Hardball
Rep Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) commenting on whether she was truly considered by Blagojevich. She asked him point blank on November 18th and he said yes. She feels she wasn’t really because:
He never asked me for anything. The conversation didn’t even approach that. Of course, I would never done a quid pro quo [Daley Machine translation = pay to play] of the kind that he was thinking about."
…the kind he was thinking about. Not never - just not his grand delusions. But then again...she was never asked, was she?
Matthews then asked if Blagojevich's wife being in the deal was normal and she said absolutely inappropriate. Then he asked if personal contributions were out of the ordinary? Do you believe this? He thinks some types of pay-to-play are acceptable. Well, they are mandatory to break into Chicago politics. Barry is loyal to Daley. He turns on him and he’s the one going down. Why he's a Soxfan and why he backed the ever-colorful Dorothy Tillman.
Wake up, folks. Do a little research now that the obamerism is wearing off. Look at what barry did to get elected. Why did his opponent, Jack Ryan's divorce records get unsealed just in time for barry to win basically unopposed in his US senate race? The Court ruled they should be unsealed and five days later barry went public and said they shouldn't be used.
Any of this sound familiar? Look what he did in his previous campaigns. The only one he couldn’t finagle was Rep Bobby Rush, former Black Panther member and well-loved Chicagoan. At that point, barry wasn’t considered “black enough” and he "talked too white". Rush 61% barry 30%. Couldn't use the race card either. Explains the spanking. Pres Clinton endorsed Rush, which I'm sure added to barry's lack of character in dealing with him because he was "busy".
Two insightful comments from Rep Rush before it became sacrilegious to tell the truth about barry.
RUSH: Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it.
Love that quote. Truth - a rarity. On barry's failed run. CAPS added.
RUSH: He was blinded by his ambition. Obama has never suffered from a lack of believing that he can accomplish whatever it is he decides to try. OBAMA BELIEVES IN OBAMA. And, frankly, that has its good side but it also has its negative side.
barry's own thoughts on having his "rear end handed to him". The Audacity of Hope:
It was a race in which everything that could go wrong did go wrong, in which my own mistakes were compounded by tragedy and farce.
Less than halfway into the campaign, I knew in my bones that I was going to lose. Each morning from that point forward I awoke with a vague sense of dread, realizing that I would have to spend the day smiling and shaking hands and pretending that everything was going according to plan.
RUSH: I'm a race politician and he's not. I don't compromise. I don't step back. I don't try to deny it. I'm proud to be African American.
And what did barry do? He paid Rush back by running to Hawaii to avoid voting on Rush's gun legislation, which was prompted by the random shooting death of Rush's son. Lost by 5 votes. And then there is his DC Handgun ban flipflop. Watch how he brags on his background in constitutional law.

So why the selective memory as pertains "natural born" citizen? He has known all along he is technically not a "natural born" citizen. He admits on his own website that he is a "native citizen of the United States of America".
How does that make you feel about the self-proclaimed man of judgment, integrity and integrity?
Open your eyes, find a piece of paper, take out pen, pencil or other writing utensil and check off each of barry's missed votes, presents, I pushed the wrong buttons, I didn't know the vote was coming (Iran guard) and massive list flip flops and find one where he actually stood up for something with direct consequences to himself.
I'll save a tree: there aren't any. But you'll have a clear look at barry's REAL political career of political expedient obamanation -- not the proobamedia made-for-TV movie obamessiah version.
It's all there. And the fact that the proobamedia has been shocked by Blagojevich proves (once again) the pro-Obama media bias. They have never once looked at him with a jaundiced eye and some of them are deflecting/directing their anger at barry. It’s their own fault.
Richard Wolffe, Herr Olbermann, Norah O’Donnell and David Gergen are starting to get peeved. Waa-waa-waa instead of O-baaa-ma. Jonjon Alter will never give up the ship. Jake Tapper has been woken up it appears. I haven’t been watching CNN, but I imagine Candy Crowley has dug in like she did with Wright, NAFTA, Rezko and other issues. She's the only the one and only media member on CNN to not be completely corrupted - and how was she rewarded? Convention floor duty, traveling and video feeds from the primary results. Not exactly a great use of her award-winning reporting. I can recall her being on the CNN panel only once - at the end - when there was nowhere else they could rightfully send her.
Now what about Contessa Brewer, Tamron Hall, Norah O’Donnell, Kyra Phillips, Olbermann's fraternal twin, Rachel Maddow and newly self-appointed sexist and misogyny czar, Alma Campbell Brown. No Bias, No Bull? New program after barry won the election and yet the pro-Obama media bias continues. Check out the home page - three big pictures of her. Why not wallpaper it?
Look at Ms Crowley credentials and ask yourself why she doesn't have her own show. And was Andrea Mitchell offered Meet the Press?
Yo, Alma - where are your No Bias, No Bull BS thoughts on that?
