The Brainy Governor of New York Can’t Name Any Obama Accomplishments
By SusanUnPC on October 16, 2008 at 10:00 PM in Barack Obama, Qualifications
Can anyone provide a list of substantive accomplishments that Barack Obama can claim, besides winning office and going to college? The one executive job Obama had — when Bill Ayers hired him to chair the $50 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge — meant that he had to carry out Bill Ayers’ radical school reform initiatives, at which he was a miserable failure since the entire project was a failure.
Then there’s the one chairmanship that Obama was given in the U.S. Senate, as subchair of the European Affairs Subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee, which represents another Obama failure. Actually, Obama should be charged with “dereliction of duty” because he never held a single hearing (even though the committee oversees NATO operations, including the war in Afghanistan that Obama is fond of bringing up) nor did he ever travel through Europe or to NATO headquarters. In a primary debate, Obama confessed that he had been too busy “running for President” to take care of the important committee’s oversight of essential national security and foreign relations matters. (It is also worth noting that, had Obama done his job on that committee, he would have learned key information and built vital international relationships to help him become a better president.)
Now there’s this:
From the transcript:
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: “We’ve watched John McCain over the years do things like Patients’ Bill of Rights, the McCain-Feingold reform bill. A number of cases where he has been able to reach across the aisle and get things done, even with Kennedy and Edwards and people like that, Feingold, people like that on the Democratic side. Can you give me a case where Barack Obama has reached across the aisle and cut a deal and gotten something done for the country? One example.”
Governor David Paterson: “Well, Senator Obama has been there two years and I can’t cite an example right now. But I know that did he collaborate with one of Republican senators on one of the issues. I just can’t name it off the top — ”
Matthews: “But the problem is you’re basing his success on a lack of achievement aren’t you? You’re saying he’s going to succeed and you can’t name a success.” …

michelle obama tape…breaking news
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=78259
Wow.
Tread carefully. The claim of the conversation existing is not proven by a claim of a recording. People have been duped before and end up chasing their own tails for nothing.
Here’s the API article (link below). They claim to have a tape of the conversation just awaiting legal clearance to publish.
Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.
Posted by africanpress on October 15, 2008
Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.
When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”
This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.
The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.
When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.
When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.
On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.
Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.

Tread carefully.. The claim of the conversation existing is not proven by a claim of a recording. People have been duped before and end up chasing their own tails for nothing.
Wow – they had Dr. Corsi arrested!
I emailed this story to Hannity.
I wouldn’t trust any story from that right wing crap website but I wish it were true. The idea of that [DELETED] in the white house makes me want to
slit my wrists.[DELETED]
this is the 2nd time Mathews has stumped an O supporter with this question.
Yet, he is still ready to make man-love with obama anytime he speaks.
Somebody should post this Patterson inverview side by side with the other interview Mattews did w/ Stephanie Tubbs Jones and the Obama supporter who couln’t name one accomplishment. Hilarious (but scary)!
viral-ize this, please. it could be big.

That one is going REALLY REALLY HOT NOW. I was there a while back; 200-300 hits. It’s close to 10,000 now and are people ever pissed! See the comments!
I heard this today and wondered why on earth Obama would insult people who make their living as plumbers or any other “working class” occupation. On the flip side, doesn’t Obama know how much master plumbers charge to come on over and fix that leaky pipe? Either way you slice it — an insult to the working class — or, ignorance about the wages of a really good plumber — Obama is really out of touch.
This guy — 0man — just doesn’t like too many Americans, does he?
It’s pretty obvious that Obama doesn’t know much about working class Americans. He mocks Joe the plumber, just because he called it like he sees it (spreading the wealth is socialism = communism). But it’s also being said by Mike the mechanic, Ernie the electrician, Harry the housebuilder or any of the hundreds of thousands of small business people that make up Americas infrastructure.
GET OUT AND VOTE FOR McCAIN. DON’T LET THIS IDIOT RUN AMERICA WITH HIS COMMIE FRIENDS (unless you like living in a third world style country).

OMG. It’s just what those people we didn’t really believe said all along. You all remember the secret document that was leaked??
I think tweetie boy can see the writing on the wall.
He backed the wrong horse and he knows now that the momentum has switched to McCain.
The crowd roared the most when McCain mentioned the bias of Msnbo
I completely agree. I think we’ll be seeing more defections as the days drag on–stuble defections, but defections nonetheless.
Axelrod must have forgotten to change the batteries on Matthews’ leg tingler.
OMW! ROFL! I wonder how often that leg tingler makes Matthews piss himself involuntarily! Suppose he keeps extra duds handy?

