Obama Irrelevant, Dems Want McCain to Help Fix the Financial Meltdown

Obama & DNC Hide Behind Legal Issues While Betraying Public in not Producing a Certified Copy of Obama’s “Vault” Birth Certificate and Oath of Allegiance
Country is Headed to a Constitutional Crisis

(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 09/24/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss on the last day to file a response, for the obvious purpose of delaying Court action in the case of Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by delaying the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama was “natural born.”

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. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

The order in which you should perform your tasks are:
1) Urgent and important
2) Important
3) Urgent but unimportant
4) Unimportant

To Mr. McCain the potential of a complete financial meltdown is of category 1) and the debate is of category 2) at best. For Mr. Obama, getting elected is of category 1) and to give him the benefit of the doubt the welfare of the country and keeping us out of a financial meltdown is at best, category 2). It is very telling as to the characters of the individuals involved. By himself, McCain will not make a huge difference except as to perhaps serve as a bi-partisan catalyst to forge a plan that keeps the country’s economy afloat. By contrast Obama thinks that teleprompter time is more important than his country. We are paying him a salary to serve as a Senator. The least he can do is to show up when there is a major crisis at hand.

I believe John Mccain just want to say while he was workign Barack Obama was studying for a debate. Then Mccain will go to the debate and knock it out of the ball park. Obama will look very inexperience with his 3 days of study and miserable performance in tomorrows debate.

A great move by Mccain to draw more attention to the debate. He knew Obama would not postpone and John was well prepared to make that debate. Foreign policy is his favorite subject.,

Ah, but he draws big crowds. Sometimes. Other times, he only draws ..15 people

Does it never end? Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in their public persona remind me of characters out of a Pee Wee Herman movie, all animated and smiley. Or better yet, two wannabes from Beetle Juice. Come to think of it, the way he’s injected himself into poli-sthicks, Alec Baldwin would be good for the Harry Reid character and maybe one of Disney’s amnitronic figures for Grinnin’ Nancy. Back the truck up and drop off the zombies. The mess we’re in will take more than mega-money to fix. We need a few million volts run through Congress and the Whine House. With the bail out deal all cooked up who needs Washington anymore, or Wall Street? Just turn the bears and the bulls loose in the streets and set the whole place on fire and bring out the marshmallows and weenies. I hear Bush plays a mean violin. Its crazy time again. The election will not be televised. Oh, I got it. Obama is going to take us all up in his flying rug with his mantra embroidered on it, on the way to nowheresville where he’s going to debate the Ghost of Christmas Grinch. Whew. Would someone please wake me up when the cartoon starts over?

That Reid sure is a moron. Bad poll numbers and debate prep not going well?? haha, LOL…no wonder these people selected Obama instead of Hillary-THEY’RE STUPID.

All I can say is Obama and his supporters finish enjoying your ride. McCain and Palin are going to clean Obama’s clock on Nov. 4th.

Obama people: shooting moose is racist
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/moose-is-the-new-black-or-jew/

Apparently no one in the party formerly known as Democratic can remember their comments beyond 12 hours.

Harry Reid is fooling no one. I trust that his voters in Utah are watching. This is the kind of absurdity that caught up with Daschele.

Did you hear the last sentence of Reid’s statement on the video? “We need the Republican nominee to let us know where he stands and what we should do.”

Ok, Senator Reid. He’s on his way to tell you.

Reid is in Nevada. He hardly made it last time around.

That’s a relief.

As a gun-control liberal, my rule is: never blow away an animal unless the animal shoots first.

So sorry … first cuppa still kicking in … Harry Reid represents the good folks in Nevada.

Reid is the Senator from Nevada, not Utah. McCain is showing leadership by going back to DC to try to craft a bi-partisan agreement on the crisis and it shows leadership and character. Letterman is a moron to mock it. Because if McCain is able to help bring support on board to pass something and then does well in the debate, his “multi-tasking” capabilities will be OH-SO-CLEAR to the American public. To Reid, showing leadership and doing the work of the people is “demogoguing presidential politics!”

Only because Reid’s “presidential” politician, Barry Obama, looks like a petulant whiner who had nothing to offer, but doesn’t like it when someone else does.

What a sad, pathetic statement from the Senate Majority Leader. I think it’s pretty clear that the only one “demogoguing” presidential politics is Sen. Harry Reid!

This election is upside down. And it flips on a daily (in this case with Reid an hourly) basis. Bill Cosby had a skit about moody wives. “Come here” (cooing), then “Get Away!” Harry, it must be your time of month.. or minute.

I want Annie Oakley (Hillary) back! I want a straight shooter. OK. I started on topic, but now I will stray just a little.

One poll now puts Obama within 4 points of McCain in WV. So big parties are planned across the state by the “call me if you need me – I’ll be reading my little goat book” guy. This fellow who admittedly has never been hunting, fishing or camping in his life, who is pro-coal, whose running mate is anti-coal, who can’t publicly talk to his preacher anymore, who steals elections in caucus states and who tells the country, during an economic crisis, to “call me if you need me” now wants me to show up for a debate watching party on Friday. What part of PUMA does he not understand, I wonder?

I want the old democrat party back. I, as an independent who has worked for that party since Bill Clinton, feel gypped out of my investment of time and energy. So I have not been a life-long democrat. But I put in 16 years of my heart and soul into priciples I believe in. As to these folks: http://thedenvergroup.blogspot.com/

But, then there are those patriots who are not going to take this election sitting down in the swing states. http://www.gunbaNobama.org/

When even my staunch democrat friends in VA start rooting for an NRA ad campaign to be successful I have to believe the world is spinning on its equator.

