    More we don't know...

    During the summer, between his time at Occidental college in Los Angeles and Columbia Barack Obama - a poor student on food stamps - took a 3 week trip to Pakistan....bet you did not know that little fact.
    He usually skips over it in his life story. The details of this trip, and later his time at Columbia, remain a mystery. Cannonfire begins to connect some dots here.
    It may seem, at first, quite absurd to speculate that the young Hawaii-born Oxy student had been recruited into the American intelligence apparatus. The seeming absurdity of that idea lessens when we consider these factors...It is a good read. One that starts making sense of what seems nonsensical.

    As I've said over and over - Obama's accession is not a natural outgrowth of his talents. If he wins, he may be a good President. But he's not who he says he is. He's been helped along the way by some very powerful people. And some amazing "coincidences" - Jack Ryan's sealed divorce proceedings being exposed is a good example - and the financial meltdown artfully delayed (or pushed forward) to the Autumn.

    Cannonfire takes the money trail and expands it into the beginnings of a pretty good theory. A unified theory about the advent of Obama is tough. The caucus fraud, the overwhelming media bias, and endorsements that made no sense all point to some power players behind the scenes.

    Who?

    Khalidi question

    Rashid Khalidi is a good friend of the Obamas. Mr. Khalidi is PLO apologist who has given vocal support to suicide bombers. He was a PLO spokesman when it was a U.S. designated terror group. Take those facts alone. Now imagine if McCain or Clinton were good friends with Khalidi. What would MSNBC, Huffington, and the rest be doing with this information??
    Featuring clips of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair bound Jew shot and dumped into the sea aboard the Achille Largo by members of the P.L.O. - that's what.

    This gets to my primary beef with the media and this campaign. Obama gets a pass on everything. EVERYTHING. How ever one comes down on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict - would the American media give a pass to any other candidate regarding this friendship? No, of course not.

    Why does Obama get the all purpose pass on all his questionable connections? Please read that question as a question - not a complaint. I want to know why. Can it be as simple as "they like him"? I don't buy it. There is a reason for Obama's elevation at the cost of truth. What is it?

    Ayres oversaw the maiming of American citizens.
    Rezko took government cash while slum dwellers, in slums he owned, froze.
    Khalidi supported the murder of innocents.

    Any rational person questions the judgement of Obama. And yet the media does not. My hometown paper the Los Angeles Times is the latest example of blatantly covering up information that the public needs to know if it is to make an informed decision.

    WHY?

    Amnesia

    John has said repeatedly that being for Obama is a derangement syndrome. Not unlike the Bushies who, no matter what he did, still loved him.

    I don't know whether it's selective memory or just blind fealty to the party but it seems that people I know who were ardent Clinton supporters don't remember anything about the primary and are behind Obama now. Perhaps the real change they're hoping for is that he won't be the man he is.

    I cannot vote for a man who went to a racist church for twenty years. I can't forget that. Or that his pastor mocked my man Bill Clinton and dry humped on the alter to demean President Clinton.

    I cannot vote for a man who has lied repeatedly on everything from FISA to campaign finance to Acorn and on an on.

    I cannot vote for a man I am supposed to believe has such shallow relationships that everyone is "not the person I knew."

    I cannot vote for a man who has stepped on everyone to get where he is with no accomplishments to speak of except his rise to the top.

    I cannot vote for a man who called Bill & Hillary Clinton racists. Wait, where is Bill Clinton's office now? Could it be Harlem? Man, he is a racist.

    So I didn't. God help me but I voted for McCain. It was tough. While I was standing in line looking at the sample ballot I thought, how am I going to do this? But I live in an important swing state and I put my country first. I nearly threw up when I got back to my car. It's difficult to go against what you've always done. I've always voted Democratic.

    But I couldn't forget who Obama is and what he has done.

    An Obama worker talks...???

    Posted on Team Sarah
    Pretty interesting stuff. True? Not True?


    After a long and careful consideration of all the implications and possible consequences of my actions today, I have decided to go through with this in the hope that our country can indeed be guided into the right direction. First, a little personal background...I am a female grad student in my 20's, and a registered Democrat. During the primaries, I was a campaign worker for the Clinton candidacy. I believed in her and still do, staying all the way to the bitter end. And believe me, it was bitter. The snippets you've heard from various media outlets only grazed the surface. There was no love between the Clinton and Obama campaigns, and these feelings extended all the way to the top. Hillary was no dope though, and knew that any endorsement of Obama must appear to be a full-fledged one. She did this out of political survival. As a part of his overall effort to extend an olive branch to the Clinton camp and her supporters, Obama took on a few Hillary staff members into his campaign. I was one such worker. Though I was still bitterly loyal to Hillary, I still held out hope that he would choose her as VP. In fact, there was a consensus among us transplants that in the end, he HAD to choose her. It was the only logical choice. I also was committed to the Democratic cause and without much of a second thought, transferred my allegiance to Senator Obama.

    Im going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I'm doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job - to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I've come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn't have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything. Being in a position to know these things, I will rate what the Obama campaign already knows are their weak links from the most important on down.

    1. Hillary voters. Internal polling suggests that at best, we are taking 70-75% of these voters. Other estimates are as low as 60% in some areas - particularly Ohio and western PA. My biggest problem with this campaign's strategy was the decision NOT to offer Hillary the VP slot. She was ready and able to take this on, and would have campaigned enthusiastically for it. This selection would have also brought virtually all of her supporters into the fold, and the Obama campaign knew it. Though I have no way of knowing this for certain, and I do admit that I am relying on internal gossip, Senator Obama actually went against the advice of his top advisors. They wanted him to choose her, but the only significant opposition to this within the campaign came from Barack and Michelle Obama. In short, he let personal feelings take precedence over what was the most logical thing to do. Biden, by the way, has been a disaster inside the campaign. Everyone cringes whenever he gives an interview, and he creates so many headaches as the campaign has to stay on their toes in order to disseminate information and spin whatever it was he was trying to say.

    2. Sarah Palin. Don't believe what the media is telling you about how horrible a choice she was. Again, our internal polling suggest that though she has had a minimal impact on pulling disaffected Hillary Democrats to McCain, she has done wonders in mobilizing the base for McCain. Another thing - we were completely taken by surprise with her pick. In my capacity in the research department, I looked into the backgrounds of Leiberman, Romney, Pawlenty and Ridge, and prepared briefs. I don't mind bragging that we had pretty good stuff on all of them. With Leiberman, the plan was to paint him as an erratic old-timer who didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing (pretty much a clone of McCain). In Romney, we had him pegged as an evil capitalist who cut jobs. Pawlenty was going to get the "Quayle treatment", or more precisely: a pretty face, with no valid experience. Tom Ridge was going to be used to provide a direct link from McCain to Bush. As you can see, we were quite enamored of all of them. Then the unexpected happened -Sarah Palin. We had no clue as to how to handle her, and bungled it from the start. Though through our misinformation networks, we have successfully taken some of the shine off. But let there be no doubt. She remains a major obstacle. She has singlehanded solidified "soft" Republican support, mobilized the McCain ground game, and has even had some appeal to independents and Hillary voters. This is what our internal polling confirms.

