I have dozens of articles outlining Obama's lies and flip-flops. I'm not sure how many will be allowed on the Huffington Post, but I shall start with this one:

OBAMA FLIP-FLOP ON JERUSALEM: In His Remarks To The Annual AIPAC Policy Conference, Obama Said That Jerusalem Should Be The Undivided Capital Of Israel, But Later Said The City's Future Should Be Negotiated By Israel And The Palestinians:

On Wednesday, Obama Said Jerusalem Would Be The Undivided Capital Of Israel. Obama: "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At The Annual AIPAC Policy Conference, Arlington, VA, 6/4/08)

One Day Later, Obama Said The Future Of Jerusalem Would Have To Be Negotiated By Israel And The Palestinians. CNN's Candy Crowley: "I want to ask you about something you said in AIPAC yesterday. You said that Jerusalem must remain undivided. Do Palestinians have no claim to Jerusalem in the future?" Obama: "Well, obviously, it's going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues." (CNN's "The Situation Room," 6/5/08)

"Facing Criticism From Palestinians, Sen. Barack Obama Acknowledged Today That The Status Of Jerusalem Will Need To Be Negotiated In Future Peace Talks, Amending A Statement Earlier In The Week That Jerusalem 'Must Remain Undivided.'" (Glenn Kessler, "Obama Clarifies Remarks On Jerusalem," The Washington Post's "The Trail," Blog, www.washingtonpost.com, 6/5/08) posted 06/15/2008 at 00:19:09

Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Whether you write-in Hillary, if possible, vote for John McCain, or sit out the election, right now, for the sake of our families and our country, WE MUST DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER to assist in the defeat of the inexperienced, ruthless, deceptive, divisive, racist black liberation theology believing, race card throwing Obama. We can always come back to the Democratic Party if and when they show a desire to respect our participation, and field an acceptable candidate. posted 06/10/2008 at 13:18:36

Obama is NOT the candidate of "unity," but the exact opposite. How can he claim to be a "uniter" when his religion is based upon racism, i.e. black liberation theology. Here is a statement from James H. Cone, the founder of black liberation theology, about the nature of Obama's religion.

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal."

Here is a link to Obama"s church where they admit they preach black liberation theology, and that it is based on the teachings of James H. Cone.

Democrats have found that Pelosi, Dean and the party elite are no better than their counterparts in the Republican Party. It's really all about politics, not the will of the voters. So, what we find is a party hierarchy which sanctions and supports the disenfranchisement of voters in Michigan and Florida, the inherent unfairness of the caucus system, and the obviously inappropriate bias of the leadership against Hillary Clinton. The hypocrisy of these charlatans is mind boggling. Take Kerry, who lost the election in 2004 amidst charges of voter fraud in Ohio. Now, he supports Obama, whose lawyers actively prevented a revote in Michigan and Florida, just to further his selfish political ambitions. Since when has the Democratic Party become the party of disenfranchisement; the party of making excuses for the racist and anti-American rants of a Rev. Wright? Since when has some of the party rank and file also endorsed these things, so long as it helps their candidate win? No, there doesn't appear to be much difference after all between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, at least when it comes to fairness and voter rights. I have been a lifelong Democrat, but the actions of the party have destroyed my faith. I think that is why between 30% to 40% of Hillary Clinton supporters have said they would vote for McCain rather than Obama. The Democratic Party, and many of its members, have shown that they are no better than the worst of the Republicans. posted 06/05/2008 at 15:54:24

OBAMA LIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AD
From NBC/NJ"s Aswini Anburajan
GREENBURG, Pa. -- The Clinton campaign today accused the Obama campaign of "false advertising," claiming that a recent ad Obama released in Pennsylvania was disngenous because Obama has been the recipient of more than $200,000 from the oil and gas industry.
In the ad, Obama says, "I'm Barack Obama, and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, and I won't let them block change any more."
Obama has taken $213,884 from the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29th, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Sen. Hillary Clinton has taken $306,813 in that same period.
Two of Obama's campaign bundlers are also CEOs for oil and gas companies, per a list released on his campaign Web site.
Robert Cavnar, listed as a bundler who has raised between $50,000 to $100,000 for the campaign, is the chairman and CEO of Mission Resources Corp., a Houston-based firm. George Kaiser, also listed in the same $50,000 to $100,000 category, is the CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Company.
"It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said. "Senator Obama says he doesn't take campaign contributions from oil companies but the reality is that Exxon, Shell, and others are among his donors."

