Barack’s Contrived Hawaii Trip
By Larry Johnson on October 23, 2008 at 12:09 PM in Bamboozling, Current Affairs, Media Bias, Michelle Obama, Typical white person
Talk about bamboozling the public, the Obama campaign has trotted out the ultimate PR propaganda designed to persuade America that Barack Obama is a regular guy who cares about his grandmother. Oh, did I mention she is white and from Kansas? I mean, who doesn’t love their granny? Dorthy and Toto were from Kansas. You just don’t get more American than that. Let’s just remind everyone that Barack is a man grieving for his mama grandma.
The storyline being fed to (and swallowed by) most of the public is that Granny Dunham, Obama’s defacto mama, has taken a turn for the worse and is humming Bob Dylan’s, “Knock, Knock, Knocking at Heaven’s Door.” Demonstrating that politics are secondary when it comes to family, Barack will dash off to Hawaii today and sit by her side. Sort of a pre-shiv’ah ritual bereavement. He does not care whether this puts his campaign at risk. He’s above politics. It is Grandma for gods sake!!
If you have finished hurling into your air sickness bag, here’s what is really going on.
Remember Barack’s August vacation? Yeah, he cared so much about Granny that he saw her only for an hour and did not take Michelle and the girls to visit the woman who he credits with helping raise him. Pretty odd behavior.
This trip is part of a scripted campaign event. It is a sign that the Obama team are so confident their boy has the election in the bag, that they are stepping up efforts to solidify Barack’s image as a regular, mainstream Joe. Hence the visit to Granny in a time of need. Now Grandma Dunham is an elderly woman and is coming off of a broken hip. From the sound of it she is a feisty old gal and no more in peril of keeling over than any other 86 year old woman. Check out this CBS story, which is based on a interview with Barack’s great uncle and his granny’s brother:
Payne, who is Obama’s great-uncle, said his sister was hospitalized briefly but is back home in her Honolulu apartment, where Obama’s sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, cares for her. Obama plans to suspend campaigning later this week to visit his grandmother, and Payne is planning to fly there for her 86th birthday, which is Sunday.
Payne, 83, said he spoke to his sister briefly on Monday.
“We had a short and as upbeat as possible conversation,” said Payne, a retired university library administrator. “She hated the hospital.”
She’s got the normal problems of an aging body but, with plans for the birthday party, it does not sound like a wake is imminent. Let’s face it, if Granny Dunham was departing this mortal coil (and let’s face it, she is an old lady and will die at some point) wouldn’t the whole family go? Shouldn’t Barack’s daughters get a chance to say good bye to Great Grandma Dunham.
Here’s Dylan, get well Granny Dunham.
He needs some R and R before setting out to destroy America.
Someone needs to tell Biden that if it walks like a socialist, acts like a socialist and talks like socialist it’s most likely a socialist platform.
Perhaps she’s got a birth certificate somewhere amongst her family heirlooms that Barack needs?
Good health to her and hopefully she can tell the man to grow a pair and stop wasting our time.
Perhaps she can get Barack clear on the facts about concentration camps his biological relatives once visited during WWII.
If she is not well the least he could do is bring the kids.
I can’t think of anything a great grandmother – one who raised her grandchild and lost her only daughter at a young age – would want than to see her precious great grandchildren.
And Michelle is an outrage – not to have visited with the kids in August was bad enough. This is disgusting….IMHO.
I saw on NBC last night footage of the entire Obama family visiting his grandma during their August trip. They also said he went to see her every day he was in Hawaii.
LOL. I said the same to my spouse last night. He has the nerve to say this about Mccain, but can’t see it in his own running mate. These Democrats disgust me! I will be voting mainly republicain except for our Governor who has really made a big difference here.
Nah this is to program him for his 30 minute diatribe.
DEEEEEEEEEEEE LON!!! W00T!!!
This is my take on it…he needs some down time. What better way to get the weekend off than to say he is going to visit his, did I mention she is white, grandmother. What happened to the story that she was in critical condition? Why is everything always a lie? He is so like Bush. Whatever he says or the campaign says is a lie. Our duty is to try and find out how big the lie and the ulterior motive!
If Obama’s grandmother were “near death” as the media pundits and presstitutes implied – why didn’t he leave IMMEDIATELY?!?
Ha!
Just more bamboozling!
I love that – “presstitutes”.
From the same article Larry Johnson quotes:
You people are either dupes or lying hacks like Mr. Johnson. The article makes clear that she is not well. That you Republicans will be in the political wilderness for a generation brings me great joy. The same goes for the handful of PUMAs still clutching their pearls about the primaries, but you are so few that you are hardly worth the mention.[Administrator: Such ugliness is not welcome here. Goodbye.]
So why is Michelle going to stay on the campaign trail?
He only spent an hour *alone* with his granma out of an entire week of vacation?
I’m not buying his motives are *only* Toot.
You are incorrect that Mr.Obama only visited her an hour during his Hawaii trip. It is well documented by the reporters of the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper that he spent at LEAST an hour EVERY day of his trip at grandmother’s apartment. His children and Michelle visited for one hour, perhaps only once. Barack and his sister Maya (who cares for Mrs. Dunham) were regularly by her side in August. Further, the Advertiser reports Maya keeps her brother constantly informed of her health.
Where’s your cite on that information…I distinctly remember looking for any such news and never saw such reports anywhere.
From August 11th, the third day of his Hawaiian vacation:
August 12th:
Will a correction from Mr. Johnson be forthcoming?
No way…Larry wouldn’t admit to lying, which he so effortlessly does.
where are the whitey tapes Larry???? Time is running out, no?
You are a real piece of work, Mr. Johnson. Were you fired from the CIA? Is that why you are now touting your horn from this cesspool of a diary? Are you actually proud of what you ‘own’ now?
I think Grandma thinks that Bambi married beneath himself and doesn’t like Michelle very much. It doesn’t say much for Michelle if she married up to a crack head.
And yet, no mention of his BC? Or gosh, when a relative of mine is that close to death, I don’t plan my return (on a Monday) beforehand.
And if she’s that sick, then dammit, get on the Oplane right away…not wait two days!
Contrived.
Then why bother mentioning it if it’s “hardly worth the mention.” Just send Granny a card and wish her well instead of bashing those you disagree with.
By the way, whose hand is measuring the “handful of PUMAS”? And is that like counting the number of angles dancing on the head of a pin?
Really? he suspended his Campaign days ago, didn’t he?…NOOOO, cuz I saw him with my own two eyes last night, having a ball in Virginia. My husband asked me “what happened? I thought he suspended his campaign so he could go see his dying grandmother” Obviously, he is getting as much mileage out of the “Dying Grandma Tour” as Cher got out of her last “Last Tour”.
It is, at best, an Axelrod invented ruse to no doubt garner any sympathy votes he can get from old folks who have been abandoned by their ungrateful children, or grandkids. Obama gives hope, see? Even in the midst of a Presidential Campaign he can plan a few hours in between campaign stops to stop by, slip Granny a Nightcap, go through any incriminating papers in Granny Toot’s dresser drawers, and then miraculously disappear in a flash that might seem like a Halcion infused dream. See, Barry didn’t forget your Birthday, he just couldn’t stay for the party.
If i were Toot, I’d tell Security to keep him out of the building, and I damned sure would not let him visit…especially with the delightful revelations of Andy Martin today! What a hoot! Obama may be Davis’s kid? Looks a hell of a lot more like him than he does Barack SR. I feel like the missing puzzle pieces are starting to fall into place, and I for one, believe THAT is why we haven’t heard anything else from Corsi. Martin seems to have come up with a contradicting theory to the whole Birth Certificate mystery, and yes, I am sure Toot and Gramps knew the truth. It all makes sense, and so far, in this Election, nothing has made sense at all up to this time about Barack Obama, the man, the myth, the legend.
It ALMOST makes me feel sorry for the guy, but the fact that he is a pathelogical liar and a con artist just holds me back from actually caring.
I am willing to bet that the National Enquirer, who were supposed to be cooking up a story on Davis and Obama, may have already been briefed by Martin prior to his disclosure this morning. We shall see, and yes, for once, Inquiring minds do want to know.
Your blog has been filled daily with nauseating smears of Barack Obama, and you find THAT too much for your delicate sensibilities?
Larry, how old are you? Isn’t it time that you think about growing up?
green eagle, please leave quietly before i call the authorities.
oh wow..the authorities. and what authorities exactly do you refer to?? the slime police? they wouldn’t know where to begin in this site, there is so much crap.
this is evidently susan and larry’s reason for writing now, smear Obama with as many lies and slime as possible and then make up ‘posters’ to fill the pages with more lies and smears.
what are you going to do after Nov 4th??? whether Obama wins or not, will you finally give the smears a rest? Don’t you guys have a job or something to do every day?
You know, I had pictured those behind the names as a bunch of Republicans too embarrassed to say what they really supported the last 8 years, and a slim few REALLY stupid, actual Dems. But your explanation makes far more sense.
I wonder how many people turn into the 60-70 crazies who post? 6? 4? Even 2, one or both of which is very good at making certain errors for each identity?
Whew, this place stinks…
I’ve held my nose enough. I’m outta here –
That was an answer to your despicable ugliness, and you call it ugliness and ban the poster.
Fu*king heartless a55holes.
Maybe Obama went to visit the site of his true father, Frank Marshall Davis. Check out Mr. Davis photo on this webpage.
http://www.nathanielturner.com/frankmarshalldavispoet.htm
Look at the lips. If not a birth father, certainly an idealogic father.
Frank Marshall Davis
Born December 31, 1905(1905-12-31)
Arkansas City, Kansas
Died July 26, 1987 (aged 81)
Honolulu, Hawaii
Occupation journalist, poet
Nationality United States
Frank Marshall Davis (December 31, 1905, Arkansas City, Kansas; July 26, 1987, Honolulu, Hawaii) was an American journalist, poet and political and labor movement activist. In 1950 he was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee for his links with the Communist Party USA in the United States.[1]
“Look at the lips”? WTF??
undercover,
Probably means speech not lips, my take on it.
You have something against Frank Marshall Davis’s lips? I have my father’s mouth? IS there a problem with that?
Sorry, but I do not believe this new idea that Frank Marshall Davis is his real father. I don’t believe they look alike at all.
Obama has an angular long face like his mother and maternal grandfather. The Kenyan’s face though small is angular, too. People need to post a photo of 0bama’s maternal grandfather when he was young. Except for the nose, skin color and hair texture, they favor. His oldest daughter has that same long angular face as well.
I don’t know why people suddenly want 0bama to be the bastard son of Davis. Davis was an American. And that would definitely make 0bama American, too. Even though I’m anti-0bama, I certainly think the technicality of him being adopted by Soetoro as a child, who had no say, would not make him ineligible. People would cry ‘foul’ and rightly so if both parents were American. Children have no say in what a parent may or may not decide. And besides, he did return back to the States at a young enough age and remained. It doesn’t seem as if Lolo Soetoro was interested in Barack once his own child was born. So as far as I’m concerned the adoption is void.
I prefer the scenario of the Kenyan being his father.
It’s a farce, a non-issue. Who cares about this or the birth certificate nonsense or any of the other tinfoil hat crap besides the asshats who skulk around sinkholes like No Quarter? It’s been settled, it’s done. There’s nothing there.
You’re gonna lose and you have to start coming to terms with that. There’s simply no dirt-digging to be done to find some 11th hour scandal. It doesn’t exist, just like little green men don’t exist.
How’s about trying to actually deal civilly with other people — esp those who hold differing viewpoints?
What a waste of time.
He is trying to hook up the PITY VOTE..IMHO!!!
Barack Obama cares deeply for his grandmother, who helped raise him. The Star Ledger Newspaper and the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper have both reported that they witnessed him making DAILY VISITS to his grandmother’s apartment in August. He spent the remainder of his time with his sister and her family, as he has done very Christmas holiday since leaving Hawaii for college. He is extremely close to both his grandmother and his sister Maya, who was raised together with their mother and maternal grandmother, Mrs. Dunham. It is often reported in Hawaii that Barack’s children are very close to their Hawaiian cousins, and that Michelle has grown very close to Barack’s family in Hawaii over the years. For Michelle to make the choice to spend every Christmas together with her husband’s grandmother and his sister and family, is evidence to me (and everyone else in Hawaii) that Mr.Obama loves his family.
Victoria,
Why are these reports only in Hawaiian newspapers? Why isn’t any of the info you’ve reported available nationally? And where are photos?
At the Convention, I noticed something that I found very startling: that 0bama never once looked at, related to his sister in any way when they were all on the stage after his speech.
If they are as close as you say, where was the hug after his acceptance speech? After all, this was a momentous occasion.
And as far as Christmas is concerned, since the 0bamas don’t celebrate Christmas, spending the holiday in an island Paradise like Hawaii is hardly a sacrifice. I’d make that sacrifice in a minute.
You know that Barry will be going through every desk and closet there, searching for any papers that could spill the beans about his true past. He will be bringing one thing to Granny’s: a shredder.
Barack’s a fool. The FIRST thing everyone learns about politics is NEVER to suspend your campaign in an attempt to stage some kind of publicity stunt, like riding into Washington to kill bipartisan legislation. Any candidate who feels suspending their campaign is an appropriate action is not qualified to be President.
Touche Tumby. . . I think your irony was lost on this ship of fools.
yep, Obama is a fool allright.
I know…geez. These people.
It’s not like Barack didn’t mention his Grandmother before on the campaign trail in a loving speech where he compared her to another important figure in his life, his moral compass, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
In the best speech since the Gettysburg Address or the Sermon on the Mount, Obama said he could “no more disown Jeremiah Wright, then he could his own Grandmother”. They are equals in his life! (Well..except his Grandmother never sold for profit tapes of herself standing in front of hundreds of people blaming “white people’s greed”, screaming about the “US of KKKA” or dry humping the pulpit!)
These dupes just don’t get that Barack would never use his Grammy for political gain! Blind, ironically-challenged fools.
Of course he loves his “typical white grandmother.”
Wanna bet that Uncle Wright will be at the inauguration if Bambi is elected? He’ll probably give the benediction and Bambi will spin that one to death.
My head is going to explode.
And then he threw good old “typical white person” granny under the bus.
Oh ja,
the good ol’ arrogance.
That’s gonna get You votes.
We take the one that has experience and character.
John McCain!
Uhh, no, his ‘irony’ was not lost. But Obama is. Lost at sea.
What type of ship of fools would we be without a couple of rats like you? By the way, given that you are not abandonng our ship, it’s fair to conclude that you do not think we are sinking.
Standard Obot. Too much mouth, too little mind.
The first rule of politics as FDR said is, “There are no coincidences in politics.” The birth certificate story might be heating up, except it appears those pursuing it are flakes. Time will tell, does Andy Martin have a video of Granny?
I consider Soertoro/Obama’s whole campaign as run by “flakes” so I guess it’s just which flake you choose to agree with. I see Berk as less flaky than Wright, or Michelle Obama for that matter.
And filing a federal court case and not having it thrown out goes a long way in convincing me that the “flake” was Soertoro/Obama for not just handing the judge his birth certificate and ending it months ago!
ACORN was cut from that bad bill…remember how me as a fellow progressive, and other so-called progressives ruminated and steamed about how the “patriot act” was FUCKING RAMMED THROUGH CONGRESS WITH NO ONE READING IT?!?!?!?
SO WHY “gumby T. Fuck” would you advocate the same treatment for a bill that gives billions to wall street and bails out banks?
John McCain went to Washington, sat quietly and influenced other Republicans who were NOT initially included in discussions, and McCain helped STOP A BAD BILL! Did YOU think the first draft was a good idea?
What did uhbama do? “Um, excuse me while I posture for politics” Call me if ya need me!
Will the MSM saying anything about suspending his campaign but MO is still campaigning. Now if it was McCain, he would suspend it and take his family with him. Unless there is no blood connection, why take the family.
Obama mislead the media again. Read more below:
http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/2008/10/22/could-this-be-the-real-reason-obama-is-headed-to-hawaii/
What if…
Obama is Frank Marshall Davis’s illegitimate son, but was born in Kenya because his Mom married Barack, SR. to give her kid a name, and to give SR a pathway to U.S. Citizenship.
She apparently did not bring him here until after he was already born, at which time he may or may not have become a Naturalized Citizen. Things went south in the Obama relationship, and they divorced, she remarried Soetoro, who adopted Obama, tried to raise him as a Muslim, took him to Indonesia, she then foreited Obama’s U.S. Citizenship so that he could obtain Indonesian status, (unless he was always Kenyan) and when things weren’t going well with Husband #2, she sent him back to the U.S.–did he obtain U.S. Naturalized citizenship then? Did they not bother with the paper work? Was it easier to keep Obama listed as a Muslim from Indonesia to get him into and out of all the countries Ann allegedly worked and lived in (sis claimed there were thirteen, in all)
When Obama got back here in the States, the Grandparents probably thought they were doing the right thing by Barry, by letting him get to know his real Dad, but they may not have told him the truth about Uncle Frank until he was a young man.
No wonder the guy is nuts, and angry. I think I now understand why he did not visit Mom as she was dying, and I think we may also be seeing why, despite the financial sacrifice of his Grandparents, he seemed to have such animosity towards them.
I think we understand why so many people in the Chicago secret society accepted Obama so eagerly, and why this ordinary Black guy got financial backing from folks along the way, when he had no explainable connection to anybody else who would have for no good reason, chosen to sponsor him into colleges like Occidental, Columbia Univ. and later, Harvard. And God knows, Bill Ayers loves him some Communists and Civil Rights Activists!…
Hmmm, this plot is as thick as pea soup, and every bit as tasty!
Then both his parents would be American.
True.
Sad, but true.
What I found weird is the delay. Why wasnt Obama visiting her while she was in the hospital is she was in real bad shape. Or if she took a turn for the worse on Monday why wasnt he on the first plane out to Hawaii on Monday instead of waiting.
Also why all the other conincidences….The filing of the BC suit in Hawaii, Losing Numbers in the poll, along with Hawaii ceasing a medical plan that was very similar to Obamas
Sorry it all looks very weird.
The delay is weird. It’s even weirder that he is leaving the day before her birthday. Obambi is basically showing up late and leaving early.
Kinda odd that newspaper reports say grandma is “gravely ill,” but Obama finds time to dance through video on the Ellen Show, and then to have a press appearance trying to WORM what Biden said as a “rhetorical flourish.”
It doesn’t make sense.
Its the old day late and a dollar short timing for Nobama. He needs someone to drag him across the finish line by way of the best cheat available.
What is this about Hawaii and ending a medical plan? Hadn’t heard anything.
HONOLULU – Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched.
Gov. Linda Lingle’s administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding for the program. A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.
“People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free,” said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. “I don’t believe that was the intent of the program.”
Hmmm, something about socialism takes away the incentive to do it for yourself, don’t you think???
Isn’t he also asking McCain/Palin to suspend their campaigns as well for three days.
CNN says that McCain and Palin should suspend the campaign.
So why didnt Obama suspend the campaign during the Bailout mess?? In fact Obama had to be called in like a bad little boy.
CNN needs to go sit down and continue to smoke whatever it is there are smoking.
Obviously it must be working for them — their ratings are down around the Butterfly Channel — is it 19th or 23rd this week? They keep trading ratings positions with that other bastion of journalistic integrity, MSNBC.
“CNN needs to go sit down and continue to smoke whatever it is there are smoking.”
That would be Hopium they are smoking
The Audacity of Dope!
Good one! I’m gonna steal it.
lmao I guess I’m immune (we’re immune?)
hopium?
HopeI amIMMUNE!
EXCUSE ME! During this campaign Cindy McCain’s half sister died and Biden’s mother-in-law did also. No one suspended their campaigns for those. This is absolutely ridiculous — particularly since old Granny will probably be around for a while!
And why should they do that? Are they getting an invite to Granny’s party? I think not!
Seems Bo is getting scared that they campaign might just go on without him. Mccain will get lots of publicity and not necessarily the negative kind.
The bottom line is Obama will do ANYTHING and I repeat ANYTHING to get Biden’s comments out of the news. And I really hope his Grandmother gets well, but this is a political move. I have no doubt. It’s not like he is strapped for cash to get the whole family back there to be with Granny. Why wouldn’t he want to give his daughters some sense of family, of where they came from? Give them a chance to say goodbye? He wants them to have nothing to do with her. Or maybe Meeechelle doesn’t want them to know their “white” grandma. The whole thing is just really strange for me and it doesn’t ring true. I find myself wanting to yell “Bullshit” every time I hear him talk. Anyone with me there?
Here!
NYC
WHAAAATTT??? They are such ridiculous dumbasses.
Are you kidding me this has to be a joke I can’t believe that he asked McCain to suspend his campaign no tell me you all are joking
for realz? And they should suspend their campaign because it’s national granny day?
Isn’t he also asking McCain/Palin to suspend their campaign as well for three days.
If she dies while he’s there, poor woman, I hope they do an investigation…
I wish her only the best, and hope she overcomes.
.
It would be so easy to take a pillow. . .
Yes it would. Let’s hope his visit is supervised.
The first thing out of my husband’s mouth when he heard about this is “He’s going to smother her.”
Maybe that’s why MEchelle isn’t going. She would be the prime suspect.