    3. Obama's radical connections. Standards operating procedure has been to cry "racism" whenever one of these has been brought up. We even have a detailed strategy ready to go should McCain ever bring Rev. Wright up. Though by themselves they are of minimal worth, taken together, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfelger, and now, Rashid Khalili, are exactly what the campaign does not need. The more focus on them, the more this election becomes a referendum on Obama. The campaign strategy from the very beginning was to make this election a referendum on Bush. Strategists have been banging their head on how successfully McCain has distanced himself from Bush. This has worked, and right now the tide is in his favor. People are taking a new look at Barack Obama, and our experience when this happens tells us this is not good news at all. When they take a look at him, one or more of these names are bound to be brought up. McCain has wisely not harped on this in recent weeks and let voters decide for themselves. This was a trap we set for him, and he never fully took the bait. Senator Obama openly dared him to bring up Ayers. This was not due to machismo on the part of Obama, but actually due to campaign strategy. Though McCain's reference to Ayers fell flat in the last debate, people in the Obama campaign were actually disappointed that he didn’t follow through on it more and getting into it. Our focus groups found this out: When McCain brings these connections up, voters are turned off to him. They’d rather take this into consideration themselves, and when this happens, our numbers begin to tank.

    4. The Bradley Effect. Don't believe these polls for a second. I just went over our numbers and found that we have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada. Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but is too close to call it for him. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa are the true "toss up states". The only two of these the campaign feels "confident" in are Iowa and New Mexico. The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley Effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign. In general, we tend to take a 10 point percentage in allowing for this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark. This is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania! This is why Ohio is such a desperate hope for us! What truly bothers this campaign is the fact that some pollsters get up to an 80% "refuse to respond" result. You can't possibly include these into the polls. The truth is, people are afraid to let people know who they are voting for. The vast majority of these respondents are McCain supporters. Obama is the "hip" choice, and we all know it.

    As part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a "feel" as to what is being talked about on the other side. Much of it is nonsense, but there are some exceptions which give the campaign jitters. A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them. A more disorganized, but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as redstate.com. Don't you guys get it? This has been the Obama campaign's sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. This is how it has been for all of his campaigns. What surprises me is that everyone has fallen for it. You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all of this. If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. How did we skew these polls, you might ask? It all starts with the media "buzz" which has been generated over the campaign. Many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered. None of this happens by coincidence. It is all part of the poll-skewing process. This makes pollsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democratic voters. What is not mentioned or reported on is not the "under-reported cell phone users or young voters" we hear so much about. What is underreported is you.

    I changed my somewhat positive opinion of this campaign during the unfair and sexist campaign against Sarah Palin. I will never agree with her on the issues and will probably never vote for her, but I am embarrassed of what has happened. I can't ignore our own hand in all of this. What I do know is that I will not be voting for Obama this time around. Treat that as you will.

    Palin effigy removed.

    The punks who hanged Palin in effigy have finally taken their morbid, depraved stunt down. I submit to you again: If someone had foisted an effigy of Obama with a noose as a Halloween decoration they would have been strung up. This one lasted a week. And took protests from the mayor and neighbors to get down. What is so galling is that these Pods felt it was perfectly okay.

    Post racial, my ass. Hanging a white women...A-Okay...for over a week.

    Gay of the Day: Freddie Mercury. Vote no on prop 8!!!!

    No on 8 - If you are in LA there is a No on 8 rally downtown on Sunday.

    The Gay of the Day is the Late Great Freddie Mercury.

    Cuz, Mercury a wild gay man who died in 1990, has had a lasting effect on "straight" sports culture. As a sports fan I always love when certain standards are played on the loudspeakers (YMCA) and thousands of macho straight guy start singing songs written by intense, talented, out there gay guys...many of these same sports fans will vote to strip gays of basic rights this Tuesday....many will not...

    I don't know if "diversity" is a useful value or not. As it is preached now, I doubt it . I do know creation/life/God/evolution puts a high value on and thrives in complexity. Life is complex. People are complex. Making room for the COMPLEXITY of life is something we all need to work on. (come to think of it, screw "diversity" - pseudo liberals of ruined this word, too. All it means now to Obama "liberals" is that people of different hues all think alike. - yeah THAT's diverse...)...

    Sometimes gay folks write songs that straight sports fans sing loudly and often... it's a complex world - pay attention!

    Enjoy Mr. Mercury:

    Why does the LA Times hate Jews?

    The post I wrote while watching House (pretty good, eh?!)

    One of the ways Obama Pods compensate for their violent impulses is to insist that an anti-Obama writer "kill themselves". I have been told to commit suicide by Pods a number of times in the last few months. This is a "murder wish" on the part of the Pods - most of whom still want to believe they remain in a rational universe and their support of Obama is based in something other than fantasy and projection. Underneath this murder wish is a fear of being stripped of the fantasy. One's defense of the ego's projection is almost impossible to dislodge. As a recovered alcoholic I can testify to this.

    Another Pod posted tonight telling me I should kill myself. Bad news for the Pod: I am happy and like my life. It's far from perfect but, hey, I'd be lost without a project. Great friends, the best dog ever, a decent job that makes my life seem much more glamorous than it is, and a big TV for college football (thanks to one of the great friends...).

    Stating that one should commit violence against oneself is a subjugation of a violent impulse that I find in many Obama Pods. The evidence is everywhere. Homes have been shot up. People have been beaten and threatened.

    This is one of the reasons I've become sublime about an Obama win. Either I'm right or I'm wrong. The only way to find out - since the media still refuses to do the job - is for Obama to take power. If I am right and Obama is a narcissistic, naive, corrupt President we will pay the price but Obama will be neutered by 2010. If I am wrong Obama will be a wise good leader who will govern from the middle and move the country out of the lunacy of the Cheney/Bush years. I win either way - self centered I admit.

    I am a guy who needs to know the why of things. I want to know the answer to what has occurred this year. All who have been watching closely know that something fundamental has shifted. My judgment now is that shift is negative. Obama has been elevated by unseen power and money. Talented and smart as he is, his rise is not reflective of his talent- and certainly not of his accomplishments as there are none.

    Mystery Pod also stated I "run a hate site". This also goes to confronting his/her fantasy. Any criticism - whether harsh or silly - of Obama is classified as "hate". This is not a "hate site" by any rational stretch. It is critical of Obama and the Obamamedia. And frankly hardly ranks as anti- obama sites go. In the insular world of PODs there is a lack of awareness of the breadth of the anti-obama movement. And if it is not a "movement" now it will become one quickly if he wins. Basic real fears about this man are deep and wide. Mass trashing of 40, then 50, then 60 then 70 percent of the population won't fly. Pods please start with the blog roll on this site. Look at the readers articles on any given day at RCP. Those of us who do not trust or like Obama and his minions are plentiful. We may not win the day on Tuesday - but until information comes to light that negates our views - I remain convinced we will win the war.

    I have been saying for months that underneath Obama support is a mob mentality. If Obama is well ahead in polls the mob acts like a massive frat party. If a pointed question is asked or information damaging to the lightbringer is revealed a fury is released. Joe the Plumber is the latest example. A citizen who asked a simple question that the candidate gave a "boneheaded" (or revealing) answer to was trashed. We saw this happen to Clinton through out the Spring. I do not think the Obama mob will change after the election. Many will grow tired of hatred dressed up as a cause. But violence is in the hearts of many of these people. Our job is to stay alert. To tell the truth. To force reality back into the conversation and defend the values that old school liberals (like me) and true conservatives share. Some of those values are: a defense of individual liberty, a fair and open government, opposition to racism and sexism, and a legitimate, balanced press. All these values have been trashed by Obama in his pursuit of power.

