Wow, REALLY???

By now, you have probably heard about the latest Obama ad. To be honest, I don’t want to give it any more play than it has gotten - you can find it on YouTube. (SusanUnPC has posted the video here last night in her story, “The Obama Campaign May Have Finished Itself Off Permanently — Through Utter Cruelty [Update].” Uppity Woman has a new story going up later tonight, and LisaB wrote about the ad earlier today, and quoted an insightful NYTimes story on McCain disability.).
In the ad, Obama attacks McCain for being in office since 1982, thus implying he’s been around too long. Apparently, he forgot that his own running mate has been in since 1973. No matter. That’s not the worst part, it’s just stupid. No, the worst part is when the ad mocks - yes, MOCKS - McCain for not being able to use a keyboard and send email, apparently trying to keep his youthful base. Well, that’s also kinda stupid insofar as some senior citizens might take offense, but that’s not the biggest issue with it. Ready? Here is it:
JOHN MCCAIN CANNOT TIE HIS SHOES OR EVEN COMB HIS HAIR MUCH LESS USE A KEYBOARD BECAUSE OF THE INJURIES HE SUSTAINED AS A POW!!! Seriously, he cannot raise his arms above his shoulders.
This is all pretty well known, which is what makes Obama’s latest ad not just offensive, but cruel and heartless.
How dare he mock this man who almost died in service to this country for not being able to do “hip” activities like use a keyboard when the man cannot even comb his hair!!!
What the hell is the MATTER with Obama??? This is so reminiscent of Saxby Chambliss attacking Max Cleland as being unpatriotic, except that Chambliss was not running to be COMMANDER IN CHIEF!!! If this is how Obama treats this war hero, how can any of our returning wounded veterans expect him to take their issues, their physical limitations, seriously??
There are many who are writing on this issue, and better than I, so I refer you to my favorite haunt, No Quarter, to see some of those pieces. But I saw a piece on this ad today that just stymied me. The title is: “Obama Gets Tough, Shoots Self in Head.” True that, but it was THIS sentence from that piece that really hit me:
“I’ve always thought that Barack Obama is unqualified for the office of President—he isn’t qualified to be a Senator, either—but I’ve never thought he was particularly mean-spirited. Until now.”
I’m sorry, WHAT? You never thought Obama was mean-spirited (though I applaud you for recognizing that he is not fit to hold elected office)? I have long thought he was, and he has shown it in any NUMBER of ways. Here are just a few: remember the “Harry and Louise” ads in which he completely misrepresented Hillary Clinton’s Universal Health Care message, as well as NAFTA, and how he dismissed her when she spoke out about the ads? Here’s a refresher:
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller reports: After two of Sen. Barack Obama’s mailers, one on NAFTA and the other on health care, prompted Sen. Hillary Clinton to say, “Shame on you, Barack Obama,” Obama told reporters Clinton got “exercised this morning,” and that the notion that “somehow we are engaging in nefarious tactics, I think, is hard to swallow.”
Uh, no, no it isn’t.
Okay, that was mild, but still, shows his character. How about this one?
Or this:
Or how about this:
Don’t you just LOVE his mealy mouth attempts to claim this didn’t happen?? Claire McCaskill’s mouth does not look like she is saying a damn thing, Obama. And pictures don’t lie.
How about the ever-growing number of people he has thrown under the bus whenever it was politically expedient to do so, INCLUDING HIS OWN GRANDMOTHER? That doesn’t strike anyone as being mean-spirited?
Hell, I could go on and on and on, sadly. I just cannot believe that people are just NOW seeing how mean-spirited he IS. He has demonstrated it time and time again, but I guess since his minions were laughing, others thought maybe it was suppsoed to be funny.
Yeah, well, that freakin’ offensive as all-get-out ad was SUPPOSED to be funny - if he wasn’t making fun of someone for activities lost to him because of TORTURE!!!
Again, here is the one the DNC shoved down our throat. This mean-spirited, egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic, unqualified, inexperienced blowhard. Well done, DNC. You really know how to pick ‘em.









































yeah… he’s toast…
He’s only toast if the MSM gets the guts to call him on it–which they won’t. He wouldn’t even be in this race if the MSM reported on half of his disgusting activities.
Send this infomation to EVERYONE you know!
Talk about it, call your friends, relatives. Get it out there, don’t stop. Screw the MSM. Go around the MSM!
The MSM are complicit in the evil doings of Ohitler.