Take a pillow? Ha! Barry’s the type to
just steal one from the plane!!
Good point. Maybe he’ll slip her some potassium niacin to induce a stroke/anuerism.
Naked pics of Stanley Ann who had threesomes with Frank Davis and his wife in the late 50’s if you can imagine…unbelievable.

Administrator, can you please remove this posting?
Remove that post. It is NOT his mother. Anyone who has any familiarity with the shape of her face would recognize that instantly.
This isn’t right, his mother has never done a thing to any of us. I can’t believe you would post pictures like that. I said it last night and I’ll say it again.
I did not like what they did to Sarah and her family, it angered me beyond belief. When they attacked her daughter for getting pregnant out of wedlock. I don’t want to see this done to his family either.
It is none of our business who his mother slept with or didn’t sleep with. She is not here to defend herself. This not only smears him, it smears her. There is plenty to question about his birth with the adoption, there is absolutely ZERO reason to smear his mother like this or him. I don’t care if his father is listed on his birth certificate or not. If he beliefs BO Sr. is his father then so be it. The end.
Why are American women savaged in this way?
It makes you wonder about the sexuality of many American men?
what happened with that birth certificate lawsuit?
Now Andy Martin is saying that Barack Obama is really the son of Frank Marshall Davis. As for the Berg lawsuit, who knows?
Oh I forgot another reason I thought it was a bit fishy. Why isnt Michelle going with Obama to support him in his time of crisis.
Granny can`t fist bump.
no room service at granny’s apartment
No Lobster or lobster puffs either
No Iranian Caviar..
She has some campaign stops to make.
So Meshelle is going to campaign for BS when he goes to visit his Grandma, she is going to be his political stand-in, but any attacks on Meshelle is negative and off limits??
The arrogance of that one is amazing.
Right Meeshelle can campaign for Obama while Barky is in Hawaii, but McCain should suspend HIS campaign?
Obama is “suspending his campaign” ? No, he’s just letting his 4 to 1 monetary advantage work for him. Why work the streets when your money can do it for you.
Yes! She has to go around making sure everyone knows that Baracky is the underdog. Just like she did in Jacksonville yesterday.
Since when was he the underdog in all of this? Didn’t they just proclaim victory two days ago?
They really need to water down that Koolaid
I simply trust that she’s dying, and I would never want to go to “this is politics” type thinking.
*blech*
Sorry, I usually love your posts.
This one is a bit of the edgy side.
We are all dying. It starts the day you are born. My point is that if she really was on death’s doorstep he should have been on the plane Monday. Very simple.
Well, that’s relevant, except that I’ve buried a lot of older relatives. Sometimes, you really do get notice that it’s coming soon, but you have time.
Every situation is different.
I don’t think Michelle has a relationship with her at all. That’s pretty clear.
Her presence or the lack of contact with the children is a sad part of his story, frankly. This is not the all-American family, for sure.
Anyone who says, “She was a typical white woman,” obviously has deep ambivalence.
I DO trust that reflects a mixed race child’s reality.
But I still don’t think this is politicking. I think his family isn’t what I view as normal. Frankly, neither is John’s family.
And, I guess, neither is Sarah’s. Her children’s names rather throw me, anyway. LOL*
Anyway…I think I prefer to keep my perspective. I trust she needs a final visit.
So are you saying if your family is of mixed races, you can not be considered a typical American family?
If so, I strongly beg to differ Ann.
My closest friends are a mixed racial couple and have two children. Their children love both of their families equally. There is no race thing there. Holidays are spent with both sides of the family. There is no typical this or typical that thing.
I would hope Michelle does not prevent her girls from having an equally loving relationship with both grandmothers.
If she does not then I question why she would even get involved with Barack knowing where his roots are.
No, I wasn’t saying that at all.
You’re twisting my post.
I said, she obviously has no relationship with this grandmother.
And your question? Why would get involved?
Tells me you have a formulaic view of how people meet, fall in love, and how families develop relationships.
My own experience?
Toss those out.
Nothing like that exists today.
And it’s honestly not terribly relevant to political discourse.
Wouldn’t she return to the hospital. Its not like she wants to die at home. Nancy Reagan fell, went to the hospital, and is recuperating at home.
Obama has something like the Frank Davis matter to take care of. Either that or its Berlin Redux.
Millions of people do not want to die in the hospital.
If she is dying why wait two days to fly out and why do have Saturday as your return date?
Take the Kool-aid IV out of your arm.
I’m waiting for the press pool pictures of Obama waliking to Hawaii.
I have two “mixed race” sons and three “mixed race” grandchildren. I do not think of them as “mixed race”; I think of them as my family. I can assure you that the Obama family attitude toward the grandmother/great grandmother is not “a mixed race child’s reality”. Obama’s racism is showing, pure and simple.
I cringe every time I am reminded of Obama calling his grandmother “a typical white person.” This is humiliating and disgraceful to describe the woman who helped raise him in this way. He has demonstrated over and over he does not care about his grandmother except as a campaign prop.
Interesting. His entire autobiography describes his personal angst.
I thought the best line of the entire political season was when Sarah Palin said that she was running not to “write her personal story,” but to work for the American people.
I totally got out of my chair and yelled, “Thank You!”
We don’t need people working through thier “stuff” to be president.
That aside, I can’t imagine that his story isn’t honest and authentic on an emotional level.
I hear him on that.
I just happen to be someone who thinks that’s not exactly a great reason to become president.
*haha
I am sure Obama cares about his Grandmother. But it does not appear that Barack makes sure his children share in her love or even know her! Michelle and he should make sure Grandma is a part of their kids life, but I don’t think it has a place in the campaign.
Sarah’s family is not ‘All American’ because you don’t like her children’s names?
Wow.
Sarah Palin’s daughter’s names are very “Alaska”
Bristol Bayis where they fish.
Willow is a town in Alaska,
Piper is the manufacturer of small airplanes, like the seaplane that sits in her backyard.
Track-that’s a strange one to me.
Trig is Norse, IIRC, for strength.
Anyway, it beats the hell out of Moonbeam, Rumer, Apple, Suri, Shiloh, you get my drift.
Track was named because both parents like to run.
The names show the creativity of the Palin’s and their independent nature. This reminds me of the pioneer spirit.
I do not believe that John or Sarah can be bought. Nor will they buy into something through their neglect to find the truth.
We owe it to America and the lives of great men and women who have given theirs to give us Freedom, to ask ourselves. Who do we Trust?
My vote is for Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. Choose wisely Freedom is too important to lose.
My sentiments exactly, Larry. Obama has previously said he regretted not getting to see his mother before she passed away. If his grandmother is gravely ill as first reported, your would think he would have gone immediately to her so as not to make the same mistake.
And yours are my sentiments exactly.
His grandmother was always there for him. She raised him while his mother trotted off elsewhere.
Maybe she just doesn’t WANT him there.
Dee
Did Sen Obama ever say WHY he was not able to go see his mother before she died?
He was busy running for something in Chicago. He is “The One” and you should not question anything he says or does…you racist. Do you want the media attacking you like Joe? They can make you out like a criminal if they want to.

He also said that his mother was fighting the insurance companies for coverage from her hospital bed as she was dying from cancer. What kind of person lets a parent do that alone without stepping in and being their advocate? What a horrible man!
Ellen D
good point.
That always bothered me – his story that his mother was fighting the insurance companies while she was dying of cancer. Why did she have to fight the insurance companies, especially when her son is a Harvard educated lawyer?
Certainly, it appears he’s from a seriously dysfunctional family and it seems they were for the most part estranged. That’s why his story about her insurance struggles made me wither inside – if it mattered to him, he would have stepped in to be her advocate. He didn’t, so the story is exactly as it appears to be – a political ploy to elicit sympathy from the masses.
How ridiculously easy they are to fool. Worse, how ridiculously easy it seems to fool so many.
How could he make political hay out of her insurance covering her? And what does he mean by struggle, anyway. Not that I would doubt for a second that an insurer would try to get out of paying, but just getting a claim processed normally can be a struggle. This story needs more specifics before it buys my sympathy, but sympathy for her money still isn’t the same as visiting mom when she’s dying.
The same kind of person that lets his half brother struggle along on $12 a year in Kenya, while he himself has millions.
“We are all dying. It starts the day you are born.”
Great thought Larry. Something my spouse is
always saying. I also thought this was wierd as I stated in my post yesterday. My aunt broke here hip and was in the nursing home for a month after release from the hospital.
I hope granny is well also and not at her end, but I really don’t believe that BO went to be with her in her final days.
Agreed. Hands down, and no need to make a big contrived deal of it. If you have to tell someone you’re a regular guy, likey you are not.
If the COLB issue and corsi’s suit is the reason, he is diminishing any impact or coverage of the story by making it about him and Granny.
You “trust” what AxelRod & Co. are spinning?
Why?
troll
Wouldn’t the whole family would be visiting if that were true?
The nerve of that creep. UGH UGH…I can’t stand his ass.
The point is: Obama has led the public to believe she is gravely ill, when it is perfectly acceptable for him to go visit his Grandmother without needing an explanation.
OBAMA IS GOING TO HAWAII TO COMMIT GRANNYCIDE!
He’s gonna pull the plug.
I wouldn’t put it past him
Way to go after the granny sympathy vote, eh? Little weakness in teh Awesome’s pol numbers with certain voting blocks?
Is there nothing this phony won’t exploit?
Obama is tireed and he needs a rest. Seriously, the guy always fades in the finishing laps.
in the words of Mike Tyson I hope he ‘fades into bolivian” /snark
Better yet maybe we can ask daddy Jor-el to imprison him in the phantom zone and send him packing to Krypton.
He’s gone to borrow her smelling salts.
Truman v. Dewey, need I say more.
The line in the article that I disagree with is that this is a sign that the Obama campaign is confident. it may be intended to look that way, but there are too many signs they are not confident. I just heard a clip of a left-leaning tv journalist (forget who) commenting that the recent Obama ad on healthcare confused him because even factcheck.org had called it bogus and false. The confusion was… why this late in the campaign are they running an ad like that that smacks of desperation? No, I don’t see confidence.
Also, why does he announce on Tues that he is going because she is at death’s door, but then he waits two days till today to go? I don’t know what his strategy is in going to Hawaii, but I’m sure it’s political. I’m much more inclined to believe it’s about Martin?birth cert than about granny.
Bwahahahaha!
I think my phrasing is funny too because:
1) duh, left leaning is an understatement
2) there are so many of those I can’t tell them apart, how could I remember
Actually he announced this Monday…..so add another day to the mix.
Details of credit card fraud are becoming known. Senator Government’s campaign is taking much in fishy looking credit card donations. How does this happen? Joe Biden the credit card senator would know the answer. And Senator Government needs to visit Hawaii to scare the wits out of anyone who even thinks of releasing his birth certificate, or maybe he is going to hold a press conference and let the press take a look at his newly forged and minted birth certificate!
Bumping credit cards is so easy, even double and triple bumping them is even easier.
Lots of people dont really ck their statements that much. Once a credit card is used for something it can be used time and time again.
I am sorry but between this, Acorn, Obama’s lies about his associations, the Holes in Obama’s past, the missing BC and the list goes on; Obama is getting really really scary.
I worked for several years in fraud relations. The best scheme that was out there was to hit up people’s credit cards for minimal amounts that would float under the radar and not be noticed.
If you have multiple cards to hit up for say even $25 you could pull alot off and it would never show.
And, if you contact your cc company, if it’s below a certain threshold, more than likely they will right it off – no investigation or strings attached.
or maybe he is going to hold a press conference and let the press take a look at his newly forged and minted birth certificate!
Seems most likely.
Just you wait, FactCheck will release a new COLB on their site right after his trip.
He doesn’t care for her enough to be there for her 86th birthday on Sunday.
She was gravely ill as we learned on Monday when Obama said his campaign would be suspended on THURSDAY. The Obama campaign has already told us that he will be back on Saturday (the day BEFORE granny has a birthday party—maybe her last).
AND if she is so gravely ill—-why aren’t the kids with him. MO doesn’t need to go, she probably doesn’t like granny. BUT the kids do!!!
It’s a fake love-fest committed by The Fraud!
Thanks for summarizing it so nicely.
Are you sure of what you say
A great speech indeed when he already disowned the good ole “God dam Amerika” Rev Wright.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKAbCtB4Mh4
And guess who disowned the poor woman with his own eating and talking mouth. The Messiah again. Read his book, and do not compare the Gettisburg Address and the Sermon of the mount with the pretty rhetorics,for you are comparing the National Geographic with the Enquirer.
Ohhh… whatever happens to MEECHELLEEE and her daughters, don’t mess with my family, he says.
Leave them alone like they, Obamabots have done with Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter, Sara’s down syndrome son, or Hillary’s all around misogynist attitude against her by his Trolls?
If it looks like the the Father Bama just means it in his own way, he might be liking the Sharia Law when women’s right are concerned.
Just to be sure we’re on the same page, I was attempting sarcasm above (regarding Gettysburg and Sermon on the mount)
Maybe the could not afford the fly them all first class so Mom and kids had to stay home!
Maybe the could not afford the to fly them all first class so Mom and kids had to stay home!
I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the concept that there might be something Obama can’t afford.
I don’t think you care, but you are wrong that Barack Obama only visited his grandmother for one hour during his August trip. I was living in Hawaii at the time and read the voluminous press coverage every day.
He visited his grandmother on multiple occasions, but only in small increments of an hour at a time. She is a very old woman and this is understandable.
Obviously, the story you should really be covering is Andy Martin’s expose that Barack’s father is really Frank Marshall Davis!!!!!!!
I guess that’s one rung too low for you.
Then why dont you get the archives that show Obama’s many visits. Also how about the archives that show his kids visiting his grandmother? Or for that matter his grandmother.
Many have poured over the Hawaiian newspapers and got zip.
Bullshit! I was in Hawaii at the time as well. I saw the press coverage, or better yet, the lack of it. It was low key for Obama. Nice try though. thanks for playing.
That’s right – how did that go? Any luck finding his birth certificate? Or were you looking for the whitey tape there?
Not only are you nuts, but you’re an angry little man.
So I guess you don’t think it’s a problem that a presidential candidate won’t release the most basic information about himself?
Larry, what about all that other stuff you talked about in the Aug. Pearl Harbor article? Soetoro birth certificate, intelligence from Indoensia and Pakistan, etc.? I understand whitey tape won’t be used, but could you comment on the rest of it? Lots of us got our hopes up over your reports. Thanks.
Larry: Bullshit on you. I was living there, not just for a visit, and I read the accounts that he visited on multiple occasions.
Here are the press clippings showing multiple trips by Barack Obama. They show he visited his grandmother on the day he arrived, August 8, on Monday, August 11, and on Tuesday, August 12, at the very least. Are you going to write a correction?

