The WORM Turns on Obama

It began this morning when I received a link to this New Republic story, “End of the Affair.” There’s so much in this article, but take note of this paragraph. What does he have to hide?

Reporters who have covered Obama’s biography or his problems with certain voter blocs have been challenged the most aggressively. “They’re terrified of people poking around Obama’s life,” one reporter says. “The whole Obama narrative is built around this narrative that Obama and David Axelrod built, and, like all stories, it’s not entirely true. So they have to be protective of the crown jewels.” Another reporter notes that, during the last year, Obama’s old friends and Harvard classmates were requested not to talk to the press without permission.

It’s clear that Obama’s Orwellian campaign is airbrushing the fairy tale for popular consumption. Thing is, most voters see through “tall tales.”

Then I popped over to Memeorandum.com, and saw this monster list of stories:

Check out all of these stories and blog reports via Memeorandum.com.

Here’s more from The New Republic story:

Much of this is certainly the run-of-the-mill complaining of campaign reporters who can’t get enough access. Still, the campaign hasn’t helped itself, approaching reporters with a sense of entitlement. “They’re an arrogant operation. Young and arrogant,” one reporter covering the campaign says. “They don’t believe in transparency with their own campaign,” another says.

[...]

As tensions escalate, the risk to Obama, of course, is that reporters will be emboldened to challenge his campaign ever more aggressively. At the same time, McCain has demonstrated a longstanding ability to deftly manage the press. After all, it wasn’t long ago that McCain, short on cash and trailing in the Republican primaries, re-launched his campaign in New Hampshire by courting the press, “my base,” as he once proudly put it. In June, the McCain camp unveiled its redesigned campaign plane, a Boeing 737 that recreates the Straight Talk Express bus, so reporters can assemble with McCain and shoot the breeze.

Now, Obama may be handing McCain a shot at winning back his “base.” Of course, making ads that paint the media as Obama’s stooges may not be the best way to accomplish that. But the press wants to put its love somewhere, and, right now, that love is up for grabs.

Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet has been complaining vociferously about the media’s lack of access to Obama. She has described the wall surrounding Obama.

It is clear that the SOLE portrayal of candidate Obama that his campaign wishes us to see is when he is in front of a teleprompter.

Mine Eyes Have Seen… (a poem)
Russ Vaughn

(With apologies to Julia Ward Howe and her revered Battle Hymn of the Republic)

Mine eyes have seen the stories from Obama’s media horde;

They are trampling out what sanity their liberal brains once stored.

How he’s using them is frightening, he’s become their liberal lord,

But the dupes keep marching on.

You’ll be sorry how he’s used ya; you’ll be sorry how he’s used ya,

You’ll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on.

Mine eyes have seen the talking heads kneeling to lick his shoes;

They regurgitate his talking points and tell us that it’s news.

We’ll all be struck by lightening ‘fore we hear opposing views,

But those dupes keep marching on.

You’ll be sorry how he’s used ya; you’ll be sorry how he’s used ya,

You’ll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on.

Mine eyes have seen Chris Mathews as he rubs his leg and grins,

And drools just like a panting pup a’humping Obama’s shins,

And like all puppies everywhere forgives all Master’s sins;

That stupe keeps marching on.

You’ll be sorry how he’s used ya; you’ll be sorry how he’s used ya,

Chris you’ll be sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on.

Mine eyes have seen the New York Times as it descends to naught;

The liberal pup who inherited it all has driven it to aught.

This murderer of the Old Gray Dame’s a spoiled and stupid snot;

But this dupe keeps marching on.

You’ll be sorry how he’s used ya; you’ll be sorry how he’s used ya,

You’ll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on.

Mine eyes have seen these cattle as they kneel and meekly moo;

They’re hooves are trampling out our votes uncaring what they do.

Where once there was some honesty there’s now no news that’s true;

But these dupes keep marching on.

