I can't believe how outrageous his comments are (which is why they deserve a special thread). I am glad his radical comments are being magnified and ripped apart, such as in the article linked below, because his radical nature and divisiveness is ruining this country.

He's truly clueless and an empty suit. I'm sure he's a great guy, but he really shouldn't be President, not now and not ever.

And yet many will vote for him because of his skin color and their skin color. Issues and what is best for America do not matter in the least.

He's trying to walk it back by saying the pre-amble to his quoted comment defines it. Bullbutter. Every time this guy gets off the teleprompter, we are given a window into his soul:

1. He told Joe the Plumber he was all for re-distribution as an off-script answer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRPbCSSXyp0 Go to the 4:40 mark. Interestingly, he also tells Joe he will cut Capital Gains to nothing. Wonder whatever happened to that idea?

2. He told the campaign organization in San Francisco that midwesterners cling to their guns and God - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTxXUufI3jA

3. He told an interviewer that energy prices would skyrocket should his Cap-N-Trade scheme be enacted - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4

Maybe if Americans weren't so hell-bent for making history, drinking the "Hope and Change" Kool-Aid and fawning over his teleprompter readings we wouldn't be saddled with the most inept leader of all time. Correcting that mistake happens in 106 days.

false.

democrats were already getting 90% performance from the african-american voting block long before obama ran for national office. obama got 95% performance from them in 2008...

so, you MAY say that 5% voted for obama due to his skin hue... but even that is without proof.

and when you consider that obama won over palin/mccain by 7%? well it is pretty clear that skin color had nothing to do with ti.

one thing is for certain: skin color DOES make a difference for YOU in the voting booth.

The letters-to-the-editor in yesterday's Wall St. Journal regarding the radical's outrageous comments were terrific ---- must read material!


This may well be the final straw that costs him the election.

Bethere...I'm with you on this all the way. Minorities have been voting the Demo line for years.

The race card regarding Americans voting due to skin color is a lie and a travesty for those that think that way!

Great ad, Mr. Brown. Good luck in your campaign against the radical you are running against.

it has been an interesting process.

when i was in grad school i ran a local fast food restaurant... an arby's.

when i got my first store as a full manager my boss told me i was going to have to fire my whole crew. he said the only person i would prob be able to salvage was my assistant.

i fired the assistant the first morning i worked. we had perfect cash every night, and i mean every night. i pulled the transaction tapes and realized that this clown was voiding roast beef sandwiches--and then a handful of change via selling sauce packets--until the drawers were even every night. of course the first thing my boss said was to fix the beef efficiency... and here that answer was. but to fix it i also had to fire the scumbag who was voiding me into oblivion.

and i uncovered a massive cash problem instead.

but the big lesson was not that, it was that i retained almost the whole crew over my boss's objections.

without adult supervision these guys were training themselves. they looked at the manual--for real--and interpreted it for themselves. of course everything they did looked like the hooterville or bizzaro world arby's. but, if you looked at their results and read the badly written manual you could tell that they were good kids trying to do the right thing in a situation where they got zero input from their manager.

in the end i turned around the store easily... after about a month of pure 24hr torture.

now, one of those kids is a doctor. another is the superintendent of schools in a large miami valley shool district. two of them are managers at dayton arby's.

am i proud that i didn't fire them?

you bet.

and i am glad i took the time to try to understand wisdome.

please make a note of it.

Access to the 'voiding key' can be the kiss of death.

he was my new assistant manager, he had to be trusted with the void key. to fire him i knew that i had to both open and close the store by myself until i trained a member of my crew to take his job.

the messed up thing was i caught it the very first day. where was the front office and the previous manager on this one? they asked for the master reset number off the cash registers every single day on the conference call. why ask for them if you aren't going to subtract yesterday's number from today's number and check the voids?

i went to high school with another one of our supervisors--although i did not work for him. he called me at home when i got the promotion and told me this kid was, 'a good kid. a hard worker, my best asset.'

i didn't have him long enough to find out.

Of course not.... he did that on his own, but I'm sure they created Arby's? :D

Wingman3, Obama says that, government created that.

[fbgom]

Al Gore created the internet...but destroys Manbearpig!!! And that is super-awesome.

(South Park Episode 1006)

"I'm here to educate you about the single biggest threat to our planet. You see, there is something out there which threatens our very existence and may be the end of the human race as we know it. I'm talking of course about... Manbearpig.

It is a creature which roams the earth alone. It is half man, half bear, and half pig. Some people say that Manbearpig isn't real. Well, I'm here to tell you know, Manbearpig is very real, and he most certainly exists. I'm serial. Manbearpig doesn't care who you are or what you've done. Manbearpig simply wants to get you! I'm super-serial. But have no fear, because I am here to save you! And someday, when the world is rid of Manbearpig, everyone will say "Thank you, Al Gore. You're super awesome."