We’re winning like we told you we would. Who’s bitter now?
Clair McCaskill. I can say no more. Other than
they are currently digging a hole in hell just for her because hell isn’t deep enough to put that kind of toxic waste into the ground safely– even by hell’s standards.
sorry- but you did show a picture of satan’s handmaiden there, you know.
As for Obama? Mean spirited? wow. really? no, really? I mean, really? Obama? really?
sheesh, how about that. Somehow this glaring fact seems to elude the media. How does the media keep up their ignorance. I know they must have media support groups for members who accidentally try and think for themselves.
Mediaperson: “um, did you notice Obama just gave Hillary the finger?”
Mediagroupmembers: “no, no, hey sit down and relax.
remember step one– ‘came to believe that there was no power higher than obama.’”
Keep living the dream. Hillary is embarrassed by her former supporters now.
So Obama supporters like to post links to white power sites? What does that say about you guys?
Not an Obama supporter. Just love fucking with the small minds. I thought you already had it marked as one of your favorites anyway!
sorry folks. i replied to a troll. my bad.
let this one slide. sometime’s it’s fun to play with them- but only if they’re over 18.
He’s probably some nutjob anarcho-communist with authority issues because he was molested by a male relative.
I will keep living the dream sweetheart. You keep living the lie.
Good one, NTZ!!
Hey, Senator McCaskill…nice job of delivering Missouri to Barky.
As of today McCain is by 6.6 points.
Well done Claire. Your children who told you to vote for Obama must be so proud.
Where is the Whitey tape? You are all being taken. Always remember that Jhonson was the guy that provided cover to the Bush administration by saying in July 2001 “While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.” You are being taken by a poseur looking to make a buck.
Obama is toast.
No Terrorist Sympathizers in Our White House Ever!
Should be in 2-1/2 weeks, say September 30. That’s the beginning of the six weeks the public can keep in it’s mind at the same time.
Be there or be square.
Larry, if this troll linked to pornography why don’t you kick them from NoQuarter. That behavior is beyond any
that should be allowed.

ABC edited out multiple sections of the Palin Interview and her responses to make her appear ignorant and a war monger!
THose of you who saw the 20/20 interview would have noticed even ABC beginning to walk back from their youtube like bullshit from day 1 of the interview by rebroadcasting the answer on how energy independance affects foreign policy by palin, this time unedited and remarkable intelligent sounding:

See it here and compare it to the one shown earlier where he cuts her off and says thats not foreign policy which is strangly not easily found on abc anymore.
Now here are three stories hitting about how much of the transcripts where left on the cutting room floor:

Thanks for posting this Rev. Wright.
Can’t McCain and especially Palin choose a journalist with some credibility to interview them. Especially since Palin is in so much demand.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
They need to go over the heads of the Obamamedia.
Get Brokaw (I have no idea if he would be impartial and fair or not), or someone who actually has a reputation as a sound journalist.
Are there any left?
I know Palin’s got an interview coming up with a Fox guy. But there must be others as well that aren’t in the Obama tank.
also can’t palin say she will do interviews only if they are not edited. after all, that would be even a higher standard for a pol.
can’t palin say she will do interviews only if they are not edited?
Someone had a genius idea that she add a rider to her contract when she appears on an interview that she can bring a camcorder and film unedited versions that can be posted to a blog or youtube.
Is there such a rare and mythical creature as a “journalist with some credibility”?
Akin to the unicorn, bigfoot, the yeti, nessie.
We need Leonard Nimoy to do a new “In Search Of”
“Join me as we search for a journalist with some credibility”
It is editing, but not for time or a repeated question, it is edited for content, and if this isn’t editing with a clear bias then I don’t know what is.
No worry, the McCain campaign is very clever in their choice of VP, their campaigning together, the ads attacking the precious and captain morgan, what they have created is a situation where the democrats are reacting, not attacking. When they react, they are playing defense and reinforcing the point the attack made.

