Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin on ACCOMPLISHMENTS

[reno93535]

Liberals bitched about Bush's spending. Obama has spent plenty more. Where are you, hypocrites?

[twogoodith]

DreaRose take your anti Obama messages and shove them up your ass

[19Brooke87]

I second that.

[Mitchb87]

You did a great job on your video Brooke, we just keep finding out that the accomplishments McCain & Palin have campaigned on keep turning out to be questionable. An example: Beginning at the Republican National Convention in August, the McCain-Palin ticket has touted the pipeline as an example of how it would help America achieve energy independence, but it turns out that bidding process favored only a few independent pipeline companies and ultimately benefited the winner, TransCanada Corp.

[Mitchb87]

Sarah Palin is fake & clearly enjoying her 15 minutes of fame. Everything she has listed as an accomplishment as Governor or small town Mayor has turned out to be full of corruption, a lie or a scandal. The latest scandal: Her Alaskan pipeline emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration. Can anyone post a Palin accomplishment that has not turned out to be a lie, full of corruption or a scandal?

[DreaRose]

I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.

[DreaRose]

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.

My question - Where did he get the

money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have

had money for a trip like this when they where in college

[DreaRose]

When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe.

After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer

for $12,000. a year.

Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living

in New York .

By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born

[DreaRose]

of fraud and bribery this year.

Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional

Association'.

About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School .

Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School?

Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law

school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.

[DreaRose]

Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price).With ALL those Student Loans - With what $? !

[DreaRose]

On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty

lot for full price.

The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an

Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.

5 million three weeks before Obama's

new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President.

Valerie Jarrett, was

Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.

[DreaRose]

She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran .This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that

[DreaRose]

during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'. Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ? And the final bit of news. The accidental 'Muslim Faith' comment?

[DreaRose]

Some mistake! PEOPLE: Open your eyes! He has been being GROOMED for this since he was BORN!

All of the above information I got on line.

If you would like to check it -

> Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama;

Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; Washington Times - September > 7, 2008; The Times 5/10/08.Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?

[DreaRose]

Obviously this had to be posted in sections: Start with my first post and read accordingly. Whoever sent this verbage to me-I want to thank you. Don't be 'Sheeple'. Look at the basic facts. Do you really think what's important to the CELEBRITIES is what's important for you? Before you fill in the oval and vote: Stop and think about 9/11 and how you felt that day. Think about why MUSLIMS would want to kill us. Want to KILL YOU. VOTE MCCAIN for your SAFETY!

[hallebob1]

nice wasnt he a community organizer while going to HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN WAS 894TH OUT OF 899 HES SO SMART AND THAT WAS PROBABLY CAUSE DADDY KEPT HIM IN THERE.

[Gumbeaux0311]

Go with your instinct. I just cant vote Obama. The man has no identity and has ties to so many notorious people. McCain served his nation granted he's not the best candidate at all neither is Palin for VP. I dont support them. I simply will and can not vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

[notelvisjr]

Go with your *instinct*? That's no way to make an informed decision.

And, gee, you emphasize Obama's middle name? Why? Because he chose it himself due to his admiration of Saddam? Or was it perhaps his parents gave him that name when he was born, before anybody had ever heard of Saddam?

Seriously, why emphasize his middle name? Scare tactic, perhaps? Or nothing better to go on?

[Gumbeaux0311]

Ummm yeah instinct and yes i did my research on both of them and that is a perfect way to make an informed decision....Yes it is a scaret tactic... I dont my President by the name of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...there i put it in all caps so you can break it down for me, so... go on.

[notelvisjr]

RESEARCH is a good way - but going with instinct, and going with "I don't like the name his parents gave him?"

Would it make a difference if it was Barack Abdul Obama? Barack Stephen Obama?

Oh, and I suppose McCain being so close to McVeigh, I mean, hey, their names are awfully similar... does that mean you can't vote for McCain because he'll probably blow up government buildings in the US? That he's probably a domestic terrorist?

Are you TRYING to insult your own intelligence?

[Gumbeaux0311]

Yes his name does matter... When we're at war with terrorists do we want a president with not one not two but three Islamic names??? I sure dont...

[notelvisjr]

That's a pretty vile sort of racism and bigotry you're showing... alsom your statement displays sheer ignorance.

So, automatically, Middle Eastern name = Islamic = terrorist? If you think someone's your enemy because of their religion or their name, why don't you go back and join the Third Reich?

Barack is Semitic/Hebrew name.

Obama is a Kenyan name... in case you were wondering, Kenya is in Africa.

But hey, why am I trying to convince a racist/Islamophobe?

[sinistar99]

Hey you're arguing with the same kind of total idiot who probably thinks Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is closest to Russia. There's a tall mountain there too which is closest to space so she's probably a space expert too. Friggin retards. Oooo his name is Houssein so he must be a terrorist!

[Gumbeaux0311]

Hahahaaaa right....Let's be real. Racist. You make me sick dude. The conversation is over. Watch what you say next time.

[notelvisjr]

What's wrong? Your fear-mongering and demagoguery doesn't hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny, and you suddenly don't want to talk anymore? Typical.

Ok, let's go with it, then. If it's not racism, what would *you* call it? A black man born in the US, and you think he shouldn't be President because of your misperceptions of his name? What do *you* call that?

[Gumbeaux0311]

What do YOU call his associations with oh I dont know William Ayers? Frank Marshall Davis? Rezko? Father Pfleger? Rev. Wright and Meeks? ACORN??? hmmmm by the way i grew up with black people dominantly and my best friends were black not to mention i stood beside them in Iraq so yes i am racist against white people like you ill give u that so please lets keep playing the race card like the rest of you liberals love to do to cover up Obama. Come on dude keep the insults jabbing...

