The Obama camp is upset with John McCain because he disclosed that the young Senator was on his way to the Middle East. The camp is upset because they have closely guarded the information regarding his departure even though the major networks have mobilized to follow him around like Bill Clinton following the scent of an intern.

For weeks now, Barack Obama has closely guarded the details of his planned fact-finding trips to Afghanistan and Iraq, citing security concerns.

But Friday, the Democratic presidential hopeful’s Republican rival, John McCain, may have let the secret out of the bag - infuriating some Obama supporters and putting Camp McCain on the defensive. Daily News

I understand the need for a certain amount of secrecy in order to ensure safety but the news has been abuzz about the anointed one and his trek across the world. The supposed “fact finding mission” is really a campaign ploy which explains why Obama has an army of advisers to keep him from making a mistake that might cost him votes. However, the reality of the situation is that a lot of people knew the Messiah was leaving the country and a lot had a pretty good idea when he was doing it.

The Democrats have long believed that more taxes are the answer to every problem we face. They tax anything and they increase the taxes on everything just to cover their out of control spending. Of course there are those who defend the so called “progressives” and indicate that higher taxes are necessary but that is foolish thinking by people who either don’t pay taxes, hide their income so they are not subjected to taxes, or don’t understand how a budget is supposed to work.

The cost of gasoline is hurting a lot of people in this country. Gasoline went from a little over $2.00 a gallon when the Democrats took control of Congress to over $4.00 a gallon now. Fair or not, it happened on their watch and if they can blame all that is evil on Republicans when they had control then turn about is certainly fair play.

Jesse Jackson said it was a redemptive campaign. Obama’s foreign policy wisdom has caused great joy in moonbat-ville tonight. Only problem, it is all predicated upon a mistake.

The MSM and the Internet are all atwitter as liberals frolic at the news that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has agreed with the Messiah, Barry Obama. A German publication quoted Maliki as agreeing with the Messiah on a 16 month withdraw plan for US forces. I have been reading the reports of this at ABC’s Political Punch and the liberals are having multiple orgasms. They are thanking Obama and attributing all this to his vast foreign policy experience. The only problem in all this is that Maliki never said that he agreed with Obama. He was either misquoted or his statement was mistranslated.

The ban on people with HIV coming to this country could soon be lifted if SB 2731 is enacted. This is a very stupid idea for several reasons.

People with HIV have a disease for which there is no cure. If they come here the chance of others getting infected increases but only because they are now here and can have contact. However, the chances of infection is especially greater for health care workers who might be exposed as the person’s need for health care services increases (as the disease progresses).

If people come here with this disease they will be entering into our health care system. It is unlikely they will have health insurance or the means to pay for their care so the burden of that cost will be borne by US taxpayers.

The people with the disease will eventually become too sick to work (assuming they get a job in the first place) so they will eventually be receiving welfare checks. This will add more financial burdens to the US taxpayer.

Unless the people with HIV are engaging in risky behavior the risk to others is nearly absent except for health care workers so this is not a consideration. Diseases like Tb kept people out because they were highly contagious but with HIV there must be direct blood or body fluid contact.

However, the disease is costly to treat and the people coming here will not be paying for it. The US taxpayer will be footing the bill and that is not what our tax dollars should be paying for. People with HIV should stay in their own countries and get their treatment at the expense of their government or international organizations.

It is wrong to expect us to pay for their illness when they have contributed nothing to our society. It is bad enough we are paying for all the illegals who are here.

There have been disturbing reports that people who oppose Barack Obama have received death threats and have had their property vandalized. One person had a site up with a petition to get Obama’s birth certificate released (the real one, not the photo shopped Kos copy) but he had to take the site down because of death threats that included information like his address.

A group of women who supported Hillary Clinton in the primary and who still support her have formed a group that is opposed to the Obamination. A number of them have received death threats and that list of victims continues to grow. The latest victim received several email threats and a phone call before someone set fire to a tree on her property. A woman who runs the Hillary is my girl website is that victim.

Two weeks later as PUMA began to gain attention the Campaign began bothering me again. I received an email and then the phone calls started.
One evening I received a phone call another death threat and then shortly after my son came in and yelled fire. Someone set my tree on fire. The fire department said the fire was arson.

I do not care for Hillary Clinton and I would never vote for her because I do not agree with her politics and I believe she is a criminal. Having said that, no one should be threatened or have their property vandalized because of who they back politically. This same thing happened in 2004 when Democrats keyed cars with Bush bumper stickers and set Bush/Cheney signs on fire. These acts are unacceptable and do not help any candidate.

I am here to say that I oppose Barack Obama. He is a Socialist and he is a disaster waiting to happen. He lacks leadership ability and the only thing that helps him is a charisma that mesmerizes weak minded people and lures them into robotic servitude. I cannot stand his politics and I think he is a typical mob like Chicago politician (and the terror tactics show it) and he will say or do anything to get elected. Having said that, if the Obama terrorists don’t like it they can take their death threats and go straight to hell.

The unfortunate thing is these liberals who are being threatened probably have no means to protect themselves because liberals are not in favor of guns. Who knows, maybe now they will become bitter and start clinging to guns like the rest of the unenlightened.

I hope that the terrorists in the Al-Obama camp are caught and prosecuted and I hope these tactics damage the Messiah’s chances of winning.

To the PUMAs I say, I don’t support Hillary but I respect your right to do just that. I wish you safety and hope they catch whomever is committing these crimes.

Now, is it any wonder Obama wants to make nice with the terrorists?