Presidential candidate to spend time off campaign trail with family on O’ahu
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama had his Hawai’i homecoming yesterday, telling a sun-drenched rally at Ke’ehi Lagoon Beach Park that he plans to enjoy a plate lunch, shave ice and body surfing on his vacation but also inviting them to join him in his campaign for change.
“How’s everybody doing today?” he asked. “Howzit?”
Dressed in a short-sleeved, black polo shirt and khaki pants, Obama made it clear he was on vacation and that he was in the Islands for the first time since December 2006 to see his grandmother and sister and spend down time with his family.
. . .
FAMILY TIME
After the rally, Obama stopped for a private visit with his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, at her Beretania Street apartment and spent more than an hour inside.
Obama had told reporters earlier that his grandmother was “sharp as a tack” but struggling with osteoporosis that limits her mobility.
“She is somebody who helped raise me, and she’s the last person of the generation ahead of me who’s still living, so it means a lot to me to spend time with her,” he said.
Obama’s entourage is at a private, beachfront residence in Kailua, where he is staying with family and friends during his weeklong visit.
He does not have other public events on his schedule. He mentioned the possibility of paying respects to his grandfather at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.
Obama is planning to attend a private, sold-out fundraiser at The Kahala Hotel & Resort on Tuesday night. Tickets were $2,300 per person and $10,000 for a VIP reception.
His appearance marked the first time that a major party presidential candidate visited the Islands during a campaign since Richard Nixon in 1960.
Ralph Nader, an independent presidential candidate, stopped here in July. U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination, campaigned here in September 2007.

A group called Asian Americans for Obama sent out a media alert yesterday with the headline, “BREAKING: Hawai’i is a State,” as U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka and others defended U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s decision to spend a weeklong vacation in the Islands.
Obama had another casual day yesterday: Visit his grandmother at her Makiki apartment again, watch a movie at the Ward Complex theaters and go to dinner. But his choice of vacation destinations – his hometown of Honolulu – prompted ABC News ‘ Cokie Roberts to twice call Hawai’i a “foreign” and “exotic” vacation destination for the man who wants to be president.

Hawai’i tourism officials say U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s Hawai’i vacation last week could not have come at a better time for the state’s No. 1 industry.
. . . .
Those are political distinctions. And Obama’s visit could have turned out entirely different had he been in the Isles campaigning instead of spending time with his wife and children and visiting his grandmother almost every day, said state tourism liaison Marsha Wienert.
SO just maybe Obama did visit his grandmother more than once…..It would be nice to actually see the articles—do you have the links to the articles. I know if I was quoting some newspaper or article you would probably want the links too.
Also your articles do not seem to mention anything about Michelle or the kids visiting..I do find that strange. I also find it strange that if Obama’s grandmother is Very Ill why is not Michelle with him…or the kids.
wrong sir. The last article says: “Obama’s motorcade left the park at about 3:30 p.m. At about 3:45 p.m., Obama, his daughters and his niece stopped at hisgrandmother’s Punahou-area apartment.”
———————
I do not have the links because they are not publicly available on the Honolulu Advertiser site– they ask for a fee. I used a paid search engine to find the info.
but here are some links from the other Honolulu Daily showing multiple visits:
1) Showing Michelle visited during the August trip. Note language (”more time”): “Obama returned to the Kailua home for a few hours before traveling with wife Michelle to Honolulu to spend more time with his grandmother”http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/08/12/news/story01.html

eli,
“… shes the last person of the generation ahead of me whos still living, so it means a lot to me to spend time with her, he said.”
Strange, he doesn’t consider Grandma’s brother as his living relative “the generation ahead” of him.
When is gets to Obama, we never know how low it can be. We are still getting to know him.
I think Obama is in trouble. I just have that feeling and I hope I’m right.
Why the constant Obama commercials? Why is he still asking for more donations to his campaign? Why the contrived trip to Hawaii to prove he cares for his granny? On top of that, he’s pulling out old arguments that evil Republicans are going to take away your Medicare and Social Security.
Someone who has an election all wrapped up does not behave this way.
Honestly, I’m scared about the violence that is going to ensue when this election is over. The media and the pollsters have been negligent reporting this election the way they have. All the Obots are sure of an Obama win. What happens when it doesn’t materialize?
Obama’s economic adviser from the University of Chicago, Austan Goolsby, supports privatization of Social Security.
Whoa. Post and repost this. Get this out to everyone.
This has been known for ages and much as we yell at the MSM, they will not report it.
Soooo sensitive, Lars!
Doesn’t surprise me one bit!
Lars needs to take his meds.
Sue…I agree.
However, I think the riots/lawsuits will be focused on attacking the MSM!
Forget about blacks versus whites after the election…
EVERYONE in this country will slowly realize how the media handled this campaign from day 1 and the mainstream media will see some real blowback.
Some cities are calling out the riot teams for the election. It is making the Dems angry as they are saying it will keep there voters from coming out.
I think it needs to be done. There would be no reason for them to not vote if they did not plan on causing problems. The community comes first! Not the Obama campaign.
He is hitting women hard here in Florida. Big, glossy 4 to 6 pages ads. They seem only to show whites and aimed at women and equal pay. I tear them to shreds. Good anger management activity.
These are mail outs and addressed to me, not my husband.
This ultra-leftist-posing-as-a-centrist candidate has turned me into a cynic as far as the course of his campaign goes. My suspicion is his ego was badly bruised in NC a few days ago when he was unable to charm a diner full of elderly voters. One woman even cried out “Socialist!” as he entered the restaurant. So forgive me if I think this HI visit is yet another stunt — to show those NC folks and others like them that he truly cares about his typical-white-person grandmother. And as I’ve said here before, I suspect he’s anticipating an October surprise and is using his grammy as a shield to help thwart criticism. Why else would he have bothered to make an announcement, several days in advance, that he planned to visit her? Reports of her imminent death have even been shot down by her brother.
Ha ha- ultra-leftist-posing-as-a-centrist- Lanny Davis actually said Obama is a fiscal conservative on FOX this morning. Yes, conservative..the messiah can’t resist the temptation to be ALL things simultaneously.
Lanny is pretty much the party idiot these days.
He was always a bit too over-the-top even when he supported Hillary.
I think of him as a “squawker.”
Lanny Davis!
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
poor Lanny, he has a big purply-red ring all around his mouth from the copiuos volumes of koolaid he has been swilling
Lars – you are a Kool Aid drinking troll !!
You can’t stand it because Larry tells the truth about your Messiah !! Nobama will lose – now get out of here unless you have something constructive to add.
i don’t think he’s a troll. He has a man-crush on larry and is just trying to get his attention.
Mel is being far too charitable in his description of “Lars”. There is little doubt that by its non-thinking it was adding something constructive.
Very funny! You have to be joking.
Bwahahahaha! Aren’t they all?
Larry – I am totally with you…I’m not always clinical and cynical, but where this political animal is concerned – 100%!
with new data showing only 13% voting for the first time, yes, it’s time to solidify the senior vote. i’m sure a focus group said he seemed strangely cold & out-of-touch when it comes to his grandmother.
and of course, while there, may as well deal with some birth cert issues – if they crop up!
wanna bet that this time he allows some poignant pix!
Using good old grandma again. What a pr… of a granson.
Obama will do or say anything to become a president.
OT, but Barry’s pretty much a proven New Party member in the nineties – this needs to be pushed hard into the media.
From right-wingers but these are scanned photos.

Hate to be a cynic, but I think he went to Hawaii with a duffle bag of cash…to “spread the wealth around” the Department of Vital Statistics. Period.
OMG !! the media is endlessly playing this up as if she is dying!
Obama the bastard-
She’s probably at home going “I’m old but I’m not dead.” God he is so shameless.
Seriously, will you feel awful if she does pass away shortly?
I can’t fathom where you guy are on my personal radar.
This isn’t a big story, frankly.
It’s about as relevant as the cost of Palin’s family makeover.
This is so, so not relevant.
OMG I know a lot of old people, one of my good friends is 80 years old, these people have a very healthy attitude toward death.
No I will not feel bad. People die. The number one cause of death is life, she’s lived a long good one. She’ll surely live another few years if she’s that healthy now.
Did you even read the article? She’s home from the hospital. She broke a hip, she didn’t get pneumonia!
AnninCA, your comments are always all over the place. One minute you are ragging on Obama and the next minute taking-up for him. What is with you?
Obama is playing to her sensitive side and winning.
My grandmother is 89 and in a rehab center right now. I love her dearly but understand she has lived a great long life. I will cry when she passes, but understand that she is better off then lying in a hospital bed wasting away.
Granny obama will be fine also.
AnninCA is a Barky supporter. That’s what’s up. A staunch party partisan voter who votes for slobs no matter who is put on the ticket as long as they claim to be a Dem.
Country before Party!
Dem for MacPalin! ‘08
tic-toc tic-toc
NC Girl
Don’t worry. annin ca been here all the time. She just needs to re evaluate her indecisions.
I was chatting to a friend of mine in California last night, and one of his friends apparently decided to organise a rally for Obama. To cut a long story short, the planning for the event has become bigger and bigger, and now this guy is in talks with Obama’s “people”. Apparently they’ve hinted that Obama may show up, as it’s in Sacramento this weekend, and he’ll be passing through on the way to his grandmother.
I gave credit where credit was due – well done to the guy who did the organising. But I had to keep my true feelings for Obama to myself. (I can’t stand the guy!)
And is it me, or are Obama supporters becoming more and more arrogant? They seem to have this disgust for anyone who doesn’t support him. The friend I was talking to said to me “You may as well get used to it – he’s going to be the next President”. I wanted to throw up.
organize
I’m British.
Why would he show up for an event in CA if he has that state in the bag? Wouldn’t you think he would focus on more battleground states?
Ed Rendell is practically begging him to come back to PA but doesn’t seem like he will.
It really makes you wonder what the internal polling is showing them.
I do aree with whoever said above that CA will go to Obama – that’s a sure thing with all the liberal base there.
I don’t get why he would focus on attending that one, even for convenience sake. Unless maybe he feels some pressure for using campaign funds to make a personal trip?
This is the point of the article. He will “make the sacrifice” before seeing his granny to campaign. Its all about him, and I think Larry is right on the purpose of his trip. This side diversion to sacramento is just bs, and will further cement Larry’s argument.
The rubber rooms and the jails are gonna be overflowing with 0bots come November 5 – they’re all just gonna come unglued (if it’s possible to be more unglued than they are ) when barky loses.
I remember back in 2004 when the polls showed a Kerry win and then Kerry lost. Everybody in my group of friends and colleagues, die-hard democrats all, were depressed for weeks. We had to console each other daily. It felt like there was a dark cloud hovering over the whole world with the prospect of another 4 years of Bush.
The thing is, we were all sane, mature, hard-working, normal democrats – and we still had a hard time. The immature, vicious, hateful, demonic, lunatic 0bots are gonna go through the same loss on November 4 – but it’s gonna be very very ugly for them.
Yet the Yahoo headline a couple days ago said that granny was “gravely ill” – “gravely” – as in almost dead.
No doubt most NQ readers saw that headline too – and I’ll bet there’s not a soul here who didn’t immediately say “BS” – except for the trolls, of course – well, actually nope – even they know it’s pure poppycock.
But, nobody can ever say the 0media ain’t doin’ their bit for barky!
Well, that’s not actually what I thought, but I’ll have to admit that what did cross my mind was that he could have changed her medication to some slow acting poison that would take her out after he left. I’m sorry to say these things about anybody, but I think that man is pure evil and would do anything to get what he wants.
Another thought on the polls:
John Zogby attacked the AP poll because they didn’t account enough for college kids. Zogby and other pollsters have been assuming that there are so many college kids with cell phones only who are so heavily for Obama, that they made a statistical adjustment for it. They are giving points to Obama on the assumption of this college kids/cellphones theory. Reminds me of taking delegates away from one candidate and giving them to another based on similar fantasy justifications.
And yet, the internals on the new IBD poll shows that first time voters 18-24 are going for McCain by 5 points. There ya go.
The rationale about cell phones/polling is a fallacy — it’s as if it’s presumed conservatives don’t use cell phones and that no young people would vote for Republicans.
The pollsters know this election is of tremendous interest to the voting public. My guess is that the daily zigzaging is to help ensure the polls garner a lot of that interest. By the last couple of days before the election, the polls should be more uniform and consistent, as they usually are. For now, many of them are simply jerking us around.
Yeah! My 22 year old son voted today for the first time and marked his ballot for McCain/Palin.
The Zogby brothers are Muslims and are friends with Obama. Good friends. James was a SD. They should be honest and disclose their relationship.
There is an article titled James John and Joseph Zogby Google it, if it has not been scrubbed. I have posted it 3 or so times. Everyone should read it.
MSNBC has launched a news project with a variety of left-wing special interest groups to boost their Election Day coverage and help viewers experiencing problems at the polls.
One of the groups involved in MSNBC’s “Election Protection” project is the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. ACORN has been involved in rampant voter registration fraud across the nation this election cycle and is actively supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama for president.
http://townhall.com/columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/10/22/msnbc_teams_up_with_acorn,_la_raza
MSNBC has just verified what we already knew. They are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Obama campaign, no longer a serious news organization.
I read that Andy Martin is in Hawaii revealing the real Barack Obama and his father Frank Marshall Davis. Gosh, could this be the reason Obama took off to Hawaii? Ya think?????
Poor granny, being used again for political gain.
Andy’s suit was filed with their supreme court on Monday…Hmmm strange coincidence
Supreme court rejected to release BC.
He went to Hawaii to get his real kenyan birth certificate from his granny who is still under the bus. Obama said last night on CBS that “a person who doesn’t care about his own family won’t care about other people” Really Obama, so how come you don’t send money to your own BROTHER in Kenya, ya know, the one who is living in POVERTY on a dollar a month, yeah that brother, sorry, half-brother, still blood!! So thanks so much Obama for telling us you don’t give a damn about people
He is in trouble and looking for his BC perhaps?
Barack ‘Tyrone’ Obama needs a break man, leave him alone. He just landed in Oz. Surrounded by Ayers, ACORN, Frank Davis and the socialist party. He may have to tell the truth and its freaking him out.
OBAMA: “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more.”
TOTO: “woof” “Who’s your daddy?” “woof”.
Communist, Frank Davis is Nobama’s real Dad.
Rinse and repeat. Repeat often.
ps: Nobama’s mother was a loose woman for those times-late 50’s.

