JFK also had a long-standing and famously painful back injury earned when PT109 was cut in half by a Japanese destroyer.

That would be while JFK, elitist son of a bootlegger and war-profiteer, was on active service with the US Navy in the Pacific.

Wow. You actually admit that you are voting for someone based upon skin color and not because of ability? Well... they say admitting a problem is the first step to solving it. Good luck.

"Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home. Barack was," Wright says in a video of the sermon posted on YouTube. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary! Hillary ain't never been called a ''n-word'!' Hillary has never had her people defined as a non-person." Source

"When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments," Obama wrote. "But because Rev. Wright was on the verge of retirement, and because of my strong links to the Trinity faith community, where I married my wife and where my daughters were baptized, I did not think it appropriate to leave the church."

You can pretend all you want that this is not important, but the reality is that this is very important.

2. On the January 22nd edition of "Meet the Press," Tim Russert and Obama
Russert: "So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?"

Obama: "I will not."

3. As another example, consider Obama's stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents,

4. Obama promised to use public funding in the general election if the Republican candidate would do so also. Well, McCain has agreed to it, but now Obama wants to back out of the deal.

5. "I've always been a Christian," the Illinois Democrat responded. "I have never practiced [Islam]."

In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran.

Barack and his mother moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, where Obama spent 4-5 years attending both Muslim and Catholic schools before his mother sent him back to the United States to live with his maternal grandmother. The school Barack Obama attended in Indonesia was "Muslim" primarily in the sense that the preponderance of its student body was Muslim (because Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country), but both the Muslim and Catholic schools he attended in Indonesia offered a few hours of religious instruction each week.

So you be the judge. Is Obama honest or not.

Of course Obamacons will find rationalizations the same way Clinton supporters found excuses for her sniper whopper.

It is obvious that you intentionally are ignoring the dishonesty of Obama's statements.

Don't forget the rest of the quotes that can be found here. Taking quotes out of context is a nasty, low way to "prove" a point.

"Everybody in; nobody out." A single-payer health-care plan, a universal health-care plan. That's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we've got to take back the White House, and we've got to take back the Senate, and we've got to take back the House.

Indeed, according to an Associated Press "Fact Check" of the January 21 Democratic debate, "Obama's words have shifted. But even in the 2003 video, he made it clear he didn't think single-payer could be achieved under current circumstances."
