Congrats, President Elect Obama

From my post at LGF, no need to rewrite what I feel:

I should be upset, I am really not. Maybe its the wine? I am seeing this as our chance, our opportunity to take back our party. But we have to do it, not talk about, not whine about it, get off our butts and DO IT.

We won't have the luxury of the media pointing out flaws, or making them up as the case may be, as the Dems did with Bush. Its up to us. He will screw up. People will say "oh what did we do". We must be there with the answer, and that is going back to what our founding father's designed. If we sit and wallow in self pity about this, we too will deserve what we get.

Night all. Its going to be ok, so long as we stick to our convictions.

Zombie, With a Little Help From Its Friends, Finds This



The image on the left shows the Weather Underground Organization logo in 1975, and the Obama for President campaign logo in 2008. (from Zombie).



Once again, Zombie uncovers what our press should. He/She/It, along with 'Sharmuta' and 'ExperiencedTraveler' (LGF), discovered a rare copy of the first issue of Weatherunderground newspaper, Osawatomie.

From the Zomblog:

Much of Osawatomie, which was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to “working from the inside” for revolution, concerns itself with the need to encourage “organizers” who will work in “communities” and use “audacity” to bring about “socialism” in America.

Don’t believe me? Read the quotes for yourself, and see them in context on the full pages below.

Rather than analyze the significance of the parallels between the ideas in Osawatomie, Barack Obama’s personal history as a “community organizer,” and the strategies, slogans and goals of his campaign for the presidency, I will let you the reader decide for yourself.

In 2009, Ayers and Dohn have another book slated to be published. Notice the symbol in the middle? Strikingly familiar, isn't it.


Please go read the whole thing and share with all your friends.

Iowahawk Does It Again!

Iowahawk: Spot on! Plus he is really good at 5th grade math.

As a Conservative, I Must say I do Quite Like the Cut of of this Obama Fellow's Jib

When my late father T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948, he famously declared that "Now is the time for all good conservative helmsmen to hoist the mizzen, pour the cocktails, and steer this damned schooner hard starboard." In the 60 years since he first uttered it after one-too-many Cosmopolitans at one of Pamela Harriman's notorious foreign policy black tie balls, father's pithy bon mot has served as a rallying cry for conservatives from Greenwich to Chevy Chase. Today, I say it's time for we conservatives to once again grab the rigging and set sail with the flotilla of the true conservative in this race: Barack Obama.

Marxist Redistribution - Legislative or Judicial decision



Which one shall it be? Our friendly Marxist must decide! BTW, this was in 2001. (h/t capitalist piglet).

Please pay special attention - Senator Obama states the Warren court wasn't that radical because it "didn't break down constraints of the Constitution as laid down by the Founding Fathers".

For reference:

Marxism -

The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in which the concept of class struggle plays a central role in understanding society's allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless society.

Socialism -
  1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
  2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.

Zombie: Billy Ayers\' Forgotten Communist Manifesto, \'Prairie Fire\'


Zombie: Billy Ayers' Forgotten Communist Manifesto, 'Prairie Fire'

Posted using ShareThis

For those that think Bill Ayers isn't important to this election, that he simply did some bad things a long time ago and now is no more than a respectable college professor that Barack Obama knows in passing, this is for you.

In this forgotten piece, Ayers declares he is a communist, and admits the Weather Underground fully intended to wage a violent revolution with the goal to overthrow the American government. This group was not made of up of hippies from back in the day, nor was Ayers "just a member" as Barack Obama declared in the last debate. Ayers FOUNDED this group and committed criminal acts, treasonous acts, against our Country. This isn't my opinion - Ayers readily admits and even lists the crimes he is proud he committed - acts of which he wishes he had done more.


We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years. We are deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against U.S. imperialism.

Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside. (emphasis mine)



We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize the power and build a new society.



