“You Got To Know…”

walshobama_r350x200-2.jpgWhen to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em; know when to walk away, and know when to run…” Ah, yes – that classic Kenny Rogers song. Well, apparently, Larry Walsh didn’t know when to walk away or when to run. Who is Larry Walsh, you ask? No, he is not the gay man who claims he had sex and did drugs with Obama in 1999 – that was Larry Sinclair. No, Larry Walsh is the Will County (IL) County Executive, good buddy, political confidante, and frequent poker player with Barack Obama. No, I’m not kidding – Obama is into poker, so much so that he organized a poker group while in the IL Senate. Obama claimed it brought together Republicans and Democrats, as well as the lobbyists who support them – he did not emphasize that point, big surprise. According to the reports, Obama does not engage in banter or conversation while playing, he just pays attention to his cards. What a fun guy he must be. Ahem.

So who cares about some county executive anyway? Well, the FBI, for starters. Yes, that is right, yet another one of Obama’s CLOSE associates is under investigation. How many does that make now? Let’s see – there’s Tony Rezko, convicted felon who looks like he’ll be singing like a bird to stay out of prison; Kwame Kilpatrick, former mayor of Detroit, convicted felon; Gov. Blagojevich, who is under investigation, and about whom Rezko may well be singing; and then there’s Bill Ayers, confirmed, unrepentant domestic terrorist who is only out of prison on a mere technicality. These are the people of whom I can think off the top of my head. Feel free to add more.

Anywho, seems Larry Walsh is in a bit of hot water with the Feds. And before anyone tries to deny that Obama and Walsh aren’t really that close, and he doesn’t really know him, blah, blah, blah, just take a look at the photo above from February, 2008.

Uh, yeah. Just save it. They are clearly, um, close.

And then there are the EARMARKS that Obama has porked Walsh’s way (major H/T to Jennifer Rubin at Commentary Magazine for this information and newsflash. Earmark citation is HERE):

In 2006, Obama requested that Will County receive $1.3 million to support its Flood Studies for Unincorporated Will County.

In 2006, Obama requested $800,000 for the Will County Sheriff’s Office Wireless Communications Technology Upgrades.

In 2006, Obama requested $1,953,331 for Will County’s Ridgewood Water and Sewage Project.

In 2005, Obama requested $2 million for the Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, to establish a Center for Academic and Community Learning, which is designed to address the significant educational needs of the less advantaged in the Will County region by providing academic assistance not only for students on campus but also for residents of the surrounding communities.

And that’s just for starters. Feel free to peruse the whole long list of Obama’s earmark requests – holy freakin’ toledo. Oh, yeah – Obama is SOOO not a typical politician!! Hahahahaha!! Right.

Now, just why are the Feds interested in Obama’s close confidant and long-time friend, Larry? Good question. No one’s saying, and Walsh claims he hasn’t the foggiest why anyone is talking about the Feds anyway – he hasn’t done anything!

Cough, choke.

Huh. I guess he didn’t see this Washington Times article, “FBI Investigates Obama’s Friend“:

According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of a Will County auditor to ask questions about Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.

Mr. Walsh, who served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005, was endorsed by Mr. Obama in his county executive election bid. With the support of some of Mr. Obama’s U.S. Senate volunteers, he easily defeated incumbent Republican Joseph Mikan.

Will County auditor Steve Weber confirmed that his office had been asked by the FBI to assist in an investigation, but he did not elaborate on the specifics.

Two FBI agents out of Chicago reportedly spent more than an hour in the Will County offices on Wednesday morning.

Yeah, I’m guessing when the FBI comes to chat for an hour, they include that it is best to not talk about specifics. So, what’s the deal then? This:

According to sources, the Walsh investigation may be tied to lobbying firm Smith Dawson and Andrews, which was hired in 2006 for $10,000 per month to help Will County acquire federal grants.

The firm, which is registered with the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, assists clients with communications and legislative strategies that better their public policy agendas, according to its Web site. Last month, Mr. Walsh announced that Will County was the recipient of a $750,000 federal government grant that would allow law enforcement and prosecutors to fight against domestic violence.

One of the firm’s partners, James P. Smith, contributed $2,000 to help Mr. Walsh’s county executive election bid.

Money. It always comes down to money, doesn’t it? Let’s finish up this interesting article about the relationship between Walsh and Obama:

A corn farmer from Joliet, Mr. Walsh has supported his friend’s presidential bid, and campaigned for him in rural and farming areas of the state. They are seen hugging each other in photos before Mr. Obama’s announcement that he was running for president.

The two men became tight friends during their tenure in the Illinois Senate and bonded over games of poker. According to a report in Time magazine, Mr. Walsh lost to Mr. Obama once with what he thought was a winning hand, and then slammed down his cards and said: “Doggone it, Barack, if you were more liberal in your card-playing and more conservative in your politics, you and I would get along much better.”

Mr. Walsh denied any knowledge of any investigation.

“I don’t have a clue what you are talking about,” Mr. Walsh said in reports published Thursday in the Chicago Sun-Times.

“I’m innocent! I’m innocent! Just like Tony Rezko, Kwame Kilpatrick, and Bill Ayers! Really”

For crying out loud, the hits just keep on coming from Obama. If these are the people we KNOW about, with the total paper job of the MSM for Obama, how many more are there? And WHY are the alleged news sources not covering these issues? McCain is right – if this was ANYONE else but Obama, the MSM would investigate, nay, SCREAM from the front page, about these characters in Obama’s life, and Obama’s character. Can you just imagine, just IMAGINE, if these kinds of people were in Senator Clinton’s life? Or Senator McCain’s life? Or ANY OTHER POLITICIAN’S life? But with Obama, they are swept under the rug, “move along, folks, nothing to see here, nothing to see! Move along!” You know, at some point, preferably before November 4th, these questions must be asked, and answered, and I don’t mean Obama’s typical, “I barely know the guy – saw him walking down the street! That’s IT! Stop asking me already and leave it alone!” All I can say is where there is smoke, there is fire, and there is a smoldering one surrounding Obama. Questions must be asked, and answered now (though they COULD have been asked, oh, I dunno, maybe EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO???). Yep, some answers would be mighty nice.

You know, this would be a pretty big change for the US of A – to elect someone with known shady associates BEFORE they got into the White House and just letting it go as opposed to hounding them into shame like, say, Gary Hart. Heck, he had one affair and was sent off to Purgatory. Obama has a shady past, no records, criminal associates, and he is sailing right along. Maybe THIS is what he meant by Change? If so, that’s some change I can do without, I’ll tell ya. Anyway, stay tuned – no telling which good buddy of Obama’s will be in the cross hair’s next! Can’t wait until it is OBAMA in the cross hairs – now THAT would be new and different!

Isn’t this election electrifying?!?! Oh, boy…

Wasn’t it just recently that a poker game was used by lobbyists to pass money to politicians? i.e., deliberate losing as a pay-off. Or, am I recalling some movie? There has been so many scandals and so claims and counterclaims by GOPers, Obombers, and the punditry that I can’t keep everything straight.

Comment by Ellen D | 2008-10-08 09:48:55

Wonder if the FBI asked about Obama’s record of winning at poker. Strangely, the lobbyists may be terrible at poker.