    I do not know who Obama is. I don't know if he's closest socialist as many say (there is evidence to suggest he is) or not. I know Obama is not who he says he is. And I know he has unleashed a lunacy on the Left. When this type of lunacy has been visited upon other countries it does not end well.

    Finally -to lessen the gravity a bit - my hunch now is that the country is going Left but not hard Left.

    At any rate, if he wins, we will get an answer.

    A reading from The Obama Scriptures - The Lord Speaketh

    From the GOSPEL OF THE LIGHTBRINGER. This is the only known gospel in which the ONE
    speaks to us in the first person.

    Chapter 6
    Verses 66-666

    So, my children is has come to passeth that I have it sowneth up
    (except if you count today's Gallup poll.)
    I have now purchaseth mucho airtimeth on all the media outlets
    For 30 minutes I will speaketh of why I am the one who is to be your leader
    and YOU will listen
    For the kingdom of heaven belongeth to those who come with me
    to the promised land of "cool"
    For I am cool.

    Since the time of my birtheth in Hawaii or Kenya
    The wise men have come to worship at my altar.
    Look to Ayres, and Rezko
    and Wright and Olberman
    Are they not wise men?

    Look to the Democratic Socialist of amerika
    And Frank Marshall Davis
    Are they not wise?

    Look to Odinga and Huffington
    and Hamas and Oprah and Soros
    All have endorsed me.

    For we must taketh the wealth of the middle and give it to the rich
    while we sayeth we are giving it to the poor.

    For we must say we are leaving Iraq
    While we stay in Iraq.

    For we must bring Israel to heal
    and spliteth Jerusalem
    As my squire Joe Biden has warned.

    For now is the time for all to come together
    FOR ME.

    I am the Truth and the Light and the Way
    No one shall come before me and expect to be rewarded
    I say unto you: It shall be easier for Bill O to get into MY Lincoln bedroom
    that it shall be for a man who does not follow me to get into heaven.

    So you much watch my show on Wednesday
    and you must be hypnotized by my greatness.

    Thus speaketh the Lord.

    Now I must go out back for a smoketh.

    Not a hate crime

    In reference to the post below please read this horror. Palin being hanged is "not a hate crime"

    Imagine if Obama was being "hanged" off some one's home.

    Obama IS POISON.

    The Obama Left is not evil yet - but they are on the path that leads straight to hell on earth.

    I swear I want to see someone "hang" Obama as a Halloween display and see the reaction. See these 2 punks who did this suddenly scream RACIST!

    a note on the black vote and "obama racism"

    A quick note on the Black vote. Obama is expected to get 90-95% of the Black vote. This is being discussed as "racist" - as surely that high percentage means Blacks are voting for Obama because of his race. This does not stand up. Every Democrat since 1964 has gotten between 85-92% of the Black vote. One would expect the Democratic nominee to get 90% of the Black vote. It is the norm. If Obama has an advantage this year with the Black vote it is with NEW black voters. This is to be expected. Obama is half Black. If Bill Richardson had been the nominee an upswing in Hispanic registration would have occurred, along with a lot of Brown Pride. Irish-Americans where proud and excited about John Kennedy in 1960...

    Obama has used and abused the race card all year. This has harmed the cause of addressing real racism. Since Obama has run a racist and sexist campaign from the Left, this means we must be more vigilant than ever in clearly opposing real bigotry and clearly opposing "Obama racism" - bullshit that plays on guilt spewed to achieve the effect of benefiting his campaign with no regard for consequences and no concern for real victims of bigotry.

    Another assault on Obama from the Left.

    For the past few days I have been hammering at the disappointment the "whole foods nation" is going to experience with a President Obama. I am in now in good company. Alexander Cockburn is a died in the wool progressive. In The Nation he hammers at Obama and the foolish "liberals" who have guzzled the kool aid.

    Obama's liberal defenders comfort themselves with the thought that "he had to say that to get elected". He did not.

    After eight years of unrelenting assault on constitutional liberties by Bush and Cheney, public and judicial enthusiasm for tyranny has waned. Obama has preferred to stand with Bush and Cheney. In February, seeking a liberal profile in the primaries, Obama stood against warrantless wiretapping. His support for liberty did not survive for long...

    As a political organiser of his own advancement, Obama is a wonder. But I have yet to identify a single uplifting intention to which he has remained constant if it has presented any risk to his progress.

    Read the rest.

    Barney gets too frank

    Barney Frank (who will never attain the coveted honor of being Liberal Rapture's "Gay of the Day". ) came right out and said it: Frank suggested to a local newspaper that Democrats should slash the defense budget by up to 25 percent and eventually may have to raise taxes on the rich.

    It so odd being an anti-Obama liberal blogger. I don't have a huge problem with the rich paying more taxes. Cutting military spending at another point in our history would not bother me much either. What does bother me is the double timing being done by the Obama Democrats and the media. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had said she intended to cut the defense by 25% - Wolf Bliter would crack in half on the air. Then 100 little Blitzers would scamper about the cheap CNN set asking leading questions about America's vulnerability.

    But Barney Frank, Obama Pod extraordinaire, will no doubt be ignored.

    Personal interjection: I can't stop watching True Blood. And I know it is awful. If it was a sin to be hooked on really bad television I'd go to confession. I already know of at least one drinking game in which viewers chug every time a character says something stupid. I presume whoever plays is hammered after 20 minutes. When the Aryan blondie vampire king of the bayou asked to spend some time with the lead Suki this line was "acted" by her brooding vampire lover: Eric is sheriff of area 5. It is a position of great power among our kind."

    Cringe.

    And yet - I can't stop watching. In fact, I hate that I have to wait a week between episodes.

    If he wins...

    5 things that will startle Obama's clueless voters in the first year:

    1. He will be forced to take military action against Iran. The U.S. military won't allow a Prez. O to look the other way. I know a number of prominent liberals in my community who - a few years back- insisted they would refuse to pay taxes if W attacked Iran. I wonder how they will react if BHO does? "Well gee, he's just a politician...." the stock answer when Obama sold his soul and voted for FISA???

    2. He will be much harder on Israel than expected. Everyone from Samantha Power to Jesse Jackson is telegraphing as much. Many Jewish liberals are in for a shock.

    3. The draw down in Iraq will be a continuation of Bush's policy. There will be no real change in Iraq policy. (though they will insist they are responsible for for the good and blame Bush for all bad)

    4. The economy will go from bad to worse. The primary policy will be "bailouts" one after another after another - but they won't be directed at the "joe the plumbers" they will be for the investment class and big business i.e. those financing his campaign now.
    The job market is going to get grimmer. Obama is a fantastic speaker but he does not "feel your pain" like Clinton did or inspire faith like FDR did - which is what the country will need. A lot a blue collar dems that are sucking it up and voting for BHO now will turn on him with ferocity.

    And his policies will be directed at helping those who brought him to the party. A hell of a lot of pro BHO younger people, thrown out of work are going to see how quickly they are thrown under the bus.

