leadership from the community organization specialist?

lol. Is he really that nervous about where this election is going?!

Clinton supporter,

Change your name to "Obama hater" or "Republican," it would be more honest. Or does honesty matter to you?

BTW - If you were able to dig up all this information, what makes you think the rest of us can't? Whose intelligence are you disregarding? The people you're trying to convince? Huh.

Maybe we should ask about your grades.

Why the preferential treatment for Sarah? If she is as good as they say she is, she can handle it all! WOW, aren't you all being protective one who needs to be able to handle the heat.

I would like to know the answer to this question - Did Obama write about considering military service in either one of his 2 memoirs/books?

If the answer is no, I am very suspect of his claim in Sept. 2008.

If he had joined he might have been part of the illegal wars that the u.s military were involved in.

The wars in Nicaragua, Managua, and Guatemala. The ones where over 500,000 were killed. The wars where we supplied rebels illegally with money we got from supplying arms to IRAN.

Obama: Mister panderer. There's nothing he won't say!

2 of our most respected Presidents in times of war were Lincoln and FDR. Neither one served in the military.

Let's not be sexist. Did Sarah "consider" joining the military?

Let's not be sexist. Let's talk about Sarah and her military aspirations.

mary

It's not about serving or not serving.

It's about Obama and his inability to find truth.

No young_voter, the republicans are serial liars. Looks like you're a republican, oops, same size shoes, eh?!

Is there a reason that we cannot address Sarah Palin's military service?

oh rodney, do you really want to talk about who has the inability to find truth? Do you really want to talk about how many lies were introduced from the republicans?

Lets all hope that the Alaska Crab Queen can find another administrator to help her do her job. When it comes to her "experience" you all HAVE to lie because to tell the truth would prove she's not qualified to run this country.

It's the economy, stupid. Anything else, like joining the military, is just a distraction.

He’s never mentioned it before, not even in two autobiographies, but Barack Obama has suddenly remembered that he considered joining the military.

Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.

“You know, I actually did,” Obama said. “I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.

“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

UPDATE at 9/7/08 9:12:26 am:

Just one problem with Obama’s little story.

Registration for selective service was not reinstated until 1980.

On March 25, 1975, Pres. Gerald Ford signed Proclamation 4360, Terminating Registration Procedures Under Military Selective Service Act, eliminating the registration requirement for all 18-25 year old male citizens. Then on July 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed Proclamation 4771, Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act, retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18-26 year old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960. Only men born between March 29, 1957, and December 31, 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration. The first registrations after Proclamation 4771 took place on Monday, July 21, 1980, for those men born in January, February and March 1960 at U.S. Post Offices.

We would all love to see Obama's transcripts from Columbia. Why can't we see them???

We would also like to see his senatorial records, his medical HISTORY, ALL of his educational records and his ever-elusive birth certificate.

Yeah, Barry, we know you may have CONSIDERED the military, but we all know you lack the well, whatever, to ever do anything other than promote yourself for your OWN benefit.

PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.”

- Susan B. Anthony

That statement was just so much more political pandering and probably lies. His whole life has been about his self-centered need for attention, not courage or service.

I still have yet to see any of these conservatives come to the rescue of Barbie when it comes to her education, forget about her non-military service.

She calls anyone with an education an elitist. Again, forget the military service. 6 yrs to get a 4 yr degree? In journalism to boot. All hail our intelligent super power lol The world is sitting back laughing at just how stupid the US is, with this farce of a vp pick. McCain's slogan should really say Me and Party First. He'd rather lose a country to win an election.

Obama is THE pick of the Iranian government and Hezbullah. They are cheering him on. Enough said!

lol actually T.M. they are cheering on the oh so intelligent hockeymom.

Obama is such a pandering jerk.

Oh i considered joing the military.

Well you didnt so stop your bs tactics.

This is why McCain will win!!!!