Jeremiah:
I heard parts of these actually: the problem is that her interview was cut into pieces and re-assembled purposely very badly to slant the interview. You had
World News, Nightline on Thursday and then on Friday it was on World News, 20/20 and Nightline. Some overlaps and some inserts in all of them.
It was shameful: there was NO TIME-LINE to the interview.
It was not that they taped it and split it say in 3 complete pieces and aired each. It was cut into a
a jizz-saw puzzle are reassembled into portions with various pieces missing at any given program.
Thanks for posting this, Jeremiah. Charlie is a stooge.
Guarantee response: We honor and respect Senator McCain’s service to this country, and did not know his disability prevented him from using a keyboard.
Guaranteed. And the MSM will rush to defend their Chosen Child. The thing is: more and more people in both parties are catching on to his duplicitous antics.
Barry’s goin’ down.
hey fif, I don’t think Barry and the gang ever admit mistakes. It would be a first. They’ll have to think of a way to blame McCain for his injuries.
That’s Bambi’s way!
sorry for the typos. computer’s f-ing up.
Who else do we know who does not admit mistakes? Barry Bush III
No worries, Jeremiah - I got you covered on this (I’m writing a piece right now on the transcript v. televised program).
MSM is burying this. It’s going to be a struggle to get it wide, but when it does go wide, his campaign is over. The gaffe is worth at least 5-10 points which knocks him out of every swing state.
Do not count him out. Nothing is sure until the counting is done. And being a self admitted fat lady I shall wait to sing.
Let us all take a day to talk to some one about this election. Work for someone running for office. And if you can give a couple of bucks to John McCain or take a walk on his behalf. Call the local McCain HQ I bet they have signs for your yard.
Make this election a clean and clear victory for John McCain. I think you will be pleased where he we take us as a nation.

OMG check out Rhandi Rhodes new talk on Palin its disgusting she accuses Palin of wanting to sleep with teenage boy.
This has to be the bowels of American that is showing now, do these people not know the entire world is viewing our politics, our media and how we just handle this political scenario.
The women are the worse, all of them those on the vie, the one that said Palin should ’suck it” and now this from Rhodes they are all sick maybe menopause is getting the better of them and a bit of woman envy is setting in as Palin is so hot.
Randi Rhodes is a f*cking whore. She gets to keep the name since she used it so freely on Hillary Clinton.
they tried her on TV… talk about a deer in headlights!
very strange post
Rhodes is disgusting, but that comment will help the McCain/Palin ticket tremendously.
Every time the American public hears this type of bile from the left, the contrast between the bitter, cruel, heartless, slandering leftists, and that extraordinary, upright, forthright, principled, strong Governor named Sarah Palin becomes even more clear.
Obama and his thugs keep making themselves smaller and McCain and Palin bigger.
I wonder if Randi Rhodes is actually a Karl Rove plant.
I doubt it, but she coudln’t help get McCain/Palin any more if she was.
Oh, God, please God, save the good American people from this stupid scummy POS.
Obama Bots must be proud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):
McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain’s encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He’s an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can’t raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.
the thing is even if the MSM ignores this.. all mccain and the RNC has to do is play their response to this ad all across the swing states.
reach the voters.. FOX and the right wing media will spread the word.
I am so glad I am no longer a democrat, but now an independent, I no longer have the need to defend the filth that is the undemocratic party..
McCain’s campaign can’t come out directly without looking a little whiney. The RNC or a 527 or Fox will have to do it. Or Leiberman could say something. That’s pretty much it.
yes, mccain or 527. it’s the way to get around the media blackout on obama’s bad behavior.
Obama: “somehow we are engaging in nefarious tactics, I think, is hard to swallow.”
Obama, his campaign, and his dizzy breathless supporters did character assassination on the Clintons; both with the race-card and repeatedly accusing Hillary Clinton of being a liar.
Now the in-a-tizzy-leftists are freaking out at The One’s dropping poll numbers and frantically attempting to infect the discourse with “McCain and Palin are liars.”
O course we’ve seen this method used before - I can’t wait for the coming McCain/Palin smack down on BO’s nasty surreptitious game of slander.
Okay. Say for argument’s sake that he’s not nefarious … is stupid, rude, out of touch and making fun of Americans better? Do we want a Zeromama as CIC who is 1) a horse’s ass or 2) just.plain.stupid. America gets to decide. Either way, he’s toast.
I have a feeling the Democrats had better slow down with their rumor mill. Most of what they are putting out there is so outer space rumors that they are not only shooting themselves in the foot but shooting themselves in the head.
I knew when they kept quite about the way Clinton was being treated someone was losing it. Then when they didnt make her VP (Which Im so glad they didnt).
As long as the polls were good to them it was ok…and not they are putting so much slimy garbage out there I dont think there are any DNC/Democratic Garbage men that can get it cleaned up.
Boy I dont think I will ever admit I was ever a Democrat.
If anyone missed it:

Please get this out to the FOX …the MSM could not care less.
I know decent people who support BO, this is a thing they’ve done should cook BO’s butt.
Just when we thought no one could be less “presidential” than Bush. . .
from Forbes.com
In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits. “
Bravo, John, bravo!
So now Obama is going to eat a bit of crow…
I have a feeling the Democrats better sit back for a bit and start concentrating on the Policies.
Three of BO’s “trumpeteers” said last night that he will win.
Today’s column by E.J. Dione stated that McCain is running a “disgusting” campaign.
Oh really?
I would like to see these people’s mouths shut once and for all. Especially Mathews, Obermann and Beckell.
Please check the facts on this. McCain is capable of using the internet.
Here’s a story where McCain says he’s “learning to use the internet”
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/mccain-says-hes.html
Here’s an interview where he talks about what websites he visits:

Pathetic, Noah. He can barely use a mouse.
Did you check out those links?
So which is it, he can or cannot use a computer? You are sputtering and spinning like a top.
McCain is just starting to learn to use the computer, which is kind of strange since he wants to become the most powerful person in the world.
So the ad is a bit misleading, it should have said he’s just starting to learn to use a computer, not that he can’t use one at all. I give you that.
But saying that McCain is physically incapable of using a computer is totally false, as proven by those links I posted earlier. I might ad that the LA Times blogger who originally spread the idea that McCain is physically incapable of using a computer is a former aide to Laura Bush, which means he can hardly be counted on to be objective.
Look, I’m an Obama supporter, and I even think that ad was problematic, not where you do though. I think it could simply be viewed as being a mean ad because it picks on an old man, and plenty of people in the U.S. can’t use computers (my parents included) so I think that was a total misstep on the Obama campaign’s part.
However, you are spreading lies by repeating the myth that McCain is incapable of using a computer.
too bad you, NOAH learned how to use one. Go away.
Noah -
I do factcheck. McCain can type VERY SLOWLY, so he usually dictates to his wife, who types for him. I guess you are unaware of the damage done to his arms with the 5 1/2 yrs of torture. I checked one of the LA Times links, and it doesn’t really support your thesis. Thanks, though.
I just seen a video of the chosen one and bill clinton where clinton says he will do anything to help nobomba…I used to have respect for clinton. If anyone talked about my wife like nobomba did Hillary…..I would not be in a room smiling and telling him how I will help you. He would be outside under the first city bus….
uh … saying you will and doing it are a little different. Go back and look at the tape from the news conference. Bill NEVER looks at zeromama. Not once.
I thought it kind of odd that Bill said …”he will win handily.” Not the kind of word you run into - or at least where I live you don’t - on a day to day basis. Just a thought.
MCCAIN/PALIN 08
HILLARY 2012
Astra….people from the south use that word, handily, readily…..:)
I am from the South, and I know that word is used, but it still implied a double entendre.
“Handily” = stolen, using his hands, dirty scummy fingerprints all over it like the primaries
He’s helping him by playing golf with #41 this weekend in Kennebunkport.
42 “George, you think Mac will appoint Hill to the cabinet”?
41 “Bill, after all the ammo she’s given him, hell, he’ll give her the choice of Sec. State, Sec. Def. or the next Supreme Court opening”
42 “Cool”
41 “Right”
42 “Five bucks a hole, then”?
41 “You’re on”
i’ve thought about hillary being named secretary of state…
It’s called building future political capital.
2012
come on RNC, make an ad to defend McCain from this smear! The MSM won’t take a break from Ike to deal with this and McCain is smart not to point it out during a tragedy. BUT the RNC should fight back or a POW group. Obama is just sick! It is no accident. No one can be this dumb. It is a tactic to mock McCain’s disablity, Obama probably thinks it will win him votes with assholes like himself.
I know you hate Obama, but please check the facts on this. Saying McCain can’t use the internet or a keyboard is simply false.
We checked the facts.
The facts say Obama is a low-lie scum.
haha, make that low-life scum
Did you go to those links I posted? Saying McCain is incapable of using the Internet is false. McCain even says so himself and his spokesman does as well.
So ZEROMAMA is just a common LIAR is that right?
No. McCain is capable of using the Internet. He just started learning. That doesn’t make Obama a liar.
Then the ADS LIE. Either McCain uses the computer making zeromama a liar or McCain can’t making your point moot. Pick one Noah. And start building that ark buddy. Pick carefully. The DNC may depend on it.
McCain is just starting to learn to use the computer, which is kind of strange since he wants to become the most powerful person in the world.

