Mrs Obama's view of the Media

According to Michelle Obama, the media is supposed to push an agenda, not publish facts. This is a very scary attitude, in one who (G-d forbid) may become First Lady.

"Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. "

Mrs Obama, the plain fact is this:
Your husband, Barack Hussein Obama, refuses to produce his Hawaiian Birth Certificate for the Federal Court in Philadephia.

The question is: Why not?

This should be asked of Obama.

E.J. Dionne wonders if John McCain has become "the midwife of a new movement built around fear, xenophobia, racism and anger." His conclusion?

McCain has an obligation, to his own legacy and the country he has served, to separate himself and his campaign from the kooks. Extremism in defense of liberty may be no vice, but extremism in pursuit of the presidency is as dysfunctional as it is degrading.

Since, Obama does not separate himself from the terrorists, kooks and extremists who support him, why do you demand this of McCain?

Obama who has offered only two reasons to vote for him -
I am Black, and it is racism to vote against me.
If I lose, there will be riots in the streets.

Dear Obama,
We are electing a Commander in Chief, not a Thug in Chief.
This is not a third world nation.

Remind your supporters, that there is no money available to rebuild their 'hoods after the Wall Street Bailout was forced upon us by the Democrats.

Respectfully,
A US Citizen

Impartial my arse.

The "impartial" inquiry into Governor Palin's reassignment of a political appointee.

In September, before the "investigation" started:

Democratic state Senator Hollis French, the lead investigator in the smear campaign against Governor Palin, promised his party that the results of the Troopergate probe would be an "October surprise" that would "likely be damaging to the administration."


Hollis French (fifth from left) and fellow Troopergate hack Kim Elton (on left with beard) who has donated to the Obama Campaign sit on the panel investigating popular governor Sarah Palin.

Governor Palin fired former public safety director Walt Monegan for several incidents of insubordination.
French and Monegan are close friends.


The governor did nothing wrong in firing an insubordinate employee.

The Sky is NOT Falling

Wall Street, USA

The NYSE opened down and continue to go down until the NYSE bottomed out at ~9500 (-8%) at about 2:30pm, but the market does not close until 4pm.

The market was back at ~10,000 (-2%) at closing. That was a very steep climb to finish the day.

But of course, the media and bloggers, stopped looking at the market once it started to climb.

The sky is still up there, and it is still blue.

Double Standard

Joe Biden won the debate substantively. Sarah Palin won it stylistically. Sound familiar? John McCain won the first debate substantively, but all anybody wanted to talk about was how he wouldn’t look at Barack Obama. Obama was vague in his answers, but he looked good, so he won the debate.

So, if Obama says nothing but 'looks cool' he wins.
But if Palin has more style but less substance, she loses.

Don't look at how inexperienced Obama is,
Governor Palin only runs a small state (populationwise),
she only ran a small town.

Obama has run nothing except his mouth.

Where's Obama?

Democrats fiddle, while America burns.

“From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families.

“Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill.

“Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome.

“This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.”

—McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin

WTF! Congress Fails to pass Urgently Needed Bailout, Takes 2 days off. WTF!

WTF!

We need a deal, now!
Congress must act, now!

Bailout Deal Fails.
94 Democrats oppose the bill

Congress responds to their failure, by taking two days off.

If this crisis is so urgent, How can Congress take time off? Congress needs to stay in session and do their job.

Speaker Pelosi fails again

The Massive Financial Sector Bailout Bill is failing.

Speaker Pelosi is unable to deliver the bailout bill, 94 Democrats oppose the Democrat Speaker of the House.
Republican Minority Leader Boehner, delivered 65 votes for this ghastly measure, going against Republicans principles.

Thank G-D for House Republicans.
They have stood up for their principles. They are refusing to risk taxpayers money to cover-up the criminal activities of the Democrats.
Democrats,
who refused to regulation Fannie/Freddie,
who demanded loans be given to uncreditworthy minorities,
who turned a blind eye to "enron accounting" at Fannie/Freddie,

Democrats who turn to former CEO's of Fannie/Freddie for economic advise,
Democrats who gleefully received $100's of thousands of dollars from Fannie/Freddie.

Now we see what was brought with that money.

By the way.
Senator John McCain is working on this situation,
Senator Obama is campaigning.

Obama quotes from the debate

These are quotes from Senator Obama, made during the debate last night.

1. Well, I think Senator McCain’s absolutely right that we need more responsibility …
2. Well, Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused …
3. And he’s also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the ones that are introducing these kinds of requests ….
4. Now, John mentioned the fact that business taxes on paper are high in this country, and he’s absolutely right.
5. But John is right we have to make cuts.  [And then Obama refused to note even a single cut he'd be willing to make.]
6. Senator McCain is absolutely right that the violence has been reduced as a consequence of the extraordinary sacrifice of our troops and our military families.
7. And, John, I — you’re absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say.
8. Now, Senator McCain is also right that it’s difficult.
9. Senator McCain is absolutely right, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.