You’ll be sorry how he’s used ya; you’ll be sorry how he’s used ya,

You’ll be so sorry when he screws ya, but you dupes keep marching on.

just responded to your poll as a “stuck at home”-as i can’t travel.
what about an option for attending a local protest?
that i would certainly be able to do!

cat … post at blog.pumapac.org for a local group to attend PUMA-related activities in your community.

Thanks Cat in NJ, for the link

Olivier Sarkozy, his half-brother, was chosen by the Carlyle Group, in March 2008, as co-head and managing director of its recently launched global financial services division.

Maybe Obama can invite Olivier to his Senate Banking Committee for a photo op sometime before the election.

I thought Sarkozy was a buddy of Bush’s also. Perhaps I am mistaken.

Comment by Mandelay | 2008-07-25 17:39:25

Sarkozy’s agenda is to lead Europe, and have an American President he can wrap around a pole.

 
 

Comment by terri | 2008-07-25 18:20:17

Sarkozy said he didn’t think Hillary Clinton had a chance to win. Well, he’s really in touch with American politics, isn’t he? Of course this is a man who dumped his wife of over 20 years and 4 children to marry a model the age of his daughters. I’m sure he has wonderful judgement.

Here are a few more lines from Russ….

Posted by: Bob L.O.C.C. | July 25, 2008 09:17 AM
Russ,
Thanks for the stimulation. Here’s my contribution:
The fawning press they march along Obamatons them all,
They hide his gaffes and goofs so they can keep him standin’ tall,
The Boston Globe and CNN just two who man the wall,
The dupes keep marchin’ on.
They’ll be sorry how he used them… They’ll be sorry how he’s used em;
They’ll be so sorry when he screws em, but you dupes keep marching on.

ABC and NBC with NPR march on,
They slobber and they salivate and push along the con,
They wipe away His foibles with their magic writing wan,
The hacks keep marchin’ on.
They’ll be sorry how he duped them… They’ll be sorry how he’s used ya;
They’ll be so sorry when he screws em, but you dupes keep marching on.

The LATimes and Wapo are among the sycophants,
They put their nose in places where Obama wears his pants,
They squirm and squeal and oh and ah like dogs among the ants,
The dweebs keep marchin’ on.
They’ll awake to how he fooled them… They’ll be sorry how he’s used em;
They’ll be so sorry when he screws em, but you dupes keep marching on.

Will Media Report Concert Before Obama’s Berlin Speech?

By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive)
July 24, 2008 – 13:38 ET


Remember back in May when media gushed and fawned over a huge crowd in Portland, Oregon — supposedly gathered to hear the words of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama — but chose not to report the free concert given before his speech?
Well, it has been learned that before the presumptive Democrat nominee spoke to a crowd in Berlin Thursday, two popular German acts — reggae artist Patrice and rock band Reamonn — entertained the gathering audience.
Will media report this tonight, or just gush and fawn over the huge crowd again?
While you ponder, here’s what was reported by Spiegel Online moments ago (h/t Hot Air and Gateway):
++ Pop Concert for Obama Fans ++
6:33 p.m.: The tens of thousands of Obama fans are being entertained as they await the senator. The reggae musician Patrice kicked things off, followed by the rock band Reamonn.
I’m sure this will be part of ALL media reports concerning this speech…not

So when Coldplay preforms in front of 80k it’s because people really came to see Shock Circus, Screaming Lips, and Medikal warm up for them.

Really? This is what you think?

The Decemberists?

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 13:44:45

You pay to see Coldplay. Obama’s concert was free w/free food. Of course they’d turn out. Bill Clinton didn’t need free bands to pack his rallies…I should know, I went to them. And you little goock, were still watching Barney at the time.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-07-25 19:27:24

If Obama were doing so well, that fat little pimpled punk with the racist screen name wouldn’t be here. His very presence speaks VOLUMES.

Look at his trollish presence as a SIGN…that Obama is frightened, his staff is worried, and they’re sic’ing the fat, slothful typing children on us. When you have no message, disrupt! When you have no vision, demoralize! When you have no fucking clue, send out little jerks to make asses of themselves!

