Senator Obama, Your Arrogance Is Showing

By Anita Finlay ("Ani") on October 17, 2008 at 3:35 PM in Arrogance, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton

Careful, Senator, we just got another glimpse of the real you: the true character you try so desperately to hide. Better cover that up real quick!

Senator Obama gave an interview which will run in The NY Times this Sunday, or as we like to call the ex-paper of record, the BOTimes. I guess we know in advance what kind of an objective, probing piece it will be.

Obama, in a feeble effort, I suppose, to win back the votes of Pennsylvanians and any others he offended with his now infamous ‘bitter voters’ comments back in April, has just characterized his own statement as “boneheaded.”

That sounds familiar. Another boneheaded mistake, Senator? Like buying your home with the assistance of Tony Rezko, then under indictment, now a convicted criminal? You called that “boneheaded,” too.

Boneheaded seems to be Obama’s favorite catch-all phrase for ‘don’t hold me responsible for any lapses in judgment or possible criminal actions.’ It is a disgraceful term to use because it sounds like Obama is being self-deprecating, but actually his goal is more insidious -– to belittle any concern someone might express about his wrong actions in the first place.

For anyone here who doesn’t remember the brouhaha back in April, CNN’s Political Ticker reports that Obama is making a little revisionist history via the NYT. These were Senator Obama’s original comments:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not.

I love the way Obama lumps the Clinton administration in with the Bush administration – as if the citizens he is talking about were falling through the cracks during Bill’s tenure in office. The truth is, they did well with him, as did most Americans, considering we had eight years of peace and prosperity, great job growth, a balanced budget and an enormous budget surplus. So much for lie number one.

Now here’s the “boneheaded” part:

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Really?

And here is Obama’s statement to the BOTimes, I mean, the NYTimes, attempting to smooth over his big booboo that arguably cost him the Pennsylvania primary:

Speaking to the New York Times in an interview set to be published Sunday, Obama said his now-infamous comments at a San Francisco fundraiser last April — during which he said some small town Americans “cling” to guns and religion — was “my biggest boneheaded move.”

“How it was interpreted in the press was Obama talking to a bunch of wine-sipping San Francisco liberals with an anthropological view toward white working-class voters. And I was actually making the reverse point, clumsily, which is that these voters have a right to be frustrated because they’ve been ignored. And because Democrats haven’t met them halfway on cultural issues, we’ve not been able to communicate to them effectively an economic agenda that would help broaden our coalition.”

Uh huh.

“Obama talking to a bunch of wine-sipping San Francisco liberals with an anthropological view toward white working-class voters” – yes that is correct, Senator Obama. It is an anthropological view and an ignorant and class-ist view as well. What it “looked like” is exactly what it was.

Senator Obama observes: his head tipped to one side with his nose in the air, as if he is looking at a bug under a glass.

Well, he had six months to come up with his ‘revisionist’ sound byte. Is it working for you?

The problem I have with it is that now, Senator Obama is out on the campaign trail deriding and belittling Joe the Plumber, a man who simply asked Senator Obama a question about his economic policy:

“This is the guy John McCain is fighting for…how many plumbers do you know making a quarter million dollars?”

And what is wrong with John McCain fighting for Joe the plumber or any of us? What was Obama trying to say here? Why is his crowd laughing at this?

Clearly, Obama is an elitist; an arrogant snob who cannot conceive of anyone making that kind of money who didn’t go to Harvard. A small business owner, with a plumbing company and a couple of employees, would easily make that kind of money. And that is precisely the question that Joe Wurzelbacher was innocently posing to Senator Obama a few days ago in reference to buying a plumbing business.

Does it occur to these DNC fools that is why every single one of them, except for Bill Clinton, lost the Presidential election these past 30 years? We don’t like elitists who treat everyone else like “the fly-over people.”

And now, for Joe’s trouble, he has been subjected to ridicule by both Obama and Biden – you know, the Democrats; the party of the working person. Further, Joe’s life has been turned upside down, his privacy has been invaded and he is under attack by news media and by Obama’s more virulent supporters.

We now know more about Joe’s personal business in 48 hours than we do about the frontrunner for President of the United States.

We have not even seen Senator Obama’s genuine birth certificate, his college records, his state senate records, or his medical records. But we know about Joe the plumber having a tax lien. This is outrageous.