How would you feel if:
-you broke your hip
-went home to recuperate
-heard your grandson released a statement saying he was coming to see you because you are dying
-remember back to his vacation in Hawaii where he could only spare an hour for you.
I might be frightened a little…just by the fact everyone is presuming me to be dying due to my grandson’s remarks.
I hope that whatever is ailing his grandmother heals quickly.
this is disgusting, even for you people. Take a look in the mirror.
Take a look at your candidate.
I have thank you very much. You are the lines who will have to live with the monsters this election turned you into for the rest of your lives. I finally understand how atrocities like the holocaust are possible-the uglymob mentallity and willingness to believe anything in order to rationalize anything to explain your hatred is apalling
lol. you are an insane voice, if you believe as you say. ugly mob mentality – typical obamacrats.
No. We are right and you are wrong. We are the good people and you are the monsters.
Second that.
Have you informed Rev Wright how appalling hatred is. Your boy, Obama, was schooled by that hateful preacher for 20 years–or have you not heard?
I beg to differ. It’s the so-called “movement progressives” that have turned into something more monstrous than what they claimed they’ve despised. For them, all’s fair — whatever it takes to win. They make Karl Rove look like an amateur.
A lot of us here are simply blowing off steam. We need and deserve to, considering how frustrating it is to witness the daily outrages our media put forth, and how hypocritical the Obama campaign is. Give us a break!
I finally understand how atrocities like the holocaust are possible
Then you must be able to see the the dictator in it’s infancy before you.
Civilian Army
Economic collapse and using it to create fear
Mantra of Change
Silencing dissent
Non stop media propaganda
Don’t worry little Obot, those boots will fit you nicely.
You come here to fight and hurl insults trying to justify voluntarily giving up your own freedom. Good job.
Again, Take a look at your candidate.
Then look yourself in the mirror and call yourself a communist, because that’s what will be reflecting back at you.
McCain is winning! OBOT
President McCain and first lady Cindy McCain
Vice President Palin…
Like that?
What is even funnier they are saying Michelle will be filling in for Obama while he is away, that should be good I hope she tell us all about wicked white America
yes! she’s no longer off limits then?
Exactly Michelle is not going to granny’s and probably never has gone to granny’s for only one reason… granny is WHITE…and I’m called the racist by these creeps …I think not!!!
Maybe Biden can give her some lessons in how to slip up. We all know she can’t contain her anger for long
She broke her hip!
No, not a great thing but not as critical for elderly people as it was years ago. At one time, when an elderly person broke their hip, they went into the hospital, laid up, caught pneumonia and that was it. My great aunt died that way. But not today.
Read the danged information before spouting off, will you? She was in the hospital “briefly” and is back home.
But you write nonsense like “I trust she’s dying.” Nobody has said she’s dying. In fact, if you read the Obama campaign statements themselves, they rarely refer to her actual state of health at all, only that she’d been “hospitalized” and he was going to visit her. Probably to lay on his hands and miraculously heal her, considering he is the Messiah himself.
What is wrong with us? We know better but, even then, we’re willing to swallow his nonsense.
Is this gullibility just built into the human psyche?
And don’t jump on Larry. He’s doing what he does, calling like it is. If not for him and others of his “ilk” we would have sunk with the rest of those tossed overboard from the Good Ship Hillary a long time ago.
Is he a bit direct? You better believe it. Thank goodness somebody is!!!
[Larry reminds me a bit of Governor "Call a Club a Club" Palin -- yes, I changed card suits so as not to walk into an obvious trap.]
My grandmother is slightly older than Barack’s grandmother. She has problems occasionally with her lungs. She has fallen. When she did, she went to the hospital, stayed briefly, and went home. She’s not in the peak of health but she’s doing damn well for her age.
But, trust me, the word “dying” means what it means. And nobody’s suggested any such thing. And, when the word is used, you go NOW. Been there as well, done that. You don’t “schedule” a visit.
What it does show you is what this man, Obama, will do to win an election, especially when threatened with losing.
Basically, anything.
I would disagree. A hip fracture at this stage?
That could be the end. It depends upon her medical condition prior to the fracture.
My experience only here. I’ve buried several close older relatives. Sometimes we had leeway, sometimes not. But the doctors did notify us.
I trust that he needs to visit her. She raised him.
I think the fact that he didn’t visit his mother is very, very “odd” to voters.
So I don’t question that this is also going to be spun politically.
However, I trust the story. She needs to see him one last time.
My parents are old and trust me, seniors and old people are much more active than they used to be and they have the BEST HEALTHCARE around!
One guy has liver cancer surgery and a day later he’s playing the back nine with my dad. I keep thinking their friends are gonna die then nope, still going with manageable lymphoma, spinal fusion surgery, quick drop-in for skin cancer removal, then they’re back home scheduling their next trip to Nicaragua, Africa, what have you. They are living it up, today’s geezers, the last group to have solvent pensions and social security.
No kidding. My dad is 94, goes to physical therapy twice a week, walks without a cane, takes off in his gator, and is totally independent for himself, except for meals and laundry and driving.
The only co-pay he has is for prescriptions as his insurance covers everything at 100% between medicare and his other policy. He bought the health insurance in the 1950’s.
I would love to inherit his health insurance and his pension.
If granny’s out of the hospital the danger has probably already passed. The main danger to older people who break their hips is the pneumonia and staph and other stuff they pick up IN THE HOSPITAL in their weakened, early post-operative state. Once they’re deemed strong enough to be released, all is usually OK.
I know that’s a big, general statement, but it tends to be true. That said, 0bama’s granny was released some time ago, right?
This has been the experience in my family too. Pneumonia is often the actual killer in the end. The odds of recovery are better when one leaves the germ-ridden environments of hospitals and nursing homes.
But my friend’s dad is 95 he even recovered from pneumonia. It’s a serious phenomenon, they are getting really good at keeping old people alive. And doctors want to treat them because Medicare doesn’t nickle and dime them with the reimbursements. Meanwhile some 10-year-old kid just died from a tooth infection, his parents couldn’t afford a dentist.
There’s the perennial news story about some doctor scamming all these old geezers by giving them unnecessary angioplasty – there’s a monetary incentive because they have medicare AND health insurance on top of it.
Also if his granny has that spunky attitude, as it sounds like she does, it probably means she has a strong physical constitution, like Reagan did and my mom did (my mom got a STAPH while she was in the hospital, but my doctor said “she’ll still be around when they’re putting me in the ground.”) Some people just have that personality and physical stamina, even if they’ve lose most muscle tone, like my mom.
My mom recovered from 2 broken hips & walked again from both of them. If she’s home, she’ll most likely be fine. Some folks act like being old is the worst thing in the world. I say being Barky’s grandma might be a helluva lot worse than plain old age ’cause he’s an ungrateful little prig with zero manners or sense of propriety. Why go all the way there & not stay for her birthday, for goodness sakes? One more freaking day!! Jeez.
Trust all you want. Vote form him if you want. You say it doesn’t matter in Ca anyway.
Why are you here? What do you add to the discussion? If you want to feel for BO, go to the bot blogs. Or send him an “I hope your Granny is better” card. Just don’t do it here.
We have an election in a few days. Your stuff doesn’t fit.
Why didn’t he visit her when she was in the hospital if he is supposedly so concerned about her?
Annin
my aunt, at the age of 93 got a complete hip replacement, and she helps the family remembering old telephone numbers.
Broken bones, if taken care of, and the person has a good memory, is not the end of the world. Nothing has been told thathisgranny has alzheimer, and such an “old age” ailment is not considered “grave”
Well…If She has a “MIRACLE” Recovery…Then Obama will say he laid hands on her and Prayed for Her…
Remember…He really Believes He is “The ONE”…
Yeh Larry…More Obama Odditys…You know..Very Obvious,…Since we have had a Dimensional Time Warp..
Face It…Thats a Major News Story these Days Right..??
UFO’S UFO’S…
“The Aliens are Coming..The Aliens are Coming..”and We Thought they were all hipanic..NO..!!
Now we Have a Presidental Candidate no one knows the TRUTH about..Is he Possessed..??
He certainly is a UFO in is own Right..
Unidentified
Friggin
Obama
Frankly…(Pun Intended) I think the Russians are Coming…They have already sent everyone else..
In the meantime Obamafest on election night is going to cost $2mill to welcome in the new King!!!
BY FRAN SPIELMAN
Chicago Sun-Times City Hall Reporter
Mayor Daley today put a $2 million price tag on the cost of city services associated with the giant Barack Obama election night rally in Grant Park.
He suggested the United Center as cheaper simpler alternative but was turned down.
The mayor said the cash-flushed Obama campaign has agreed to reimburse the city for those services because Chicago is grappling with a $465 million deficit and is in no position to pay for it.
Asked if he objected to Obama’s decision to hold the rally in Grant Park, Daley said, “Could you see me saying no to Sen. Obama? Give me a break. I’m not that dumb.”
The mayor said the indoor United Center “would be much easier but the campaign so far … wants to do it in the open. They applied for the permit.”
Daley acknowledged that the Grant Park rally would create a logistical nightmare. “You’d have to secure buildings, close down buildings,” he said.
“You need sanitation. … You have to secure the CTA. You have to have traffic people. … You have close streets seven to eight hours before.”
Please don’t tell me that this is your normal American family – Grandad was a pal of Frank Marshall Davis, a communist and admitted sexual predator, and they sat around making up dirty jokes and taking shots of whiskey with Barack, who grandpa saw fit to introduce to Davis at age 10.
Frank Davis the communist child predator IS Nobama’s DAD! Stanley Ann prolly was introduced to sex by her own dad and pawned off to Frank Davis and his wife for threesomes. I read that Frank Davis and Stanley Ann’s Dad fed Stanley Ann whiskey on many occasions.
Lol,lol.lmao!!!1
, but please maverick, don’t exagerate. We know pla frank and grandad use to drink merily but threesomes was not usual on that era!!!,
You really made me laugh with this funny scenario.
MacPalin/08
I am a mixed race family, and we are very normal. The only people we notice that get freaked are people that don’t know us.
The issue of the Hawaii trip I’m with Larry 100%. I think that he would never be going to Hawaii unless there is a PROBLEM there.
His grandmother is the only person that knows the true story of his life, so he has not made even a picture of her taken in the last 25 years available to the press.The circumstances are that she is probably going to be alive after the election, and he will get to spend more time with her then…hopefully as long as he wants to!
The trip during this time would not be feasible in the last 12 days of the race for POTUS, and as you have pointed out it appears his children are not going.
I think he is trying to settle things out , so that he can come up with a birth certificate…I really do.
It is the only plausible answer to this trip at this late date.
His grandmother sadly, has not seemed to be that important, except as a counter point for his racists remarks.
Maybe, Martin has really made some head way with his investigation, or Berg’s pressure is imminent.
We will find out soon.
That story has not established any validity yet.
It’s just bunk.
OT …Check out this video of what people in Ohio are thinking of Obama …Terrorist or communist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJghQMq49dw
the guy who filmed this a total Obama nut…one of the post exposed him. He has some criminal record as well, he goes to McCain rallies trying to get people to say on camera Barry is a terrorist.
Yeah, I heard he forces people to say that at gunpoint.
You people are mad.
get real, kid
I stopped spewing over the media’s hyping Barry. Now I just laugh. And thanks for adding to it. Their actions are so transparent. Maybe that’s why it’s best to make Obama butter. Greasy and when it melts, there’s nothing there.
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/promos/politics/blog/obamabutterhead.jpg
cute.
In front of a wood stove stoked with lots of good seasoned rock maple and roaring nicely would be an excellent spot for that treasure!
don’t forget the chestnuts…..
He is going to Hawaii becasue:
a.The Berg case and his Birth Certificate?
b.Andy Martin investigation – Andy claims that Obamas real father was Davis? sounds crazy.
just wondering
bingo. thats got him worried.
exactly.
The hardest thing to get people to admit to is the obvious.
He is going to Hawaii to keep any information about his birth certificate sealed.
And when we find out that BS really isn’t qualified, it will show the whole world that this man simply isn’t normal, just like Bush. Remember, Obama accuses others of things that are actually true about himself. He says that McCain is just like Bush but Obama is Bush Part 3. FISA, Faith-Based initiatives, now he has Powell on his side!! (What’s next? an endorement from Bush himself??)
BS cares nothing about our Constitution. He wants to get around it because he thinks that he is above it.
I swear, this is the real reason why Shriver is supporting him. Don’t think for one second that Arnold isn’t watching to see how all of this plays out.
Some may say that this sounds crazy.
Yeah, crazy like a fox.
Will he do away with the 22nd amendment? The constitutional amendment that limits Presidential term to 2 four years limits.
If she is actually on her death bed, why aren’t her great grandchildren visiting her? Once again Obama uses granny as a campaign prop.
He uses everything as a campaign prop. There is not a sincere bone in his body. He has never uttered a sincere statement. Its all about barry and he’s up to no good.
Nobama is a hustler con man. He grew up hustling. He takes after his dad communist Frank Davis from Chicago and Hawaii.
and hey educatedwhitewoman
In Frank Marshall Davis’ “fictitious” book he writes about have a threesome that included his wife and an underage girl named Anne.
His life was worse than the Maury show
Gee…it seems like this crowd is really into these fictious autobiographies, what’s up with that
art imitating life, truth is stranger than fiction?
To have this trash potentially occupying the White House is repulsive.
Half of America will consider themselves w/o a president.
Bell’Artista-
Here is link to website that contains an article that includes more detail about the book Mr Davis allegedly wrote…
http://obambi.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/obama-mentor-marxist-poet-frank-marshall-davis/
As I posted earlier-we should not believe everything we read …however we need to keep an open mind.
This ‘book’ -if it exists- needs to be located and verified for authenticity so this story can be refuted if it is false.
Bell’Artista-here is direct link to the article I refer to above on this thread