    5. Budget cuts will have to be made. The military will not be cut. Even the most myopic Code Pink freaks will have a moment of lucidity.

    I will be adding to this list as time goes by.....

    I told You so!

    OK, so I am resigned to Obama winning.

    Once elected he's going to suck. I could be wrong but nothing in his biography or resume leads me to believe that he will be a good President.

    I am going to play it like he did every time he does something wrong. Just like he was against the war from the beginning I was against his presidency from the beginning.

    Will all of his adoring fans heed Biden and stick with him through his mistakes? Will they still love him tomorrow when he doesn't end the war in Iraq and perhaps helps start a war with Iran? Will they still believe if he dismantles Social Security?

    It will be odd that no one will admit to have voted for him. I will be taking pictures of their yard signs and proudly sporting my I told you so bumper sticker.

    Get yours here!

    Amos and Andy and Sarah

    I am posting the ad below not because I endorse Palin as a candidate. I don't. I am almost certainly going to vote Green. However, the shafting of Palin by a biased propaganda machine usually referred to as the "media" has been severe and harsh. The way both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin have been treated should be of concern to real liberals. The attempt to diminish Palin has been overt. This is classic sexism. Women are not taken as seriously as men. Hence the continuing difference in pay rates. Any way to exploit this lingering stereotype is amplified.

    Palin did not help her cause by bumbling at least 3 interviews. But this is a matter of style not substance. Handling a confrontational interview is a learned skill. Given her new appearance on the national scene it should have been expected that she would not be good at it. The fact is Biden is a routinely a disaster in this context. His idiocies are ignored by the media. (When asked about ACORN yesterday Biden lied at least 3 times within a minute.)

    The mocking of Palin is analogous to Amos and Andy in the 1930' and 40's. A riff on a stereotype meant to play off the degradation an entire group of second class citizens.

    Palin is a relatively new Governor, but she is accomplished and daring. She is more accomplished than BHO by a large margin. I may not agree with some of what she has promoted but she is an effective Executive.

    I will not vote for her ticket for policy reasons. Still, it is clear her treatment by the media has been bigoted and nasty.

    Friday, October 24, 2008

    For God's sake, let's get on with it.

    I am bored with the election. There I said it. It seems like I should be writing "barring a large unforeseen event" here...but even a large unforeseen event would make no difference. I am bored because this election is over as far as I am concerned. Ah, if only it was THIS Tuesday. The blogger in me wants to move on to writing about what happens next. What is interesting to me now is how and when the BHO pixie dust wears off. I'd like to fast forward and get to it. But for the next 11 days the band aid will continue to be ripped off slooooowly.

    All the stars have aligned for Obama. Even the GOP wants to lose this election. And who can blame them.
    Journalism died in the nick of time for Obama. Actually - it has been in a coma since 2003 - awakening after Katrina sunk W - idiots responding to a CAT 4 will wake anyone up. Then it died for good this year.

    Questions of interest to me now:
    1. Will Obama govern from the Clinton middle or the Arugula Left
    2. If, as I assume, Obama governs from the middle when will the Whole Foods Nation turn?
    3. Will another version of the media emerge and begin to actually report on Obama? Yes - but when? It will start with BHO's first mistake. How long will the honeymoon be?
    4. What kind of executive will he be?
    5. Will his ego trump his ability to lead or be an adjunct to it?
    6. And that "test" Biden talked about...what will it be?

    I like the sport of campaigns. It is why the primaries were so disgusting to me. The rules were clearly obliterated. The general election has been more watchable - but barely. McCain did not learn from Clinton's mistakes. Rove - who does not call me for advice - got it right recently when he said McCain needed to hammer at the Ayres/Rezko stuff much earlier. Then a "joe the plumber" moment becomes an event that shifts the landscape. Luck is the residue of design. McCain will be a gentleman senator and not a gentleman President. When the media is in love with the other guy you've got to go over their collective "heads." That seems basic. But McCain never did it. The only way he could have trumped the media obama orgy is to go after BHO hammer and tongs earlier. He has defined Obama for 40% of the population. He needs 51%.

    Besides I like the ruff and tumble. Democracy is better when there is blood in the water. This is the way we get to see our potential leaders. It is also why fair trials are confrontational. The old warrior did not seem to realize he was in a war until the last 2 weeks.

    I suppose Obama ran a good campaign. Who knows? The media never questioned him. He's not being elected, he's being elevated. I want to have some admiration for BHO's campaign but I am left with the sense that it was a formality. An entertainment. The collective powers that be want Obama and Obama is who they-and we- shall get.

    I felt the same thing in 2000. I never thought Bush would NOT become President. The POWER was behind him. Same thing this year. Obama is owned. He may not even know it. But he is.

    The nice thing here is that - whether I wrote about it or not I don't know: I can't remember - I thought this election was over a while ago and I've adjusted myself to it. And frankly, my expectations for BHO are so low it will be impossible to be disappointed.

    Many others are not so lucky.

    A year from now.

    I have a theory about the next year. Okay - a couple of theories. But one that struck me two days ago has been rolling around in my head collecting other thoughts and though it is clearly not a complete theory - I am going to midwife it now.
    It assumes an Obama win - sorry. The polls are all over the map and the race is probably tighter than it appears. But the media won't allow Obama to lose. How much Palin spends on her hair is now the idiotic "news" of the day. Obvious sexism aside, I, for one, would like to know how much Biden spends on booze. This non news news will continue until the election.

    A year from now moderates - read as "Clinton voters" - will be much happier with President Obama than the Arugula Left that currently is frothing and foaming about the lightbringer. There is almost no way to tangibly predict what President Obama will do. His past and voting record and associations say we are going hard Left. Then again his economic and foreign policy advisers are all moderates or conservatives. The American military will be engaged in Iraq to a lesser degree. But many of those soldiers will be redeployed elsewhere. Iran will have to be dealt with whether Obama likes it or not. This will cause heartburn in the Huffington/Kos cheering section. Though the Andrew Sullivan types will justify and rationalize until their heads explode.

    Israel is another matter worth thinking about. Certainly Obama will be less pro Israel than his immediate predecessors. But we will defend her regardless. The American psyche won't allow anything else. If we don't deal with Iran, Israel will - and we will come down on Israel's side - to the frustration of the hard left who see the Palestinians as the only victims in the region. The most rabid anti-Zionists that alight on the Obama site are in for a rude awakening. Allowing Iran a nuclear weapon won't be tolerable to the American military. Obama will be called an "imperialist" soon enough. Biden telegraphed as much the other day.
    Biden pretty much admits that Obama's response will piss off the Democratic base. I'm thinking military action against Iran after a terror strike on U.S. soil. That's just a guess.

    Regardless, Obama won't allow himself to be seen as anything but muscular in dealing with trouble. The fantasy of "hope and change" won't hold up long for the Left.

    On the economic front taxes will go up nominally. Conservatives will squeal. But moderates will go along. In the end Obama is being dealt the worst hand imaginable economically. He won't be blamed for a while. After about 10 months it will absolutely be considered his problem and shortly thereafter his fault. For all the yelling about "socialism" there will be no money for drastic changes. Instead of targeted tax cuts we will get targeted tax hikes AND targeted tax cuts. The usual Democratic corruption will be in evidence, replacing the usual GOP corruption.

