POLLING UPDATE: DEAD NOT MOVED BY PALIN’S STELLAR DEBATE PERFORMANCE….CONTINUE TO SURGE IN LARGE NUMBERS TOWARDS OBAMA

Posted in obama with tags , , , , on October 3, 2008 by Ray

As my astute friend, Uppity Woman, points out….

..the dead are registering to vote in large numbers, and seem to overwhelmingly be supporting Senator Obama.

As many know, Chicago politicians have always had a knack for reaching out to the dead, and getting them to vote…..Senator Obama seems to be no exception…

ANOTHER OBAMA FRIEND, AND MACHINE ASSOCIATE, BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE FEDS

As Reported in the Washington Times:

FBI raids Obama friend’s office

The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.

Mr. Walsh, who served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005, was endorsed by Mr. Obama in his county executive election bid. With the support of some of Mr. Obama’s U.S. Senate volunteers, he easily defeated incumbent Republican Joseph Mikan.

Will County auditor Steve Weber confirmed that his office had been asked by the FBI to assist in an investigation, but he did not elaborate on the specifics.

Two FBI agents out of Chicago reportedly spent more than an hour in the Will County offices on Wednesday morning.

According to sources, the Walsh investigation may be tied to lobbying firm Smith Dawson and Andrews, which was hired in 2006 for $10,000 per month to help Will County acquire federal grants.

The firm, which is registered with the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, assists clients with communications and legislative strategies that better their public policy agendas, according to its Web site. Last month, Mr. Walsh announced that Will County was the recipient of a $750,000 federal government grant that would allow law enforcement and prosecutors to fight against domestic violence.

One of the firm’s partners, James P. Smith, contributed $2,000 to help Mr. Walsh’s county executive election bid.

A corn farmer from Joliet, Mr. Walsh has supported his friend’s presidential bid, and campaigned for him in rural and farming areas of the state. They are seen hugging each other in photos before Mr. Obama’s announcement that he was running for president.

The two men became tight friends during their tenure in the Illinois Senate and bonded over games of poker. According to a report in Time magazine, Mr. Walsh lost to Mr. Obama once with what he thought was a winning hand, and then slammed down his cards and said: “Doggone it, Barack, if you were more liberal in your card-playing and more conservative in your politics, you and I would get along much better.”

Mr. Walsh denied any knowledge of any investigation.

“I don’t have a clue what you are talking about,” Mr. Walsh said in reports published Thursday in the Chicago Sun-Times.

AND THE ACADEMY AWARD GOES TO………….

Today….while saying disparaging remarks about Senator Obama………”off the record”……Jesse Jackson took the….much coveted (amongst race-baiting preachers)……… sacrificial lamb award….

The award has most recently been held by none other…..than the lovable…….. Jeremiah wright……

We all remember Wright’s performance, a few months ago, at the National Press club……..who can forget?…..it will always be remembered as the moment that allowed Obama to officially disown Wright…..interestingly enough, both Wright and Obama continued to communicate after the incident….they just did it off the record…through an intermediary…..you may have heard of him…Father Pfleger…..

Anyway…in about an hour we will hear Jackson’s comments, in their entirety, on the O’Reilly Factor…..comments that were supposedly made off the record, while the camera was off…..supposedly Jackson did not know the mic was on….really?

It seems to me that a guy who lives his life w/ a mic wired to him………would know when to talk, and when not to….

This seems like an old, and recycled, Axelrod trick to me…….good old machine style politics….

What a great way for Obama to get some distance from his well known….and controversial.. …..supporter, political mentor, and East Bank Club buddy…..

Next…… we’re going to see Louis Farrakhan submitting an anti-obama op-ed to the Wall Street Journal….

UPDATE: For the five remaining people who have not seen the video, here it is:

Notice the hand gesture…….and the ohhhhhh face….beautiful piece of acting…..

WHEN OBAMA DISOWNED JEREMIAH WRIGHT HE TURNED TO ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISORS……….FATHER PFLEGER…….ON THE SAME DAY JEREMIAH WRIGHT ALSO LEANED ON PFLEGER…….WHO’S PFLEGER?…….A CATHOLIC PRIEST…ON CHICAGO’S SOUTHSIDE WHO RAILS AGAINST THE WHITE MAN…..AND HILLARY

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , , on May 29, 2008 by Ray

THIS IS FATHER PFLEGER…… A PRIEST ON CHICAGO’S SOUTHSIDE…….A SPIRITUAL ADVISOR TO BARACK OBAMA……..SPEAKING AT TRINITY UNITED…..BARACK OBAMA’S CHURCH.