Is Barack Obama a new chapter in Ayers' plan to seize power and control? Some of the words are chillingly similar to Senator Obama's like "join the world". How often do we hear we need to be a part of the World Community and worry about how the "world" views us, even campaigning in foreign nations? How often does Senator Obama invoke the war in Iraq as the US attacking the "world" unjustly?

Has Ayers decided to attack from the inside again? Has maturity taught him bombing won't achieve the ends he seeks, but getting a candidate that follows the plays outlined by Saul Alinksy IS? Ayers is evil, but he isn't stupid and is fully capable of orchestrating such a thing - taking advantage of the liberals disassociation with logic in the media, in Hollywood, in politics and on the street. Just in case, they begin shutting down dissent through legal intimidation and other tactics. The Biden choice was so odd, except he is really dumb and probably wouldn't notice what was really going on around him, plus he was a useful tool. He can go out there and lie through his teeth - just make stuff up, and no one would question as Biden's dissociation with reality happened years ago. I've been worried, I will grant that. I've avoided conspiracy theorists because they tend to be kooks - but now? I've crossed over to scared and want Senator Obama to come clean on his relationship with Ayers and Company and thoroughly disclose his background to include his numerous last names. I want full and complete sentences, not "hope and change". Real, hard facts this time. I want Obama to point out an association with anyone who can't be linked to some radical or criminal group, I want the media to do its damn job and go look into Michelle's past and the Obama trashcans just like the Palin's - before its too late.

I Am Joe and Then Some!

Thank you, iowahawk. It must have been some blow to B. Hussein Obama's ego when he discovered everybody hasn't embraced the Truth and Light of Hope and Change. Please, Camp Obama thugs, stop by my front yard if you should happen to be in the area because



and possibly even a bit Alaskan.

Lies, Damn Lies and WTF?

Joe the plumber made a keen observation and voter's ears perked up. What happened next? Camp Obama declares Joe a big fat liar because, after all, plumbers don't make $250k a year and to solidify their point they start smearing Joe all over the internet.

Firstly, Joe NEVER said he earned this amount of money - what he said was he wanted to buy a business that would earn this amount of money. But why let facts get in the way of a good quashing free speech moment? Obama modus operendi is to ignore truth and begin an all hands on deck intimidation and smear campaign. In this case he wants to make it about Joe the Person to deflect from the fact BHO revealed his true communist thoughts with is redistribution of wealth comment! When Obama's support for infanticide was being discussed, he attacked Gianna Jesson. When his ties to terrorist Bill Ayers being slightly more than some guy down the street started to be revealed, he attacked Stanley Kurtz. And now its Joe's turn.

Speaking of Bill Ayers, there might be more to this than orginally thought. He just may have been the ghost author of Barry's memoirs -

During the debate, Obama claimed he worked with Ayers on education reform under the auspices of Annenberg being a friend of Ronald Reagan, therefore it couldn't have funded a "radical" education program. Press BS button now, and then read this.

Then there is the ACORN issue. As you may recall, Dear Leader stated he was not really associated with this group with the one SLIGHT exception of their Motor Voter campaign. Turns out this is *shock* a damn lie. Gateway Pundit has an interesting piece on Barry's involvement that shows it was a bit more than one small project, and shows Barry was, in fact, an organizer for this group. We've linked to video showing how involved b. Hussein Obama was in this campaign, and there is more on Obama's big lie here.

Hope and change.

Obama Fans Assualt McCain Supporters

Media could care less. Why is it we get all these news stories about McCain supporters being so angry and violent, yet when the oh so classy dems do this we get the sound of crickets?

I bet I get called racist for this in 3,2,1...

Debate Recap

Debate Recap short version–

Economy is ill – market tanked. What say you?

McCain – Thanks to Barry’s incompetent and corrupt friends, the housing market crashed. We must reform this as I have been saying (and have the letter to prove it, where is your letter, Barry?). I don’t like having to use tax payer money to bail out losers, but I am left with no choice at this point, thank you Democrat Congress. Explains another socialist banking plan, but at least apologizes for it. Points out tax cuts must happen, really the only tried and true solution. By the way, Barry is going to tax the living snot out of you, Joe the Plumber!