What does Obama have against plumbers. It’s pretty sad when a Presidential candidate openly mocks a profession, and the crowd laughs along. If that were said by any candidate that I supported, my support would have ended at that moment.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before. This ‘person’ is spewing hate. He is ridiculing this ‘plumber’. He is talking about a voter behind his back. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a brash and arrogant and hateful person before.
What is wrong with him? He can never seem to resist the urge to ridicule and mock others in a most offensive manner.
Brushing off shoulders
Giving the finger
99 problems but a B ain’t one
Addicted to love
Lipstick on a pig
Bitter bible gun clingers
His condescending smirk and sneer
A plumber!?!( the very middle class worker facing debt he claims to care so much about)
Some public servant. Those who follow him don’t seem to connect that he views them the same way.
There is no one above his contempt.
Obama’s a little baby, a malignant narcissist who’s enraged whenever his wishes are frustrated. He’s unfit for any kind of responsibility, let alone the WH.
Please, let’s frustrate him on Nov. 4th.
Don’t pick a baby to do a man’s job.
Ya! I used to make my living as a repair plumber! Damn noble profession, & a helluva lot more honest than politics!!!
Its a wonderful thing to be able to provide hot, running water to a child that never had it before, or a flushing toilet! Yes, plumbers get to perform little miracles like that!

Those remarks should be sufficient to tank Oblahblah’s bid for the presidency. I don’t know how with so many damaging remarks this man is capable of having so many remain as his supporters.
I say contact all the plumbers unions and show them this video….Lets start, Plumbers against Obama!
Wait … there’s another Joe the Plumber. It’s the start of a movement.
They really did it this time. I think this speech was a knee jerk reaction. They never expected Joe to come out of no where and put a face on who will be taxed. My brother is in the same situation and he does gross more then 250K. He provides jobs for more then 10 people. He called me this morning upset about the tax. There is not way Obama can turn this around. They more they attack Joe the more people will back him. People don’t like someone like them being treated unfairly.
yeah that was funny. THe crowd gave obama a boo when he made fun of AIG going under. Which i am not quite sure how the failing of a major bank is humorous. Only to a Marxist i suppose.
But, Mac went on the attack and if i was his campaign i would give him some funny bits in his stump speech.
The cracks on ACORN were to funny. He roasted Obama and then made all of those remarks about raising expectations and Obama gave the dumbest speech that was supposed to be funny i ever heard. He called congress scumbags and lowlifes. Made the tina fey joke about russia. Said he punched someone in the face.
It was terrible, then at the end he launched into a unite the world stump speech. He looked bad going after Mac and at first i was a bit sore McCain had to go first.
The crack he made about Mathews getting a tingle in his leg, then McCain said ” I told him Maverick i can do. But messiah is above my pay-grade.”
Then he cracked a joke that oprah called him the one,”and being a colleague and friend of Barracks, i simply called him that one.”
We need video of this and everyone needs to send it around. This McCain can win over EVERY undecided.
He made a real disgusting joke about lipstick. This man is as unrepentant as Ayers is. This man has zero character.
Every time he jokes about lipstick or bring it forward he confirms that he said those remarks referring to Palin. But people don’t want to confront this man. I don’t understand it.
Lark,
They will confront him — at the voting booth.
I sincerely hope that’s what happens or on Nov 5th. I will spend a good time crying and I haven’t cried in a good long time now.
Yep, Joe the plumber should give him a swirly.
I expect the tape will be our soon from John McCains speech tonight…
It hits every level of that one!

You know after all this time, you’d think Obama supporters would have a canned answer to:
“Can you give me a case where Barack Obama has reached across the aisle and cut a deal and gotten something done for the country? One example.”
Instead of “uh, uh, uh, I can’t really give you that info now. Or wait, there was one time, I think. Uh, uh, uh.”
This same question was posed during the primaries, a dual interview with the late Stphanie Tubbs Jones and a SD from Texas. The Superdelegate went into the same “uh, uh” moment.
Why?
Because the slate is blank, the accomplishments nonexistent.
Wake up, America! Sometimes words are “just” words.
This is a very interesting article.

