Obama's Not Exactly's

Obama's Not Exactly's:

1.) Selma Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says "Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts."

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

The Truth About High Gas Prices

THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW
May 16, 2008

Gas Prices and the Blame Game
By Ed Feulner

With fill-ups routinely costing $60 or more, cost-
conscious drivers naturally look for someone to blame.
And just as naturally, politicians are happy to blame
others.

Enter "Big Oil," the demagogues' favorite villain. Gas
prices soaring? It's because oil companies want "excess
profits," as Barack Obama puts it. Right?

Wrong. The truth is more complicated.

Let's look to California, driving capital of the world.
Officials there watch gas prices carefully. During March
and April, a state analysis found that "distribution
costs, marketing costs and profits" made up about 10 cents
of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, which ranged from
$3.46 to $3.89. Notice that that dime is less than 3
percent of the total retail cost, and profits account
for only part of it. So those "excess profits" are actually
well below 3 percent of retail costs.

Of course, that's little comfort to tapped-out drivers.
And the big oil companies are certainly making big money
-- Exxon Mobil alone earned $40.6 billion last year. But
such profits follow naturally when a company sells a
product that so many people want to buy. Some recent
history offers us a bit of perspective.

In 1998, a recession in Asia created an oil glut. Prices
plunged to historic lows (near $10 a barrel), and
American drivers reaped the benefits, with gas dipping
below $1 per gallon. So how did Exxon fare in those days
of low prices?

According to Forbes magazine, Exxon earned more in
profits than any other American company in 1998. Sales
increased 3 percent over 1997 and profits jumped 12.6
percent, to $8.4 billion. Again, remember: Oil was
remarkably cheap that year, yet Exxon earned double-digit
profits. Few complained then.

The lesson is simple: When a company sells a product
people want, it tends to make money, in good times and
in bad. For years, oil has remained a product that
Americans want -- and today's high prices have done
little to change that.

It's also worth noting that oil companies are probably
the most investigated companies in America. Every few
years, outraged legislators demand that the Federal
Trade Commission determine whether oil companies are
colluding to inflate prices. Repeatedly, federal
regulators find that they aren't.

A few months ago the FTC said this about high gas prices:
"All of the increase can be attributed to increased crude
oil costs, because gasoline inventories are as ample as
they have been for several years, gasoline consumption
is declining to a near-record extent, and refining
margins -- the difference between the cost of crude oil
and the wholesale price of gasoline -- have fallen."

So who's making the big money? The countries that produce
crude oil. Crude represents more than half of the cost
of each gallon of gasoline sold. Federal, state and local
taxes represent another fifth.

Yet some insist we punish "big oil." During one pres-
idential debate, Hillary Clinton announced that "the
oil companies reported the highest profits in the history
of the world. I want to take those profits, and I want to
put them into a strategic energy fund."

But confiscating oil company profits is a lousy idea.
Profits are what keep them in business. It allows them
to invest in refining and delivery systems, and search
for new deposits of petroleum. Profits fuel our capital-
ist system as surely as petroleum fuels our national
economy. Plus, "big oil" returns billions to stock-
holders through dividends, and millions of Americans
own its stock through their mutual funds and 401(k)s.

The best way to cut prices in the long run would be to
increase supplies. Policymakers could help do this if
they would allow drilling off-shore and in a tiny
section of Alaska's barren Artic National Wildlife
Refuge.

It makes no sense to keep so much domestic oil off-
limits, especially with prices climbing. As long as we
do it, we'll pay more than we need to for each gallon
of gasoline and keep sending big profits overseas.
Let's stop stalling -- and start drilling.

A better Bio-Fuel

While the U.S. beats it's brains out and adds to food cost and shortages using corn, Brazil seems to have a better solution. Not only is it cheaper but more efficient. (see link below)

The Magic Frog

I was in Las Vegas and decided to play a round of golf. I made a Bogey on the first hole. As I walked up to the second tee I noticed a frog sitting near the tee. I pulled a nine iron from my bag and stepped up to the ball. The frog said "ribbet! 8 iron". Amazed that the frog could talk I decided to follow his direction. I took the 8 iron, hit the ball and it stopped about 10 inches from the hole. This pattern followed through the next 16 holes. The frog would tell me the proper club to use. I shot the best round of golf of my life. When I started for the club house the frog jumped on my cart and said "ribbet, casino". I thought "What the heck. I'll give it a try". I took the frog into the casino with me and as we walked pass the roulette, the frog said " ribbet, $5,000 on double zero" Well, the odds are really high on hitting double zero so I decided on only $3000. The wheel spun and I won. I won five times playing the number the frog told me to. I took my winning and me and the frog went up to my room. When we got to the room I ask the frog what I could do for him to pay him back for my good fortune. "Ribbit, kiss me"! Well, I had never kissed a frog but figured what the heck. I kissed the frog and the frog turned into a beautiful 18 year old girl.

And that is the truth of how this 18 year old girl got in my room Officer, or my name is not William Jefferson Clinton.

Goog Day At The Tournament

Tullis Clan had a good day at the Martial Arts tournament. All three kids brought home a first place trophy in sparring. Also won some medals in other contests. Really wish I could have gone to the Bloggers meeting but Grand kids come first.

Great Saturday at the Tournament.

Saturday at the Order Of The Dragon Martial Arts Tournament was a good day For the family. My Grandson (Black Belt) won a trophy and a Silver Metal in Weapons and Sparring. My Granddaughter also won a trophy and a Silver Metal in Sparring and Forms.
My Granddaughters friend who we have semi adopted Won a Trophy in Sparring and a Silver Metal in Forms also. Dom lives with his Grand Mother in the Cottonwood area and is a great kid. He is 17, carries a 3.7 G.P.A., Is active in JROTC and band. They have very little money so we have helped him get started in Martial Arts and supplied his fees and supplies. To see him come along and learn so quick is very satisfying. My Grand kids invite him over to their house to practice so he in effect has two very good tutors.

Remember This, Bing Crosby

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
