Obama's a fucking Socialist, plain & simple. He wants to socialize health care. He wants to take away our guns. He wants to repeal the tax cuts. He wants to take hard-earned money from the working people and give it to the lazy and the ignorant.

But I don't care if he gets elected because if he does, he won't last a year before he gets assassinated. I only hope that they kill his miserable, USA hating, gorilla wife when they do it.

The resulting nationwide chimp-out will result in the immediate deaths of millions of groids. It will be whites, Asians and Latinos against blacks. The blacks will lose and it will be the end of Rap.

Scumbag.

That is truly disgusting and despicable, and I can't believe that the Rocks Off administration would allow such vulgar, racist trash on the forum. Oh and by the way, uttering death threats, or wishing or hoping for the death of a US politician, or their spouse, will result in immediate investigation by the US Secret Service.

BTW, Obama is a conservative Democrat who is opposed to univeral healthcare or single-payer healthcare.

As a senator he has promoted nuclear energy as "green." He has been lauded by the nuclear power industry, which is determined to resume building nuclear power plants across the country.

He has voted to continue to fund the Iraq war. He opposed Rep. John Murtha's call for immediate withdrawal.

He refused to join the 13 senators who voted against confirming Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state.

He voted in July 2005 to reauthorize the Patriot Act.

He did not support an amendment that was part of a bankruptcy bill that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent.

He opposed a bill that would have reformed the notorious Mining Law of 1872.

He did not support the single-payer health care bill HR 676, sponsored by Reps. Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers.

He supports the death penalty.

He worked tirelessly in the Senate in 2005 to pass a class-action "reform" bill that was part of a large lobbying effort by financial firms, which make up Obama's second-biggest single bloc of donors. The law, with the Orwellian title the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), would effectively shut down state courts as a venue to hear most class-action lawsuits. This has long been a cherished goal of large corporations as well as the Bush administration. It effectively denies redress in many of the courts where these cases have a chance of defying powerful corporate challenges. It moves these cases into corporate-friendly federal courts dominated by Republican judges. Even Hillary Clinton voted against this naked effort to allow corporations to carry out flagrant discrimination, consumer fraud and wage-and-hour violations.

Obama likes to paint himself as an opponent of the war. He reminds voters of his one -- and only one -- speech opposing it. But he swiftly changed his mind. Obama told the Chicago Tribune on July 27, 2004, that "there's not that much difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage. The difference, in my mind, is who's in a position to execute." Obama added that he "now believes U.S. forces must remain to stabilize the war-ravaged nation, a policy not dissimilar to the current approach of the Bush administration." Obama wants to leave an estimated 50,000 troops in Iraq to protect our superbases and the Green Zone, our imperial city, to fight terrorism, and to train Iraqi forces.

Obama's policy director is Karen Kornbluh, who as a senior aide to Robert Rubin, the head of the Treasury Department during the Clinton administration, pushed through NAFTA and other free-trade policies that unleashed the assault on organized labor and devastated the country's manufacturing sector. And Obama's senior economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, who teaches economics at the University of Chicago, privately assured Canada's consul general in Chicago in February that Obama's NAFTA-bashing "should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans," according to a leaked memo of the meeting.

Most of Obama's senior advisers, including Penny Pritzker, a member of one of America's richest families and the current finance chair of the campaign, have a long history of oiling the government apparatus for corporate interests and personal enrichment. Pritzker was the chair of Superior Bank of Chicago. The bank collapsed in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits, and 1,406 people lost nearly all their savings. The bank owners, who fabricated profit reports, made much of their money promoting risky subprime home mortgages. Those around Obama are as wedded to corporate interests as those around Clinton and McCain.

Well three weeks ago Hamas came out in support of Obama, and today Fidel Castro has thrown his support to the senator with the most liberal voting record in the Senate.

So if terrorists and communists love him he must be ok.

LOL!!!

Anyone that would vote for Obama is an idiot. There I said it.

Its unclear, but I think Wild Bill posted that. I don't know who he is hoisting, or if he's liberal, new liberal, conservative, true conservative, neo-conservative, green, real conservative or whatnot. I just don't know.

For the record, I don't think the Asians or the Hispanics could take the blacks. But thats just my opinion.