    The Supreme court will have some openings - but I would not look for Lawrence Tribe as the type that will be nominated. Look for solid moderates - like Hillary Clinton. Obama will not be expending capital forcing ideologues past the Senate and Fox news.

    When Biden says tough decisions will have to be made he is, in fact, referring to the Democratic base having to swallow hard.

    A moderate/left administration replacing the current right wing crew will surprise many. (I am not even sure how far left Obama will go. ) It will disappoint even more.

    I could be wrong - it may be that Obama will usher in a dark age of Maoist thought as so many fear. We will probably find out soon enough.

    Gay of the Day: John Amaechi. Vote no on prop 8!!!!

    Vote NO on Prop 8.
    While it may appear that I avoid discussing my personal life on this blog, this is not the case. Other than what are probably the best core (and mantle and crust) group of friends a person can imagine, and I barely deserve, I simply have no personal life - which makes it easy to avoid writing about it. I sleep with the illustrious Bob Barker at my feet - who, other than forcing me to commit flea genocide last week, is perfect because he is both unflappable and ridiculous, traits I find essential in a long term companion.
    I like strong women and routinely get crushes on them. I also like men who are a surprising mix of adjectives and routinely get crushes on them. (think traffic reporter, actor, transchannel, Or pot dealer, child star, dentist) Which brings me to - Today's Gay of the Day: John Amaechi. teddy bear, NBA center, British accent....what's not to like?
    Me gots big crush.

    Ya, this guy doesn't DESERVE equal rights because some nutty folks are terrorised their constructed false narrative of how humans are will be questioned or blown apart.

    Her site is here.
    Martina rocks. Who can argue that this woman should not have the same rights as a straight woman??? Remember if you are in California vote no on prop 8. Tell your family and friends to vote No.
    Always liked this lady. Except for the Williams sisters competing against each other women's tennis has no great rivalries now. But back in the Everett/Navratilova days...

    First clip is M.N. talking about her work as AARP fitness ambassador.
    Man, it pisses me off that certain types think a person like M.N. is a "second class" citizen. Evangelicals insult and degrade so many decent, hardworking, compassionate people and call it Godly.
    That "god" they worship is a false idol that must be fought.

    Second clip is a montage of M.N. with Tina Turner singing... a power combo, indeed.

    House rules

    Interesting little tid bit over at the HillaryClinotonforum - Is Frank Marshall Davis Obama's real father? I love this theory for "House" reasons. On Fox's medical drama House - House's team is presented a patient and evolving symptoms and then must find an illness that fits. It's a crime drama grafted onto a medical template with the disease acting as the criminal. Marshall as BHO's biological father is a great fit for all symptoms of the "birth certificate disease".

    Symptoms:

    *Obama has yet to release an actual birth certificate. This is very odd. The campaign and its concubines at Kos threw up an abstract and called it proof. It never was.
    *Even with a case pending in PA. Obama will not produce a real birth certificate. This should be a simple task. It would end the speculation, end the case and make a fool of the man who brought it. Why won't he? A real birth certificate may either not list a father or list Marshall. Either way, BHO's narrative - starting with "Dreams of My Father" - is blown apart.
    *Marshall, who was already a father and married may not have wanted a bastard. Obama senior wanted to stay in the U.S. so he marries Ann Dunham and "fathers" Obama junior. He disappears very quickly, though - heading to school on the east coast. Marshall, on the other hand, becomes Obama's Jr's "mentor" as a young man - after he returns to Hawaii - with the full support of his maternal grandparents.
    *Obama's has more in common with Marshall in style and substance than he does with Obama senior - a reckless drunk.
    *Finally - like it or not - it is a "happy" ending in my mind. He WAS born in the U.S. He is the child of an American, not an immigrant with no connection to the Black American experience. In fact, he springs FROM a civil rights leader. I, and many others, have had the "something isn't right about this guy" feeling for a long time. This theory fills in much of the gap for me.
    The "otherness" so many of us feel about Obama is both explained and in large part obliterated. And if THIS is the big lie I feel much better about Obama. "Everybody lies." is Dr. House's assumption on the show. True enough. Family lies that a person moves heaven and earth (including writing federal law and bestsellers) to conceal are more forgivable to me.
    In my mind, it also justifies so much of the Obama mania - unconscious as it is - father loss, and all that goes with it is, is one of the most consistent "Western" archetypes. See Hamlet and or The Lion King for proof. People lock into archetypes as they are played out - whether they know it or not.
    Unless Obama agrees to a DNA test we may never know. Pic in order: Obama, Jr., Obama Sr., Frank Marshall Davis.

    What is Biden talking about?

    What the hell is Joe Biden talking about?

    "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama..."

    From Cannonfire: I don't think I've ever heard such a bizarre prediction from a Vice Presidential candidate. This statement does not strike me as blue-sky conjecture. Something is up. Something specific. Something that will harm or destroy the popularity of a new Obama presidency.

    How does this statement not argue for John McCain being elected? If the "world" is going to throw something at us - why not have the guy who has already been tested in office?

    A side note: Palin said to a CNN interviewer that "If I had said that you would have clobbered me."

    The CNN reporter said "You're right."

    Wow an honest reporter at CNN. He said, in essence, "Yes, we are biased" - and then he smiled and moved on.

    Finally - why the HELLL is a major candidate suspending his campaign two weeks out to go to Hawaii to see his Grandmother? He's not. Granny is a front. Something is up with the lawsuit in Hawaii regarding his birth records.

    Falling in love again, gay of the day, No on Prop 8

    The reason I am doing the Gay of the Day is to make the simple point that Gay folks are an essential part of our lives and always have been. Not allowing them to legally codify their relationships just like straight couples is bigotry.

    Actually, given the appalling record of failure, violence and child abuse among heterosexual couples - the best solution might be to ban all marriage for 30 years and see what happens.
    If you live in California vote no on prop 8.

    The Gay of the Day!!! Actually Bisexual of the day...Marlene Dietrich.

    The U.S. Government awarded Marlene Dietrich the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her war work. Dietrich has been quoted as saying this was the honor of which she was most proud in her life. She was also made a chevalier (later commandeur) of the Legion d'honneur by the French government.

    Scandal train a coming.

    Okay the blogger in me must confess (again) that the prospect of an Obama victory doesn't bother me all that much anymore. My primary anger has always been directed toward the lack of accountability from the faux liberal media and faux white liberals.
    There is nothing "post racial" about Obama or this campaign. In fact, race has been weaponized in a Helms/Wallace fashion - the difference being the Left has the Uzi now. There is nothing "post racial" about electing a guy with Obama's resume simply because the country needs a guilt purge. As I've said before - it isn't even real guilt. I don't speak for all but I know I speak for many when I say moderate and liberal whites are sick of the topic. They feel very little actual guilt about past or current sins. The worm turned with the O.J. verdict. On some level many white voters will look at an Obama victory as a way to say "Okay, we did it. Can we stop taking about it now?" Of course, no one will actually say that. But it will be the internal fall back the next time Jackson or Sharpton make hay about some self generated "social justice" issue. It's like the husband giving the wife an over the top bouquet for a transgression he really doesn't see an issue with - just to end the argument. White liberals feel an obligation to vote for Obama but not much else. The most committed PODs will take a while longer to decompress - but those voters - even the dead ones - can't win him the election. He needs the moderate and liberal whites and many of them NEED to vote for him -but not much else.