Senator Obama cannot help himself. His arrogance shines through. His willingness to rip anyone apart who has the temerity to question him once again displays a weak, petty and self-aggrandizing nature that is surely a poor fit for the Presidency.

Senator Obama can run, but he can’t hide. Belittling Joe Wurzelbacher, belittling Governor Palin, belittling and deriding small town voters, deriding Hillary’s voters as low-information and racist – it is all the same.

And the message is clear. Anyone who does not fall in like to support ‘the One’, or as John McCain characterized him, “that One,” will fall victim to ugly and disrespectful attack. Arrogance is as arrogance does.

As Hillary Clinton correctly pointed out:

“People don’t need a president who looks down on them, they need a president who stands up for them.“

I, for one, have had enough of an arrogant bully in the White House these last eight years. I will not help elect another one simply because he parades around with a (D) after his name.

That is why I am so sad the see the CLintons out there stumping for him! I still don’t believe they like him though.

Great post!

I agree w you….Hillary said she was diappointed some of her supporters are voting for McCain. But many of us are equally if not more diappointed in her supporting Obama. She got treated like shit. That’s her thing to deal with. I already voted and did a straight Republican ticket.

PamelaofthePoconos

I don’t like to turn on Hillary and Bill, but they are really pushing things too far. This is not about the issues; rather it is about our right to a voice and to a fair vote. I too (with one exception for a House Dem who is the kind of Dem I’d thought they all were)am voting straight Republican. O takes every advantage. I am going to do likewise.

if they didn’t campaign for him they’d be blamed for his loss. And how much time do we think Obama would spend campaigning for a Clinton if the situation were reversed?

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=tristkiss trist

They’re going to be blamed anyway!
Just like it’s “Joe the plumber’s” fault that Oblah-blah opened his fool mouth without aid of a teleprompter. So Joe gets crucified.
Obama is perfect, perfect people don’t make mistakes, so if it appears he’s made one, or fails in anyway it will ALWAYS be someone else’s fault!

Ani

That is his narcissism at work.

He has to win this election on his own merits or lose it on the lack thereof. It has nothing to do with the Clintons.

D. That damn Fox News and their unwillingness to bow down and kiss my ass like every other media outlet

I voted for Bill, because he seemed so down to earth.

Then along came Kerry, Gore and Edwards came off as stuffed shirts. Now you have Obama. Why have the Democrats pushed these awful candidates on us? Had they put up better candidates Bush would not have been elected.

Ani

In his way, Obama is another stuffed shirt elitist — as his above comments make abundantly clear. Before Bill, they likewise nominated others of the same ilk.

Bill Clinton was an anomaly, apparently, not the norm.

The Dems always laughed at him because he was not part of their patrician club — even though he outshines and outsmarts them all — as does Hillary — that is why many in the DNC are so jealous of the two of them.

“People don’t need a president who looks down on them, they need a president who stands up for them.“ — Hillary Clinton

This would make a fantastic quote to pair with the SNOBama graphic.
jbjd

But this is too fabulous. Presumably, the NYT and the BO campaign scheduled the paper’s endorsement and the Sunday article backtracking on his “bitter” comments, before he stopped in front of Joe’s house and asked whether the man had any questions for the candidate.

What’s that stupid expression, ‘hoisted by his own petard’?
portia9

What were the people at the One’s rally laughing at anyway? How is a Presidential candidate mocking a working class voter who asked a simple question funny? Maybe it was just the kind of nervous laughter you sometime gets when the boss makes a stupid joke or the popular kid says something catty or cruel. Although, maybe the one’s sheeple are so indoctrinated they believe that as his disciples they can look down on all the “others” as inferiors just as their dear leader does.

Obama is using cult techniques which include the VOICE — and yes there are aspects about his voice that could be using mass hypnosis techniques.

Some people are sensitive — and these are the ones who think Obama is sooooo Wonderful — But these same people cannot tell you exactly what he said. Obama was probably trained just how to deliver lines with a specific rhythm, cadence which can indeed hypnotize some people.

Download the file linked above — and send this link to your mailing lists!!

This article is a MUST READ!!

