YOUR CHARACTER IS SHOWING ~ Take Back America, CITIZENS

Iowans for Obama

Straight talk

I have seen that some people think there is no difference in the front runners of the Democratic Presidential candidates. The claim is that on the issues they are the same. I disagree even with that, however I have always had the ability to see past what someone is presenting and see "inside". It works for me. And then I was reading Ralph Waldo Emerson's Essays. I thought how relevant the passage below is ~ to how I see Hillary Clinton versus Barack Obama. I see Hillary as a pretentious person. I don't see her as living her own truth.

Barack Obama's "Our Moment Is Now", full speech:
"Our broken and divided politics ... straight talk, over spin ...We are not as divided as our politics suggest..."

Barack Obama on The Meaning of Hope and Standing for Change

I see Barack Obama living his truth. His eyes are clear. He looks to me like he is living his life in line with his destiny. Of course, "We the People" don't have to accept his destiny as part of our destiny. I will consider that a mistake if that is what we allow to happen.

When I watch the candidates speak of both parties, I see a lot of ego in the way. I see it in Rudy Guiliani a lot. I see Hillary want to be President for her needs more than ours.
..........................................................................

..........................................................................
I believe Senator Obama cares about our people, our Constitution and human rights more than his need to be President. This is a difference that I see.

Emerson:

"...If you act you show character; if you sit still you show it; if you sleep you show it. You think because you have spoken nothing when others spoke, and have given no opinion on the times, on the church, on slavery, on the college, on parties and persons, that your verdict is still expected with curiosity as a reserved wisdom. Far otherwise; your silence answers very loud. You have no oracle to utter, and your fellow-men have learned that you cannot help them; for oracles speak. Doth not wisdom cry and understanding put forth her voice?

Dreadful limits are set in nature to the powers of dissimulation. Truth tyrannizes over the unwilling members of the body. Faces never lie, it is said. No man need be deceived who will study the changes of expression. When a man speaks the truth in the spirit of truth, his eye is as clear as the heavens. When he has base ends and speaks falsely, the eye is muddy and sometimes asquint.

......That which we do not believe we cannot adequately say, though we may repeat the words never so often...

...Pretension may sit still, but cannot act. Pretension never feigned an act of real greatness. Pretension never wrote an Iliad, nor drove back Xerxes, nor christianized the world, nor abolished slavery.

...The high, the generous, the self-devoted sect will always instruct and command mankind. Never a sincere word was utterly lost. Never a magnanimity fell to the ground. Always the heart of man greets and accepts it unexpectedly. A man passes for that he is worth. What he is engraves itself on his face, on his form, on his fortunes, in letters of light which all men may read but himself. Concealment avails him nothing; boasting nothing. There is confession in the glances of our eyes; in our smiles; in salutations; and the grasp of hands...Men know not why they do not trust him; but they do not trust him."

MOLLY IVINS WASN'T FOR HILLARY BECOMING PRESIDENT EITHER

I discovered Molly Ivins when I read that she died this year. I fell in love with her at that time though, just by reading all about her at the end of what was a rebel life. A woman that I could adore even getting to "know" only through the writings about her.

I found this just now poking around the internet:
Molly Ivins: Not. Backing. Hillary.
From Friday, January 20, 2006

AUSTIN, Texas (Creators Syndicate) ~ I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.

The recent death of Gene McCarthy reminded me of a lesson I spent a long, long time unlearning, so now I have to re-learn it. It's about political courage and heroes, and when a country is desperate for leadership. There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times. There are times a country is so tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief.

If no one in conventional-wisdom politics has the courage to speak up and say what needs to be said, then you go out and find some obscure junior senator from Minnesota with the guts to do it. In 1968, Gene McCarthy was the little boy who said out loud, "Look, the emperor isn't wearing any clothes." Bobby Kennedy -- rough, tough Bobby Kennedy -- didn't do it. Just this quiet man trained by Benedictines who liked to quote poetry.

What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The majority of the American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American people want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The majority (66 percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.

The majority (77 percent) thinks we should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment. The majority (87 percent) thinks big oil companies are gouging consumers and would support a windfall profits tax. That is the center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

I listen to people like Rahm Emanuel superciliously explaining elementary politics to us clueless naifs outside the Beltway ("First, you have to win elections"). Can't you even read the damn polls?