Get me my M-80s. I’m goin huntin for fish to fry. Which way to Nevada?

Both Biden and McCain were hearing from friends in Washington that “all hands were needed on deck” to get this done in a “bi partisan way.

Both felt that avoiding a “Melt Down” of the World economy was far more important than the election.

Both have a deep understanding of exactly what a “Depression” will mean for the American People, because both their parents had lived through it.

Both have a history of reaching across the Aisle to get things done in the best interest of their Country.

Both are respected leaders by the American people and a show of support for the $700,000,000,000 bail out by them is seen as esential to gaining the people’s trust.

Both are respected in Finanical Circles and their support is needed to help calm and stabilize the markets both at home and around the World.

Both are seen by Foreign Leaders as men of character who’s word stands for something and can be trusted in this time of Crisis.

Both made a decision on their own to return to Washington and to lead in a time of crisis.

The same can not be said for what’s his name!

He had to be “invited” back to do his duty, by his Commander And Chief.

How very sad indeed!

When the gods want to punish you they give you what you want. LOL

Since I live in Nevada (ergo my screen name) I was gonna say this. Harry Reid is Mormon, but he’s a real, live, honest-to-goodness, Nevadan, born and raised (we have a large Mormon population here).

BTW, Reid has promised to retire after his term’s up. I think that’s in two years (I hope). And I’m sorry, I did vote for him. Sigh. I kind of wish he was younger and would try to run again, just so that I could vote AGAINST him next time!

Harry Reid apparently is unfamiliar with the phrase “be careful what you ask for …” After trying to make the melt down of the financial markets John McCain’s problem, he is now going to have to face a John McCain solution during an election cycle with fewer than 40 days while his own party’s candidate is out prancing and saying “call me.” Nice.

West.

I was glad Bush did what McCain asked and called this meeting.

I have to wonder if Obama realizes what he said yesterday…He went on about how bad it is, how much trouble we are in and then basically says call me..

It really made me think about how Washington has messed up with some things…like Katrina… people were told how bad it was going to be and didn’t get out. They died, yes they knew the water could breach those levees and stayed…Was it really anyones fault in Washington? Well yes and no. They were warned..

The democrats were warned about Fannie and Freddie and they stayed they didn’t do what others in Washington asked them to do and the levee broke only this time it flooded the whole US banking system. They were thrown a life raft not once not twice but three times (maybe more) and still stayed.

Now they are trying to blame the very people who who warned them, the people who threw the life raft over and over and now we are paying to rebuild the levees and rebuild the whole upper side of the city… but this time the storm could have been avoided. Hurricane Fannie/Freddie could have turned into a tropical storm if the democrats would have got in the life raft…we would have been protected.

Now when a hurricane hits people get out and yes we have to pay millions to get them out and bring them back home…But we learned from Katrina what we need to do and how to prepare. If you don’t leave after seeing what can happen then it is your own fault if you don’t survive.

The democrats had history to look back on and decided to stay. Greenspan warned them more than once…they stayed…They put us all at risk. Now we are expected to trust them??? Not me…

The media needs to report the truth about this…expose what the dems did…Will they? No…because it would hurt their cause…I have to wonder…Do they care about this country or is it the democratic party they care about. Will they risk our country and our freedoms just to get Obama in the White house?

McCain has to get the House GOP in line – that’s why he’s going back. He looks so foolish lately, I truly feel bad for him – especially the fiasco on Letterman yesterday…. it’s just unraveling before his eyes…

McCain looks lost, scared, old – poor thing. The Bailout gets done if the House GOP can get in line. Truly ironic that McCain, who the HOUSE GOP despises, will be called in to barter their votes. And McCain will have to go to the debates and get his hat handed to him too. What a week…

Poor thing, it’s not nice to pick on old people…..

Don’t be silly. The Republicans are entirely and completely to blame for this. They were in control of all three branches of government from 2000-2006, as I’m sure you’ll recall.

You’re just doing the famous “Republican moonwalk” away from the Republicans’ screw-ups. It might work–except we’ve seen it all before.

Logan’s Law: Republicans always screw up, then blame the Democrats.

Ask yourself this: if the economy were booming, would the Repubs be giving the Dems any credit for it? Think before you speak.

The facts are all there you just don’t want to know the truth…keep believing what you want but it won’t change the facts…

It’s amazing, Larry Johnson, people automatically look to McCain for leadership. Unconciously, sub-conciously, whatever, but people, including Dems in congress, just naturally look towards McCain in a crisis. Half the country doesn’t even realize they do this. But absolutely nobody looks to Obama for leadership on anything. The Georgia crisis happened and everybody was waiting for McCain to make a statement. Obama was busy surfing, nobody expected him to show any leadership.

Obama is worse then Bush. People don’t want to admit it, but it’s the truth. I bet nobody watched the President’s speech last night and felt a sense of relief, like thank goodness we have someone competent to lead us thru this crisis. The same is true of Obama, people are actually trying to tell me it’s good he decided to stay on the campaign trail, what good could he do in DC anyway? Bloody hell people, wake up! He could do the job he was elected to do, he could provide some leadership! Believe it or not, rallying crowds to come out and chant your name is not a valuable presidential skill.

He’s retiring (supposedly) after this term. Or so he says here in Nevada.

I watched it…I was glad he did it…Obama shows he has no real leadership skills…call me?

I will call him when my community needs some organizing, maybe…I really don’t even trust him to do that.

Sorry, but the Right has got to think of a new scam. A child can see through them by now. No wonder they lost both houses of Congress.