I don't believe ulahane was discussing the current polls or circumstances. He/she was discussing Obama's chances in the general election against McCain. Obama has many weaknesses which can be exploited by McCain, not the least of which are his dubious associations (Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Odinga, etc.) All it's going to take is a 527 running 24/7 video clips of Wright saying G** D*** America spliced with Obama saying he's like an uncle to him, and his support with many will diminish. posted 03/30/2008 at 21:44:11

Actions speak much louder than words. Yes, Obama can read a teleprompter better than anyone since Ronald Reagan, but his 20 year close relationship with his racist and anti-American "mentor and spiritual adviser," speaks volumes about his character and judgment. Would you, harriscrl3, attend a racist church for 20 years and consider it's racist minister your "mentor and spiritual adviser?" I know I wouldn't. If I stepped into a church, the first time the pastor made a derogatory statement about "black people" I would be out of there, never to return. But then again, I'm not a racist. posted 03/30/2008 at 21:38:40

OBAMA WILL NOT COOPERATE IN RELEASING 8 YEARS OF HIS STATE SENATE RECORDS
Judicial Watch: Obama "intended to leave no paper trail"
By Klaus Marre
Posted: 03/26/08 01:01 PM [ET]
The president of a prominent watchdog group said Wednesday that he believes Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "intended to leave no paper trail" during his time in the Illinois Senate.

Judicial Watch, which has been seeking access to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton"s (D-N.Y.) records from her time in the White House, argued Wednesday that the Illinois senator, who has criticized the former first lady for a lack of openness, has his own "records problem."
"The more we learn about the Illinois Senator, the more obvious it becomes that he is anything but the ethically upright outsider he purports to be," said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch.
The group rose to prominence when it repeatedly took on former President Bill Clinton during his time in office. It also sought records from the Bush administration regarding Vice President Dick Cheney"s energy task force.
In a statement, Fitton noted that his group has sought access to Obama"s records as a state senator and questioned whether the presidential candidate has been forthcoming with regard to what happened to those documents.
He said that "nobody knows where they are, if they exist at all" and claimed that "Obama"s story keeps changing." posted 03/30/2008 at 19:20:50

Please tell me in what context you would find the following statement acceptable:

OBAMA: DIRTY POLITICIAN FROM THE START: Chicago Sun-Times"A close examination of Obama"s first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: Obama, who runs on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless, first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. Alice Palmer, friend and mentor to Obama, served the district in the Illinois Senate for much of the 1990s. Decades earlier, she was a community organizer in the area when Obama was growing up in Hawaii. She risked her safe seat to run for Congress and touted Obama as a suitable successor. But when Palmer lost the congressional race, her supporters asked Obama to fold his campaign so she could easily retain her state Senate seat. Obama not only refused to step aside for the woman who was his friend and had recommended him for the seat, he filed challenges that nullified Palmer"s hastily gathered nominating petitions, forcing her to withdraw. Had Palmer survived the petition challenge, Obama would have faced the daunting task of taking on an incumbent senator. "He wondered if we should knock everybody off the ballot. How would that look?" said Ronald Davis, the paid Obama campaign consultant whom Obama referred to as his "guru of petitions." Davis filed objections to all four of Obama"s Democratic rivals at the candidate"s behest. All other candidates were disposed of by Obama"s challenges. He then went on to win the election.

Let me help you; obviously you are terribly misinformed. First, Google Jeremiah Wright and James Cone. That will clue you into not only their relationship, but their shared believe in black liberation theology. The, fact-check the statements I have quoted above, and you will find that Obama's religion is BASED on racism. So, your lame argument that Rev. Wright was taken out of context has no merit, period.