Van Halen concert 'all about attitude'

by John Sinkevics | The Grand Rapids Press
Tuesday June 03, 2008, 12:16 AM

GRAND RAPIDS -- Halfway through Van Halen's raucous "You Really Got Me" opener on Monday night, lead singer David Lee Roth shook guitarist Eddie Van Halen's hand, with both veteran rockers beaming broadly.

Van Halen's David Lee Roth, left, Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen entertain the crowd during their concert on Monday night."Better late than never, eh?" Roth screamed to the 10,000 or so on hand at the show, which originally had been scheduled for April.

The pair would trade smiles often during Monday's two-hour show -- the last concert on the band's much-publicized reunion tour and, who knows, maybe the last Van Halen show ever -- Roth even whispering into the guitarist's ear during "Somebody Get Me a Doctor."

Just a few short years ago, who'd a thunk it? Who would have thought these acrimonious rockers would joyously be playing a final glorious concert in a mostly triumphant reunion tour spanning two calendar years? Who would have guessed a 53-year-old guy, Eddie Van Halen, still could light up an electric guitar as few can after battling cancer and drug problems, or his teenage son, Wolfgang, actually would be the band's bassist?

And who'd a thunk it would all wind up right here in River City, the final show in an unexpected chapter of a tumultuous story of hard rock?

The Van Halen crowd salutes the band at the concert.Just three days after Tom Petty treated Grand Rapids to the first show of his North American tour, Van Halen swooped in for the last show of its North American jaunt, appropriately opening the evening with that familiar cover of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and ending with celebratory, confetti-splashed "Jump."

Grand Rapids fans had to wait an extra two months for their Van Halen fix (after part of the tour was postponed so Eddie could get treatment for an unspecified medical condition), but there's little doubt those who turned in their tickets for the rescheduled show (leaving some banks of empty seats) will regret it after hearing the concert report at work today from pals who partied and "danced the night away."

Ryan Shaw, a Georgia R&B/rock singer with a bucketload of soul, opened the evening with a half-hour set that included a moving rendition of The Beatles' "Let It Be," along with covers of tunes by Janis Joplin and Otis Redding. But it was an understated performance compared to what came next.

While Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen and even young bassist/offspring Wolfgang Van Halen all had their moments, Eddie Van Halen clearly was the unassailable star of this show, his fingers crawling like a high-speed rattler over the fretboard of his guitar, bending strings, unleashing tasty trills, tapping the fingers of his right hand on the strings. producing throaty growls and generally just making his electric guitar look like another appendage of his body, part of his very flesh and fiber.

Van Halen concert highlights
Highlight No. 1: Eddie Van Halen's sizzling guitar work all night, especially on "Romeo Delight," "Atomic Punk" and after "Panama"
Highlight No. 2: The one-two punch of "I'll Wait" and "And the Cradle Will Rock," followed not long after by "Jamie's Cryin' "

There was a relaxed, energetic, pressure-free aura to the final show of Van Halen's tour with no special surprise guests or major setlist changes. Instead, the band tore confidently through its biggest hits, from "Runnin' With the Devil" to "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" to "Beautiful Girls" in a show that wasn't so much about the songs as it was about attitude and the way they're played on a loud and proud electric guitar.

Roth, once brutally described by music critic Dave Marsh as "the most obnoxious singer in human history," often lived up to that billing as he strutted the stage in goofy fashion in a loud pink jacket, waddling with a megaphone between his legs, making a "booty call," grabbing his crotch.

But even if his voice seemed to lose its luster at times (sometimes even undermixed), Roth also made the perfect over-the-top, rock-star foil to Eddie Van Halen's tattered-jeans-style guitar wizardry, and even showed off some nice vocal chops on "I'll Wait."

Of course, it helps when your lead guitarist is a master of his instrument and seems awfully happy to be so, grinning unabashedly all night long, hopping up and down in red, hightop sneakers, churning out eye-popping, Lamborghini-quick riffs, actually looking healthy.

And there were plenty of father-and-son bonding moments, as Wolfie and his dad sang into the same microphone and traded smirks across the stage.

It all made it seem like there was plenty more life left in this version of Van Halen, even as rumors of another studio album continue to crop up.

Roth referred to the band's story as an "epic" and a "saga," with some choice four-letter words thrown in for good measure.

"Hopefully, it won't be too long before we see you all along the road again," Roth declared.

So maybe Grand Rapids isn't the end of the line after all.