Comment by Denise | 2008-10-08 09:55:13

Do the FBI keep tab’s on known terrorist? i.e Ayers and Dohrn?

It seems to me if the FBI knew a reason why Obama should not be President that information would be used to block his election.

I just can’t imagine the FBI allowing someone that seems so dangerous into the White House.

Comment by PamFlorida | 2008-10-08 10:33:22

Guess what! Presidential candidates are not investigated by the FBI or any other law enforcement body. Loophole in the law! Can you believe it? I’ve shown more ID just to get a bank account than BO has had to show to be president. You would assume this to be priorty of national security.
UNBELIEVEABLE!

Comment by Betty | 2008-10-08 11:14:31

now I know why he decided to run for the presidency, how close was his decision to Tony’s indictment?

 

Comment by athy | 2008-10-08 11:15:50

PamFlorida-
Who vets the Presidential candidates before they are given the green light to run in primaries?

Who vetted Sen Obama?

What is name of committee/commission
Who sits on that commission?
What criteria did they use?

Shout out to anyone who can provide answer.

We need to make sure that these individuals are held accountable for the fact that they allowed an unqualified individual with a very shady past and links (STRONG LINKS) to people of such questionable character -they allowed

this type of person to actually ’slip in’ to the campaign process…

Comment by Astra14 | 2008-10-08 09:09:52

Thank you, Amy. If Obama wasn’t running for President with the media covering for him, ten to one he’d probably be under investigation and/or heading to jail, also, like his friends.

Comment by CamdenRave | 2008-10-08 10:59:20

Why would he be heading to jail? What crime has Obama committed?

Sadly, none of it matters to the MSM. They are in the tank for Obama and these stories won’t make it on the major networks… maybe Foxnews.

The Obama sheep will just blindly follow their shepard, never caring where he leads them.

Comment by Jim S | 2008-10-08 11:04:05

Things get noticed in other places too:

http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5445

A little off topic but an example that Obama’s tactics are seen by others and they’re afraid.

Comment by athy | 2008-10-08 11:26:03

Jim S-
Thank you so much for this link! I will crosspost.
This is incredible what this author is writing about.

Excerpt:

“Whether it is Kent Higgins, a Chaplin at the University of Massachusetts, attempting to use official University action to directly build Obama’s workforce by providing college credit for Obama campaigners, or PBS ensuring that an open ardent Obama supporter whose own success as an author is dependent on Obama’s victory, moderates the Vice Presidential debates, or Virginia public school teachers coordinating an “Obama Blue [shirt] Day” campaign to indoctrinate the young children they have so much influence over with the conviction that Barak Obama is every authority figure’s leader of choice (Obama Jugend?), or Obama’s throngs of attorneys threatening with litigation broadcasters that air unapproved messages, the actions taken together amount to a “forced coordination” – what the Nazis referred to as Gleichschaltung. ”

We need to get more information out to the international media so they can get the word out.

Our US main stream media has FAILED US MISERBALY- I wont even go into possible motives.

We need to get facts out to Financial Times, BBC, for example and out to any and all influential international publications.

There is a saying in journalism that if you want to know what is happening in your community, read the newspapers located OUTSIDE of your community.
So much information and so many facts are suppressed by local/US media that we need to go outside of the US to get to the truth.

Also, pass on info to independent journalists and independent media…

Of course, no matter what the source of your news-always have a healthy dose of skepticism when consuming the news.

Comment by Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy | 2008-10-08 10:07:38

LOL. Yes, one can only hope that Rezko is laying it all out.

And I agree with what others are saying – the MSM is so totally in the tank for Obama, I just don’t know how we break through that. It is astonishing. And hard to believe this is really the USA (it was REALLY bad in 2000 with the media, and has gone downhill from there, IMHO).

Orange jumpsuits – good one, WCA!

Would that “domestic violence” include activities like bombing a police headquarters or the Pentagon for instance?

 

Comment by Tess | 2008-10-08 09:24:46

There is a brilliant underated movie, written and directed by Charles Burnett, called “To Sleep with Anger”. Watch it, see Harry as Obama. It’s almost an internship.

Comment by bemused | 2008-10-08 09:32:12

What a picture. Could be photoshopped for a bodice ripper. I think something posted yesterday in “What Sticks” is relevant: the None has been promoted as a rock star, and we all know that rock stars have a lot of questionable friends, so no problem. The public is inoculated against shock about outrageous associations. Maybe the problem really is the relativity of moral judgment.

 

Comment by Geoff | 2008-10-08 09:35:34

Could be a new thread against Obama. I think McCain has to keep swinging with Sarah on Obama to have a chance.

Did you all see the biggest gaffe of last night? “The government created the computer” What a dope Obama is, especially considering he has ragged mccain for not knowing about computers. MSM yet to cover, of course.

Yes, but the Gallup and Ras stay very high….The heat must be turned up a bunch more to knock him down from 49%

Comment by Sue | 2008-10-08 09:38:24

He lost 2 in the Rasmussen I believe. Obama’s lead is down to 6. Wasn’t it 8 points yesterday?

Comment by Geoff | 2008-10-08 09:39:44

yes, true. Look at the internals on Ras, still very very ugly for McCain….OBama gets more GOP and Mccain gets DEms, and is only up 3 points with men….and down by 8 with independents.

NEver have mccains numbers been as bad as they’ve been this week with ras.

Comment by AnninCA | 2008-10-08 09:52:11

Well, that’s reality. Undecideds are afraid, and it’s the economy. They will, as Bill C. predicted, go for a change in leadership party in that situation.

We have to see what happens in 30 days.

Comment by athy | 2008-10-08 11:35:31

Lorey,
Sen Obama and the DNC are playing the numbers game-

Look at who they are registering and the tactics used to register people.

NEVER EVER EVER let your guard down when it comes to Obama campaign strategies and tactics.

He is a PROFESSIONAL CANDIDATE-PERIOD.

He is not in public service for the public good.

I still have no idea on earth why he wants to be president of the USA…

Comment by Duras | 2008-10-08 11:26:30

Yes, I’m afraid so. I’m a registered Republican and have been a staunch supporter of John McCain for over 8 years now. But in the current environment, no candidate of an incumbent party can win. All the average Joe sees on TV, hears on the radio, or reads in the news is that the economy is heading into recession and that stock markets around the world are melting down. His own house, which may have been worth $250,000 a year ago, is now worth maybe $150,000. He may even be underwater on his mortgage himself.

In short, he’s feeling a lot poorer and he’s scared. So, he’s going to vote to kick the current party out of the White House and give the other guys a chance, no matter how flawed the candidate of the other party might be.

It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is. The popping of the real estate bubble and the associated credit crisis is going to swing the election to Obama. God help us all.

 
 

Comment by OBAMA'S NOT MY PREZ | 2008-10-08 09:39:35

Why is it that every person in BO’s life is a scumbag traitor, terrorist, or felon? This is getting RIDICULOUS. If McCain has even ONE of these people in his life it would be over. I am SO sick of the MSM calling this race for Obama. When does this crap stop? Really. I want to choose my President. It was enough to watch the “selection” of Obama in the primary. Now it seems that American don’t own their vote in the GE either. Ughhhhh….this is a nightmare.

