Palin to Release Medical Information Early This Week
ABC News’ Kate Snow Reports: Governor Sarah Palin’s campaign plans to release information regarding her medical history early this week, according to campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt.
Schmitt told ABC News by email on Sunday that she was not sure what day the records would be released but it would be "early this week".
"We are working on this and it will happen sooner than later," Schmitt said.
Last week, Governor Palin said she would be "fine" with releasing medical information.
She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.
Palin did suggest that releasing her records could be fodder for political attacks of some kind.
"So be it, if that will allow some curiousity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over. Fine. I’m healthy, I’m happy, had five kids. That is going to be in the medical records. Never been seriously ill or hurt. You will see that in the medical records if they’re released," Palin told NBC’s Brian Williams.

WOW!!! EVEN THE ALASKA BIGGEST NEWS PAPAER ENDORSED OBAMA!!!!! BYE-BYE-PALIN !!!!
Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads.
Alaska’s founders were optimistic people, but even the most farsighted might have been stretched to imagine this scenario. No matter the outcome in November, this election will mark a signal moment in the history of the 49th state. Many Alaskans are proud to see their governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage.
Gov. Palin’s nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.
Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.
Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Sen. McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis — erratic is a kind description — shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery.
Sen. Obama warned regulators and the nation 19 months ago that the subprime lending crisis was a disaster in the making. Sen. McCain backed tighter rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but didn’t do much to advance that legislation. Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown’s root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it. It is easy to look at Sen. Obama and see a return to the smart, bipartisan economic policies of the last Democratic administration in Washington, which left the country with the momentum of growth and a budget surplus that President George Bush has squandered.
On the most important issue of the day, Sen. Obama is a clear choice.
Sen. McCain describes himself as a maverick, by which he seems to mean that he spent 25 years trying unsuccessfully to persuade his own party to follow his bipartisan, centrist lead. Sadly, maverick John McCain didn’t show up for the campaign. Instead we have candidate McCain, who embraces the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years.
It is Sen. Obama who truly promises fundamental change in Washington. You need look no further than the guilt-by-association lies and sound-bite distortions of the degenerating McCain campaign to see how readily he embraces the divisive, fear-mongering tactics of Karl Rove. And while Sen. McCain points to the fragile success of the troop surge in stabilizing conditions in Iraq, it is also plain that he was fundamentally wrong about the more crucial early decisions. Contrary to his assurances, we were not greeted as liberators; it was not a short, easy war; and Americans — not Iraqi oil — have had to pay for it. It was Sen. Obama who more clearly saw the danger ahead.
The unqualified endorsement of Sen. Obama by a seasoned, respected soldier and diplomat like Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican icon, should reassure all Americans that the Democratic candidate will pass muster as commander in chief.
On a matter of parochial interest, Sen. Obama opposes the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but so does Sen. McCain. We think both are wrong, and hope a President Obama can be convinced to support environmentally responsible development of that resource.
Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she’s a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.
Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

OK, so can we now get more than a one page summary on Obama’s health records?
I guess you folks call yourselves “journalists”, but have actually become pawns for the Obama campaign.
Posted by: BlameAmericaLast | October 26, 2008, 11:38 am 11:38 am
Where are Obama’s medical records? Obama only issue a one-page summary from his doctor saying he was OK. Everyone else, as well as Governor Palin will do shortly, have submitted every single page of their records. How come McCain’s camp haven’t called Obama on this. The pro-Obama media ignores the fact that Obama refuses to release his medical records. What’s Obama hiding from the American people? I consider this to be another major concern about Obama.
Posted by: Doreen | October 26, 2008, 11:47 am 11:47 am
Mike: You’re comment is very misguided and it shows you have absolutely no clue of the corrupt man you are supporting. Obama is all about corruption and fraud and not hope and change.
Brian Ross: Please do your job and investigate the credit card fraud going on in the Obama campaign website. Heard Osama Bin Laden was even able to get his credit card through so it’s confirmed that he’s an Obama supporter. Is there money laundering going on? Why can’t Obama be as transparent as McCain and even Clinton and release his donors under $200? Page A1 of the Washington Post. Brian: You’ve been scooped!!

“Actions speak louder than words.”
This famous saying is quite true. Palin’s *said* she is okay with her medical records being released, but her *actions* speak differently since those records have not be released for nearly a week after she said it was okay.
In the end, she’s just all talk and no action. I doubtful her med records will be release at all, and if they were, it would be perhaps after the election and only if her side won. Until then, it would be too late.
So it’s clear she has something to hide. If she was in good health, her records should have been released within two days after she said it was okay. Why did not do this?
Posted by: GWP | October 26, 2008, 11:49 am 11:49 am
I think Sarah should state that she will release her medical records 5 minutes after Obama releases his.
Obama has only released a one page report from his doctor.
ABC News: Do your job and go after Obama’s complete medical records. And while you’re at it find out what the heck he’s hiding from the American public.

L.A. Times sits on video of Obama toasting radical Jew-basher:
Introduction: The LA Times is holding a video that shows Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gives a toast to a former PLO operative at this celebration. If the American public saw this side of Barack Obama he would never be elected president.
But, the media refuses to release this video.
Why? Because they need to protect “the one”.

My wife and I are both in the military. She is serving her 26th year and Im on my 29th. One year to go for me. We have always voted fot the Republican ticket in the past even though we are Independent. After keeping up with this campaine and researching everything we could, we will be supporting Obama. McCain served his country with honor, but that in itself doesnt mean he will be a good President. What really sent us over the edge was the pick of Palin. The thought that she could be our Commander in Chief one day is scarey. Both Kennedy and Reagan were great at deplomacy and the Berlin Wall came down and we prevented a war with the Soviets during the Cuban missle crisis due to having brains in the White House that believed in deplomacy first.At one point Kennedy’s four Generals and Chief of Staff were pressuring Kennedy to attack. Kennedy didnt fall to the pressure and used is brains and deplomacy to possibly stop a war and it worked. Does anyone acually believe, if McCain and Palin had been in office that they would have gone against their Generals and used deplomacy. I think not. If something were to happen to McCain, Palin would be in charge of the most powerful military in the world. I know about the Alaska National Guard but I also know she as never given them one single command. My Wife and I are sure in our beliefs that if McCain and Palin are elected, at the least, we would just continue with Bush policies or even worse. Obama believes not only in deplomacy first, before conflict, and has the brains to make it work. He will keep our military strong and country safe and will help fix the the worlds view of us. Remember the days when the international community respected and looked up to us. Please support the troops and God Bless America.

Palin had over 80 percent approval rating, in Alaska.
She comes from a state pretty much like Pres CLinton did.
Most people do not like her becasue she is a woman.
She has more executive level experience than Obama and Biden as a Governor.
Senators do not nor will they ever have executive level experience.

Idiotic comments like that are stupid talking points from the Democrats.
She has much more experience than the guy at the top of the ticket who has basically made a life in politics by associating with the scum of the earth Chicago politicians and questionable “friends and colleagues”.
Sorry, but anyone who has even entered the home of a domestic terrorist (and written comments about his book) is off limits for me.

I have something to tell you do you know what is the meaning of Obama’s Logo? The inverted circle is crescent moon which is significant symbol of Muslim, socialism and communism. The three lines below the moon are the three significant weapons of their Muslims ancient warriors. Now tell me why Obama uses that Logo?

I can see both of women were qualified and enough experienced for Presidency or Vic Presidency than Obama. Only Obama qualification is he can talk louder than McCain but nothing special in his speeches. The media should be neutral, fair and honest about reporting on candidates. They were attacked Hillary Clinton from start to end. Now these peoples are attacking Sara Palin for nothing. Why they do not criticize Obama foreign policy? Obama’s foreign policy is naïve and poor judgment than Palin. Are they afraid of someone calling them racist? I’m color person myself but I want to see fair go for everyone.

Off with their heads. We’ve had enough of the rich republican regime. Sure, the rich pay most of the taxes in this country – but shouldn’t they?

Various forms of socialism are working pretty well for many citizens living around the world. US citizens never signed up for the current, broken, system, it was imposed on them. It is time for a revision. At minimum, citizens should demand affordable health care and a decent retirement system of their governments. If that requires higher taxes to those who make a fortune already, that’s the way it should be. If those folks don’t like it, they have the means to move elsewhere. Somebody else with a better attitude will take their place.

So now they have banks, and area going after insurance, and automobile companies.
Also going after Americans 401K accounts, and want to bring back the fairness doctrine

Update America:
Obama supporters fear Governor Sarah Palin more than fearing John McCain. Everyone can analyze the Obama supporters fear by the day after day defamatory remarks. Obama supporters know Governor Sarah Palin can bring down Obama.
Obama supporters do not want to show you the real Obama because he shows a person that is not acceptable to be President of the United States. Yet, Obama supporters will dwell on every detail about Governor Sarah Palin. Obama supporters’ great fear shows by the disgraceful language and the off color remarks that are on every post on every blog. The truth always hurts and Obama hurts every time someone tells the whole truth about him.
Governor Linda of Hawaii says the nation wouldn’t be safe under Obama (says Obama “touts” he is from Hawaii)
Lingle, though, repeatedly framed the presidential election in terms of the physical safety of Americans and painted Obama as a mysterious figure who is uncomfortable with leadership.
She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately, the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”
That says it all and there is no need to post any returns because whatever Obama supporters have to say is not worth one penny to read.

Obama supporters fail to tell everyone about this Obama $500,000,000 failure that did not give the deserving voters in the 13th district good safe housing.
Where did all the money go? I guess all the money went to the contactors and nothing went into corrupt pockets.

CW, John:
I’m actually glad you’re slinging around the “socialist” smear: that shows that out of the mouths of the ignorant the word has no force. If you compare the GOP platform with the goals of the Communist Manifesto, you might think that Johnny (aka Amnesty John, aka Keating Five John) is a pinko. Has he disavowed the spread-the-wealth principles of the graduated income tax? If you had intellectual honesty instead of O’Reilly’s & Limbaugh’s tribalist hatred you’d have voted for Ron Paul.

The S7L bailout of the early 90′s and the recent $700 billion dollar corporate bailout proves beyond any doubt that America is a socialist empire. So stop waving the flag as if Obama were offering the downfall of democracy through socialism. Taxation and the redistribution of taxes is not socialism. It is how a democracy is funded. Some of the posts here, inspired by the likes of Fox News sound about as childish and uninformed as the nation of children we have become.

Exactly Lauren, who cares about Palin medical info? America is about to inflict upon itself the same fate as Russians did in 1917, Germans in 1933, Venezuelans in 1999, etc. Only in our case it is blended with shady Muslim background. And when you will no longer be able to post your critical notes ANYWHERE – because they shut critical media completely – then your interest will certainly be somewhere else but Palin medical records.

Occidental, Columbia, Harvard?
2. Full Medical records?
If Obama has NOTHING to hide, please expedite these info. to the public.
Posted by: Voter In America | October 26, 2008, 12:40 pm 12:40 pm
People – Obama’s records are out there. Just do a little more research than parroting either left or right leaning news organizations. Although I will say the right-leaners seem to be made of people who – just listen to what I say not what I do.
People are making a big deal of Ayers – but what about McCain and his pal-ing around with Keating? Here is a known felon who fleeced the US people out of 2 billion dollars. There are many others that McCain should be questioned about but the REAL truth is – ‘It’s the ECONOMY STUPID!’.
If we were dealing with the McCain of the 2000 campaign – we would not be having any discussions. Back then he was thoughtful and really seemed to care about his message. Now he just looks eratic and angry – angry that he can’t get what he thinks he truly deserves – the Whitehouse.
John – if only Powerblog was a REAL news outlet – it is just a blog by the Claremont Institute a NEO-CON think tank. Haven’t we had enough of them?

Posted by: drew | October 26, 2008, 12:43 pm 12:43 pm
The Anchorage Daily News (Largest newspaper in Alaska, by far) has endorsed Obama for President. One of the biggest reasons? Palin is not ready!
“…Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she’s a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.
Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.”

