Lynn Forester de Rothschild on Cavuto

Obama bombed tonight but the media is worming and saying he did great. Still, not even the NYT can give him too much praise, noting that he looked weak.

Graph showing Bush’s disapproval rating

I’m thinking Monday the 527’s begin big time. I, too, want to see the b/c issue out front. However, Mac and Sarah have to keep hitting the socialist government Barry wants to foist on us and leave the exposure issues to the helpers.

Love Sarah on the tube in NH. She’s so great. Negativity? Just telling the truth about his record and associations.

I don’t want to hear anything from FOX, I don’t know what happened to them tonight but they way they were all gushing after OBama at the end of the debate was disgusting.

I personally did not think McCain did badly, and I sure as hell did not think Obama won this debate or as some were saying on the FOX debate panel that Obama won this one.

Maybe FOX is trying to make up to Obama because he sure has been calling them out lately so now FOX wants to give a little, I expected a bit more from FOX it was sure disappointing

I REALLY wish that McCain would have said this when Obama tried to change the subject of the associations to how Americans didn’t want to hear about this and only economy: “My fellow Americans, Senator Obama and media constantly try to smash in your head that you want to talk about issues and economy and not about associations. Make no mistake, I understand that the issue hurting most is the economy. I understand that Americans are concerned about their jobs. But in order to fix the economy, the American people need to be able to trust the person they elect. THey need to know what he thinks and who he associates with. And Senator Obama’s association speaks to his judgment. When deciding on who we need to fix the economy, it is absolutely essential to know the candidates’ judgment, something that Senator Obama tries to deflect by pandering to you.

OT,My wife Just said “why are they making Obama a national hero ? He hasn’t done anything!”

Lady de Rothschild is simply wonderful. Smart, articulate, thoughtful, persuasive and charming. Neil sure seems to like her and she is 100% right on everything she spoke about.

now that the debates are over, i wonder if we will finally see the missiles the GOP is holding back (supposedly). I hope so. I have developed such admiration for McCain that I like him almost as much or more than I liked Hillary. For some reason, my heart tells me that the past month and up till now in October, everything has been too perfect for Obama. He has nowhere to go but down. Gallup and the IBD poll had Obama up by only three. I’m just scared that while the national poll may tighten, the battleground states are not tightening that much. We shall see what happens. I hope that “tape” is out there - we need something to change the media narrative FAST

OT-Ohio’s former Secretary of State just had a discussion with Greta explaining where the case stands regarding the questionable voter registrations in Ohio stand.

He requested we all go to Defend My Vote and sign the petition, please.

I just want to take this moment to show my respect for all the strong women that work harder than us guys.
I try everyday to show how much I care..

if you want to do something, contribute to these ad buys…linking bo to nixon and asking “would you buy a used car from this man?” i think it’s a great link and have been saying for quite some time that bo reminded me of nixon..paranoid, controlling, and dangerous to american institutions.

I don’t think anyone would not say McCain did better in this debate than he did in all others, so I still don’t understand where that FOX debate panel was coming from tonight.

Even if they wanted to give Obama the win ok I will go with that nonsense but to make McCain look as if he was totally off his game, not even aware of what of going in it crap, FOX is either letting Obama get to them with all his talk that FOX has him doing poorly in the polls, or FOX is running after some Obama dollars and don’t want to be left out of the money game

Great videos !! Thanks for posting SusanUnPC.
Love Lynn Forester de Rothschild; very smart Lady indeed.

If obama wins…watch for wage and price controls.

Obama’s health plan wrongly assumes wage and price controls will work

The underlying assumption behind Sen. Barack Obama’s health insurance plan is that the government can put caps on the wages paid health care workers, the prices charged by providers and the premiums charged by insurers. The biggest disconnect in his very broad plan is that he can give patients unlimited access to greater benefits and “make health care affordable.”

Simply put, the senator, like Clinton, is promising to do the impossible, and he and his campaign know it.

Thanks Guys for your analyses.. Right after that sonofabitch started grinning I had to shut ‘er down…

Lynn made some very strong points with regard to Obama increasing the “welfare system”. Very strong. I like Lynn. She’s right, too with regard to McCain making a clear cut point against Obama with regard to Joe the Plumber and how Obama’s policies will harm our economy, much like the “Hoover”.