“We need the Republican nominee for president to tell us where he stands, and what we should do.” – Harry Reid?

And the Dems are saying McCain’s campaign suspension is a stunt. Maybe they need to talk with the Senate majority leader about that. Wow.

McCain can now change one of his soundbites from “I’d rather lose an election than let America lose a war” to “I’d rather lose an election than let America sink into another Depression”.

I usually don’t agree with Dick Morris, but I think he was right-on target last night when he said that McCain’s move is brilliant. He said that McCain is going to charge into Washington and save the country while “Obama and Goofy” (I assume he meant Obama and Biden) are saying “call us if you need us”.

I’ve been a Dem for a long time. Of course Republicans screw up and blame Dems, that’s politics. But Dems themselves act kind of like Pontius Pilate, they go along with the crowd and then they try to claim, I wash my hands of this blood, this execution will not be on my head. Look at their authorization for military action in Iraq. Look at their approval of the Patriot Act, FISA immunity. I understand the politics and the compromises involved, but do Dems ever take responsibility for their own actions? No. Come on, if Bush is the greatest threat this country has ever faced, shouldn’t they have spent the last two years trying to impeach him? No, that’s too hard, we might not succeed, it wouldn’t be politically expedient, blah, blah, blah.

You have to try to look beyond the story line here. Or fairy tale as Clinton put it. Republicans are not the epitome of evil and Dems are not knights in shining armour trying to rescue us.

This is OT but not…I was reading where the house is going to be investigating Rangel…

House To Launch Investigation Into Rep. Rangel

Reporting
Marcia Kramer
WASHINGTON (CBS) ― CBS 2 has learned the House of Representatives will conduct an inquiry into Rep. Charles Rangel, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The ethics committee of Congress announced they established a subcommittee to investigate Rangel, who has already been in plenty of hot water recently.

One stunning part of the determination is that the committee decided to investigate his use of congressional stationery in three separate years to seek donors for a public policy institute in his name at City College.

The committee will also investigate Rangel’s use of four rent-stabilized apartments leased in the Lenox Terrace apartment complex in Harlem, the financing of the beachfront villa leased in the Dominican Republic, and his questionable storage of a late-model Mercedes Benz in the house garage.

In a statement the committee said it will determine whether Rangel “violated the Code of Official Conduct, or any law, rule, regulation or other standard of conduct applicable to his conduct in the performance of his duties.”

The committee gave no indication of how long the probe will take.

Oh yes, I listened to Dick Morris, too. Can’t stand the guy, but he sure nailed it this time, didn’t he?

The media helps them get away with it too…They didn’t cover the mess Fannie and Freddie were going to cause…they don’t inform the people when it is our right to know the truth..

“Apparently, this was something that, you know, he was more decisive about…”—Barack Obama speaking about

“Lady” denied…. Or hell hath no fury?

Democrats absorb a defeat on drilling

WASHINGTON – For Democratic leaders, it’s a striking defeat as they agree to allow expanded offshore drilling in waters they once called sacrosanct, giving Republicans a rare victory on energy policy six weeks before the election.

It was not long ago that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime ardent defender of the drilling bans along each coast including her home state of California, called GOP demands for lifting the federal offshore drilling moratorium a “hoax” that should be dismissed out of hand.

House Republicans demanded — even in the darkened House chamber during Congress’ August recess — for a vote on offshore drilling. And GOP presidential nominee John McCain pressed the call for offshore drilling, arguing the 18 billion barrels of oil beneath the 200-mile Outer Continental Shelf could help America reduce its dependence on foreign oil.
“Drill, baby, drill,” came the chant at the GOP convention.

Barack Obama, the Democrats’ presidential nominee, sensed the shift in attitude. He endorsed limited offshore drilling — although has never given any specifics — as long as it comes with a broader energy package benefiting alternative energy and efficiency.

Pelosi tried to build a firewall.

She crafted legislation that would have opened all areas beyond 50 miles to drilling, but only if states went along with sharing any of the royalties from the oil to be pumped. It passed the House — and died. Republicans called it a sham since most of the recoverable oil was within the 50-mile protective buffer, and states were unlikely to go along with drilling if there were no cash.

Pelosi tried to put the same language into the spending bill, calling it a “sensible compromise.”
But she said Wednesday that President Bush had made clear he would veto the spending bill if her drilling provision were included “which would have threatened to shut down the government and send a dangerous signal during thee hard economic times and a financial crisis on Wall Street.” So she scrapped the proposal.

But it also was clear Pelosi’s measure would have trouble in the Senate. Democrats had no desire for a high-profile political standoff over offshore oil drilling.

Still, the fight over offshore oil is far from over.

“We look forward to addressing these and other pressing issues with new leadership in the White House next year,” said Pelosi in a statement.

The House clears $25bn for car makers

House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a $25bn package of low-cost loans to help hard-pressed car makers and their suppliers finance plant modernization at a time of restricted access to public capital markets.

The automotive loans are separate from the proposed $700bn bail-out for the banking sector, which is still being debated in Congress. The House approved the measure 370-58, setting the stage for Senate approval within days.

The industry’s case has been helped by the fact that Michigan and Ohio, the two states most dependent on the car industry, are key swing states in the November 4 presidential election.

There’s the proof, a real leader would have known that what was best for We the People and Our Country is most important. The slow response time in taking this crisis seriously and Bush (of all people) forcing Soertoro/Obama to return from his Senate sabbatical to do the job he is being paid for reinforces his lack of leadership skills and analytical judgment.