Here's a prize example by someone named Barry Casselman, who writes, "There is an invisible civil war in the Democratic Party, and it is between those who are attempting to satisfy the defeatist and pacifist left base of the party and those who are attempting to prepare the party for successful elections in 2006 and 2008."

This supposedly pits Howard Dean, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, emboldened by "a string of bad news from the Middle East ... into calling for premature retreat from Iraq," versus those pragmatic folk like Steny Hoyer, Rahm Emmanuel, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Joe Lieberman.

Oh come on, people -- get a grip on the concept of leadership. Look at this war -- from the lies that led us into it, to the lies they continue to dump on us daily.

You sit there in Washington so frightened of the big, bad Republican machine you have no idea what people are thinking. I'm telling you right now, Tom DeLay is going to lose in his district. If Democrats in Washington haven't got enough sense to OWN the issue of political reform, I give up on them entirely.

Do it all, go long, go for public campaign financing for Congress. I'm serious as a stroke about this -- that is the only reform that will work, and you know it, as well as everyone else who's ever studied this. Do all the goo-goo stuff everybody has made fun of all these years: embrace redistricting reform, electoral reform, House rules changes, the whole package. Put up, or shut up. Own this issue, or let Jack Abramoff politics continue to run your town.

Bush, Cheney and Co. will continue to play the patriotic bully card just as long as you let them. I've said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were "German dogs." They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds. The MINUTE someone impugns your patriotism for opposing this war, turn on them like a snarling dog and explain what loving your country really means. That, or you could just piss on them elegantly, as Rep. John Murtha did. Or eviscerate them with wit (look up Mark Twain on the war in the Philippines). Or point out the latest in the endless "string of bad news."

Do not sit there cowering and pretending the only way to win is as Republican-like. If the Washington-based party can't get up and fight, we'll find someone who can.

Claire from Des Moines, Iowa, United States wrote this on her blog when Molly died:
Molly Ivins lost her long battlewith cancer today. I loved reading her column because she had the gift of saying everything I felt about George W. Bush. She made me feel like I wasn't the only person in the world that hates what Bush has done to this country. She was a brave fighter. She stood up for the powerless and voiceless. I will miss reading her provacative and sometimes hilarious musings.

The Texas Observer's tribute to Molly Ivins is a loving gesture to what must have been a great woman.

OBAMA TRANSCENDS BOUNDARIES ~ MAKING FOREIGN RELATIONS BETTER ALREADY

Fired up. One thing I really like about Obama is that he expects us ~ the American people ~ to reclaim our citizenship. Name another Presidential candidate who is saying that? Not one other.

Barack Obama's natural talent to "speak" to those across national borders would serve the Presidential office in ways that can't be learned. But we have pundits repeating the Clinton propaganda that Obama doesn't have the time spent in politics to be sufficient to step into the shoes of the Presidents of our past. Those of us who support Barack Obama for President see him as filling the shoes of the President of the future.

OBAMA FOR AMERICA OBAMA in Africa
From: firstrunfeaturesnyc of New York City

The following text was copied from the video poster's page:

ABOUT THE FILM: Barack Obama returns to his family's roots on an emotional journey to Kisumu, Kenya - land of his father - in this new documentary.

Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action, this timely documentary follows Senator Barack Obama as he travels to the land of his ancestry. From South Africa to Kenya to a Darfur refugee camp in Chad, Obama explores the vast continent that is gaining increasing importance in this age of globalization.

The heart of the film is Obama's emotional homecoming to Kisumu, Kenya - his father's former home - where thousands of people turn out to greet him. In South Africa, we follow Senator Obama on a trip to Robben Island - the infamous prison where Nelson Mandela was jailed for 21 years. At a Darfur refugee camp in Chad, we see, through Obama's eyes, the devastating effects of genocide.

Throughout it all, Senator Obama narrates the film, giving his own perspective on the journey and the significance of Africa to U.S. interests.

Additional perspective is included through interviews with experts on African affairs, as well as with U.S. political commentators.

HEY CHRIS MATTHEWS STOP PLAYING SOFT BALL WITH PAT BUCHANAN

...........................................................

...........................................................
JOHN F KENNEDY on EXPERIENCE and the Presidency.

As I watched MSNBC's Chris Matthews' Hardball tonight, I heard Pat Buchanan say how Hillary Clinton showed "experience" with her comments regarding the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. And furthermore, that it was so important today on the campaign trail . This was Pat Buchanan's line mostly, but, even Matthews was on the same line.