Perhaps the best news for McCain is the rating he received from independent voters. Among respondents not identified with either major political party, McCain was judged tonight’s winner, 51-42 percent.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14618.html

He went on offense and painted obama as a socialist. He used Joe the plimber to perfection. Trust McCain. If his camp was doing bad would Palin have spent today stumping in NH? Tomorrow in Maine?

Would obama and biden be in PA every other day if it was a lock? Biden spends every other day in Scranton it seems.

Palin did a rally in scranton hours after Biden,Bill and Hill and she got a bigger turnout than them. Look at where the campaign is going.

If Florida was a mess they would be there alot. Same with Ohio.

Mccain/Palin are working to pick off states that were thought to be firmly obama including Wisconsin and Minnesota. Read between the lines and stop believing what the media says.

It is a relief to read the things that are written here… if there were only the media to base my opinions against, I would go insane. The mainstream media is definitely ‘in it’ for Obama. I do not understand it… how is this happening?

The MSM was trying to tare down Nixon as well and he still got elected President twice. So don’t listen to them. There is a silent majority that will elect McCain. It is just that simple.

Tonight’s debate:

MCCAIN: Now, Senator Obama, I’d like — still like to know what that fine is going to be, and I don’t think that Joe right now wants to pay a fine when he is seeing such difficult times in America’s economy.

Senator Obama wants to set up health care bureaucracies, take over the health care of America through — as he said, his object is a single payer system.

If you like that, you’ll love Canada and England. So the point is…

SCHIEFFER: So that’s your objective?

OBAMA: It is not and I didn’t describe it…

MCCAIN: No, you stated it.

OBAMA: I just…

MCCAIN: Excuse me.

OBAMA: I just described what my plan is. And I’m happy to talk to you, Joe, too, if you’re out there. Here’s your fine — zero. You won’t pay a fine, because…

MCCAIN: Zero?

OBAMA: Zero, because as I said in our last debate and I’ll repeat, John, I exempt small businesses from the requirement for large businesses that can afford to provide health care to their employees, but are not doing it.

I exempt small businesses from having to pay into a kitty. But large businesses that can afford it, we’ve got a choice. Either they provide health insurance to their employees or somebody has to.

Right now, what happens is those employees get dumped into either the Medicaid system, which taxpayers pick up, or they’re going to the emergency room for uncompensated care, which everybody picks up in their premiums.

The average family is paying an additional $900 a year in higher premiums because of the uninsured.

So here’s what we do. We exempt small businesses. In fact, what, Joe, if you want to do the right thing with your employees and you want to provide them health insurance, we’ll give you a 50 percent credit so that you will actually be able to afford it.

If you don’t have health insurance or you want to buy into a group plan, you will be able to buy into the plan that I just described.

Now, what we haven’t talked about is Senator McCain’s plan. He says he’s going to give you all a $5,000 tax credit.

That sounds pretty good. And you can go out and buy your own insurance.

Here’s the problem — that for about 20 million people, you may find yourselves no longer having employer-based health insurance.

This is because younger people might be able to get health insurancefor $5,000, young and healthy folks.
Older folks, let’s healthy folks, what’s going to end up happening is that you’re going to be the only ones left in your employer-based system, your employers won’t be able to afford it.

And once you’re out on your own with this $5,000 credit, Senator McCain, for the first time, is going to be taxing the health carebenefits that you have from your employer.

And this is your plan, John. For the first time in history, you will be taxing people’s health care benefits.

By the way, the average policy costs about $12,000. So if you’ve got $5,000 and it’s going to cost you $12,000, that’s a loss for you.

Last point about Senator McCain’s plan is that insurers right now, the main restrictions on what they do is primarily state law and, under Senator McCain’s plan, those rules would be stripped away and you would start seeing a lot more insurance companies cherry-picking and excluding people from coverage. That, I think, is a mistake and I think that this is a fundamental difference in our campaign and how we would approach health care.

So, McCain confronts Obama on a fine people would have to pay if they fall behind in (or fail to make) the premium payments.

I recall discussions about this in the debates with Hillary.

But, Obama denied people would have to pay the fines and says “as I said in our last debate… .”

So, let’s see what Obama said in the last debate about health care premiums, or more specifically, who is exempt from the penalties for not making the payments on time:

October 7, 2008 debate:

Brokaw: Quick discussion. Is health care in America a privilege, a right, or a responsibility?

Sen. McCain?

McCain: I think it’s a responsibility, in this respect, in that we should have available and affordable health care to every American citizen, to every family member. And with the plan that — that I have, that will do that.

