Voting procedures need to be revamped

January 8, 2009

The Senate made the final official electoral count - as expected 365-173. Dick Cheney read as his last VP duty:

Pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the United States, the Senate and House of Representatives are meeting in joint session to verify the certificates and count the votes of the electors of the several states.

barry and biden can now be officially inaugurated on 1-20-09.

I wouldn't count on SCOTUS to do anything to change that - no matter how inclined and no matter the evidence. At this point it is too late - which was the point in the delaying.

From a non-political person, who has never voted and had not been involved in politics of any sort until Jan 08 - the voting process needs to be changed. Each person's vote is not counted the same. The superdelegates decided this election after the DNC Rules Committee decided to hijack the votes in Michigan and give delegates to barry whose name was not on the ballot and therefore not one vote could have been proved to have been cast for him.

Are any Michiganders suing? If so, what would be their recourse?

It was an illegal primary. A vital and (deciding as far as popular vote) deliberation went on behind closed doors. Absolute corruption. You cannot have a process be clean if one element of it is dirty. The primary results will forever be illegal.

Imagine the outrage if Sen Clinton and barry's positions would have been reversed. It would never happen. No way. Period. That alone reflects its illegality and inherent bias. The Double Standard.

Then there are all the other irregularities with ACORN, bused in voters and the choosing of South Carlina and Nevada as the two primaries moved up. And had they been Michigan and New York? It was an intentional intervention that directly affected the outcome. As was the proven to exist proobama media bias.

Should be:

1 - No caucuses. Completely undemocratic and are subject to coercion and intimidation. They are inherently biased toward some demographics - in this case, Sen Clinton's: seniors, shift workers and single moms, which most definitely the outcome as she won only 1/14. And the one she won - Nevada - had many complaints of barry voter intimidation and is presently being litigated. Again - what is the recourse? So what's stopping someone from doing it as long as nothing happens before the general election?

2 - Every state should have a vote in the primaries. The primary vote is more important and the individual's vote means more because they can vote for whomever they want - not just the final choice. Primaries should take place over the period of two weeks or so - no longer.

3 - Superdelegates should be completely abolished. They decided this election. Period. They could have voted for Sen Clinton just as easily as they both got the same amount of votes - actually more people actually pulled the lever for Sen Clinton - that should not be forgotten much the same that Al Gore's vote count. barry won by virtue of caucus states (13/14) only 4 of which were blue. That is not the will of the democrats. A caucus in Idaho should not count the same as a 100K lead in votes in a blue state like Ohio or Pennsylvania. barry did not get the required number of delegates to win. Period.

4 - ID standards should be the same in every state as should the voting machines and procedures.

5 - Both parties should abide by the exact same procedures and rules for nomination.

5 - Independents should be allowed for whomever they want in every state.

6 - Absolute cap on campaign finances. barry broke his promise and was not held accountable. Say what you want - barry bought the election. He outspent McCain massively at the end and McCain could not fight back. (Neither could Sen Clinton.)

Well, that's my two cents.

barry's Certification of Live Birth

January 3, 2009

You asked for a copy. I couldn't find the old post so here. Go to Dr "Ron Polarik's" website for the technical breakdown of the alleged forgery. Note: it takes a while to load because of the enlarged photo evidence.

barry's Certification of Live Birth posted on KOS shows an obvious difference in security borders.

Official Certification of Nomination for POTUS

December 28, 2008

This is something I hadn't seen before. Nanci Pelosi's official certification that barry is eligible to be POTUS. And if he is proven ineligible?

"Natural born citizen" defined

December 1, 2008

NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution contains the clause:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Additionally, the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that:

[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." The grandfather provision of the Natural Born Citizen Clause thus covered the first several presidents and vice-presidents, who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, but had been born as British citizens before the American Revolution.

The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides an additional source of constitutional doctrine stating that birth "in the United States" and subjection to U.S. jurisdiction at the time of birth, entitles one to citizenship:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States are subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are Citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside...

Section 8 of Article One of the United States Constitution confers on Congress the power "to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization..." This power has been construed to include defining the characteristics of a "natural born citizen", as well as the conditions of "naturalization". But, according to the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual, "the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes. (The presidency)

Senators McCaskill and Leahey (and Obama) tried this through the 4-30-08 resolution:

Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a "natural born Citizen" under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.

Cox News Service EUNICE MOSCOSO

WHO IS A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN?

