Chandler For Obama
Another Super D for Barack Obama. Rep. Ben Chandler of KY endorsed the IL Sen today.
"Today I am pleased to announce my support and to offer my endorsement to Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States," Chandler said in a statement released by the campaign. "I have listened to this man, I have met with him and like many of you, I am inspired by his message of change and of hope for our future. But more importantly, I am convinced Barack Obama will provide the steady hand and leadership we need to chart a new path for our nation."

There was a time when Rev. Jerimiah Wright was once very respected and sought after, hence his trip to the White House invited by Bill and Hillary Clinton when they were going through Bill's Impeachment. During this time of trial, who did Bill and Hillary turn to for Prayer and Support, yes, the Rev. Wright himself! Then we have Hillary surrogates who have connections to Rev. Wright (1) surrogate, Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee, a devotee of Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright; he has preached at her home church, where she is actively involved, annually for the past 15 years and has an open invitation to return, and, that she sat in the pews for his visits and did not bat an eye? AND (2) surrogate, Rev. Marcia Dyson, who was not only a longtime member of Trinity United Church of Christ but also still considers Rev. Jeremiah Wright her pastor! And was it not at Trinity were she first met her husband, Rev. Dr. Michael Dyson, who's been very vocal in his defense of Rev. Wright.? So you see, there was a time that Rev. Wright was "higly respected, had great influence and sought after, hence his trip to the White House."
As for Rev. Wright's part, it seems he was "tempted" and took the "bite" to go take part in this media blitz by Hillary supporter, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds from Maryland, who has endorsed Hillary on her website -- Reynoldsnews.com, all the while knowing it would cause more sensation and not be helpful to Barack Obama. This incitement and temptation by a Hillary supporter has given Barack the ability to do what a lot of his supporters wanted him to do, strongly distance himself from Rev. Wright!
On the otherhand, why would a Republican-owned Media give a "retired" Rev. Wright all that air time, getting all three Cable News Channels to air Rev. Wright's 45 minute speech in its entirety, SOMETHNG RESERVED FOR PRESIDENTS. The Candidates themselves, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, only receive Blips on the cable television shows for their stump speeches! Was this a coordinated effort, and by whom?
Are Repbublicans trying to help Hillary win the Democratic nomination? Then try to win the White House with the help of African-American voters turned off by the Clintons' "kitchen sink-strategy" directed at Barack Obama? Is that why McCain is so actively wooing them? Is that why a Republican-controlled Media "daily" 24/7, through their talking heads build-up Hillary, tear/smear down Obama, so that if Hillary does become the Democratic nominee, they can then unleash their "arsenol" of weapons that they have against her, something they have been planning for years! They have even engaged Karl Rove through his letter to Barack by disengenuously suggesting that Barack has lost his touch-- that he can't attract white-working class Americans, etc., something they know he can do and has done! And why is President Bush have a sudden interest in making all these speeches? Unfortunately, Barack has to fight a "two-headed" Giant -- the Clintons and the Republicans, and their Republican-controlled Media, maybe it's three heads -- an awesome, destructive power and force indeed for one lone man to go up against! These Republicans and their corporate-owned media are no friend to the average joe! They fear what Barack stands for unity and power.
Let's be really clear, the only Ones who have made Race an Issue in this campaign are the Clintons and the Republican-controlled media -- from the start, Barack Obama has tried to transcend Race, but they will not let him, as it would be to their disadvantage... daily they inform us he cannot attract white-blue collar workers, hoping if they say it long enough, it will catch on and people will begin to believe this. They do not want a candidate who inspires hope, unity and change, so they, and the Clintons -- the two-headed Giant -- try to bring Obama down anyway and with any lie they can! The Republicans for their own reason (they don't want change) and the Clintons for theirs (they want the nomination)! Either way it is a mighty battle and if they get their way, the People Lose! That is why Clintons and Media are trying to make this a "racial" thing, you know divide and conquer so the people cannot concentrate on the real issues and miss the boat again!
And yes, it was time for an amicable Parting of the Ways between Barack and Rev. Wright who has definitely put a sword in his side. I now understand why Barack thinks some people are bitter -- he has been conditioned to think that way by the bitterness of his former Pastor, to think that some people are bitter, although Barack was not subject to this bitterness himself but was able to overcome this conditioning and escape it rahter incorporating ther engery of inspiration goodwill and hope instead! I hope we the people will not be blindsided by this onslaught directed at this Candidate of Change and Hope we have in Barack Obama and miss the boat again by allowing him to be "Swiftboated"!

The above post is laughable and completely off point. More relevantly, Rep. Ike Skelton also endorsed Clinton today.

Angellight,
The black helicopters are outside of your window as I type this. If you adjust your tinfoil hat, you just might be able to evade their mind control powers. Act quickly, before it's too late!
