Barack’s Shameful Bipartisan Record

Great insight Larry…and yet, as the polls show, America is blind to this, willfully blind and unwilling to look at the facts.

Thanks Larry,

Patrick

Thanks for posting this. I am disappointed to see Hillary on the list right below numbnuts.

I don’t think this is going to get the press it deserves because it would hurt The One…Just like Biden gaffs …he is famous for them but now I think he is lying and getting away with it because they just say oh another gaff from Biden..

“After seven years, in which our senior diplomatic personnel were not allowed to make a single contact with Iranians, the Bush administration realized the absurdity of its own policy and sent our leading diplomat to Iran,” he said. “The Assistant Secretary of State as he went to Tehran, sat down at the instruction of the President of the United States.”

It sounds great for Obama and Biden that the president came around to something so close to their position on talks with Iran; trouble is, the event Biden described never actually happened.

In point of fact, the one “meeting” that has taken place was in Geneva, Switzerland, when Under Secretary of State William Burns sat in on a discussion between Iranian representatives and the other “P5 +1″ political directors involved in nuclear talks. The meeting, while a first, was not a negotiation; Burns was there merely as an observer, and had no formal role or talks with the Iranians.

So, point by point: Burns was not sent to Tehran; he did not go to Tehran; and there was no such instruction from the President.

My point is these people don’t check facts so Biden and Obama can lie all they want because the MSM won’t call them on it…and people go home believing Bush followed Obama’s lead…it didn’t happen.

Larry can you add the video with the Black Caucus and Fannie Mae…. the “Friends and Family” one. The one showing that in 2005 (?) Obama knew there was problems as did Fannie Mae and the Black Caucus.

Clinton is a Senator from NY, the financial capital of the US, not to mention the world, so it would make sense that she would be one to target with donations from the financial sector. The real issue is how did the junior Senator from IL get more money in 6 less years. I think Wall St loves the Big O since he is easy to manipulate.

Larry…it’s time for you to stop pretending you are a Hillary supporter. Same with your posters. you people are republicans and as such responsible for the shit that’s hitting the fan right now. Typical repug..selling out for the dough or hits in your case.

Obama used just used to WORDS. HIS WORDS say it. ACTION if for those other folks who can’t afford to just say the WORDS, that he had someone else WRITE.

please vote on this poll on more of BARKY’s empty words.

Quick Vote
Should the Presidential debate go on as planned?

Yes 70% 1316
No 30% 557
Total Votes: 1873

This is not a scientific poll

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/morning.express/

No newbie senator is given an important bill like Ethics Reform to push through, but Harry Reid had to give Obama SOMETHING in his column to run on to facilitate his rigged nomination.

Obama is “just words” in an Empty Suit.

The numbers I have seen posted are as follows:

Compare the money Barack has raised from lobbyists with that McCain has snagged. Obama received a grand total (per Open Secrets) of $1,223,737.00 from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Bear Stearns while John McCain received only $258,075.00.

John McCain $6,550 (Fannie Mae) $9,100 (Freddie Mac) $117,500 (Lehman Bros.) $36,875 (AIG) and $88,050 (Bear Stearns)

Barack Obama $137,950 (Fannie Mae) $68,750 (Freddie Mac) $370,524 (Lehman Bros.) $75,899 (AIG) and $570,614 (Bear Stearns)

The KEY POINT in all of this is that Obama has only been in the Senate FOUR YEARS. The time frame that is cited is from 1989-2008. He has collected either the second or third largest amount in the same span that the others collected over many more years. “Special Interest Reformer” with his hand out.

I have theory about voters. Not the voters whose minds are made up, the swing voters of whom there are a lot this election. I think as the election gets nearer, their focus gets narrower. In the spring and summer they have a “culture figure view.” This is where a new and shiny concept candidate can catch on. People aren’t really pondering this person as president, they just look at how interesting they are. Then as the conventions draw near they shift to a party view. Polls generally reflect feelings toward the two parties and the candidates are figureheads for the 2 parties. We are still in that stage now. Then as the election draws very near these voters come to an individual view. They start looking more at character and actually trying the candidate on as someone who will be in the living rooms for the next four years.

I know we are all anxious and even nervous about the fall of Obama that we think surely must be coming. And I think as we enter that final stage it will begin. We think too much about the bots and not the 18% who are undecided. As they stop thinking about history making and party and start comparing this man to that man, the emptiness of Obama is going to come to the forefront in a great rush. It is mostly because I believe this theory that I still think McCain will win by 10 or more points and an electoral landslide.