No. The ad LIES … and it is not a measure of a candidate’s suitability as CIC to use a freaking computer. If serving in the military is off the table, than you have to see that this is certainly stupid …. oh … right …. you are supporting zeromama so enough said …
Are you a doctor, or do you just play one on the internet?
Have you given Senator McCain a physical?
Determined his range of motion, dexterity, or how the 5 1/2 YEARS OF TORTURE MAY HAVE IMPACTED HIS USE OF HIS HANDS?
The ability to use a computer is way down on my list of qualifications for POTUS, behind

All of which BHO is sorely, woefully and utterly lacking in
And yes, the “picking on an old man” tactic will backfire on Obama, big time.
Think there may be a few hundred thousand elderly voters in and around a fairly flat peninsula down south that may take notice?
hello Stooge! The ad alleges he doesn’t know how to email, when in fact, he does. Whether it’s convenient for you or I to use email, it’s uncomfortable and slow for him because HE WAS TORTURED. I wouldn’t choose the most cumbersome method of communication either, that’s why I avoid Obamabots. Now fuck off, baby dick.
Whats new—Obama has many many misstatements.
Yep vote for Obama he can send email wow, now that should make you all sleep better at night.
Your guy said he can’t use the internet. We all know that is because the process is laborious and difficult for him because of his war injuries, so his family and assistants help him - his choice instead of using audio software.
Well said, Hope FLoats - I should have read further down before I commented above. You are exactly right. And this DOES negate the implication that he’s just too old to use one - it is just too hard, which is why others do it FOR him.
This is the way I would do the response to OBama’s email ad.
Sarah Palin walking fast toward the camera, with camera going backwards.
“Senator Obama says Senator McCain doesn’t do email.
senator McCain reads emails and dictates email.”
Sarah Palin stops, looks into the camera and Says:
“Senator Obama, do you know why Senator McCain doesn’t type his emails? He lost some of his finger mobility in his service to the country. You wouldn’t know a thing about that, would you?”
Palin resumes walking and walks briskly into the camera.
“There are millions of my fellow countrymen and women who don’t do emails. They are as much American as anyone and are the bedrock of this country. I am Sarah Palin and I speak for them and for Senator McCain.”
That should finish off Obama campaign.
I like it!
The Obama BS needs to be scooped up and flushed down the toilet once and for all!
There are so many things that should inherently disqualify this guy. What sensible, logical people are voting for this guy? Seriously.
Without the media reporting anything, alot of people don’t hear things. And for some, if it’s not reported, they don’t know it.
You want to know why Obama is spending a lot of time in NH?
Just released:
ZOGBY: New Hamshire - McCain 49.1, Obama 42.8
State: New Hampshire
Updated: 9/13/2008
Summary: McCain - 49.1% Obama - 42.8% Not Sure/Other - 8.1%
“Still very close here. In a state that loves John McCain, and handed Obama a bruising defeat, McCain has a higher favorability rating.”
Electoral Votes: 4, Too close to call
Full crosstab data from New Hampshire is available to subscribers to the 2008 Presidential polling package.
Methodology: Zogby International conducted an online survey of 433 likely voters. The poll ran from Sept. 9-12. It carries a margin of error of +/- 4.8 percentage points.
That would be awesome … there are so many leaks breaking out in this titanic fraud that he can’t be every where, raise money, etc. I still think that not taking the public funding was the biggest mistake. It is the thing that looking back scholars will say sunk his campaign.
Need to get New Hampster on the case pronto!
I’d like to go, but I have some work to do in Virginia.
The good news is that Obama is losing. The bad news is that it’s a Zogby poll.