[notelvisjr]

Yeah, rehash the same old unproven stuff. Ayers killed people when Obama was 8, never convicted. Davis died when Obama was 25. ACORN - you show me actual convictions of people who did what ACORN told them to do, instead of breaking ACORN's rules, then I'll believe you. Ffleger and Wright? Disavowed by Obama. Meeks? What relation to Obama?

But you never answered my question - if it's not racism, what do *you* call stating that Obama is unfit for presidency due to his NAME?

[sinistar99]

Ayers NEVER KILLED ANYBODY. He was a political activist against the Viet Nam war who was involved small bombings which didn't kill or injure anybody. He was guilty of vandalism and acts of civil disobedience -not terrorism. Ayres contributed only $200 to Obama's Illinois senate campaign. Obama didn't do a complete background check on every school teacher and community leader who helped him raise funds thats all. The Right-wing lie-machine blows this "association" way out of proportion.

[Gumbeaux0311]

You sound mature alright...I have yet to throw an insult towards nor will you hear one from me... Lets try again and see what else you have to pull out of your ass.

[ahdaiyah2012]

[jerrmancool]

very good work. i gotta say thats as straightforward as you can be =)

[Grayma19V]

How proud I am of you taking the time to establish voting boundries for the wise. I only wish more people would do their homework as thoroughly as you have. You, young lady, are an informed voter. Congratualtions. Grayma V

[AmericanTrash07]

My comment would be on the "Thanks, but no thanks" part. It's completely false. Palin supported the bridge and getting the funds for it. When Congress decided not to let Alaska to use the funds for the Bridge to Nowhere, she still took the money and used it for other things, taking the credit herself for being a reformer.

[VRRA4]

Great video.

[casperzy1]

Also, did you hear about the pipeline to nowhere? Sarah Palin's pipeline that she's been bragging so much about has to be built through Canadian native peoples lands and doesn't even have approval and mostly likely wont get it.

[AmericanTrash07]

Really? Is there a news article or something you can point me to?

[casperzy1]

I suppose being a small town mayor is like being a community organizer, except you actually help people, you don't just turn into a cold hearted bitch who mocks those who help poor people.

[ViperLord21]

Choke on the facts Republicans! Very nice video, well done.

[19Brooke87]

why thank you!

[casperzy1]

Oh a little more about Obama's experience, he is...

Member, Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Chairman, Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs

Member, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions

Member, Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

Member, Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs

[19Brooke87]

thanks for you input! can I ask what your sources are for this list? i may put it on the video if i know the source. (and, I agree with you about what you said on Sarah Palin, it was really hard to cut out all the embelishments from the McCain site.)

[casperzy1]

This is great very unbiased. Even thoug I feel Palin has lied about most of her experience especially the parts where she says she did anything herself. Most people don't even look and read this stuff. I have thouroughly gone over both of their wesites and read this but I'm glad you put it out there. Much bette that a Sarah Palin slideshow.

[phylosophycalwisdom]

Hey Brooke,another nicely done informational video.You know what would be even more effective,if somehow you can speak the words. This is some very powerful information you are sharing,because as much as I follow Obama, your videos has informed me about things I did not know.The problem is,some people like myself who graves knowledge, because knowledge is power,would take the time to read,but others may not take the timeout to read, so If you have a mic,you can speak to the beat of the music

[andid]

thanks for the recommendation, Brooke. It was a refreshing video in that there were actually facts involved, and it takes quite the time to make sense of each candidate's website.

What's missing from McCain's website is the flip flopping and the scandal that gives each seemingly good decision context. In my opinon, almost every McCain accomplishment went out the window with this Rovian-Lipstick campaign. Sarah's went to shit after repeatedly and without apology lying to the American people.

[19Brooke87]

you are very welcome...spread the facts around. And thank you for your input.

[Mitchb87]

During her second term as mayor, Sarah Palin proposed the construction of a municipal sports center financed by a 0.5% sales tax increase. The $14.7 million Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex was built but the Wasilla spent an additional $1.3 million because of an eminent domain lawsuit. Wasilla long-term debt grew from approximately $1 million to $25 million ($15 million for the sports complex, $5.5 million for street projects, and $3 million for water improvement projects)

[Mitchb87]

You did to a great job on your video, I am just leaving some comments

[dimplepimp]

Cool!

I wish I could vote, but I live in Denmark!

Vote Obama/Biden, please!!

[Mitchb87]

Ear-marks in the small town of Wasilla: Palin hired the Anchorage-based lobbying firm of Robertson, Monagle & Eastaugh to lobby for earmarks for Wasilla. The effort was led by Steven Silver, a former chief of staff for Senator Ted Stevens, and it secured nearly $27 million in funds. The earmarks included $500,000 for a youth shelter, $1.9 million for a transportation hub, $900,000 for sewer repairs, and $15 million for a rail project linking Wasilla and the ski resort community of Girdwood.

[Mitchb87]

Very nice job on your video. I would add the popultaion of Wasilla 6,500. It is a lot different than being mayor of LA or some other large city. She lied when she said "thanks, but no thanks" She campained on the "build the brige platform". She spent $25 million to build the road to the bridge so she would not have to five the $442 million ear-marked tax dollars back to the government. She kept the money, she did not give it back. Saying thanks but no thanks was a lie.

[19Brooke87]

thanks Mitch. I absolutely agree with you. I just wanted to make a video that was as unbiased as possible. Otherwise I would have made the video about my opinion, which is pretty close to yours. I just wanted people to read the facts side by side..

thanks again