**EVEN THE ALASKA BIGGEST NEWS PAPAER ENDORSED OBAMA!!!!! BYE-BYE-PALIN !!!!**
Wow!! That is big news Ann and Mike. Thanks for letting us know. That tells you something about Palin. And then makes you question once again why McCain picked her. My full belief is that he picked her because he really believed that all of the Hillary supporters would simply vote for her JUST BECAUSE she’s a woman. He really does insult our intelligence. And I think a small portion of that is because she has sex appeal. I think he really thought if he brought in the sexy cheerleader type that more “Joe the six-packs” would just vote for her. Well I know a lot of them are just because she’s attractive. But I hope there’s many more “Joe the six-packs” that are more intelligent than that too. But either way, her extreme religious views and condescending manner are not what this country needs right now. So glad to see some endorsements are going the right way. Go Obama!!

All we’ve seen is a “copy” of his birth certificate, well actually two different copies on his own website. When I questioned a Obama follower about his college transcripts, I was told that all I needed to know was that he graduated Magna Cum-Laude. No, I want to see his records. He’s hiding something…

McCain camp has been upset lately that Palin is not following the program they set up for her. When she gets out and talk, she is pushing her own agenda, according to a recent letter that aired from a member of the McCain camp who had some harsh words about Palin.
No Obama people do not fear Palin, it is the McCain camp that is fearing Obama. It is the McCain camp that is showing signs of jumping ship.
No one is jumping ship in the Obama camp.

Voter In America:
Obama was the head of the Harvard Law review. A much coveted and very prestigious position. His competition for that position has given interviews on TV and Radio more than once atteating to his credits and worthiness for this position and provided the details on the college he attended. This was on stations like NPR… other than the likes of Fox News. DSo you likely missed it. This honor does not go to people who do not are attending local community colleges. If Obama was not qualified , it would have been news long before this point in the campaign.
Secondly, his health isn’t in question. Much like McCain’s is. He’s 72 years old has had multiple bouts with skin cancer and heart problems. And he has selected a vapid beauty queen to step in for him in leading the nation should his next health issue prove fatal. Where are his complete medical records? And how has he protected America in the event he can’t carry out his term?
Posted by: foxisms | October 26, 2008, 12:58 pm 12:58 pm
How about ABC investigating the 7 court cases including one in front of the supreme court asking for a real birth certificate. How was OBAMA schooled in Indonesia when only Indonesian citizens were admitted. Traveled through Pakistan when no US citizens allowed.
Is he a naturalised citizen and therefore not eligible to run for president?
How about real journalism.

I am from Texas a very conservative republican state. I am a working mother and wife. I am a strong Christian. I am standing up to say that a woman who perpetuates hatred towards any American standing up and dedicating himself and his family to govern America DOES NOT represent or inspire me. For Sarah Palin to not address those at her rallies shouting foul and hate based comments is NOT STANDING AS A CHRISTIAN. To disagree on issues and to debate your views does not seem to be something she can do effectively. She laughs at and nods her head when some of the few people at her rallies spew their foulness. What does this say about her. That she doen not say NO. Lets talk issues not hate. She is just the most recent tool of terrorism. She fuels fear and hatred the very same thing the terrorists around the world do. In America it is ok to disagree but we as a people must live the way of Jesus Christ and never perpetuate violence and terror. She is NOT a role model for me or my daughters.

I (and million American voters) want to know WHY Obama insists on keeping his records sealed from PUBLIC.
If he has NOTHING to hide, he will be GLAD to brag about it and show people of his fruits of his labor, won’t you agree?
The QUESTION is WHY records are sealed?
If he is such a “touted” person as you thought, why won’t he show us his ACCOMPLISHMENTS?

Now Sarah Palin in the mean time is married to Todd Palin. Recently while married to Sarah, Todd was a member of the Alaskan Independent group that wanted to be independent of the USA. They wanted to Break away from the USA.
Todd’s group did and do refuse to ‘Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America’.
Todd quit the group when Sarah first ran for Mayor, or did he wait until she ran for governor to change his registrations as a Republican. Either way, Todd changed to further his wife’s career.

Update America:
President Ronald Reagan quotes that make Obama a ZERO:
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.”
Reading the endorsements of Obama in the liberal media should strengthen the determination of all believers in American self-government and greatness to fight this election campaign to the end. Time magazine’s Joe Klein tells us that Obama “seems a grown-up, in a nation that badly needs some adult supervision.” To the contrary, we are a nation
of adults. We don’t need the “supervision” of a conventionally liberal and totally untested junior senator whose most impressive lifetime achievement has been the construction of an effective narrative about himself.
But wait. Obama does have one great achievement. He’s run a good campaign. The New York Times tells us, “After nearly two years of a grueling and ugly campaign, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois has proved that he is the right choice to be the 44th president of the United States.” And how has he proved this? “Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change.”
The “challenges” Obama has met have been political and electoral. He’s met them well, and we’d be the first to pay tribute to his disciplined and effective campaign. Still, is this “proof” of a capacity to be president? Obama has run the most impressive campaign by a non-incumbent since George W. Bush in 2000, and by a non-incumbent Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Do the Obama acolytes want to hold up the Bush or Carter administrations as models for the proposition that a good campaign translates into a good presidency?
We also hear a lot of squeaking from rats deserting the McCain ship about Barack Obama’s exemplary temperament. So what? If he’d had his way, Obama would have lost the war in Iraq–with equanimity. He would have been calm, cool, and collected as U.S. interests were sacrificed and U.S. honor besmirched. Neville Chamberlain also had a fine temperament and a good intellect. Joe Biden, by the way, has neither. But he did–much as he now wishes people to forget it–support the Iraq war. These days, he can barely be bothered even to mention Iraq. Oh well, start a war, lose a war. Gotta move on.

Admit it – for the vast majority of you, “socialist” is a label you’ve grabbed onto to replace the racial epithet you REALLY want to use.

Well, when will Obama provide the honest answers to the following questions:
1. Birth Certificate
2. School records, thesis, college friends
3. Who pay for the Harvard?
4. Why Bill Ayers supports him and launched Obama’s campaign from his home yet Obama said he is just a guy in my “neigborhood”
5. What about rev. Wright (anti-America) sermons.
6. What about Frank Marshall Davis as his mentor.
and on and the list goes on…

If he had proven, the law suit against him would have been dropped. His maneuver was typical guilty -delay behavior. This is news that the liberal media does not want to publish, let’s agree on that.

Update America:
Facts that Obama and his supporters keep telling.
Obama has created misdirection by claiming it is rich Americans that cause our financial crisis. In reality, the Democrats are the direct cause of the financial crisis and the economic meltdown. Without the rich Americans, there would have never been a Middle Class, there would only be rich and poor.
Now, Obama makes promises that anyone can look through like a pane of clear glass. Obama does not have the power or funds to complete any of his programs and he knows that. What cause the 10 trillion dollar worldwide financial crisis is well documented.
There is footage of Sen. Schumer and Rep. Frank rambling against regulation on Fannie and Freddie? Truth hurts. You know why the Democrats were for the unabated operation of Fannie and Freddie. It allowed for more funding for banks to issue loans to ‘victims’ that did not have the ability to make their mortgage payments, in the event of an unexpected setback (like rising food prices). The other thing that it allowed was to allow the banks that made those loans to sell them and it allowed Fannie and Freddie to package them with other loans and sell them around and around. It worked fine until people stopped paying the mortgages. The Democrats were the main obstacles to reigning in the GSEs. This is fact not reported by Ms. Couric, and Mr. Gibson or the left wing think tanks.
Democrats fervently opposed reigning in Fannie and Freddie because they believed that they effectively created homeownership for those that would not have had access to the same without their existence.
Obama’s role was to take no action even when it was brought to his attention by the Bush administration. Acorn was protesting in local banks, bullying them, under auspices of the CRA to make home loans to ‘victims’ that could not afford the terms of the loans they wanted the bank to make. The banks were threatened with a LAWSUIT, if the did not make a loan. It is not the shame of the banks; it is the shame of Obama and the Democrats.
Now Democrats are implying that because Bush and McCain received campaign contributions that they are also responsible.
Democrats are completely responsible for the financial crisis that is totaling $10,000,000,000,000 and counting. Moreover, Obama received more campaign contributions from Freddie and Fannie then both Bush and McCain.
The Jimmy Carter and Clinton administrations are the DIRECT CAUSE and NOTHING ELSE that forced the banks under threat of a LAWSUIT to make loans to persons without sufficient funds to repay. That is how the LAW reads.
In addition: The Democrats had control of the congress for two years and it is business as usual. NO CHANGE from Obama or Democrats. That is 8 years – 2 years equals 6 years. The Democrats do not know simple math. There is no way the Democrats can run the United States.

Where are Palin’s medical Records? It has been how long since she claimed that was alright to release them. But where are they? I am not surprise that Governor Palin says one thing but does another. Why are you?
Palin and her claim that Congress wanted to Give her the money for that Bridge to no where, was already proven to be a lie. Congress told her first that she could not use that money for the Bridge to no where, and that there were roads and bridges that needed repair.
But Sarah used the money to build that Road to no where which no one uses because that Road goes no where. The road to no where aired on TV. But who pays attention to the real news instead of dumb sound bites like Fox cable news.

“Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.”
HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT? THERE IS ZERO PROOF OBAMA HAS THE CREDENTIALS TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE HE HAS ZERO EXPERIENCE AS A LEADER. YOU ARE ELECTING AN UNKONWN WHO HAS BEEN PROPPED UP BY THE MEDIA. THIS COUNTRY WILL SURVIVE BUT ONLY TO COME BACK TO THEIR SENSES AFTER A FOUR YEAR HIATUS FROM GOING FORWARD.

Update America:
Former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a Republican backing John McCain, and Harvard Law Professor Laurence H. Tribe, a Democrat and advisor to Barack Obama, disagree with Professor Chin’s narrow interpretation of the naturalization law and its intent. In a paper issued in March they found that John McCain is “natural born” under the Constitution.
“Based on the original meaning of the Constitution, the Framers’ intentions, and subsequent legal and historical precedent, Senator McCain’s birth to parents who were U.S. citizens, serving on a U.S. military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936, makes him a ‘natural born citizen’ within the meaning of the Constitution.”
The question is, is Obama? A birth certificate issued in 2007 does not make a US citizen.
The senate, the congress, homeland security or any court has disputed John McCain’s citizenship and there is NO COURT ACTION suggesting that John McCain is NOT a US natural born citizen. The same can NOT to be said about Obama.
There are now eight states entering allegations about the citizenship of Barack Obama. Rule 11 states: sanction attorneys or parties who submit pleadings for an improper purpose or that contain frivolous arguments or arguments that have no evidentiary support
No one has seen any federal sanctions handed down under Rule 11. It means that all lawsuits are in progress and without sanction.

Brian Ross: Please do your job and investigate the credit card fraud going on in the Obama campaign website. Heard Osama Bin Laden was even able to get his credit card through so it’s confirmed that he’s an Obama supporter. Is there money laundering going on? Why can’t Obama be as transparent as McCain and even Clinton and release his donors under $200? Page A1 of the Washington Post. Brian: You’ve been scooped!!

You want to know who Obama’s contributors are? Me, that’s who. At least a dozen times at $25 or $50 each time. Me, my friends, my parents, my sister, my brother, my ex-husband, my neighbors, actually pretty much everyone I know. We’re all contributors to Obama’s campaign. Not only that, but many of us have also volunteered time to his campaign in NC, which is why he’s going to turn this state blue for this 1st time in decades. So take your fake rage out on the person who really deserves it….your candidate, John McCain. If he’d stayed the man we all respected and run the kind of campaign he told he’d run, and if he’d picked someone credible to run with him, he’d probably still be in this thing. He’s got nobody to blame but himself.