The RCP average is only 3.3 in favor of the precious, still close with plenty of time left, don’t forget a D congressman from NH has just endorsed Mac.
Patience, all good thing to those who wait.
Isnt it fnnny how many of the Dems that are up for re election this year are also running scared.
The “young pretender” is 47 years old! That’s 3 years shy of being a half century old. Yet he thinks he’s so cool and cutting edge. Do all his fawning youth idolizers think he’s 25 yrs old or what? I mean BO is older than a lot of their dads! To be hitting so close to 50 BO sure has a thin resume.
BO screwed up big time in his ad poking fun at John McCain’s lack of computer savvy. Obama & his campaign are traveling down a slippery slope with this insult against a man who spent nearly 6 years as a POW & who, as a consequence of enduring extreme torture, cannot use a keyboard.
The “old warrior” will have the final say and will win the election on Nov 4. That’s because this country is not ready for a mean-spirited, dishonest narcissist, patron of street thugs to assume the office of POTUS.
Early voting will be crucial in this campaign. Obama needs to forget about red states and work to ensure he doesn’t lsoe any blue states. I can’t believe NJ and PA is close.
Early voting will be crucial in this campaign. Obama needs to forget about red states and work to ensure he doesn’t lose any blue states. I can’t believe NJ and PA are close.
i think he loses PA - too many bitter people clinging to their guns and religion… bitter at barko for questioning their right to have both!
at that is a good thing!
I’m from NY, and I noticed a lot of apt sublets and budge hotels are booked that weekend Oct 1 - 06. That is the cut off to register to vote.
I’m in PA, based on my inbox filled with anti-Obama e-mails from friends and co-workers, things don’t look good for BO. Each e-mail has a distribution list of 15-20 people. 15-20 people tell 15-20 people and on and on and on. Of course, he barely showed his face in the primaries. Jason Altimre, the local rep. gave BO his endorsement despite how his constituents voted for HRC. He is going down too!
Noah give it a rest I don’t think any one will vote for any candidate over the other due to the fact that one can use the internet and the other cant.
Who cares I think there are more pressing issues than that at the moment it was a dumb ad in the first place coming from a camp that loves to say this campaign should be about issues, I don’t see how sending email out is one that will be a big vote changer.
From the Forbes article it looks like it is McCain’s injuries. Sorry but I think this might lose Obama a few service men too—Especially the ones who got injured in the line of duty.
Lets see now Obama cant take the time to visit our injured service men while in Germany — Now Obama is making fun of an injured service man because his injuries prevent him from preforming certain tasks.
I wonder if the Dems/Obama will stop these stupid ads long enough to find out if there is a cure for “Foot and Mouth Disease”
Obama has already lost service men and women.
And don’t forget that Palin DID visit the wounded soldiers in Germany…
Excellent post. Obama has run a very negative campaign throughout and called Hope.
Words? Just words? Yup! Just words.
Thanks, Bud! I appreciate that!
What a great point. You might give him a break if he were about 35, old enough to begin his political career, you could cut him some slack, as they say, but the POS is almost 50 and he has no legislative accomplishments and no one can say for sure what he did in the community. Isn’t the alleged community worse off now than when he became involved, and isn’t he Rezko, Ayers and himself a lot richer? P O S he is.
not so fast, there… he did pay people write his memoirs for him…
From now on, we need to demand a certain minimal IQ score before letting people into the party. This will eliminate the whole Obama problem.