Since Soertoro/Obama’s real goal is to be a world symbol, you would think that, if he had a modicum of American history, he wouldn’t want to win this one because the next president better be channeling FDR or he’s going to be compared to Herbert Hoover; and we’ve already got the tent cities.

The perfidy of this election primary theft is just beginning to show its ugly consequences. Can you imagine him facing a rampaging Russia, nuclear Iran, or another 9/11 with a petulant, “If they need me they’ll call me.” Or worse, hanging a “do not disturb” sign on the Oval Office door. The last thing we need is another photo op president.

Thanks for the update, many of us have been wondering about it.

I think you typed McCain when you meant Soerotoro/Obama. And yes, Soertoro/Obama does look like he needs someone to hold his hand while crossing the street.

Sorry, Perry, but “one hand washes the other” and there is plenty of guilt for both parties to share. Are you an outsourced hire? You really need a better grasp of U. S. history.

China banks told to halt lending to US banks-SCMP

BEIJING, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.

FDIC May Need $150 Billion Bailout as Local Bank Failures Mount

Just go read this one….to long to put it all here

Will McCain have Rick Davis and Phil Gramm with him to help get things back on track?

Wow i never knew that, i knew they were in Utah and Idaho and california. My aunts family is mormon my cousin is currently a missionary in Idaho and his sister is heading out there for school. Thanks for the info on Navada.

What i think is really odd is that Democrats and republican are waiting for McCain to come back to washington? Hold up does that mean that they believe McCain is a gasp leader. Go fig.

America:

This is really so simple, a no-brainer, in fact.

All Barack 0bama has to do is present his original birth certificate to the court.

Court case over!

Why all the unnecessary legal maneuverings if he is an American citizen?

I would think that with the closeness of the election, the campaign, the debates, the financial crisis, 0bama would want something as simple as this settled.

But since he’s getting a break from the msm who is NOT covering the story he can keep stonewalling.

Why isn’t the media covering the story? It’s news.

Reid is just a tool for the Obama campaign, putting politics above country. So much for “a new kind of politics” looks like the worst kind of politics to me.

Geraldine Ferraro got it right back in January:

“The only reason Obama is in this race is because he is an African American”.

We are in the Economic Crisis of a generation and he just doesn’t get it.

“Call Me”, just doesn’t cut it on any level.

Joe Biden was in a “shout down” with David Axelrod yesterday, insisting that he was returning to Washington as a Senator to do what the people of Delaware elected him to do in a time of National Crisis.

Obama gets angry with Joe and Biden has to tell Axelrod, “it’s not about politics, it’s about leadership”!

Sara Palin was on CBS talking to reporters and clearly demonstrated a grasp of the gravity of this National Economic Crisis.

But Still Obama is out to lunch some where in La La Land.

McCain suspended his campaign, pulled all adds, cancelled the debate (on Foreign Policy) to return to Washington to lead the GOP in support of a Bill that will help stave off a Depression.

Obama, wandering around with his political shoes untied, fails to see the need to cancil a meaningless debat, (on Foreign Policy) and return to Washington to represent the people of Ill. who sent him there.

Jesus Christ Geraldine was right:

OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC VERSION OF BUSH!

If you want “Four more years” go ahead and vote for this clueless, self absorbed, not ready for prime time empty suit.

I’m from Idaho originally. And when we were first stationed out here in 1995, driving into Las Vegas, the first two things I noticed was all the houses are stucco (and I hate stucco) and there was a big Mormon temple. That’s an indication of the number of Mormons here.

23 Sept: CBS: Obama May Not Return to D.C. for Bailout Vote
(CLEARWATER BEACH, FLA.) – Although Barack Obama argues that the financial meltdown is an “emergency situation”, he said today that he may remain on the campaign trail, rather than returning to the Capitol, to vote on the $700 billion plan.
“Look if we get a consensus and everybody is popping champagne – then I will probably be going back to campaign with folks who are having a tough time in places like Ohio, and Michigan and Pennsylvania,” Obama said adding, “If this ends up being a close vote or a vote where the outcome is an open question then obviously this is a top priority.”..

yttik,

Excellent comment!

The Pontious Pilate metaphor was particularly effective.

And we all know what place in history that Pilate holds.

The Dems and their supporters might want to think about this along with the fact that 0bama was supposed to represent CHANGE! A new kind of politics. A leader who was committed to work across Party lines.

He had an excellent opportunity to show how he was going to represent all of what he’s been preaching ad nauseum and guess what? He can’t be bothered because he has to – debate.

Well, who’d a thunk it? After all these months of dodging first Hillary, then McCain Town Hall Meetings that 0dumbo is just spoiling for a good old debate?

This is the same deal as with Bush. Half the country is in love with the idea of someone’s persona, their image, and the illusion that they are the right man for the job.

The other half of the country has to deal with being punished for our fellow citizens’ stupidity.

Somebody bring Hillary back, with Bill riding shotgun. We are living a national nightmare!

yttik….

quite correct.

cross demonization of the two prominent parties is the typical propaganda move of divide and conquer.

why buy it anymore.

what we witnessed this past year regarding the behaviour of the dem party elite leadership/obamacoup has demonstrated to me beyond any doubt that the repubs are not the devil and the dems are certainly not the knights in shining armor. not by a long shot.

and Sen McCain is no more george bush than the bobo is. in fact the bobo and friends have more in common with the bush than Sen McCain ever will.

why?

because the puppetmasters have chosen the bobo . last time they chose the bush.

one thing for very sure….they did not choose Sen Hillary Clinton or Sen John McCain.

our only recourse against the bobocoup is to vote for McCain.

or at the very least, do not vote for the bobocoup.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/09172008/photos/obama.jpg

Is this the person you want in charge of the “red button”?