Pat Buchanan said Wednesday (December 26) on Hardball, that his Republican party was counting on Hillary to bring his party together. I noticed last night how he repeated the same mudslinging done by the Hillary camp of Barack Obama. Buchanan wants Hillary to win the nomination because he believes that his Republican party has a better chance to win against her. He feels Hillary will bring together his splintered party. And tonight, Buchanan kept up his pushing of Hillary ~ like he's part of her team. It is obvious ~ at least to me ~ that he is a Hillary pusher because he sees Hillary as a Republican galvanizing object. He feels Hillary will stimulate his uninspired Republican base. And Chris Matthews lets him get away with it. And I like Chris, but he is not playing Hardball with Buchanan.

It is no secret ~ I am a supporter of
When a Hardball edited version of Barack Obama's comment on Bhutto's assassination was aired on Hardball and Matthews put Obama down about it, I was curious about what I didn't see. So thanks to Tommy, age 40 who lives in Munich, Germany (although from Oslo, Norway), I found the video of what Barack said today and watched his body language.

I love it when I see people outside the USA so interested in our Presidential race that they take the time to obtain these videos and upload them.
...........................................................

...........................................................

Senator Barack Obama talks about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto while campaigning in Des Moines, Iowa.

And since, Chris Matthews was negative about Barack's words, I listened to the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown express his thoughts over Bhutto's assassination.
...........................................................

...........................................................

Compare the two. What do you think?

Furthermore, Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan made it sound like "experience" meant "knowing" Benazir Bhutto gave certain candidates an edge. I don't see that. I think they would maybe have had an edge "knowing" her and meeting her, if she was alive. But "assassination" disgustingly takes life. "Knowing her" now will have nothing to do with working with Pakistan through that "experience" of knowing Mrs. Bhutto. I heard these commentators tell me that now that Benazir Bhutto is dead, that the people who spoke to her were more viable candidates to be President. How does that work? They spoke to her, they knew her, they respected her. But now, sorrowfully, she is dead.

Sometimes, these commentators just get in the way of rational thought. Sometimes, they should stop talking long enough to think.

And Buchanan needs to stop plugging Hillary and putting down Barack. He's only doing it for his "hidden" agenda.

notaveragejoe made this video in favor of Barack Obama, concerning his EXPERIENCE versus that of Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. OBAMA '08!

I think we are fickle in this country. And I think we have the collective attention span of a two year old way too many times. When Barack Obama speaks, the world is already listening. I have pointed out before that people of other countries are posting positive and Presidential hopeful videos and accompanying comments on Youtube and Dailymotion. I don't know if other candidates are getting this universal support ~ but I would be surprised if they were. No other candidate transcends the same old tired Washington, D.C. "politics as usual" mentality like Senator Obama. Here you have an article: Obama travels to Africa for a 5-nation tour

And the reaction on this 5-nation tour was really, really good. And this is a good thing. "Experience" is fine. But some of our best leaders are natural born leaders ~ and I believe Barack Obama is one of those.

Obama in Africa TME article on Obama in Africa

And this thing about "rolling the dice" with Barack Obama ~ here's what I have to say about that: There isn't one candidate that we wouldn't be rolling the dice with. None on them have been in the unique position of President of the United States of America. And being the spouse of a President whom you weren't talking to because he was doing the hanky panky in the Oval Office for some of that time doesn't give you a leg up on experience.

BARACK OBAMA ON DARFUR ~ THE UNITED STATES HAS A MORAL OBLIGATION

All the branches of the government of a democracy ideally work together for the good of not only individuals, but for communities, locally and globally. The branches of government are executive, legislature and judiciary.Branches

But the most important part of this government is the "We The People" part. And if "We The People" don't get involved and stay informed about what our elected politicians are doing in our name, then we can likely get a government that will run roughshod over the United States Constitution with impunity. Apathy is not a good thing. Being dismissive of the actions of our leaders can get us into a place of losing our rights even those constitionalized.

Every citizen has to figure out what kind of government he or she wants.
Stephen Breyer

Grass roots activism is a responsibility and yet the per centage of Americans who exercise the responsible actions to be proactive in our country and government lobbying is more rare than the norm.

The most important political office is that of the private citizen.
Louis D. Brandeis

I heard Senator Barack Obama quote that last one last summer.