Is Obama campaigning for McCain? Sure sounds like it.

Why online polls are often wrong.

Posted on DKos  9/27/08 1:55 am

One more reaction thread

Given the CNN and CBS polling, the public has overwhelmingly crowned Obama the winner of the debate. It seems that Republicans spent so much time trashing Obama's "lack of experience" and "lack of judgment" on national security, that expectations were ridiculously low, and as a result, people were pleasantly (and happily) surprised.

******
Gee, Kos seems so smug, "the public has overwhelmingly crowned Obama".

But, since Kos asked his readers to freep (stuff) the online polls, it should not be a surprise. All those basement dwelling teenagers, who aren't old enough to drive, let alone vote, going to the various online polls to promote Obama.

But you think I made this up.
look below the fold.

But consider the online poll at DrudgeReport.com:

{{{{DRUDGE POLL}}}} WHO WON THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE?...

MCCAIN

68%

218,644

OBAMA

30%

96,004

NEITHER

2%

7,743

Total Votes: 322,391

Kos forgot the poll at the most popular online news site.

Thank God for the House Republicans

First, it was the House Republicans who stood up and kill the Immigration Reform Act, and pressed for a fence to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

Second, it was the House Republicans who stayed in DC, to demand a vote on offshore drilling, which has resulted in the lifting of the Congressional ban on offshore drilling.

Now, it is the House Republicans who are standing up and saying that the $700,000,000,000 Wall Street Bailout is bad for America. They have proposed a less costly, and less risky plan to restore the credit markets.

The Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, do not need any Republicans votes in the House to pass bills. But the Democrats don't want to be blamed for this bailout, The Democrats created this mess by demanding banks loan (give) money to people who could not afford to pay it back - affordable housing for all (especially minorities, because it is wrong to consider the ability of the borrower to pay back the loan if they are part of minority group).

The Senate Democrats do need a few Republicans to allow a vote on this bill.

Republicans led by Senator McCain, are willing to risk the election, while trying to work with the Democrats to draft a bill which will actually help our economy.
Democrats led by __________, are not willing to risk the election, are not willing to take the blame if the bailout fails.

Brownshirts for Obama

Barack Obama’s campaign is trying to silence the National Rifle Association’s latest ad campaign using strong arm tactics by threatening them with possible legal action if they run the ads:

Failure to prevent the airing of “false and misleading advertising” may be “probative of an underlying abdication of licensee responsibility” Cosmopolitan Broad. Corp v. FCC, 581 F.2d 917, 927 (D.C. Cir. 197 .

So basically, stop running NRA’s ads, or your broadcast license could be in jeopardy. They detail the WaPo’s FactCheck.org repetition as proof. This is Chicago politics at its finest folks. If you can’t win fair, win dirty. This is not how a free society is supposed to function. This is not the kind of man I want leading my country.

Besides, every bit of what NRA claimed is true. It’s the Obama campaign and the news media that’s lying. The ads are based on a real, proven record.

Why we should not bailout Wall Street.

Rep. McCotter's (R-Mich) Forceful Rebuke of Bailout Plan on House Floor

Before I was elected to Congress we used to hear that when faced with a crisis, members of Congress would invariably soil themselves, throw money at the problem and hope that it went away.

Unfortunately, in these dysfunctional economic times, we find that this process has continued.

As Americans face a potential meltdown of the financial sector, we have seen what I believe to be an inappropriate response starting with this Administration.

From the time we were informed that a potential financial meltdown was going to occur, this separate equal branch of government which is the U.S. Congress was told that we had but one alternative and that if we did not pass it quickly — in the time specified *by* the executive branch — that our economy would be severely damaged.

It has been my opinion that we were elected, by the sovereign people of the United States, to make important decisions on their behalf, to do it with the due diligence and devotion that is due and to come up with a positive solution to their situation.

Last night, I was struck by the fact that again we were told [by the President] that again if we did not give unlimited amounts of money and unlimited powers to the Executive Branch that *we* were failing in our due diligence and responsibilities to the American people.

I heard the President of the United States say that we do not understand the need to act.

That statement is false. We understand the need to act.

We heard from the President of the United States that we did not care about American families.

That statement is false. We care very much about American families.

What we did not hear was a recognition that a three-page document that gives to the Treasury Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve powers — the likes of which Stalin and Mao killed people for — was not an acceptable response to give to this separate, equal branch of government.

Today, we are told that House Republicans are standing in the way of a $700 billion use of your tax dollars to bail out the very people who caused this problem!

Guilty as charged!

House Republicans believe there is an alternative.