FM — thank you, thank you — for posting this link!!!!

bemused

Everyone should make an effort to get through this article! It is 67 pages inc. TOC and footnotes. Explains why it is the Oborg has grown and the Obots are so resistant to common sense. And, possibly, why we are immune and what can be done about it to wake up Obots. He is consciously or perhaps through his natural talent hypnotizing people through speech. The author gives a history, moral & legal opinions, overview, examples of how O. uses these techniques. It’s technical, but not oppressively so.

Tuppence 411

I did read thru it. And it was affirming to have what we have known along in black and white print-Nobama is manipulating the masses. Okay maybe I couldn’t articulate it that well last winter- I was basically telling my husband and best friend Obama was the anti-christ and changing the channel quickly.

Best line in all 67 pages was the quote from Nina Simone- “Sinner Man, where you gonna go?”

tzada

Maybe I sensed something too, because I turn the TV off when he comes on, or cover my ears. Seems kind of childish but I am glad I do now.

My soon to be ex son in law is a rabid Obama person. He was shocked when his 11 year old told him that he did “not like Obama” that he “was afraid of him” Of course he blamed me, then blamed my daughter. It had not come from us.

Son in law said, “Well you won’t vote for him because he is a N.” Shocked my daughter said this. “None of us have used that word. You are the only one I have heard use it, and you are his voter! His color has nothing to do with our vote.”

I wrote him a note and told him I had voted for Obama in the primary (true) and that I had learned things to change my mind.

What if President Obama makes a boneheaded statement when he’s negotiating with terrorists ?????

Seriously, not only are we putting our country in great jeopardy by electing this man … we are also setting ourselves up for about 4 – 5 years of not acknowledging his mistakes even though we can see them. Do you remember what it was like knowing Bush was making blunder after blunder, yet having to swallow the fact for patriotism (9/11)? We will be doing similarly for O. If not for patriotism, then because of the media and his goon squads quashing criticism.

I have quit using my Out of Office Countdown Calendar for Bush. Why? Because George W. Bush the second is on the way. I just know I’m going to be nauseous throughout his next term. And it is just too demned depressing counting another four or eight years of days.

Ani

Then may I respectfully suggest you make calls and campaign or get the word out and circulate some info to family and friends if you can.

This race is neck and neck — anyone who believes otherwise is buying a lot of false media hype.

lind

To judge the people in PA like Obama did just because they’re different than you are is called being a racist. If Hillary would have said that people in some SC districts are bitter she would have been called a racist. That’s what happens when you attend a racist church for 20 years. But the elitist especially in the media are overly excited about BO and think that he’s right about those people in PA,like Murtha. It’s sad to see their racisim but they have become dumorcrats,still I think history is watching and recording their legacy. They with Obama are the racists.

Yeah. I believe it. He indicts all American history. It ties up with Michelle derision of the country – ‘now I’m proud, but not before.’
Ani

Well – he actually tried to indict Clinton and called him racist and whatever other way he could discredit Bill’s administration, especially to his young, ignorant followers, too young to remember the difference — because it was guilt by association. In order to try to beat Hillary, Obama had to make Bill’s administration seem like less than the success that it truly was.

That was one of the worst lies of all.

MochaLatteBreve

I’m disappointed in Hillary’s support of Obama. She should be putting Country First. Very disappointing.

I think Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment was another boneheaded mistake.

SnarlingCur

If Hillary want to run in 2012, she cannot endorse McCain, and she cannot not endorse Obama, because either would look like she is trying to benefit personally from it.

bemused

See above about hypnosis. I’d say someone did a good job of hypnotizing a lot of people into thinking “Hillary is power-hungry. Hillary will do anything to get into office.” etc. It’s a sword of opinion hanging over her head.

Pragmatist

How many votes will Obama lose if the video of his “How’s business?” comment goes viral?
We’ll see . . . but as far as I’m concerned, anyone who votes for Obama is anti-American. I felt that way long before now but now I believe it more than ever. Everyone but everyone should be doing whatever they can to make sure The Big Zero does not get anywhere near the white house. It’s your patriotic duty!

No bombshells needed. One is, however, already on its way: the API recording of Michelle Obama.

There is nothing to this until a recording is released AND it is verified. I doubt any such recording exists. The “news” site this came from:

If any of our readers wishes to join us as a correspondent or seasonal writer, they are most welcome.

So basically anyone could have started this as a rumor or even a fraud.

And this is the latest as of the time I wrote this comment:

I would not release these tapes until after the elections, because racists in America will use these innocent comments by Mrs Obama to undermine the Obama Presidency and break the dream for millions of people in America and all over the world to have a prosperious and peaceful nation.

