Feds Stop Security Screening at Obama Event

Published by Pamela Gentry on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 7:09 pm.

Posted Feb. 22, 2008 – According to the Star-Telegraph Newspaper in Dallas, the federal agency responsible for protecting Sen. Barack Obama decided to allow thousands of people into a political rally without going through any security screening.  The reason for this lapse of good judgment: the lines were long and the process was taking too long.

Duh!

The folks who made this call were lucky the crowd was  “friendly.”  I hope this isn’t the kind of protection the Secret Service will offer up if Obama becomes the Commander-in-Chief.

The Dallas Police were worried and let the cat out of the bag.

Well all I have to say is…. “that was dead wrong because they know just as well as we know that there are people out there who will try to take that mans life”.

LILBABY26, my point WAS NOT that b.o. has to prove his “blackness” or even that sharpton and jackson speak for the black community. my point WAS that prominent black leaders like sharpton and cornel west have done 180’s when it comes to supporting obama. i was questioning the change in position? that’s all.

i support HILLARY because i personally believe that she is the better candidate. i do not vote for a candidate “just because” they are anything. and in the next 24 hours she was actually attacking a mailer he had sent out and the information she believed to be false.

respecting someone and disagreeing with their position are not mutually exclusive.

HILLARY 2008

Hillary has launched a Ridiculously Vindictive Smear campaign against Obama. What does this mean…IT MEANS THAT SHE IS OPERATING OFF OF ENVIOUS EMOTIONS, which is why she continually displays the inability to EFFECTIVELY “move the crowd”. Somebody might want to expend some of their time and energy writing Hillary. Yeah, write Hillary and implore her to stop DEVOTING so much time and energy towards sabotaging Obama because it shows a lack of CHARACTER and CREATIVITY not to mention an utter disregard for the intelligence of the people of America!

Tell her that the “Poor Psychologically Battered Wife Syndrome” card can’t be played at this table. America is not willing to play that game with her! Write her and tell her to WOMAN UP to the plate, show some resolve and integrity and STOP CRYIN’ ON NATIONAL TELEVISION! It’s quite tacky.

GOD BLESS BROTHER OBAMA!

How can Hillary Clinton be the better candidate when she does not posses the rational thought of an intelligent person who thinks before he/she speaks. Instead she just blurts out whatever smear her campaign hands her. She is the only one responsible for the failure of her campaign to connect with people. She came into this smug and sure that she would win but lo and behold someone with the capacity to lead this country came along and she is so OVER!

I am thankful mostly that I have this most hopeful choice in Barack Obama because up until now all the others were always a choice of bad to worse. Now this is the person we want to lead us he is the person we want to change the face of this country. Bring us forward in the 21st century to positive thinking and that with unity there is nothing the American people can’t do.

She just doesn’t have that inspiration that we so desperately need after 9/11 and Katrina and al the loss of life in Iraq. We need someone who really wants to reclaim America for the PEOPLE!

Go away Hillary and go find yourself because you truly don’t know who you are anymore!

it seems as if everytime a black women or man tries to do somethin in america that they lives become indangered, now if hillary life at stake they would have everyone protecting her but just cause obama is black and tryin to be somethin they want to throw him out by killin him….america is still not right on how they treat the black and white!!!



OBAMA FAN Said on

What ever….this scare tactic…dont feed into it! they are trying anything! This man has freakin’ security!….Bob Johnson loves him some Hillary! I would not be surprised if he had his website put this on here!!



JOHN JACOBS Said on

In reading Julian Bonds attempt to hand the White House over to Clinton (by running game) by demanding Florida and Mich. votes be counted made me really sad for a moment until I realized that for him it’s a normal thing to try and down a brother! I would like him to explain why the name of his organization still uses the name negroe after all these years. But in looking at the makeup of their board, it is really self explanitory!!!

LaWanda Said on

Please, Please, Please, Now this is what I’m talking about! Unexceptable regardless ” obama ”
needs to keep “The Secret Service like a “Baby needs a Blanket !Now most “Blacks” know things
can just accidently happen, We do not need another one of our Heavy Weight leaders assassinated! Most of us “love What “Obama” Stand for. Someone in the “White House” “Who is willing to do the right thing!!!



Candy Said on

I know that BARAK OBAMA will will president. I think that it is about time that we have a colored face that speaks for the people. No he will not get killed. We as black people need to believe in the unbelivable and stop thinking negative. And stop speaking curses and speak blessings. That is what is wrong with our kind today. We as people are so jealous of one another that you don’t want to see another black person go FAR. well you go OBAMA,you GO!!!

Kris, I live in Chicago and the both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times endorsed Obama for President.