The Founding Fathers never defined what it means to be a natural-born American citizen. Federal law defines several instances in which a person qualifies. They include:

— Anyone born inside the United States.

— Any Indian, Eskimo Aleutian, or member of another aboriginal tribe born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the United States does not impair the person's right to tribal or other property.

— Anyone born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year.

— Anyone born outside the United States, as long as one parent is a U.S. citizen of the United States who lived in the United States for at least five years, with military or diplomatic service included in that time.

— Anyone found in the United States, under the age of 5, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21.

barry's admits on his website that he is a NATIVE born citizen:

The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.

Quote of the day: "changed the light bulbs in his chandelier"

November 17, 2008

Another Republican lets loose. I didn't expect it to be Mike Huckabee, who's doing a press junket for his new book. Is there anyone associated with this election cycle not out hawking their book?

He's angry at Romney because he didn't congratulate him on his Iowa win. He also rags on Romney for changing his conservative views right before he ran. Who doesn't? barry's still changing. Huckabee on Romney: "his record was anything but conservative until he changed the light bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for president."

When was the last time Mitt Romney changed a light bulb of any sort?

Old home week: Father Pfleger

Father Pfleger in Wright and barry's church a month after wright's rant exhorting the congregants to support barry. The primaries were basically over. Nothing he said mattered - not that it would ever have. Remember that barry has known Pfleger longer than wright. Imagine if this were "Hillary's" pastor mocking barack? Sen McCain's pastor trashing on Mrs barry? Not happening. The Double Standard. How is this a More Perfect Union? Fellow Americas are being treated differently because of the color of their skin but it's ok because it's white skin.

Folks, do you not see this or don't you care?

The adulterer has no shame

November 12, 2008

Edwards has slithered out from under his rock like a cockroach at night. Imagine if he were a woman. Does he ever think of his family? Is that his baby or not? The DNC knew about his affair and knew he was not fit to be or even run for president but they let him run to dilute the vote. It worked to perfection in Iowa. And they're talking about a comeback? I'll take either Clinton's or Biden's Bosnia lies - somebody entering a presidential race knowing the the media is aware of and has proof of his adultery is evil. No two ways about it. The DNC is complicit in manipulating this whole election, as they are defending barry against Berg re: birth certificate and eligibility to become president. Barry's $800 million doesn't need Dean or the DNC - he sent 5000 lawyers down to Florida alone to ensure the election. FIVE THOUSAND. And there have to be thousands willing to work for free. Are Edwards' donors and pledged delegates making him answer for his deceit? Barry's judgment? He asked for Edwards' endorsement and got it. Who really believes barry is anything he says? Best wishes when he proves it and may God keep us safe.

Howard Dean's done

November 10, 2008

Howard Dean is going to step down as DNC Chairman. It wasn't as if he had a chance to keep on. He and the rest of the DNC were intent on making Obama the nominee. He did his job. Had Dean and the rest of his pink-faced presidential failures had done their job - there would be no Bush and most likely no Iraq. Something they seem to forget even as they tear him apart.

In our poll:
Did Dean do an honorable job?
Yes 26% No 20% Should be fired 52%

Did the DNC treat Senators Clinton and Obama the same?
Yes 23% No 71%

Do you think Nanci Pelosi was ever neutral?
Yes 29% No 68%

No one, if honest, needs a poll to tell that the DNC was massively biased toward Barry and actively against Senator Clinton. The true (lack of) character of Dean came through when he commented on the media treatment of Senator Clinton. He didn't even pretend that it was his job to look out for all Democratic candidates.

Sen Clinton advisor Ann Lewis vs Mike Allen from Politico

A blast from the past
March 23, 2008
ABC 7 Capital Sunday's segment "Turn the Tables"
(I'm not familiar with the show. I wonder if they kept the segment after this.)

Mike Allen from Politico is politely confronted about pro-obama media bias by Senior Clinton Advisor, Ann Lewis. Listen to the question. Watch how Allen can't even look Ms Lewis in the eye as he waffles. And then he complains about a follow-up question. This was at the point when Sen Clinton released her White House papers and the first thing the pro-obama media did was report that "She was in the White House THAT day!" Allen says obama scrutiny will increase. Did it? Read his articles and you have the answer. It's not worth pointing out again. Just watch him. That's all one needs to know who he is. Same as watching Jonathan Martin, who is quite the odd odd duck.