Please DO NOT believe this. Michelle Obama is highly unlikely to call anyone whom she does not trust to give the statement like the one I read. This is just a distraction.

Uh Ani,

In light of the Supreme Court decision your awesome “Corruption gets bodyslammed not once, twice, but three times” post against the Ohio Secretary of State is in dire need of an update. Or are you just going to ignore it?

Ani

No we are not ignoring it — I understand she is still required to check the validity of the registrations. What it looked like from the Repubs. suit is that they wanted to make the names of the cards public and that is what the SC would not do.

I will certainly check into this further and we will post as soon as we have details).

Did anyone else see McCain and Obama at the Al Smith dinner last night. Mac was hilarious. He has perfect timing. Obama ended-up having to laugh at his own jokes. Mac made a joke about Hillary being there in support of him. She was laughing so hard at that joke, a little too hard, like it might be true. I know she is out stumping for “big ears” but I just bet she isn’t really supporting him. I know Bill can’t stand him. I would love to be a fly on the wall in that voting booth when she votes

The attacks on Joe have been appalling–when did this become a police state? I just sent a note to the McCain camp. They should do a commercial like Kirk Douglas’ “Spartacus.” A diverse group of small business owners can declare, “I AM Joe the Plumber,” and then describe the specific reasons Sen. McCain’s plan will benefit them and Obama’s will not. This focus on “Joe” is a complete distraction and intimidation technique. Joe is not running for president–who the hell cares about his personal life? This has become sheer madness.

And Obama doesn’t even realize that a small plumbing company can easily make $250K/year. Plumbers get like $80/hr. He is only highlighting his economic ignorance, and insulting blue collar workers all over again. As you said Ani–he just can’t help himself. It’s who he is. I heard a report today that yesterday he and Michelle ordered room service at the Waldorf Astoria yesterday before their dinner last night: lobster appetizers, lobtser, and some rare kind of caviar. Yea, they can really relate to Joe the Plumber…

wry

They both disgust me, Michelle probably more . And for the record, my plumber charges 90 an hour for 1 man, two is extra. His home is much nicer than mine, and he’s sending three kids to private college.

http://www.palestra.net/blogs/read/17321

This morning, I received information that an Obama campaign worker Jacob I. Smith had registered to vote at a temporary address in Ohio.

We looked up Smith’s public voter record and contacted the residents of the house at which “Jake” Smith was registered to vote.

Smith was being hosted by a man named Don and his wife during the election period. Don agreed to answer a few questions on camera, so we headed down to Howard, OH.

On the way down, Don called me back and said that he wanted us to get Smith’s side of the story as well… he felt bad because Smith was “a good kid.”

Don called me back and told me he gave Smith my number and that Smith would be contacting me.

When I hung up, Smith had left a message- he wanted to know why we were seeking him out and told me to please go to HIM, not Don. He said that he was at the Obama headquarters in Mt. Vernon and that we should stop by to speak to him.

A few minutes later Smith called again — he wanted to know why we were interested in talking to him. He asked how we got his information, etc. I told him we wanted to ask him a few questions about early voting in Ohio. He sounded nervous but he agreed to talk — but not on the record.

I called Palestra graduate managing editor Tiffany Wilson to tell her the situation and when I hung up, I had ANOTHER message from Smith. He was frantic and said he couldn’t answer any questions at all… “thanks but no thanks.”

He said didn’t want to lose his job.

Tiffany and graduate reporter Gary Orr headed over to see if they could talk to Smith at the Obama HQ — I headed to Don’s house with graduate reporter Sean Merinar.

Don was really nice and just wanted to give us facts- he said that to his knowledge, Smith grew up in Florida and is a graduate of Hofstra University on Long Island, NY. He is a paid worker on the Obama campaign and is staying for the month of October. Don and his wife offered to host campaign workers and were paired up with Smith… they don’t talk too much because Smith is always out working, but he seems like a nice guy.

When I asked Don if Smith planned on staying in Ohio, he said he didn’t know.

I asked if Smith was welcome to stay at his place in Ohio, and he joked “yeah if he pays the rent.”

Sean and I went to the Board of Elections and found that Jacob I. Smith registered and voted on October 1, 2008 at Don’s address.

