McCain Needs to Follow the Nut Trail

By Mike DeNobile
Huh?

Huh?

Over the past few months in his campaign, Obama has picked up a few nuts in his political basket that he must answer for.  While many Democratic voters have absolved him of these nuts, McCain must force Obama to explain these nuts to those crucial undecided and Independent voters if he expects to win the election.

Buddies in Better Times

Buddies in Better Times

Nut #1Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  But hasn’t Obama already taken care of Rev. Wright by distancing himself from the reverend?  Absolutely not.  I’m sure many people who go to church have had disagreements with their pastor; however, saying you disagree does not explain why you would remain in a congregation for over 20 years listening to tirade after tirade of anti-American, racially dividing rhetoric and providing money in the offering basket in support of the parish and pastor with such hate speech.  Questioning this does not inject race into the debate; it’s questioning the character of Obama on how he, a man of stature in his community, could justify sitting in a pew for so many decades while not checking his pastor’s hate speech.

Louis Farrakhan


Nut #2
Louis Farrakhan.  If Rev. Wright isn’t bad enough, Farrakhan, the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, puts Obama in even deeper hot water.  Wright and Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ honored Farrakhan with their Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer Award in December 2007 for “his commitment to truth, education and leadership,” stating that, “When Minister Louis Farrakhan speaks, America listens.” Hmm, only one problem.  Farrakhan’s truth includes Judaism is a “gutter religion,” Adolf Hitler was a “very great man,” and “white people are potential humans; they haven’t evolved yet.” Obama severed ties with Wright and his church less than two months ago; the award was given to Farrakhan ten months ago.  In the words of Ricky Ricardo, Barry, “you got some ’splainin’ to do….” The following video recorded this week is very disturbing.  Listen as Farrakhan likens Obama to a Messiah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OowxMcVTjTE).  As you listen, notice the crowd whom he is speaking to.  He seems to suggest an uprising to come based on race and religion.
Hey, Tony!
Nut #3Tony Rezko.  The more we learn of Obama’s past and associates, it bleeds more corruption than the musical Chicago.  News broke today that Tony the Real Estate Tiger, convicted of 16 counts of fraud and corruption back in June, was sharing secrets of Illinois corruption (and all that jazz) with federal prosecuters.  Hey, Tony, in your situation, if I could I would be you.  Between a rock and a hard place, he’s realized that it’s the end of the road and he’s going to face the music like a man.  But by talking, Obama needs to explain some money transactions, especially their past relationship (in 1991, Obama didn’t take a job offer from Tony; a friendship budded) and also Rezko’s role in buying Obama’s house, especially a 10-foot plot of land that the Obamas bought from Rezko’s wife for $104,500 in 2005 while Tony was under investigation for fraud.  Obama has admitted that this was a “bonehead” error to ask for the plot of land since it seemed as if he was getting a favor.  Thank you, Tony.
Bill Ayers on the Flag

Bill Ayers on the Flag

Nut #4William “Bill” Ayers.  Obama’s buddies have been known to be racist, anti-American, bad with money, and bad with judgement, but Bill Ayers takes the cake.  Formerly a leader and cofounder of the leftist group Weather Underground and currently a Distinguished Professor at University of Illinois, Ayers bombed the NYC Police Headquarters, Capital Building and the Pentagon in the early 1970s, and on 9/11/2001 (date ring a bell?) the New York Times ran an Ayers interview, where he stated that he didn’t “regret” the bombings and felt that he and his group “didn’t do enough.” Flash forward to the early 1990s; Ayers and Obama met at a school reform luncheon and hit it off.  Ayers liked Obama so much, that in 1995, he jump started Obama’s campaign from his living room.  They served together on an anti-poverty board the Woods Fund of Chicago, during which time Ayers donated monies for Obama’s re-election to the Illinois State Senate.  Is this another poor judgement on Obama’s part?  Or is this a right-wing witch hunt?  My question would be this: if you have had your eyes on serving America in the White House since Bill Clinton, why would you have any association at all with someone who once terrorized the nation you supposedly love?
Philip Berg