http://obambi.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/frank-marshall-davis-sexual-perversion-and-rape/
OMG
Bell artista,
I thought Maverick was exagerating!!!
Sorry Maverick but I can visualize ole good granny in threesomes.
Just good ole gossip, I thought. I remember reading about the get together beer ( believe is in one of this books) but not the other info.
If she is on her death bed why did he wait two days to leave? Sure a broken hip can be the beginning of a final slide. My grandmother broke her hip at even older, and lived another 2 or 3 years. If granny isn’t dead by election day this will look even more fishy than it does now.
LJ,
Have you no sense of decency left?
Why has your heart become so blackened with this hatred for Obama?
You need to chill out someplace and stop listening to the bile and venom from Hannity and Limbaugh.
You need to ask why one would hate Obama?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Make yourself a pot of tea and read ALL the archives here starting with all the news about the primaries and the caucuses (cauci) up until the present.
Hannity and Limbaugh don’t report the half of it
Then answer your own question.
None.. no decency left at all After watching the likes of barry and his handlers try to destroy this country… we are fresh out of decency none left …. we are imitating barry and the dnc now…go away
Actually it is the bile and venom from you Obots which have caused us to dislike Obama.
Nobama=NOT PRESIDENTIAL!=hustler=con man=domestic terrorist=liar=dangerous to the national security=wait until his white voters get thrown on the train and taken to the camps..
Never watched or listened to either one of them, ever. I voted for Obama. Now where are you going to shove me? A typical white?
Well this I will tell you. Barack Obama and his bitter wife are the most loathsome racists I know.
Anyone with an open mind can see that. It was hidden at first but the vileness keeps coming out. Nothing would I put past them to gain the White House, nothing.
McCain/Palin
I’ll say this. This is an ugly thread.
Very ugly.
If I were debating how to vote, this is the type of thread that would shove me to the Democrats.
I continue to insist that I’m voting Republican because I believe the party is ready to turn away from this type of thinking, and this type of politics.
We have real issues to face.
And this is not one of them.
*stubbornly insisting here on integrity*
who gives a fk what you think? i mean really?
who asked?
you really think too highly of yourself
it’s all relative
if you don’t like it ?
dah
leave
*BLINK*
ok, so you want this to be the Huffington Post of the right-wing?
Got it.
relax, anninCA. read larrys post again. It raises legitimate questions. please dont get upset. we hate both extremes (right and left wing)
LOL*…..OK, Benny, I read your message just at the same time I was thinking, “Get off this thread, you’re making people nuts again.”
I just think this business of the public deciding when someone should pay respects is nuts.
I’ve buried my close ones. Every death is different. Some are alarming….rush. Some are not…immenent, but definitely headed in that direction.
I’ve learned that death does not fulfill stereotypes.
Each and every one is different.
And so has been my personal experience.
I abhor all this judgmentalism.
It’s ridiculous.
Everyone has to deal with their family.
But…I still say, th, is is not relevant to poltics.
And back to real issues….
Obama has bad policie for the country going forward, plus the baggage of a very weak Democratic party.
I am voting McCain. I think he’s forward thinking, and he has the skills to execute.
ok, this is the deal. when I kick the bucket, make sure you bury me. (a bit morbid, but funny all the same).
you said that not me
you say a LOT of shit
then you bitch and complain about it
I (personally) don’t give a shiate what “YOU” have decided this blog is or is not
I come here bECAUSE of Larry
not because of some random ann in ca and
yet you talk like your voice is more important than most
gets O L D ANN (if that is your real name and game)
You know, Dawnelle, I made a living at communications.
My apologies if I’m good at it.
I really don’t think I have any answers for this country at all.
I personally, and this is an admission, cannot figure out how in the world we’ll ever get this economy perking again.
It’s not going to be shopping, that much I know.
We are in a global mess.
I think, think…….the solution is some business people who are willing to not get filthy rich.
We can reignite our economy, but they must be committed to getting out of the game.
Will they?
I don’t know.
As far as my posting style?
I just did it for a living. Don’t take my posts so seriously. I post in a “direct style.” That was my job for many years.
It has little to do with what I think I think I know.
I will say this. I was a lifelong Democrat for good reason.
I’m not about to become some right-wing kool-aid drinker who chases after birth certificates or other nonsense.
I think the Republican party has a real shot at remaking itself into representing the middle voter.
That’s why I’m excited.
Your ego is showing know-it-all and it ain’t pretty.
and I apologize to other bloggers for blurting out but I have just about had enough bloviating (SP) from the MSM so I sure don’t want to hear it from some random power chatter here!
and I cuss too much but I rarely get off on my OWN words as much as it appears some OTHER do
blech
now THAT is ugly
is this the real AnninCA?
“you want this to be the Huffington Post of the right-wing?”
Anyone who is a regular here wouldn’t make such a remark.
so continue living in lala land and listening to cnn and msnbc – they’ll tell you what you want to hear nothing more. But some of us take electing our president very serious, after all he/she will be governing over us.
Too bad the truth about Obama is ugly.
This thread is addressing Obama’s character, or lack there of. You don’t think that is important? He has demonstrated over and over that his character is seriously lacking. Didn’t MLK say he was looking forward to the day when people would be judged by the content of their character?
Really ritamary?
And are you a fan of MLK? Or do you think that he was a troublemaker?
And what of General Powell’s endorsement – in your opinion was it because of race?
I am a lifelong Democrat. Who are you JF?
I think MLK was a hero, unlike Colin Powell. How many WHITE liberal Democrats with thin resumes has Colin Powell endorsed recently?
Anyway what value does Powell’s endorsement have? He went to the UN and lied about WMD in Iraq. If Obama is so much against the invasion of Iraq why would he want Powell’s endorsement?
I am also a lifelong Democrat. A real Democrat who cares about the issues of the War in Iraq, the economy, the environment, education, etc.
I agree with you that Powell lost a lot of credibility, but he is still a respected national figure. The Powell endorsement is mostly a repudiation of McCain and the GOP.
Ritamary, can I ask what is your single biggest beef with Obama?
My biggest beef with Obama is his constant lying. Once a person is caught in a lie, it is difficult to have any confidence in him.
Should I elaborate on the most bothersome lies? The Clintons are racists, Obama did not know what Reverend Wright’s views are, Ayers is just a guy in his neighborhood, his campaign adviser did not meet with the Canadian consulate to discuss NAFTA, he would vote against the FISA bill, Rezko is someone he did just five hours of work for… Should I continue?
“A lifelong Democrat.” Bullshit. You repeat Rush Limbaugh almost word for word with your “How many WHITE liberal Democrats with thin resumes has Colin Powell endorsed recently?”
This whole site is proof that there’s no bottom to stupid.
get real. you’re just plain wrong.
If Rush Limbaugh says something that is true, why shouldn’t I repeat it? Again trying to limit freedom of speech?
You’re free to spout your crap, just as I’m free to counter it until I get banned by the free-speech-loving NQ staff.
AnninCA, why don’t you just head on over to HuffPo, where I am sure they are having a pity party for “The One” and writing all their heartfelt thoughts to him. If we are so bad, then go elsewhere, please.
ANNin CA is a partisan OBOT. Bite it!
Nothing has changed here except you and your support for Barky.
“bama is making surw she stays QUIET! she prolly threatened him ! If he is “elected” he will now be known as The Obammunist LOOTER in CHIEF!!!
UGHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Azzwipes on MSNBO just NOW discussing how the REPUBLICANS will have to deal with it when Obama wins as they are just so sure he will!
Talking down their blow hole noses like they are just so sure Barry’s got it!
NOT
I can’t STAND SMUG ELITE MEDIA POOF PIECES
MSNBO is nothing but POOF
LJ,
Seriously, what happened to you man?
I know you’re a lifelong Republican who got pissed off with the current administration over Valerie Plame.
But you eventually went back home to your roots.
Still, what’s the deal with this over the top hatred for Obama?
Did you get passed over for a promotion by a black guy and now want to take it out on Obama or something?
You have become really unhinged.
For the oborg it’s about other peoples racism. It’s always about other peoples racism.
hadenough, benny, barry bums a ciggie, and blog force one,
I actually never called LJ a racist. I’m just trying to understand what the guy’s problem is with Obama.
But I will place a bet that each and every one of you is white. Am I right or am I right?
For the oborg its about other peoples racism. It’s always about other peoples racism.
You are wrong, but what is your point? White people aren’t allowed to have opinions? Maybe you can get a job at a re-education camp if Dear Leader is elected. YOU are the racist for even bringing this up.
My point ritamary, is don’t try to quote MLK, ok?
You are out of your league.
I love how people are so defensive about being racist.
You mean in the whole country there are no racists?
On this website there are no racists?
C’mon, just embrace it. It’ll make you feel better.
Fortunately, there are enough good people in this country that a black man will be elected President of this country on Nov 4.
What will all of you do when he wins?
I love how the oborg are all about pointing out what they precieve as other peoples racism. For the oborg it’s always about other peoples racism.
poor JF. Its really stupid to label all who dont feel obama is qualified to be pres as racists. and I’m not white.
Yeah, JF, there are racists in this country…Barack and Michelle Obama and their beloved pastor, Rev. Wright.
You, JF, are the racist on this site.
We dont have to worry about it cause he wont win!!
jf, you are all about race not us. that makes you racist. so toddle on home to obambiland.
You seem to jump to conclusions about people posting here. Who are you to tell anyone who to quote? Are you trying to restrict freedom of speech?
I did quote MLK and I will do it when a quote from him is relevant. He wanted us to judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. When will you Obots start doing that?
wrong.
jf: You are WRONG. I am a black female former Hillary supporter. I agree with at least 95% of the comments on this blog. I especially love Larry because he “hits the nail on the head”. I wish I could contact him to enlighten him about other aspects of the lying, cheating, racist, phony, Obama. He is disgusting in every respects. A man who seems to hate his mother, tolerate and use his grandmother for political purposes and love/hate his father. A psychologically messed up dude who wants to be POTUS for the wrong reasons like Bush II. Last night I was called by the DSCC soliciting for dems and Obama. Although I was until recently a lifelong dem, I gave the little Obot many reasons why I was not voting for dems this year and especially Obama. I wish I could list the reasons I cited but the little turd was flabergasted with the knowledge I provided him for at least 45 minutes. OBAMA IS A PHONY!!. No one should want a phony for president, I certainly do not.
calling LJ racist is the last curse of the obamacrat. lol. happens to all of us. If we dont believe obama is qualified to be pres, we’re racists. lol, how stupid!
here goes the race thing again…we all have grudges against barry soetoro because we all think we’ve been wrong by someone of color. Obots are pathetic.
Larry tells the truth ..deal with it,\.
unhinged? that’s an OBOT word which means that only hinges can become unhinged OBOT! Hating Barky is easy. No reason needed but in case you missed it, there is a list as long as the empire state building on how dangerous Barfy is for America. In the first few days in Office there will be a terrorist attack and Barky will do NOTHING! as Bin Biden says……..go read it!
AnninCA
I truly do understand wanting integrity and the “high road” honestly I do…..
however, when one is shown over and over and over that one’s opponent has zero integrity and is fraudulent and associated with people that are beneath contempt, do you really believe that the appropriate action is to turn the other cheek and pretend that Obama is who Obama says he is?
I used to be a Dem and was a delegate for Hill but this is not even politics as usual,
There is nothing usual about this election or this campaign , Obama has proven himself to be a fraudulent narcissist without a moral compass……
how would you suggest one fight him….by believing him?
I can’t, because I don’t.
I can’t believe Obama either. Mainly because he hasn’t gave me any reason to, but to the contrary he has given me PLENTY of reason not to believe him.
Ann is partisan and votes for any dem slob they put in front of her. She votes Barky just for the “D”..inspite of what danger he brings to the security of this country.
Maybe LJ’s sources misheard and actually Michelle Obama had a “Whitney Tape”. . . just sayin’
Let’s call a spade, a spade. We’ve been hearing about the “gravely ill” granny since Monday. Fine, she’s ill and absolutely Obama should go see her. However, what we’re calling out here is his constant Politickin to paint himself as this “normal” guy who is visiting his sick granny. Fact 1: News out on Monday, he is off to visit her on Thursday(!!)…even granny took a back seat to Ellen! Fact 2: Why announce it at all? He has a private plane, gather the family and get on that plane to see sick granny. If the word gets out, then the word gets out. Family first, all else second. And why is he bringing his press along? If filmed footage of him sitting next to granny lying in bed gets out, then you know this guy is the biggest FRAUD there is. NO ONE should use their ailing grandmother to get an image boost, pure and simple. The media is all over the $150K image make over for Palin. Why is talking a bout his character or lack thereof a no no?
well maybe Baracktrack is still upset he couldn’t bring is press club to the military hospital… you remember, when he cancled visiting the troops because they wouldn’t let him make a photo op out of the wounded troops?
maybe he feels he still needs that photo of him standing over someone dying?
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Exactly. If his Granny is sick go to friggin HI as soon as you get the news, Not days later after you have to photo op and interview to say how important it is for people to care for their families.. Everything about Obama is to put Obama in the best PR inage. It’s all about image. The man is a classsic narcisscist. It doesn’t matter what he does or what he thinks as long as he looks and sounds good and can con more voters to project their wishes and dreams on his blank screen.
AnninCA – No offense but every single day, on every thread, you threaten to go vote Dem. Go ahead, once and for all. One vote isn’t going to kill us. I just don’t get why you think it’s okay to rail on people having discussions about the TRUTH about Obama. Why would you post here if you have so much contempt for the problems Obama has and why people hate him? The Daily Kook is the place to go for that isn’t it?
Check out this poll, and IBD/TIPP is the MOST reliable poll out there
(Oct. 23, 2008): “IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll: Day Eleven” (IBD) Obama 44.8, McCain 43.7
Quote:
McCain has cut into Obama’s lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