But government mandates I — I’m always a little nervous about. But it is certainly my responsibility. It is certainly small-business people and others, and they understand that responsibility. American citizens understand that. Employers understand that.

But they certainly are a little nervous when Sen. Obama says, if you don’t get the health care policy that I think you should have, then you’re going to get fined. And, by the way, Sen. Obama has never mentioned how much that fine might be. Perhaps we might find that out tonight.

Obama: Well, why don’t — why don’t — let’s talk about this, Tom, because there was just a lot of stuff out there.

Brokaw: Privilege, right or responsibility. Let’s start with that.

Obama: Well, I think it should be a right for every American. In a country as wealthy as ours, for us to have people who are going bankrupt because they can’t pay their medical bills — for my mother to die of cancer at the age of 53 and have to spend the last months of her life in the hospital room arguing with insurance companies because they’re saying that this may be a pre-existing condition and they don’t have to pay her treatment, there’s something fundamentally wrong about that.

So let me — let me just talk about this fundamental difference. And, Tom, I know that we’re under time constraints, but Sen. McCain through a lot of stuff out there.

Number one, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor. There’s no mandate involved.

Small businesses are not going to have a mandate. What we’re going to give you is a 50 percent tax credit to help provide health care for those that you need.

Now, it’s true that I say that you are going to have to make sure that your child has health care, because children are relatively cheap to insure and we don’t want them going to the emergency room for treatable illnesses like asthma.

And when Sen. McCain says that he wants to provide children health care, what he doesn’t mention is he voted against the expansion of the Children’s Health Insurance Program that is responsible for making sure that so many children who didn’t have previously health insurance have it now.

Now, the final point I’ll make on this whole issue of government intrusion and mandates — it is absolutely true that I think it is important for government to crack down on insurance companies that are cheating their customers, that don’t give you the fine print, so you end up thinking that you’re paying for something and, when you finally get sick and you need it, you’re not getting it.

And the reason that it’s a problem to go shopping state by state, you know what insurance companies will do? They will find a state — maybe Arizona, maybe another state — where there are no requirements for you to get cancer screenings, where there are no requirements for you to have to get pre-existing conditions, and they will all set up shop there.

That’s how in banking it works. Everybody goes to Delaware, because they’ve got very — pretty loose laws when it comes to things like credit cards.

And in that situation, what happens is, is that the protections you have, the consumer protections that you need, you’re not going to have available to you.

That is a fundamental difference that I have with Sen. McCain. He believes in deregulation in every circumstance. That’s what we’ve been going through for the last eight years. It hasn’t worked, and we need fundamental change.

Brokaw: Sen., we want to move on now. If we’d come back to the hall here, we’re going to shift gears here a little bit and we’re going to go to foreign policy and international matters, if we can…

McCain: I don’t believe that — did we hear the size of the fine?

Obama is a classic manipulator. He completely dissembled and never answered McCain’s question about how much the penalty would be in the October 7th debate, and then tonight he stated he answered the question in the last (October 7th) debate.

Classic lying manipulator.

Senator Government is what was the highlight for me.
I will never call him Obama again. Senator Government and his Obamunist hordes will be defeated.
We will not let the gang of 3(Sen.Government,Pelosi, and Reid) destroy our republic.

I am an american and i choose to fight. I will fight to help McCain win this until it is over. No more whining and complaining from you guys. Man up and lets ride this to victory over Senator Government.
NO OBAMANATION.

That was a classic: Senator Government, indeed!

“Joe the Plumber” Talks with NBC 24 News

By Ryan Fowler
Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 1:59 a.m.

His named was mentioned more than 20-times during the final presidential debate on Wednesday…“Joe the Plumber” of Holland, Ohio. He’s a single father who describes himself simply as average.

Joe Wurzelbacher spoke with Senator Barack Obama during a campaign stop in Toledo Sunday. Wurzelbacher told the Illinois Senator his (Obama’s) tax plan would prevent him (Joe) from buying the business that currently employs him.

During Wednesday’s debate Senator John McCain used “Joe the Plumber” as an example of how small business owners would suffered under Obama. In the matter of a 90-minute debate, “Joe the Plumber” became an overnight sensation that will forever be linked to the 2008 presidential race.

NBC 24’s Ryan Fowler spoke one-on-one with “Joe the Plumber” shortly after the debate wrapped.

Reaction to hearing his name mentioned during the debate: “I was astounded to hear my name on national television spoken by a presidential candidate. I mean it floored me,” Joe Wurzelbacher.

