Oprah-pa-looza, Part 2

Is Sarah invited?

Is this the same lady that did not want Palin on her show because there was an election going on? If Oprah thought there was backlash over that, just wait!

“highlight the role and significance of women’s leadership in electing Barack Obama,”
Obama was already elected President?

present important policy and campaign strategy updates and provide field tools for women to take back to their communities.”
Huh? Take back their communities?

Oprah chicargo house isnt gated!!
????

Oprah is bored with her position in life so she has to attach herself to whoever is rising in the mainstream media limelight. Obama allows her to join him because she has money and power, while distancing himself from other black people because they don’t. It is telling that your article states Obama doesn’t want to be seen with Oprah.

We should make campaign contributions taxable income for the campaigns.
What size corporation would Obama’s campaign be, if it were counted as a business?

Funny, no Gwen Ifill?

WOW!
Taking the Repub game of raising money and putting it to shame.
Money money money moooooooooneeeeeeeeey!
MOOOOOOOOOOONNEEEEEEEEY!
Poor Mcchicken. Poor GOP. Poor cynics.
“THAT ONE” has officially opened up a several different cans of Chicago Whoop A**.
Repubs will never be the same after this.

don’t hate……appreciate

Sarah is welcome I’m sure, but I guess she will crash the party after she finish her six pack. She can put the $28,500 on her governor’s expense account.To most Americans a six pack is becoming a luxury thanks to George and John,the new Laurel and Hardy team. Nono disrespect to Mr.Laurel or Mr.Hardy .

Captain America,
There is plenty of room in the Alaskan AIP if this is so Repugnant to you.
People of color, including the NATIVE AMERICANS have been in this country since its inception.
You have got to get over this. (or not).
Joe S.P.,
Put down your Bud(weiser), which in part thanks to Cindy McCain, is now a foreign entity, and tell me WHY should Dems invite the Republician rival?
Still, she might just be uniformed enough to pay 25K to attend. (sorry). Say it ain’t so Joe…

**We are the GREAT DEPRESSION II and Oprah, Michelle Obama and the gals are living high off the hog **
Is it fair to ask the teacher making $30,000/year to pay taxes while Obama’s high-off-the-hog campaign can rake in millions in one night without having to pay any taxes on it?
A portion of every contribution should be taxed.

All that money and fame and Oprah still needs her little worshippers to build up her ego.
Just like her friend Barry.
He can’t survive without the adoration.
What’s going to happen when he fails miserably as president?

I hate to tell you people this but Obama spending all that money on Advertising is really helping a lot of small companies trying to stay afloat. I wish he was here in Des Moines, Ia, giving us some of it. I have gone 2 weeks without any work. The first thing companies do is cut Advertising when the economy goes out the door.

The only bright spot about BHO becoming president?
Is to see the reaction of all of his mindless followers when he turns out to be a terrible president.
When the media turns on him because they can no longer attack Bush, Palin, Hillary and McCain.
When the buck stops with Obama,Frank, Pelosi and they get all the blame.

Even more dramatic was the shift in the voters’ personal reactions to the two candidates. Before the debate, McCain had a 48/46 favorability rating; that improved to 56/36 by the end. But that’s about where Obama started the evening—54/36. After an hour and a half, Obama’s favorability numbers were 80/14. As Joe Biden would say, let me repeat that: 80% of the undecided voters had favorable views of Obama and only 14% saw him negatively for a net rating of +66. Not even Bill Clinton got such a warm response in town hall formats.

Captain America -
Hard as I tried, I could find no mention of Lebron James in this article. Bob Rubin, Laura Tyson, Senator Klobuchar, Madeleine Albright, and Lilly Ledbetter are all white.
Even if they were all black, what difference would it make?

“You didn’t say squat.”
Obama and Biden are the ones saying paying taxes is patriotic.

“Who is going to pay for this tax break and will Obama write a check to these 40% of folks that don’t pay taxes. I for one, do not wish to pay to the most of the 40% of folks that don’t work and probably in the last 40 years haven’t held a job. ”
That’s the new American way. You work hard to pay for college and make some money so that you can give it to someone that doesn’t have to.

“Is it fair to ask the teacher making $30,000/year to pay taxes while Obama’s high-off-the-hog campaign can rake in millions in one night without having to pay any taxes on it?
A portion of every contribution should be taxed.”
I love the hypocrisy of Republicans
Palin has been to 3 big fundraisers in the last 4 days.
So John McCain & the RNC are not only spending millions in donations but McCain is spending $84M in out tax dollars.