They don’t get that we’ve LIVED. We’ve seen GENUINE ups and downs in our lives…we know how to take the heat. Some little pissant getting snarky isn’t going to dicombobulate or derail us.

He should learn that if we wanted to hear from an ass (one who probably still watches Barney and sucks his thumb when stressed), we’d fart, eh?

Comment by John | 2008-07-25 14:31:50

Did you listen to the guy filling in for Bill O’Reilly today? He totally dismissed a caller who tried to explain that there were two bands at the Obama speech to draw people in- the host said “Oh come on, like a hundred thousand people JUST HAPPENED to go to a concert and oh, we might as well listen to this black guy from America and applaud hi speech too…” What a total tool. No, not everyone was at the speech because of the rock bands. But if you are going to give a speech, give out free food, and have two rock bands, there is something very disingenuous in claiming “Obama’s speech drew a hundred thousand.”

This is obvious to anyone with a brain. Apparently, the guy filling in for O’Reilly didn’t qualify. His caller did, however.

Comment by Zeke | 2008-07-25 14:52:13

When 200,000 people applaud and cheer, you couldn’t hear yourself screaming much less some moron up a stage. Barry could have whispered that speech, it was so quiet.
Jeeze, think back when you’re at a football game or big concert and everyone let go and cheered.
Did you hear anything close to that at Barry’s little speech?
No. Coulda heard a pin drop.
German kids went for free music and free food and to watch the funny American mumble.

The country has real problems right now.
The debt is spiraling out of control, we have energy prices that may cripple the economy, and
we have to stabilize Iraq. Also, we need to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
To much suprise, it is the Republican John McCain that is talking about the issues that will affect us the most. It is Obama that yet has to discuss policy. The people are listening and they want solutions this time around. They do not want the flashy/fast talking candidate. They want the doer, the one who will get things done. That is why Hillary did so well with the working class voters.
It is why McCain will do well to. It is why Obama is certain to fail.

Comment by katmandu | 2008-07-25 13:38:39

I have excerpted a piece written by Toby Harnden, who is US Editor of The Daily Telegraph of London. It confirms what Susan said.

Despite the justifiable accusations that much of the media has a crush on Obama, members of his traveling press corps – the people who are central to shaping the day-to-day coverage and can easily turn on a candidate – don’t quite see it that way.

On the O-Force One campaign plane (newly fitted out complete with a chair embroidered with “Obama ‘08/President” for the man Republicans like to mock as “the One”) there has been friction over what some journalists view as growing arrogance in Obamaland.

When Jim Steinberg, Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser, told reporters that during four years in the White House he had never had to go on the record for a briefing there was a chorus of retorts that Obama wasn’t in the White House.

The same day, during a testy exchange in which Team Obama persisted with the preposterous contention that the Berlin speech was not a campaign event, Susan Rice, another Obama foreign policy aide, was also accused of hubris.

“It is not going to be a political speech,’ she said. “When the President of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.” A reporter reminded her: “But he is not President of the United States.”

The images of Obama’s Berlin speech were grand and the address itself, though far from one of his best and almost devoid of policy substance, would have been a pretty decent one had it been delivered after he had won the White House.

But he is not President of the United States. The sham humility of announcing that “I speak to you not as a candidate for President but as a citizen” came across as simply disingenuous. Saying that “I know that I don’t look like the Americans who’ve previously spoken here” seemed like a craven attempt to invoke comparisons with John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

Appealing to the notion of “global citizenship” and the planet’s population to “come together to save the world” might not play that well in Peoria. It’s difficult to disagree with the notion that “my country has not perfected itself” but to say it in Europe – to cheers – is a different issue.

Those concerned that Obama might be elitist or lacking in patriotism will not have been reassured by his modified stump speech riff: “People of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment, this is our time.”