The Administration tells us that their first, last, only resort is to go to the taxpayers and bail out Wall Street. We fundamentally disagree with this!

Wall Street should bail out Wall Street.

House Republicans believe that the toxic assets clogging up our economy should first attempt to be recapitalized by the very people sitting on the sidelines with their money waiting for you the taxpayer to be fleeced and put it in so they are “confident that the market will work”.

We can not re-inflate the bubble.

The people who on Main Street invested and saved and had good credit their entire lives should not be asked to go back in to help cowboy capitalists who shot themselves in the foot.

I have supported the President when he has been correct.

But he is in err now.

House Republicans stood and supported the Patreus surge.

Today House Republicans oppose the Paulson splurge so we can have prosperity in America in the long run.

We will not engage in a rush to judgment that destroys the possibility of the free market and prosperity for decades to come.

We will not walk out of this room after a forced vote waving a piece of paper in our hands claiming “fleeced in our time.”

We *will* do the job we were entrusted with.

Selfish vs Unselfish

Senator Obama thinks HIS campaign is more important than the US economy.

Barack Hussein Obama acted upon his belief that his quest for the Presidency is most important by continuing to campaign while ignoring the need to do his duty as a US Senator.

Vs.

Senator McCain who paused his campaign to return to DC, to do his DUTY as a US Senator.

John S McCain asked President Bush to convene a leadership meeting, to discuss solutions to the financial crisis. Per McCain request, the President did call a meeting of Congressional leaders and Senators McCain and Obama.

QUESTION:
Which candidate showed that he is ready to lead this nation?

ANSWER:
Senator John McCain.

Obama thinks the NATION has a DUTY to SERVE him.
McCain understands his DUTY to SERVE our NATION.

Today in History

In 1957, the President of the United States ordered the 101st Airborne to protect nine (9) black students in Little Rock, Arkansas. Additionally, the President federalize the Arkansas National Guard, so the Governor could not use them to oppose the US Army Airborne.  

Two US Senators objected to the President enforcing a Federal Court order. Comparing the action to the Soviet invasion on Hungry in 1956.

Name the President and his party.
Name the Senators and their party.

The Man Who Never Was

And Hopefully, Never Will Be.

from RealClearPolitics

Media Campaigns Hard for Obama

By Tony Blankley

The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight-out propagandists for the Obama campaign.

...

And as a result, we are less than seven weeks away from possibly electing a president who has not been thoroughly or even halfway honestly presented to the country by our watchdogs -- the press. The image of Obama that the press has presented to the public is not a fair approximation of the real man. They consciously have ignored whole years of his life and have shown a lack of curiosity about such gaps, which bespeaks a lack of journalistic instinct.

Thus, the public image of Obama is of a "man who never was."

...

The mainstream media ruthlessly and endlessly repeat any McCain gaffes while ignoring Obama gaffes. You have to go to weird little Web sites to see all the stammering and stuttering that Obama needs before getting out a sentence fragment or two. But all you see on the networks is an eventually clear sentence from Obama. You don't see Obama's ludicrous gaffe that Iran is a tiny country and no threat to us. Nor his 57 American states gaffe. Nor his forgetting, if he ever knew, that Russia has a veto in the U.N. Nor his whining and puerile "come on" when he is being challenged. This is the kind of editing one would expect from Goebbels' disciples, not Cronkite's.

...

But worse than all the unfair and distorted reporting and image projecting are the shocking gaps in Obama's life that are not reported at all. The major media simply have not reported on Obama's two years at New York's Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers. Later, they both ended up as neighbors and associates in Chicago. Obama denies more than a passing relationship with Ayers. Should the media be curious? In only two weeks, the media have focused on all the colleges Gov. Palin has attended, her husband's driving habits 20 years ago, and the close criticism of the political opponents Gov. Palin had when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

But in two years, they haven't bothered to see how close Obama was with the terrorist Ayers.

...

Perhaps that is why the National Journal's respected correspondent Stuart Taylor wrote, "The media can no longer be trusted to provide accurate and fair campaign reporting and analysis."

Biden's Braindead Supporters

Biden said that he's "done more than any other senator combined" for trial lawyers.

"There are two people -- you've heard me say it before -- two groups that stand between us and the barbarians at the gate," Biden said. "It's you and organized labor. That's it. That is it. So, mark my words, mark my words, if we lose this election, you are going to continue to see a continuation of the onslaught on everything we care about. For real. For real. So, I'm not only thanking you for your help. I would think you're all absolutely brain-dead if you didn't help. And I mean it."

So, let me summerize:
Biden is for trial lawyers.
Biden is pro-union.
Biden will have his lawyers sue, if they lose.
Biden will have the unions riot, if they lose.

And tomorrow
Biden will say he was misquoted, because we, the people, are not smart enough to understand him.