Being an “average Joe”: “I get up every morning at 4:30 and I go to work. I don’t get home until 6 or 7. I cook dinner. I do homework with my son. I do yard work on the weekend. That’s a typical day and I live in a typical middle class neighborhood. I’m pretty much just average. I like to live a simple life,” Joe Wurzelbacher.

On all the attention he’s gotten since the debate wrapped: “I’ll have my 15-minutes. Come November 4th, depending on who wins, if McCain wins I might have another day or two out of it. If Obama wins then I’ll be a footnote maybe at the most I won’t be recognized again and that will be fine with me,” Wurzelbacher.

Reaction to talking with Obama about his proposed tax plan: “I wasn’t impressed. In fact, it upset me. For someone to sit there and say you’ve done too good, and I’m going to penalize you now. In essence that’s what he said. I’m paraphrasing, but you done too good; I want some more of your money now. That’s wrong. That’s wrong across the board and I can’t imagine someone not agreeing with that. I can’t imagine America not agreeing with that,” Wurzelbacher.

His advice to other voters: “Do your own homework. Don’t sit there and take your friends’ advice. Don’t sit there and take TV’s advice. Do your own homework. Find out what you really want instead of what your union steward wants, what anyone wants. That’s my biggest thing right there. Do your own homework,” Wurzelbacher.

Although it seems Wurzelbacher supports McCain, he refuses to say who he plans to vote for come November 4th.

Country First!!

McCain-Palin ‘08

It is well established to anyone with even a moderately functional brain that the 95% tax cut is welfare simply disguised by semantic slight of hand. However, if this so called tax cut is meant to repeat year after year, at a trillion $’s a year, then it seems less like welfare, and more like reparations. The AA community will finally get thier windfall through the back door.

I’m I the only one who thinks Neil Cavuto is in Love with Lady Lynne?

These young people at the colleges? The liberals? Will be eating crow soon! I can’t wait!

BREAKING: Snotty rich woman supports McCain!

Says “I can move to my other home country if he destroys our economy like Bushites”

Details at 11!

Did you notice during the debate analysis, that the 4 voters betrayed themselves as Obamabots at the end. The one said “guilt by association doesn’t matter,” and the woman who got very very angry. Their anger and talking points gave them away.

http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=1555

Does Barack Obama own an unreported home in Fallon, Nevada, rumor was sent in to the above link, listed under the name Stanley A. Dunham.

Oboe…Our outrage is most definitely not phony. By the way, why is it your side is so nasty with the name calling? (Snotty rich women, Sarah Palin is a **** t-shirts…the list is endless) Hatred destroys the soul my friend.

Oboe is a racist who wants to vote a black man just because of color and uses intimidation tactics like the fool BO.

Got to get some rest now folks so I can get to work in the morning and find some more clients for my small business. Have to make up the difference just in case Senator Government is elected and takes more of my $$$ and give it to Oboe.

Did anyone catch what Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild said when Neal Cavuto asked her what she thought about Hillary supporting Obama after all that happened? She said something like…if Obama is elected she and Bill have a lot of explaining to do. She GETS it!
One thing that really bothers me. Hillary told the truth about Obama during the primaries and now she’s totally reversed herself. How can she do that? I thought she was more honest than that. Even Bill has a lot of trouble sounding enthusiastic about Obama. I wonder what Hillary was promised? Were we all duped about her? Is she just another lying politician?

It’s Obama’s smirks that drive me nuts, at really inappropriate or strange times during the debate. And then there is a staring fierceness into the camera which I saw during the first debate that gave me the willies. When he switches off the charm button, we can often see this and it is quite frigtening.

Great piece. And she well stated an important issue on economics, short and sweet. Thank you.

I had planned to skip the debate, but relented, even though the very sight of the “O” gives me indigestion.
McCain did really well, in my opinion, which is the only one that determines MY vote!
John got in the ACORN issue, and the money to said group.
He scored on the Ayers connection, that is not ancient history.
He hit the “redistibution of wealth” and the plumber over the fence.
He laid out the live-birth issue.
His health care plan should resonate with voters, for he CLEARLY stated the AVERAGE fees nationwide.
He took on the race issue by mentioning the comments of Lewis.
All in all, he compressed a lot into his time allotment…if anyone actually LISTENED!

This host is annoying as hell. He continually interrupts someone smarter and more interesting than he is in the middle of something interesting.