First Obama said he signed up for the Selective Service--yes, everyone does but some how he makes it sound like he is special. Obama made a mistake and said during the interview "my Muslin faith" and Stephanopolous had to correct him and say "your Christian faith" ---sort of interetsing. When asked the question about the "results" of the tax cuts, Obama didn't touch that question if they would create jobs or eliminate them....Why doesn't George Stepanopulous run for office...he is very sharp and can think....Obama doesn't listen to the questions, he repeats the same answers like he has been programmed. And, no one "monks" his 2 years experience as a "community organizer". They do good work in communities...everyone is questioning the level of work and expertise needed to be President. Can you put a elementary school teacher (who does excellent work in our communities) to teach a college course? I am very disappointed in Obama's answers and will not vote for him now. No need for the debates---he cannot think well or coordinate his thoughts.

As far as I know, efforts to confirm his registration have been unsuccessful, and Sen. Obama has failed thus far to offer proof of registration, or authorize this information to the general public. It is in the public’s interest to know whether a potential president followed the law during his lifetime.

However, Obama can lay this issue to rest immediately by providing proof of his Selective Service registration, which is required to serve in the Executive Branch. The President of the United States of America is the head of the Executive Branch of government.

Hmmmmm, don’t tell me, I already know – any “proof” is irretrievably lost.

PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.”

'Obama is a serial liar.' --- 'Change your name to "Obama hater" or "Republican," it would be more honest. Or does honesty matter to you?'
Doesn't this say it all?? This is exactly why Obamajoey WILL be elected. The proof happens to have been repeated several times in this country. Just look at the Clintoon elections, the DC mayoral, terrible Teddy K. (pre and post Chappaquiddick),and on and on... The more these candidates lie and then tell us to believe them, because we look good or can speak well, the more the idiot public elects them. We are our own worst enemy when it comes to our elected officials.
So, more power to Obamajoey --- to the biggest liars, go the spoils (this countries wealth and offices).

Shame on you Obama, are you an American man??

Do we want this kid of person as commander-in-chief, to command our soldiers??????????????????????????????

If Obama registered, he'd have a draft card. He probably put that with his birth certificate.

Serial liar - YES.
Pathological liar - YES!

Sarah Palin just mislead by saying that she 'put the luxury jet on eBay' knowing well that people are not going to see it differently from 'sold it on eBay' - that's the argument campaign used to defend her!

Now the mask is off! McCain said that the part he loved most in Palin's speech was that she 'sold the jey on eBay' - No cover-ups possible..liars are out in the open! Let us wait and see what campaign says for this? Or that Palin mislead John as well?

Before anyone dismisses the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the Alaska National Guard consider this. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter-terrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's.

She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counter-terrorism plans. Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska 's proximity to Russia , she may have security clearances we don't even know about.

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.

She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Palin is in charge of the National Guard in Alaska. She has leadership skills in the military. It pays to read: Greta Van Susteren went and got the facts about Governor Palin's performance as head of Alaska's National Guard from Major General Craig E. Campbell." You can check out the interview for yourself.

"If Obama registered, he'd have a draft card. He probably put that with his birth certificate."

Yes, being a serial liar is within Senator Obama's "pay grade".

People, wake up and look carefully before you cast your vote!

McCain 08!

Hillary 2012!

It is not too late Obama, you can join the military right now. I will see you in Iraq. Remember to bring your friend with you, Senator Bi N-L-A den.

McCain's "Little Eskimo" will come on the talk shows when she's ready. Which will probably be never.

Depends on which military Obama wanted to join. Not the USA.

He already belonged to the African Muslim God Dmn America military of Chicago, Farrakhan, his native country Kynia madrassa, and his followers who throw the American flag in the garbage.

America, no one has done more for you than John McCain, in blood and flesh. A real American Hero including his grandfather and father.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?

Oops. There wasn't selective service until 1980. What a idiot!

Go ahead we could use you and the rest of your slimy, scumbag colleagues who send other people's children off to fight. And when your kid stumbles into the theater he/she is safely tucked away from the combat zone, and chaperoned like Al Gore. Join the fight Barack! Join the fight McCain, you wanna "follow bin Laden into the gates of hell", I'll give you my weapon and a canteen. March on Johnny boy! Nah, you get more money and attention SAYIING you'll catch him rather than put special forces and the CIA on his butt until we catch and kill 'em. I guess that makes bin Laden your "useful idiot" to parrot out in some phony tape every time your party needs a couple of points in the approval rating or to deflect the flak from the latest scandal of the week. You won't catch bin Laden, but your sure as hell get alot of power chasing after the hologram that is the bin Laden/al Quaeda farce inspired "War on Terror." I guess some CIA assets never stop in their usefulness, do they John/Barack? Oh and thank your son for his imploding of that bank in Arizona. I'm sure somewhere you and your buddy Frank Keating are having a big laugh over that bilking of the taxpayers again. Have a night of fun with Jeanne Palfrey's girls on me!