OBAMA BUYING THE DELEGATES:
These are the latest figures from an article in the Seattle Times:
Since 2005, Obama's PAC has donated $710,900 to superdelegates, more than three times as much as Clinton's PAC. Her PAC distributed $236,100 to superdelegates during the same time.
The study found that the presidential candidate who gave more money to the superdelegates received their endorsements 82 percent of the time. That's based on a review of elected officials who are serving as superdelegates and who had endorsed a candidate as of Feb. 25. posted 03/30/2008 at 14:48:00

OBAMA"S RELIGION
News Type: Opinion " Mon Mar 17, 2008
When Rev. Wright got into a spitting contest with TV host Sean Hannity last year, he at one point refused to answer Hannity's badgering questions and kept asking Hannity "Have you read James Cone, what do you know about black theology? Have you read Cone?"
James Cone is one of he founders, some say the founder, of Black Liberation Theology. Rev. Jeremiah Wright's ministry, his beliefs about America, and about life itself are formed by his attraction to and acceptance of the writings of James Cone.
Let's look at some quotes from James Cone.

The time has come for white America to be silent and listen to black people.
All white men are responsible for white oppression.

Regarding Hillary"s Irish question, here is an account from a newspaper today: While much credit needs to go to the people of Northern Ireland, Great Britan, and the Republic of Ireland, credit must go to the Clinton Administration as well. President Bill Clinton appointed former Senator and Federal Judge George Mitchell to lead an international body to assist the participants in the peace process. Mitchell was the right person, at the right time for this job. His skills were evident when he learned the last person signed the agreement. Mitchell called a meeting of all parties 15 minutes later. That proved to be the right move to build relationships necessary to move the process along over the last decade. But there is another person to thank for the ten year peace. That person is Hillary Clinton. She's got women involved in the process. Many observers beleive that it was the women's involvement that was the turning point in the negotiations. George Mitchell said Hillary Clinton's role was "significant." Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein, John Hume of the Social Democrat and Labor Party, and David Trimble of the Ulster Unionists have said that Hillary Clinton was helpful in bringing the parties together. They not only say that now, but they said it back in 1997. Hillary Clinton visited Northern Ireland seven times, and knew - by name - the ninety members that were party to the negotiations.

OBAMA"S NEW PASTOR COMPARES REV. WRIGHT TO JESUS -- CHICAGO " The new pastor of Barack Obama"s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus" death at the hands of the Romans. In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its "state-sponsored terrorism," is facing the same challenges Jesus did."No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching," Moss said. "The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?" he continued. posted 03/24/2008 at 21:33:12

Yes, BardEric, there is much America does not know about Obama. This story, for example, flies in the face of all of Obama's high-minded rhetoric about being the candidate of "change," and shows that he never was that candidate.

The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week. Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department. posted 03/24/2008 at 21:19:14

OfficialA: Do you agree with these statements made by Rev. Wright's mentor, James Cone, which discuss the nature of Obama's religion, black liberation theology? (1) "To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people." (2) "While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism." (3) "All white men are responsible for white oppression." (4) "Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil."

Unenrolled: Even if what you say is true, which I do not, is Hillary's change of opinion on NAFTA anywhere near as important as Obama's lies about his contacts with the Canadian government? I think it is far worse to lie to the American people to win an election, while at the same time reassuring a foreign government that his campaign statements were not to be taken seriously. posted 03/24/2008 at 15:44:25

