Obama's my Homeboy......

Barack Obama won’t wear an American flag on his lapel, but on the wall of his Houston campaign office: a Cuban flag with a picture of Communist mass murderer Che Guevara.

And that flag is no fluke. Here’s another one.

Roscoe, normally I would not beleive any anti left propaganda that you might post but since the Fox logo is shown I know this is a real photo and not some doctored right wing trash.

Thanks for the heads up.

So exactly what does this mean? Could it mean some obscure volunteer in an equally obscure campaign office, put something on the wall (period). There are hundreds of such offices across the country in any national campaign. Wow.........breaking news

Roscoe,

I appreciate your posts, and always am willing to research and discern my own conclusions on anyone's posts rather than attack it with generalizations. The internet is a dangerous thing, but it is an eye opening opportunity for exposure.

for example in having fun with your post, this is what I found from some 'left propaganda':

"Let's see. Castro endorses a Clinton/Obama ticket.

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsN...

Obama has Greg Craig, castro's attorney during the Elian episode, as a senior policy adviser.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...

He was for lifting the embargo before he was against it.

It could also be a dirty trick by Clinton, McCain, or somebody else. I don't trust any of them to not do something like this. The timing would indicate Clinton as being the most likely.

I get it Steve...in the middle of the night a Clinton operative (Sandy Burglar?) crept into the office and hung the flags. When the employees opened up in the morning they just got to work and did not notice the new flag and pic of Che....oh...er...maybe they didn't know who it was??? Maybe they thought it was a relative of OOObama????? Duh!

Let's face it....Obama has the most liberal voting record in the House. He is an inexperienced blank slate and a political socialist at heart.

And where was G. Gordon Liddy the other day??

At least if he lifts the embargo I'll be able to get some legal cigars.

Viva la Revolution!

Pssst, Roscoe, Obama is in the Senate, not the House.

No Roscoe. I didn't think I would actually have to explain this...
A Clinton (or whomever) worker goes and volunteers to work at Obamas campaign office, hangs the flags and explains that they represent diversity in the workplace or some such thing (most people are sheep and would not question somebody who seems to know more than they do. And really - how many people do you think would actually recognise Guevara anyways?). Then wait a month or two, and then call Fox to come and get pics.

Why use a complicated plan like a break in when a simple one will do...

The Senate is a house. There are often references to 'both Houses'

Correct, but your usage above ("most liberal voting record in the House") was incorrect.

Wayne Maybury · #14 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 12:29 PM

Looks to me like the Right is beginning to get worried that the Democrates have a strong candidate.

By the way, Obama, if you haven't read your Che recently here's one of his more infamous quotes:

"The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolity and drink, whereas the european is intelligent and forward looking."

"Mexicans are a rabble of illiterate indians. South American peasants are nothing but animalitos (little animals)"

Ernesto (Che) Guevara

All the more reason your original post was beyond stupid.

Sorry Roscoe, even I, an ardent conservative, can't help you lend credance to such an obviously stupid, staged attempt to discredit Obama. Personally, I think Obama is an incredible speaker... one who is gifted to inspire but at the same time say nothing. Its an art, a gift if you will.

I still can't think of one good thing to say about McCain except he was a war hero. For that, he is to be respected and honored. Clothes pins to my nose, thats where I'm gonna have to put my vote.

I don't see how Obama can be held liable for every worker (or their opinions) but it certainly shows a lack of smarts on the local directors part! I see this years election as the thinnest choice available in a long, long time. As stated above, Obama speaks eloquently but says nothing. His voting record in the Senate is no real indicator because on many issues important to me in a leader he voted 'present', not yes, no or abstain. Clinton is an old guard inside politico who just wants to be President but just doesn't seem to bring anything else idea wise to the table. Oh, she has 8 years White House experience. The pastry chef has 14, so let's vote for her. McCain is a retread who has finally (it seems) found his groove. Both these 2 amount to 'stay the course' which I don't think is an option. Huckabee lost me when he stated that he would like the Constitution written to be more 'in line' with the Bible. I am a God fearing man, but I don't want the state involved in my church. Paul?
A lot of ideas I like (flat tax, limited gov't,etc.) but he has his loon moments when he argues his brothers cudos (his brother is one of the big income tax protesters in the US). And if he won, could he get a coalition to rule? Hard choices to make when the menu is so thin.