====================================
Barryio didn't have to join the military.

He was DODGING SNIPER FIRE IN CHICAGO back then.

His friend Bill Aires took care of all those snipers, though.

Palin 08

30 days from now Obama will be talking like Hillary-McCain. Yes he would have copied policy of Hillary & McCain.

He did not say which military May be he was talking about Osama's militry

This is as believable as him sitting in that three ring circus of a church he attended for 20 years and not hearing Rev. Wright spew his hate and fury.

And can someone tell me why he didn't have the balls to put Hillary on the ticket as VP despite her 18 million votes?

Ugh -

So which McCain do you want to vote for:

There was the one who was for RoeVWade (circa 2000) and the one who is against Roe (circa 2008)

There is the one who is against the bush tax cute (circa 2002) and the one who is for them (circa 2008)

There is the one who said the invasion of Iraq would be easy (2003) and the one who said that he knew it would never be easy (2008)

There is the one who was for immigration reform (2003) and the one who would vote against the bill that he himself wrote (2008).

Sure, McCain was once a maverick Republican, but he isn't anymore -- he's turned into George Bush. And for those of you who think you are getting one of them or the other, you had better think again... once he gets in office, which one do you think he'll be?

McCain holds to his principles -- and his principle is that he will take any position that the republican party tells him to take.

ch -

THAT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!!

You know Michelle has his peanuts hidden away in a LockBox! :)

PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Oh yeah, and he flopped his position on torture. He started by saying it was a "principled stand" against using extreme interrogation techniques. Then he changed his mind on this too. Since he felt so strong about this issue, but the republican base made him switch, I really wonder if he feels like the puppet he is.

I served on a local selective service board in the early 80s. I honestly can't remember if prior to that, if young men were required to register (1976 -1980). Anyone know for sure?

Why the preferential treatment for Sarah? If she is as good as they say she is, she can handle it all! WOW, aren't you all being protective one who needs to be able to handle the heat.

-------------------------------
She and their handlers are emulating Obuma... they are trying to hide the fact that she was merely a community organizer.
The truth will come out!

Did anyone notice that Obama talked about attacks on his "Muslim Faith"? Then Stepn had to correct him and said; "But you're Christian." Obama clarified, but man WHAT A MISTAKE! For the record, I am not religious, but I have no problem with any religion. We all know there are extremists in anything. To paraphrase the late Joseph Campbell, religion is a need of humans, and if it serves to provide a moral compass; as long as it is not used to oppress people, it is all good. Nevertheless, WHAT A MISTAKE TO MAKE RIGHT NOW. Getting thrown off balance huh Obama?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
scarebaby, your rant is easy to explain.

John McCain can support an issue until the situation changes. Like he was against additional drilling UNTIL gas hit $400 a gallon. So now we need to drill and he got the message.

As for Bush, I hope like hell he is more like Bush. Bush has done a super job, especially on the economy.

Too bad the democrats in congress won't do THEIR jobs.

Palin 08

Mr. Obama would not have had the choice to go into the military service in 1979. His admitted drug use would have disqualified him. Perhaps he could have lied on his application.

He also wanted to be a fireman and an astronaut. Guys that qualifies most of us to be president too....

Larry you are as brain dead as any Republican I have read the post of. Not to mention quite the racist also.

Wow!
No wonder BHO is doing all these talk shows. Just found out: McCain-Palin ahead by 4% in Zogby and ahead by 3% in Gallup.
No wonder he has a small army of lawyers up there in Alaska right now digging up serious dirt, (they hope), on Gov. Palin.
Let's see, 30 lawyers up there for a week would cost around $1.5 million. That's serious money for investigating someone who's not even your direct opponent.
I wonder if the Obamabots realize where all their contributions are going? Well, we where some of it is going. Mustn't forget the $6 million Greek temple.
Word of advice: don't waste it on this man; he's simply not worth the expense.