    I must say I rather look forward to the first time the "race card" is played in the potential Obama years. The media has been unwilling to call bullshit on the Obama campaign on this or anything - the need to see him elected is so strong. But once - if - he wins that job is done. If it is all Obama all the time they will have to find a story. And happy tales of Obama's "style" and intelligence won't keep the masses watching. This media survival mechanism combined with the Right's belief that being out of power is an unnatural state will bring on the parade of scandals now being down played. (Look for the NYT to lead the way in the attack on Obama.)Rezko alone could end the party very quickly. Fitzgerald didn't agree to put off sentencing to swap recipes with Tony. He is getting something. Reps have to be elected every two years after all and Chicago corruption doesn't sit well in North Carolina. Or anywhere else outside Chicago.

    A race card backlash is not the reason I've become sublime about Obama possibly winning. That is the sad but inevitable outcome of Obama's degradation of the real issue all year. Real racism will not be taken nearly as seriously for a very long time.

    I want Obama vetted. Without excuses. I see no way this will happen in the next 2 weeks. But the job will expose him. Ask Deval Patrick who ran the campaign Obama is now running. His approval is at 38%. The numbers that have caved the most are within his core support group. "Hope and change" lasted about 6 months.

    Is the country at risk? Am I saying that I want to see Obama in office regardless of the consequences just so he'll finally get vetted? No. The country will survive one BHO term. If it lasts that long. (I mean here a scandal forcing him out and nothing else.) In fact, we might actually sober up a bit.

    Powell endorsed Obama because he's black.

    I was going to skip writing about the major Obama absurdity of the day but No Quarter dove in and lord knows, I don't want to be left out of the fun entirely. Besides, I am hoping a Pod wanders by (like a bacteria pool in the Ganges)to call me unstable and/or racist.

    Let's get to the point. Colin Powell endorsed Obama because he's black. You know it. I know it. Everyone on earth knows it. Like Oprah, who ditched her audience to skip over Clinton for Obama, Powell let race trump judgement.

    So on to why Powell is now closer to Ted Baxter than George Washington. His judgement is suspect - to put it mildly. No Quarter rips his "endorsement" to shreds here. I have nothing to add. Except to say that the similarities between Powell's water carrying for Cheney and his Obama blow job today are obvious and mildly interesting. But it boils down to race. End of story.

    Powell is responsible for the most ridiculous speech ever given at the U.N. No small feat considering Hugo Chavez's idiocies and Khrushchev's shoe slamming antics. He damned himself once and for all and forever the day he agreed to sign off on the murder of thousands of Iraqis. See THIS blogger is actually consistent on basic values. Those who knew Powell was either lying or a fool at the U.N. all those years ago have now decided he is a man of grand and perfect judgement. Daily Kos and little miss Huffington have no scruples. If it works for DEAR LEADER then it is a -okay. Markos, the mad Greek lady, Avarosis and the rest HAVE NO MORAL CENTER. Obama makes people lose their rationality. If I was a doctor I would call it a disorder. Since I'm not, but I do tivo every episode of HOUSE, I will go ahead and call it A DISORDER. There are very few other rational explanations, other than mass hypnosis.

    No one - now that no one includes Colin Powell - can MAKE THE CASE for Obama based on experience or accomplishment. Obama wins the pathetic general's endorsement on "style" and a series assumptions conjured out of thin air and MSNBC propaganda. Oh - and the pesky race thing - that no one opposed to Obama is allowed to talk about.

    Screw it. I just did. Powell endorsed Obama because Obama is...uh...say it with me, all together now: BLACK.

    fundamentals.

    As is often the case Cannonfire writes what I humbly admit I don't have the skill to - try as I might. Check out his latest on Obama here.
    Do not presume, as so many do, that Obama's all-things-to-all-people pose means that he lacks any fundamental beliefs. His reaction to the financial crisis proves his inflexibility. He has staunchly nixed the idea of direct aid to homeowners facing foreclosure, and he maintained that grim attitude even after McCain fell in line behind Hillary's "revived HOLC" proposal.

    The phenomenon is the tool.

    Anyone remember the good old days when kids all conformed by being anti-conformist? Early this year a young man I know and like told me supporting Hillary made me a "tool". He, of course, was supporting Obama. I told him that supporting a woman was much more radical than supporting a Chicago machine politician with no accomplishments to his name who happened to be "not white." Ah to no avail. I was a tool. He was the future.
    Given that 9 months later I have yet to hear a single soul give intelligent reasons for supporting Obama - there are some good reasons, they just aren't very smart - and given that 9 months later the "Obama is change" meme has hit a critical mass - one has to wonder at what point will the kids wake up and realize they are the tools? The tools of George Soros, and ACORN, and Big Media, and the dime store socialists, and Wall Street bankers in need of some socialism. That all those kids with there andy warholized Obama/Che Guevara posters have been, are being, and will be used until they are no longer useful. Then thrown, with out mercy or a single thought, into the deep and endless river of power and corruption.

    All I see around LA lately are cars with that sickening Warhol Obama that says "hope." Near Paramount today I saw Obama rendered as superman on a poster plastered on a bus stop.
    The eyes had been scratched out - which did give me hope. Some kids just won't play along.

    Confession time: a part of me wants Obama to win because victory is the only thing that will expose Obama finally and completely. Time has done it already if you look hard. But the "press" won't tell any truth - until they must. But first, all those white liberals need to get a black man elected to assuage their faux guilt and have a season in smugville. And it is faux guilt. Press any reasonably intelligent white liberal hard enough and they will reveal that they have little or no guilt for the state of Black America. And certainly take no responsibility for it. The game is blame. Most of the time, if truth be told, the blame is unconsciously directed at their own conservative parents.

    The worm will turn. It may have already as now Gallup and Zogby confirm that the race is back to being a dead heat. It may not be enough to see Obama lose. But the queasiness many are feeling about THE ONE will translate into a numb frustration, then anger, soon enough.

    As for the kids - and I include the middle aged fools on the bandwagon - for them the novelty of a Black President won't last more than a few months. Policy has to be made. Nothing kills a buzz quite like policy. All those lobbyists and entrenched power brokers in D.C. do not care about "hope" and "change" if it doesn't benefit them. And they really don't care about kids with Obama t-shirts.

    The phenomenon is the tool. When the tool is not necessary it will be tossed.

    Very Creepy. Give a listen

    The lies about Ayres.

    Cannonfire has a whopper of a post dissecting the lies Obama has told about Ayres. Good read here.

    in your face

    Much is said about the effort the Obama campaign puts into camouflage. Dismissing obvious deep ties to crooks and radicals. Throwing inconvenient truths and people under the bus. Having entire cable news networks spinning propaganda at the speed of light. All interesting. All evidence that we are being mislead. And, God knows, there is reason to mislead the public about Obama.

    The guy stinks.