Comment by Kal | 2008-10-08 10:09:59

Plus, it is beyond strange that none of the teachers, students, neighbors, work buds, etc., he must have had in his life have come forward with any chatty little anything about him.

Comment by David L. | 2008-10-08 09:42:50

Should Obama be elected, the investigations of his associates will disappear into limbo, together with the careers of the United States attorneys and law enforcement personnel who conducted them. In that event, it will be the task of blogs such as “No Quarter” to document the manner in which the investigations were made to disappear, the targets of those investigations “rehabilitated,” and the legal “cross-hairs” shifted to investigative targets designated by Obama’s administration.

Then Larry gives him a dvd to take home , Lol..Will this poor guy be in for a surprise? Hillarious!

Comment by Medusa | 2008-10-08 09:58:08

Thanks for this, Amy. It never stops coming while the press and koolaid drinkers smile approvingly.

Jim Garaghty:

“William Ayers is a monster, who sought to kill American soldiers and their girlfriends. The misconduct of a prosecutor may have left Ayers “guilty as sin, free as a bird”, but the American people don’t have to pretend Ayers’ construction of bombs never happened.

The American people would never pretend that it is normal to be an employee, friend, and associate of Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph. It’s time to ask the hard questions of why Obama had no problem working for and with this man for so long.

Allow me to throw out a potential line: “There’s reason to doubt that oft-repeated pledge of ’supporting the troops’ when you’ve worked for a man who tried to kill the troops.”

Comment by Alice | 2008-10-08 09:59:13

I am hoping that the gop is just waiting for the right moment to drop the bomb — this guy can not be allowed to “win” — he is downright scary. I think McCain and the RNC know more than we give them credit for — they also know that if they release the bombs too quickly, that Obama and his followers may dig their way out from under before election day (just like they did with Wright and now Ayers, they have people believing Ayers is an ok guy). Timing is everything. Keep the faith.

 

Comment by lark | 2008-10-08 09:59:22

Employer/employee health insurance is a pool of healthy individuals. Unhealthy individuals usually are let go. Older individuals too. Insurers make money by contracting for services ahead of time. It is a scam of major proportions. Obama’s plan will simply be more costly for everyone and more profits for insurers.

McCain’s plan begins to take a nab at insurers. How? By placing on the table a minimum amount. Say 25 hundred or 200 per month and opening the system to competition. Many insurers will design plans to cover people for that kind of money or a little bit above that. Plans tailored to a segmented market. High risk and uninsurable individuals would need extra help. But I think private foundations and government assisted programs may mitigate the coverage for those individuals.

Comment by ritamary | 2008-10-08 10:03:32

Imho, a big reason why the Illinois political machine created the Obama candidacy is to stop all these investigations. There is no doubt in my mind the investigations will quickly go away in an Obama administration.

I sent videos of Obama and Odingo( that I got through Odingos web page) to Hannity yesterday..Lets see what happens with that.. That Ayers thing is not going anywhere.. I believe the Berg lawsuit will, because its been joined by others and now includes address where Obama was born..(perhaps sent by Corsi on cell phone before he was detained by that country?).

Comment by AnninCA | 2008-10-08 10:14:11

Nobody I know is remotely interested in where Obama was born.

He’s a valid candidate, and he’s actually doing better than expected, given his lack of experience.

I am voting McCain/Palin because of issues. I don’t agree with McCain on everything. I also have disagreements with the Democratic platform on issues.

But ultimately, my real reason for switching party affiliations is that I’m convinced, in my bones, that cronyism and lying to the public is an epidemic in Washington.

The Democrats are as guilty of this as Republicans. I saw it. I watched it. They lost credibility.

And that…..that is hard-won. Once lost, it’s gone.

But all the junk stories about Obama do not move me a jot. It’s no different than the junk stories about Palin and “Who is the baby’s mother?”

If the country votes in this inexperienced man, it’s because he’s convinced them that he’ll learn fast.

We HAVE gotten to see his judgment in terms of how he’s handled his campaign. He HAS matured. He was far, far more petulant in the primaries. His ego was obvious. He’s gotten a grip on that, to some degree.

I personally think not giving HIM his due is about as nutty as saying Palin is stupid. Obviously, neither of them are.

My beef with Obama? He’s an insider boyz.

We need a real change.

Comment by Deep Truths | 2008-10-08 11:23:22

Might seem fringy but Al Capone was taken down by something very plain vanilla: tax returns.

Obama failed to produce a basic document his birth certificate. Even if it were destroyed he could request a copy from the state – if one existed.

Plus, being born an American citizen is a prerquisite per the U.S. Constitution. No small matter especially when Obama can’t produce a legitimate birth certificate.

That really could be the October surprise if it is verifiabvle and you’re correct. Everyone would now have to really look at this lawsuit, including the MSM.

I fear that if that happens, blogs such as this will be regulated to the point that they will be useless as all free speech will be stifled.

Look closely at the picture of Obama embracing his friend. This guy has a disturbing look on his face and about him in general, notice the way he is looking at Obama. Is there some “man-love” evident there? Notice how Obama is not really hugging him back and in fact looks uncomfortable and possibly embarrassed by the embrace. My guess is that Obama, being on the Down-Low, doesn’t want anyone to notice this obvious affection and that is why he isn’t reciprocating his friends embrace. Take just a minute and look closely at the pic and you will see what I mean.

Well he would stillhave four years in prison or 8. Presidents don’t usually pardon til the end of their terms. Not to mention he might have an “accident” in prison. Rezco’s safest bet is the government protection he is getting now.

BTW, all the obamabots think that the election if over. They will have a hug surprise on Nov 5th. This election has been manipulated so much that no one really knows what is going on anymore.

This election will come down to turnout. If the turnout will be the same as in 2006. McCain will win.

There is no indication that the Republicans will not turn out in droves this election.

Here is an article written in Sept 2000 about how Bush is toast. The author, William Saletan, says that there is no way Bush will win the election against Gore.

Bush surged ahead of Gore in the polls in mid October, and we know the rest of the story.

This is interesting though, and reassures one that this election is far from over.

http://www.slate.com/id/89619/

There are so many similarities to Bush and Obama, here is reason #6 from this article… (emphasis mine)

6. Political judgment. Bush, his aides, and the Republican National Committee have made several very stupid decisions, compounded by stubbornness. Bush had positioned himself as the candidate who would “change the tone” and bring a “responsibility era” to Washington, in contrast to Gore’s gamesmanship. But in the past two weeks, Bush has approved two sarcastic personal attack ads, refused to apologize for using a gross vulgarity to describe a reporter at a campaign event, and mounted a preposterous campaign, including a TV ad, to frame Gore as a liar and coward for refusing to ditch the traditional bipartisan debates in favor of a series of smaller venues dictated by Bush.

Can Bush turn himself around? Theoretically, yes. But stupidity and stubbornness are traits. It’s unrealistic to expect a person who has just done a series of stupid and stubborn things to stop being stupid and stubborn. It took Bush and his team days to accept that nobody else saw the debate controversy the way they did. Their retreat from that ploy raised momentary hopes that they were capable of self-correction—which they promptly dashed by approving a second sarcastic attack ad virtually identical to the one that had just failed.