We also visited the prosecuting attorney’s office, but she was unavailable for comment.

As we were walking out, I got a call from Tom Reynolds of the Obama campaign. Reynolds appeared angry and said, “I understand you visited one of our campaign workers…” I told him that Tiffany had visited Smith because SMITH INVITED US THERE and that I visited the host family. Frankly, Reynolds sounded paranoid and said “you have to go through the press office- we don’t bother you at work, please don’t bother us. Our workers have a job to do and we don’t want them being disrupted.”

He also said that if we needed something on the record, we should call him.

After talking one of our managers in the Palestra office, I called Reynolds back and asked if HE would be willing to go on the record since Smith couldn’t. He kept saying “I don’t know why you want me on the record because I don’t even see a story here.”

I REPEATEDLY TOLD HIM that we were inquiring about Smith’s residency. Did he plan on staying in Ohio? We were told that he wasn’t from here and that he was probably planning on leaving after the election (off camera on the phone).

Reynolds said “Well he got here before October 4 right? So he will be here 30 days right? And he registered before Oct 6 right? So he has complied with the law. There is no story.”

I told him we have spoken to attorneys and that the law actually states that a temporary presence in Ohio does NOT make one eligible to register and vote in the state. (Ohio Revised Code 3503.02 Residence Determination Rules). I told him we spoke to the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Ron O’Brien just 2 days ago and we were given this information by him.

Reynolds laughed and said he was “well versed”… that I didn’t need to refer him to the law. He repeatedly told me that he didn’t see any story here.

Reynolds also felt it necessary to point out that the prosecuting attorney Ron O’Brien is a Republican — as if that changed the law.

We were back and forth for a LONG time, and he never agreed to go on the record. Frankly, I felt like he was trying to intimidate me and talk me out of doing a story. He kept asking me who I had on camera and what kind of information I had.

I told Reynolds that we wanted to reach out and give them a chance to give their side of the story, but he kept saying “there is no story.”

I think there is.

Wow, there obviously is. They have everyone they are moving into swing states voting there. You should get this to Fox News at the national level, and contact the Ohio Republican Party at 614-228-2481.

Thanks, Ani, for yet another insightful post by you. It’s becoming so evident how much BHO is like GWB—arrogant, narcissistic, does not and cannot take responsibility for his mistakes and is also being pushed down our throats by the same mainstream media that brought us GWB and the Iraq War. Although, in many ways (domestic terrorists and felons for friends), BHO is much more dangerous to our democracy than GWB is/was—and that’s a very difficult goal to achieve.
JP49

I hope now people will realize that you cannot trust the democrats who now hold elected office to do the right thing. They are willing to lie, cheat and steal to get Obama in. I for one will never vote for another democrat as long as I live.

JP

I would not lump people into ‘democrats’ or ‘republicans’ as if all were the same in one or the other group. Lumping people blindly in groups is dangerous. There are some democrats that are not to be trusted, there are some republicans that are not to be trusted. I think this has been demonstrated quite well by now. Obama, I do not trust. Pelosi, I do not trust.

Ani

Yes. Absolutely right. I have bene a Democrat all my life and certainly do not fall into this category. Neither do my family or friends.

There is corruption in both parties that needs to be exorcised — and quickly.

That is why our votes are so crucial in this election. If we let this kind of media pressure and hype dictate our elective choices, our democracy is non-existent and we no longer have any voice.

Use your vote wisely.

What took place within the DNC primary this year is nothing less than pure unadulterated CANNIBALISM.

This is the reason I left the Democratic party. Its one thing when you see the ‘opposition party’ doing illegal activities against your party-that is bad enough but…when your own party does it to its own party candidates-then that ‘cut’ goes deep-REALLY REALLY deep. The Dem party has left me and my family.

For those of you who may be new NQ bloggers-take a look at some of what occurred during the Democratic primary and why so many Hillary Clinton supporters had every right to be furious.
Now many of us are supporting McCain because we ALWAYS PLACED COUNTRY FIRST AND chose the candidate we thought was best for this country. Now, HRC was booted out of the race so, applying the same criteria-putting country first- we support the best candidates in this race McCain/Palin.