Absolutely brilliant. What a riot!
That’s funny.
Just words. Just speeches.
Now when they are asked for SOME THING HE HAS DONE OR ACCOMPLISHED, they concede, he’s only been there 2 years before running for Senate.
DOH!
Looks like the Oborgbot trolls are in full panic mode all over the net as they lash out wildly. I hope they have parachutes as they follow The Precious over the cliff into oblivion. Do they really think they can bully and intimidate their way to a win? Mac is gonna kick Opampers scrawny ass back to Chicago to his Rezko mansion.
Oh man! Opampers is in deep shit? Bloggers who have done research may wish to contact the FBI.
For Immediate Release
October 16, 2008 Contact:
Statement On ACORN Investigation
ARLINGTON, VA — Today, McCain-Palin 2008 campaign manager Rick Davis released the following statement in response to the FBI’s investigation of ACORN:
“Given the fact the FBI has launched a nationwide investigation into the questionable voter registration practices of ACORN, it is imperative that Barack Obama’s campaign cooperate fully with this important investigation. To date, in public announcements including last night’s debate, Barack Obama has attempted to conceal and distort his and his campaign’s relationship with a group that is currently engaging in systematic voter fraud. Barack Obama’s campaign must fully disclose the true nature of his association with ACORN, including:
The total disclosure of all funds, including $832,000 from Barack Obama’s campaign to ACORN and ACORN affiliations like Citizens Services, Inc.
Any and all information the Obama campaign has related to ACORN’s database of registered voters compiled during this election cycle.
The total disclosure of coordination between Barack Obama’s campaign, ACORN, and ACORN affiliations over the entirety of this election cycle.
The truth behind ACORN’s hiring of get-out-the-vote workers on Barack Obama’s behalf in Ohio during this election cycle.
“In the spirit of a fair election Barack Obama should assist in this process prior to Election Day.”
I can’t wait for the media to cover this tomorrow!
….Oh,…wait…nevermind.
At some point they will have to. With all the attacks on The Precious a chink in his armor will open up. He is trying to coast to victory. That worked against Hillary because of the crooked DNC/RBC, caucus shenanigans and chicken shit delegates. No such advantage in the GE. Mac won’t let him coast anywhere except packing home to Rezko manor.
NQ isn’t being fair to Obama. He does so have an accomplishment. He made arugula a household word. Oh, wait. And he managed the fraudulent take-over of a primary election and a political party. Geez. Give the guy some credit.
I have to agree. I’ve never seen someone do so much with so little talent or experience.
You mean besides Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie? (I even threw in a reasonably non-talented AA who’s only noteworthy because of her dad.)
Everyone, please, distribute the video of JMc’s appearance at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. Of all the significant truisms in his remarks couched as political roast, the best line was this.
“We all know that Senator Obama is ready for any contingency. Even the possibility of a sudden and dramatic market rebound. I’m told that at the first sign of recovery he will suspend his campaign and fly immediately to Washington to address this crisis.”
Biting humor for which he is famous.
The joke about Obama flying back to DC at the first sign of the economy improving was subtle enough that many average American voters may not “get” it, alas. Not everyone’s made the connection between the economy and Barack’s chances.
Sorry, forgot to re-post the link.

Obama is a Manchurian Candidate. His accomplishments are nil same as his credibility. What I would like to see is for the McCain campaign to run an add contrasting Obama’s friend Bill Ayers with John McCain in the context of what Ayers was doing in the 60s while McCain was being tortured for his country inside a POW camp. The ad should show them side by side. Even the photo of Ayers stomping on the American flag next to a snapshot of McCain as a POW would be a stunning visual. I believe such an ad would turn this election around.

A vote for Obama is a vote for the far left, who will thus be energized and inspired and empowered.
We are talking about THIS kind of mindset:

FRANCE :
Quelle horreur ce n’est pas l’Amérique que j’aime tant !
On dirait l’enfer peuplé de ses démons !
A couple of months ago, I asked a friend who is a rabid Obama supporter exactly what Senator Obama’s accomplishments were. He cited “wrote two books, elected IL state senator, organizer, taught law, U.S. senator and ran a presidential campaign”.
And which of those were actually accomplishments?
None of them. Those are personal achievements, not accomplishments.
These were all things he did for himself.
I gave my friend an example of something that would be an accomplishment…
“While organizing poor people in Chicago, Senator Obama made the streets safe by reducing crime by 50% and now young men help little old ladies cross the street.”
or this…
“While U.S. senator, he wrote legislation that saved taxpayers $20 billion per year.”
So what exactly are they?
Oh, I see.
Yeah – my friend knows I’m jumping over to the R-side of the ticket.
She’s too afraid to not vote Democratic.
So she says to me — “But what are John McCain’s Policies? What has John McCain done??”
I say: “Well, you’re voting for Obama. You tell me what are his policies? What has he done?”
She stammered and said, “Um… I don;t know. He’s a democrat right?”
I changed the subject – I hate to have this kill our friendship.
ve a hunch hillary is going to be nominee , and i am sorry if that happens mccain palin suporters i will vote for hillary biden ticket, other wise i will stick with mccain
If you go to fight the smears you’ll find one accomplished lie after another. What more could you want from someone running for POTUS?
I seem to remember Obama said he was going to make sure everyone would get the chance to go to trade school if he was elected…..
We see here how he flip flops on every issue.
The teacher the plumber the waitress working 2 jobs the fireman and the city worker Obama will pull the rug from under you all and mock YOU!!
he forgets it’s some of these people that put 1/2 a billion dollars in his bank which he’s spent the last 20months squandering!!
Johnny & Sarah will stand by everyone above
Johnny & Sara all the way!
JO JOHN & take Joe with u….right to the top.
What a job for Joe he will be employed trained and licensed to do the work in the WHITEHOW once John takes office!!
Lets all remember to email John McCain to make sure he takes care of Joe after 20th Jan 2009!
“Whitehouse”
“winning office”
what office? thanks to his shenanigans he ran unopposed if I recall…
Matthews: “But the problem is you’re basing his success on a lack of achievement aren’t you? You’re saying he’s going to succeed and you can’t name a success.” …
WOW! What happens with Mat the Basta*d? If women can’t win then he relaxes and…thinks??
This Governor sucks as much as the last one. It’s one embarassment after another. I am sick of living in this Obama State. Where’s the escape hatch?
Hey barky, good luck with getting a plumber at the Chicago mansion Rezko bought for you. hahahahahah
My husband says he heard on MSNBC that Colin Powell may endorse Bobo. Can this fool do anything but trot out another endorsement every time the ground cracks a little wider under him? Who gives a rot who endorses this joke? Most of us are not lemmings!
Yep! It’s really striking how little there is to BO, and how little his ardent supporters can point to as his grand accomplishments. And why doesn’t anyone seem to notice this??
Amazing, ain’t it? Last night I was arguing with my mother, who is, I regret to say, a confirmed Obamatron. When I asked her this very question she said, “He’s a law professor!” I just had no response, I was floored. I wanted to say “So let’s just round up all the law professors in the country and pick one for preznit?” but I let it go, as she is my mother and I do love and respect her despite this period of temporary insanity she’s undergoing.
My mom,long-time Republican re-registered as Democrat and voting for “the lesser of two evils”-Obama. This is based on our local pro-Obama news paper and MSM.She doesn’t watch cable, and “refuses to talk politics with family” when I try to inform her on the dangers of Obama. ARGGGG!
So “orwellian”. All my life as a Democrat(now indy),she a Republican….I feel like I’m in the twilight zone!
Heard a lot of talk about this, too. Yeah, another “look at who likes me!!” attempt at distraction. Powell has lost so much respect among so many people, I think the reaction will be a huge universal shrug.
More than a shrug for me. These types of contradictory endorsements repel me even farther from Barky. Makes my Manchurian Canidate radar go off. For an inexperienced, untested democrat, Obama has received far too many “against type” endorsements from power brokers, from Wall Street billionaires to the Tri-lateral Commission. To quote one of my favorite robots: “Danger Will Robinson. Danger! Danger!”
I went to early vote this morning. The place There was a write in option. I didn’t try it though.
What I want to know is–did Chris Matthews get that tingly feeling up and down his leg BEFORE or AFTER he did this interview?

Poll finds American reject redistribution of wealth as suggested by Barack Hussein Obama.
PRINCETON, NJ — When given a choice about how government should address the numerous economic difficulties facing today’s consumer, Americans overwhelmingly — by 84% to 13% — prefer that the government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

Americans Oppose Income Redistribution to Fix Economy
[Note: Elect John McCain for a free America and economic growth.]
If Senator Government loses…is this what the streets of America will look like?
/Buying more ammo today…just in case.
People have a way of not recognizing the wolf at the door until after it has eaten one of the children. Do not allow Obama anywhere near our precious constitution, he will put a match to it and give you ten reasons why it was the right thing to do.