The Dems are trying SOOO hard to spin this in their favor. “You need to be able to do two things at one time.”

WHAT THE F—! This isn’t about walking and chewing gum. This is about a probable depression.

MORONS!!!

Hmmm. Economic meltdown or debate?? Economic meltdown or debate???

I wonder which is MORE IMPORTANT!!!???

So Reid insists McCain get engaged and then, when McCain calls his bluff, Harry Reid wets himself. I guess the Senator from Utah suddenly realized he had invited the lion for dinner.

LOL! Great line Larry. Harry Reid is the personification of the stereotypical weak Democrat. What a complete fool. After announcing the world earlier this week: “We don’t know what to do,” HE is obviously the one manipulating a $700 billion crisis for his inept candidate.

Notice the language:

I understand that the candidates are putting together a joint statement at Sen. Obama’s suggestion…[first propaganda point, spread by Obama to cover for not taking action]

If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op…[Second BO talking point: "I they need me, they will call me."]

If there were ever a time for both candidates to hold a debate before the American people about this serious challenge, it is now. [Third BO talking point: we need to debate. Does this guy every take decisive ACTION or is it all talk and speeches?]

Reid, the source says, thinks McCain’s maneuver is a gimmick born from bad poll numbers and the fact that “debate prep must not be going very well.”

Yea, I’m sure McCain is really worried about the debate, after debating for decades. Who has a record of poor debating skills?

This is a perfect example that it is the Obamacratic Party now. He is writing their lines, and obviously directing their poor political maneuvering. While the world waits, Obama is all about Obama once again.

William L. Donlon,

You post comments with info that don’t have links nor do you say how you know the information.

I’d love to believe that Biden was in a shouting match with Axelrod, but what’s your source?

Just curious….

and everybody is popping champagne

The man can care less for no one except himself. I have no idea why he is neck and neck in the polls. The U.S. may be turning very much like Venezuela in public attitude.

McCain just upped the ante. Obama’s going to have to stay in DC. Period.

WHO is going to be “popping champagne?!” The economy is collapsing you moron–even with a deal in place, the horrendous problem is not going away so we can all celebrate. He is so clueless. Don’t want to interrupt that campaiging for The Little Emperor while something has petty as a world banking crisis is in the way. The antithesis of leadership.

the bobo did not want to go to washington because he did not think of it first.

also, guess he was just not up to “multi tasking”, and able to go to washington to do his job AND continue preparing for the debate.

McCain is so much more the leader with so much more the EXPERIENCE for the potus position. Hillary and Biden are correct on that point.

the bobo will only win the white house if his handlers/cartel get to “count” the votes after they cage them from the gravesites, and intimidate the living hell out of anyone else they can grub.

McCain/Palin will win in actuality.

whether they actually get to the white house….well, we’ll have to watch and see.

As the nominee, HE is the one who will bring the Republicans in to sign the deal. Without consensus, it will not go through. Obama, apparently, is not “needed.” Well, we already knew that.

Can not get exact quote yet, but here’s the jist:

I can not continue and campaign as thought nothing is happening or that a solution is at hand, of which there is none.

Good talking points Mike! Now call Headquarters and collect your weekly allowance. I noticed you ignored that Obama is neck deep in Wall St. & Fannie & Freddie money huh?

Thanks for the regular updates Larry. The MSM spin on all of this is revolting! Trying to game the system is called multi-taking. Jeebus.

I have a question. Is Senator an Honorific title now? Since BO never works as a senator, even in a time of grave crisis, I am wondering why he draws a paycheck. Maybe he can give it back to the national treasury while he’s cramming for his debate; that would be doing two things at once.

Obama = SINO (senator in name only)

roswell…are you one of those that survived the 1947 crash in Roswell, NM?

These people are insane. A moose = a human being? And because Palin is a hunter she’s likely to discount, disrespect and maybe even kill AA’s and Jews?

Incredible. I’m not sure how anyone could get up and say that with a straight face, and then, think people would buy it. Doesn’t show a great deal of respect for the average citizen’s reasoning abilities. But then, the Obama folks apparently think the average voter is braindead.

Incredible!

Perry, do some homework. Chris Dodd & Barney Frank have been blocking reform of the F&F system for years, lining their campaign pockets. McCain put forth a reform bill several years ago in an effort to head off this mess, and it was shut down in the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. Have you checked their approval numbers lately? There is clearly factual blame in both parties. Petty politics, just like your candidate.

b-bye Harry. Take Pelosi with you.

When this latest Hail Mary pass ends up being another touchdown for Obama and McCain drops even further in the polls, maybe he can get his buddy Dubya to suspend the election?

Big question for the McCain campaign today, do you ditch the Rolex for the sleeves rolled up photo op?

I saw Reid on the Senate floor, before the last vote of the day…and he definitely challenged McCain to get involved!
To paraphrase: The Republican candidate needs to deliver votes or this measure won’t pass.
He tried to get in McCain’s face, and John landed an upper-cut!
Democrats are willing to “cut to the bone” to advantage their unqualified wimp, and we are not going to take it anymore! Go McCain…we’ll win together or go down together!

I tried to post last night on threads that were filled with annoying trolls and people engaging them. I really wish people wouldn’t do that. Especially when posters go on and on and on with these trolls.

I guess I’m the only one who has the sinking feeling that this crisis was precipitated in order to help 0bama move way ahead in the polls. It was stated months ago that if in September/October, that the country was facing economic woes, then the edge would go to 0bama; if it was the Iraq War/terrorism, edge McCain.