“Who is going to pay for this tax break and will Obama write a check to these 40% of folks that don’t pay taxes. I for one, do not wish to pay to the most of the 40% of folks that don’t work and probably in the last 40 years haven’t held a job. ”
That’s the new American way. You work hard to pay for college and make some money so that you can give it to someone that doesn’t have to.

—————————————-
Mack, you are right, that is why I voted for McCain. Yes, I have voted, and was not registered by ACORN. Am smart enough to do it myself the legal way.

“Do you know what Obama does with the money he claims to NEED?! The other day I checked my mail and over half the stack was political ads from the Democratic party defaiming the republican canidate”
At least Obama is spending his donors money.
McCain is spending taxpayer dollars doing the same thing.

“Hillary isnt sitting back she’s be out getting votes for Obama …”
Of course she is. An I be out heppin’ her.

“That’s the new American way. You work hard to pay for college and make some money so that you can give it to someone that doesn’t have to.”
Actually the new American way is you follow the path of going to college and studying hard and when you get out most of the quality jobs have been shipped overseas by Republicans, you can’t afford health care and forget about the dream of owning a home.
The American Dream has nearly been destroyed in less than a decade of Republican rule.

“Actually the new American way is you follow the path of going to college and studying hard and when you get out most of the quality jobs have been shipped overseas by Republicans, you can’t afford health care and forget about the dream of owning a home.”
And then you get a job working for the Obama campaign. :)

“Actually the new American way is you follow the path of going to college and studying hard and when you get out most of the quality jobs have been shipped overseas by Republicans, you can’t afford health care and forget about the dream of owning a home. ”
Aren’t we supposed to be a part of the world community? It wouldn’t be fair to keep all of the good jobs here. What would Europe think?

Senator Christopher Dodd’s amendment to the Jumpstart Our Business Strength (JOBS) Act which would require federal service contracts to be fulfilled using U.S. workers.
Making their way into the chamber for the first time in days, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and John Warner (R-Va.) took to the microphone. With great ardor, they ripped the amendment apart on grounds that it would cripple the nation’s defense. Noting that the amendment had been “debated ad nauseam,” McCain said: “Straight talk
I do not support the amendment offered by the Senator from Connecticut. If we do not allow the purchase of foreign-manufactured defense equipment, then sooner or later they will retaliate by not purchasing ours. This could have a significant effect.”
McCain pulled out a letter from Michael Wynne, acting undersecretary of Defense, which said the provision “would impact our ability to sustain our troops stationed overseas.”
Senator Dodd subsequently rewrote the amendment stating that it “shall not apply to any procurement for national security purposes entered into [by] the Department of Defense or any agency or entity thereof.” He hoped this would erase Republican concerns about the amendment adversely affecting our troops.
McCain still voted against it. A vote in support of outsourcing.

Hilarious about the Joe-mentum mentions vs Palin.
Especially since Lieberman’s approval rating went below 50% for the 1st time this summer.
Guess he really wanted his buddy Joe versus the piece of fluff that was designated to him.

The question I have(without sarcasm) is what purpose would that serve?

It would serve the exact same purpose taxing any business serves. Money for the general good of the nation.
It shouldn’t go into any special campaign fund or anything, just the general funds.

Wouldn’t it be great if Obama came out and said that all the funds raised from this event would go to start some significant U.S. educational foundation or other good works initiative instead of being spent on negative advertising? That would send a much better message. Every time I see how much money is being spent on this election, it makes me shake my head in disgust given the tenuous financial situation so many Americans find themselves in these days.

“Illinois has the highest taxes in the country? I guess Obama’s saying we won’t have to pay for all the people on public aid anymore. It’s ironic that my property taxes, sales taxes and gasoline taxes are so high in order to pay for all of this yet my daughter-with a 2 year old-who’s husband gets laid off alot between jobs cannot get any relief when she works 2 jobs.”
While sales tax in Chicago is the highest in the nation, Illinois ranks 30th in terms of tax burden.

RyanC: when was the last property tax bill you’ve gotten here? You seem to always know everything. Truck drivers PASS THROUGH Illinois for gas. I noticed you didn’t dare comment on the rest of the post. Did you see that the ethics bill got passed after they got the word from O?….Long after he’s been gone. Kinda wanted to hurry up and make THAT call since Tony’s been talking to the Feds. Only makes sense that his sentencing “just happened” to get delayed. Wouldn’t want anything messy to come out days before the election.

