To promote "green", Obama claimed he drove a vehicle that uses ethanol; GM confirmed the model was NOT ethanol-ready

Like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Obama's Car Claims Are Fantasy

Illinois Senator Barack Obama warns citizens at his 50th Town Hall meeting about gas guzzling, WPSD-TV reports.

...He says part of the blame for the world's higher temperatures rests on gas guzzling vehicles. Obama says consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids.

Today the Senator said, "It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska."

"After the meeting... Obama left in a GMC Envoy after admitting to favoring SUV's himself," claimed local News Channel 6.

Tommy Vietor, Senator Obama's press secretary, explained: "The vehicle senator Obama travels in while in illinois is a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV), which can run on e85, a blended fuel made of 85 percent ethanol.

"So he in fact was practicing what he preached at the town hall meeting in Metropolis yesterday when he said we must drive fewer gas-guzzling vehicles."

But, there's a problem with this story...

Illinois Review notes that, according to the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, the GMC Envoy is not E85 ready.
It appears that Obama's claim is no more real than Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Michelle is fast becoming the Cruella Da Ville of politics

No! No! No!

No experience

in executive leadership role, military service; business,or implementing major change, resulting in unsound political policies

No judgment

resulting in his keeping company in Chicago with crooks, bombers, racists, sexists and anti-semites; divisive rhetoric, narcissism, overbearing arrogance and cronyism

No integrity

leads to broken promises, hypocrisy, under-hand political tactics, flip flops and Obama's list of 99 Documented LIES

Barack Obama, the very junior Senator from Chicago, lacks the most basic of experience needed to be President; he is easily influenced and doesn't have the judgment to know what he doesn't know; even worse he lacks the integrity to learn from his mistakes preferring to use gifted oratory to deflect criticism and blame others. Thats why millions of life-long Democrats, and other moderate Americans just say no deal.

Its easy to laugh about gas prices, when you fly in luxury

Obama with supporter Rev Jesse Jackson sr, whose son is National Chairman of Obama's campaign. Jackson Sr's daughter Santita and Michelle Obama grew up together and are "tight friends." She is the godmother to one of the Obama kids. During Jesse Jackson sr's failed 1984 run for the White House, Jackson Sr also had a Pastor Disaster when Jackson Sr refused to condemn his Minister Farrakhan's anti-semitic remarks. (Also pictured is another Obama supporter Illinois's Governor Blagojovich. The nervous governor is at the center of the recent Rezko convictions on 16 counts of corruption.)

Obama zealot Rev Lee: Payback time for Jews

Obama asked to meet PRIVATELY with Imam Hassan Qazwini.

Imam Hassan Qazwini (right) meets with Hezbollah Spiritual Leader Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah. Iman Qazwini is a sponsor of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. He is currently the leader of the largest mosque in the USA. His private meeting with Obama, shown in the inset, took place on May 14 2008, minutes after Obama told a reporter at an auto plant "Not now Sweetie." According to the Mosque related website the Imam gave Obama a copy of his latest book, Crescent America (see directly below). Hezballah: Photo source Debbie Schussel. Inset Source Detroit Free Press

For 22 years, Obama has been an enabler of racial intolerence

After 22 years listening to Pastor Wright's mesmerizing sermons based on Black Liberation Theory, how much has Senator Obama been influenced by its hateful rhetoric about "white supremacy" in the United States? Fundamental questions remain about Obama's lack of judgment in that he never once over a span of 800 weeks of Church attendance challenged his friend the pastor, even in private, about the pastor's ludicrous condemnation of the US Government for crimes including inventing HIV to kill African-Africans. Nor did he challenge his pastor when he allowed an article to be published in the Church Bulletin suggesting Jews invented a bomb with the astonishing powers to kill only Blacks and Arabs. Despite the hateful, and untruthful allegations about white Americans, the US Government and Jewish people, that Obama's pastor spread throughout the 8500 strong Chicago-based congregation, Obama, as recently as mid-2007, introduced his pastor to several thousand conference attendees as a friend and great leader.Obama's not only NOT a uniter, but also for 22 years he's been an enabler of racial intolerance. It wasn't until March 18 2008, after ABC's March 13 2008 broadcast of this news story threatened to undermine his primary race, that he condemned some of his Pastor's most offensive statements. Even then, Obama could not bring himself to break with the Pastor who he describes as councilor, the man who brought Obama to the Lord, officiated at Obama's wedding, baptized both Obama kids, and blessed his new $2 million Hyde Park mansion. It was not until two months after the Pastor repeated the same lies in at least two major speeches seen live on cable news that Obama announced Wright was no longer his pastor.