Thank you DNC for helping me to better understand what Sen McCain is really all about. I knew very little about him until my party (Democratic party) left me so I was forced to investigate extensively the other candidates. Honestly I have NEVER put so much time and effort evaluating candidates in prior elections as I did during this election. And you know what…McCain is quite a guy. Thanks DNC for helping me to open my eyes .

View the video’s released on August 9th 2008 by the Sam J
Ervin Jr, former chairman of Watergate commission, library and museum in Morgantown NC. According to producers, the DNC (with the support of the MSM) has perpetuated a crime and fraud against the American voters by claiming Obama as the presumptive nominee.

Obama & Vote Theft

P.S The democratic party has lost my vote on the local and state level races too. There are quite a few EXCELLENT independent and other third party candidates as well as Republicans that I am considering voting for.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE WHO SAT BY AND ALLOWED THE DNC TO GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY DID IN THE PRIMARY.If they didnt speak or act agianst the actions of the DNC-then they have LOST MY VOTE.

BONEHEADED.

Ahhhh, so NOW we know what his definition of the word is!!!

BONEHEADED means “I got CAUGHT doing or saying something that reveals my duplicitous nature!”
NoTrollZone

I don’t know… in the interest of linguists, I’m gonna just dive in here. I have no idea the origin of “boneheaded.” Nor have I ever heard the term used except maybe once or twice when I was around ten years old. Now, I’m just wondering, does
“boneheaded” really just translate to dickhead?
Because then things start to make sense.

Shiloh

Bonehead means thick skulled, as in Neanderthal or just stupid. They used to call remedial courses in college bonehead english or bonehead math.

NoTrollZone

I think I prefer my definition. But thanks for the info. lol.

Annie Oakley

Ha ha! I prefer your definition, too.

ehemmm…baronis = blockhead…barcalae = simpleton
in Latin…Barkonis o’ Barcalama = Barky the simpleton blockhead…redundant but fun punnin…chuckle…

Obama is not making “bone headed’ statements he knows exactly what he wants to say but if it doesn’t meet with the publics approval it is a “bone headed mistake”. If it does meet with approval he marks it up as a good political manuever. The guy is Chicago thug, no more and no less. He is no more than the dry county bootlegger.

Glenn Beck – The Obama Socialist Agenda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgc4zm3XrBc

“The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole pie. Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so someone else can have more.”

- – Michelle Obama, speaking in North Carolina

Obama was talking about sweet potato pie and coconut cream pie today, again.

it is fitting that Obama keeps talking about pie. Obama wants to carve up the “pies” of hard working Americans and the small businesses that create the jobs and pay the paychecks, and spread the pie around the table to other people.

That is not the American way. That is SOCIALISM!!!

Obama and Mee-chelle have a radical socialist agenda!

It would be the biggest government welfare program in the history of America. Giving a federal income tax refund to people that do not pay federal income taxes!!

WTF, Barry?!!

Such a radical socialist agenda is unbecoming of any American President.

America, stand up and defeat the Obama’s socialist agenda!! Send Obama and his socialist regime back to Chicago where they belong!

Country First!

McCain-Palin ’08

notrees

Sure it’s socialism. And it hasn’t been all that many years ago that the pie was blood pudding and those people know exactly what that means. Hell no. No Obama, no Africa. And no socialist America. If they want that in Africa-okay but not here in America.

WildChild

If that’s socialism then government of the people is socialist for our constitution codifies the mechanisms of taxation.

he said that to his knowledge, Smith grew up in Florida and is a graduate of Hofstra University on Long Island, NY. He is a paid worker on the Obama campaign and is staying for the month of October. Don and his wife offered to host campaign workers and were paired up with Smith

They did this in every state in the primaries. Oho do you think attended the Portland rally? the city was swarming wall to wall with visitors.

Jacob I. Smith registered and voted on October 1, 2008 at Don’s address.

Yes, there were many illegal votes in the primary and bracko bama had to still be drug across the finish line. Let me tell you I ran some calculations and I doubt that Bracko Bama got more than 3.5 legitimate total million votes. Coupled with the paid off state election workers who stopped counting or miscoutned Hills votes or just plain reported wrong numbers and you have a massive fraud. His votes not by the people or for the people.

Of course there is a story> yes indeed. Youa re onto another pahse of their many bags of tricks. Underage kids have done it too…it was rampant during spring break.

Now, the FBI is investigating whether ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation. They already are being investigated in 13 states for their fraudulent actions.

