Say What, Barrack?


By Paul R. Hollrah

Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself listening to a speech by
Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. He was standing in the pulpit of a black
church in Selma, Alabama, and as I studied the body language of the dozen
or so black ministers standing behind the senator, I couldn't help but be
reminded of the little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in the
rear windows of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any
indication, the new "Schlickmeister" of the Democrat Party is actually a
pretty accomplished public speaker.

However, as he spoke, I found my bull_ _ _ _ alarm going off, repeatedly.
But I couldn't quite figure out why until I actually read excerpts of his
speech several days later. Here's part of what he said:

"...something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in
Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, "ripples of hope all
around the world." Something happened when a bunch of women decided they
were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing
somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children.

"When (black) men who had PhD's decided 'that's enough' and 'we're going to
stand up for our dignity,' that sent a shout across oceans so that my
grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who
grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his
sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had
a chance.

"So the Kennedy's decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to go
to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give
them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country
America is.

"This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over
to this country. He met this woman whose great
great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea
there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and
they decided that we know that, (in) the world as it has been, it might not
be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something
stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama,
because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got
together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a
claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma,
Alabama."

Okay, so what's wrong with that? It all sounds good but is it?

Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to "march
across a bridge" in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas,
and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the
courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that
characterization is that Barrack Obama, Jr. was born on August 4, 1961,
while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn't occur
until March 7, 1965, at least five years after Obama's parents met.

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby,
decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that
they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard
that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr. to America.

The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961,
the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So,
if his African grandfather heard words that "sent a shout across oceans,"
inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat
Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Obama's speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having invented the
Internet, Hillary Clinton's claim of having been named after the first man
to climb Mt. Everest, even though she was born five years and seven months
before Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to
Cambodia.

As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, "We need to ask some very
serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It's not enough to be
black, it's not enough to be articulate, and it's not enough to be eloquent
and a media darling. The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how
blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince."

Thank you, Condor!

The first time I saw Barrack Obama, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I felt like growling. I don't know what gave me that reaction, but I felt there was pure evil in that man. Now we know that "truth is not in him".

Granny, my reaction was similar to yours.
The way this country is going I guess that gives him a good chance to get elected. Few want to hear the truth today.

Here is a good (warning 75 min) vid that refutes the Gore thesis on global warming:

Much science

It's truly a shame when someone doesn't know their own history and has to 'make it up' as they go along.
As far as Al Gore goes, and his 'global warming' ....if what he's saying has any truth to it, he's making the future happen!
