I believe the numbers from St. Louis, after all it is just across the bridge from Illonois. If the Obama camp could get all those obots to Iowa, how hard would it be to plant even more to the next state?
I have read rumors about many things that could come out in the next two weeks, but thus far Joe the plumber is bringing a thought to all who dare to dream. The problem Obama does not get is what all of us know, attaining the new american dream puts us in the higher income brackets. He is making it scary to dream now.

Wish this could happen, but don’ count on it. The O will answer, with his rhetorical bullshit, all of he allegations launched against him – with no back and forth from any ‘journalists’ – during his 30 minute infomercial. McCain would be wise to come up with the funds to do the same, and to do so AFTER Obama’s half hour sitcom.

Great point. How come all those commentators are not up and shouting about the relevancy of this endorsement?

Telling a common person you want to “spread the wealth around” is about the dumbest thing an American pol can say. And then to mock him is even dumber, particularly when you consider that Bobo (or his handlers) planned the latter and delivered the jabs in a stump speech. This puppet has no understanding whatsoever of the gun-totin’, Bible-clutchin’ crowd–the folks who rejected McGovern, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. I keep wondering if the Obamaniac MSM will begin to melt like the Wicked Witch of the West as we near Bobo’s political demise. Today my husband, (a Nader supporter) who still watches CNN and MSNBC, told me that Direct TV has added a horse-racing channel. Finally, I replied, an HONEST channel he can watch. Heh.

What is so riling is that we are in such a recession and the O has spent so many millions on advertising. Used to be, the Democratic Party would put money where it was needed – towards the poor, hungry and homeless, towards schools and other needs. No more. Now we are proud to collect outrageous funds to shell out to cable channels. Not the party I once cared for.

And we all know, those funds are NOT coming from the hurting ‘little guy.’

I think he is sublimely calling for riots and violence. But then I might be biased.

Respectfully, I don’t agree with you on that one. Andrew is obviously very interested in and concerned about politics which I think is a really, REALLY good thing for someone who I believe is 17 yrs old. Perhaps he is a future Senator or POTUS, who knows?

Touching someone like that is also just a technique to build rapport. I have seen many talented salespeople use it. Obama was trying to get O’Reilly to like him or at least be easy on him. I don’t think it worked. O’Reilly is no-nonsense if nothing else, and I don’t think he was fooled for a minute.

Another thing I might add is that when Hillary was interviewed by O’Reilly, she wore pink. I bet it was for very good reason, as pink is supposed to zap energy from your opponents. That is why they paint some jails pink. I also notice that Donald Trump wears a lot of pink ties.

BREAKING NEWS: Colin Power endorses Mr Hussein Obama. I think it is more about Power having the same colour of skin!

If Obama did try to use those hypnosis tricks on Joe, he utterly failed.

Thing about Plumbers is, they know B.S. when they see it.

Rest assured, many of us watch this campaign with the same historical perspective. (That is, from our knowledge base acquired during the primaries.) The BO campaign reminds me of the movie, “The Truman Show.” Jim Carey plays a man placed into the legal custody of a Director, at birth. The Director builds a t.v. set around him, and films his life. Occasionally, things go wrong. For example, at one point, an overhead light ‘falls’ down from the sky. When this happens, the Director runs interference, shouting orders like, ‘Cue the extras!’