A candidate who puts pride before prudence, refuses to learn from his mistakes, and is capable of living for days in an alternate political universe can only survive while he’s ahead. Once he falls behind, there’s no reason to think he’s up to the task of correcting his course and regaining control of the race. Yes, Bush came back to beat John McCain in South Carolina. But in that case, Bush had a firewall of phone banks, military backers, and boundless financial superiority. The swing voters in that contest were conservative Republicans. Bush’s little-known opponent was prone to fatally undisciplined anger and was vulnerable to ads full of previously unaired negative information. Against Gore, Bush has none of those crutches. Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

Obama’s 1981 Visit to Pakistan
Though Barack Obama is totally incompetent when it comes to foreign policy, it turns out that he is more widely traveled than most Americans realize. In fact, in 1981, he visited Pakistan with a friend from college. Interesting! Does that mean he had a Muslim friend? It certainly sounds like it. One does not pick up and travel around the world with another unless they are intimate friends. It seems Muslims stick to Obama like glue.
Should we be concerned about Obama’s associations? Frankly, I think so!! This man terrifies me; he could very well be a national security risk.
Thaindian News wrote the following interesting article:
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/ente rtainment/obama-visited-pakistan-as-a-co llege-student_10035794.html

“When you are young, you are trying to know who you are and you do different things to define your identity. For Obama it is even more profound as he is from mixed race with a Muslim father and it is only natural to know who he is and purpose of his life.
Let me set the stage for you. I want to explain to you what I know about Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India) and why young Muslim students used to visit these 2 cities in 70’s & 80’s.
Knowing Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India), they are no tropical islands or paradises. As most of you know Pakistan was in a turmoil during 70’s & 80’s because of dictatorship and the Afghanistan war. I know lot more about Hyderabad in India. It has a significant Muslim population and there is lot of religious tension and unease in the same time period–70’s & 80’s.
Lot of young Muslim students trying to define their identity often visited troubled areas in Pakistan (like Karachi) and Muslim majority areas in India (like Hyderabad). Both these cities were a hot bed of religious strife and extremism.
I want to be very clear. My intent is NOT to suggest any thing here that Obama did any thing bad in his visit of these 2 cities. I am curious as to why he visited these 2 strife ridden cities in 80’s. I am surprised that media is not going after or checking out this visit to see what he did.
I want to support him but I want to make sure that we know ALL about him and there are NO SURPRISES.”

More information about Obama’s 1981 visit to Pakistan can be read at Daily Musings.
http://dailymusings.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!EBAB74DA8F94C559!5351.entry

“The following asks a lot of good questions about Obama’s supposedly ‘innocent’ visit to Pakistan in 1981. One thing not asked is whether we know exactly how long he was there? Campaign managers are known to lie a lot, especially when a troublesome issue arises. And where is our major media on this? Quiet!!!!!!
At a fundraiser in San Francisco, Ca., Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., claimed he had more world experience than his rivals, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and introduced a new bit of biographical information.

‘Foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain,” Obama said, according to the Huffington Post.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mayhill-fowler/obama-says-no-to-foreign_b_95357.html

‘It’s ironic because this is supposedly the place where experience is most needed to be Commander-in-Chief. Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world. This I know. When Senator Clinton brags “I’ve met leaders from eighty countries” — I know what those trips are like! I’ve been on them. You go from the airport to the embassy. There’s a group of children who do native dance. You meet with the CIA station chief and the embassy and they give you a briefing. You go take a tour of a plant that [with] the assistance of USAID has started something. And then — you go.’
‘You do that in eighty countries,’ Obama said, ‘You don’t know those eighty countries. So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa –knowing the leaders is not important — what I know is the people…I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college — I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.’ (But later he says the USA has 58 states and he’s been to 57 of them, not counting Hawaii and Alaska. I guess he knows Muslims better than Americans, he certainly is not picking 58 out of the air, what about 58 relates to Muslims?)

This last part — a college trip to Pakistan — was news to many of us who have been following the race closely. And it was odd that we hadn’t heard about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign.
So I asked the Obama campaign for more information.
Apparently, according to the Obama campaign, In 1981 — the year Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University — Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there. The Obama campaign says Obama was in Pakistan for about three weeks, staying with his friend’s family in Karachi and also visiting Hyderabad in Southern India.
NOW, It all sounds very innocent, ‘a college trip to Pakistan‘. Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.
There would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:
To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every ‘True Believer‘.
For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.
In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.
Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone’s family in 1981.”

Thanks for this. This is the departure point for his citizenship too, as he used an Indonesian passport to get there.

And yes, he was on a mission to find out about his muslim heritage.

I don’t care if he is a muslim, but the fact that he has lied about it is troublesome.

Remember he said in his book that he would stand with the muslims if something happens. That is not my President, he must be loyal to America, regardless of his religious affiliation.

Obama cannot do that. He should never be POTUS.

 

Comment by athy | 2008-10-08 12:04:21

Seriously…please…stay focused.
Concentrate on the last paragraph.

“Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.”

There would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:

To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every ‘True Believer‘.

For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.

In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.

Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone’s family in 1981.”

Any confirmation out there (link) for the fact that Pakistan was on banned travel list for US citizens?

Also, did Sen Obama go to Hyderabad in India or to Hyderabad in Pakistan?

These are two separate locations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad,_Pakistan

If…IF Sen Obama went to Hyderabad India and then flew to Pakistan from India, would Pakistan have let him in -IF IF sen obama had US passport?

Right now, I have no way of determining WHICH city of Hyderabad he visited. The one in India or the one in Pakistan.

Why would he go to India?

However, Obama is in a league of his own and his ability to deflect all rational reasoning from the voters is truly a terrible thing to watch.

Come on. Just because Obama attended regular poker games with these people doesn’t mean he knew them.

Let’s give the guy a break. How can it possibly be claimed he knew people he met on multiple occasions?

How do you expect Obama to remember large donors and major contributors? You know, the kind of folks every other politician keeps a list of. But not Obama. They all flock to The One and open their wallets. While leaving no paper trail.

The One is much too pure and perfect and holy to be involved in wrong doing.

The One just keeps bumping into liars, thieves, bigots, and terrorists. Over, and over and over……

For those who say they have no interest in where Obama was born: does that mean you just don’t care about the constitutional requirements at all? Are you ok with Arnold Swartzenegger being president? I can see someone not believing the possibility that Obama is not a natural born citizen, but I can’t comprehend a serious person blowing off Article II. It would, or should, take an amendment to do that.

Comment by candymarl | 2008-10-08 10:39:10

Comment by No Obamislamists | 2008-10-08 11:07:48

Obama’s own self-centered narcisism is truly disgusting. He thinks that just because he’s sitting in the oval office that millions will fall all over themselves to serve, I mean volunteer, for him and that all foreign leaders will rush to the White House and ask what they can do to help Obama and the USA. Obama is dillusional.

Also note that when he talked about Social Security yesterday that he didn’t give a time frame but it would be something he’d handle in his “first term”! Barky hasn’t won a first term, he’s already deciding what he can push out to his second term.

What a wanker

Interestingly, why doesn’t Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson or some other probing reporter ask Obama whether he is worried now that it is clear the Rezko is cooperating with fed authorities. After all, it seems Illinois Gov Blagojevich was asked that very question.

No one it seems, criticized the reporters for being racists or sleazy for asking such an obvious question.

Any bets on which reporter will be the firs to ask the frontrunner in the election for President whether the Rezko cooperation has the potential for getting to him?