Ryan C–“Even more interesting, in 2000, Obama went to the Democratic National Convention in CA. When he got to the airport, his credit card was declined because he had been using it to fund his run for Congress. When he got to the convention, he couldn’t get credentials and get in.
A mere 6 years later, he and Michelle bought a house for $1,600,000. What changed? He got elected to the Illinois Senate, then the U.S. Senate, a job that pays $165,200.
It is interesting that in 2004 Michelle Obama as an employee of the University of Chicago hospital earned $121,910. In 2005 her salary rose substantially to $316,962.
What happened to merit such an increase? In 2005 Barack Obama became a US Senator from Illinois, and he promptly earmarked funds for the University of Chicago Hospital”.

mhh, it is expensive when you lie.
Covering lies costs lots of money.

the University of Chicago hospital earned $121,910. In 2005 her salary rose substantially to $316,962.
What happened to merit such an increase?”
It brought her salary in line with other VPs in the hospital and was a reward for her work reducing emergency room congestion.
‘In 2005 Barack Obama became a US Senator from Illinois, and he promptly earmarked funds for the University of Chicago Hospital”
The earmark was asked for in 2006.
The lesson as always, right wingers lie and do not care about lying.

Ryan C: I’ve despised the way Obama cult supporters have conducted themselves since they trashed Hillary Clinton. I’ve seen your posts before that read a little bit of knowledge is dangerous. I also despised how Obama Democrats trashed Sarah Palin’s family because she dared to speak out. The Obama Democrats are slowly but surely turning the party into a zero tolerance of anyone that disagrees with their chosen one. Well, he wasn’t my chosen one. What used to be a party for the little guy has turned into lets squash anybody we think gets in our way. I’m still outraged about the stinking Missouri Truth Squad. I don’t call that Democratic, I call it Communism. And Bill Ayers is right, the movement is moving.

I’m an Obama supporter, but I would not pay one cent to attend this event.

I wish I had $28,500 to spare. I would love to be a part of that scene for a couple of hours.
Oh well, I donated $275.00 and got a couple of t-shirts, an Obama water jug and a nice union made tote bag (that all my co workers are jealous of)……..

hanna,
Okay, you hate Oprah. But show me the similarities in Hillary’s and John McCain’s policies, judgement, and temperment that convince you John McCain is the right person to lead this country and take it in a new direction? If you can still support McCain then you were never a Democrat. A Clintonite maybe but not a Democrat. Even Hillary and Bill have moved on…

Hillary and Bill are publicly doing what they have to, but we all know they are voting McCain/Palin in the booth….she wants another go at it in 2012.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN BEFORE HE EVEN PICKED PALIN…..OBAMA UNACCEPTABLE.

former soviet:
Let McCain get elected and you might see the same thing happen here that you saw in Russia, read about the “New World Order”.
Not only that you maybe drafted to go fight a WWIII against your family.
Just my thoughts.

“HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN BEFORE HE EVEN PICKED PALIN”
Hanna the FoxNews defender, the caller for restriction of voting right, the tireless defenders of all things mcCain continues to claim she is a clinton supporter.
Does anyone believe her?

“Yes as a fellow right winger pretending to be a Hillary supporter I understand you have the same experience.”
Ryan -
Having a hard time believing it, huh? Like we care! :D
ROFLMAO!!!!
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.” – Susan B. Anthony

These results, based on Oct. 5-7 polling, are the best for Obama during the campaign, both in terms of his share of the vote and the size of his lead over McCain. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)
Nearly all interviews in today’s report were conducted before Tuesday night’s town hall style debate in Nashville. Any movement in voter preferences as a result of this debate will be apparent in coming days.
Voter preferences seem to have stabilized for the moment, as Obama has held a double-digit lead over McCain in each of the last three individual nights of polling.

Now that Oprah got her boy out in front, and kicked Hillary in the teeth, it’s O.K. to do something “just for women” at this fundraiser. She sucks…haven’t watched her since her endorsement.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN, EVEN BEFORE THE PALIN PICK.