    But I also wonder about that which Obama makes no effort to hide. There are moments through out this year when there is no logic to the affront. The idiocy. It is audacious. In your face. The Greek Parthenon set is a good example - in a football stadium no less. Either his ego is that fragile or we were being told something. Or there is the weirdness of an American presidential candidate skipping a visit to wounded troops. That is what is was: weird. There was no logical reason for it. He could have done it in private. The press would have fawned from outside the room. So what? How about the laughable Presidential seal. What was the thinking in THAT meeting? Then there is the hands clasped when one should have been over his heart like everyone else. Tiny, it would seem. But...
    I read at Noquarter that the Obama campaign cancelled the singing of the national anthem at a rally in New Hampshire - to make more time for speakers. Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Having been to six bajillion baseball games I can say that the national anthem is, in fact, quite short. Now what is the logic here? Would it not have made better P.R. sense to gently tell the first speaker - no doubt a village alderman or state senator - that his speech would have to be 4 minutes and not 5. Or for the rally to go on for one more minute.

    It is almost as if they are saying, "It's not your country anymore. We are taking it. We will appropriate or ignore all the symbols YOU connect to NATION."

    See, even if it was just a low level worker who cancelled the anthem - it says something that no one stepped in. This is a campaign culture in which the national anthem doesn't matter. I am not judging this so much as observing it. Why would this tightly controlled campaign make these decisions?

    Pod mobs

    Obama pods are amazing. Another report today of POD violence. A female McCain volunteer was assaulted by a passing Pod. The scariest aspect of these people is not that they attack - this goes with the territory when a deranged personality cult driven mob as been nurtured and grown . (One has to wonder when McCain partisans will hit back, though.) The physical and cyber attacks are to be expected.
    What IS scary is the utter lack of knowledge the pods actually have about Obama. I have yet to hear an Obama supporter that can factually articulate reasons for their support. They support an idea, a concept, a hologram - that has almost nothing to do with the actual person called Barack Hussein Obama. Given facts about Obama they respond with screaming or blank looks. Mobs that follow blindly are the most dangerous. If Obama wins and has a Democratic majority (both very likely) these cultist Pod attacks will continue unchecked.

    I am reprinting a reader comment below. Many, many of us recognize this scenario. The pod being questioned has no - absolutely NO - connection to reality. One has to wonder what these people are going to do when/if the real Obama starts to govern. What will they do when they realize they have been duped? I doubt they will come clean. My guess is they will become more strident and hysterical. And this hysteria will be funneled into a "civilian corps" - and aided and abetted by Kos and Hufffington and MSNBC and the always cowardly CNN.

    Here is the reader post:

    I had the pleasure of sitting among some of SF's political (and of course self described progressive) elite recently, lawyers, judges and politicos, and all Obama koolaid drinkers. One person in particular became the focus of my attention after proudly exclaimed she is heading the local Obama office in her precinct. She started rattling off all his glories of how educated he is, what a great speaker he is, how historic his becoming president would be, and then I asked THE question... what are his major accomplishments that you know of that would indicate he would be a great president.

    The look I got on the woman's face, was first one of gasping amazement, like how could I even dare ask such a question, so I asked it again. Then the next look I got next reminded me of a scene from Fargo, when Brainard Police Chief Marge Gunderson was at the auto dealership questioning Jerry Lundegaard. The facial expressions and contortions with the stunned silence that William H. Macy gave to that character were recreated by this woman.

    After a few minutes of these contortions she said we just have have to elect him and that she is very scared he will lose, plus the obligatory move out of the country if he does lose assertion. At that point I reassured her, Obama can't lose because he and Acorn are running the biggest voter fraud operation ever seen in this country to steal an election, Chicago politics gone national, because if we do ever start questioning his qualifications, he loses big time. At this point the contortions became even more exaggerated and she actually started crying.

    Only God knows what was happening in her head at that moment. Were the synapses starting to connect again and she realized she really had no rational reason to vote for Obama? Was she unprepared for anything less than a fawning tribute in praise of her messiah? Also interesting, no one within earshot of us was able to come to her defense, other than an exhortation that you must vote for Obama as in there is no other choice.

    Lunch Break - Creepy Obama Associate of the day and some Shakespeare.

    Creepy Obama Associate of the Day: William Ayres, the bratty radical. Why Ayres now? Because I truly loath him and everything he represents. A rich asshole from Chicago who decides that killing and maiming is just fine if it promotes his asinine ideas. Then he runs and after being caught he gets off on a technicality. Does anyone believe if William Ayres ever had to actually work for a living he would be such a smug asshole? Does anyone believe that if William Ayres was poor and black and bombed the Pentagon he would have gotten off on a technicality?
    Obama has been connected to this prick, BY CHOICE, for over a decade.
    One unsettled question is how Mr. Obama, a former community organizer fresh out of law school, could vault to the top of a new foundation?

    I like this guy.

    Holy cow. First the Gallup poll showing a dead heat and now this stunner - McCain is hilarious.

    Gallup shocker

    Well well. Gallup tracking today - BHO 49% McCain 47% - this is before the debate. My my my...
    Can't bring myself to link to Drudge - but it's there. Somehow I doubt Olbermann will lead with this story.

    If McCain pulls this off he had better thank Joe the Plumber.

    Lunch Break - The Left's Big blunder

    No clip today...just want to focus on an article posted in the last thread. It is fascinating. I know so many of us have been in uncomfortable situations what with the blanketing and suffocating pro Obama atmosphere. This piece looks at the phenomenon. I know that when stating a simple "I don't like Obama" I've been received with baffled looks and that "well, I guess John must have a problem with race" look.

    The damage inflicted by the Obama Left on race relations in this country is incalculable. The seething resentment among Black Americans for real or perceived racism -is being transferred to a seething resentment among white non Obama supporters for being CALLED racist - overtly or covertly and almost always unjustly.

    In such an environment, where admitting to disliking Obama in the interpersonal sphere has become the equivalent of social suicide, it seems very likely that the Bradley Effect is not just back, but back with a vengeance. The more that Obama supporters go unchallenged in their blanket accusations of racism against McCain supporters, the less likely anyone will publicly admit to dislike of Obama. Hence, the Bradley Effect is not an artifact of racism, but rather an artifact of false accusations of racism.

    Michelle goes nutters?

    If you have not heard Michelle O. is reported to have gone on a verbal bender to the African Press International. Among the gems: When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya's Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi's arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.

    In case you don't know: Senator Obama campaigned in Kenya for Odinga in 2006 during his run for the Presidency. He lost. He then sent out thugs who killed thousands of mainly Christian Kenyans. In this manner he forced his way into the job of Prime Minster. Let's note here that Obama pods have made threats of impending violence if Obama loses.

    Deadenders contacted API and they say they have the tape of the conversation. If a tape exists API needs to release it now. We do know that Dr. Corsi, a harsh critic of Obama, was arrested while in Kenya. If there is no tape this story is conjecture. But very odd conjecture. If there is a tape then Michelle O. needs to explain why a man's arrest might be okay if it was "digging by evil people".

    Remember crazy as Larry Sinclair may be he was arrested while making what everyone thought were absurd allegations against Obama. It is not a pattern yet... but....

    Lunch Break - Gay of the Day, Creepy Obama associate of the day, Kate meets Petruchio

    Gay of the day - Lily Tomlin. A true genius.
    In an era when most of our out-front lesbian role models are relationship-hopping, and relationships, whether straight or gay, that last a lifetime seem to be increasingly few and far between, Tomlin and Wagner's thirty four years together are not only commendable, they are an inspiration.