Video courtesy of thedscir
Here's Allen's (I hate to even promote his corrupted words) article (4/8) concentrating on Sen Clinton's falsehoods but no investigation, as promised, into Barry's own - concerning his taxes, his health, Rezko and Wright. And then on 4/13, Allen goes into barry's bitter comments with nary a sentence on Barry's own tendency to lie, lie, lie. Please note that barry's comments took place on 4/6. You Tube and archives - how better to demonstrate how little integrity the pro-obama media has...as if proof is any longer needed.

All Hail to the Obamessiah?

September 16,2007
Iowa Steakfry

Country First...barry style

Sen Clinton and the woman next to her are looking at the singer. Gov Judas is watching the BBQ grill and obamessiah is looking for the Star of Bethlehem to shine down upon him! and command everyone to vote for him! Who does not find this crazy? He truly believes he is the obamessiah and all his people know that - not just in the US but the entire world.

All Hail to obamamessiah, a Messianic Complex as great as another man, who rose to power with the aid of media corruption. But the German people didn't have the internet to inform themselves. And yet what does it matter? It never mattered. He was always going to win. Think of what happened behind closed doors about Michigan. That was illegal. The law requires the proceedings to be held in public. Period. Illegitimate forever more. No double standard? Would that have ever been allowed to happen if it were reversed? Absolutely not. Would he have been told repeatedly tor drop out when not a vote was cast at the conventions and he has as much of a chance to win as she? No. A simple resounding no.

Race worked as an advantage in this election. That will be irrevocably proven even to the obamerized. Those not hypnotized have seen it for 18 months - me for nine.

So there he stands, above it all barry the professor before his $150,000 shopping spree for his $1500 suits. Remember folks he was already running to be Commander-in-Chief. How many brave Americans hospitalized in Landstuhl wanted an explanation for this? Is that why he refused to go? His behavior is inexcusable. And 14 months later he is about to become president of the United States. Another example of the Double Standard. Pandering the Pledge of Allegiance before rallies doesn't make up for this. What does Joe the Biden think? Lady and Gentlemen, it's more patriotic to pay taxes than it is for his boss to honor the flag? Any wonder why barry's gonna need help and why a flag pin isn't gonna fix it?

Any wonder why a POW, who was tortured because of that flag, questions the patriotism of the man standing there refusing to honor it? Refusing to honor all the brave men and women who were injured, tortured, maimed or lost their mind and/or lives defending it?

Any wonder why his running mate, who has a teenage son on active duty in Iraq, has questions about barry's patriotism when she sees this picture and then sees Ayers, a man barry passed off as "a guy in the neighborhood", standing on the flag grinning?

The same man who was bombing American buildings and killing American citizens while her running mate was fighting to live. The same man, a domestic terrorist, who remains unrepentant and was so when he held barry's coming out party, when Barry took $200 from him, when barry voluntarily sat on a board with him and even now when barry continues to lie about his relationship with him.

Yes, I can see why they are questioning barry's patriotism. I can see why they would wonder if he would put country first.

Red, white and blue are the only colors that matter in this election but only black and white are mentioned.

barry "ran the best campaign ever"

November 3, 2008

barry has not run the campaign of the century the proobama media is waxing poetically about.

1 - Steady. Lost after winning 11-in-a-row and needed to be coronated. He couldn't WIN it. The best campaign ever does not need to be coronated.

2 - No mistakes. This is the funniest one. No mistakes got noticed by the proobama media. Or if it was it was deliberately not discussed.

3 - Stayed on message. And changed his stance on about everything.

4 - Handled the economy. By sitting back, doing nothing and characterizing McCain as an erratic, lurching, hotheaded bathrobe and slipper wearing old man. barry made the worst ad ever in this campaign. McCain's rage a nation security issue. It was pure evil. Got no press.

5 - Best ground game. Basic Daley Machine and $800 million dollars buys a lot of airtime. A 30-minute prime time infomercial holding up the World Series?

6 - Record turnout. 8 years of the worst president in history, two wars and a tanked economy is responsible for the turnout...and then there's ACORN.

7 - Honorable campaign. Don't need anymore than to see that all three of barry's opponents plus President Clinton leave the race racists. Transcender of Race? Man of Integrity?

8 - He trounced Senator Clinton. She picked up a net 400K in the closing primaries. She had more voters actually pull the lever for her. They were separated by .1% of the vote. He outspent Sen Clinton at times 5:1. in PA and she won by 10 points. She had wins by 40 points. She was behind by ~140 delegates (Kennedy 700?) who aren't bound to their pledge.