Has the financial crisis this past week made us forget how the 0bama campaign had been scrambling in the wake of Sarah Palin’s presence on the ticket? Up until Lehman Bros went belly up followed by AIG, the momentum was not on 0bama’s side. Then suddenly, financial chaos.

There has been so much slight of hand during this election along with an msm that is now clearly the enemy of the American people.

We all should be afraid…. very afraid.

That the media even allowed Reid and the 0bama campaign to spin McCain’s decision into a campaign manuever when Reid made comments just the day before is something out of the Twilight Zone. I said it often during the Primary with regard to what was happening to Hillary, that we were seeing Gaslight politics in action.

McCain scared of debating? After asking 0bama to join him in Town Hall Meetings? After Saddleback? After the way Hillary decimated him in debate after debate even with the unfair advantage he was given?

What is wrong with the people in this country?

That anything has to be spelled out at all is such a somber commentary on the mindset in our nation today.

Everything that 0bama has done in the last 24 hours is the absolute antithesis of what he’s based his campaign on.

Is the kool-aid this mind-numbing that people can’t see that?

Strange times indeed…. very strange!

This will never get through the courts, just like the corruption of the Republicans.

LOL!

Leterman is just another pathetic celeb trying to dictate to the voters. Who in the hell cares what this idiot thinks? Dave, go marry your son’s mother, will ya?

This morning on the Morning Show, Bob Schieffer reported that not only was it not a stunt- but that after the House GOP meeting with Paulson yesterday morningwent so badly- Paulson asked for McCain to come back to get some movement with the members.

I would love to know the meeting between Biden and Axelrod went the way you describe it- any way of knowing for sure?

Yes, it seems to me that avoiding a total collapse of the stock market is a unique situation that demands the full attention of all senators. Who would care about watching a debate while the country is literally going down the tubes. The MSM will spin this for Obama, but it looks to me like Obama really doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation and is only concerned with pushing his candidacy.

Perry: Please make a list for us of all the bills the Democrats introduced and the fillibusters they led in the last two years to make Bush accountable and stave off this crisis. In the first place, if they had impeached Bush we would not be in this mess.

Karma is a bitch isn’t it.

LOL!

PUMA 2008!

Yes, it is interesting. Obama is now the leader of the Democratic Party, but we never see him spearheading any issue. Instead, all the Old Dinosaurs in the Party have to scramble to protect him and cover for him. Pathetic.

I agree. Obama is treating this debate as a procrastinating college kid by cramming for this debate just to pass the test. he is learning the answers to pass, but as in all cases of cramming, what will the retention rate be? This cramming will not change Obama’s character one bit.

Harry Reid is a partisan hack and I will be happy to see him go. He is one of the problems with congress. What has he been able to achieve for us as the head of the senate these last two years?

He had his chance to lead on these issues facing us two years ago if he would have worked with the Republicans in congress.

Reid is a complete and total waste as a public servant, he puts his party before our country and it’s citizens.

So who’s campaign is in trouble? McCain is confident enough to suspend, but Obie has to pound the pavement in all the swing states.

Mimi:

You have every right to ask that question of me.

It’s not important how I know, just that I know.

It is important to me, that those who were there when it happened, and monitor this site, know that I know.

Sorry Mimi, that’s the best I can do.

No you’re not the only one who thinks that. I believe it’s absolutely correct. They manipulated the primaries and now they are maniplating the GE.

“I guess the Senator from Utah suddenly realized he had invited the lion for dinner. He flipped flopped.”

just a detail, that but that dem is from nevada…

Reid and the Democrats are sucking big time.

…all those empty words of “non partisan” and “working together”.

HE and the DEMS are making this political, nothing but. AND, if they don’t solve this by tomorrow, they’re gone for the year.

YEP, isn’t that pathetic, Dem’s do’t seem too concerned about solving this. They would rather our economy crash, hoping it give them an upper hand on elections.

McCain is doing the right thing, and they know that. TOUGH, they chose an empty suit.

….another “My Pet Goat” book reader while the country is under attack. Woohooo.

Democrats are sucking more than ever.

Donlon: Not good enough, IMO.

Amazing that the clowns that put us in this Fiasco are the very sameone’s that put us in this situation.

OMG, the spin is making me sick!

How can they say McCain is “ducking” the debate when OBAMA blew off all the town hall meetings this summer?

And Bozo is giving a speech to Bill Clinton’s initiatives via satellite. It shows how much he cares about others even though they help him with his campaign that he stole from Hillary. BO is so self centered it’s not even funny. If they do have the Debate tomorrow, I hope they change the topic to “ECONOMY”.

Funny, I didn’t know Bullwinkle was Jewish.

LJ I guess the Senator from Utah…

Reid of Nevada?

Obama (and Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Brazilenut, et. al.) think that letting the economy tank is okay. They will just blame it on McCain.

Here Larry, this one’s for you….OK, and everyone else I think will enjoy….and spread widely.

Obama on crisis.

Harry Reid is responsible for the for the FISA bill with TELCO immunity to come to the Senate floor.
Alert:
I see that CNN is giving Obama air time to speechify on the financial crisis as I type. Did John McCain get the same amount of time? I didn’t see him.

That’s true, Harry did not want to filibuster FISA.

Stucco houses are an indicator of a large Moron population? I always thought it was nervous looking sheep.

Bozo’s teleprompter keeps stalling.

OMG! Barry’s teleprompter is not working. He is lost and staring at the camera like a deer in headlights. Dude looks tired. I guess he’s been shooting too many hoops down at his hotel in Florida. Such hard work you know. LOL!