Obama’s whole trip has apparently been aimed at American voters. No foreign reporters were granted places on his O-Force One and the only interviews he’s deigned to give so far have been to the American big shots. There’s a gnashing of teeth at the BBC that the two interviews he’s scheduled in London are with Tom Brokaw of NBC (even though Obama will be back in Chicago by the time “Meet the Press” airs) and Bill Hemmer of Fox.

If the US electorate was the target of his Berlin speech, however, he was wide of the mark.[snip]

He may be the narrow front runner for the White House but there’s still an election and the sense of irrational exuberance enveloping his campaign is dangerous.

Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. Americans admire self-confidence up to a point, but fueling the notion that he’s a presumptuous nominee is a good way to lose in November.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/07/the_presumptive_and_presumptuo.html

As I’ve written before, Obama may have a narcissism personality disorder.

Comment by hank48188 | 2008-07-25 13:49:26

SO. Who said the following? Hitler or Bono. You’d be surprised how similar they sound.

“I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.”

“Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.”

“I will admit that we are attracted to issues that unify people rather than divide them.”

“The Catholic Church has spilt more blood than any other religion.”

“Revolution starts at home, in your heart, in your refusal to compromise your beliefs and your values.”

Tough, isn’t it? Now you see the massive appeal of Barack Obama and other cult leaders.

Comment by gmanedit | 2008-07-25 18:51:52

Yes, I completely agree. I really do think he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I can’t believe people can’t see that. His behavior just completely goes against how many years of tradition in presidential campaigning. His actions are so audacious that it’s really hard to look at him and think these actions could be coming from a completely mentally well-adjusted person.

Think it depends on which “suit” he wears that day. There’s so many smaller points, though, that they just have to wait in line ’till we get around to them.

I believe voters will (and already are) seeing through the bs that is BO. I think he’s making a fool of himself on his BIG WORLD TOUR. His astounding arrogance in acting as though he is already the President is stunning and embarrassing.

His choice.

And a bad one.

Comment by Indy | 2008-07-25 13:30:01

It’s definitely a plus, because that “bitter” middle will not vote for this fraud. I still can’t believe the DNC chose this loser instead of Hillary-unbelievable.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-07-25 13:33:38

We middle folks are swing voters, for sure. I am not in the crowd here, who wants to overturn the SDs and get in Hillary. To me? That’s crazy.

I’m not in the Obamanut crowd.

I’m not in the McCain crowd, who thinks that he’s Muslim, anti-christ, and radical.

I still say my group is the lost sheep. We can’t find a group where we can cuddle up.

I suspect we’re just too normal.

Comment by Indy | 2008-07-25 13:41:21

I’m in that “lost sheep” catagory too. Early this year, I didn’t think McCain would be the R nominee, and I thought Hillary was the best D nominee. I do understand why the Puma movement exists, and I think it is a good thing. But I do not believe they will be successful, because I don’t see a backtrack by the PTB in the D party.

I suspect that “we’re just to normal” is a correct assessment.

Hi AnninCA

there are a lot of us who have been Dems…..who if HRC were to magically snag the nomination would be pleased and definitely vote for her…..but realistically this is unlikely….
but I am in the McCain crowd who are sick and tired of an inexperienced neophyte being treated like he is all that and are willing to vote for a candidate that is honorable, reasonable and normal…..and the only person in the running like that is John McCain.

At least we know he hasn’t made up his story.
It’s weird when someone seems to have sprung fully formed from the head of Zeus……
with NO FRIENDS.
That alone gives me pause.
You;d think the perfect photo op would be”the Obamas and all their old friends on the weekend…” whatever, but no, why were their old “friends” advised not to speak?
makes me wonder, the only people I know with no friends are creepy.

It isn’t about candidates; it is about Democracy and why parties get to select candidates for us even when we vote for another. The Declaration of Independence gives a very good explanation why we can not allow this to go unchallenged.

It comes down to whether you want to live in a Democracy or a dictatorship. Your voice is important and if no one represents you then speak out and let your government know how dissatisfied you are with their choices.