Ill. gov to convicted fundraiser: Tell the truth
By DEANNA BELLANDI

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jw3DCc4q6FiZOvJFB2JWJy4ASw9AD93LUC5O0

CHICAGO (AP) — Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday called on Antoin “Tony” Rezko to tell the truth, a day after federal prosecutors strongly hinted that the political fundraiser, convicted in a state corruption scandal, might be cooperating in their investigation.

Rezko’s trial exposed a corrupt culture of payoffs and campaign finance abuses plaguing Illinois politics. The Democratic governor has not been charged with a crime but has been politically damaged by allegations of wrongdoing within his administration.

“He, like everybody else, should tell the truth,” said Blagojevich, who answered reporters’ questions about Rezko for about seven minutes after attending a dedication ceremony at Chicago State University.

The governor repeated his insistence that he does things right, although friends may make mistakes.

Rezko was convicted in June of launching a $7 million scheme to use his clout within Blagojevich’s administration to squeeze kickbacks out of a contractor and money management firms wanting to do business with the state.

Federal prosecutors moved Monday to indefinitely delay Rezko’s sentencing, which had been set for later this month, so prosecutors and defense attorneys can “engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures,” according to court records.

Blagojevich wouldn’t say Tuesday whether he was worried about his future now that Rezko, a key fundraiser for himself and Sen. Barack Obama, may be talking to authorities.

The governor said Rezko already has put him in the clear, noting a letter to a federal judge in which Rezko denied being party to any wrongdoing involving Blagojevich or the Democratic presidential candidate.

Rezko wrote the letter to try to persuade the judge presiding over his trial to release him on bond while it was ongoing.

Like Blagojevich, Obama has not been accused of any wrongdoing. The senator’s name came up much less frequently than the governor’s during Rezko’s trial.

When it comes to Blagojevich, one thing that interests prosecutors is who paid for renovations at his Chicago home, a project where Rezko’s now-defunct Chicago Construction Services was the contractor.

One person familiar with the renovation, speaking only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy, has said he was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors and asked about the project.

Blagojevich called a question about his home renovation Tuesday “much ado about nothing.”

He said he and his wife, Patti, paid for the renovation by writing checks out of their personal accounts, but he deflected questions about releasing the canceled checks.

“The canceled checks are where they belong, they’re at the bank and that’s where they are if you feel like you want to go get them, go right ahead and get them,” he said.

At Rezko’s trial, former state employee Ali Ata, who got his job as head of the Illinois Finance Authority from Blagojevich through Rezko, testified that he had to provide $25,000 to Rezko to pay contractors who were threatening to put a lien on the house if the bill was not paid. Ata earlier pleaded guilty to tax fraud and lying to the FBI about how Rezko got him his job.

Blagojevich shunned questions about his future and refused to answer when he was asked whether he would resign if indicted in the federal investigation of his administration.

“I’m not going to answer dumb questions like that,” he said.

The problem with this is that many states have “early voting” and “one stop voting” which has already begun. Early voting begins around October 16th in NC for example. That is a long time before November 4th in my view.

Obama is a bully. Not a fighter…but a bully. Big difference. That is perhaps one reason why he is not confronted by MSM as he should be. Did you notice how he bullied his way into getting extra rebuttal time at last nights debate. Good job by McCain to call the moderator on that.

STFU, you see, I am a POC and that shit doesn’t get it with me. Obama is a socialist, an empty suit and laughable as representing all people of color. Can you be anymore race baiting? I’m ashamed of you. I sure hope you are a person of color.

I would love to see the first black president in office. It just shouldn’t be Obama. There is nothing about him that I trust or like. He lies repeatedly and knowingly hangs out with terrorists, racists, and radicals. Why not get someone experienced like Colin Powell? Polls have already shown Powell would beat the other candidates hands down.

You have that right caringnurse. My family and I are sick of it. We’ve played by the books and have not taken handouts. We’ve raised 4 kids, 3 went to college and one went on to serve in the army. He’s in Iraq now. He’s proud of his country, his family but he’s not proud of Obama. He thinks he is the wrong person to lead this country. We have worked hard all our lives and taught our children to respect all people. Obama is some crazy ass who somehow things he is “entitled” because of his color to be president. Like it is owed to him. I say no way, no how, no Obama.

The FBI has big files on Obama. Trust me. They’ll get him. He’s so filthy dirty, and such a criminal, that he’s get it. Karma, karma, karma you freak Obama. The list is endless, all the way back to having Donald Young murdered. The Chicago PD, the FEDS and the CIA aren’t stupid. But they have to have their ducks in a row because you can’t give Barfy a parking ticket without being called a racist. ROFLMAO. We WILL get Obama. Too much bad stuff in his past and too many illegal acts. OJ didn’t get away with it.

Guys, the character assassination thing is not working. All this tenuous stuff about Obama being a terrorist, and hanging out with corrupt guys, it just causes the other side to bring up stuff like McCain’s prison letters, Keating, etc.

Comment by Duras | 2008-10-08 11:10:36

I don’t think anything will work against Obama now. The economy is tanking, Wall Street is in a selling mode, people are scared, and in that environment they are going to vote against the incumbent party.

Plain and simple.

Never mind that it was the Democrats who consistently protected the people who caused this massive housing price bubble to inflate and who threatened community banks with civil action if they didn’t loan money to people with no capacity to repay it. The average American doesn’t understand that. All they see is a Republican in the White House who’s a total fuck-up and they want to give a Democrat a chance now. Any Democrat. That’s why Obama will win.

That’s not true. This inevitability nonsense was used against Hillary telling us she would lose in states where she won. This is the GE now and their are no caucuses to rig or DNC/RBC to manipulate the process. If you are against Obama do something about it. There is no winner until the election takes place.

It is not “character assassination” when it is true. His past is highly relevant and bring it up is working. The trolls are very worried. Information about his shady past is spreading doubt about his judgment. Unlike Obama, Mac is not afraid of his past and overall he has a good record of actual accomplishments.

LMAO at the trolls. Guess you people are desperate. The MSM can lie, and spin the polls, but Americans can’t possibly be so ignorant that they let Barfy in the White House. He will get sent to Cuba on a boat where he belongs. I’m sure since he hates America so much that he might find Castro’s politics much more appealing.

 

Comment by AnninCA | 2008-10-08 11:09:31

I don’t get all the flack over Obama’s associates, except that he lied to the public in a public debate. That is where I think his judgment needs to be called into question.

I think AA politicians have a different path up the food chain.

I think that over-analyzing his associations leads one to an erroneous conclusion.

I think Obama is not radical. He’s horribly the “same.”

Which is probably why he chose the opposite slogan.

He’s clearly shown me that he has mastered the art of saying the opposite to deflect.

Obama is just the pocket president of the current Democrats.

And they so are not impressive to me.

John, in my opinion, really is too old. But he’s the alternative.

I’ll take the alternative.

Comment by V | 2008-10-08 11:10:42

They are too blind to see the REAL reasons why we are NOT supporting Obama..

Which are what exactly?

You can reply or not. As each of them are patiently knocked to the ground in turn, we find ourselves asking a new question: what is the true genesis of the animosity toward a candidate who has done none of the bad things you erroneously claim he has done?