Obama – As Dear Leader, I will cut taxes for 95% of Americans even though 40% of Americans don’t even PAY taxes. Free money for all! I am not going to tax you, Joe the Plumber! Unless you make over $250K, then all bets are off! Where did I get that number? Dunno, it just sounded good. But I am also going to tax EVIIILLLL corporations. I call it my EVILLLLLL Corporation Tax and the more evil I deem you, the more you pay. Exxon Mobile? Get out the “going out of business” signs! BWHAHAHAHAHA

McCain – Look, World Leader. The US has the 3rd highest corporate tax in the world. Guess where they go if you increase that? The Countries numbered 4 on down. Guess what goes with those corporations? JOBS. And Joe? You get taxed out the whazoo, too.

Lots of bad stuff being said to each other. Can’t we all get along?

McCain – He started it. Every time I turn around, he is saying something negative about me – making shiz up even. Today! a George Wallace comparison and very ugly things said. Are you going to repudiate that, Senator Obama?

Obama – no

McCain – see?

Obama – You said I pal around with terrorists and am a liar!

McCain – Only because you do and you are.

Obama – (seething):

On Ayers: I was 8 when Ayers did bad things. Blah blah. We were on a board about school reform – headed by Reagan’s great friend, Annenberg. He is not on my campaign for the last time!

McCain - The “I was only 8” has lost its sparkle. You weren’t 8 when you served on the Annenberg Challenge, and you weren’t 8 when you had your political coming out party at the Ayer’s abode. You weren’t 8 when he was published standing on the American flag 9/11/2001, where he also announced he felt he hadn’t done enough during his Weatherman years. (What should have been added - Oh by the way, it wasn’t some group he joined – it was a domestic terrorist group he FOUNDED. Simply shaking your head saying it isn’t true and deleting references from your website doesn’t cut it – there are documents proving all of the above happened. Tells us, Barry. How’d that school reform thing actually work out? One more thing, did anyone let you know Annenberg was somewhat dead while you served on that board so although eligible to vote under ACORN rules, he was not endorsing your Marxist indoctrination plan. When did anyone accuse you of having Ayers on your campaign staff? The issue isn’t Ayers advising you, it’s the past association we want to know about. I’ll wait why you explain that.

Obama – Stop with the ACORN. I only worked on Motor Voter.

McCain - just motor voter? Seriously? Barry, have you heard of this little thing on the internet called “Youtube”?

The My Running Mate can beat up Your Running Mate question –

Obama on Biden – He has the best foreign quality experience. For example, that brilliant strategy to divide up Iraq. He also remembers where he came from – just not the fact that the restaurant he went too last month closed 20 years ago. He cares about womens too, by sponsoring the “Violence Against Womens” Act.

Obama on Palin – (invoking Hillary Clinton) She is quite capable.

McCain on Palin –( I think he said she was a “breast of fresh air” and then corrected it – its not running all over the news, so maybe I misheard. If he did say it, that is pretty close to a Biden scale gaffe!) Lots of examples as to how “Senator” Palin took on the Alaskan Good Ole Boys network. (He returned to her correct title of Governor the rest of the evening) knows about energy reform which we need, so yep, she is top notch.

McCain on Biden – well if by qualified you mean he is over 35 and a native born citizen, I suppose he is. (not really, but close enough and that is what he was thinking)

Free Trade! Or Not!

McCain – important for our economy, need to keep going with Columbia, they buy lots of our stuff which means we get money.

Obama – After studying history with Joe Biden, I need to say that NAFTA is Bush’s fault. He used the Rovian Mind Meld which forced Clinton to sign it. It’s very bad, that trade with Columbia because there is violence in that country. Once I stop that violence, trade can just start up again beginning with fairies and unicorns. Meanwhile, let’s keep that Peruvian unicorn trade going.