Oh,please don’t flatter yourself. You sound as if you’re in high school and you want to be wooed. This is a presidential election, not American Idol.

What the fuck is wrong in overturning an obviously flawed, selected candidate.

I honestly can’t see why you are so STUCK ON YOURSELF. Very much in the vein of an Obama infiltrator/imitator.

It’s funny though because it seems while he’s been gone the MSM is starting to attack, ever so slightly some. I don’t think it started till he was gone. I think he will return, get attacked severely for this and be shocked. I would love to see that.

FOX had the author on to read his work. If only the dramatization had been more like Monty Python. The early photos of Obama in his Members Only jacket are pretty good. Not too psyched about it overall, though.

 
 
 

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-07-25 13:26:03

Yes, Susan……..my reading of the great trip is that it has been a flop.

His speeches were pedantic. Even the Berlin speech came off being described as “flat.”

The motive of campaigning was excruciatingly clear.

And the public here in America had the reaction I thought they would have. “You want my vote? Campaign HERE!”

His refusal to meet with McCain is coming into sharp focus.

Politics is local.

We aren’t impressed, and I’m not voting for a candidate who makes German girls swoon.

Get back to business, Obama.

Has Axelrod or someone else in the campaign informed Obama that Europeans cannot vote in the November election?

Or, maybe Obama is hoping to conquer Europe if he doesn’t win the election in November.

Obama truly is a pathetic human being crying out for recognition and love.

 
 

Comment by bemused | 2008-07-25 14:17:55

Not to mention the educative value to all of seeing him roleplaying a president. Ooh, ban that guy from the adventuring party! I’d say he’s taken a big hit to his image by dissing the soldiers and the Wailing Wall, flipflopping and preening, giving speeches which other journalists are able to say are not too stellar. His persuade skills are vanishing fast to all but Kool-aid addicts.

In my circle, I mostly hear people making fun of the dumbass. Calling him names and making jokes about him, rolling their eyes and turning away in disgust when reports of his nonsense reach them. I do know a few dems who will vote for him, but they will say they are not strong supporters, just have to vote dem. When you tell them anything he’s done lately, they pretend it’s ok, but they look like they are ashamed to be voting for him and just can’t admit it!

It’s funny that Obama always gets asked about the surge, yet McCain is never questioned about fully supporting this War from Day 1. He said the War would be over “in a few months” in 2003 and that we would be greeted as “liberators.” Even worse, if we could go back in time and decide again, McCain still thinks we should have invaded Iraq. That seems like pretty big news to me. Yet no one has the guts to challenge him on that. Especially not Fox News.

BOBO could challenge him on it. But them McCain could counter with when BOBO stated he (BOBO) wasn’t all that different from Bush on Iraq

 

Comment by I, Bama | 2008-07-25 13:38:52

McCain supported more boots on the ground from Day One, that position always put him at odds with Donald Rumsfeld, the chief cheerleader and mismanager of the initial war effort.

I’ll never forget the day when Rumsfeld intoned,
“Democracy is messy”, in response to the rioting Iraqis after Saddam was toppled. No you nitwit, Chaos is messy.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 21:03:44

McCain also criticized Rumsfelds tactics. The Arrogant Rumsfeld was not listening to the commanders in Iraq.

Not listening to the commanders…. who does that reming you of? It’s ok, just shout it out if you know the answer.

 
 

Comment by Dan | 2008-07-25 14:26:34

Dan don’t come here and make up stories. McCain never said the war would be over in a few months and never said we would be greeted as liberators. McCain in 2004 was attractive to a lot of Democrats because of his opposition to the Bush administration handling of the war in Iraq. Kerry approached McCain in 2004 about accepting the VP slot on the ticket and that was solely based upon McCain’s position towards the war in Iraq and his attitude towards the treatment of the military. We are in a mess in Iraq and there are no clear exit strategies and thinking Obama will magically create a solution to this mess is cult thinking. Obama lack of respect of the military and support for private contractors is a disaster waiting to happen.
If you liked Bush II you will love Obama. AND OBVIOUSLY DAN YOU LOVED THE LAST 8 YEARS.