Maria,I live in Dallas and some issues that i would like to point out since the campaign started. you can see and feel the rasism amongst the second generation kkk. but the majority of white wants a change as well because they are just as oppresed as the blacks are the whites have been so used to doing things the wrong way until it will kill them to see the wright thing, they act as if though the man is a joke because that is what they have been all alone. they get on antional tv and make a joke out of him as if he has no intellegance at all even the reporters on cnn and fox sit around looking and being fake and inveious and downing his experience look @ the majority of the cuascation presidents except jfk that has been in office and the years of experience that they have had and did not do a dam—-thing with it they just went stupid on day one and before. and hillary is a big big joke i’m a woman and i would not even vote for her she has mutiple personalities and if she could she would assasanate Oboma herself. she keeps saying that he is attacking her but it is the other way around and she never answers the question that is asked of her instead she brings up all of the dead founding fathers. which did not really found america. it was already founded they just stole it and changed the law the problem with white america they think that they are better than blacks because that is what they have practiced but they did not have anything and what was achived it was stolen.if you really look @ the way they act they are petty and and trivial, but as i said not all of them it depends on the state of mind that one is in and the younger generation are not trying to hear it because they are more open minded this is not the 1700’s this is 2008 and to think that a african american is not capable of running this country they are fooling themselves. and just open your mind. I dont care how much experience hillary state that she has, none of us have universal health care she is not ginuine she just goes off the next person if she acts the way she has been acting just think what she would do if she was in the whitehouse. and why was it named the white house anyway. Oboma is better for the job and the ones that is knocking him knows it and for her to call him a slumlord is degrading. she’s the one that has not paid her own mortage for months, and she is the one that also stole items out of the white house when her husband got inpeached she need to go sit down somewhere and attend to her husband i’d rather see consi and Oboma on a ticket instead. the thing is when they excerise prejiduce that is what comes out and beleive me they are the majority that excersise it it shows and the mexicans are to knieve to see it. if they are smart they should be able to see is all hillary wants is their vote and they are in fear of being deported. you know that you dont deserve a licsence if you are illegal, now those are speech’s that she cant deliver on. nothing she say’s is real it’s just a polital ploy to downplay Oboma. But we have to keep Oboma and his family in our prayers this is not to offend the opened minded white community because everyone knows who they are and what they are until that changes we will be left out because the other contries can see how things are ran here in america. and i truly beleive with God and Barck being the presiden can change that around because God is going to let things take it’s course. nobody had expeirence from day one plus Oboma is younger that hillary and her expeirence has not did a great deal here in america she is a disaster waiting to happen she is to bitter and when you are talking about running the whole country you can not take things personal. her debates have proven she is not the fighter she claims to be. and when she fights it’s not for the right reason that’s why she voted for the war to satisfy special interest and she can not manage money if she couls she would have borrowed $5million to fund her own canpaign. Oboma is the right man with the right plan. and they dare try to kill him off just because he’s black and real. if they were real they would not look at the color. it shows that that is the way they feel through-out all the media —but they are in just as much bundage as we are. and they should be tired of it . they are no better than we are they have only hidden behind money and that dont even cover a person up for whom they really are and that anyone. OBOMA FOR PRESIDENT. BRODEN AMERICA BECAUSE WE LOOK PRETTY SMALL TO OTHER NATIONS AND THERE IS A PROMISE THAT WE ALL NEED TO FULFIL AND RASISM WONT GET US THERE.

Kris,

You are obviously as desperate as your candidate. Posting a link to a clearly republican conservative news website. If this is your cup of tea than perhaps you need to joing the republican party in rash judgement and fluff pieces. I think you will fit right in!



kris Said on

of course the two chicago papers endorsed him. that’s a given. just like the ny times endorsed hillary.

hey everybody, it’s not NEWS. it’s an op-ed piece. do you know the difference? maybe not. i’ll explain. you don’t have to be credible in an op-ed piece. i don’t like those guys either. but, i recognize the truth when i see/hear it. and when an anchor (chris matthews) talks about shivers up his spine, and goes on and on, and people will defend b.o. NO MATTER WHAT, then i question whether there is a cult of personality there.

people keep saying that “this is bigger than us” and “we are the change we’ve been waiting for”. it’s putting b.o. on a dangerously high pedestal. i like him to an extent. but when you have rabid, emotional, undying support for him, then i question the clarity of thinking.

HILLARY 2008

ABC NEws is now reporting today there are still gaps in Security at Obama rally although it was made aware the security will be stepped up. Thats pray for this brother regardless of politics as well as continue to remain vigilant by keeping it exposed to the public. God Will be With Him.
