I'm no Obama fan, but according to Truth or Fiction (not quite as left-leaning as Snopes), the story shared by Todd is not true, and should probably not be passed on (sorry, Todd).
Here's a link to a list of Obama-related stories, and the truth (or lack thereof) of them.
Mrs. C
Thanks Mrs C. I was going to do a check on it but failed to do that before I posted it.
Sorry folks......
Display MoreFor those of you who might have missed the Saturday Night live opening with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, portraying Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton respectively, here is a link to the whole thing (you wouldn't believe how long it took me to find it! I watched it yesterday morning, in its entirety on YouTube, but when I went back to find it again, all I could find was bits and pieces but not the whole thing - as you might imagine, most negative Hillary portrayals were chopped out and most negative Sarah bits were shown).
You will have to 'endure' a 30 second commercial prior to the 'main event.'
SNL opening from 09/13/08

That was actually quite funny.
More of a burn on Sarah then Hillary but not too bad.

Obama explains Our National Anthem
Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag
pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why
he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all
present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing
the flag with the right hand over the heart.
'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides, 'Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American
flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like
message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be
swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song
'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I
might salute it. ' I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial.' - Barack Obama.
This comment really nails it! 'LTG Bill Ginn' USAF retired forwarded:

If someone had told me 64 years ago, as I was roaring down the runway in
the most beautiful airplane in the world, that I would see our country
subjected to one of the most disgusting Presidential elections
imaginable, I would have told them they were crazy as hell....
What in the world have we come to? And, Obama wants to be the leader of
the American Military??!! Commander in Chief???
HOW DID HE GET THIS FAR ???????????

I just got this link in an e-mail, to a poll at ABC News.
Check it out!!
I successfully booted Obama off the teeter toter!!!
I was surprised as the next conservative to hear of her picked as VP. Should be quit intersting.
By the way as an astute snowmobiler, her husband Todd Palin, I know what a great first name 
, is a 4 time winner of the Iron Dog champion snowmobile race and is planning on racing again this year. Its held every year in Feb.. It runs from Anchorage to Nome and then back to Fairbanks. Total mileage is 1,971 miles!!! Check it out at http://irondog.org/ .
With Biden as the VP for Obama, that just gave that McCain campaign more ammo. Biden is/has been the worst mouthpiece for the Dem's for years. He has stuck his foot in his mouth so many times its not even funny. The conservatives are going to rip him to pieces.
Anyone catch the story about this William Ayer's character who is linked to some bombings in the US back in the 60's or 70's? From the article he is a good friend of Obama. How can someone running for president be friends with a known terrorist??
McCain doesn't stand a chance.
Can you maybe elaborate alittle on why you think that?
What's amazing Stumpy is that you know it, I know and the majority of people in the country know it but we just keep doing the same thing year in and year out. Put up with the crap out of Washington( and Hollyweird for that matter) and just complain. You are right, people need to step up and start taking the fight to them so to speak. We need to get organized as a people and vote for change once and for all. God help us on the election this year, that's all I can say!!!!!
With that said Stumpy it explains how we got to this place we are at now. If we had honest people making the right/tough decisions we wouldn't be wondering if our kids/grandkids are going to have it better then we did. Sad since it only took them about 50 years to really screw it up.
This was just sent to me in a email. Not sure of the accuracy on this one but it sure sounds like the rhetoric we always get bombarded with from her.
Thought you had heard it all? Not quite!!
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to
the American people, you're so stupid that we're going to keep doing
this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of
the House is saying.
Read below...............
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. You
aren't going to believe this. Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a
Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement funds, 401Ks and
Mutual Funds!) Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and
other unemployed Minorities! Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is frightening.
She is quoted..."We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our
country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest." When
asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: "We need to raise
the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have
an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along
with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could
go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to
have as 'Americans'."
This lady(?) is out of her mind.
Now this is a funny political video.
How important was MLK? Don't Ask Bill Clinton, he wasn't awake for the ceremony!!!

Hi Jim
I wasnt singing Mc Cain's praises. He just is the lesser of two evils. The thought of four years of Hillary is pretty dauntingbut on the bright side she is being handed a poisoned chalice.
Mike
I hope she wins the nomination, makes it easier for the republicans to win. As far as McCain goes I am not high on him either. I like Huckabee better or even Fred Thompson(has no chance though). But then again I am not to high on any candidate from any party at the moment.