Comment by YoMammaDon'tLikeObama | 2008-07-25 14:30:52

Dan,
What’s amazing to me is that the MSM is so in love with Obama, they do not have courage or ethics to ask him tough questions, such as:

Show us your original birth certificate.

Why didn’t you ask for more verification of American citizenship when accepting donations of less than $200 from foreign P.O. Boxes (including from Iran, China)?

Why do you lie so much and here are numerous examples?

After listening to audio tapes of your books, the fact that you sat through 20-years of Rev. Wright, and considering your associations, how can you say you are not a racist?

Based on your comments and the comments from your close associates and campaign advisors such as Jesse Jackson, Jr., and the fact you pay women less than men on your staff, how can you say you support women and are not sexist?

If you can’t unity the Democratic Party, how can you unify this country?

I just got off the phone with a VERY SYMPATHETIC call taker at the White House comment line.
I had informed her that I have never been a Bush supporter (putting it mildly) but that I am now working for John McCain.
I think GW, as his farewell swan song, should speak to America from the White House lawn and announce that the State department is recalling that Fraud and his bony ass back to the US and slapping a violation of the Logan Act on him for impersonating a President.

Giving a joint news conference with Sarkozy! What a pair of effete twerps.

Obama is a one trick pony — his speeches.

He is playing the role of preacher — but since he wasn’t raised in the traditional go to church on Sunday and forget about church the rest of the week, he doesn’t have a clue about how to be authentic. He can never be authentic — because he is a copy — he is not the original.

with that “down south” affect as if he was taught to speak in that manner. Sheer ripoff… Bullshit. He has only come to our country’s mainland some 25 years or so ago. He’s slowly but surely assimiliating any role that comes up ‘on the dime’.

He’s a Grand Master Brainwasher.

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-25 15:22:04

She probably picked it up as the First Lady in AK for 12 years. Personally, I liked when she’d been campaigning harder than anyone I’ve ever seen, and her Scranton accent became stronger as her voice went hoarse. It was effective and endearing.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 16:05:49

Yes, I noticed that too…she’s tireless!

 

Comment by SensibleWomanNOTforBO | 2008-07-25 17:09:34

Yes, I would venture to say she did.

I’m a southerner who lived in the midwest for 20 yrs. As everybody knows over time your accent does slide into the accent of those in your local area.

My experience has been that I gradually lost most, but not all, of my southern accent in the 20 yrs in the midwest. However, my husband (a midwesterner) always comments about how it was as though someone flipped a switch on my accent when we would visit my family in the south. This was never intentional on my part. It just happens without me realizing it. I’m sure that’s what happened with Hillary.

Also, regarding BO and the southern accent, there was the Great Migration in the late 19th-early 20th century of AAs from the south to the north for jobs. Many went to southside Chicago. Take into consideration that most have stayed within that area of Chicago, therefore, the southern accent has probably passed from one generation to the next. If BO has been there for 20 yrs it then stands to reason that he has picked it up just from being around it for so long.

Comment by Hope Floats | 2008-07-25 23:22:37

Yeah, but that accent belongs to the older generation. It seems Obama spent more time on the west side of Lakeshore than the South Side.

Comment by katmandu | 2008-07-25 13:54:29

Susan, here’s the AP report on the hospital incident. It comes out against Obama:

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman took issue with Gration’s statement, saying that the Defense Department did not object to Obama visiting in his role as an Illinois senator but it did not want campaign staff or the media present.
“The Pentagon certainly did not tell the senator that he could not visit Landstuhl,” Whitman said. “The issue here is that if you are both a sitting senator and a political candidate, when you are doing things like a visit to Landstuhl, you need to do it in your capacity as a sitting senator.”
The visit to Landstuhl had not been announced on public schedules but the Obama campaign said it was planned for Friday morning and that Gration would have been the only adviser to accompany Obama and no media coverage would have been allowed.