do you have a link for that?
no wonder Obamasan had to go to hawaii
go mac go!
Yesterday, I was watching Fox (can’t believe I now watch FOX) and Newt Gingrich kept on saying “the fix is in” when he spoke about the elite media and what CNN’s Griffin did to Palin in that bogus interview. I hope the undecided voters got stirred up like I did, I hope they felt their anger rise and will come out Nov. 4th and vote for the underdog, Mac/Palin.
Of course the fix is in, they want Obama to win in the worst possible way because he is the most leftist liberal they have seen since Jimmy Carter. U want to know how to shut up a liberal’s mouth, compare Obama to Carter, I was at my uncle’s birthday party on Saturday, had a huge political fight with my cousin who is a lib voting for Obama, kept on going on and on about how McCain is Bush, so I said, Obama is Jimmy Carter, NOT ANOTHER WORD CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH, This is how McCain can win the election, compare Obama to Carter and he has this thing won. You know what I would love Sarah to go, I know she won’t do this but I wish she would, go have a press conference and say “Hey CNN, MSNBC, F U!!” and then she can say “You can all kiss this Alaskan’s white ass” I tell ya, she might get some supporters there just for telling off the media. I know she won’t do it but damn I wish she would
Very cool…thanks!
This is the poll Karl Rove said was the most accurate of all the polls in the last 2 races..He explained it on FOX one evening…This is good news….Go McCain
Country First
Is she supposed to be the “..typical white grandma..”?