Golly gee, Perry, you make a great point, but don’t make it too high, the IQ, I mean. Say 66.
Notice McCain and Cindy getting a pin from the firefigters at the 3:20 and 4:20 mark. Obama gets NOTHING.

I don’t think backtrack will get too many votes from the NYC fire dept.
Senator and Mrs McCain seems to be welcomed and admired.
backtrack seems to be tolerated.
Do you think sitting in wrights church will be forgotten by New Yorkers? I don’t.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS, AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
Is that why BO seemed to be p’d at the ceremony and just threw his rose on the pile—he did not get a pin? Maybe they figured he would not wear it so why bother.
I’d say the fine folks there in NYC have a finely tuned bullshit meter.
Ah, poor Claire. She’s looking there like she wants her Mandingo moment! :-0
OK, I need brain bleach after reading that.
Too much tea-leaf reading??? Did he say that?
What do you call it when Hillary merely mentions that past primaries have gone into June as an example of why her staying in the race wasn’t unusual became “HILLARY IS CALLING FOR B HUSSEIN WINFREY TO BE ASSASSINATED”
“The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us.”
I thought the Bush Doctrine was that if you harbor terrorists, you are the same as the terrorists. So Palin was right to clarify the question.
Be sure to read Charles Krauthammer on this issue. He is actually the writer who first used the term “Bush Doctrine”. He says Palin was absolutely write to ask what aspect but goes on to say that Gibson’s definition that he gave to her was wrong.
Obama is using the same tactics used during the primaries. First they cry racism. Now they are calling the McCain campaign devisive and negative. Can’t they try something new?
Everyone’s sick of the race-baiting, and McCain has run a clean campaign.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO:
Mother of All Flip Flops: Obama NOW says “we went after those who attacked us, appropriately”
September 13, 2008
http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/
Appropriately where? On Mars? Yeah that has to be it.
I think he has always supported the attack into Afghanistan and actually supports a bigger presence there.
Obama going with not just the kitchen sink strategy now, but the plumbing, and the gutters, too.
Obama is DESPERATE!
The swing states are moving for McCain and once Democratic strongholds, are now up for grabs.
But we can’t sit back on our heels! We MUST stand up and fight against Obama, but do it in the right way, because you know the media is in the tank for BO.
Expect more personal attacks and hot air rhetoric from Obama and company. They are in a downward spiral and about to crash.
For some reason I have a feeling that BIll is probably laughing about all of the polls turning against Obama.
Obama has treated both of them like pieces of crap.
We shall enjoy every minute of Ohitler’s downward spiral!
I’ve got my popcorn and Monday I’m sending more money to the Republicans.
MCCAIN/PALIN 08
HILLARY 2012
Thanks! I’m sure they can use the funds. Send it to the McCain campaign directly.
Maybe the 527’s should throw some money at the Enquirer and the Globe to do some digging and reporting.
Okay, I’ve got a good troll story for you.
We have the same ones at gretawire that come by every day that are obviously not even Americans (terms like “Republican Rulers” and calling Bristol Palin’s pregnancy being “hit up” are a couple of the tip offs). They do the new names thing…like BobinGA, MistyinTN, another tip off. It’s like the three stooges, the Moe troll is a bit smarter, but then there are the other two.
So people were engaging this afternoon with GazaMoe I’ll call him. He fancied himself from newyorkcity today. No, not NYC, which most people would put, the spelled out as I put it designation.
It is no secret from the posts I was making in between that I am not amused by Obama.
GazaMoe is going off on Bush like they do and said “your government takes money from oil companies..blah blah blah”.
So I said, “YOUR GOVERNMENT? newyorkcity indeed!”
The others were catching on (only takes a new person a few days really, but they patiently spar with them until they figure it out). “Are you even an American?” someone asked.
*crickets*
Finally, GazaMoe says, I’ve lived here all my life.
“And I’m Ed Koch!” I replied.
GazaMoe, “I don’t know, maybe you are.”
(yeah, because Ed Koch does sooooo much campaigning for Republicans…lol)
Can’t wait for GazaCurlyJoe to return later to lecture us on how many planes McCain crashed and how he cheated on his wife with pill popping Cindy.
Man, they need some new material. Their Obots R Us Talkin Points N Lies N Stuff lists are getting stale.
The latest from my on-going debate on the Obama blogs regarding the new ads, apparently, again, as in the primaries, ‘truth is not a factor’ for his supporters:
Stop Donating Until Obama Grows A Pair | Report to Admin Reply
By Obama? 10 minutes ago (Updated 10 minutes ago)
I suggest that Obama supporters stop donating to this useless money pit (campaign) until Obama starts attacking McCain. Memo to Obama: A tough ad is an ad that questions McCain’s Integrity, Character, or Honor. A smart tough ad is an ad that questions McCain’s Integrity, Character, or Honor and is relevant to middle class voter’s economic or security interest. Truth is not a factor.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/gG53SH/commentary#comment-gG3vfy
Exactly, when has truth ever been a factor with Obama?
Ugh, they make me sick.
As a republican… I’ve learned…
Never underestimate the power of Democrats to find defeat…
Democrats had every advantage… I suppose where’s there’s the will - they find the way…

Apparently they are still grasping for straws and think that issues are no longer important (since he has no record to run on geniuses), that all smart people are already convinced that Obama is our savior and just the ‘insects’ don’t get it:

Man, you just don’t get it! You are still focused on issues. Those of us that use reason, logic, common sense, etc, etc, etc,…ISSUES to decide for whom to vote are already voting for Obama. I am taking about influencing the undecided or right leaning insects(err voters).