I want a country that makes me proud of its actions, its moral values and stands out as the leader of human rights. I don't feel proud of my country under the Bush administration. It sickens me to be blunt.

Standing by while a group of human beings are being targeted to be eliminated ~ and we know it ~ is not acceptable.

GENOCIDE STOPS WITH US

THIS BELONGS TO YOU ~ THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

In the United States, the oath of office for the President of the United States is specified in the U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1):

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

I am a campaign volunteer for Senator Barack Obama for President. I am committed to Obama for ’08.

At the same time, I am impressed with other democrats who are also running for President. I can’t remember a time in my lifetime when we have had such a good selection of people giving us a choice for electing a leader to lead us. Except, for Hillary Clinton, who I have recently turned against. I no longer trust her.

Senator Dodd said that he would filibuster FISA Bill today (December 17) "as long as I can". www.msnbc

Earlier today when asked whether the Senators running for President ~ Hillary, Obama, Biden ~ would be on hand to support Chris Dodd's planned filibuster of the Senate FISA bill containing telecom immunity. First out of the box with a statement was Obama:

"Senator Obama unequivocally opposes giving retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies and has cosponsored Senator Dodd's efforts to remove that provision from the FISA bill. Granting such immunity undermines the constitutional protections Americans trust the Congress to protect. Senator Obama supports a filibuster of this bill, and strongly urges others to do the same. It's not clear whether he can return for the vote, but under the Senate rules, the side trying to end a filibuster must produce 60 votes to cut off debate. Whether he is present for the vote for not, Senator Obama will not be among those voting to end the filibuster."

Senators Edward Kennedy and Russ Feingold assisted Senator Chris Dodd with his filibustering effort for our U.S. Constitutional rights to be upheld against the Bush administration providing retroactive immunity to Verizon and AT&T.

"My longstanding concerns were over this retroactive immunity" for telecommunications companies, Dodd said after Reid declared the FISA bill would be set aside. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pulled the Senate FISA renewal bill containing telecom immunity off the floor.

I am, also, impressed with freshman Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from my state of Rhode Island, who replaced Senator Lincoln Chafee January 2007. Senator Whitehouse has not only voted well on behalf of the people of Darfur, but he has been outspoken at times when others have not. Senator Whitehouse asked appropriate and pointed questions of the former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and asked the right question of the then nomination candidate Michael Mukasey for Attorney General:

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D), Rhode Island: So is waterboarding constitutional?

MICHAEL MUKASEY: I don't know what's involved in the technique. If waterboarding is torture, torture is not constitutional.

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE: If it's torture? That's a massive hedge. I mean, it either is or it isn't. Do you have an opinion on whether waterboarding, which is the practice of putting somebody in a reclining position, strapping them down, putting cloth over their faces, and pouring water over the cloth to simulate the feeling of drowning, is that constitutional?

MICHAEL MUKASEY: If it amounts to torture, it is not constitutional.

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE: I'm very disappointed in that answer. I think it is purely semantic.

I VOTED TWICE FOR BILL CLINTON, USED TO STAND UP FOR HILLARY ~ But NO More

OBAMA ‘08

I became a democrat when I grew up ~ the sole democrat in my family and raised in an extremely conservative fundamentalist church . I still visit that church when I go back to Huntington, Indiana. This past summer I went to the Wednesday night Bible class at this church. They were doing a series on the Bible and politics. The minister asked us which law we think stands out the most and deserves our attention. I volunteered, “that’s easy ~ the Patriot Act.” But immediately, the discussion was dominated by a woman who went on about why abortion is the most important issue of the country, clearly.

Onto the Hillary hijacking the important discussion of issues about the USA, the world and politics being responsible . . .

Did Hillary hire a Karl Rove wannabe? It sure looked like it when I watched the sleezy body language, backed up by the words of her campaign strategist, Mark Penn on MSNBC’s Chris Matthews’ Hardball last night. A swaying Mark Penn smiled the entire time while he brought up what he said was over. Both David Axelrod and Joe Trippi, strategists for Barack Obama and John Edwards were classy while Mark Penn continued his slime tactical errors.