Hey OBAMA IS A FRAUD, Do you know Bettina?

Hey OBAMA IS A FRAUD, Do you know Bettina?
==========================================
I AM Bettina LOL.
Hey OBAMA IS A FRAUD; Hey Batface!!!
I’m not convinced he even has a grandmother…We’ve never seen her…He had a chance to go to Hawaii in the Primaries,and Axelrod said no…So if Obama’s grandmother was so important,Why didn’t he take the opportunity to go to visit her than…
It’s a mystery alright… Who is this Mrs Dunham?
Some of the posts here defy logic when it comes to the birth certificate issue — if Obama’s going to HI because of the BC, then that suggests he was born in HI, doesn’t it? And if Frank Marshall Davis is truly his father (seems quite a stretch to me), then that makes Obama a US citizen.
I’ll say it again (as I duck virtual flying objects) that I think these kinds of conspiracy theories hurt the cause and make us look silly. Or worse.
I’m anticipating remarks about the grandmother having an actual Kenyan or Indonesian BC/document in her possession and that’s what Obama wants to get his hands on. But if that were the case he would’ve confiscated them before now — this BC conspiracy has been going on for a long time.
I still contend this HI trip is to improve his standing among elderly white voters.
Still doesn’t change the fact that he was adopted by Lolo, became an Indonesian citizen, and more than likely, traveled to Pakistan as an Indonesian citizen during a time in which the country was banned on the US citizen travel list.
Doesn’t make us look silly at all.
Frank Marshal Davis had sex with a 13 year old girl by the name of ANN– same as yObama’s momma’s name. So she (Ann)flys to Kenya and the kid is born there. Obama is Frank’s son and he was born in Kenya. So what if Ann had an affair with Frank after she married Obama senior? Helluva family-HELLUVA FAMILY.
If Davis is his father then that makes him Dead to the Muslims of the world, Dead to the Africans, and Dead to people who believed his ‘father was a goat herder’ story.
Does it matter to you that you and the world has been lied to ALL THIS FUCKING TIME.
If he’s lying about the basics (and getting away with it) what does that say about the press who’s job is to inform, and indeed what does that say about people JUST LIKE YOU who are foolish enough to make excuses for him? What does that say about YOU?
There are too many reasons why I won’t vote for Obama, including the proven and verifiable: anti-American associations he’s had/has, his voting record, his Black Liberation Theology, his near-daily change in political positions/plans to govern, his semblance to a Bush III presidency, his planned Youth Corps/Public Allies, involvement with ACORN, secrecy about campaign contributions — many of which seem fraudulent at best and illegal at worst, his secrecy about his past, trying to buy the presidency, his inexperience, his arrogance, his wife, his misogyny, dismissing any opposition as racism, fascist attempts to curtail political discourse, lying about McCain, the ugliness/hatefulness of many of his supporters, media bias and complicity, primary/caucus fraud, rising from the swamp of Chicago politics…
So, there are enough reasons for me to doubt his character and agenda without jumping on the place-of-birth bandwagon. If this subject is ever laid to rest in his favor, it will make us look foolish. So it seems to me to be an unnecessarily risky position to take which could backfire. Just sayin’…
Nothing about requiring a presidential candidate to produce is birth certificate is goiong to be foolish.
Nothing about protecting the constitution is foolish.
It is an issue, and likely will continue even if he is elected. These are basic eligibility criteria that must be met.
This is what it would take to bring him down, all right, though I expect the Oborg would immediately turn it into a sympathy story. Poor Barry, the product of a dysfunctional family. Could there be a little more proof hanging around out there? Pretty amazing that in one day we have Andy Martin’s story, some ancient racy photos, O.s sudden desire to drop in on Hawaii–anything else? All it would take would be, oh, a BC with Frank Davis (or no one at all) as the father. Or something like that. By the way, surely the FBI had a fat dossier on all of Davis’ friends as well, and Hawaii wasn’t so populated then, it’s easy to think the Dunhams were watched too.
Researcher Don Nicoloff has discovered so many anomalies, discrepencies, lies, obfuscations and inconsistencies with the “official” Obama story that no one—probably not even Obama himself—can truly claim to know who he really is or where he came from.
Read part 3 of “The three stooges go to Washington”. Very interesting “The real Story” about BO relatives.
offtopic, but important….
the dow is sinking again… this is crazy. the dow is sinking everyday….except a day or two when it picks up. but the gains are wiped out on the very next day. somehow, they better stop the slide. this is getting very serious, folks.

Check out what some Ohio folks think of Obama
According to the Obama campaign, the good people of Cleveland are going to be treated to a concert by Jay-Z next Wednesday. I wonder if the media will report that he recently dedicated his “99 Problems” hit to John McCain and Sarah Palin. I don’t think Obama’s grandmother would approve.
Gee, I thought “99 Problems” was dedicated to Hillary. Or was that just the “Bros before hos” t-shirt?

The big ten Ohio poll has a plus 12 for dem voters. The cnn exit poll from 2004 had plus 5 repubs. I know george bush destroyed the repub party but a swing that big seems not only wrong but outragous.