Warning: this is long.
What happened to journalists? What happened to reporting the truth and investigating to find the truth no matter the journalist’s personal feelings? Isn’t that what journalistic integrity is? Or is that really an oxymoron? When did the news media become part of the entertainment field?
Then again, why have we as voters become so accepting of the news media’s biases as our basis for choosing a president and vice president, or any other elected official. These positions are the most important two positions in this Country and they will, in essence, hold the lives of millions of people in their hands. Why should we trust the media’s assessment just because they say something? The following should be the first things we look at: does the person meet the Constitutional qualifications? assessment of character, prior work experience, judgment, schooling, including grades and papers written, proof of residency, medical records, past associations, voting records (if elected officials), full details of platforms on which they are running (not just fast talk and little substance). If one is going to run for President, then that person had better be willing to be VERY forthcoming with all of these aspects of their life. If any candidate has trouble providing proof, and I mean certifiable proof, in any of these areas, it should be a red flag to the news media and an investigation should be done to find out the truth, even if it concerns a favored candidate. THEN REPORT THE TRUTH AS SOON AS IT IS KNOWN.
Attempting to put pressure on a TV station like the one in the story, is reminiscent of the mob tactics in the 30′s. Old Chicago style…Do it our way or else…SAD, SAD, SAD!
Children are the only thing in a candidate’s life that should be off limits. It’s unfortunate that the media chose to use the Palin’s children as subjects of their smear tactics. How low and slimy can you get?
One other thought..Is the Fairness Doctrine going to be used by Democrats/Socialists/Marxists to control the news…sounds a lot like the communist countries, or dictatorships. Do they really think we the people are not capable of making correct decisions? There will no longer be “freedom of the press” because the news media was not vigilant in it’s pursuit of complete truth no matter what that truth happened to be or who was affected.

How many of you have been to Chicago? I’ve lived here for 12 years. Tony Rezko is the most disturbing of all Obama’s political contacts for me. Rezko is a slumlord – no other word for what he did. Take millions in loans to build, then do either no work or use poor quality materials, don’t pay the heating bill, and let the buildings go into foreclosure while you pocket 6.9 million – that’s a slumlord. He helped finance Obama’s first five campaigns. And while these poor people were freezing during Chicago winters, Obama took his campaign money. Obama knew Rezko while he was in law school, so spare me please with the “I barely knew the guy” comments. Obama has never been poor, currently lives in a million dollar mansion, and he does not care about the poor. He cares about getting their votes, and apparently through ACORN he’s willing to take their votes as many times as he can get away with.

Larger crowds are from republicna party.We Independent will decide this election.We rule her out that she is a drag and a burden for Mcain in this election and you know what he himself has to blame for listening to the advise of radio talk hosts.Mcain has always been a popular figure among the independents and it is very clearly evident in the primaries independents rallied behind Mcain in big margins and helped him win the primary when the core conservatives are trying to get Romney and Huckabee elected over him.But ever since he won the primary he betrayed our faith and leaned towards core conservatives for political reasons. That is understandable because it is needed in order to raise money for the campaign.But the selection of Palin over other experienced women candidates is something Independents wants to forgive.We will decide this election.

In the other hand Obama MAY change direction and that is my only hope. Rich always become richer no matter who wins. Poor remain poor – they do not care. Middle class has suffered in last eight years of republican administration. Let’s vote for a change. That is my only hope. Hopefully my 401k will again see light at the end of tunnel if democrats win White House, Senate as well as House of Reps. By the way I have always voted Republican all my life.

This is politics at its worst, and american citizens have a change to end it forever 9 days from now. A crucial moment in my opinion that nobody should miss.

I have no problem with a candidate releasing only a physician’s summary of his or her health, provided that the candidate is under a certain age and has no known serious health issues.
So although I despise Sarah Palin, I would have no problem with her doing what Obama did. Both candidates are young and have no known history of serious illness.
However, both Biden and McCain are older and have had serious health problems, so releasing their full health records in their cases is appropriate.

The operative word is “had” an approval rating of 80%. I think it’s now about 45% and her own state has been headed towards Obama/Biden. If Alaska had more than 3 electoral votes, I think Obama could win it.
The reason people don’t like Palin is because she is the kind of woman she is, not that she is a women. That is why abuout 90% of Hillary voters do not support Palin.

Posted by: Adam | October 26, 2008, 2:24 pm 2:24 pm
It was on Wednesday, Oct 22nd that Palin said that she would release her medical records. It is hard to understand why it is taking so long. If it was a positive thing that showed her healthy, happy and having had five children, we should expect that one of her staff members could have gotten all the medical records together in a day and released them by Thursday night.
Please remember that Palin paid a Hollywood make-up artist $22,800 for two weeks work in October. I am sure that there are dozens of bright young lawyers on her staff who are being paid $500 or $1,000 a day who are quite capable of gathering medical records in a few hours.
Since it was to her great advantage to get the medical records out as soon as possible before the election, one may conclude that the reason for the delay is that they do not show that she is happy, healthy and had five children. Her staff is apparently having trouble deciding which medical records to release that will give the impression of her being happy, healthy and have had five children.
Her doctor and the doctor that delivered Trig, Cathy Baldwin-Johnson seems an honest and dedicated family practitioner. If the medical records include all of her records, we may conclude that they are accurate. If they do not, we may conclude that they are inaccurate.

I just saw McCain giving one of his speeches on TV. While McCain is hammering away at Obama and is shouting what he thinks Obama’s plan will mean, there is a young lady, girl, standing behind McCain.
She’s so eloquent in her Sarah Palin Hairdo, nodding her head with that Mona Lisa smile of Palin’s. The girl can’t be any older than 18 or 19 and she has that nodding her head to an art.
Just how much did the McCain camp pay to have her made up to look like Sarah. I mean that ugly hairdo cannot be the latest thing, could it?

I don’t really care about their medical records. A note from a doctor saying they are in good health and not dying of some illness. I care about what they have voted on in past and what they are planning to do in the future. I like both McCain and Obama. However, I am voting for Obama. There are a number of reasons for it. One of the simple reason is I watched several of Palin’s rallies and I was not impressed. She seems fake and did not offer an attempt to get her supports to keep the racisim at home.
Posted by: Storm | October 26, 2008, 2:45 pm 2:45 pm
I’m sure her records will be posted as soon as they’ve had time to editorialize them. We wouldn’t want any nasty rumors to come out about her only being pregnant 4 times would we? Why would they want to cover that up… I don’t know.

Every black country on earth is a total wasteland. But they want do gripe about how white man destroys their opportunity. Black people need to get some morals and make something of themselves; God knows that our society already tries to serve things to them on a silver platter with our affirmative action and racial sensitivities.

Pretty disgusting the way the media thinks they can boss Palin around about giving her medical records, and do a daily countdown: day 1, day 2, etc.
In the meantime, Obama only gave a one-page summary (not medical records) and still hasn’t provided a valid birth certificate to prove he’s even eligible to be president of the US.
The American people aren’t buying these bs though. A new Pew Research Poll found that 70%!!!! of Americans think that the media is trying to elect BO. Only 9% think they are trying to elect JM.

Lots of women (myself included) are offended by his choice of Palin for this unsubstantial reason.

Would somebody at ABCnews.com please explain this. Would it be okay if Palin released a letter from her doctor saying that she is healthy – just like the Chosen One did? If the Chosen One does not release some actual medical records, should we assume that he has something to hide? Should a VP candidate be required to release more records than a presidential candidate? Why hasn’t the media pressed the Chosen One for more medical records?
All Glory and Honor to the Chosen One forever and ever, amen.

Obama will succeed in securing the office of President of the US. He is obviously the best person for the job.
Silly rumors always fly around prior to any election. Repeating them doesn’t make them true.
Sarah Palin should dedicate more of her time to her five children. Obviously, there are problems in her household. She claims to be a “soccer mom” or “hockey mom” FIRST, and that’s the way it should be. Leave running the government to those who know how, Sarah, and clean up your own back yard.

It is unbelievable how women more than men criticize Sarah Palin. This is a great chance for women to break the glass ceiling and they are just throwing it away. Why ? Because she is pretty ? Governor ? Mother of five ? pro life ? or because she does not wear pants suit ? I think the root of it is because they are jelous.
Here is a woman that has weather the jokes , insults and lack of respect from the media and Hollywood.
Joe Biden could not even handle a questioning from a Florida TV station !!
what a joke !!
Barack Obama has a lot of questions to answer, drug addict, black liberation ties , associated with crooks and many other things that bring a lot of doubt as a true candidate. Like sheeps to the slaughter house everyone is going. Change ?? Every 4 years polititians use the same retoric, is the middle class better of ? nahh. Now, with the “spread the wealth” I can see myself paying more taxes to provide for those who continue to live under the welfare system , poisoning themselves with drugs and alcohol, killing themselves on the streets and giving nothing to this country. Yeah, I can’t wait to see the “change” that is coming if this fake becomes President.
Wake up America and look out because we were heading to sure doom. Those who support this fake for president will lament the day they voted for him sooner than later. I’m not a republican , I’m independent and surely will not vote for a fake like this. Go and investigate this guy’s roots and life path and you will see what Bill Clinton said before Obama became a nominee ” this guy is a fake !!

I so am tired of subject of Palin. I guess Unlike some subjects where there is a possibility that either side could be right–this one is much more boring then that. The twenty percent of the population that support her will not EVER be swayed by anything said here. This debate reminds me of a discussion between an adult and a child over some equally childish issue. No matter how logical or correct, the child still wants her way. So,,, I guess it’s up to the adult to gracefully end the discussion, and walk away. Hopefully, after November 4th, we shall hear her name no more.

TO ALL WHO DO NOT KNOW, Sarah Palin’s youngest, a baby boy, has Down’s Syndrome. A common cause of this condition is a mother who gives birth after the age of 35. According to what I’ve seen on ABC, her baby was born in April. She’s 44 now, so that should have made her around 43 when she began her pregnancy. In my opinion, nobody who has any common sense would risk Down’s Syndrome in order to have another baby. She did it and now her poor baby will be dependent upon others the rest of his life. Common sense? NOT!!! And she wants to run this country? Good Lord!!!

Okay lets be truthful here. All that was released about Obama was a one page statement from a Dr saying he is in good health. If Sarah Palin as a woman candidate has to release all her medical records so should Obama. I’m sure the reason behind the whining about her needing to release all her records is so the media can dig for some more dirt about Gov Palin.I don’t think they would have so readily accepted a one page statement from her Dr saying”she is in good health”.

Is Palin a seccessionist because her husband is a card carrying member of the AIP? She sent a congratulatory message at their convention. Now she wants to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?
Todd used her office to pursue a personal agenda. What will they do if she is president?
She talks about family values yet she eloped when she was pregnant and now her teenage daughter is pregnant. Where was the motherly advice?
She talks about joe six pack. Is that what she thinks of Americans? Beer guzzling drunks who drink six beers daily or is she describing Todd?

I can’t stand Sarah Palin and believe her selection as McCain’s running mate will be the single biggest factor in the GOP losing the election.
However, I really don’t think there’s anything too awful in her medical records. If there were, why wouldn’t she simply refuse to release them? Or get a doctor to release a statement saying she’s in good health? It hasn’t been a big issue.
I will be very surprised if there’s anything dramatic.

Alaska’s largest newspaper endorses Obama
1 hour ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest newspaper, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.
The newspaper said Sunday the Democrat “brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand.”
The Daily News said since the economic crisis has emerged, Republican presidential candidate John McCain has “stumbled and fumbled badly” in dealing with it.
“Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown’s root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it,” the paper said.
The Daily News said Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has shown the country why she is a success as governor. But the paper said few would argue that Palin is truly ready to step into the job of being president despite her passion, charisma and strong work ethic.
“Gov. Palin’s nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and down, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation,” the paper said.
“Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time,” the paper concluded.
Posted by: Chuck | October 26, 2008, 4:48 pm 4:48 pm
Maybe someday America will have some actual journalist and they will ask Obama for his medical records instead of a note from his doctor. Probably won’t happen until the current mainstream media in America finishes augering into the ground and we get some new owners.

