Mother Jones - Comments for "Seeing Bobby Kennedy in Barack Obama"

Bush committed hate crimes with the stench of terrorism

Speaking of Barack Obama: Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush. George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog). George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes. And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. Bush is a psychological prisoner. Bush has a lot to worry about. Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY” BLOG OF ANDREW YU-JEN WANG ______________________ I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

Barack y el Clan Kennedy se unen las dos fuerzas por el cambio de la humanidad..este ejemplo se debe practicar en todas las naciones y pueblos del mundo

I see the resembelence in the two WHAT A GREAT ARTICLE

I see President Carter in Obama (not Bobby Kennedy). Carter was (allegedly) the "human rights" Democrat president who followed another Republican era that was discovered to be corrupt (the Nixon/Ford era). Carter and his foreign policy advisor (the same person who was recently interviewed on British BBC TV, claiming to be Obama's foreign policy advisor) created the mess that still faces US and British troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan (with British MI6 and SAS assistance), and which civilians in those countries are now stuck with. It has destroyed both of those countries. They also created the current Islamist terrorist problem by arming and training the Islamist mujahideen. I'm getting fed up with people saying that Obama has "restored faith in America" in countries around the world. Have any of the people who say this actually asked any of us who live in foreign countries whether we think this is so? Many of us are not anti-American, but we want independence from the US. This means independence from the CIA, as well as independence from whichever political faction controls the Whitehouse. We want the CIA to stop controlling our political parties. We will wait and see what Obama and the CIA actually do before we join in the Obama adulation. We have noticed the current tendency to blame all of the ills of the US past onto the Bush/Cheney regime so that Obama can come in as a "new broom" with CIA support - with no specific mention of recent US war crimes by either side during the election campaign. Some of us think that Obama and McCain represent the two sides of a power struggle between the CIA and US military intelligence. The CIA have also been responsible for a lot that was wrong, and a lot of it has been going on for much longer than the start of the Cheney/Bush era.

Bobby Kennedy is still an inspiration to the young generation of Americans. I was born two decades too late to see the progressive ideology he campaigned for in the '60's - that of the potential of an empowered human being. Nonetheless, we have the opportunity now to pick up where American politics left off 40 years ago, with a president and a government who will hear appeals such as this with an ear and a mind to serve not only business, but humanity.

Hillary Clinton mentioned Bobby Kennedy’s name and the Press relentlessly attacked her which many people feel was the beginning of the end for Hillary and the turning point for Barack Obama in the Democratic Primaries.

Now, we find out that Bill Ayers dedicated his book to Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Bobby Kennedy, and called Sirhan Sirhan a “Political Prisoner” and called for the release of Sirhan Sirhan and what do we hear from the Press now?

“CRICKETS”

Do we need to elect a President who is “close” to a former terrorist who has praised and called for the release of a US Presidential Assassin?

Do we really need to elect a guy who worked extensively with Bill Ayers and kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers’ house and give millions of dollars of education grant money to radical programs designed to teach children to be radicals like Bill Ayers?

- Bill Ayers wrote about Obama in his book and stated that they were “close.”

- Obama provided a review for Ayers book describing it as “searing, timely and courageous.”

- Obama kicked off his campaign in Ayers house

- Obama and Ayers served together from 1995 to 2002 on two different Boards during which time Ayers repeatedly stated to the Press he did not regret the bombings, wished he had done more bombings and may even do it again

- Obama and Ayers were both close friends and dinner companions with Rashid Khalidi a former PLO spokesman

The right to a Free Press was a cornerstone of our Republic. Barack Obama has bought the press. The Press in America is no longer Free.

Watch this video to see how unfair the Press was to Hillary and how they just let Barack Obama get away with anything:

With our economy going into a slump, why is it that political figures are destroying valid financial options? Payday loans are an essential part of the U.S. financial system, providing loans to those who have bad or no credit that need the money fast. Yet, for one reason or another, legislators are targeting this financial system. Some states, such as Georgia and North Carolina, have even banned the industry all together! The politics behind it is simple; banks are lobbying the legislators to try and destroy their oncoming competition, and the legislators are falling for it. Even taking out the fact that banks are trying to take away your financial choices and freedoms so they can have a monopoly on loans, the corruption of our politics is simply wrong. Our opinions must be heard, and our freedom of choice, financial or not, should not be dampened on the soul fact on one person's financial gain.

The short term financial assistance that payday lenders offer, often are one of the fastest and safest ways out of a sticky financial situation if used responsibly. Unfortunately, people of somewhat political importance don’t see it this way, probably because they have never been in a situation that would require a little help from the payday loan industry. These bipartisan efforts to outlaw the entire industry just go to show how detached they are from real Americans. Get educated on the facts today and exercise your right to financial freedom on November 4th.

Failed gotcha previously. Rideway did not say that Johnson lost New Hampshire. He only said he did poorly which was the universal judgement at the time. I didn't need to look it up. I was paying attention at the time.

Lyndon Johnson did not get us into the Vietnam war, it was already going on. Eisenhower first got us into it. Please find out the truth before you babble on.

I was alive for the John Kennedy presidentcy, and Loved the work of Bobby Kennedy. I do not see Bobby in Obama at all.

James, a tough and perceptive guy like you shouldn't let faulty memories of RFK turn him into something he wasn't. Read a few histories of the period like "Carry Me Home", by Diane McWhorter. RFK and Obama may be alike, but not in the way you described. Ralph Nader is still Ralph Nader.

an informal set of notes

if i'm not mistaken Sargent Shriver created Legal Services, through the war on poverty. this empowered low income Americans to take city governments and companies to court to protect their rights. placing the law on the side of working people.

i disagree with parts of your argument against the succeses of the sixties anti poverty programs.

i have to go to work ...

Thank you Mr. Ridgeway. The RFL speech brought back memories of Bobby speaking at the University I was attending. I got within 6 feet of him. This was a red state university, as conservative as they get, but there was Bobby drawing us in. It was a turning point in my life, just being there.