Hey OBAMA IS A FRAUD; Hey Batface!!!
==========================================
Batface? SHEILA? Is that you? I would have figured you for a crazy lunatic wingnut OHitler supporter LMFAO.
this thing is so deep and so sordid…..so sad.
Hadenough I am confused – it says results September 2008 on your post?????
Copied part of the old title by mistake. Check the link.
I realy believe that Obama is going there for 2 reasons, one to visit granma and other on business.. If Obama realy had those proof of citizen records, he would have turned them in before now and that would have been the end of it..
Now Mr. Johnson, We all know BO would NEVER save any cheese doddles for grandma. He just doesn’t have it ‘em to be a man. What a mouse.
TEAKKKKKKKK!!
I want some CHEESY POOFS!!!
Congrats on the news of the continuation of the kite tail! How is the new grand daughter?
Hey Bettina
I was a Hillary supporter, and I saw how this whole thing has played out and I will NOT be voting for Obamba!!!!! How have u been?
Why hasn’t the media discussed the failure of Obama health plan in Hawaii been reported? Why hasn’t he given the courts what they want, his birth certificate, his school records. Then there’s ACORN, AYERS, REV. WRIGHT, REZKO and heaven only knows what else. The media continue to suppress all this information from the public. Wake up AMERICA before it’s too late. Obama is a Fraud. Doesn’t the media care of what happens to this country. Are they so committed to Obama that they are willing to destroy our system of government? If the media has discovered it and has not reported it to the public, then they should be censured. Another question is, why didn’t he take his children with him?
It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. His grandmother in Kenya states in an interview “how proud she is at haven been at his birth”. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist. This is why he going to Hawaii, the law suit. Why has he refused to present all his school records? Why hasn’t he given the courts what they want, his birth certificate. Then there’s ACORN, AYERS, REV. WRIGHT and heaven only knows what else. The media continue to suppress all this information from the public. Wake up AMERICA before it’s too late. Obama is a Fraud. Doesn’t the media care of what happens to this country. Are they so committed to Obama that they are willing to destroy our system of government? If the media has discovered it and has not reported it to the public, then they should be censured.
The woman in Kenya is not Obama’s grandmother. She is a co-wife of Obama’s polygamist grandfather. There are no pictures or interviews of Obama’s Kenyan grandmother. She left the family many years ago.
So many different stories going around about Obama. Has there every been a presidential candidate in our history with such a convoluted past?
I hope that Obama’s grandmother is doing fine, but I keep thinking that Obama’s timing is strange. Why has he waited several days to make his visit?
Has anyone ever watched the reality show Survivor? Did you watch the one with the devious Johnny Fairplay? Johnny and his friend had cooked up a story before he left for the island to say that Johnny’s grandmother had died. This caused sympathy among the other suvivors and they allowed Fairplay to win a coveted challange. Fairplay used this lie to get him to the number three spot, even swearing on his grandmother’s grave to gain alliances. Fairplay’s grandmother had not died. It was a ploy to get him further in the show. He was good at deception and even the producers fell for his lie.
I can’t help but wonder what Obama is up to. It is hard for me to believe anything he says. He wasn’t at his mothers bedside when she died.
Yeah. And she’s probably not really his grandma!
You people are proof that we will never reach Peak Wingnut.
I hope Mrs. Dunham recovers fully and Obama has plenty of free time to visit her after November 4.
Amen.
When I found out my granma was dieing, I dropped everthing I was doing to go see her and right after I got there, she died in my arms.. I have never regretted being there for her.. I told her “I love you.” She said she loved me too, then she was gone..
BATFACE….Busy. Hating this election BIG TIME. I am miserable and will never get this involved again. The Obama Campaign and DNC, the treatment of Hillary, the sickness that IS Obama, the virus of hate and thuggery he is spreading, all of it…makes me puke. For the first time in my life I am considering giving up the career I have fought for for almost 30 years and leaving my country. Gigi, Sophie and I have talked about going to Italy, but I am leaning towards Costa Rica. If OHitler wins, it violates EVERY single thing I know about America and the honor, decency and respect we have as a nation. I’m APPALLED. Making that documentary almost made my physically ill. Ughhh….I really am miserable and sad. How are you and the gorgeous baby girl? By the way, you do know there is a Hollywood secret society for GOP folks. If you are crazy and staying Dem, fine. But if you want to leave the dark side, come to a lunch with me. GREAT PEOPLE.
PS for everyone…from Hillary about the fraud. She knows it happened.
http://www.stentorian.com/Obama/clinton_complaint.pdf
I have to agree with you… I saw the fraud in Texas also.
The “new” Democratic party is anti Democracy.
The “liberal media” are humping those big ten battle ground polls pretty hard. The voter ID seems to be way off.
Big Ten Battleground Poll: Indiana
Party ID
33 republican
31.3 democrat
http://www.bigtenpoll.org/results20081023/indiana.html
cnn 2004 exit poll voter ID for Indiana:
46% republican
32% democrat
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/IN/P/00/
Same as their Ohio poll. big ten uses a plus 12% dem advantage compared to the cnn 2004 exit polls. Way off. No excuse. Outrageous.
I left the Democratic Party over their treatment of Hillary. Everyone knew she was the best candidate and I saw how the DNC and Obama and his thugs stole it from her. I am just as sick as you are over what is happening to this country. We are going to become a WELFARE nation. You know my mom was born in Costa Rica so I could actually apply for dual citizenship. Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
I went back to the Republican Party so I definitely want to have lunch with you. My daughter is awesome. Thanks for asking.I would love to catch up with you. Please call me. I’m at my office. I can’t believe it’s you. I’ve been on this site for months now. It’s one of the few places you find people that haven’t drank the Kook-Aid!!!

Okay well you have to come to these events for the Hollywood GOP. The people are AMAZING. They are SO different from these whiny, crazy liberals who hate everyone and everything. I’m SICK of it. You know what it’s like living and working in this business. Ughhh….COSTA RICA HERE I COME. I actually am going to go take a conversational Spanish class to make sure I can get by there. Will call you BATFACE. Love and miss you.
Lars…You deserve the Sh**thole you will live in if God forbid Obama wins. Pansies like you won’t be able to tolerate it and you will sit in your mommy’s lap and suck your thumb when your freedoms are all gone. Kind of like BLOGGING HERE which Nancy Pelosi already wants to stop. Because scumbags like YOU have never read this thing called THE CONSTITUTION. Must be great sitting in your mommy’s basement in GAZA blogging for 5 Cents a Post in your underwear. Get over it. Obama is a has been and this country belongs to AMERICANS. REAL AMERICANS. Not Socialist wingnuts who idolize Hugo, Che and Fidel. Grow up and get a real job. Joe the Plumber says you won’t be cashing HIS paycheck any time soon.
ok so this election really will come down to independents
looks like MORE X republicans have become Indies
the DEM numbers stayed pretty much the same
that’s good because the X Republicans will NEVER vote against their country (even if they now call themselves Dems)
Mack has done a pretty good job of securing the “I love my country” voters. No matter what the trolls may claim. You wouldn’t vote for an incompetent with a hater for a mentor and a dirty land deal and throwing the race card at the drop of a hat! Nope I don’t think the Indies are at ALL truly voting for BAmbi. Nope. Doesn’t make any sense.
This is now a class warfare election for me.
Has anyone asked…
WHO IS PAYING FOR BARACK’S TRIP TO HAWAII????
HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS TRIP IS FOR PERSONAL REASONS
IS HE USING CAMPAIGN FUNDS?
IS HE USING THE CAMPAIGN PLANE???
good point they were so got dam worried about Sarah and her family getting some new threads for the trail
I thought Anderson Pooper would bust a gut!! He’s jealous. All those free plane rides for the whole family. (they’re ONLY THE FAMILY OF THE potential VP – dee,dee,dee)
gawdd – oh no and a pretty new dress for Piper – some one arrest them!!! It just NOT right!! New clothes for the kids. OMG that’s like stealing or something!
(spit)
fyi – if the media is so worried
I’d gladly add to a blog collection to pay for the clothes!
Some ahole on Beck’s channel yesterday on the phone said they should have bought their clothes at Walmart like ONLY republicans shop there.
STUPID PEOPLE LOSE ELECTIONS
RNC Paying for the VP candidates family expenses on the trail is bad? And gluttons MEchelle Obama and her husband eat a $500/plate of Lobster and Caviar on donated campaign funds but that’s okay?
That’s what the RNC is supposed to do…pay for Republican candidates campaign expenses.
MSM and Obot trolls whine waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much about things that are none of their business. The $150,000 did not come from the corrupt DNC so take my advice: SHUT THE F UP ABOUT IT ALREADY and mind your own business.
Breaking: New poll shows Russell over Murtha, 48-35
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/23/breaking-new-poll-shows-russell-over-murtha-48-35/
lol good timing
HARP gives you Exhibit A
lol
Couldn’t be happening to a more deserving felllow. What the hell has happened to John Murtha? It’s in the water, I tell you!!!!!
it’s got to be
he was also one of my heroes
they are dropping like flies
Excellent!
Stupid is as stupid does. Maybe Murtha will come out today and yet again and “refine” his statement, and refer to the good people of Western PA as “white trash”. This moron makes Biden almost look halfway intelligent!
Great comment from the FOX article about the race tightening.
I think it probable Murtha is send smoke signals, as a captive/hostage of The Precious.
Goes to show ya, insulting your constituents is not really a good campaign strategy, believe it or not.
If I was granny, I would fear for my life….just saying
Sneaking off to “comfort” granny is the only way he can think of to get off the trail for the every two week rest that he seems to need. Someone needs to be asking serious questions about his MEDICAL RECORDS. McCain has more stamina than this punk.
He loves his grandma so much the only picture of them together is over 20 years old.All those birthdays,xmas gatherings and there are no other pictures of them together.This is his second trip to hawaii and he leaves behind his wife and kids at a critical time like this?You obama lovers are all brainwashed.
If the media did their job they would follow the b*stard around Hawaii to see how much time he spends with his typical white granny.
If she is so sick, why is her brother waiting until her birthday to go? She may not make it. “Payne is planning to fly there for her 86th birthday, which is Sunday.”
The biggest question is… Why has Obama allowed the media to parade his family in Africa around, but keeps his American ties hush, hush? (By the way, I don’t believe that the people he says are his relatives in Africa truly are. They can’t keep their story straight over there.)
Why isn’t the media reporting that Obama may not be a born US citizen?
Mr. Andy Martin is in Hawaii “The Obama investigation in Hawai Part Two
Obama’s Hawaii Years: The truth finally revealed Obama’s tortured
family life and secrets. His grandmother has been sick for a while, and no visit
by Obama. When he visits his loving grandmother the children don’t visit with him.
There is something wrong here. Is the media really willing to turn over the country
to a person we really don’t know. A person who associate with known terrorist , and people that hate America. Wake up America we may lose many freedom we took for granted.
Get a grip, Larry. The John McCain you knew and loved left the room a long, long time ago. The “independent” John McCain who could reach across the aisle and speak to independents and moderate Democrats was afraid he couldn’t bring along the Republican base, so he hired a bunch of Karl Rove toadies–the same guys who tried to shred his character while they were working for W. in the 2000 primaries and the same people who decided your friend Val P. was “fair game.” That’s who designed John McCain’s general election campaign, and it’s working–McCain has re-claimed the Republican base. Unfortunately, the independents and moderate Democrats he used to attract are disgusted and leaving in droves for Obama.
The John McCain you used to know is being held prisoner somewhere. The guy you see on TV running for president is Karl Rove in bad John McCain makeup. You’re being left out in the cold, buddy, making up arguments for a candidate who doesn’t even exist anymore in the way he did when he started running however many months ago it was when this campaign started.
And whatever happened to Larry Johnson that Obama can’t even visit his grandmother without some deep, dark motive being attached to it? Good Lord, take a look at yourself, buddy. You need a break!
you lack critical thinking. you deserve a break.
Well there’s a well-reasoned, specific argument, kind of like “and I know how to fix it.” I suggest you look at the back door of the Republican tent and look at all the prominent moderate Republicans heading for the exit. Of course, John McCain has Joe Lieberman, but it looks like no one’s following him. In fact, it looks like there’s a good chance his fellow Connecticut resident, Chris Shays, the only Republican congressman from New England may not make it.
While everyone on this blog keeps ranting nonsense about Obama, you’re missing the bigger picture–It’s not just about Obama. The “permanent Republican majority” is dead, and the entire Republican party appears to be heading for a defeat of historic proportions on November 4. Like everything else, that will be temporary, too, but really. Something big is happening, and you folks are focusing on things that are way too small.
Vote for McCain if you like, but there are better reasons for doing that than the ones I see posted on this blog.