As opposed to a Obama who is the heartbeat, who is a neophyte, who stayed in the senate for one year before running for president, who by his own admission stated he was not ready for a president run before he ran, who’s own vp selection said he was not ready, who has never ran a business, who has never been an executive or made an executive decision, who is an ignorant neophyte when it comes to foreign affaies, who surrounds himself with anti-semite,anti-white anti -western civilization minded individuals.

chris77030, unfortunately you are right about Down Syndrome children. I used to work with Down Syndrome children and have known several families that suffered acutely — and sometimes disintegrated — because they had a Down Syndrome child.
All we generally hear is how wonderfully loving children with Down Syndrome can be. That is often true, but it’s not the whole story.
What usually happens is that parents don’t understand the challenges of raising such a child — and may not have the emotional or financial resources to do so. Usually the eldest daughters of such families end up being the child’s unpaid — and eventually unwilling — caretaker.
And with advances in medicine, people with Down Syndrome are now outliving their parents. Who is supposed to take care of these people?
I’m certainly not advocating euthanasia for infants with Down Syndrome — but I think any woman who has a child after age 40 and is unwilling to abort a defective fetus is committing a morally irresponsible act.

I think Palin owes no one a single page of her medical records. It’s NOT in the Constitution as a prerequisite for office. We’ve only seen a 1 page letter from Obama’s doctor that he’s healthy. I hope that Palin does the same. She’s entitled to keep her privacy just like Obama. I think once he or she comes into office, then I’d just like an okay from a doc. I think we have so many other important issues besides the every day sliming of Palin from the MSM. What will the MSM do after Nov. 4th? I’d rather hear Obama’s reasons for increasing social security taxes up 5% in a couple of years. I want to know why he was a member of the Democratic Socialist of America! I want to know about his childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, the communist. Only after the Joe the plumber moment, I’ve never heard Obama state his views of government intervention. He’s very shrewd.
Posted by: justrighttoo | October 26, 2008, 5:02 pm 5:02 pm
Funny thing is, and not the laughing type funny, is now Palin is pretending to be the injured party when she and McCain viciously attacked Obama giving rise to hate rallies that looked more like the days of such white segregationists as George Wallace and a host of others. Now, they’re crying “no fair” when they were the ones who are poster children for vicious attacks on their opponent. Both, Palin & McCain need to give it up and stop the whining. Obama took the attacks all in stride even when they became so vicious and out of control that they turned to threats. You two did all the character assassination attacks on Obama. You created this atmosphere with no regards that it could possibly turn so vicious. So Please! Don’t pretend the injured party now.

Where the heck is Obama’s COMPLETE medical record, hah?
The only thing that he has released is an one page “Doctor’s Note” like the ones kids bring to school when they are out sick. It basically says that he is in good health!
Why is the freaking media so interested in Palin’s medical records and NOT in Obama’s WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! The media witches – Catie Curic and Campbell Brownose and their male colleagues – those male sexist pigs at CNN and MSNBC are just looking for reasons to change the subject of the news from “Joe The Plumber” and “Marxist Obama’s Spread the Wealth Message” to Palin’s $150,000 louzy dollars wardrobe (I am sure Obama’s designer suits, ties, shoes, and Swiss watches have costed a heck of a lot more.
Suddenly, the economy is not such a big issue – Palin’s medical records are – and in their twisted brains Palin’s medical records are more importamt thna Obama’s!
Why is Obama not releasing his? Is he hiding some mental illness perhaps? Hah?
Has he had frequent visits to “therapists” and for what reason? Can we see ALL his drug abuse related records? Once an addict, someone is considered an addict all their life even if they are “clean” for years. Th possibility od relapse is always there. Why he is NOT telling us the facts?
Is this is why he has drives of people voting for him early so they will not be able tochange their mind once some more facts come to light?
SHAME ON THE BIASED PARTISAN MEDIA MORONS ESPECIALLY JOHN CLOWN – AS IN JOHN KLEIN – PRESIDENT OF CNN – AS HE HAS RUINED CNN. TO THE OTHER CLOWN – THE PRESIDENT OF NBC/MSNBC NBC – JEFF ZUCKER – I SAY THAT HE IS MORE PATHETIC THAN THE HIS IDIOTS KEITH OLBERMANN AND CHRIS MATHEWS.
To all of the above and many other left-wing-liberal media MOrons:

AMERICAN PEOPLE DEMAND ANSWERS – RELEASE OBAMA’S MEDICAL RECORDS NOW!

The Palin’s remind me of the Adam’s Family; the old version; although Morticia was more likeable than Sarah and Gomez (who looks like Todd) actually had a sense of humour.

Sara Palin is a bipolar schizophrenic with OCD and multiple personalties who is also suffering from mad cow disease. These are well known facts to her personal psychiatrist, psychologist and family physician, who are bound by Doctor Patient confidentiality. These are also all documented in her medical records, but they’re in the process of undocumenting them before making the official release.
Coming soon!
It’s all true!
You have 30 days to respond and
prove me wrong Sara or you automatically admit to facts as stated.

Does Obama have NPD?
September 30, 2008
The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country’s history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Sen. Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate’s language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his “mission,” displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of “The Malignant Self Love,” Vaknin states, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Pathological narcissism is not run-of-the-mill narcissism – someone with a hedonistic or self-centered sense of self – but rather someone with a very weak sense of self. A child who feels inferior, due to real or perceived social rejection, will try to compensate his feeling of inferiority by a subconscious neurotic mechanism, which the pioneering psychiatrist Alfred Adler coined “Superiority Complex.”
Such a person compensates his devalued and injured self with puffery, pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a fantasy world. Narcissists simply don’t leave it. Since, due to their extreme feeling of inferiority, they don’t fit in the real world, they refuge into this bubble world of fantasy and never get out. This world of pretence becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can’t tell the difference. When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a hurt little boy neglected and unloved, in the body and mind of a grown up man.
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human. What makes narcissists dangerous is their lack of conscience, combined with their superior intelligence and their superb performance ability that fool many. They are predators that outsmart you.
To a narcissist, reality and fantasy are intertwined. He does not just pretend to be omnipotent, omniscient and superior to others; he actually believes it to be so. His delusions of grandiosity are real to him. That is why Obama acts presidential, despite his nugatory life achievements, lack of experience and complete ignorance in economic, political and military matters, as his flip-flopping shows. Obama is a cipher, but in his mind and those of his worshipers, such as Oprah Winfrey, he is “the One,” the messiah who holds the key to all human sufferings.
Narcissism is not just a character flaw, but a mental disorder. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and they are intelligent, when in reality they live in a bubble world of fantasy. It is this incoherence, this disjunction between reality and fantasy that makes them overly confident, self-assured and authoritative.
Narcissists disguise their feeling of inferiority by projecting unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance and focus, and almost always possess superb thespian, communication and oratorical skills. These are traits that make one charismatic and attract a stampede of votaries like flies to sugar. Narcissists are needy people who crave attention. They develop these skills and act them out with regal exquisiteness to attract love, respect and admiration. They are performers, actors, slick chameleons.
Sadly, all the grace, exuberance, equanimity, charm, positive energy and magnetism that narcissists project, are pretence. They have the same function that the Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic National Convention had – to impress. The world of the narcissist is the magical world of smoke and mirrors. He is an illusionist.
NPD, and people’s lack of understanding of it, has made it possible for many insane individuals to rise to the pinnacles of power. It is to this disorder that we owe most of the carnage of history.
When the Bible describes Satan, it gives a textbook definition of narcissism. Narcissists are charming, charismatic, intelligent, persuasive, but deceitful and ruthless. They can seduce multitudes.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, “Never Again.” “Never Again” can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power, it is already too late.
In an article entitled “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer,” I have shown many narcissistic traits that can be observed in Sen. Obama. Should the senator have NPD, all issues in this election would pale in comparison to what is at stake.
Imagine someone with the mindset of Hitler, Khomeini or Kim Jong-il in the White House, with Congress and Senate at his feet. Can you think of a more dreadful scenario?
In the case of Hitler, the only issue that really mattered was his sanity. Instead, the Germans were hoodwinked by his charisma, his oratorical skill and his vacuous promises of change. They paid a hefty price for their negligence. Shouldn’t we learn from their mistakes?
It makes no sense that cops and pilots should be required to take psychiatric evaluation prior to being trusted with a gun or an aircraft, whereas there is no such requirement for those aspiring to run a country and be commander in chief, in charge of weapons of mass destruction.
It is time for the people of the world to demand that those who want to become head of any country submit to rigorous mental checkups. Millions of lives depend on the sanity of these leaders. If the physical health of presidential candidates is important, how much more important is their mental health?
There is no basis upon which to assume Obama would become a murderous tyrant, but there are a number of disturbing traits he shares with murderous world leaders that are worrisome. He can dispel our fears by submitting to a mental checkup.
In the spirit of fairness, I am asking all candidates to submit to this test. Psychiatric evaluation for leaders seeking positions of authority must become mandatory in all countries. Without it we are playing Russian roulette with war and our lives. Imagine how many millions of lives would have been spared only in the last century if aspiring leaders were screened and madmen barred from gaining power.
If you agree this is a vital issue, which transcends all other issues, whatever your political affiliation, I urge you to please sign this petition (follow link below) and invite others to do the same. If enough people become concerned about Sen. Obama’s mental health, they may think twice before casting their votes for him.
Knowledge is Power. Power be with you.

GUPTA: In May, the Obama campaign released a statement from his doctor of 21 years. It was a one-page summary of his medical records.
Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
Dr. Ellis says there is no reason to doubt the official statement.

“And with advances in medicine, people with Down Syndrome are now outliving their parents. Who is supposed to take care of these people?”
—————————————
- According to your guy, government should have no problem. What happens to a dependent child whose parents get killed in an automoblie accident? We can play that game all day.
—————————————
I’m certainly not advocating euthanasia for infants with Down Syndrome — but I think any woman who has a child after age 40 and is unwilling to abort a defective fetus is committing a morally irresponsible act.
—————————————
- Many individuals believe life starts at conception and in fact is the only consistent definition of human life. Some consider abortion more than a morally irresponsible act. What is your definition of a defective fetus? – you’re on a very slippery slope, and God forbid government tries to define in the future, which really isn’t a far fetched idea for our future given the direction our country is heading.

Lia, do you think murdering is a morally irresponsible act? That was Todd and Sarah Palin’s choice and ONLY their choice. So, you’re saying since the baby’s not perfect, just get rid of it. The Palin’s have morals. This is again, a sympton of the leftists’ snobbery and elitism. The Palin’s believe that God has blessed them with a child and NOT a hinderance. You are no one to talk unless you’ve personally been pregnant and had to face that obstacle. Killing is killing. If I were you, I’d be more worried of the liberal judges who let child molesters get out of jail after 60 days. Talk about morally irresponsible!

The average life expectancy for a man at 72 years of age is to live 10 more years. And considering the advanced age of McCain’s mother, it seems that he has great genes. If McCain is elected, he will be the President for four years, not Palin. This “heartbeat away from the Presidency” greatly exaggerates the odds of Palin becoming President. It is very highly unlikely.
It is clear that Biden has a mediocre mind at best: “J-o-b-s, jobs is a three letter word.” The guy is an idiot.

John McCain blasted Bush for his tax stance in the 2000 primaries.
“I’m for tax cuts, but I’m for working Americans. Governor Bush wants to give 38 percent of his tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent. I want to give it to working families.”
[Newshour with Jim Lehrer - February 2, 2000]
John McCain voted against the first round of Bush tax cuts in 2001.
“I am disappointed that the Senate Finance Committee preferred instead to cut the top tax rate of 39.6% to 36%, thereby granting generous tax relief to the wealthiest individuals of our country at the expense of lower- and middle-income American taxpayers.” [McCain Senate floor statement, May 21, 2001]
In 2003, McCain was just one of three Republican senators to vote against the second round of Bush tax cuts.
Why is this an issue? Simple. Under Obama, the top two income tax brackets would go back to 36% and 39.6%. This is what the top two tax brackets were before the Bush tax cuts– the ones John McCain voted against! McCain wanted to keep taxes at 36 and 39.6% on the wealthiest Americans.