NOTIFY THE FBI about this version of tricks that was done all during the primary. Hillary won! She had approximately 20 million real votes! They trashed many of her votes.

We have already heard BO’s redistribution of wealth policies. Now we have seen what he will do as POTUS when someone doesn’t agree with him like Joe the Plumber. Forget writing to your congressman or woman, forget letters to the editor that protest BO’s domestic and foreign policies, forget protesting against corruption in front of any state or federal building, forget choosing what school your child will go to(the elite chosen in one school,everybody else in another)forget choosing a curriculum, it’s Ayers and Alinsky 101 for everybody, forget privacy laws(you think Bush/Cheney were bad just wait,there is no privacy in a socialist system)forget going online without entering a government issued password–think it couldn’t happen in America, he’s already started. No more free press unless it’s underground or at the journalist’s own peril like right now–every last American that knows what’s coming with this dangerous fool needs to vote McCain or you will have no one to blame but yourself.

Barack Obama is using Jeremiah Wright’s bigotry to go after Joe the Plumber. Obama is a closet racist.

JOe the plumber does not need a license as long as the company he works for is licensed. Joe just is preparing for the American dream of purchasing his own business one day. Obama and Biden made a huge mistake by tearing down this average AMerican.

Save America from HIgh Taxes and Socialism – Vote John MCain!!!!!

Under a Barack Obama Presidency the American Dream Stops at $250, 000.

If Joe the Plumber was black and had caused John McCain to screw up on a question, the MSM would be happy. And if McCain camp had done to Joe what Obama Supporters are doign to him, the media would be blaming racism.

I mentioned this earlier on another thread, I can not understand what Fox has been trying to do this past three days. They have gone totally negative on McCain and go out of their way to quote state polls that have McCain losing some of the battle ground states badly and this is the face of a AP/Yahoo nation poll out today had Obama 42 to 40 for McCain, which would make 18% undecided or third party.Plus the Gallup poll out yesterday of Likely voters had it 47 to 45, which is also two points.

Obama has projected during his entire campaign, blaming others for what he himself does. And that should scare the sh!t out of American. This man is the most secret, hiding any and all records of his life, secretive and lying.

Maybe if this man actually accomplished something for somebody other than himself and decided to be truthful and open when he asked Americans…not the world, but Americans to elect him as president they might have have had a real choice. But he is nothing but another actor playing his role in America’s Presidential Candidate, the Reality Show 2008.

Grow up and get some humility NObama, regardless of your and your wifes idea, you will not be INSTALLED, people still get a chance to vote, unless of course that was her freudian slip wth the rigging ACORN was doing on your behalf.

I cannot tolerate arrogance in any shape or form and that is what Democrats in general have become – arrogant. How dare they presume to know what is “good” for someone else or for our country. They certainly can say this is what I think would be good but they have no right to say “This is what is good.” They need a basic course in common decency and respect for others. Anyone trying to earn their daily bread is deserving of respect and those who cannot do so are deserving of compassion.
AngryWhitePerson

And because Democrats haven’t met them halfway on cultural issues, we’ve not been able to communicate to them effectively an economic agenda that would help broaden our coalition.”

This is what I consider WORD SALAD. Malignant narcissists have tendency to take a bunch of words or ideas, string them together and “appear intelligent” without actually making a point. This is how they can fool people for so long…until someone asks, huh, wtf do you mean?

Democrats haven’t met “bitter gun-clinging racists” halfway on cultural issues. As a result, they can’t communicate a message about the democrats’ economic plan which would then help expand the base.

Wow. What the fuck is that all about Obama? What does one have to do with the other and the end result????? Is reading comprehension something Obama failed in college (along with ignoring history lessons)? This is just one example of the MANY MANY MANY bullshit statements that Obama the malignant narcissist makes. If the hypnotized masses would just listen to what is being hurled at them, perhaps they would wake up.

I VISIT SITES ON BOTH SIDES AND IN THE MIDDLE. THE COMMENTS SEEM TO BE RUNNING 8-2 AGAINST OBAMA SO CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW HE IS LEADING IN EVERY POLL?

Ani

What sites do you visit? I am curious because of the ratio you cite? Thanks.

Citizen70

Ani – this is a well-written, insightful post. You should consider trying to get this published as an op-ed in a major newspaper or some news outlet that would reach folks who don’t get their news or opinion from the web. It makes me frustrated that so many good people don’t know what’s really going on.