When Bill Clinton was continuously attacked during his two terms as President he was sidetracked from dealing with issues that should have been dealt with. One example was the Monica Lewinsky period ~ the one that Bill Clinton ~ “did not have sexual relations with that woman” media hype. I learned later when I read books on the 1994 Rwandan genocide that Clinton chose to do nothing to help diffuse the heightening problems in Rwanda which was at this time. I had always liked Bill Clinton and stood up for him and Hillary when they were bad-mouthed in the teachers’ room. But this one thing turned me against Bill after he was out of office.

But I still respected Hillary. And when this Presidential season started I was tuned in right away. Mostly because I am so disgusted with the Bush lies, the human rights disregard and our international reputation negative factors. But when I finally got cable TV this year, I was able to watch nightly shows that enabled me to stay up-to-the-minute informed. I am a Darfur activist so I also am involved politically because we need political leaders to step up and do right by the people of Darfur where nearly a five year old genocide is being waged supported by the Sudanese government, China and Russia’s support on the UN Security Council and our investments through companies that invest in Sinopec and PetroChina in Sudan.

I was born April 2, 1949. Hillary Rodham Clinton was born October 26,1947. We are of the same generation. World War II ended in 1945. I have a B.S. and a M.M. I consider myself to be a person of principle and integrity, articulate and politically liberal. I am working as a volunteer for the Barack Obama campaign for President of the United State of America. As I posted previously, I'm not against Hillary, but I am for Barack. But that has all changed. I am now against Hillary.

When George Bush had others doing his dirty work for him when he campaigned for his two terms of the Presidency, he got off by many. But when campaigns are allowed to be slinging things for the purpose of affecting people’s image of a candidate’s character ~ it reflects on the candidate. Hillary has not removed herself from the dirty tricks campaigning by her staff. She in reality condones it.

She herself is so vulnerable but you haven’t heard anyone slinging mud about her or Bill.
She was elected United States Senator from New York on November 7, 2000. She has been in politics since 2001. No one has mentioned the possibilities of our country’s serious problems not getting addressed because Bill may once again stray or the Clinton attackers will start up again with earnest if she is the democratic nominee. And yet her camp, is saying she is the safe candidate because she has been vetted and we know what we are getting.

Yes, in a way. But no.

What Hillary SAID, is not true, as it turns out

Hillary is smart. But her campaign has taken a road following the Republican Play Book. Irrelevant and side-tracking trickery. And she is the one who criticized the use of the Republican Play Book in regards to the democratic Presidency race.

If you care about this country’s political health you wouldn’t be wasting our time with the “Dirty Tricks”, Hillary.

Last night, her strategist, Mark Penn, said she was the candidate for change. Really? So she jumped from running as the “experienced" candidate that she has been claiming trumps all and that she is? Campaigning without “Dirty Tricks” would be a change. And Hillary is not showing us that “change”.

"...I was a big Hillary Clinton supporter when this race started. ... I kept seeing this disconnect because the candidate I was supporting wasn’t focused on the same things I was focused on. And I finally said no, I’m not going to stay a supporter of hers anymore. So yesterday, I pulled her campaign sign out of my front lawn and put a Barack Obama sign in its place. ...So today, I’m proud to call myself an Obama supporter. And I hope you’ll share my story with anyone you think is also tired of silly attacks, and interested in bringing about real change." Susan Klopfer

Hillary can’t be an instrument for change and run her campaign in the old style of smearing her oppoent, Barack Obama. This is OLD SCHOOL POLITICS. It is playing the game in the same old, same old way that many of us are ~ to put it mildly ~ sick of.

Never in my life, have I worked on any candidate’s campaign. But I am now. Barack Obama has integrity. And that is my number one desired quality that I want in my President. I don’t see Hillary behaving with integrity, especially since her Obama smearing tactics have gone into swing. I can put my trust in Senator Obama, but I cannot into what I see of Hillary and her “mouths”.

Senator Clinton claims to have apologized to Barack today at the airport about this last smear, but she didn’t really mean it. The proof for me is that she allowed her number one strategist, Penn, continue to put the smear front and center on TV last night while saying it was over and after her pretend apology.

I smell a rat.


Here is a relatively recent article about Hillary and her flip-flopping personality and pretend characteristics:

Ouch! Hillary Clinton's softer image is clawed over dumped cat
timesonline.co.uk

We could all dig up stuff on Hillary. The material is ripe. I remember stories of when she was First Lady that are not complimentary about her. And the subject of Bill’s potential indiscretions is always a possible deterrent from what should be on a President’s concentration.