Meanwhile, the media is only talking about Rick Davis’ firm and it’s retainer with F&F. NO mention of Obama’s ties. Typical propaganda we have seen for months.

CNN polls are a waste of time. They reflect nothing but the proportion of CNN viewers who are hard core democrats. Fox online polls do the same. The undecided voters don’t respond to these things. Every question posted will have the same split because those who respond see right throught the question and know that voting yes or no is “good” for Obama. Don’t worry about it.

Artistmate, get your facts straight, most here including Larry are Americans, whereas you are simply an American Idol fan.

It would be prudent to ask you to name 5 accomplishments of Obama, but you’d just run to Axelrod and get some lies to post, so instead, how about this, when you manage to find something of value to contribute to society, keep your sorry attempts at speaking intelligently for the other kool-aide drinkers in your sorority!

By the way, a poll on the debate should not be yes or no but:

A. Should the debate go on no matter what?

B. Should the debate go on only if congress passes a bill today or tomorrow?

McCain needs to be doing more to identify himself with B. Obama is tying himslef to A.

US News and World Report is finally covering a little about the Obama-Ayers connection:

http://tinyurl.com/3rjy2l

But Obama’s been in the senate only 4 years!

TROLL!

CNN actually gave Hillary a serious interview on the economic meltdown. Guess they thought it would help The One. At the end she had to make a pitch for Obie.

Larry, can I e-mail your blog a photo of me in my Al “Team” Franken t-shirt, or my Jim Webb for Senate t-shirt?

Some people are moderates, independents, who just support the better candidate.

Back to topic:

Meanwhile, Jim Johnson continues to advise Obama. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Johnson_to_lead_Obama_briefing.html?showall There was this big stink about whether or not Raines was still advising Obama. Now here’s something put out by the Obama campaign.

Jim Johnson facilitated Fannie’s rise (and fall) by turning it into a political monster, larded with lobbyists, so ultimately it could do whatever it wanted to do.

Waffles Obama waits and talks -his mouth goes like a duck’s butt, but nothing else seems to work.

http://hickeysite.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccainpalin-mccain-acts-obama-waffles.html

But that tells of the reason she supports Obama. No?

“When most people in his party were thinking that global warming was overstated and maybe even a myth designed to help people like me who love solar and wind get into it, he decided to look into it,” Clinton said, recalling McCain’s and Hillary Clinton’s trips to the Arctic.

“The point I want to make is there aren’t any votes on this in Arizona,” Clinton said. “He just wanted to know. That’s what we want from everybody. John McCan wants to know and I am profoundly grateful to him for coming here today.”

Bill Clinton on John McCain today.

Talk about “reaching out”,
How about Obama’s phantom phone call
he supposedly made to McCain at 8:30 yesterday morning?
IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!

VIDEO – See Fannie Mae CEO Ask Congressional Black Caucus For Help In 2005!
Fannie Mae CEO to Democrats: You Are Our ‘Family’ and ‘Conscience’
By P.J. Gladnick
September 18, 2008 – 09:22 ET
this video of the interim Fannie Mae CEO, Daniel Mudd, addressing the Congressional Black Caucus, including Barack Obama, at their swearing-in ceremony in 2005. Although this video is spreading quickly in the blogosphere, you have yet to see or hear anything about it in the MSM. As you can see in the video, Mudd talks about the problems of Fannie Mae yet that didn’t keep Obama and other Democrats from taking large contributions from that organization or doing anything to try to fix it. Here is a transcript of CEO Mudd addressing the Democrats:

Fannie Mae CEO to Democrats: You Are Our ‘Family’ and ‘Conscience’
By P.J.
A stunning example of the incredible disconnect between the mainstream media and the blogosphere is this video of the interim Fannie Mae CEO, Daniel Mudd, addressing the Congressional Black Caucus, including Barack Obama, at their swearing-in ceremony in 2005. Although this video is spreading quickly in the blogosphere, you have yet to see or hear anything about it in the MSM. As you can see in the video, Mudd talks about the problems of Fannie Mae yet that didn’t keep Obama and other Democrats from taking large contributions from that organization or doing anything to try to fix it.

Yes. Yesterday morning Biden attacked McCain numerous times with bogus references and appropriated for Obama what is, what was and what will be despite the fact that Obama’s connection to those situation is only a speech.

A you and the Democrats are responsible for the fan. Typical dem, spreading out the shit on top of everyone and fouling out the whole place out.

I should have had my coffee before typing. That doesn’t even make sense to me.