Let"s all be honest about this race issue. There is a huge double standard operating here, and whether one wants to admit it, I think it is rather obvious to us all. Hillary discusses Martin Luther King, Jr."s cooperation with Lyndon Johnson in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and Obama plays the race card. Bill Clinton tries to correct the false impression Obama has given about his alleged continual opposition to the Iraq war by calling Obama"s portrayal of his Iraq position a "fairy tale" and Obama plays the race card. (For those who doubt these last two statements, go back at look at the debate where Tim Russert busts Obama for four pages of press releases regarding these issues and the race card Obama was playing). Don Imus makes a racially insensitive statement on the air, and Obama calls for his firing and complains that he doesn"t want his children to be exposed to such things. Geraldine Ferraro made just one statement which Obama thought was inappropriate, and he hit the ceiling. However, we are supposed to ignore 20 years of racist and anti-American rants from Obama"s "mentor and spiritual adviser" because he made a good speech. WHY DON"T WE HOLD OBAMA TO THE SAME STANDARD HE HOLDS OTHERS? You Obama apologists, just admit it " it is your view that racist statements are only deplorable when made by those who have no connection to Obama. Go ahead and admit it, at least to yourself.

Obviously Obama cares, or he wouldn't have gone to a black liberation theology church for 20 years, and he wouldn't consider Wright his "mentor and spiritual adviser."

Yes, another scandal related to Obama's "mentor and spiritual adviser," this time about Hamas. True to form, here is Obama's response: A pro-Hamas op-ed printed in his church's bulletin is "outrageously wrong," Barack Obama said. "I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn"t in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin." *** If this Presidential race weren't so serious, Obama's constant backpedaling would be funny. It's almost like he is Captain Renault in the movie Casablanca when he walks into Rick's Cafe and say something like "I can't believe there is gambling here." What a joke. posted 03/24/2008 at 14:39:44

Hey, Mugford, the results in this one are in. Obama's chief economic adviser did meet with the Canadian official. When the news first broke, Obama denied that any such meeting took place. Then, when he was outed by the memo, he had to admit to the meeting, but now states that the memo was "inaccurate." Please read up before you speak. posted 03/24/2008 at 14:33:57

Obama has the Audacity to Hope that we are all stupid enough to forget that he lied about NAFTA, that he lies about his "continual" opposition to the Iraq war, that he plays the race card whenever things get too hot (for which he was busted by Tim Russert in one of the debates), that he is uncomfortably close to the indicted slumlord Rezko, that he has been going to a church for 20 years whose racist and anti-American pastor he calls his "mentor and spiritual advisor," that he has been exposing his innocent children to this hate speech for most of their lives, that he will throw his own grandmother under the bus to further his goals, and that he is now trying his best to disenfranchise millions of voters in Michigan and Florida to further his political ambitions. Yes, he has the Audacity to Hope . . . posted 03/24/2008 at 14:23:56

The "theology" that Wright teaches at his church is nothing like Christianity as most people understand it. The brand of theology which Wright has been teaching Obama and the others at his church is called "black liberation theology." Wright admits this and it is stated on the church's website. Black theology is based upon the premise of the white oppressor against the black oppressed. This is why, for example, that Wright refers to Jesus as black, and his killers as white. This is the only way the story of Jesus fits within this brand of "theology." Rev. Wright cites James Cone, another proponent of black liberation theology, as his theological inspiration. Here are just a couple of James Cone's quotes: (1) "To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people." (2) "While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism." (3) "All white men are responsible for white oppression." (4) "Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil." (5) "If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it." (6) "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.

What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." *** These teachings are fundamentally racist and divisive. Obama has chosen to belong to this racist church for 20 years, and now because of exposure by the press, he tries to fool the American public once again. posted 03/24/2008 at 14:17:36

Yes, I've read that Mother Jones article. So, we have one article in Mother Jones, as compared to video footage of Rev. Wright. So far, the Mother Jones article fits into the "Hillary killed Vince Foster" bag.

Your answer strains credibility.

I"M SURE OBAMA HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS, EITHER, EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED IN JULY OF 2007 -- JERUSALEM " Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter " which calls for the murder of Jews " to America's Declaration of Independence.
The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.
Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.

OBAMA"S NEW PASTOR COMPARES REV. WRIGHT TO JESUS -- CHICAGO " The new pastor of Barack Obama"s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus" death at the hands of the Romans. In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its "state-sponsored terrorism," is facing the same challenges Jesus did."No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching," Moss said. "The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?" he continued. posted 03/24/2008 at 11:05:54