Seriously, who cares that much. For all the talking heads, no one ever mentions that Obama and McCain are both pretty socialist. Heck, even Bush signed socialism into effect with the bailouts. We’re screwed both ways, it’s not America anymore people. It’s just not.

Besides that – check out | James Pethokoukis | the author.
Back in May he was blogging about how the economy was strong and the left was just whining.
He’s a propaganda artist.

Obama’s Illegal Alien Pakistani Roommate
Mr. Obama’s inadvertent admission of spending a college vacation in 1981 in Pakistan has also shown a light on yet another qualification he has for the Presidency.
For Mr. Obama at one time befriended and ultimately roomed with an illegal alien from Pakistan while attending Columbia University.
Behold the momentous details from Mr. Obama’s first autobiography, Dreams From My Father:
CHAPTER SIX
I SPENT MY FIRST NIGHT in Manhattan curled up in an alleyway. It wasn’t intentional; while still in L.A., I had heard that a friend of a friend would be vacating her apartment in Spanish Harlem, near Columbia, and that given New York’s real estate market I’d better grab it while I could. An agreement was reached; I wired ahead with the date of my August arrival; and after dragging my luggage through the airport, the subways, Times Square, and across 109th from Broadway to Amsterdam, I finally stood at the door, a few minutes past ten P.M.
I pressed the buzzer repeatedly, but no one answered. The street was empty, the buildings on either side boarded up, a bulk of rectangular shadows. Eventually, a young Puerto Rican woman emerged from the building, throwing a nervous look my way before heading down the street. I rushed to catch the door before it slammed shut, and, pulling my luggage behind me, proceeded upstairs to knock, and then bang, on the apartment door. Again, no answer, just a sound down the hall of a deadbolt thrown into place.
New York. Just like I pictured it. I checked my wallet-not enough money for a motel. I knew one person in New York, a guy named Sadik whom I’d met in L.A., but he’d told me that he worked all night at a bar somewhere. With nothing to do but wait, I carried my luggage back downstairs and sat on the stoop. After a while, I reached into my back pocket, pulling out the letter I’d been carrying since leaving L.A. …
It was well past midnight by the time I crawled through a fence that led to an alleyway. I found a dry spot, propped my luggage beneath me, and fell asleep, the sound of drums softly shaping my dreams. In the morning, I woke up to find a white hen pecking at the garbage near my feet. Across the street, a homeless man was washing himself at an open hydrant and didn’t object when I joined him. There was still no one home at the apartment, but Sadik answered his phone when I called him and told me to catch a cab to his place on the Upper East Side.
He greeted me on the street, a short, well-built Pakistani who had come to New York from London two years earlier and found his caustic wit and unabashed desire to make money perfectly pitched to the city’s mood. He had overstayed his tourist visa and now made a living in New York’s high-turnover, illegal immigrant workforce, waiting on tables. As we entered the apartment I saw a woman in her underwear sitting at the kitchen table, a mirror and a razor blade pushed off to one side.
“Sophie,” Sadik started to say, “this is Barry –”
“Barack,” I corrected, dropping my bags on the floor. The woman waved vaguely, then told Sadik that she’d be gone by the time he got back. I followed Sadik back downstairs and into a Greek coffee shop across the street. I apologized again about having called so early.
“Don’t worry about it,” Sadik said. “She seemed much prettier last night.” He studied the menu, then set it aside. “So tell me, Bar-sorry. Barack. Tell me, Barack. What brings you to our fair city?”
I tried to explain. I had spent the summer brooding over a misspent youth, I said-the state of the world and the state of my soul. “I want to make amends,” I said. “Make myself of some use.”
Sadik broke open the yolk of an egg with his fork. “Well, amigo…you can talk all you want about saving the world, but this city tends to eat away at such noble sentiments. Look out there.” He gestured to the crowd along First Avenue. “Everybody looking out for number one. Survival of the fittest. Tooth and claw. Elbow the other guy out of the way. That, my friend, is New York. But…” He shrugged and mopped up some egg with his toast. “Who knows? Maybe you’ll be the exception. In which case I will doff my hat to you.”
Sadik tipped his coffee cup toward me in mock salute, his eyes searching for any immediate signs of change. And in the coming months he would continue to observe me as I traveled, like a large lab rat, through the byways of Manhattan. He would suppress a grin when the seat I had offered to a middle-aged woman on the subway was snatched up by a burly young man. At Bloomingdale’s, he would lead me past human mannequins who spritzed perfume into the air and watch my reaction as I checked over the eye-popping price tags on winter coats. He would offer me lodging again when I gave up the apartment on 109th for lack of heat, and accompany me to Housing Court when it turned out that the sublessors of my second apartment had failed to pay the rent and run off with my deposit.
“Tooth and claw, Barack. Stop worrying about the rest of these bums out here and figure out how you’re going to make some money out of this fancy degree you’ll be getting.”
When Sadik lost his own lease, we moved in together. And after a few months of closer scrutiny, he began to realize that the city had indeed had an effect on me, although not the one he’d expected. I stopped getting high. I ran three miles a day and fasted on Sundays. For the first time in years, I applied myself to my studies and started keeping a journal of daily reflections and very bad poetry. Whenever Sadik tried to talk me into hitting a bar, I’d beg off with some tepid excuse, too much work or not enough cash. One day, before leaving the apartment in search of better company, he turned to me and offered his most scathing indictment.
“You’re becoming a bore.”
I knew he was right, although I wasn’t sure myself what exactly had happened. In a way, I was confirming Sadik’s estimation of the city’s allure, I suppose; its consequent power to corrupt. With the Wall Street boom, Manhattan was humming, new developments cropping up everywhere; men and women barely out of their twenties already enjoying ridiculous wealth, the fashion merchants fast on their heels. The beauty, the filth, the noise, and the excess, all of it dazzled my senses; there seemed no constraints on originality of lifestyles or the manufacture of desire-a more expensive restaurant, a finer suit of clothes, a more exclusive nightspot, a more beautiful woman, a more potent high. Uncertain of my ability to steer a course of moderation, fearful of falling into old habits, I took on the temperament if not the convictions of a street corner preacher, prepared to see temptation everywhere, ready to overrun a fragile will.
My reaction was more than just an attempt to curb an excessive appetite, though, or a response to sensory overload. Beneath the hum, the motion, I was seeing the steady fracturing of the world taking place. I had seen worse poverty in Indonesia and glimpsed the violent mood of inner-city kids in L.A.; I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicion between the races. But whether because of New York’s density or because of its scale, it was only now that I began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America’s race and class problems joined; the depth, the ferocity, of resulting tribal wars; the bile that flowed freely not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia’s bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes…
Like most of this tome, this passage is weird in any number of ways.
And of course, like every other episode in the book, it ends with racism. Which is always “topic A,” with Mr. Obama.
(By the way, there aren’t any alleys in Manhattan.)
“Yes, no alleyways and 109th and Amsterdam is not Spanish Harlem!”

By what is on this comment section, the McCain/Palin supporters are a little too angry….how about focusing on “America” and what is happening in this country and the fact that the last 8 years is a direct result of George Bush rule with a republican congressional and senatorial majority. The Dems in power for the last 2 years have been unable to accomplish anything because they don’t have enough of a majority. If the Dems had done what Bush and the right wing religious fundamentalists have done I would have accepted responsibility, apologized and honestly started thinking about what is right for “our country”. I hate to break the news to the religious fundamentalists in this country, but “our country was founded on “freedom of and freedom from” religion. Our country is not all about your religious beliefs.

Re: Obama’s Illegal Alien Pakistani Roommate”
“You know I see why people can find this book [Dreams From My Father] so interesting – the problem I see is this – will the real Barry please stand up -
As you said SG, like so much of what he writes and says – it is weird in any number of ways – but it all seems to be cloaked in this easy going, just one of the guys who always ends up a racist -
And that is what scares me – is he/has he always been a racist – which means that his whole persona is about hating himself – a a tad psychotic – which raises a question – is that something we really want in the WH/POTUS?
Or is he really just lying to us – just to keep us guessing – putting on a ‘tude for the hood and just one of the guys for the rest of us – which also is a tad psychotic and well, see above.
Or is he a muslim, America hating extremist who plays the just one of the guys in the hopes to win the WH/POTUS to take America down from within – which is the worst senario of the bunch.
Did you catch how he attempts to portray himself (just one of the guys) shlepping his own luggage – while also implying how he was rising above to be better? This kind of gibberish is why I really, really don’t like autobiographical books – or obits – Not a single person alive is that damn wonderful.
All I can say is that Barry is too darn full of it to be POTUS – the more I read (I am waiting patiently for his Dreams to be returned to the library – hey I gagged my way through My Lies and Lying History – for the good of the cause I will read Dreams too) about this guy – the more he makes WJ Clinton seem deep. . .and that is a frightening thing.”

Listen Obama has won fair and square with is pander that “95% of all Americans will get a tax rebate check”. $500 per vote – quite a buy.

“She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.” Someone criticised Obama’s ‘limited’ health release in an earlier post. Well he’s released enough to satisfy necessity. That’s all Sarah needs to do, isn’t it? Surely we don’t need to know any more detail than anyone else has given. Aren’t these health releases just to verify that the candidates are in good health?

Palin had over 80 percent approval rating, in Alaska. XXX SHE HASN’T BEEN IN OFFICE LONG ENOUGH TO SCREW UP MUCH- EXCEPT FOR THE OIL PIPELINE AND THE BRIDGE. PLUS IN ALASKA THE “GOVERNOR” DOES NOT DO MUCH OTHER THAN DOLE OUT THE OIL MONEY. XXX
She comes from a state pretty much like Pres CLinton did. XXX NO, PRESIDENT CLINTON CAME FROM A RURAL STATE WITH A FEW MILLION PEOPLE AND HE WAS GOVERNOR FOR 8 TO TEN YEARS, HAVING BEEN ELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PALIN COMES FROM A STATE WITH A POPULATION THE SIZE OF CHARLOTTE, NC, A TON OF OIL MONEY AND IS IN THE 2ND YEAR OF HER FIRST TERM- A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE. XXX
Most people do not like her becasue she is a woman. XXX NO, MOST PEOPLE DON’T LIKE PALIN BECAUSE SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE VP OR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES…AND OF COURSE SHE IS A TOTAL PHONY. XXX
She has more executive level experience than Obama and Biden as a Governor. XXX ONCE AGAIN SHE HAS LITERALLY NO “EXECUTIVE” EXPERIENCE- EVEN WITH HER TIME ON THE PTA SHE IS STILL GROSSLY UNQUALIFIED. XXX
Senators do not nor will they ever have executive level experience. XXX YOU HAVE JUST STATED THAT JOHN MCCCAIN IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. XXX

There are different standards for republicans and democrats. It is well known that Bill Clinton has herpes. He never released that in his medical forms. We know that Biden has aneurysms and is supposed to be scanned regularly – none of those have been released.
Who knows what is specifically wrong with Obama – could be anorexia – or just having to talk to Pelosi, Reid, and Barney Franks. I think Obama’s one page “He’s OK” medical release is enough.
Couric will be all over Palin if she does that. The View will call her racist – they really do not need a logical argument.

After years of watching the media flip from reporting the news to making the news and becoming stalkers under the cover of “the publics right to know”, I guess it was only a matter of time for them to figure out that they can not only sway juries but sway local, State, and National elections. After years of feeding us pap instead of actual news, how can people know what is real and what is something cooked up in back room and force fed through print, digital and audio mediums? It’s been bad enough trying to find any information that remotely looks like a fact about any of the candidates for any office this election year, but ADN’s endorsement of Senator Obama is the ultimate betrayal of their readership. Shame on them for again trying to make the news instead of reporting it!