A possible answer is, of course, subconcious unwillingness to allow a black person to be the boss of you.

Which is, in fact, racism.

Either come up with actual argument agaisnt his candidacy, or deal with the flimsiness of the crap you’re throwing agaisnt the wall in the hope something will stick.

Your choice. Absent such choice, the racism tag is inescapable.

Comment by Shiloh | 2008-10-08 11:31:17

You seem to be saying that we “would” vote for him if he was white. In fact, the whole race argument makes sense ONLY if you assume that a given person would vote for Obama if he were white. Setting aside the fact that he wouldn’t be where he is if he were white, being white wouldn’t get him a single vote. Republicans aren’t voting for him because he is an extremist/socialist, they would care a bit if he were white like Ayers. The fact is Obama got this far by riding the race horse but he will have to walk the rest of the way, and he isn’t up to it.

Comment by V | 2008-10-08 11:44:49

Setting aside the fact that he wouldn’t be where he is if he were white,…

Perfect! This is an allegation, not a fact. And inasmuch as it is an allegation, not a fact, this defines racism.

Comment by Shiloh | 2008-10-08 11:50:42

Only a fool can believe that he would be where he is if he were white. We know for an absolute fact he wouldn’t have gotten into Harvard Law if he had been white by Harvard’s own admission. Keep it up though. The more talk there is about racism the more it is hurting Obama. Tell us again exactly who are the racists who are not voting for Obama because he is black but WOULD if he were white? You can’t. They don’t exist. Not one.

 

Comment by NCgirl | 2008-10-08 11:56:03

V, if Obama were white, he would have been a “non-starter.” The media would have delved into his life and past associations right from the start. They would have reported all the things that we, here, know about Obama, and he would have had to drop-out long ago. The media has left Obama alone. He has not been subject to the same scrutiny that a white guy or someone of any other race would have had to endure.

 
 
 

Comment by AnninCA | 2008-10-08 11:35:02

OK, well, I’m not supporting Obama because his campaign has consistently accused the other side, whether against another Democrat or a Republican, of “distraction,” when in fact, he was simply deflecting legitimate questions. It divided the country and increased the racial tension to do so. It now is “rude” to ask Obama about his associates. It’s OK to print garbage about Palin without factual evidence.

That offends this liberal.

I’m not supporting the Democrats because they are not being authentically accountable for their part in this latest crisis.

They DID defend Freddie/Fannie when it was unwise. They are NOT responsible, fiscally. Bill C. was. The party today is not.

I am not supporting the Democrats because they have actively cultivated a sexist base. No thanks. I’m a woman. I worked hard. I raised my kids. I did my own thing to break my own glass ceiling, and I’m offended deeply that the party abandoned those principles.

I am not supporting the Democrats because they buy votes through earmarks and shenanigans. That’s the best word I can find. They are without shame about this. We need to stop.

I am not supporting the Democrats because their own primary system is patently unfair.

Mostly, I’m not supporting the Democratic party because this country needed real leadership, and they put forth an untested candidate. That’s very irresponsible. He could be great. He might be horrible.

The point is? We……real people……needed the real deal this year.

Therefore, this party played politics.

And as we have all seen……that strategy is deadly to real people in real lives.

sorry but your argument smells like a locker room. I have had and HAVE wonderful bosses who just happen to be AA. They do not promote their skin color as the reason they are in leadership positions. If I was blind do you think skin color would matter to me? If we reserve the right to judge our candidates, isn’t it character that matters? Isn’t it how this person conducts his/her life? What this person has DONE with his/her life? Did you honestly think someone could be propped up as a candidate to the presidency and NOT be vetted by SOMEONE? Stop your whining and face the facts: Barack Obama is unfit to be POTUS.

Comment by Docelder | 2008-10-08 11:15:48

Beware the distractions of race and class warfare. The issue is socialism and the socialist agenda. Want to know why these guys keep bringing up race and class? Because it diverts discussion. It’s just a slimy representation of the “ugly frog”. Nothing more. And one more thing… wonder what is up with the acorn fraudulent registrations? Overlooked is the simple question… If poll workers weren’t qualifying false registrations… what “would” they be doing instead. There is a method here and believing these fake registrations will be counted isn’t it. Our fair election system is being shaken down. This needs to be looked at in terms of domestic terrorism… an attack on the election system itself.

Polls:
A Survey USA poll shows that McCain is ahead in MN by 1 point and that Norm Coleman is beating Franken by like 9 points (not sure exactly but close.)

Another poll in the Star Tribune shows McCain losing MN by 11 points and Norm Coleman losing to Franken by like 10 points.

The second poll sampled 14 percent more Democrats than republicans. I know that this is a majority Democrat state mostly- but no way is it 14 percent.

A lot of these polls are over sampling Democrats.

 

Comment by OBAMA'S NOT MY PREZ | 2008-10-08 11:25:49

I will answer the question about why…

1) Obama is a LIAR – we can’t even get a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE out of him. No way does that get into the White House.

2) Make no mistakes, Obama HATES this country. He’s not hiding that from anyone. It takes a real POS LOSER to vote for someone who HATES the country he will run.

3) BO’s associations ARE important. They are all the people who shaped his political views and his plan for how to destroy capitalism and AMERICA. They are our enemies, sharpening their blades, waiting for incompetent dog Obama to get in office so they can finish us off.

4) Obama and Biden are anti-semites. WTH is going on with a Jew voting for those buffoons? Need we bring up AGAIN Biden’s comments about Israel just getting over themselves and dealing with nuclear Iran? Also, Obama’s friends like the man who sent him to Harvard…Al-Monsour, are Radical anti-whites, anti-America, nut jobs. All of them being radical Arab/Muslims who engender more hate than I have ever seen. Then there’s Rashad Khalidi, from the PLO. Davis, Farakhaan, Pleger, Wright, etc. ALL of whom hate whites, America and Americans. Now, can someone please explain why we should put this scary azzhole in the White House? The White House his best friend Ayers wishes he would have bombed and said in 2001 he would STILL bomb America? WTF is wrong with you idiot trolls?

5) Obama has no sense of foreign policy. He can regurgitate Hillary’s plan all he wants. While he states that there are 57 United States and we ALL know that was a FREUDIAN SLIP because there are, in fact, 57 ARAB STATES.

HE’S A SLEEPER CELL.

Comment by V | 2008-10-08 12:00:02

1) Obama is a LIAR – we can’t even get a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE out of him. No way does that get into the White House.

His birth certificate is available online, and it has been certified as a true and accurate record by the state of Hawaii.

So, as I said, put up your shit, knock ‘em down.

The rest of your reasons are, well I stopped reading after the third.

But suffice to say, the only presentation of fact you made is a lie.

Stuff and nonsense. Polls that are legitimate definitely include the “silent majority.”

The question for poll watchers is simple. Which polls are legitimate in this regard.

Obama has the lead. It’s going to be a tight month.

Comment by eleana | 2008-10-08 11:31:02

All the questions about Obama’s trip to Pakistan in 1981….with whom? how long? where?…The BIG Question should be: AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, HOW WAS OBAMA ABLE TO GAIN ENTRY? Refresher:… (1)In 1981 Pakistan was under martial law–NON-MUSLIMS were not welcomed/not allowed entry (xcpt for official business)…(2)Pakistan was on the Banned Travel List for US Citizens. So, did Obama gain entry illegally or did he use an Indonesian Passport? If the later, then Atty. Berg’s lawsuit challenging his eligiblity (dual-citizenship) as candidate for POTUS is paramount.