Character is how you behave when no one is looking!
John McCain has more character than any person I have ever met. I recall the story of the dying Senator that McCain kept visiting (Udall?) – the nurse said hardly anyone visted anymore.

I checked FEC records. There are a number of Larry Johnsons But there is a Larry Johnson in Bethesda, MD who maxed to Hillary Clinton. I suspect that is the No Quarter Larry Johnson.

OT

Bill Clinton: Don’t ‘Overly Parse’ McCain Request to Delay Debate

September 25, 2008 8:26 AM

ABC News’ Nitya Venkataraman Reports: Former President Bill Clinton defended Sen. John McCain’s request to delay the first presidential debate, saying McCain did it in “good faith” and pushed organizers to reserve time for economy talk during the debate if the Friday plans move forward.

“We know he didn’t do it because he’s afraid because Sen. McCain wanted more debates,” Clinton said, adding that he was “encouraged” by the joint statement from McCain and Sen. Barack Obama.

“You can put it off a few days the problem is it’s hard to reschedule those things,” Clinton said, “I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted — I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don’t think we ought to overly parse that.”

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/09/bill-clinton-do.html

Just heard on CNBC, Steve Leisman say that Obama was the one blocking Democratic inclusion of bankruptcy reform in the $700B trickle down package. Proves what many of us have said all along – Obama is not a Democrat.

I agree. Once you peel back the layers of lies, you find nothing. You see that it is all a big lie. Nobama, no nothing special. Then it comes down to experience and judgement. Nobama lacks both!

3. Obama, Barack S D-IL $105,849

What’s really sad about this list is look where Senator Obama ranks on that list, then compare it to how long he’s been in office. Compare that to the other names on that list and how long they’ve been around. Imagine how much he would have collected from them by now if he’d been around even half as long as the others have.

McCain is running against the media also. As Letterman demonstrated also.

Less than four years. He was sworn in January 2005.

That’s why it took 90 minutes for Obama to respond to McCain’s challenge – it takes more time to concoct a lie!

McCain is heading over to the White House now. Barry is still in his hotel down in Florida.

Obama – ready to talk – not ready to lead

And, McCain knows that Obama is lying, but McCain wants a bipartisan solution to this crisis. He will not call Obama out on it at this time (I sure hope his surrogates do!)

I’m actually curious about what is going on with this. Davis has said one thing, I’ve seen mention that he’s been accurate, yet questions that he may not have been. What is the real story? McCain doesn’t need this right now, however relevant or irrelevant it might be.

No he isn’t. He is for himself only and for Michelle and his two daughters. End of the party line.

you people are republicans and as such responsible for the shit that’s hitting the fan right now.

Not me. Since I haven’t voted for a winner in a very long time (and that includes the House and Senate) I feel absolutely no guilt over what the people you gave your vote to has done to my country.

The two political parties responsible for our leaders over the years have no Constitutional authority to force us to choose a person from their pre-selected list and it certainly isn’t my fault that they use the Peter Principle to make that list!

Yeah, we’re in serious trouble, the fate of our free nation may hang in the balance and at the moment we have inept vacation prone Bush and Senators McCain and Clinton sticking their fingers in the holes of our crumbling economic dike.

And your Soertoro/Obama is proving that without his teleprompter and his 300 “advisers” he simply doesn’t know what to do so his staying away really doesn’t make much difference in the solutions department but I’m sure his Illinois constitutes would like to see him on the job and ready to vote on any plan agreed upon rather than just being “present” somewhere else.

Those CNN polls were always skewed in favor of Obama v Hillary during the primaries.

Just goes to show you that Obama has his little basement worker working overtime….

Greata’s poll has also been hijacked.

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/page/2/

it is actually remarkable that few outside Obama’s core campaign are in sync–Biden, both Clintons, and other Dems are at odds with him one so many items–debates, going to DC, ad content, finance plans, and such. Obama may have his cult following, but it doesn’t stretch to anyone with serious roles and responsibilities.

Republican voters across the country are livid about this bailout. McCain was in touch with his party in Washington. He had serious doubts that the bill would be passed by Monday and that the financial markets would go into meltdown mode. Based on the anger expressed by voters about this proposed bailout, it looks like he’s telling the truth (surprise). How would both McCain and Obama look on Monday if no deal was reached and they were out campaigning? Obama should think about that.

yeah, an annual average would show it better

Larry does that a lot

I hope you’re right. That ABC poll was a real kick in the teeth – an 11% advantage to Obie on his ability to handle the economy? It is so frustrating. Meanwhile GE’s stock keeps drifting down – maybe Michelle better pitch a “raise the bar higher” fit and call the election so Obo can deliver sooner.