This article is misleading. Palin is releasing her medical records, true enough. But Obama has NOT released his records – and that’s not right. It is misleading to say she is the only one who has not released medical data, when Obama’s is a mere doctor’s note.
Also, Ann – did you expect the “biggest paper in Alaska” to do differently? Sorry, old news. The problem is that within their endorsement lies a lack of logical progression. Obama began his run for president a mere 143 days into his senatorial seat. Her “lack of experience” is about the same as his – but he is running for president, she only vice-president. How can they possibly claim he is ready for that title?

GUPTA: In May, the Obama campaign released a statement from his doctor of 21 years. It was a one-page summary of his medical records.
Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”

McCains unilateral foreign policy stance that is the same as Bush has nothing to do with anything.. it’s the Media.. They will do anything they can to get Obama in office. McCains poor military record and D- grades don’t count, it’s the Media I tell you. The liberal media will do anything to discredit McCain. McCains picking a running mate from the bottom of the barrel so he can pander to his ‘base’ is irrelevant.. it’s the Media!! The Media has bagged this election for Obama. They are just leftists posing as reporters. Just because McCain can’t defend his own positions doesn’t mean the Media point that out.. they will do anything to get Obama in office regardless of how superior his stance is on the real issues. I cannot believe people put up with this biased reporting.. they all should be shut down except for Fox. That is the only real reporting outlet that we can trust.

Hmmm… TS clearance background checks and various investigations are on-going…If Obama is elected and the
“s–t hits the fan”…Oh well, that’s what “impeachements” are for!
*****************
Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
By Gregory D. Lee
Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent.
October 10, 2008
A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.
He doesn’t know how right he is.
Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.
There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.
Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.
Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.
To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!
Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.
A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.
I once conducted a background check for an applicant to become a secretary for DEA. She had previously worked for a large police department as a secretary, and left the job to have a child. She was ready to re-enter the workforce and wanted to work for DEA. She seemed perfect for the job until the background investigation revealed that she lied on her application. She claimed to have 30-semester hours of college in office management, when in reality she attended one day of one class and then dropped out. The fact that she lied was sufficient justification to consider her application no further. After all, if she would lie about that, what else has she lied about? Obviously the woman lacked integrity, which is a vital qualification for any position within the federal government, even a DEA secretary who would have access to all investigative reports.
I’d like to conduct Sen. Obama’s background investigation. I’d review his application for the Illinois state bar and see if he mentioned the drug usage that he disclosed in one of his books. If the question about drugs was asked, and he denied it at the time, his integrity is immediately put into question. He revealed it in his book to float a balloon to test his potential as a viable presidential candidate. Admitting it prevented his political opponents from attacking him about it. In fact, in the eyes of many Sen. Obama supporters, using drugs enhances his resume. It’s something they can relate to.
Personally I like my presidents to not associate with known criminals, be drug-free for a lifetime, have unquestioned integrity and be able to pass a simple background investigation.

Bringing Palin down is not what America needs. People are wondering if Obama has Sicle Cell Anemia and that is why he is so thin. A one page medical record was hardly enough. Now that he has refused to provide a court ordered Birth Certificate the people are really begining to get concerned.

You do not even know the definition of “democracy” or where it was even born! Go hit some history books, BOZO and then come back here to tell us that a retired war hero – POW, who almost lost his life for our country (regardless if the war he was fighting was right or wrong he was fighting for AMERICA) would cause the end of Democracy.
Hide your freaking face – UN-AMERICAN IDIOT. Your MARXIST Savior of the “masses” (the sheep) will end democracy in America.
Yes, morally sound patriotic American people want a war hero as our President. We do not want “whinners” – Harvard “elitists”, who forgot their brains at Harvard and ended up working with terrorists, drug dealers, and other Chicago criminals (he has the audacity to call it “community organizing”).
Oh! I know…he speaks well!

“I’m going to the Middle East,” Dramesi says. “Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran.”
“Why are you going to the Middle East?” McCain asks, dismissively.
“It’s a place we’re probably going to have some problems,” Dramesi says.
“Why? Where are you going to, John?”
“Oh, I’m going to Rio.”
“What the hell are you going to Rio for?”
McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.
“I got a better chance of getting laid.”
Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised.

“I enjoyed the off-duty life of a Navy flier more than I enjoyed the actual flying,” McCain writes. “I drove a Corvette, dated a lot, spent all my free hours at bars and beach parties.” McCain chased a lot of tail. He hit the dog track. Developed a taste for poker and dice. He picked up models when he could, screwed a stripper when he couldn’t.

No fault of Mr McCain, but obviously
Obama’s medical records are more slim than the voluminous ones of McCain because he has 25 years’ less health records to present.
One would assume that Ms. Palin appears healthy too – so why the hold-up? What is she afraid to reveal? Just as in the Troopergate standoff, if she would just cooperate she would create far less drama than by looking as if she is trying to hide something.

Anyone that states that “My life is an open book” and really no one knows much about her is suspect. Medical records are important just as Obama’s birth certificate which is on fact check.
The amount of time which has gone by for this “very healthy” woman leads me to believe that she is definitely not the mother of Trig. Some people will say that’s not a big deal. No, she was not protecting her daughter Bristol… she was looking out for her own image.
The pentecostal church to which she belongs OWNS the hospital where he was born. She definitely did not look like a mother who had delivered a baby with Down’s if you check her out just after he was delivered. Also, going to work 3 days after he was born??? At any rate, if true and she did lie what more is she capable of lying about??? I can only imagine. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. She is not one of us. It will come home to roost with her.

Obama clearly has some health issues – the guy is gaunt and ashen. His wife is the picture of health. One can assume that it is not an issue of diet.
Does Obama being a little anorexic – does it matter – not a bit. Just silly to keep going after it. He is clearly sound enough to debate for hours. Health is not problem for any of these people.
Health is only an issue if one wants to smear people and distract us from the real issues.

Bill, sickle cell anemia doesn’t make people thin. I know many people with sickle cell and believe me they are anything BUT thin.
As for as a birth certificate. Anyone at anytime can go to any city records office and obtain a copy of someone’s birth certificate. Even if Obama refused, which I seriously doubt he’s even been asked, if someone wanted his birth certificate bad enough they would have it by now. This is a non-issue like so many other dirt slinging tactics the GOP strategy has tried and failed and only proceeded to sink their own ship. That “swiftboating” that was tried on John Kerry has runned it course and out lived itself. People are sick and tired of all the dirt and that’s why McCain has fallen in the polls.
Posted by: another_non_issue | October 26, 2008, 7:39 pm 7:39 pm
Soon after McCain hit the ground in Hanoi, the code went out the window. “I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital,” he later admitted pleading with his captors. McCain now insists the offer was a bluff, designed to fool the enemy into giving him medical treatment. In fact, his wounds were attended to only after the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a Navy admiral. What has never been disclosed is the manner in which they found out: McCain told them. According to Dramesi, one of the few POWs who remained silent under years of torture, McCain tried to justify his behavior while they were still prisoners. “I had to tell them,” he insisted to Dramesi, “or I would have died in bed.”
Dramesi says he has no desire to dishonor McCain’s service, but he believes that celebrating the downed pilot’s behavior as heroic — “he wasn’t exceptional one way or the other” — has a corrosive effect on military discipline. “This business of my country before my life?” Dramesi says. “Well, he had that opportunity and failed miserably. If it really were country first, John McCain would probably be walking around without one or two arms or legs — or he’d be dead.”

Ta-Ta to Tutu, or Aloha to Oval Office? Why Is Obama Oahu-bound?
By John Lillpop
Barack Obama would have the world believe that, as we enter the last days of the historical presidential campaign, he has decided to stop campaigning in order to visit his ailing grand mother in Hawaii.
Duh, curious given the fact that he was just there in August.
There is another possibility. Namely, answering the Supreme Court Petition by ANDY MARTIN, found at the link below, which challenges the Messiah’s birth certificate and eligibility for the U.S. Presidency.
Aloha to the presidency? One can only hope and pray!

cw: I respect your service to our country and thank you for risking your life to protect my rights. However, I am curious, you say it sacres you that Palin may become commander in chief if something happens to McCain. How does it not scare you that Obam will be commander in chief if you elect him?
How would you have felt if Obama had pulled our troops out or Iraq last year and the country fell into the hands of extremists supported by Iran? How would the images of Islamic extremists all over the world celebrating their victory over “the great Satan” make you feel?
You say you have been serving for close to 30 years. That means you were a military man when Iran took our embassy employees hostage and held them for more than a year. Do you recall the mood of the country then? Do you not see teh similarities betwen Obama and Carter?
I am voting for McCain because I remember those years and I remember the low morale of the American people as we counted the days our government was powerless to free those hostages. I remember teh daily images on TV of Iranians celebrating and burning our flag while we did nothing. I sincerely believe McCain would not let that happen again. I also firmly believe that Obama would.
Again, I am humbled by those who serve our country. But I respectfully disagree with your rationale behind your decision.

NEWS ANCHOR FAILS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SMEAR SENATOR OBAMA AS MARXIST DURING INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR BIDEN
First the backdrop. Barbara West is married to Wade West, a political media consultant for Republican politicians, professionals and organizations. Not sure if Senator Biden knew that when he sat down to do the interview. Barbara also is an ABC News Anchor with Orlando, Florida affiliate WFTV channel 9, which is owned by Cox Enterprise.
But with all her so-call ‘professional objectivity’, Barbara could not resist the temptation to try and smear Senator Obama with Marxist question while interviewing Senator Joe Biden. Either way, Senator Biden handled himself very well. Naturally the full interview is all over the web and a “must see” video.

It’s the not the birth certificate that shows residency or citizenship, For all of you who have obviously never been outside the US, it’s the passport. Obama’s BC could very well state that he was born overseas but even so, he is still a citizen of the USA because his mother was, that entitles him citizenship, as well as holding two passports, one from kenya and one from the USA, it’s called dual citizenship with the USA allows. I know because i have dual citizenship and so do my children, who were born in New Zealand. The BC is irrelevant.
Besides, they wouldn’t allow someone to be in the senate if they weren’t a US citizen….please get educated.

McCain has been the beneficiary of Socialized medicine his whole life through his father’s military service, his navy years and in Congress. That was the good kind given by us.

to chad…if he was born abroad, like Senator McCain was, and in order for him to possess a US Passport, you have to fill out the form required to get a US passport called AMERICAN BORN ABROAD, it is prerequisite in acquiring a dual citizenship when you have a US citizen giving birth in a country with a non US citizen. So, if he was born in KENYA, which I think he was, because his mother was there at the time, there would absolutely be on file an AMERICAN BORN ABRAOD APPLICATION FORM. That’s what all my children had to fill out as well in order to get their US citizenship. I have two children from NZ and one now from AUSTRALIA. In fact, they require you to fill this out. Without it, you can’t get citizenship. So what you would be looking for is this form, not the birth certificate. You might look in the direction of this first FBI background check back when he became a senator. Working for the DEA, that’s the first thing they asked me for…I’m sure a US Senator had to give one too.

People – Obama’s records are out there. Just do a little more research than parroting either left or right leaning news organizations. Although I will say the right-leaners seem to be made of people who – just listen to what I say not what I do.
People are making a big deal of Ayers – but what about McCain and his pal-ing around with Keating? Here is a known felon who fleeced the US people out of 2 billion dollars. There are many others that McCain should be questioned about but the REAL truth is – ‘It’s the ECONOMY STUPID!’.
If we were dealing with the McCain of the 2000 campaign – we would not be having any discussions. Back then he was thoughtful and really seemed to care about his message. Now he just looks eratic and angry – angry that he can’t get what he thinks he truly deserves – the Whitehouse.
John – if only Powerblog was a REAL news outlet – it is just a blog by the Claremont Institute a NEO-CON think tank. Haven’t we had enough of them?