 

Comment by caringnurse1 | 2008-10-08 11:32:10

Jay, the problem is: McCAin can say that out in his rallys, but most of the people there are already decided anyway.. Only one debate left.. Did you notice how the questions chosen for last night were ones in which did not allow for that subject> NO questions related to abortion at all.

 

Comment by I Will Remember in November | 2008-10-08 11:34:15

I believe the FBI is taking a wait and see approach to the potential obama presidency.

Look the fbi has probably never had to deal with a situation quite like this-directly interferring with a presdential election because the person has ties to a domestic terrorist (who they pursued years ago)and socialist ties but the american people are not getting the total info to make an informed vote. Prior to the media abdicating all their journalist duties (which i believe started after the telecommunication act of 1996-thanks bill!), the media would have ran all this stuff in the primaries and obama would have been history-it is called vetting-i know the media knows how to do that-see palin and hillary. However, since this is not going to happen the fbi is charting new ground.

Here is what i think will happen: first the rezko case is key along with the sentencing delay. If obama is not elected the rezko case will not touch obama. If obama is elected he will not make it to the inaugration.
Second, the citizenship case i think it has legs and is valid. The fbi can use either one of those cases to keep obama away from the whitehouse and not interfer with a “valid” election.

That is how i see it.

Comment by scarface | 2008-10-08 11:36:51

I disagree with those who think that his citizenship does not matter.

Why should he not prove his citizenship before running for President? He may have been a natural- born citizen, but if he gave it up for the most part of his life when he went traipsing all over the world as a non-US citizen, then he does not even have a shallowly rooted loyalty to this country. His actions throughout his life has demonstrated how much he prefers to be accepted and embraced by questionable and often dangerous characters. How in the world can anyone believe that this is a peace loving man? His radical political associates have dreams of enforcing change overnight at any cost necessary. We already have one of the most difficult and costly war to deal with, we don’t need another so called “change”-monger to have such absolute power over our military forces. BO, through his actions is not a patient nor empathetic man. All his life, he has demonstrated radical tendencies while fighting for his beliefs, regardless of the consequences. His dreams of change can only happen in Hollywood. In real life, his dreams of change will bring doomsday to this nation.

Conspiracy theory or not, I recall a wise man once telling me that the war in this century is not won on the battleground. It is won when you can paralyze the economy of a country and bring it to its knees. I did not believe him then, but as I watch the events unfold this election, I cannot help but believe that BO is being backed up Islamic radical forces that want to finish what Bin Laden started. Otherwise, how can we explain what is happening with the media, DNC, FEC, the judical system, etc?

Comment by Shiloh | 2008-10-08 11:38:33

I want to clear something up about the Berg case: it is not about dual citizenship. it mentions it, and there is a “theory” that dual citizenship precludes being a natural born citizen. But the issue is Obama’s certified birth certificate.

I used to think he probably was born in hawaii and didn’t want to release it because of other embarrassing info on it. But the fact that he is fighting it THIS hard makes me think it might not be there at all – game over. If he was born in Hawaii and can prove it, the case will go nowhere. The court will not take this opportunity to make a whole cloth interpretation when it doesn’t have to. But I think it will have to force out the bc.

Shilow, He just doesnt have it. If he did, he would have provided it before the end of the 30 day period, then the case would have been dropped.. Instead he filed for dismissal.. Then item no 16 and 17 filing has added more including address of birth.

I get so sick of hearing that word racism.. We are all Americans, white, black, whatever.. We should only be measured and judged by our proven love for our country ..

 

Comment by Shiloh | 2008-10-08 11:53:09

Exactly who are the racists who are not voting for Obama because he is black but WOULD if he were white? They don’t exist. Not one. Only a fool can believe that Obama would be where he is if he were white. We know for an absolute fact he wouldn’t have gotten into Harvard Law if he had been white by Harvard’s own admission.

 

Comment by Postmaster | 2008-10-08 12:18:22

comment by V: what are he real reasons I’m not voting for Obama, absent a reason, must be racist’….or words to that effect.

How about this ttollbot: I’m a Republican, that work for you?

Is this What They Mean by “Bringing the Left and Right Together?”

Obama’s Henchmen and the Rise of Commufascism
By Shawn D. Akers Wednesday, October 8, 2008

The secret to selling bad ideas is to make sure they are the only ones available. This is how totalitarian regimes take power. Whether it was Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany or Vladimir Lenin in Communist Russia, the pattern is largely the same – totalitarian dictators come to power by enshrining themselves as cults of personality and then creating political monopolies through often less than delicate campaigns of indoctrination and censorship – especially censorship enshrouded in the intimidating aura of state power. Ironically, these cloven-tongued leaders often rise to dominance by preaching power to those they will dominate, provision to those they will impoverish, and liberty to those they will force into state labor. Whether they claim to be left or right, revolutionary or reactionary, communist or fascist, the result is always the same – tyranny.

The great discomfort for many Americans as they watch the current presidential contest is that the scent of such totalitarianism hangs heavy in the air; the pattern so familiar in European dictatorships seems eerily present in Barak Obama’s presidential campaign. Senator Obama, obviously intelligent and gifted with enviable powers of communication, has for all of his eloquence, done very little in the real world other than campaign for office. His supporters can not tell you what he has done that qualifies him to run the most powerful nation the world has ever known, but they know he was born for the job – they were there at the convention; they heard the speech; they felt the magic; chills ran up their legs, and they cried their eyelashes off as Mr. Obama stood tall between the ivory columns of a Greek temple to accept his party’s nomination for President of the United States.

If there was any remaining question of his revolutionary greatness, scattered around the nation are tri-color campaign posters of Mr. Obama, bearing a striking resemblance to the larger than life representations of Lenin, Marx, and Engels used by soviet propagandists in the glory days of Mother Russia. These communist styled knock-offs featuring Mr. Obama staring nobly – if melodramatically – into the distance and emblazoned with one-word utopian mantras such as “Change,” “Progress,” or “Hope,” were designed by Shepard Fairey whose obsession with communist propaganda overflows in his “OBEY” brand website which brandishes a Cyrillic-styled banner that reads “Propaganda Engineering” and boasts the company motto “Manufacturing Quality Dissent Since 1989.”

The nod to Chomsky notwithstanding, Fairey, like any good propagandist, denies the obvious message of the Obama campaign posters. He claims the art is “patriotic” and prefers to let it speak for itself as it joins his growing portfolio of romanticized communist plagiarisms of such other “patriotic” works as Demitry Moor’s famous 1920 Soviet Red Army recruitment poster Have You Volunteered?, Vladimir Kozlinsky’s 1919 poster Meeting, and the 1968 Chinese Proletarian Cultural Revolution poster Political Power Comes from the Barrel of a Gun. Least the fascists feel slighted, Fairey also produced an exact copy of the Nazi Gestapo “death’s head” logo which he placed on t-shirts and rebranded as a part of his OBEY clothing line.