9 - Primary was illegitimate because of the behind closed doors negotiations on Michigan. He got delegates from a state where his name was not on the ballot. Neither could win without the superdelegates. How is this democratic? A group of citizens cast votes that were more powerful than ever the delegates. And a large group of democratic voters in Michigan had their votes highjacked forever illegitimizing the primary. The Michiganders had no role in having the primary moved up and if every other citizen had their vote counted as cast - theirs should have been respected also. And what barry did about getting those delegates showed The American People just how far barry will got to win. He did not need those 4 delegates and he did not need the votes. His win was guaranteed and everyone on this planet knew that. It was evil. He and the DNC didn't just set out to win - they set out to destroy the Clintons - barry in the lead.

10 - His delegate lead was directly from the caucuses. He won caucuses of states where there were a total of 5-8k voters and they had as much weight as some larger states. Only 4/13 were blue states.

11 - Without Senator Clinton pushing him to the very last Primary - he would not have had a chance with voters. If he had gone out in April as they were all screaming at her to do - the specter of wright would have remained that he would not have been able to overcome. Also the vetting by the Republicans would have started earlier and the pro-obama media would not have been able to squelch all of it. It came to ate to be useful and it was the same things the Clinton campaign had raised before.

12 Proobama media bias caused him to be "teflon barry". They chose what to cover. For example, during the worst wright flareup, Clinton got more negative coverage. Palin has had more scrutiny when biden has been laughed at.

This race was remarkably close and yet barry ran the best campaign ever? He ran a campaign that got away with whatever he wanted. Fact. I only hope I live long enough to see it proven irrefutably. And I hope I live long enough to see what happens with this inevitable crisis: Georgia and Russia.

Sen Clinton earned her way onto the ticket. Remember the change of no old Washington? Out with the old and in with the new? And then - as usual - his actions don't come close to his words and he picks the third longest running senator out of political expedience. Oh well this is tiring. It's the same thing he has done his entire political career and he is the Herald of New Politics. No thanks.

The truth is clear in this election for the nonobamerized. Folks decide to go with the unproven and ever waffling never have made a decision vs and old man using the "POW card" and a ditzball from the wilderness with an IQ of Caribou Barbie and of course THAT woman who far surpasses barry as a politician. Clinton had complete command of the issues without the need 2500 advisors. Very sad. How is barry running his campaign? Viciously and without honor.

But what other choice was there? If McCain had Mitt Romney (even his name is presidential) on the ticket it would be a whole different story

barry obamanates wright

April 28, 2008
FOX NEWS Chris Wallace (emphasis added)

WALLACE: Do you think that Reverend Wright is just the victim here?

BARRY: No. I think that people were legitimately offended by some of the comments that he had made in the past. The fact he's my former pastor I think makes it a legitimate political issue. So I understand that.

WALLACE: Did you talk to reverend Wright recently about his decision to make a series of public appearances at this particular point?

BARRY: You know, I didn't talk to him about that. I had talked to him after all this had happened, partly because I regretted — I always regret people who are civilians, essentially, being dragged into these political fights.

[He didn't seem to mind having Chelsea Clinton and the entire Palin family being attacked all the way down to a six-moth-old special soul ad an incesting father.]

BARRY: And I expressed to him — I said, "Look, we have very strong differences. I do not agree with the comments that you made. On the other hand, I regret that you have drawn so much attention.

He means him.

BARRY: And I also regretted the church drawing so much attention. I mean, you had reporters who were coming in and taking church bulletins, you know, the sick and the shut-in, and they were getting phone calls from reporters, and so that was something that I regretted, and I talked to him about that.

barry: "IF I LOSE , IT WON'T BE BECAUSE OF RACE"

April 28, 2008 FOX News Interview with Chris Wallace.

Obama says unequivacally that RACE WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE.
WALLACE: Senator, for all your efforts to run a post-racial campaign, isn't there still a racial divide in this country that is going to make it very hard for you to get elected president?

OBAMA: And if I fit the bill, then they will vote for me. If I lose, it won't be because of race. It will be because, you know, I made mistakes on the campaign trail, I wasn't communicating effectively my plans in terms of helping them in their everyday lives.

But I don't think that race is going to be a barrier in the general election.

How he has changed his mind. Especially with the dollar bills when axelrod FINALLY admitted they were using race. On Clyburne ad Bill Clinton

WALLACE: Congressman James Clyburn, one of the top African American politicians in this country, said this week that blacks are furious with Bill Clinton for playing the race card.