McCain then Hoovered Obama, then McCain drew attention to O’s “eloquence” which is a buzzword for lie.


Health Care -


Obama tells us a little story about 2 laid off ladies with no health insurance, and then rambles on, and on about socialized health care that isn’t really, it’s only socialized if you don’t get it through work.


McCain – the give and take health care plan, free choice, lowered taxes


Obama – companies will stop covering if they find out people can use their own money to buy a plan (but they won’t if they know the government will pick up the tab totally under the Obama plan?)


McCain – if you want socialized medicine, go stand in line for care in Canada and England, you shmuck


Obama – “Y’all heard my plan”


Education –


Obama – I have this little program I like to call the “Whitney Houston Education Reform Act”. I believe our children are our future…


McCain – ok then – I think parents should be able to do what we do, Barry and send them to good schools. Bad teachers, outta there. Use vouchers, they work.


Obama – I don’t like bad teachers either! Ummm..I mean, re-train them 53 times, THEN fire them (sorry teacher’s union, please still send me your cash). Can we sing again? I BELIEVE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE, AND I HATE PLUMBERS NAMED JOE….


SCOTUS


McCain – after dancing, “I will put in judges who follow the Constitution as it is written and not legislate from the bench” This dingbat over here blocked a great judge and voted against others for ideological reasons.


O – I will put in judges who will think about the Constitution, but then rule for the greater good of the people. I voted against those judges because they don’t believe the Constitution is nuanced.


Abortion-


McCain – Roe v. Wade is a bad decision. Up to states, federalists, but if it was up to me? Nope. Adopt. Better for the child.


O – Roe v. Wade is right on the money in the right to privacy clause written in invisible ink in the constitution. Must have abortion – at all costs. Health of mother.


McCain – eloquence again. Health is stretched to anything. But if you care about health so much, what about those babies born alive that you wouldn’t give care too?


O – no, doctors must do to some oath or something like that. Didn’t matter if I voted no to appease! Plus, babies are burdens.


Summary –


McCain – we do not need any more taxes. The democrat congress for the last 2 years have screwed us all. Do you REALLY want to put this guy in for the grand finale?


O – I will have the federal gov’t more involved in schools, healthcare, unicorn trade, business and pay for everyone’s house all the while lowering taxes for 95% of the American population. Then some other line of crap - in all honesty I have no idea what he said.


Observation – if Obama answers second, he does great. Why? He repeats the question and then repeats McCain’s answer! If he goes first, he stumbles. Interesting.

Debate Article in PAST Tense?

What gives? This was posted over 1 hour BEFORE the debate - did someone press the send button too soon and let the cat out of the bag? Has the media gone so far in the tank they are writing about the outcome of the debate pre-debate? Have the post debate analyses been pre-recorded as well? Even if McCain hits one out of the park tonight, looks like its been decided Obama won and the media will let us know what we just heard.

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 3 minutes ago

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - John McCain sought to change the course of a campaign moving decidedly in Barack Obama's direction Wednesday night in the third and final presidential debate.With less than three weeks until the Nov. 4 election, the 90-minute debate focusing on the economic crisis offered the Republican senator from Arizona what could be one of his last big chances to persuade voters to give the race another look.

Polls show Obama, the senator from Illinois, with a clear lead nationally and in several key battleground states.

McCain was keenly aware of the stakes he faced after two debates in which supporters suggested he was insufficiently forceful against Obama...

The Debate Redux - Part Uno

For those that just could not get through that debate, here is a recap -

Question 1 - So, the economy is all screwed up and no one knows what to do. What do you do and what’s in it for me?

Obama - We shouldn’t be afraid, but LOOK OUT HERE COMES THE NEXT GREAT DEPRESSION!!! Bush, blah, blah, firing squad for CEOS, Bush, McCain, blah blah, and for you, the little people, more policies.