The Landstuhl medical center near the city of Kaiserslautern is the largest American hospital outside the United States. It provides treatment to casualties injured in Afghanistan.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080725/pl_nm/usa_obama_germany_troops_dc

So, no publicity, no go for Obama. What a heart the guy has. What good is a healthy heart when there’s little or no compassion in it. That’s the message million of Americans will read in their morning papers tomorrow, despite all the spin at the Obama-blog sites. (Most local, small-city papers do nothing but grab the AP story.)

Obama is getting an overwhelming majority of Democrats.

I read recently that Obama is supported by something like 75% of Democrats overall ( I think the number is a bit high). It seems to me that that’s not a good thing, especially if the 25% not supporting obama move to the McCain side. The pollsters should also take into consideration the number of ex-democrats, the ones who changed their party affiliation after witnessing the caucuses/primaries. If McCain is getting the support of 81% of Republicans plus 25% of Democrats plus an unknown number of ex-Democrats, obama is in toast.

 

Comment by lulu | 2008-07-25 14:14:57

Dan, after what the DNC did to Hillary, it is THEY who should be ashamed, not her supporters.

As for us not affecting the race, did you ever hear the words “silent majority?” While the Obamanation tour is wrapping up, the man known as John McCain has been quietly holding town hall meetings with little fanfare from the press. I guess he is “too boring” to all those expecting instant gratification. However, slowly but surely, his numbers are rising. People are so turned off by the media’s fawning over The Messiah, that it will backfire on him, and it’s beginning now. By all accounts, The Messiah should have a 15-point lead over McCain. He doesn’t. He is NARROWLY in the lead.

My local newspaper along with probably all the others, tossed Obama’s non-visit to our wounded troops just as we saw from their announcement yesterday.
This is what I sent them:
Sen. Obama’s excuse that he wouldn’t visit wounded troops in Germany because he didn’t want to make it look like a “political event” is totally disingenuous. He was told by the military that if he didn’t bring the press with him, that as a sitting Senator he would welcomed with open arms. He chose to do a media event instead.
Shame on him for disrespecting our wounded heroes and even more shame on you for falling in line and masking this candidates atrocious behavior. Snap out of it and get back to reporting the NEWS without slopping a big dollop of editorialized spin along with it.

Damn! He figured out there are only 7-10 of us. I thought we were really hiding it well.

Stop the hate!

“collective party”
Well, right from the mouth of your leader, that’s his favorite word, “collective, collective, collective…repeat repeat repeat”
Oh and here’s one for you “get over it”, your boss will soon have a DSM disorder named after him–delusional, grandiose, narcissistic,paranoid and wait a minute just plain creepy, sleazy and gross.
His little revenge of the leftists routine is pathetic.

You aren’t a very good judge of what is happening. You are confusing self pity with rage. Oh yeah, rage, little boy.

That about captures it. Will the Obama camp consider it racist or in poor taste? Something to wonder…

That is so snagged! I’m going to share it with all my friends. I had to call my husband in here to let him read it. He hasn’t even had time to unpack his luggage from his trip, but it was just too good for him not to read. Hilarious!!! The Obama supporters are over there invading the UK! Like we haven’t seen that one before. ;)

The biggest fairy tale this week is that the “Big Bad Pentagon” said that Barry couldn’t come to their hospitals in Germany …. that illusion is being blasted to hell all over the media … even by his fluffers. So. After three versions of why he cancelled on the short flight from Germany to France, how many more “fairy tales” are we going to hear? Hmmmmm? Giving the finger to HRC? No one challenged him. Giving the finger to wounded soldiers? Not so smart. hahahahahaha …. He is one dumb Harvard graduate.

OT:

I know Edwards dropped out because of the numbers…but I wonder if the possibility of his having a *love-child* played into his decision? Hmm. Makes me wonder. It is his business if it’s true – I could not care less – but I feel badly for Elizabeth if he was seeing someone else without her blessings (*blessings* are given in some marriages – especially when one person is very ill).

