Yet he is nothing more than a hack from Chicago who no one heard of four years ago but who rose to national prominence thanks to the scoundrels at the DNC who made him the keynote speaker at their 2004 convention and set the stage for him to be their next presidential nominee regardless of his lack of experience. He is nothing more than a media creation and it makes me sick to see this egomaniac trying to play at being president, having meetings with foreign leaders as though he is actually important and as though he actually has any knowledge of foreign affairs. I wish they would have ignored him like the non-entity he truly is, that would certainly cut him down to size. We have the sychophantic, fawning media to blame for foisting this punk on us and now we have to be subjected to his nauseating display of self-importance. His candidacy is a fluke which never should have happened and hopefully come November he will fade into the dustbin of history. But to ensure that happens, he must lose in a landslide so he never gets another chance to run for president.<br /><br />The man is a total fraud and his campaign a charade. Here is the megalomaniac <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/07/021066.php">lying </a>about being on the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee</span> during a speech in Sderot and yet the media remains silent as he consistently lies:<br /><br /><blockquote>First of all, I didn't change my statement.<br /><br />I continued to say that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel. And I have said that before and I will say it again. And I also have said that it is important that we don't simply slice the city in half. But I've also said that that's a final status issue. That's an issue that has to be dealt with with the parties involved, the Palestinians and the Israelis. And it's not the job of the United States to dictate the form in which that will take, but rather to support the efforts that are being made right now to resolve these very difficult issues that have a long history.<br /><br />Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don't have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon.</blockquote> h/t <a href="http://soccerdad.baltiblogs.com/archives/2008/07/24/obama_talks_about_commitment_to_israel_while_pointing_to_imaginary_accomplishments.html">Soccerdad</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/sidebar_c2_v1_43.js" > </script></div>LELhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14973177230144550659noreply@blogger.com