McCain – I have a plan that does not include anywhere the word “Bush”. Energy from here, money stays here and doesn’t buy Ahmadinejad’s wife new burkas, your money stays under your mattress, oh! And I almost forgot! Treasury Sec will buy up mortgages and renegotiate the terms to make them more favorable for you. Sound good?

Brokaw (who was an interesting shade of orange) – Who is the new SecTreas, pray tell?

McCain – anyone but you, because you are orange. Oh, I don’t know…lemme think. Warren Buffet? Nahhhh….Meg Whitman? Yeah, she would be pretty good, and since she isn’t working for ebay any longer, she probably has the time. You know about ebay, right? You have listed all your worldly belongings on there recently to pay your mortgage that the damn dems screwed up. (oh wait, that is what he was SUPPOSED to say, but didn’t).

Obama – Me? I have to pick someone? Hey! I know Warren, too! We had watercress sandwiches just the other day at the club. Oh, did you ask a question? Bush! I mean its his fault, ummmm…yeah.

Question 2 – Déjà vu, so this bailout, WTF?

McCain – Fannie and Freddie are all f’d up, thanks to Obama’s socialist demoncrat friends. Oh, and guess who is second place in receiving blood money from the idiots running Freddie and Fannie? Not me! Oh no, that would be BARACK OBAMA. What’d you do with the money, Barry? Enquiring minds want to know.

Obama – Wow. McCain is really, really dumb. I don’t know anyone named Fannie or Freddie. I wrote a letter, I tried to fix it, but it didn’t work! No one listened, I am not all that effective! Ummmm…but people staying in their houses, that is a great idea – but uhh..not how McCain said they should. Bloviate, blah blah…have to take care of really important financial stuff. REALLY important. And big. Big big financial doings. Yep.

McCain – letter? Obama, I wrote a letter saying do something dammit because the yahoos controlling this congress are running it right in the ground and your name so was not on that letter… sheesh. Americans are wonderful and really smart.

Question 3 – You guys both suck. Tell me, which one of you sucks less?

Obama – Did you just say I suck? Let me tell you who sucks around here. BUSH. Bush is the king of suck. You know why? Because he is BUSH. McCain sucks too. Why? Because he is Bush. And…um…Washington lobbyists suck too. We need more policies. I have decided that I like the Biden version of the Constitution, so I am going to spend your money on key issues, congress rules be damned! Did I mention Bush sucks? Ok.

McCain – That was interesting. You know what really sucks? Obama’s ability to spend money like we print it up down the street. Billions, he spends and when he finally gets a coherent sentence out, we learn he wants to spend billions more. On a damn projector, people, your messiah spent 3 million dollars! Do you not get that he is going to take all of your money and for what? A multimillion dollar projector that you, middle class American, could go to staples and buy for like $50? We need to focus on energy independence which will create lots and lots of jobs. And if I am President, you get to actually keep the paycheck that you earn! Now that is novel reform right there. Oh, and guess what kind of energy? We need to drill, baby, drill. We shouldn’t be giving hard earned American cash to those terrorists just so they can use it on more weapons to kill our Soldiers! That is damn crazy talk, sending our money there. You know what else? Nuclear. Yep. Nuclear. And guess what? We have the technology to do that and do it well. And there will be jobs. GO AMERICA!

Obama - grimace.

Brokaw – And how will you prioritize these issues? What first?

McCain – prioritize? This is America! We will do them all, and do them all well because we can! When you have a brain, you can use it! A foreign concept to some, I realize, but I am able to reach across the aisle and work some deals. Like McCain/Feingold, and when I worked with Kennedy. (and right at this moment, thousands of Republicans threw up – ed)

Obama – we must prioritize. Yes. We should. We can’t do things all at one time, oh no. We can’t do them all at once, either. We can go to the moon, Alice! And then get health care all shored up, and the bills won’t have tons of extras because I will just pick the parts I like!