Do you agree with him that there's been a deliberate effort by the former president and some Clinton supporters to make race an issue in this Democratic race?

OBAMA: I don't think there's been a deliberate effort. You know, I take the president at his word that, you know, he is...

WALLACE: Which one?

OBAMA: Well, oftentimes, you know, I think that he's been going after me hard. He may not have intended it in a racial way. I think he just sees me as competition against his wife. And that's what, you know, husbands do, hopefully, or spouses do in...

WALLACE: Lumping you in with Jesse Jackson...

OBAMA: ... political contests. Well, you know, I thought that that was probably somewhat dismissive, you know, after we had won that contest pretty handily.

And Jesse Jackson did not find anything offensive about what President Clinton said.

Voter irregularity: Nevada caucus

November 1, 2008

Ran across this post by WINGEDHUSSAR1683 about voter irregularities in the Nevada primary. Just look at the swing states and you'll find plenty of "voter irregularity". I believe ACORN is being investigated in each one. Senator Clinton's counsel, Lyn Utrecht, wrote a detailed letter (dated 1-23-08) to Jill Derby, Chair Nevada State Democratic Party. The entire letter is there and also: http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2008/images/01/23/nv.state.letter.1.23.08.pdf,
Backup http://www.stentorian.com/Obama/clinton_complaint.pdf

Evidently barry's camp sent a letter the day before complaining about the caucus. Typical MO. Accuse the other side, let the MSM run with it and his own problems get shoved to the blogosphere. His ego probably couldn't tolerate losing -- it was the only caucus Sen Clinton won.

LYN UTRECHT (emphasis added)
This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign's letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party's caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.

þ Preference cards were premarked for Obama.

þ Clinton supporters were denied preference cards on the basis that none were left, while Obama supporters at the same caucus sites were given preference cards.

þ Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama:
o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.
o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.
o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.
o Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough.
o Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.

þ Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.

þ Obama supporters wrongly informed Clinton supporters that they were not allowed to participate in the caucus if their names were not on the voter rolls. However, Obama supporters whose names did not appear on the voter rolls were permitted to register at the caucus site.

þ Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.

þ Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.

þ Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.

þ Voters at at-large caucus sites were informed that those sites were for Obama supporters only.

þ Clinton supporters at at-large caucus sites were told that their managers would be watching them while they caucused.

þ Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.

þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.

þ Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus.

þ Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.

The complaints summarized above represent only a small sample of the complaints received by the Committee. With respect to each of these complaints and many more, the Committee has the names and phone numbers of those reporting these incidents and the specific precinct numbers where the incidents occurred. Upon request the Committee will share these with the Party with appropriate safeguards to protect these individuals from reprisal. On the whole, these reports show a troubling effort by the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters to advance their own campaign at the expense of the right of all Nevada Democrats to participate in the democratic process in a free, fair and open manner.

Senator Clinton and the Committee are wholly committed to ensuring that every eligible voter has his or her vote cast and counted. There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters.
I really don't know why people are surprised by this. It's standard operating procedures in Chicago politics. barry's main accomplishment as community organizer was registering 150K new voters (with ACORN). And who were the votes for? Bill Clinton. Sorry don't know the status at present - but with that rundown and voters willing to testify I can't imagine it being shoved aside. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I also ran across a site that posted an outline of voter fraud in other states and a quick run down on barry's illegal donations. I'll see if I can find it...I'm transferring over posts and adding drafts as I am able.

Happy Monday!

Why not start your day with a laugh? It's clear which side barry got his dancing (non) skills from. It seems hugh malkin has a lot of time on his hands.

At 1-21-08 debate, when asked if he thought Bill Clinton was the first black president, Obama responded:"I would have to investigate more - Bill's dancing abilities and some of this other stuff before I accurately judged whether he was in fact a brother." He's probably wishing Ellen hadn't investigated his.

Blog of note: "Sweet on Obama"

October 25, 2008
Media Research Center has put together a "Sweet 16" voting for the media member most sweet on Obama. They're down to the "Infatuated four": Matthews (90%) vs Gibson (10%) and Lee Cowan (39) vs Alma Campbell Brown (61). The "Bias Finals" look to be Matthews vs Brown. The MVP Media's Most Valuable Partisan will be revealed on November 3rd so you have a week to vote.

I'm surprised by some of the ones included. I don't even know who Jeff Glor (CBS) is. And I was suprised by the clips they chose. Where was Olberman? Jonjon Alter? I'll put together an overview of our poll.