I wonder if any reform of the new bankrupcty laws–which Biden had a hand in–might be included in the bailout? Where was Obama on this?

Another liberal principle under the bus. Apparently, Obie wants to give Wallow St. as many billions as they need to keep the economy working the way it has been, but he’ll happily let bankruptcy wipe out people’s life’s savings. Makes you proud to know you’ve fought for the little guy all your life and this banker primadonna comes along and makes the transformation of the people’s party into the corporations’ other party complete.

KOS, DU? Care to comment on this change?

Your comment shows how critical wording is in poll questions. I feel sure that most polls could be severely skewed just by changing 2 or 3 words in the whole set of questions, it is that crucial.
Besides the wordings you mentioned, what if the pollster said (extreme example):
“Will you watch the candidates debate about the significance of the Georgia-Russia incident or the discussion of your bank account and retirement programs which are now on the line?”

Same of course with the polls demonstrating that race is a factor. Imagine the different responses to:
“Would you be willing to vote for a qualified African-American?” (How willing is this person to vote for qualified and race)
“Would you be willing to vote for a qualified American?” (How willing is this person to vote for qualified and race is not mentioned but country is)
Here are three characteristics which might influence the voters’ feelings; qualified, race, and nationality. (I throw that in for the group that believes it is important to be a natural-born citizen ) Now, results from this alone will not tell us what quality was most important. This comes from additional questions like:
“Do you have negative feelings toward one of the candidates because of his race?”
Now this is a totally useless question, because there are two “hims,” one white and one half-white, so we don’t know what a “yes” would mean.

I could go on for pages, but I hope this is food for critical thought when you read these poll results. Try to find the original questions, and imagine all the ways their meaning could possibly be misinterpreted, then multiply by two and you will have an idea.

ABC poll added I beleive 170 extra AAs: it was not a statistically accurate representation of voters. Much talk this topic at sp yesterday.

As heard on CNBC, Steve Leisman was been reporting on the negotiations and said that Obama was blocking inclusion of bankruptcy reform. Now that’s just what he Steve Leisman reported, but truth like this often leaks out on the business channel where Obie gets the benefit of people thinking he’s good for business without the downside of the peasants knowing he’s stabbing them in the back. I bet it’s an accurate report.

McCain should release the recording of BHO’s message. This will clarify that it is indeed he who is telling the truth.

McCain should release the recording of BHO’s message. This will clarify that it is indeed he who is telling the truth (McCain not BHO).

all i must say is Palin is a beautiful woman. Look at Kissinger blushing. She sent a spark through all the old men in Washington.

I’m looking at these four quality articles posted by Larry in such a short time – and I am loving it.

CNN is the tank for Obama so is not a surprise to have a large number of the obamabots voting in favor for the debate to proced. i rather have my senators working to solve the problem a.s.p

Don’t let the contributions fool you; McCain is just as much in the tank of Wall Street as Obama.

Wall Street controls BOTH candidates; that’s why people should reject both of them. They are a disaster.

that ABC/WASHINTON POST poll was skewed they polled 38% Democrats to 28% Republicans and as you know they have been Obamas cheerleaders.

I so agree! Larry is on a roll!
I saw a brief mention of some on the contribution list…and yes, Senator Clinton, by representing her state, should be receive support from these groups. I have no problem with that.
As far as the “wagon loads” that Obama is pulling in…nothing in life is free, so he is selling out big-time!

But it came from smary-assed Charles Gibson on The News. Millions heard and believed it.

Smarmy-assed, and I think I’ll call him Chuck.

Don’t forget Exelon/nuke safety bill he rewrote to please the GOP….and the money he got from that company…

Wake up America!

Maybe the ex-big shots knew some sort of a fix was in with Obama. I just can’t believe that he came out of nowhere on his own.

up-Chuck? I will just call him Mr. Vomit.

In Chicago, last night the local CBS affiliate reported that the FBI is hot on the trail of the Governor, the Democratic Governor who is from Chicago, the Chicago machine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16aBNduAyQ4

Absent from the list is the name of John McCain, John Sununu, Elzabeth Dole, and Chuck Hagel. Those Senators tried to take action in January 2005 but could find no Democratic sponosor nor any other Republicans willing to back them in cleaning up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

You mean S.190 of 2005?

That’s the bill McCain first signed onto as co-sponsor in 2006, after it had already died in committee the previous year.