    His minions. The large number of fiends (usually young) who have no moral center, no idea who Obama is, and could care less -but are still acting like a crazed mob on his "behalf" Why do I loath you pod people so - because the picture below is expressing a sentiment that is routine among the Pods. Not exceptional.
    No-one (thank God) would dare to wear a shirt emblazoned with the message "BARACK OBAMA IS A NIGGER." Yet these kids think cunt is funny. cute...Anyone who read comments on Kos during the primaries knows that hating strong women is a prime force behind the Obama craze. Bro's before Ho's. Calling for Hillary's death or calling her a cunt were daily occurrences on Kos. I would like to take that girl by her ear and have every feminist in the last 100 years line up and slap her across the face.

    Finally a little taste of Shakespeare for today... not a speech...more of a recommendation: The American Conservatory Theaters 1976 production of The Taming of the Shrew is a masterpiece. It is available on Amazon.

    4 ads

    Check out the 4 ads below. How long before a pod screams RACIST!??? I'm betting it's already happened.




    Do you have any spare change?

    Barring a massive, irrefutable, revelation about Obama that can not be ignored I don't see much that can swing the election to McCain. The "maverick's" campaign has been hesitant and disjointed. McCain's strategy seems to be "in the end they won't take the risk". Wrong. When people are angry and scared they will take a risk on a largely unknown commodity. I still believe my theory about how to run Presidential campaigns. Recap: run "negative" in August and September to soften up perceptions of your opponent - and finish "positive" with a vision of how to lead. McCain was "negative" in the summer and early fall and the polls reflected queasiness about Obama. Even so his ads where mocking more than hard hitting. As October settles in McCain has yet to push his overarching vision in a consistent manner. He is now stuck with either accepting the loss, or ferreting out a damning revelation. He has shown no willingness to kneecap Obama even if has information.

    Early on, McCain was not negative enough. His ads have been interesting and sometimes funny - but hardly devastating. None of them have forced a change in the equation of the election: It belongs to the Democrats unless overwhelming reasons arise to change the dynamic. There are plenty of reasons. None of them have been aired consistently. A glancing blow regarding Rezko, another regarding Ayres. Sure Obama may make some queasy but not enough to keep the GOP in power. The "negative" attack needed to be overwhelming and sustained. And like Clinton before him he needed to factor in the media as being the enemy. Clinton never learned that the MSM was embedded in the Obama camp. She expected a level of investigation from "journalists" that never materialized. It still hasn't. McCain needed to make the Obama attacks so sharp they could not be shrugged off. McCain needed to set the agenda.

    As for the power of 527s - they don't work if they don't show up. For whatever reason conservatives have never liked McCain. The power behind the 527s has been limp in its response to Obama. The conservative agenda - and unlike most liberals they actually have one - is better served by an Obama win. Harsh but true. The very best way to refurbish the conservative brand is 2 years of an unchecked Democratic majority. Obama will roto rooter Bush out of the GOP system.

    I said a while ago that an "outside" event would decide this election. The financial crisis seems to have been that event. Admittedly I was thinking along much more dramatic lines. And the market going loco was hardly unforeseen to anyone who'd been following the storyline. Still, the depth of the chaos was news to many voters, priming the pump for "change". Any change.

    Lunch break - Gay of the day, Creepy Obama associate of the day, Henry V - Band of Brothers

    And in support of gay marriage rights here is my Gay Hero of the Day: Alexander. I am posting the "band of brothers" speech from Henry 5 below - Guess I'm in a conquering warrior mood today...
    Alexander was only defeated once, the Cynic philosophers said long after his death, and that was by Hephaestion's thighs.

    Creepy Obama Associate of the day: Oh, lordy, their are so MANY to chose from. I am falling back on Rezko -Obama helped him get government money for low income housing development - then he turned off the heat in mid winter and froze poor people - nice - there's a liberal for ya... As A State Senator, Barack Obama Wrote Letters To City And State Officials Supporting His Political Patron Tony Rezko's Successful Bid To Get More Than $14 Million From Taxpayers To Build Apartments For Senior Citizens." - except he froze the elderly in their slums....nice man...Good press release on what he may be singing to feds linked here. Rezko also helped Barry and Michelle to a new mansion. Presumably the heat is still on in the Obama home.

    SHAKESPEARE SPEECH OF THE DAY

    My God, I love this speech. From Henry 5. The king is rousing his small army to fight the overwhelming forces of France.



    What's he that wishes so?
    My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
    If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
    To do our country loss; and if to live,
    The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
    God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
    By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
    Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
    It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
    Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
    But if it be a sin to covet honour,
    I am the most offending soul alive.
    No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
    God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
    As one man more methinks would share from me
    For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
    Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
    That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
    Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
    And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
    We would not die in that man's company
    That fears his fellowship to die with us.
    This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
    Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
    And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
    Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
    And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
    Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
    But he'll remember, with advantages,
    What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
    Familiar in his mouth as household words-
    Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
    Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
    Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
    This story shall the good man teach his son;
    And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
    From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be remembered-
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition;
    And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
    Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    Salivating for Obama

    I keep asking why the media is so intent on covering for Obama. Obviously it is not for lack of information. Negative information about BHO is everywhere. Footage of BHO campaigning for Odinga played as much as the Clinton Bosnia footage makes sense. It brings to the fore real questions of judgement. Much more so than Clinton's Bosnia comment. A realistic investigation and timeline of the Obama/Ayres relationships would also seem in order. Neither of these examples need be unfair. Just truthful. It would not take much for the main stream press to look into these items. And yet, only individuals and to a degree Fox has done any homework on Obama.

    The evidence that the MSM has now completely lurched into a propaganda machine is proven by 3 cases. John Edwards known affair was kept quiet until the primaries were over. This bizarre omission is telling. What was the purpose? The media loves an affair. (One could argue that the Clinton/Monica "crisis" was overblown to keep him in check.)
    Secondly, Obama has lied repeatedly on the stump...Selma, and Ayres comes to mind. Yet, Clinton's "Bosnia" moment was beaten into the ground. Obama's lies? Not covered.
    Scores of reporters where sent to Alaska after Palin was chosen - almost none have been sent to Chicago. Why?

    The media is molding our perceptions of Obama - but to what end? Is it simply a blind spot? I doubt it.

    Is it true adulation of the man? Some clearly is.

    The best answer I can come up with is that the media wants a President it can control and then destroy. Crazy conspiracy theory? Maybe. But the bias is overwhelming. Anyone not a Obamabot can see this. If someone has a better idea I'd like to hear it.

    The installation of Obama is moving along. The media malfeasance is making this process much easier for him. I don't fear creeping socialism much. It's been creeping along in the U.S. for a long while. Nor do I fear Obama being a corrupt Wall Street stooge. If this is the case we'll just have more of the same. What I do fear is a man with so many secrets having to serve many masters. Who will be in charge? Soros? Ayres? MSNBC? The Prime Minster of Kenya?

    CONTROL is the only logical reason that I can see for the MSM to be continuing its glowing coverage of Obama. Even if just the ACORN story breaks wide after Obama's election - he is delegitimized. A pardon of Rezko has the same effect. It appears Seymour Hersh was a confirmation source for the "Whitey tape" at the very least being known to exist. Hersh is not exactly a right wing kook. yet - no MSM outlet has looked into it. That tape - shown on 1/21/09 would enrage the electorate and hobble a President Obama.

    So why is the media salivating for an Obama Administration?