Here’s Obama’s next unfair move in this election:
Missouri officials suspect fake voter registration
Wednesday, October 8, 2008 9:12 PM EDT
The Associated Press
By BILL DRAPER Associated Press Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials in Missouri, a hard-fought jewel in the presidential race, are sifting through possibly hundreds of questionable or duplicate voter-registration forms submitted by an advocacy group that has been accused of election fraud in other states.
Charlene Davis, co-director of the election board in Jackson County, where Kansas City is, said the fraudulent registration forms came from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. She said they were bogging down work Wednesday, the final day Missourians could register to vote.
“I don’t even know the entire scope of it because registrations are coming in so heavy,” Davis said. “We have identified about 100 duplicates, and probably 280 addresses that don’t exist, people who have driver’s license numbers that won’t verify or Social Security numbers that won’t verify. Some have no address at all.”
The nonpartisan group works to recruit low-income voters, who tend to lean Democratic. Polls show Republican presidential candidate John McCain with an edge in bellwether Missouri, but Democrat Barack Obama continues to put up a strong fight.
Jess Ordower, Midwest director of ACORN, said his group hasn’t done any registrations in Kansas City since late August. He said he was told three weeks ago by election officials that there were only about 135 questionable cards — 85 of them duplicates.
“They keep telling different people different things,” he said. “They gave us a list of 130, then told someone else it was 1,000.”
FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the agency has been in contact with elections officials about potential voter fraud and plans to investigate.
“It’s a matter we take very seriously,” Patton said. “It is against the law to register someone to vote who does not fall within the parameters to vote, or to put someone on there falsely.”
On Tuesday, authorities in Nevada seized records from ACORN after finding fraudulent registration forms that included the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.
In April, eight ACORN workers in St. Louis city and county pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting false registration cards for the 2006 election. U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said they submitted cards with false addresses and names, and forged signatures.
Ordower said Wednesday that ACORN registered about 53,500 people in Missouri this year. He believes his group is being targeted because some politicians don’t want that many low-income people having a voice.
“It’s par for the course,” he said. “When you’re doing more registrations than anyone else in the country, some don’t want low-income people being empowered to vote. There are pretty targeted attacks on us, but we’re proud to be out there doing the patriotic thing getting people registered to vote.”
Republicans are among ACORN’s loudest critics. At a campaign stop in Bethlehem, Pa., supporters of John McCain interrupted his remarks Wednesday by shouting, “No more ACORN.”
According to its national Web site, the group has registered 1.3 million people nationwide for the Nov. 4 election. It also has encountered complaints of fraud stemming from registration efforts in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Nevada and battleground states like Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina, where new voter registrations have favored Democrats nearly 4 to 1 since the beginning of this year.
Missouri offers 11 electoral votes; the presidential candidates need at least 270 to win the election.

“Ryan C…..Kerry was ahead by 11 points at this time against Bush….polls right now are nada.”
Kerry was never ahead 11 pts at any point in the race.
At this time in 2004, Kerry was losing to Bush by a few points nationally and was losing or tied in many battleground states.
Again Hanna lies.

An Oprah spokesperson tells CNN the show’s ratings have been climbing all year and issues of O, the host’s magazine, continue to fly off newsstand shelves.

—————————————-
Sure they would say that. Have seen in the past lots of o mags in waiting rooms, but have not seen them lately, so maybe the sales are off. Hope so. Her ratings have dropped since she first had obama on her show.
A recommendation from this racist woman would not made me vote for obama or anyone else she supports, nor would I read a book she recommends. She is no better than any other woman, she puts her pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us.

Say what you will about Oprah….if given the chance, 90% of you would trade your lifestyle in a nanosecond for Oprah’s!!! Eleanor Roosevelt said: “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.”….quit being small minded republicans!!!

“Her ratings have dropped since she first had obama on her show.”
She first had him on the show in 2005 and again in 2006.
She has not had him on the show since endorsing him.
Yet again, right wingers lie.
Posted by: Ryan C | Oct 9, 2008 5:06:22 PM
—————————————–Like I said Ryan, her ratings have dropped since she had obama on her show, no matter what year it was, you can spin and spin, but it won’t change a thing. Her ratings have DROPPED!!! God, don’t know what would happen to this world if right wingers didn’t lie..the left wingers wouldn’t have anything to complain about or anyone to blame.

I’m so comforted that the National Women’s Leadership Initiative is being held to support the male/male ticket.
Quoting Madonna “Sara Palin’s not invited to the show.” (rythmic clapping optional)
I guess, any man with far left views is the “new” woman. Where was the support for centrist Hillary?