McCain – Obama, you cannot be this stupid, can you? There is NO line item veto and you know why? YOUR PARTY WON’T LET IT HAPPEN, asshat. (Ok, McCain didn’t say this, but he really should have).

Question 4 - Brokaw – amazingly, an Internet question from someone who was alive in the REAL great depression. What or who will you sacrifice?

McCain – I’m down with sacrificing. Everything stops. Slash and burn, baby. Except the Military, because that’s down right un-American to not support them. Everything else? No mas.

Obama – Let me tell you about a little story I’ve dubbed 9-11. On that day, as you may remember, that idiot Bush, who is also John McCain in drag, said go shopping. But…umm…really we should have civilians acting like the military so that umm…peace corp radicals can give the homicidal maniacs in the Army a break, and…ummm….public service, and…energy savings, wow, that’s tough at home, and I’m going to cut spending too! Yessiree! So long as I don’t cut one of my very important hope and change initiatives.

McCain – Good lord, man, what the hell did you just say? In using my handy, dandy Obama decoder ring, I understand you to say you are going to tax those “rich” people who earn $250K and more? Don’t you get that would be lots of small business owners and if you do this, they won’t be able to employ people? I won’t do that because its just a dumb idea. I say keep your money! Employ those people! Why? Because it makes sense, such a simple concept, isn’t it? (the throwing up republicans from earlier feel better now)

Obama – Hey! He was mean so I get to break the rules!

Brokaw – shut up, barry.

Question 5 – tell the world about Social Security

Obama – obviously, McCain will screw it up. Medicare will be toast too. But let me talk about that tax thing, even though you told me to shut up. I am NOT going to tax many small business owners. The ones that will get taxed? Screw ‘em (from KOS!!).

McCain – Are you able to focus at all, Senator? Ever? Shheesh. Let me answer the question for reals. I will fix it – its not so hard. Can the ear marks, get to work like Reagan did. Since Obama brought it up, though, he is going to tax and spend like a drunken sailor!

Question 6 – How are YOU planning to save all the butterflies in this big polluted world?

McCain – See, I am not George Bush. You know why? Because he doesn’t believe in Green. He is just so not with it. I feel we must take all sorts of steps to be green. Yes, we should. And you know what is green? Nukes, and I support nukes. But I don’t like George Bush all that much, because he doesn’t care about the environment, and I am greener than any San Fran loony out there.. (Republicans throwing up again)

Obama – I like Nukes and drilling too! Maybe. Or maybe I don’t. I’m not really sure. But I agree with McCain! Or maybe I don’t, do I? Hey! Shiny thing! Oh, how about if we give some stuff to China? Would that be green? If they are dollars, its green.

Stay tuned for part 2 -

Obama Admits Ayers Connection

via Gateway Pundit - Obama admits his work with Ayers made him qualified for his run for Senate -



The media's willful disregard for this information is by far the most egregious act of journalistic malpractice yet.

Obama's Ministry of Truth

I don't know how else to say it: This is frightening.

Barack Obama is using local law enforcement in Missouri to intimidate and harass those that dare criticize The One. Specifically, the campaign has demanded state law enforcement to prosecute any one that would say anything that could be a "lie or run a misleading TV ad" against Obama. MO Governor Matt Blunt issued an official response to this abuse calling Obama's "Police State tactics" a gross violation of free speech rights.

Barack Obama has attempted to stifle free speech in the past. It started with the announcement his middle name (Hussein) was off limits. Then it was Michelle, then it was a ban on trying to connect Obama to Rezco. It got heightened when Obama declared the Ayers subject not to be discussed (using minions here and an attempt at using the Department of Justice here.) There were the warning letters to GOP donors and the threats of lawsuits against the NRA.

