This is a great article and the clinging of “cheap Odrama cologne” analogy is so appropriate!….

Hillary Clinton fought hard against the Obamabots and the DNC’s refusal to vet properly this empty suit with “gonnections” from the Chicago political rat-sewers….

Maybe using the “Jon Favreau” misogynist cologne will bring him more bad luck….What a fraud!

You’ve hit the nail on the head! Wasn’t it amazing how quickly the obama camp moved his transition team to Chicago? I’m sure it was to give Richie full access and control of the money and to give his approval of those obama chose to be in his cabinent.

I’m certain the obama camp is relying on the majority of the country not being up-to-date on chicago politics and how it works. First and foremost, obama would NEVER have risen as far and as fast politically, if he weren’t literally in the pocket of Richie Daley. No one rises in political power in Chicago without the approval of Daley, period. obama sold his soul a long time ago to Daley. It was reported that they met behind closed doors not long before obama’s decided to run for the presidency. After that meeting, Daley “quietly” gave his endorsement of obama. This may also explain why Teddy Kennedy so quickly and vigorously endorsed obama’s candidacy. Remember, it was Richie’s daddy who rigged the election results in Chicago so that Teddy’s brother could win the presidency in 1960.

obama is nothing new in politics. He’s the absolute worst that politics has to offer because he’s the kind of politician that can make people believe that he is who they want him to be, and the truth be damned.

obama is like a cult. The definition of a cult is when someone asks you not to think for yourself but to believe everything they say, without question.

That is what makes obama so dangerous to our democracy because without dissent, there is no democracy.

Obama in a way was the dream of the machine. Chicagoans knew that Richie Daley would never have what it took as a politician on a national scale to move beyond the mayor’s post and broaden his influence. Obama was Richie’s back door way of gaining entrance to the White House. Big surprise that Valerie Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel are some of Obama’s closest aides. Valerie Jarrett, as we know, was formerly an aide to Richie Daley. So, Richie had the machine, and Obama had the speaking skills, the youth and the racial profile to grab voter attention. A perfect match. But what happens now that Richie’s machine is imploded by the wonder boy Blagojevich? Who will Obama cling to for circulating his party directives? Will they heed his rule? We know that the Kennedys are in there and the Clintons–sort of–will those establishment people take orders from the upstart Obama? And when the dirt starts to fall out on the Obama team’s upper echelons, who will be in there to provide backing?

But polls don’t pay the bills, fix the economy, pay your mortgage, or save your job.

Welcome to the American Idol Century. You don’t have to do anything and you can be associated with all of these corrupt people. But that’s okay. As long as you’re popular! Like in high school!

Every time that Obama says “let me be clear” of “as I have always said”..some lie is going to come out of his mouth.

There was nothing wrong with admitting that the admin representative talked to the Governor. Blago is the Gov of Ill. Who else are they going to talk to? I have no clue how Obama thinks he is so smart that other people don’t know or can’t find out who talked to who. You think he would have learned his lesson after the NAFTA/Canada deception. But no, his need to keep his manufactured image is more important than just telling the truth. Unfortunately, even though there might be nothing from this whole exchange..the stage has been set again. The shadow has been cast. Obama has fallen into his own self made deception. Now we have to count on this guy to lead the country and tackle the multiple and serious challenges facing our country and the world.

The only upside to this whole thing is that the media isn’t focused on that demon,Hillary Clinton. I am waiting for someone to say this is her fault also.

Obama is clearly losing goodwill points every day that Blago-gate drags on.

One of my law professors warned us about judges who use “clearly” to gloss over points that are far from clear.

It’s certainly possible that this could hurt Obama’s approval, but there is no evidence, clear or otherwise, that it has so far.

All he really is confirming is that Obama brings it to whatever level he requires to get the job done. Of course he’s the penultimate strategist, but with all the skill in the world (which he does not have) one’s baser instincts evenutally win out.

Obama will get caught in his intricate web, if he hasn’t already.

As for Ayers and Alinsky? Those two peaceniks (not) really look out for the little guy. When they’re not planting bombs or advocating the overthrow of the government.

Yes, Obama fought against Daley using Alinsky and Ayers. Except when he didn’t. How’s them schools doing in Chicago? Public housing? Not so good?
Yeah Obama fought. NOT.

6 December 2008: I’ve been keeping an eye on the Internet forums and chat rooms used by Islamic terrorists for many, many years now and am well aware of certain patterns within these channels of distribution. Patterns are better known as “Chatter,” and specific chatter is what one focuses on when investigating the various channels of distribution of these communiqués.

Notably, in the last five days the amount of materials related to homemade explosives, VBIED’s [Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices], details on blowing up buildings, bridges and various infrastructure are up by about 400% - 500% over normal rate.

Meaning that on any typical day there are several manuals available as an archived or older piece and available for download, but recently there is a huge influx of Explosives, Manufacturing and Training Manuals into the “current” sections of these websites. This means they are the topic of conversations and the files are being downloaded at an alarming rate when compared to the normal flow of these items.

The VBIED files are specifically for “Use of Vehicles against Buildings” and bypassing security barriers designed to stop vehicles. The additional primary manuals showing up through these venues are for sabotaging various infrastructure such as electrical power stations, bridges, telecommunications, etc.

There is no specific mention of any operational plans or targets. There hardly ever are specifics in these channels. The upsurge in manuals and materials however does raise concerns.

We will keep monitoring this.

Be Safe. Stay Vigilant.