I voted straight red ticket today. It was the first time in my over 30 years of voting that I didn’t vote for the democratic nominee for president. It’s really sad what has happened the party that I supported for so long. As a woman, it breaks my heart that this country is attacking Palin like this. She might as well have a scarlett letter on her like an earlier time in history. A woman in this country has to be damn near perfect to be elected to office. We have elected lots of men and some of them were really bad and some were good. We have never elected a woman to the highest office and probably never will because first there was Hillary and now Palin and the public scrutiny and ridicule that they both have received is downright pathetic. What makes it worse is when it comes from other women. Truely strong and real feminist women would vote for Palin, not because of her views but because she is a woman. Women make up over half the population in this country and they are not represented very well in Washington. The only way we as women can change that is to elect a lot of women. Some may be good and some may be bad, but we need to elect a lot of them.

The Campaign is “working on it?” What’s to work on, all Palin has to do is fill out a medical records request and have them mail it to the newspaper of her choice or get a copy and hand it over to the media. What is being redacted or hidden? The fact that earlier this year, and last year Palin was never pregnant? Why would she not have released her records sooner? What is she hiding. We know she is hiding something–when she was first chosen they hid her, we found out they had good reason–Palin was and remains a bonafide airhead. Then she refused to cooperate in Troopergate–found out why–Palin was abusing her power. Now she is hiding her medical records–must be something there–bet the records will be incomplete…LOL

Obama Couldn’t Be Cleared
By George H. Wittman
Founding chairman of the National Institute for Public Policy.
10.17.08
The lowest-ranking enlisted persons in the Armed Forces of the United States who are expected to handle sensitive matters in the scores of jobs involving classified equipment or written material must be investigated before obtaining their security clearance. Could Barack Obama gain such a clearance?
To begin, the clearance applicant would have to complete a detailed personal history form that includes, if necessary, government access to all health and education files. This is the starting point of all security investigations. Top Secret clearance involves a field investigation rather than the Secret version that is usually limited to a “name check” that is a basic police and public information file review. For the TS clearance an investigator will visit the home neighborhoods and work place sites of the applicant in search of supportive and/or derogatory references.
If the clearance is extended further into the handling of information of such importance that it requires a compartmented distribution, the field and document investigation is pursued with considerable vigor over a lengthy period of time. Nuclear and other sensitive technical or political matters fall into this category.
In all cases, whether on the lower level or up to the most sensitive intelligence, the background of the applicant’s personal and business involvement forms the nucleus of the initial phase of the investigation. The people with whom the applicant associates lead the investigator to personal connections and matters relative to the individual’s character, beliefs and past acts appropriate to matters of security.
Eligibility for clearance at all levels is directly influenced by the people with whom one associates. Yes, who your friends are and have been does count — a great deal. This is true, of course, in many types of police investigations where suspicion is adequate reason for further inquiry. In matters of security clearance, past associations often can mean the end of the process rather than just the beginning.
Considering Barack Obama as a candidate for a top secret security clearance status with a full array of compartmented clearances, one has to be cognizant of the fact that there is considerable evidence of associations and even assistance from individuals with past criminal records or who have expressed anti-American beliefs. Obviously admitted domestic terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, as well as recently convicted felon, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, fall into this category.
There is no possibility that a Top Secret clearance would be awarded to a member of the Armed Forces whose background included such associations. An intelligence service clearance for the handling of highly classified material would be totally out of the question.
IF THERE IS SOME hesitancy to accept that Barack Obama’s associations would have precluded his obtaining a TS clearance with compartmented information access, it should be realized he would have had to pass both a polygraph test and a personal psychological evaluation. What are the chances of his being willing to take these tests, to say nothing of his passing, in light of his refusal even to make his educational records available?
It may be deemed unfair, but a child of an American mother and a foreign-born non-U.S. citizen father always receives additional scrutiny. So does the fact that questions have arisen concerning the source of funding for Obama’s law school education. According to a well-researched article by Kenneth Timmerman (Newsmax), Obama was assisted financially by Khalid al-Mansour through the latter’s rich Saudi contacts. Mansour has been referred to as a “Black Nationalist and a Black Muslim” who was a mentor to the founders of the radical Black Panther Party of the 1960s.
All of these matters would have arisen in a normal security clearance. The harsh truth is that the United States is willing to accept presidential candidates like Barack H. Obama who could never gain a Top Secret clearance if he was simply a U.S. Army enlisted man. And yet Obama wants to be Commander-in-Chief. Something is wrong here!

*******************
Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
By Gregory D. Lee
Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent.
October 10, 2008
A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.
He doesn’t know how right he is.
Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.
There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.
Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.
Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.
To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!
Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.
A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.
I once conducted a background check for an applicant to become a secretary for DEA. She had previously worked for a large police department as a secretary, and left the job to have a child. She was ready to re-enter the workforce and wanted to work for DEA. She seemed perfect for the job until the background investigation revealed that she lied on her application. She claimed to have 30-semester hours of college in office management, when in reality she attended one day of one class and then dropped out. The fact that she lied was sufficient justification to consider her application no further. After all, if she would lie about that, what else has she lied about? Obviously the woman lacked integrity, which is a vital qualification for any position within the federal government, even a DEA secretary who would have access to all investigative reports.
I’d like to conduct Sen. Obama’s background investigation. I’d review his application for the Illinois state bar and see if he mentioned the drug usage that he disclosed in one of his books. If the question about drugs was asked, and he denied it at the time, his integrity is immediately put into question. He revealed it in his book to float a balloon to test his potential as a viable presidential candidate. Admitting it prevented his political opponents from attacking him about it. In fact, in the eyes of many Sen. Obama supporters, using drugs enhances his resume. It’s something they can relate to.
Personally I like my presidents to not associate with known criminals, be drug-free for a lifetime, have unquestioned integrity and be able to pass a simple background investigation.

Of the 4 candidates Palin is the least qualified because she cannot think. Canned responses and scripts do not work in real life–Palin did not know what nation building, direct diplomacy or the recovery bailout was. She did not understand or know Kissinger’s position or what the Bush doctrine was. She did not appear to know her lies or statements would be fact checked and therefore repeatedly lied about that bridge, about troopergate, about the 150K in clothing. The least qualified. Next comes McCain, not only for being a liar but for lacking self discipline, He can’t dedicate himself to one message and has a hard time staying on point with his positions. He may have dementia. Biden is a liability and Obama is Mr. Smooth, but on merit–Palin cannot on any level be compared to Hillary Clinton. It is like Palin is a flashlight and Clinton is a star–no comparison.

All I also know is that ironically he is in Hawaii to see his grandma while just a few days ago, a motion was filled to move this case to Hawaii’s Supreme Court.
P.S. Why is Obama NOT telling ANYONE about his grandma’s mysterious illness? Come on! I hope that both Obama and the grandma are always in good health but something something is wrong here. The media that gave us a full report about Mrs. Reagan’s recent hospitalization has not told us a thing about Obama’s grndma’s ilness. Why????!!!
Perhaps because she is just fine and Obama’s visit is due to some OTHER matters!

Having researched this — It seems there is no long compelling candidates to release medical information. Arguments are made both for and against this topic — Eisenhour’s should have died based on his medical records but didn’t. Tsonga’s was in remission from cancer. God knows how many presidents sufferer from depression and anxiety — that changes day to day is more likely than not — situational — by the event — hmm let’s see — McCain has/had skin cancer — let’s not for get age is irrelevant — as Senator John Glenn went up on the space shuttle at age 80. Obama smokes cigarettes – -claims he quit — but bums theme off of everyone on his campaign — Biden had an aneurism and is better. Palin had a child at age 44. What else do we need to know? I don’t think we need to know anything more — Chaney has had non-stop heart issues in office. Positive reinforcement for being your best — stops the stress — related to worrying about dying. My physicans said the best way to stay health was to avoid medical opinions and statistical analyses predicting my longevity. I agree. MYOB

An absolute lie… a product of Wikipedia. She will not be relected.
>She comes from a state pretty much like Pres CLinton did.
Except that Clinton ran a state with four times the population, and a major cosmopolitan area. Plus, he had the job for 14 years not 18 months. Plus he was never investigated and reprimanded for abuse of power, ethics violations, etc. etc.
> Most people do not like her becasue she is a woman.
Most people do not like her because she is utterly unqualified for public office.
> She has more executive level experience than Obama and Biden as a Governor.
She also then has more executive level experience than McCain. But then again, I seriously doubt you even know what “executive level experince” even means.

Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the ’60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.
Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we’ve almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.
If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there’s not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.
Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.
This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.

Palin said “if” whats the big deal release your med. records. Also on Obama’s health record many men do not have extensive medical records till later in life. Is Sarah trying to hide how many pregnancies she’s really had??? is it 4 ???? She’s the one “sleeping with the enemy” married to a man who has taken a sworn oath “against the USA and everything this country stands for, Todd Palin is an insurgient terrorist!!!!

Obama would be a great film star…
(Btw, he is the one running for President – not Satah Palin!)
1. Yes, Sarah Palin is being drug around in the dirt because she is a Republican woman and how dare the person call Sarah a Caribou Barbie! That is one of the most sexist comments, yet. Also, for the one who called her “trailer trash” that just shows to me that it is not the Republicans who are elitists but the Democrats.This should be very offensive to those whose homes are trailers and who don’t make a six figure income.
2.It keeps coming up about the Bridge to Nowhere. Obama has ALSO been in favor of MANY things and then changed his mind….Israel/Pakistan…Russian/Georgia, etc. but NO-ONE dwells on that. In fact, he can’t make a decision; he just goes with the flow after asking dozens of advisors. He is charmismatic, I will give him that but charisma isn’t what we need. Some of you mentioned that McCain’s heroism doesn’t qualify him for the White House…well,okay then…neither does being a charismatic celebrity. Obama would be a great film star. He loves the spotlight. He’s an eloquent speaker. I’ve heard that John McCain is not. Hmmm…someone who’s become good at smoothly eloquent speaking probably has learned to make words work for him and twist them when necessary and people won’t even notice.
3. I’ve noticed that some are comparing Palin’s lack of experience and background to Obama. How come they are not doing the same comparison on McCain and Obama? Why is Joe Biden not the one that is being compared to her? At least, I have not seen much to that;maybe someone can fill me in on somewhere I could see this.
4. It seems Palin has so many sins in her life and McCain, too. Then,I guess the Democrats are without sin. They are presenting themselves as perfect. Too bad the voters are not nearly as perfect as Obama. In the Bible, there was a story about an adulteress that was getting ready to be stoned to death. Jesus told them “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” The Dems have done a great job of casting the stones and hitting Palin.
And, let’s not forget the Democrat who was President, and even though I’m not a Democrat, he did a decent job of the duties in office, yet he was an adulterer while in the office that he was elected to, disappointing Americans, but in this whole election,no one, not even the Republicans (except this one) has brought that up;(which is right thing NOT to do)maybe, it is because we all have skeletons in our closet. Have you ever thought what would come out if you ran for office?
5. The newstands are full of articles tearing Palin down, but I’ve yet to see the faces of Obama (the liberal media’s little darling) or Joe Biden on the covers presented in a negative way. I agree with one blogger who said that these publications are only ruining themselves. Let’s do real journalistic reporting…report the facts, Jack on both sides, both negative and positive and let the readers decide. I would absolutely LOVE to see an article in a mag that compares Obama to McCain and in the same mag Palin to Biden, side by side on issues, skeletons in the closets, biographies, awards and honors….maybe in the form of resumes so the American public could compare and then at the polls hire the ticket they think would be the best for the job.
6. Finally, and then, I’m through. I understand it may be good to understand the candidates’ views based on their faith but it is a little undeserving to undermine one for “praying” that God’s will be done. Our country was founded on a faith in the One True God, The Creator and our laws and values were built upon the Christian faith, but now, it’s not politically correct to be a Christian,no one must renounce their deep beliefs in order to please everyone. I couldn’t see one bit of hatred in the video that has been circulating where she spoke at her church in Alaska. Praying for someone does not cause hatred or racism or sexism. Their beliefs in their faith did not say they hated gays,only that they would be praying for them. And, in the privacy of a church building, they may do whatever (within the law) that they believe. Now that Obama has disowned his pastor, no one has mentioned anymore about how that church shaped his views. They are afraid to because of the venomous rhetoric that came from the pastor’s mouth. Does anyone know what Biden believes;have they gone to a church he attends or does he attend one? What about McCain? What are his religious values? So, then, why does that play into the equation with Palin? I could understand if she were part of an anti-government,hate religion. The most she could be convicted of in her faith is saying that she believes in praying to God, asking His will for the country. Go back in history to other presidents; many were men who prayed or sought God’s will. At least, the great ones did.
Thank you, both Republicans and Democrats for letting me air my feelings. How, sometimes I wish we didn’t have parties. I can’t stand the division and hatred that ensues. Especially when we say “United we stand, Divided we fall.” Let’s just let each other vote our consciences or faith or whatever standard and quit yelling at each other. I really hope that people in other countries don’t read our comments because it will show the United States are not so united after all. And…I will be praying for this election, that God will put in the candidates He wants (and, although I will vote Republican which is voting based on my faith) I know that whichever party gets in will be because God put them there “for such a time as this” and I will relax and support the Preident of the United States and respect the office.