All of the above was cause for concern, however this new step toward stifling dissent, called eerily enough the "Truth Squad", is chilling. It began in PA and moved to MO where Gateway Pundit has a great wrap up. These goon tactics seem to be coming to a state near you.

Most recently, Obama banned the use of signs at a rally in Virginia. Its for "safety reasons", the campaign says. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Obama hecklers (riiiiggghhhttt). This guy is a fanatical, socialist thug. If people don't wake up there are going to be documentaries in a few years about El Presidente los dios where the interviewees say "I never saw it coming".

But Sarah Palin is the Dumb One

This week's episode of "On the Campaign Trail With Camp Obama" is pure gold. Even more so than last week's when Senator Joe Biden asked a wheelchair bound politician to stand up and be recognized.

Ol' Joe met with Katie Couric , who is not pegging the smart-o-meter herself apparently, but we will get to that in a minute. Biden tells Katie the McCain email ad was "terrible". Realizing the ad was actually done by his team, Biden deflects and says Barry O didn't approve of such an ad before it aired. That part at the end saying "I am Barack Obama and I approved this ad" was planted there by an ingenious member of the Right Wing Conspiracy.

More funny than that is this quote:

"Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence is to demonstrate what he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people ... this is how we can fix this," Biden said. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'look, here's what happened.'"

I am fairly positive FDR did not get on television to communicate anything about the stock market crash in 1929. I am also confident in pointing out that even if television was an available medium to reach Americans, Hoover would have been the one communicating the "here's what happened".

Does Katie Couric call Biden on this? Nope. Not even body language suggesting Ms. Couric realized Mr. Biden didn't have the right president and TV was not yet being massed produced, let alone sitting in everyone's living room.

Moving along, Barry says Joe should have waited before saying he was against the AIG bailout - it sort of deflated Barry's McCain smack down for McCain saying the same thing as Joe! THEN Biden declares he is against clean coal production, but oopsie, Obama is for it.

Its only Tuesday. I do have a thought for the Dufus/Dufus ticket: they should consider using their superior technical acumen and send emails informing the other what they are going to say - perhaps this will increase the odds they actually say the same thing.

**thank you to Mark Levin for the Dufus/Dufus ticket.

But Can Obama Google?

By now we have all heard and or seen the ad from Camp Obama declaring John McCain unfit for the position of POTUS because he can't figure out email. I am guessing they don't have google at Camp Obama headquarters - either that or everyone is still in Alaska desperately looking for dirt on Sarah.

Had one of the 300 advisers done a bit of surfing themselves, they may have discovered this gem from 2000 -

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate's savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits.

Great job, Barack Obama Advertising Gurus! You have just created an ad poking fun at John McCain's war injuries. Had Senator Obama shown up for work a bit more, he may have noticed that Chairman part, too.

UPDATE -
It just occurred to me those whizkids at Camp Obama had their own technical snafu - 3am text message anyone? Not only was there an overload issue with getting the message out (hmm, that couldn't have been planned for) but they didn't even think through the logistics of getting Biden out without anyone in the press noticing! They had been camped out in front of the leading contenders houses for a few days looking for activity, which came in the form of Secret Service Agents whisking Biden away under the cover of...nothing.

My Lipstick Shade is "Angry"

Last night I was told my posts came off as angry and my verbiage beneath me. I absorbed this critique after getting over the fact that the F word was this particular person’s favorite noun, verb and adjective. The person in question really had my best interests at heart, and because I don’t use profanity in my everyday speech, I understand how reading it from me would feel abnormal. I then turned to the “angry” part and realized I am, in fact, angry.

Its righteous anger, though. I keep hearing self titled Feminists spouting messages on behalf of all womankind that don’t even come close to what I stand for. I keep hearing the likes of Joy Behar tell Larry King that Sarah Palin is a step back. Why is she a step back? Because she isn’t liberal. I am angry with this and want to scream, “All women are not like you, Joy! Or you, Sally Quinn! So shut up and think that maybe your message is no longer relevant. Maybe women DON’T want to be feminists, they want to be feminine and that doesn’t mean they aren’t strong and capable.” I also find it incredulous that a man who says the following has a real shot at being POTUS:

On Monday in Michigan, Obama became exercised when talking about the need to give even suspected terrorists legal rights.