Here is an article outlining Pfleger’s conversations with both Jeremiah Wright, and Barack Obama on April 29th….the day Obama disowned Wright. I wrote an article about this at the time

SO…TO SUM UP…..WHEN OBAMA DISOWNED JEREMIAH WRIGHT, FOR HIS PUBLIC DISPLAY OF HIS RADICAL VIEWS………..OBAMA TURNED TO FATHER PFLEGER AND HIS RADICAL VIEWS………CAN WE NOW, FINALLY, CONCLUDE…..THAT THIS MAY BE A REFLECTION OF OBAMA’S RADICAL VIEWS??……

You can read more about this HERE

AND, HERE

AND MANY OTHER BLOGS….

NOW ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA……CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT SCOTT McCLLELAN FOR 2 MINUTES………….AND, DO THEIR JOB……AND COVER THIS STORY

TO ALL OF THE OBAMA APOLOGISTS WHO THINK THIS ISN’T A STORY….THAT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE……..BUT, I THINK THIS IS A STORY……..AND, I BELIEVE MILLIONS OF OTHERS WILL TOO……..JUST AS THEY DID WITH JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

PS:
TO OLBERMANN AND NBC. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RELENTLESS COVERAGE OF THE HAGEE/McCAIN ENDORSEMENT SCANDAL LAST WEEK…….AS YOU, KEITH, ARE SUCH A BALANCED JOURNALIST…….AND, AS MSNBC IS SUCH A FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS CHANNEL…..I AM QUITE CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL PURSUE THIS STORY WITH THE SAME GUSTO YOU PURSUED HAGEE/McCAIN……IN FACT, I AM SURE YOU WILL MENTION PFLEGER’S STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH LOUIS FARRAKHAN……

IN ADVANCE, THANK YOU MSNBC….THANK YOU KEITH…….FOR SHOOTING IT STRAIGHT……

75,000 PEOPLE GO TO OBAMA PEP RALLY………WHICH ALSO WAS A FREE CONCERT…….HEADLINED BY THE DECEMBERISTS…….A BAND OF COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZERS…..WONDER WHY THE MEDIA DID NOT SHARE THE WHOLE STORY

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , on May 24, 2008 by Ray

COMMUNIST CONCERT/OBAMA PEP RALLY

Last weekend the mainstream media plastered this image everywhere, with the caption…..”75,000 peole turn out for Obama Rally”…

IF THE MEDIA TOLD THE TRUTH…THE CAPTION WOULD, AND SHOULD….HAVE SAID:

“75,000 white socialists turn out to see the Decemberists, a popular indie band named after a Russian Revolt….typically the band starts off their concerts with the Russian national anthem….but today they conclude their concert with Barack Obama, instead.”

SO OBAMA IS GOING TO LOWER THE NATION’S GAS PRICES?……..FUNNY…..MAYBE HE SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY CHICAGO HAS THE HIGHEST GAS PRICES IN THE COUNTRY

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , on May 22, 2008 by Ray

For those curious to know what an Obama presidency will be like……look no further than the Socialist Republic of Chicago………Chicago leads the nation in sales tax at 10.25%………we also lead the nation in gasoline taxes…….so if your looking to drive a car, or buy a shirt…….you probably should not do it in Chicago.

Now, one would conclude that with such high taxes, Illinois should be swimming in money….but, the opposite is the case. Because of our State Government……..Which is lead by Chicago Political Machine Robot, Rod Blagojevich……..and, which also has a democrat senate majority…….. our state has an embarrassing, and inexcusable unbalanced budget….causing our vital public transportation to deteriorate (unlike most cities, Chicagoans rely on public transportation), and our public health care system to be in shambles.

Keep in mind…not only did Obama endorse our Current Govenor (Rod Blagojevich), who is primarily responsible for Illinois’ problems, in our last gubernatorial elections……..but, in fact, both Blagojevich and Obama share a Syrian best Friend, and mentor…..you may have heard of him….Tony Rezko.

