Comments on: First Jewish President? http://hurryupharry.org/2008/06/04/first-jewish-president/ Liberty, if it means anything, is the right to tell people what they don't want to hear Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:12:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: kim http://hurryupharry.org/2008/06/04/first-jewish-president/comment-page-2/#comment-251655 kim Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:04:58 +0000 http://www.hurryupharry.org/2008/06/04/first-jewish-president/#comment-251655 Actually Thomas Jefferson was our first Jewish president. This may have been the most important election in our country's history, but it also was a big joke. First there is the fact that Obama is the first "black" president. Did anyone out there vote for him because he could save our nation in the crises that we are all facing? If he said he was going to raise taxes by 40% and everyone was going to suffer, would people have still voted for him? Just because he is the first black president, does not mean he is going to save you and me from the war in Iraq, crashing stock market, and recession our counrty is facing. Did evryone say, "Let's vote for Thomas Jefferson because he will be the first Jewish president"... I highly doubt it. What I am trying to say is just to make history, did we elect Obama, or was he elected because the counrty needs a change in political office. I guess we will see...

Like Sydney, the mistress of disguise in the Spy series, "Alias", Obama can be whatever you want him to be. Will be interesting to see if his lies ever hurt him or will he just float above them like Reagan and to a lesser extent Clinton did.

As he has done before, Gene makes a strong anti-Obama argument: Note the key phrase: "publicly over the past year". Gene -- and anyone else inclined to believe what Obama says -- should do two things: First, take a look at the record. Over and over again, news organizations that bothered to check what Obama has said about his past have found discrepancies, often serious discrepancies. (I just wrote about another one a few days ago.) Second, they should think about what Reverend Wright said, that Obama does what a politician does. If the reverend doesn't believe Obama, why should we? “I suppose you have to weigh on the one hand an unverified and vague comment from four years ago, and comments of others that Obama has specifically rejected; and on the other hand the clear and consistent positions Obama has taken publicly over the past year, and decide which is more significant.”