“We may think this is Mohammed the terrorist,’’ he said at a campaign rally, but “it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You might think its Barack the bomb-thrower. But it might be Barack the guy running for president.’’

Continuing, he got more heated, his voice booming. Referring to the Constitution, he said: “Don’t mock the Constitution! Don’t make fun of it! Don’t suggest that it’s un-American to abide by what the founding fathers set up! It’s worked pretty well for 200 years!’’

He finished with a sigh: “These people."


I am one of Those People. The Constitution (and the Bill of Rights part, which is what Senator Obama is really referencing here) has worked well for 217 years, no thanks to the Democrats who attempt to dismantle it at every turn. I would love to have the Senator show me when in history we have granted rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield outside our borders the same rights granted to American Citizens. Our Fathers were quite clear in the power given to the Executive Branch to fight wars – not the Judiciary (the separate part of the separate but equal). The Constitution does not say anywhere that Non-Americans have this right, because the Founding Fathers never meant to give it!

In fact, the Founding Fathers allowed for The Writ to be suspended against Americans in times of war. They did this so when we are faced with Mohammed the Cab driver, who insists on passengers subscribing to his fanatical beliefs, which happen to be the same beliefs espoused by Mohammed the Terrorist, we figure out if Mo the Cabbie happens to also be Mo the Head Remover. As for Barack the Bombthrower, oh never mind, an Ayers reference here would be way too easy.

As a Constitutional Lawyer, none of this should be news to Barry. Or maybe not as only 29% of his supporters feel the Supreme Court should decide their cases based on the Constitution. So yes. I am justifiably angry, and I get angrier the more I come to realize half of our population is blindingly stupid.

Sure You Did, Barry

Barry O has sudden recall where he says he considered joining the Army. He failed to mention this in BOTH of his memoirs, but who are we to quibble?

Barry says he considered this while having to register for the Selective Service when he graduated from High School. This is all fine and well, but when Barry graduated, he wouldn't have HAD to enroll. The Selective Service was suspended in 1975 and didn't get reinstated until 1980 by Jimmah Carter, who made it retro to males born on or after January 1, 1960. Barry would have had to enroll, but NOT when he graduated high school and he specifically states "when graduating from High School" in the interview. Details, details. (Jimmah reinstated this because he was afraid of the Soviet Union. That showed them, no doubt!).

PS - I liked John McCain's speech. It had its dull moments; it certainly didn't continue the momentum that Sarah Palin started, but it was a good, bare bones "this is what I mean" speech which I will take any day over a fantastic orator that leaves you asking, what did he say he was going to do?

Thank You, B. Hussein Obama

Dear Barry O:

Thank you. Sincerely. From the bottom of my heart. You see, voting for McCain causes me great concern, and heartburn even. However each day you do something so moronic (like picking a guy for your VP that is the antithesis of your "change" message) I realize how important it is to ensure my chad is not hanging near the McCain name. You are convincing me that McCain is the right choice so that baby is going to be punched clean and clear. I am feeling better and better about my vote as this campaign rolls along.

You have given a gift not just to me, but to Team McCain. This group has created not one but TWO ads within 24 hours using only quotes from your side of the fence proving you are a nincompoop. The Biden one was ironic and funny, but this one? Priceless. The only thing that could possibly be funnier is if McCain picked Hillary to be his VP. We would have our guy on War and she could work over Congress and the Senate. - I AM KIDDING, TEAM McCAIN! IT IS A JOKE! DO NOT RUN WITH THIS! - ed.

Keep it up, Barry. You are doing a great job.

Yours Truly,

AW
