Garnet SpyOK: this has gone beyond being a two-faced politician (all are, to some degree). I’m calling Obama’s manhood into question.
I’ll start with the one that chaps me the most because of my own work in the area. I’ve just sent off $1,500 this month for promises I made for education in Africa (most of which- since applied directly for the orphans involved as a ‘gift’ to people like my daughter- is not even tax deductible). My family annual income is about the monthly income of the Obamas this year. And yet he’s done NOTHING about this 2 year-old promise:
“Senator Obama has not honoured the promises he gave me when we met in 2006 and in his earlier letter to the school. He has not given us even one shilling.”
I challenge Barack Obama to set this right. Even if Obama is not man enough to keep this promise personally, he can pass the hat for them at his next big fundraiser, or put a online donation mechanism in place accessible from his campaign website. If he does the latter, I’ll even kick in $20 myself to make sure his 10 relatives at this school have water. The source of the money won’t matter to the people at this school and his personal humiliation can then at least be covered up by his friends in the News Media.
And it’s time for him to book that plane back to Germany and visit those wounded troops he bypassed to work out in the gym and shop. No matter what the reason he chose not to go without your campaign people, he should make up that visit to these wounded warriors. Politically, this one will undo nearly everything good from your World Tour; if not for honor’s sake, Obama needs to fulfill this one for raw political expediency.
Then, he might think of hitting up some of his new big money friends to help with this little bit of unfulfilled promises he left in the old hometown.
Barack called out the men in the black community to fulfill their responsibilities of fatherhood; I’m calling him out on the responsibilities of his pledged commitments, a a ‘citizen of the world’.
Man up, Barack; meet those commitments!
Then we can get back to talking just policies (and how yours would suck).

Manhood has been officially questioned
hussein obama does not pass the manhood litmas test , because obama is really a girlie man. just ask LarrySinclair what he was doing with hussein obama in the Limosine on the night of 11/3/1999 in Chicago. God Bless America and God Damn liars and cheaters. Amen.
Larry Sinclair? Talk about liars and cheaters.
I must say Mike, good post. A much different tone.
Obama is on a ego trip! He has lied to just about everyone. How can any American vote for such a lousy person!

Obama’s visit to the wounded troops in Germany was blocked by the U.S. Defense Department because they saw it as a campaign endorsement. I do agree that Obama should make good on his promise to this school (it does have his name on the door), but some these commentors seem like they wouldn’t really vote for him even if he did. I’ll put the word out on this.
No, the visit of Obama’s campaign staff was blocked by the Defense Department; Sen. Obama was invited to visit without them. I guess he didn’t feel comfortable meeting the members of our military without his advisors and campaign staff. Like the school, it was his choice; he made it, he lives with it.
And this has nothing to do with who votes for whom; it has to do with getting water to those kids, as well as a security fence around the property.
The one thing to note is that even though he went to work out and didn’t personally go to visit the troops at the hospital anyways, at least he was shooting hoops with the troops.
Because his staff was allowed at the basketball game; it looks like our presumptuous C-in-C isn’t willing to go it alone with the troops.
Looks like Baldilocks is got a good start at picking up Obama’s dropped commitment to the kids. $2,200 so far; way to go, Juliett!

I have been looking for evidence of this “commitment”, but have not found it.
Mike, it is time for you to man up and demonstrate that this is not just some more wingnut BS.
[...] Celebrate the DNC by Fulfilling a Politician’s Commitment Posted on August 24, 2008 by Mike O Politicians tend to make heaps of promises they neither fulfill nor even make the attempt to. Most are in the political arena, but sometimes a personal commitment- a good one- slips by the wayside when it really shouldn’t. Isolated instances of forgotten personal commitments may or may not be a reflection of the character of the individual; it requires more than that to take a full measure of a politician. A history of them is another matter, however. This has been discussed before. [...]