As with all fascist and/or charismatic predecessors in the world who thought they might Rule The World, maliciousness and cruelty are just part of the personality. That cruel streak gemerally spills over into the followers, generally also attracts young people who resent not having power over adults, while being financially dependent with an entitlement attitude. Look how well he manipulated his followers and surrogates to do his evil for him, voice his evil thoughts for him! Were you REALLY surprised that FISA attracted him? Really?
His mean-spirit is no surprise when you thnk of it that way. And the more power over others he got, the meaner he and his followers got….an omen of who he really is and what he would be capable of if he were to acquire the Ultimate Power.How many of you have seen forums where there are diaries or messages showing total hatred of old people, women, those who work with their hands? The fact that this two-legged demon is self-destructing is a major blessing for the world.
Uppity - Well said, comme toujours.
Oh, absolutely, Uppity. I knew that who Obama was would be revealed eventually. WE certainly knew it sooner, but now, other people should see it, too. He is not a nice man, to put it mildly.
THe thing abt this ad is that you know they are going to try and claim it was just abt age. That’s okay, right? TO be ageist? Why not - they’ve been so damn sexist this year. So, they were just showing off to the youngsters how HIP Obama is. Well, you know damn well that they knew McCain was physically incapable of doing those activities on a aregular basis. It was just cruel, heartless, and very, very telling. I hope every military person, veteran or active, sees this, thus SEEING Obama.
And this is the man who wants to be C-i-C. Right.
Todd Palin will be on Fox I think Tuesday and Wednesday.
ABC Busted On Hiding Sarah Palin’s Full Answers- Updated with abc news contarct url
NewsBusters has the detailed and a link to the original transcript, but a teaser of the type of
things ABC deliberately didn’t show the viewing public is below: (Contact Form to ABC below the post, in case some want to ask them why they cut out important portions of Palin’s answers)
Next we see that Palin was not nearly as hostile towards Russia as was presented in the edited interview:
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
The administration has said we’ve got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
PALIN: First off, we’re going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain’s running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And we’ve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep…
GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.
PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. That’s why we have to keep an eye on Russia.
And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.
We also see from Palin’s following remark, which was also edited out, that she is far from some sort of latter day Cold Warrior which the edited interview made her seem to be:
We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also. We’ve learned lessons from that in our relationship with Russia, previously the Soviet Union.
We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.
The portion that NewsBusters put in bold are whole segments of Palin’s answers that they just edited out and didn’t make available to the public.
All interviews are edited but the bias shown in how the interview was presented to the American public in relation to the actual answers that were given by Palin, shows an incredible amount of behind the scenes deliberation to show the public only what they wanted them to see instead of what the public wanted to see, which was all of Palin’s answers.
NewsBusters has much more information on removed segments of Sarah Palin’s answers.
Read the whole interview to see how ABC has tried to play the public.
I am adding the contact URL for ABC News, so people who see how much of Palin’s answers were deliberately hid from the viewing public, can ask them why they felt the need to hide Sarah Palin’s full answers from people that depended on the television interview to get the answers about Palin they were seeking.
. Now why would Charlie Gibs …Fair?No he isn’t why would he leave out what Sarah Palin had said.Here is the full of what Sarah Palin said.So why would Charlie Gibson leave this out, huh? It shows that she is so much far better then Obama to handle what ever comes her way.
Mccain /Palin 08
If McCain can’t comb his own hair, that must mean he can’t scratch his head if it itches either. My head itches all the time. Wow… talk about torture.
Who shampoos his hair, I wonder?
Think maybe Bill and Hillary might have some “friends” helping the Obama campaign? Maybe Bill loaned him the gun that he just shot himself in the foot with during “the meeting.” Turn about is fair play, 2012 will be here before we know it.
I also saw where someone from a Hillary blog posted the questions Gibson asked Obama and then the questions Gibson asked Palin. Stark difference.
It’s over at the Anchoress blog.
Cheers, nice blog, nice people.
McCain can talk and speak more clearly not to mention he writes better than Obama and thats probably.
Obama - well he can write spam and send it enmass but who wants that? Not me.
Obama also goes “ummmmm uhhhhh ehhhh uummmmm unnnnn uhhhhhh welll ummmm uuhhhh well you know, LOOK! blah blah blah” A LOT! Yikes! Obama is Bush III.