Ani

Citizen70, thank you for your kind post. I am happy to submit the piece elsewhere as well.

How to say this delicately…I have written about 75-80 articles for NoQ and other popular blogsites these last 4 months. Not every one is Shakespeare, certainly, but more than a few are worthy of publishing in newspapers or magazines. However, I have found that if I am not writing something favorable to Senator Obama, it has about a snowball’s chance in hell of being printed — believe me, I have tried.

I had hoped that if enough citizens complained about the bias, maybe it would change, but I am not too hopeful after what I have seen this year.

I saw a few minutes of a appearance in Scranton of the Bidens and the Clintons.
While Mrs. Biden was speaking, Bill and Hillary were looking out toward the crowd, and whispering to each other.
They both looked uncomfortable…I wondered if they were reading some of those really SPECIAL tee shirts!

Really nice article, Ani. Very well stated.

It is rather amazing that the American public doesn’t want to see the real arrogance of Obumble.

It goes back to his victory entrance over Hillary playing “I’ve Got 99 Problems But A Bitch Ain’t One”.

But how could he not be arrogant with the MSM having its tongue buried up his a**, and never telling him anything but what he wants to hear. Sound familiar?

I’m sure, should the unthinkable happen, and this real jackass gets into the Whitehouse, there will be a banner spread across the balconies saying “Mission Accomplished”.

How it was interpreted in the press was Obama talking to a bunch of wine-sipping San Francisco liberals with an anthropological view toward white working-class voters.

Obama nailed this because he’s describing himself.

An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches

http://www.pennypresslv.com/Obama%27s_Use_of_Hidden_Hypnosis_techniques_in_His_Speeches.pdf

THIS MUST GET OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

REPORT IS WELL_RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED.

I am familiar with many of the names & concepts discussed in this report through my educational background.

PLEASE-if there is anyone out there that can take this information and produce a 5 minute video-this is important.

The report is well written-geared towards laypeople in easy to understand language and THOROUGHLY backed up with links to scholarly research, main stream media articles and broadcasts, youtube videos and reputable original scholarly research.

The report is rather long -61 pages- and people may not have time or patience to read this but this information somehow needs to get out.

There is NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that Sen Obama is using mind techniques including converstaional hypnosis to control the masses.

Its funny, last week I caught interview of David Plouffe (Obama’s campaign manager) and I remarked to a friend how coincidental it was that Plouffe and Obama’s mannerisms were almost IDENTICAL with regards to how they spoke, body language, facial expressions, hand movements, pauses between words, use of similar words…etc…

After I read this report I could not stop shaking.

I am well read and by nature I question everything so I never drank Obama’s koolaid and whenever I heard/saw Sen Obama giving a speech, I changed channel. i did not want to expose myself for some reason to the TV screen when he was speaking. Subconsciously I avoided him. When I would read his wordsin the newspapapers the next day I was shocked as to how ridiculous and infantile his comments were. PERHAPS IF I TOO WATCHED HIM LIVE OR ON TV I might have been ‘i n f l u e n c e d’ to bypass the cognitive processing of my brain?

I am cross posting this report.

Again-please can someone who is able to, produce a youtube video on this so we can send out to voters. Also, we need to write more about this topic too.

That is disgraceful. Someone being mentioned in a debate as an ‘example’ is not license for anyone to invade the man’s privacy and turn his life upside down and try to smear him personally. There is absolutely no justification for that – either for the media or Obama’s supporters.

John McCain had nothing to do with it. He was using Joe as an example in general terms. Obama made this personal because, once again, he felt exposed.

Actually i would have to disagree. we have plenty of hope if we did not we would have fell for Obama’s Hope and change speech hook line and sinker like you did. See hope is the vanilla flavor of life. It makes cakes and cookies taste great, but it has no taste of it’s own and it only requires the a little bit. hope gives life flavor, but it comes from with in not from without, and people who fail to realize this our the ones that end up in buring Compounds and drinking cynide Koolaid. I always thought my mom was a nut job because she has told me about Jim Jones since i was a small child. Now i know why she did, so i would be week and fall for people like obama, and actually believe that another human being holds the solution to my problems. Hillary clinton supporters are angry but we can still function. I do not believe the same is true of obama supporters should he looses.