Michelle Obama's America

Here is Michelle Obama's view of America, the country she is for the first time in her life proud of. There's no doubting what she means or how she says it. This is the potential First Lady of the United States talking derogatorily about "that's America". The same America that nominated her husband. The same America that has him ahead in the polls. The same America where 8 million eligible black voters haven't found the time to register to vote to elect the first black man president of the United States of that same America, but threaten to riot if he isn't elected. The same America that will be called racist for not having voted in her husband. This is what she thinks of America after her husband teleprompted a speech on racial tolerance. A man who runs on unity, but uses the race card as his primary tactic.

I ask you has anyone ever heard him say, even once, hey I'm half-white, let's get passed this? Or remember the speech I gave where I equated my 86-year-old typical white person grandmother who raised, housed, fed and loved me to a hateful raging anti-American anti-White man who thinks Jews and Italians are inferior and that the government invented AIDS and were responsible for 9-11? The man who Obama allowed to remain an adviser in his official presidential campaign after he raged at his Christmas service that (the Former First Lady) "Hillary ain't never been called no Nigger"!?

For the record: Obama was at that service. Why else didn't the Secret Service say he wasn't?

Video courtesy of barackobamaLIED
Make sure to listen to the little disgusted laugh at the end. It's perfectly clear what she means. Just like: "As a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station."

Michelle Obama: "Folks" don't like change - they like feeling safe, whether it's right or wrong. "People" like their fear. Fear makes people feel comfortable (affected) 'cuz at least I know I'm afraid of somethin'. Let's start against the something I'm afraid of. "We" don't like being pushed out of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. "Folks" sitting at different tables. Y'all sittin' at different dorms. I was there. (recall her thesis) You're not talking to each other. Taking advantage of the fact that you're in this diverse community because sometimes it's easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your own ignorance...That's AMERICA."

As a first generation Polish-American living in Chicago, I am amazed at the racial double standard and what the Obama's have gotten away. What the press has allowed him to get away with. What is this white guilt about? I refuse to be labeled "White American" and be seen as a racist because of the color of my skin. How is this any different? Why does not anyone see this? How is this equality?

"Rahm Emanuel, even makes me anti-Semitic"

Ad "Rahm Emanuel for VP" about the foul-mouthed pitbull in a yarmulke, Rahm Emanuel. He like many other was given a job by President Clinton only to refuse to endorse Senator Clinton. A senate seat beats "loyalty". One wonders what Mayor Daley said to him.

Here's some interesting quotes from the Chicago Tribune (Mike Dorning & Christi Parsons) on him dated Jan 19, 2007.
Emanuel's dilemma is but one example of how Obama's rapid rise is interfering with the former first lady's carefully laid political plans and of the conflicting emotions of many Democratic activists now torn between loyalty to the Clintons and excitement over the party's rising star.

On Clinton's home turf, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and dean of the New York congressional delegation, encouraged Obama to enter the race and so far has declined to make an endorsement, antagonizing Clinton supporters who want the state's Democratic establishment united behind her candidacy. (We know how "loyal" Charlie ended up being.)

In fact, several Illinois Democratic operatives who are drawn to Obama confessed to a bit of early trepidation about lining up behind the senator because of concerns that an alliance would provoke vengeance from Emanuel, a famously unforgiving politician.

During an April 21 appearance last year on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher," Emanuel did not equivocate when asked whom he would support.

"I'm supporting Hillary Clinton. I'm public about it," Emanuel responded.

But it was President Bill Clinton who took Emanuel from Chicago to the White House as a senior aide and then offered him unstinting support when Emanuel ran his first campaign for Congress in 2002. And Emanuel always has maintained that he placed a high value on political loyalty.

He insists his quandary is less about political calculation than personal considerations. "Everybody knows I worked for the Clintons. I'm very close to the Clintons. And I'm very close to Barack. Let's be honest, does anybody want to pick among friends? It's a human thing, not a political thing," Emanuel said.

He added that he hoped to delay the inevitable choice "At some point, if I have to make a decision, I will. But I prefer, you know, they've got to go on and develop their campaigns," he said.

Obama, for his part, has had little to say. Asked about Emanuel's posture at a recent Tribune editorial board meeting, Obama smiled. "Rahm knows the right thing to do.
Said the ever arrogant messiah. June 4th Emanuel "officially" endorsed Obama though it was obvious for months. He called Senator Clinton.
