Surrogates to New Hampshire

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor October 29, 2008 09:47 AM

While the candidates are in other battleground states this week, Barack Obama and John McCain are dispatching top surrogates to New Hampshire.

Hillary Clinton was in the battleground state on Tuesday, and her office announced this morning that former President Bill Clinton plans to be there on Sunday to campaign for Obama and for US Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen.

On McCain's behalf, former Governor Jane Swift is holding an education roundtable this morning in Hampton. McCain could return to the state this weekend.

Both McCain and Obama held events in New Hampshire in mid-October. Obama has taken the lead in recent polls; in an Associated Press-GfK survey released today, he led 55 percent to 37 percent.

Jane Swift is a top surrogate for McCain? How disgraceful, she is one of the most reviled politicians in MA, her own party wouldn't even support her desire to run for the Gov.'s office.

Jane Swift = Sarah Palin lite. And Palin couldn't hold Hillary's jock.

ACORN in ohio and many states is known to Obama has made no effort to condemn this pratice

Obama has continually minimized his connection to the "Former Terrorist" (if that's possible) Bill Ayers refusing to discuss it.

This is cause for concern because Bill Ayers is now teaching our youth?

Obama in 1966 had full MARXIST funding for more than a 'few" years this is a matter of publice record. In a book Obama revealed that in his college years he preferred communist/socialist circles.

Obama has made full use of our lobby system to futher his career to the present he has 47 lobbyists and counting.

While willing to deprive WE THE PEOPLE of our rights. Which incidentally, is the primary means our Nation uses to protect the publics needs and SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE without privatizing and without reduction of services.

NOTE- Once our Nation gives up their RIGHT TO PETITION THRU LOBBY--Anyone can do whatever they want to SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE and NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

The Democratic agenda wants socialized medicine which has no plus side and never will. It only grants the medical community the right to not care if someone dies while waiting for treatment.

In the New Hampshire campaigning Obama interrupted his campaigning long enough to talk on the phone with his half-brother Abongo Obama whom happens to be a follower of his cousin Raila Odinga.

whom is Raila Odinga? Obama cousin odinga in 2007 created mass violence attempting to thwart a legitimate election. The current government is Pro-American but Odinga wants to make it Muslim Sharia law. what happened when Odinga lost the elections?

his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women
and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter..

Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.


Obama before elections started here in the USA supported his cousin.

Obama claims his father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he w as part of
one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

Obama says he has Released his State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March,
2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released,
exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

Not to mention no one has YET seen his families birth certificate or records.

My Economics Bill Will Help America - NOT EXACTLY, your 111
economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0,
and even YOU voted against your own bill.