You guys remember when Dave would start to tank in front of his audience he would say “Buttafuco” and the Moran-Americans would burst out laughing.

He doesn’t know what to say, and keeps repeating the lines on the teleprompter. Why is Barry still in Florida? He obviously is just a puppet reader for his handlers.

Obama just called Hillary a champion of children’s rights in a speech.

WARNING: DO NOT LET INEXPERIENCED, CHARISTMATIC NARCISSISTS IN FLORIDA WHEN THERE ARE CRISIS’.

Its wonderful that there is video of the hearings. Greenspan’s testimony, etc.
It isn’t hard to prove who dropped the ball on this crisis.

But Obama is the one doing only ONE thing. He is running for Pres and nothing else. McCain is doing three things, negotiating with the Dems, negotiating with the Repubs and WH, and overseeing a suspended campaign which Obama refuses to honor. As usual the Obama campaign is projecting their own actions onto someone else.
Note: I am not voting for either one of these candidates. I do not agree with either one on the issues, but I admire good tactics when I see them.

This is the first time that I have heard anything about this topic!!
Recall that the media made a big hulla baloo about the fact that McCain was born in US controlled Panama?
I usually don’t beleive in consipiracies, usually the simplist explaination is the simpilist. But I am starting to wonder in regards to the media.

Obama is not a big deal in the Senate. He is just another junior Senator. In the speech dept he is not anything special either in that chamber without a huge cheering crowd. He has no expertise, no judgment, no authority. The press will not be able to edit to make McCain look bad and Obama look good due to CSPAN and live feeds on network sites. The press has been neutralized in a manner of speaking and the playing field tilted to McCain.

They are running scared because the have blood on their hands in this meltdown. They want to stall it for as long as possible because the public outcry for investigations into their behavior will begin in earnest following the passage of a bill. They are trying to stall this until after election day.

Tek:

Again, It’s not about how I know.

Do you think Bush chose the Neo Cons OR did the Neo Cons choose Bush??

I don’t doubt you know, but How do you know?

Some times it’s “Through The Looking Glass”.

Why isn’t Hillary VP???

Why did the CEO of a Failed lending institution get to “Vet” and Choose—Biden??

Why did the CEOs of failed lending institutions choose Biden?? (that is a different question from the one above)

What leverage does this give Biden???

Why did the CEOs of failed lending institutions choose Obama?

Why do the CEOs of failed lending institutions want both Obama and Biden in Washington today?

Why does Obama’s “Chicago Mafia” want Obama any place but Washington today?

There is no need to ask why there is conflict between the Chicago Mafia and the CEOs of failed Lending Institutions.

Who do you think the CEOs of failed institutions asked to run interference for them with the Chicago Mafia??

How do you think that conversation went???

Do you think McCain has figured this out and is playing the seams??

Now that I got us here, it’s a matter of back checking.

I understand you question Tec, but everything doesn’t come down to a blue link.

Sorry, but it’s the best I can do.

You, my friend, have made a brilliant point, and I am jealous I didn’t see it first!

I heard a speaker here in Virginia last night, who was a representative for McCain on the meeting with some Evangelical leader at this summit, (I think) Obama was supposed to have ten people on his faith team to represent him, and they did not show up. No one showed. ten empty chairs. That was some kind of statement I guess, but what it was stating i don’t know. maybe since he has recently cut his losses in so many states he once thought he could win, he may have followed suit and decided the Evangelical vote, post palin, is not attainable either, therefore not worth the effort, or aapparently a statement of explaination of why he did not send anyone to represent him.

********************************THANK YOU!!!!!*********************

I thought, yesterday, for a moment, that I’d IMAGINED Reid whining for The Ancient Mariner to come home, after I saw his BLATANT flip-flop on the matter.

I’ll tell ya, that footage of Reid going one way, and then another, is a commercial about “politicizing” a crisis, all by itself.

If Barack holds a U.S. Passport, then he would have had to submit his birth certificate or proof of citizenship to get it. This would be on file at the State Department and may be with a court order. Perhaps the lawyer who filed suit, having been given the go-ahead to have discovery, will be able to subpoena those records from the State Department.

Also, it has been reported that as a student, Barack visited Pakistan using an Indonesian passport. If this can be proven with the proper documentation, then Barack’s candidacy is DEAD.

These could very well be part of the anticipated October Surprise.

Neither one of them was being asked to go to work when there was still soooo much homework to do.

When will Congress get it? And the President? Barack Obama didn’t become a Senator, to work as a Senator…he HAD to become a Senator so he could become president…duh.

Besides, you know the old saying about not biting the hand that feeds you; despite BO’s history of throwing his associates and mentors under the bus, he NEEDS Penny Pritzer, and all those CEO’s from Wall St. to keep financially supporting him. Do you think he can really run a campaign counting on his supporters to keep sending him “fourteen dollar checks” forever? sooner or later, playing the numbers is gonna be a more important investment with that money than sending it to Barack.

No, Democrats as a group are not stupid. The DNC leadership is craven, which does not mean they are stupid, they’re anything BUT–they simply stole the nomination because they misjudged the candidate and the readiness of America to ignore a lack of qualifications to elect Mister Kumbayah.

This is the Presidency, not a casting call for a sitcom where all the lines are memorized before the cameras start to roll. There has to be SUBSTANCE behind the surface veneer, and Obama lacks it.

I hope one day the NORMAL WING of the Democratic Party takes hold again.

Until then, I’m a free agent.

great analogy.