Okay. Enough of the tabloid stuff.

Memo to Barack Obama from the Telegraph UK

http://tinyurl.com/66h6ep

Obama has no excuse for getting this wrong because his own Northern Ireland adviser Trina Vargo wrote an oped piece in the “Irish Times” in February that began with the words “Belfast’s so-called peace walls remain”. It quoted former Senator George Mitchell – who chaired the Good Fiday talks – as saying: “I hope and pray that I live to see the day when the peace line goes the way of the Berlin Wall: its destruction will be the symbolic end of an age of conflict.”

In September 2007 Vargo even drew a direct contrast between the wall coming down in Berlin and walls staying up in Belfast in another “Irish Times” piece in which she asked: “With things settling down in Northern Ireland, isn’t it time to consider taking down the so-called ‘peace’ walls separating communities instead of erecting more”"

Found in the comment section, although I don’t think this guy really likes Americans to be begin with. There were many other’s I don’t think people in the UK are feeling the love for Obama.

We should find someone to tell Mr Obama that he is wrong about the walls coming down in Northern Ireland and ask him why he didn’t acquaint himself with the facts before he made his stupid speech. He should also be asked if it is normal for him to say stupid things in public and ask him why he does it. Is it because he is ignorant or because he is stupid.

Another:

Obama is an empty vessel – noise without substance. Another Bliar – but Americans are not quite so dumb as we are – he has NO chance.

Comment by MEchelle Hates America! | 2008-07-26 10:54:05

Don’t confuse the point of this marketing mission:

To go to Europe and talk about walls.

It’s Oblowme’s Reagan impersonation.

He’s always doing JFK & MLK – no more Farrakhan since the Pres. run – complete with accents.

Oblowme’s going to lose the election as even the idiots will tire of his limited repertoire.

There will be nada for the post-election marketing dept. as all of his lines are stolen.

Maybe just a simple sock puppet sold as a speech monkey?

Brava, SusanUnPC and here is something that is deeply disturbing about the cages the DNC is erecting. Despot? Me thinks, yes. Thanks for the links to peruse and thanks NQ & Co. We’ve never seen anything like this, ever.

Comment by Annie Oakley | 2008-07-25 16:48:59

This is outrageous. People who go to Denver should heed the advice of this person who participated in caged free speech in Boston. Don’t cooperate in your internment.

Last night, I had my first direct experience with the so-called free speech zone. It left me with one conclusion: whatever you do, do NOT go inside. It’s not only a blatant offense to free speech, but also highly dangerous and unsafe. I would suggest protesting anywhere in Boston but inside of it. No amount of hyperbole can accurately describe how disastrous the interior actually is. It’s like a scene from some post-apocalyptic movie – a futuristic, industrial detention area from a Mad Max film. You are surrounded on all sides by concrete blocks and steel fencing, with razor wire lining the perimeter. Then, there is a giant black net over the entire space.

Now the DNC embraces another Bush principle, so-called free speech zones. Is there anything left that the DNC stands for besides replacing the GOP as the corporate party?

Offtopic in response to the screen capture:

John Adams was one of the worst founders/Federalist pig that was amongst the nation’s Founding Fathers.

Yet, he gets a Showtime/HBO billing whereas Jefferson, Madison, Sir Thomas Paine, Franklin, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and more get squat.

Comment by yttik | 2008-07-25 20:06:01

The media likes to build people up, look at all the Hollywood icons. But they delight even more in eventually tearing them down. I think it’s only a matter of time before Obama regrets ever getting into this relationship with the media. It can be kind of like a fatal attraction.

 

Comment by cathnealon | 2008-07-25 20:15:54

In fact one might say that they build them up just to watch them fall. The ratings are so much better on the way down.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 21:31:34

I’ve been saying that for a while. The MSM will even better ratings when they start to trash Ibama.

The Ibama love fest was all about ratings, and the knock down will be about the same.