ANOTHER MIDDLE-EAST ADVISOR OBAMA IS GOING TO HAVE TO DISOWN

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , on May 14, 2008 by Ray

At a May 13, 2008, conference organized by the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI)……Daniel Kurtzer, Sen. Barack Obama’s Middle East adviser, said:

“Jerusalem must be included in any negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority,”
full article: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=64186

This statement is not very cohesive with Obama’s statements of support for Israel……considering Obama has no foreign policy experience….the foreign policy advisers he selects, say quite a bit about him, and the policy he will try and implement when in office.

OBLIGATORY RESPONSE TO AN OBAMA ROBOT COMMENTING HERE

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , on May 13, 2008 by Ray

Occasionally it is fun to post the comments of Obama supporters on this site, for everyone to see….I do this because I believe in the freedom of speech….unlike most Obama supporters I believe that all perspectives should be heard….I do not want Olbermann banned, as the Obamanites want Hannnity and Fox News banned….I want everyone to be heard…..So here you go….The comment below is tame by Obama supporter standards…..and it is completely lame by objective standards.

The Comment is from Obama Robot (Joe), in regards to my “Obama Says Media Is Giving McCain a Free Pass” posting.

Joe’s Comment:

“If only you could post anything remotely intelligent, this could be interesting. But you have nothing to support your argument rather than the typical attack the liberals argument.”

…..Keep in mind Joe provides no other detail, no link to his blog, just his name…courageous. Also, keep in mind, that my article is citing specific examples of media bias…i.e…my argument is supported by facts.

—————————————————————————————————–
MY RESPONSE TO JOE:

Joe,

1. I am liberal-that is why I would like our media to be less biased towards one candidate….true liberals have open minds, and like to hear all perspectives..not just one.

2. my article (you know-the unintelligent one) is supported with facts—please point out something, I referenced, that is untrue. Your posting seems to be based on emotion, which you confuse with intelligence.

Based on your lack of tolerance for dissenting point of views, feelings of intellectual superiority, and emotional decision making—you must support Barack Obama.

It is quite interesting how so many people who consider themselves intellectually superior (as you apparently do) would support a candidate without doing any due-diligence on the candidate. I would challenge you to point to specific, and SIGNIFICANT, examples of CHANGE in Chicago, that were brought on by Barack Obama. I would challenge you to find times where Obama stood up to the status quo of the Chicago Political Machine. I would challenge you to point to specific neighborhoods in Chicago that have been changed by Barack Obama……I’m waiting….and so is the City of Chicago.

ANOTHER WELL DONE JOHN KASS EDITORIAL–MORE ANGER FROM THE OBAMA FANS

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , on May 10, 2008 by Ray

More truth telling from John Kass, in his Chicago Tribune editorial…

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/05/obama_unstained_by_chicago_way.html#more

the comments, by Obama supporters…. below his editorial……. are hilarious, and disturbing………..The moment a commentator, or journalist, questions Obama, or points to his flaws….calls for banishment, criminal punishment, and censorship come from the Obama supporters…..the comments, accompanying this article…..shout John Kass down…..with zero fact….just rhetoric……if Hillary can’t figure something out…………..Obama v McCain will not be pretty…….It will be a contest between the illogical and logical……unfortunately, as more truth comes out about obama, the illogical will probably continue to cover their ears, and shout back louder……or craft together some more inspirational songs, or chants….the more songs, celebs, and slogans…..the more righteous the Obama fans feel.

MR GOOD JUDGEMENT HAS TO DEFEND MORE BAD JUDGEMENT

Posted in obama with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 10, 2008 by Ray

Another adviser to the Obama campaign is forced to step down

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article3897414.ece

….Another adviser talking to Hamas…Another appeaser to the militant Islamic movement, tied to Obama……I thought we were supposed to vote for Obama because of his judgment……He admits he has no experience…its his judgment we’re supposed to admire, right?

Next militant Islamic sympathizing friend of obama’s….that he will soon have to denounce………. Columbia professor, Rashid Khalidi, also mentioned in the article above…..Rashid is best known for branding Israel an…“apartheid system in creation”…..

If Obama makes it to the general election…will he pick Bloomberg, or Ed Rendell, as his VP?….will he use the VP position as a way to politically make a mends for his 20 year associations with anti-Israel, radical islamic sympathizers……will the strategy work, or will people see right through this act of political expediency …….will Rendell or Bloomberg compromise their principles to work for this man?…….Let’s hope not
