(8,582 posts)I guess this is all they have to work with to bash Obama.

Or about Bill Ayers, for that matter.

(5,610 posts)I did not like the fact that President Obama felt (his advisor's probably) it necessary to dis-associate himself with any Progressive that he had associated with. I am white and all I ever heard the Rev. Wright say was truth. When he turned his back on the progressive influences in his life and had that Nazi preacher speak at his inauguration, I was disappointed.
Sadly, in the 21st century, in America, the reality is that if you are associated with anyone of the 99% (even the few in the 1%) who dares speak truth to power, you are not "viable."
I wonder if President Obama attended M.L.K. jr.'s church (if he were still alive), would the President have been compelled to leave his flock? I think so...
What will it take before "we the people" put an end to this master/serf bullshit? Unless we can get an MSM that is not corporate controlled, we stand little chance of educating the masses and ending corporate governance. Sadly, we do have great independent media sources in America (Democracy Now, RT, etc.) yet the people do not realize the incentive (being honestly informed) to seek these alternative news sources out.
It would be great (ok, after the election) if President Obama were to announce to the world, that if they want real news, they need to ignore our current MSM and watch these real, informative, news sources...
I guess I should wake-up now...

(8,582 posts)Right now the media is wanting high ratings so they make it out as if it is a close race. I play along with this. What choice do I really have anyway. But, I think Obama is religious, he just doesn't feel his Presidency and Government mix, so he doesn't talk religion much.

I don't remember many ads about Obama's middle name either, though maybe there were and I either missed them or forgot about them.

(1 post)Is there an on-line broker that supports Democratic causes? Where can I move my stocks from TD Ameritrade? I must stop supporting TDA immediately.

(18,470 posts)Dump places like TD Ameritrade in favor of other companies. Doing business with places like TDA provides money for this sort of crap.

(182,990 posts)After hours of backlash from both Republicans and Democrats, Ricketts, commissioner of the ad campaign and founder of the brokerage firm TD Ameritrade -- and whose family owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team -- said the plan was merely one of several proposals his group was considering.
Brian Baker, who heads the conservative super PAC supported by Ricketts, said Ricketts would not approve the scheme, as it "reflects an approach to politics that Mr. Ricketts rejects."

(482 posts)not do this just to avoid looking like McCain.
I think that Romney is by far more intelligent than Jet Crash Forrestal Fire McCain but at the same time he is as much a waffler as McCain. They are truly twin sons of different mothers. I suspect Romney will lose by even more than McCain did.
Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)he deserves to lose more than John "McMuffin" McCain did. McMuffin at least had the decency to correct the GOPher who said "I don't trust Obama--he's an Arab." Willard didn't do anything to the GOPher at his rally who declared that Obama "should be tried for committing treason."