Thanks for the up-date. I just sent an e-mail to Hannity. Since he is the only one vetting Obama. I asked him to please bring this out. Whether or not Obama is qualified to be President, the American people have the right to know that a suit has been filed against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States And that we deserve to know the truth.
I urge everyone to e-mail Hannity about this along with your local news media and newspapers.

Well alrighty then.

It’s pretty obvivous who people in Washington see as the real leader: John McCain

Obama is looking more & more like a little kid trying to play with the big boys.

well I would not do that he dishes money out for gardens to no where….

He could not organize a piss up in a brewery..

(getting drunk in a pub)

I noticed that. Is he THAT jealous of the Clinton’s?

And maybe it’s just me, but has anyone noticed how the media downplays the fact that there is a Clinton Global Initiative taking place today?

They showed McCain speaking, they showed Obama’s satellite video, but they just say that they both released statements today, and didn’t mention that it was at the Clinton Global Initiative.

thanks for the update. It is an insidious move on the part of Obama and the DNC…they filed a motion to dismiss based on “standing”…this was the same way the suit against McCain was dismissed.

But, Berg was smart. He also sued FEC, who will eventually have to have the documents produced by Barky.

FWIW, it is not just the “natural born” piece, it is the multiple citizenships that are problematic.

and everybody is popping champagne

Only champagne he will see is when the McCain camp pops them sometime on the 4th when the polls come in..

I really think this quote is an absolute insult

Just like his comment on his plane they both painted their logos on the side.

The country is in crisis and he talks of champagne and his dang plane..

This guy needs help!

O says that a leader needs to be able to do more than one thing at a time. You could argue that a leader needs to be able to prioritize.

LOL! OMG…I just spilled my coffee..

I don’t see that it will ever be an even media field for McCain. The moderators will do to McCain what they did to Clinton…. ask the tough questions of McCain first and allow Obama to refine. McCain will be given less time overall as they will allow Obama to give speeches.

I wish he and Pelosi and Dean would hurry up and get out. Each one of them is depriving same village of an idiot.

The logic IS a bit…er, curious.

It’s fine to eat that filet mignon so long as you didn’t kill the cattle yourself, see?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!! So long as YOU aren’t the one beheading the chicken…..

It’s misplaced and moronic virtue.

I am not a great big “gun fan” but I have relatives who hunt, and so long as you’re shooting that moose, deer or “what have you” and field dressing it, chopping it up into dinner sized servings, stashing it in your or your friend’s/family’s freezers and EATING it for your protein, I see nothing wrong with it.

I don’t think that anyone who isn’t a strict, annoying vegan should even have anything to say about Palin’s method of “putting food on her family” as that Bushturd said.

In reality, this is just one more thing for the citified elites (and I was one for many years, so I can say that) to point at, giggle, and snark about what a rural rube she is.

In this day and age, you don’t have to live in Manhattan to be “up to speed” on what’s happening around the world. The internet is a great leveler, and it also enables us to see exactly how “assholish” some people can be about their rural fellow citizens–it’s not attractive.

You were perhaps thinking that because he is a Mormon, he must be from Utah?

I don’t mind Harry, overall. I won’t demonize him. He has my sympathy, really.

I will say that it’s evident that the Obama Machine “got to him” in a hurry, and his two conflicting statements prove it.

He was WAY MORE decisive in his first comments…and he sounded “coerced” in his second remarks.

So, I guess he’s not REALLY a flipflopper–he’s a guy with a gun to his head that’s being held there by a Team O thug, and he’s just saying what he has to say to stay alive.

Another Prisoner of Obama….but then, he’s got half the Democratic Party held hostage already.

I can’t believe I ever considered myself a Democrat. Our country is going through its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and this kind of BS is happening? How can Harry Reid be on record saying that it’s imperative that McCain be a part of negotiating the bailout plan and then say the opposite? Is the left-winged media making any mention of this? Probably not.

Letterman is OK. He’s become a real human since his heart surgery.

I think he was kinda left in the lurch–that’s why he got ticked. And of course, it helps his ratings with the OBOTS to get a bit annoyed, as they were pissed at him because he STRONGLY supported HRC in the primary.

I like Letterman.

Hillary Clinton should have substituted…or Bill!!! Or another Clinton supporter–Donald Trump (who now supports….McCAIN).

Letterman is a HUGE Clinton fan–massive!!! That’s probably why he solicited McCain’s attendance on the show in the first place.

Gotta look at it from all perspectives….

This is too funny!!! But what’s not funny is how the MSM has ignored this story, or how Sarah Palin got 60,000+ people to show up in Florida the other day…without a free rock concert!

During the Economic melt down, Obama is the one who responded like Bush with Katrina … not McCain, as Obama would have us believe. After all, it was McCain who once again prioritized the melt down above his campaigning. It was Obama who put his campaigning above the melt down. Even if McCain was unable to influence the committee working on the melt down … at least he tried … at least he showed up … at least he put Country before politics … and, before his personal ambition … unlike Obama. I say … forget all the rhetoric … talk is cheap … check the actual records (and voting records) of these two candidates.

“One reason for both men’s sketchy records on financial issues is that neither has been a member of the Senate Banking Committee”

Of course, Palin has an even sketchier record but what about Biden? And if his is sketchy, who are the economic advisors to McCain and to Obama? Let’s see for McCain, that’d be Phil Gramm. Oh wait – don’t even go there. For Obama – who might be the one to give him sound advice?

Furthermore, check these clash videos I found yesterday about the US Presidential candidates have talked taxes. Well, it’s entitled Obama v. McCain on Taxes. Watch these statements – then vote in http://clashorama.com/index.php?id=194