Sure, Bush has done a wonderful job on the economy. What are you smoking?

Yes Gerald Ford had the Selective Service Act canceled in 1975 it was reinstated in 1980 by President Carter, for registration purposes only as there was no need for drafting as the All voluntary Armed Services were recruting all the people they needed. But they wanted a ready source of names in case a draft might become necessary.

He should have been an actor, what with his talented reading and all. Besides, he is really good at pulling off other people's ideals and ideas. He does have a problem being WHOMEVER he really is.

Bush is the economic hero of the rich upper class of America whom he has served with complet distinction, making them filty rich and destroying middle America. Yea Team Were Number 1 go GOP.

larry man did you mean the job the Republican President and his 49 Senators are blocking and have been since they lost the House and Senate last election, but not enough so the democrats could pass legislation even if vetoed??? is that the job your talking about or is it your crapola speech every Republican gives like drill here drill now as if the oil companies weren't doing just that when crude was worth 140 a barrel. At that price every oil man was foaming at the mouth to drill.

In case anyone cares that plane was not sold on e-bay. It was sold privately to an entrepreneur for 2.1 mil dollars.
A bit of a fib???

Pat not a fib an ommision of facts which is the same as lying.

What's another way to spell O*B*A*M*A?

Answer: P*E*L*O*S*I

Yep, Obama is Pelosi's boy!

OK Larryman! but is drilling relvant now after gas has gone down? Now is the chance for a long term solution not just mindless drilling! and 2 u Scott, jsut because Obama had aspirations as a young kid doesn't mean he is not qualified for the job. McCain's record shows numerous flip-flops in congress and nothing more! Just because a man serves in the military, it doesn't justify his claim to presidency!

I've always been very conservative, but I just can't bring myself to vote for McCain. Maybe it is because I'm an internet addict and i've seen SO many videos of McCain completely contradicting himself and being just entirely disingenuous. He's changed his opinion on EVERYTHING. I don't know what he stands for anymore. I think I'm going to sit this election out. I don't even care if obama gets elected --- maybe us republicans need a chance to regroup and get some new ideas instead of just saying the same thing that Bush said in 2000.

Saudis pay for Obama's Harvard education?. See Newsmax/Ken Timmerman.
Seems clear. Also, an Obama hate america connection long before Rev. Wright. Obama may have just been gullible but Obama/Panther/Saudi/Harvard connection is real.

Drilling is economically stupid. You have this resource -- you KNOW it is going to get more and more valuable and more and more scarce. So as soon as the price starts to look good you sell? NO! you hold it and sell when the price is REALLY high. Drilling now is bad economics. Save it for when we can get a decent price for it.

Give me a break with all the stupid name-calling. Things like
"Obama hates america" and "McCain is a crook" are just plain stupid. Is there any hope of having a real discussion here?

Anyone see this clip of people at the RNC trying to define "small town values". Basically, all they can think of to say about "values" is that they hate gays.. This is hysterical

http://thebruceblog.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/video-daily-show-republicans-define-small-town-values-lol/

Gee. I missed that entry in his books. If he had considered it, don't you think he'd of put it in his books, right next to trying "blow?"

I LOVE the daily show. They had a great clip showing side by side Bush's 2000 speech and McCain's 2008 speech. They are EXACTLY the same. It is so frightening!

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/06/daily-show-2008-mccain-2000-bush/

notliberal.

Examples of McCain changing mind on everything? If that is true, and as a cons, I disagree very much, is that a bad thing? Changing mind is one thing, but what Obama does is much more serious than changing mind. If McCain loses this election, The REPS may NEVER have the chance to regroup. If you are really a cons, you have to be really exited about Gov. Palin, NO?

POLLS THAT MATTER

The State-by-State Electoral College Map:

Obama 301
McCain 224
Tie 13

See http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Ypou need just 270 to win. Obama has 31 in reserve and when he gets Florida and Virginia, it is over.

I can see why the Repugs are pannicking. They have had a negative bounce in the polls that matter after their convention.

McOldman is toast.
