Soundbites from the timestream ... (http://exurbanleague.com/2008/06/05/the ... eview.aspx)

August 18, 2009
"As a nation we offer our sincere condolences to the people of South Korea and Japan. As you know, the North Korean leadership signed a legally binding document to curtail all future missle launches which specifically included those with live warheads. That is the primary reason Vice President Webb and I chose Pyongyang as the first stop of 'The Axis of the Misunderstood' tour. This isn't the Kim Jong-Il I knew. So, I share my deep sympathy with the residents of Kyoto, Niigata, Samchok, Tonghae, Wonju..."

"As a nation we offer our sincere condolences to the people of Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority. I warned Congress that banning Iran from purchasing superior targeting technology could result in unnecessary collateral damage. But we assure everyone in the region that America will help you rebuild your communities as soon as we receive approval from the United Nations. And once the radiation levels are safe again..."

"Despite our past challenges, I think we can work with Mahdi Ahmadinejad and all peace-loving citizens of the Islamic Republic of Greater Persia. As the world's newest and third-largest country, it is essential we build bridges of understanding with this deeply religious people — even if they are understandably suspicious of America's intentions. Thankfully, Ambassador Jeremiah Wright offers the perfect mix of theological and diplomatic skill necessary to..."

He is calling plays from Kerry's playbook.

He has said on a couple occasions he'd be more than happy to sit down with any leader with no pre-concieved agenda. He's quickly come full-circle saying he doesn't want to meet with them without an agenda. The biggest disaster of Obama becoming president would be in the national defense category. We'd be toast.

If it wasn't for this, I'd be willing to have Obama win, secure in the knowledge that it would be a one-term Presidency. Of course, I'm not sure McCain will get two terms, either.

Dr. Towns in Sunday School this morning was talking about McCain and Obama. He said that if McCain won, this country would become a McCain- nation........but if Obama won, it would be an Obama-nation

:rofl

He got a good response from the class and everybody laughed.

If Obama wins, I am moving to Australia as soon as I am done with my MBA. Yes, I know it can be done online anywhere in the world, but my GA position requires me to be in Lynchburg.

Along those same lines...I got this in my email today from my Dad, from something that was apparently said by Rush.
RUSH:
Hey, folks, you want to tweak the Drive-By Media with me right now? Want to participate in tweaking the Drive-By Media? You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states. You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.'
You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells 'potato,' and we still hear jokes about it. Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states. Well, I have here a printout from a website called the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins. 'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations commission on human rights called combating.'

We're participating here in a tweak of the media. Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. 'Every year from 1999 to 2005, the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states,' this is from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And the title of the piece here is, 'How the Islamic states dominate the UN human rights council,' and there are 57 of them.
So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen?
