Obama admits he doesn't understand the Stock Market - VIDEO
Here are a few video clips that are truly amazing. Sen. McCain is "absolutely right"… Mr. Obama doesn't understand, and that's dangerous. This guy couldn't disappear fast enough.
If you think this guy had anything intelligent to contribute to the bailout talks you are delusional.
Here are a couple others:
- Campaign Obama partners with Missouri law enforcement to curtail free speech. Scary. Maybe we should do the same here in South Dakota to put a lid on the deceptive ads of the Campaign for UNHealthy Families.
- Maybe Obama's "thought police" will charge him for his completely false and misleading reference to Henry Kissinger at the debate the other night.
- No video here, just the mention that the national finance chair of Obama’s presidential campaign wined and dined on Thursday night in NYC with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. This should be making headlines, but it won't. Ahmadinejad was dining at the Hyatt at the invitation of the World Council of Churches, the American Friends Service Committee, the Mennonites Central Committee, and other religious organizations.
Unreal. I share the sentiments of one the “Gays Against Ahmadinejad” protesters who stood outside shouting… “This bum shouldn’t even be in this city… These clueless Christians are sitting down with him, for dialogue. You can’t have a dialogue with the devil… If I were in there at that dinner, I’d probably vomit all over my plate.
”Christian leaders ignoring a holocaust - pardon me, I just had a deja vu moment. It's happening here in SD too.

Obama is turning out to be The Big Let-Down of ’08.
Obama kept insinuating that He is The Second Coming but every time we’ve held our breaths waiting for him to change water into wine, we’ve been disappointed. Obama kept telling us to ‘tune in next week!’ and he never delivers, the miracle never comes. There is nothing there.
Obama’s has a problem with clarity. I have systematically studied both his autobiographies and I still don’t know what kind of man I’m dealing with. When he was first showcased on TV, my interest was aroused. I used to find Obama enigmatic, but now he just comes off as vacuous, empty.
Obama’s two books address the questions of “Journey of Discovery to Where?” and “Who Am I?” We can all relate to such pondering. But Obama does not give us an answer. If he has found the answer since publishing those two books two years ago then he hasn’t told us yet.
McCain has been on a longer and harder personal journey. There can be nothing more extreme than surviving daily torture for five years. Can you imagine that? To be beaten day-in and day-out, starved, your hands and legs bound by chains? McCain already knows what he can take, and humbly knows where he breaks. Every man and woman has a breaking point. It is very human. McCain already knows his, even though he held out as long as he could.
What trials or stories of human devastation has Obama endured? I can’t imagine being Black in America is an easy thing. But Obama was raised in Polynesia by white grandparents and then went on to Harvard, community service, the Senate, and now the presidency. Obama’s journey seems to have been very easy. His skin color opened all the right doors for him instead of slamming them shut. Obama didn’t march against segregation. Obama didn’t fight for affirmative action. He planted no tree. He carried no water for that tree. Obama has just come along and picked the fruits. That is easy street. This is not a great American story. This is not a triumph of will over adversity. This is a story of baby-boomer entitlement. This is the story of the yuppy next door. These stories are a dime a dozen on aisle 3 at Whole Foods.
You may agree or disagree with McCain but at least you know where he stands. He has a long track record to judge him by. McCain has a long list of hits and misses. He has made mistakes (like us all) but that is because he had been trying to do things and change things all his life. Obama markets himself as the candidate with an unblemished record, but that is only because he doesn’t have a record. We have nothing to judge Obama by. All he gives us is his word and we are supposed to put all our trust in his future promises. But these promises keep changing: Obama has produced two contradictory promises on Iraq, two contradictory promises on NAFTA, and two contradictory promises on taxes. Are we supposed to judge him by the original promise he made, or by his most recent one? The candidate who flows with the changing winds of polls is the lightweight. That much we know.
I feel very embarrassed for buying into the Obama phenomena. Maybe now that the weather is changing I see things in a new light. I feel sheepish for falling for the marketing pitch. Where do I go to get a refund?
I think that many voters like me are looking for clarity in our next president. I feel I know what kind of man McCain is, and that I can trust him. McCain gets my vote.

Mike - I guess you can take comfort in the fact that you aren't alone. I started to watch substantial American enthusiasm for Obama start wane about the time he too his premature victory lap around the world.

I say keep Obama talking. Every time he opens his mouth he inadvertently tells us he has no substance!

One quote from the article: "Please pray with us and for MCC, that we may be wise in the way of Christ, and foolish in the way of the world . . . " Amen!
Thanks you MCC for following the Jesus way even when it's not popular.