Philip Berg

Nut #5: Philip Berg.  Some nuts are good nuts.  Apparently, on August 22, 2008, Berg filed a complaint with the US District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania for Barack Hussein Obama to turn over his birth certificate to prove he is a natural born citizen.  Berg claims the following:
Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and relocated herself and Obama to Indonesia wherein Obama’s mother naturalized in Indonesia and Obama followed her naturalization, as he was a minor and in the custody of his mother. Obama failed to take the oath of allegiance when he turned eighteen (18) years to regain his United States Citizenship status.
Check out the full complaint at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2066207/posts.  If there’s anything to be an October Surprise it would be that Barack Obama isn’t even a US citizen!
Daniel Mudd

Daniel Mudd

Nut #6: Daniel Mudd.  You may not know Mr. Mudd, but I know you know the corporation that he was the CEO for.  Fannie Mae has become a household name, but I bet you didn’t know that Fannie Mae and Barack Obama have closer ties than he’s made himself think.  Take a look at this video, explaining the relationship between Fannie Mae, Obama, and the Black Caucaus, and then tell me that our financial crisis has nothing to do with Obama and the Democrats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0).  Oh yeah, and did you know that in less than 3 years, Obama collected $126,349 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than (Democrat) John Kerry, who collected $111,000 in 20 years.  There was only one other senator who collected more than Obama, and that was (Democrat) Chris Dodd at $165,400.  Obama also earned four times more money from Fannie Mae per year than any other senator in the past 20 years, and 49 times more money than McCain, who collected a little bit more than $860 per year.  I guess it doesn’t pay to call for the regulation of a government-run insurance company.
Miner, Barnhill, & Galland

Miner, Barnhill, & Galland

Nut #7:  Miner, Barnhill & Galland.  While on the economic crisis–I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but the Messiah was the lawyer for Miner, Barnhill, & Galland that sued banks for not issuing enough subprime loans, including Citibank in 1994.  Another example of how Obama has helped in putting a wrench in our economy.

Joe Biden

Joe Biden

Nut #8Joe Biden.  Joe Sixpack is such a crazy character, isn’t he?  He’ll slip his lip from time to time, and even insert his foot into his mouth.  But ever since he was chosen to be Obama’s running mate, the Democrats have gotten amnesia.  Wasn’t it Joey Boy himself who said that Obama wasn’t ready to lead?  Here’s the McCain ad that simply cut and paste video from the Democratic primaries:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpjAs4vtc1w.  Even Biden deep down inside doesn’t believe in his running mate.  Why should we?

A Corrupt Organization Running the Nation

Nut #9: ACORN.  Sometimes you feel like a nut…sometimes you are one.  What does ACORN do?  They register voters.  Sounds patriotic enough.  Only one problem.  Somewhere along the line, the vision of ACORN was hijacked by left-wing nuts, where even this week, the Chicago chapter has admitted that they cannot rule out voter fraud from their practice.  All that wind that’s blown around the Windy City must be hot air.  But anyway, did you hear about the 4,000 voters they registered in Washington, DC?  Yeah–only 6 of them were legit.  But even more-so, not only do they fraudulantly register fake people like Mickey Mouse and Jive Turkey, but they are intimidating voters to vote for Obama.  Besides the fact that they like the Donkey Party, why else might they be pushing Obama?  Could it be that about twenty years ago, Madeline Talbot, the head of the Chicago division of ACORN, hired Obama to train her personal staff?  And do you know what Obama trained the leaders in ACORN to do?  How to get banks to issue subprime loans to families who couldn’t afford the homes.  The sad part:  the intimidation and pressure of ACORN on banks to issue these subprime loans was legal under the Community Reinvestment Act (government-run intimidation…don’tcha love it?), and not only that, but $100 million of our own tax dollars will go to ACORN in the government’s bailout plan for the economy.  We fund government-run intimidation.  But I digress.

How did I lose the 57th state?

How did I lose the 57th state?

Wednesday will be the big night for McCain.  If there isn’t an October Surprise, then the debate itself must be McCain’s Surprise.  If McCain doesn’t follow the nut trail and call out Obama on his nuts, he will surely lose the election.  Americans are angry and we do want change.  But the type of change we don’t need is from someone who’s carrying around a bunch of nuts.  And it’d be different if there were one or two nuts–there are at least 9.  I pray that McCain does follow the nut trail so that on the morning of November 5, Obama will be scratching his head thinking, “Man, how did I lose the 57th state?”