Whatever else may be said, Mr. Obama’s personality cult campaign has been an unmitigated success, creating, almost ex nihilo, a “beloved leader” out of a largely inexperienced and unknown man, void of business, executive, and foreign policy credentials. This fact alone is cause for substantial concern, but, unfortunately for the American people, what has been true of the form of the Obama campaign is now materializing in its function as individuals cloaked in the appearance of state authority seek to silence dissent and indoctrinate the masses.

The largest portion of the media has progressed in its leftist agenda so overtly in the current presidential race that we are hardly surprised when television news “anchors” swoon at the very mention of Barak Obama while taking every opportunity to belittle Governor Sara Palin, feigning objectivity and savoring superiority all the while. Such private sector propaganda is so common it is almost passé. What is far more troubling is when individuals holding powerful and intimidating public posts – police officers and prosecutors, individuals who, by the very power of their offices, can strip citizens of their liberty – use their positions to intimidate anyone who dares speak against Mr. Obama. When Missouri prosecutor Bob McCulloch takes to the air waives, placing the public on notice that he is a member of Mr. Obama’s “truth squad” and that he and other Missouri prosecutors and law enforcement officials plan to “respond immediately” to any critical speech concerning Mr. Obama that “might violate Missouri ethics laws,” the message, with all of its implications, is crystal clear – “speak out against our beloved leader and all the fury of the state will fall on you.” Mr. McCulloch has since claimed that he was speaking only in his personal capacity – a strange assertion considering that he has no personal capacity to “respond . . .[to] violat[ions] of Missouri ethics laws.” Perhaps Mr. McCulloch and the other members of Mr. Obama’s political police could have clarified their role by exchanging their very official looking lawyer’s suits for a selection of Fairey’s Gestapo t-shirts.

The shocking willingness of the Obama campaign to begin using state power, or at least the appearance of state power, to censor dissent even before Mr. Obama holds the actual power he seeks is doubly troubling when combined with actions of other individuals who use their taxpayer funded positions of power to indoctrinate “the masses” in favor of Mr. Obama and against anyone who opposes him. Only weeks ago, Janna Barber had the courage to expose what is apparently all too common in public universities – professors who are paid with taxpayer funds, using their positions of considerable power and influence to force feed pro-Obama political dogma to their students. Professor Andrew Hallam of Metropolitan State College of Denver, did for the classroom what Shepard Fairey did for political posters. In true Nazi-Reichsführer-school-meets-Communist-Reeducation-Camp style, Hallam brought rabid party fanaticism and inexcusable psychological abuse to bear on his class, demanding that his English students write a searing anti-Palin position paper, requiring the Republican students to self-identify, and then allowing if not encouraging the enlightened, open-minded, diverse, accepting, and politically correct Democratic students to verbally berate and abuse the handful of Republicans with language that would have made Stalin blush.

Whether it is Kent Higgins, a Chaplin at the University of Massachusetts, attempting to use official University action to directly build Obama’s workforce by providing college credit for Obama campaigners, or PBS ensuring that an open ardent Obama supporter whose own success as an author is dependent on Obama’s victory, moderates the Vice Presidential debates, or Virginia public school teachers coordinating an “Obama Blue [shirt] Day” campaign to indoctrinate the young children they have so much influence over with the conviction that Barak Obama is every authority figure’s leader of choice (Obama Jugend?), or Obama’s throngs of attorneys threatening with litigation broadcasters that air unapproved messages, the actions taken together amount to a “forced coordination” – what the Nazis referred to as Gleichschaltung.

If this is the result of an Obama presidential campaign, one can only shudder to think of the impact of an Obama administration. These are not the ways of a free people. They are the ways of those who do by brute force what they can not do by the force of their ideas. Attempts at tyranny have historically struck a sour note in the collective soul of Americans. There is something written on our hearts that says it is wrong to take property that does not belong to you even if you take it for a “good cause;” it is wrong to kill the innocent even if their existence is inconvenient for you; it is wrong to win a contest by intimidating the judges; and it is the honor of the strong to secure justice for the weak. This may be the most important election in recent American history, and we owe it to ourselves and our children to choose leaders who will not tolerate tyranny much less partake in it.

V is obviously an idiot troll blogging for Obama at about a dollar a day. Everything I said is true and documented. As for the BS birth certificate ROFLMAO. You complete utter MORONS can never answer the question why Obama won’t SHOW HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO THE JUDGE IN THE LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL COURT. No worries, he WILL have to show it. And you brainless idiots who know nothing about America and the CONSTITUTION will wet your pampers when you find out how wrong and stupid you are. Boy do the trolls just get old. Can’t you people get REAL jobs? Trust me, blogging for Obama is NOT a real job. ROFLMAO.

I concur. But suppose the impossible happens, can he be fired retroactively if he cannot prove his eligibility?

 

Comment by V | 2008-10-08 13:31:06

Because I dissent, any comment in which I use the words “idiot” or “moron” would be swiftly deleted, on grounds that it was name-calling and not constructive argument. Since you are in agreement with the proprietors’ views, your statements, though offensive and ad hominem, are apparently allowed to stand. Or are they?

A test of the proprietors: do you delete because of dissent, or because of offensive language in a comment? Or are a combination of the two required?

Even if the latter is the case, you should stop saying that you welcome opposing views.

You do not, in any case.

The NRA has an ad on the Drudge Report entitled
“Don’t let Biden and Obama take our guns”
also

“The ad Obama doesn’t want you to see” It also said Obama tried to stop it from running.

Glad to see them out there hitting.

It is a small rotating ad on the middle left.

=============================================

Of course it’s Hitler’s brownshirts all over again. I had a great article about from Obama WTF that I can try to find. But, yeah, Obama has mentioned repeatedly his “civilian military.” This is getting more and more like a really bad Hitler nightmare. God please save us from this disturbed dictator.

did anyone notice that obamas new healthcare plan sounds exactly like hillarys now? he constantly steals her ideas and takes credit for it. he is such a weasel. all of his ideas have come from other people. (wright, ayers, pfleggler, auchi, etc. etc.) not an original thought of his own. he is just a puppet reapeating others ideas. if hillary had been given the nomination she actually won and deserved this race would look more like clinton 75 mccain 25.

The amount of “dirt” on Obama is STAGGERING! The guy is TREACHEROUS! Lincoln was right with his statement about fooling people. But WTF is the deal with Obama?! Again, it’ll be too late … didn’t we learn from Bush?

I’ll be glad when it’s over. I’ve been sick about this well-planned Obama coup since it became apparent the DNC’s mission was to f-ck over Hillary (along with GOP help). I’m sick of being called an effin’ racist by third-generation welfare shit. It happened again last night in front of my kids (”Country First” sticker on my car). What awaits Prez O, good or bad, will be brought upon himself. F-ck Obama. We will survive 4 more years of horrendous leadership. O won’t last any longer than that.

Thank you, I’m done venting. For those who missed this great series on the Comrade: http://www.ibdeditorials.com/series8.aspx

Wow, you sound like you’re getting off on this. I’ll try to keep the arousal alive:

Unbelievably, Obama served on the Board of Directors of the CAC with a number of other radical Ayers henchmen– is your genitalia suitably aroused now?

Some fun, huh? Sorry, here’s the cold water:

The board consists almost entirely of local staid republlcans.

You could look it up, ya dope.