The New York Times trashes Obama’s Health Care Plan…
Health Plan From Obama Spurs Debate
By KEVIN SACK
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/23/us/23health.html?_r=1&ref=policy&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin
It is one of the most audacious promises in a campaign that has been thick with them.
In speech after speech, Senator Barack Obama has vowed that he will lower the country’s health care costs enough to “bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.” Moreover, Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has promised that his health plan will be in place “by the end of my first term as president of the United States.”
Whether Mr. Obama can deliver is a matter of considerable dispute among health analysts and economists. While there is consensus that the American health care system is bloated with waste, eliminating enough to save $2,500 per family would require simultaneous and synergistic solutions to a host of problems that have proved intractable for decades.
Even if the next president and Congress can muster the political will, analysts question whether significant savings would materialize in as little as four years, or even in 10. But as Mr. Obama confronts an electorate that is deeply unsettled by escalating health costs, he is offering a precise “chicken in every pot” guarantee based on numbers that are largely unknowable. Furthermore, it is not completely clear what he is promising.
His words about lowering “premiums” by $2,500 for the average family of four have been fairly consistent. But the health policy advisers who formulated the figure say it actually represents the average family’s share of savings not only in premiums paid by individuals, but also in premiums paid by employers and in tax-supported health programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
“What we’re trying to do,” said one of the advisers, David M. Cutler, in explaining the gap between Mr. Obama’s words and his intent, “is find a way to talk to people in a way they understand.”
The original arithmetic was somewhat basic. In May 2007, three Harvard professors who are unpaid advisers to the Obama campaign — Mr. Cutler, David Blumenthal and Jeffrey Liebman — produced a memorandum offering their “best guess” that a menu of changes would produce savings of at least $200 billion a year (it has since been revised to $214 billion). That would amount to about 8 percent of the $2.5 trillion in health care spending projected for 2009, when the next president takes office.
The memorandum attributed specific savings to several broad initiatives, with the numbers plucked from recent studies. Investments in computerized medical records would save $77 billion a year, the advisers wrote. Reducing administrative costs in the insurance industry would yield up to $46 billion. Improving prevention programs and chronic disease management would be worth $81 billion.
The total savings were then divided by the country’s population, multiplied for a family of four, and rounded down slightly to a number that was easy to grasp: $2,500. The average cost of family coverage bought through an employer was $12,106 in 2007, with workers paying $3,281 of that amount, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health research group.
Mr. Obama aspires to cover the country’s 47 million uninsured by requiring insurers to accept all comers, regardless of their health status, and by providing generous tax credits to low-income workers. The tax credits could be used to buy into a new federal health plan or private plans marketed through a government exchange.
The subsidies are expensive, estimated at well over $100 billion. Other components of the Obama plan also bear up-front costs, like a pledge to spend $50 billion over five years to speed the computerization of health records, $6 billion a year on tax credits to small businesses that provide coverage to workers, and an unspecified amount to buffer businesses from high-cost insurance claims.
The source Mr. Obama has identified to pay for them — the repeal of President Bush’s tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 — would cover only about half. That means additional health care savings would be needed, not only to keep premiums under control but also to help pay for the subsidies.
A consensus has emerged among health economists that at least a third of the country’s spending on health care is unnecessary. Both Mr. Obama, of Illinois, and his Republican rival, Senator John McCain of Arizona, agree that significant sums could be saved through reductions in unneeded procedures and improvements in electronic record-keeping, prevention and chronic disease management.
But the dollar values Mr. Obama has attached to individual components of his plan are beginning to attract scrutiny. In particular, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report in May questioning the amount to be saved from the computerization of health systems.
Mr. Obama took his estimate of $77 billion a year from a 2005 study by the RAND Corporation (which cautioned that reductions of that magnitude would not emerge for 15 years). The Congressional analysts found, however, that for various methodological reasons the RAND study was “not an appropriate guide” to potential savings.
This month, Mr. Obama’s health advisers tried to recast the debate so that the questioning of any one number would not undermine the plan’s broader credibility. They enlisted eight health policy experts to sign a letter that, without endorsing the math behind any single initiative, proclaimed it was “not only possible, but likely” that Mr. Obama could save $200 billion annually. They did not say by when.
Mr. Cutler, who helped collect the signatures, said he and his colleagues had decided “that our attempt to lay out one plausible scenario for the savings had created more problems than it had solved.” He added: “Putting the debate where this message puts it — do you believe we can save 8 percent of health spending through a major series of public and private reforms — asks the question in a way that is much more productive than the issue of ‘Do you believe a single estimate among many, many studies?’ ”
Mr. Obama’s economic policy director, Jason Furman, said the campaign’s estimates were conservative and asserted that much of the savings would come quickly. “We think we could get to $2,500 in savings by the end of the first term, or be very close to it,” Mr. Furman said.
The campaign won additional backing this week from Kenneth E. Thorpe of Emory University, an authority on health care costs who helped formulate Bill Clinton’s failed plan in 1993. In an assessment that he initiated in coordination with the campaign, Mr. Thorpe wrote that if all of Mr. Obama’s proposals were enacted they would reduce health spending by between $203 billion and $273 billion by 2012. He calculated that half of the savings would accrue to the federal government.
The Obama advisers said that while not all of the savings would translate into lower premiums, consumers would gain in other ways. The savings to employers would be passed along as higher wages, they predicted, and the savings to government would eventually mean either lower taxes or added benefits.
But whether employers and governments respond that way cannot be guaranteed, particularly in a difficult economy. And a number of health policy experts have questioned whether the $2,500 projection is either fiscally or politically realistic. Reducing health care costs, they emphasized, means taking money from someone’s pocket and rationing care that Americans have come to expect, a recipe for stiff resistance.
“There is no easy money because, as the saying goes, one person’s fraud and abuse is another person’s income,” said Joseph R. Antos of the American Enterprise Institute. “I wouldn’t think that four years or eight years or probably 10 years will be enough to see numbers of that sort.”
The Commonwealth Fund, a health research group in New York, published a study in December projecting that a robust overhaul consisting of 15 broad initiatives would generate savings of only 6 percent after 10 years. “Doing it by the end of a first term is ambitious and would require tough policies,” said Karen Davis, the group’s president.
Jonathan B. Oberlander, who teaches health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it wishful thinking. “Do they have the potential to generate significant savings in the long run?” Dr. Oberlander asked. “Yes. Do I believe they will produce substantial savings in the short run that can be used to finance Obama’s plan? No.”

I’m willing to bet she is apprehensive about realeasing her med records because she may suffer from clinical depression.If my memory serves me correctly a McCain campaign member reported about 6 weeks ago,the reason she had a tanning bed in the govs mansion was to treat clinical depression(yea he actually revealed that)because he thought the public’s perception of “a tanning bed in the Governor’s mansion?” would be viewed as prima donna like.He instead reported she used it to treat clinical depression.Partly due to the lack of sunlight in Alaska.I think that’s quite serious regardless.We don’t need emotionally unstable leaders in the White House

Does Obama have NPD?
September 30, 2008
The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country’s history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Sen. Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate’s language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his “mission,” displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of “The Malignant Self Love,” Vaknin states, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Pathological narcissism is not run-of-the-mill narcissism – someone with a hedonistic or self-centered sense of self – but rather someone with a very weak sense of self. A child who feels inferior, due to real or perceived social rejection, will try to compensate his feeling of inferiority by a subconscious neurotic mechanism, which the pioneering psychiatrist Alfred Adler coined “Superiority Complex.”
Such a person compensates his devalued and injured self with puffery, pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a fantasy world. Narcissists simply don’t leave it. Since, due to their extreme feeling of inferiority, they don’t fit in the real world, they refuge into this bubble world of fantasy and never get out. This world of pretence becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can’t tell the difference. When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a hurt little boy neglected and unloved, in the body and mind of a grown up man.
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human. What makes narcissists dangerous is their lack of conscience, combined with their superior intelligence and their superb performance ability that fool many. They are predators that outsmart you.
To a narcissist, reality and fantasy are intertwined. He does not just pretend to be omnipotent, omniscient and superior to others; he actually believes it to be so. His delusions of grandiosity are real to him. That is why Obama acts presidential, despite his nugatory life achievements, lack of experience and complete ignorance in economic, political and military matters, as his flip-flopping shows. Obama is a cipher, but in his mind and those of his worshipers, such as Oprah Winfrey, he is “the One,” the messiah who holds the key to all human sufferings.
Narcissism is not just a character flaw, but a mental disorder. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and they are intelligent, when in reality they live in a bubble world of fantasy. It is this incoherence, this disjunction between reality and fantasy that makes them overly confident, self-assured and authoritative.
Narcissists disguise their feeling of inferiority by projecting unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance and focus, and almost always possess superb thespian, communication and oratorical skills. These are traits that make one charismatic and attract a stampede of votaries like flies to sugar. Narcissists are needy people who crave attention. They develop these skills and act them out with regal exquisiteness to attract love, respect and admiration. They are performers, actors, slick chameleons.
Sadly, all the grace, exuberance, equanimity, charm, positive energy and magnetism that narcissists project, are pretence. They have the same function that the Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic National Convention had – to impress. The world of the narcissist is the magical world of smoke and mirrors. He is an illusionist.
NPD, and people’s lack of understanding of it, has made it possible for many insane individuals to rise to the pinnacles of power. It is to this disorder that we owe most of the carnage of history.
When the Bible describes Satan, it gives a textbook definition of narcissism. Narcissists are charming, charismatic, intelligent, persuasive, but deceitful and ruthless. They can seduce multitudes.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, “Never Again.” “Never Again” can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power, it is already too late.
In an article entitled “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer,” I have shown many narcissistic traits that can be observed in Sen. Obama. Should the senator have NPD, all issues in this election would pale in comparison to what is at stake.
Imagine someone with the mindset of Hitler, Khomeini or Kim Jong-il in the White House, with Congress and Senate at his feet. Can you think of a more dreadful scenario?
In the case of Hitler, the only issue that really mattered was his sanity. Instead, the Germans were hoodwinked by his charisma, his oratorical skill and his vacuous promises of change. They paid a hefty price for their negligence. Shouldn’t we learn from their mistakes?
It makes no sense that cops and pilots should be required to take psychiatric evaluation prior to being trusted with a gun or an aircraft, whereas there is no such requirement for those aspiring to run a country and be commander in chief, in charge of weapons of mass destruction.
It is time for the people of the world to demand that those who want to become head of any country submit to rigorous mental checkups. Millions of lives depend on the sanity of these leaders. If the physical health of presidential candidates is important, how much more important is their mental health?
There is no basis upon which to assume Obama would become a murderous tyrant, but there are a number of disturbing traits he shares with murderous world leaders that are worrisome. He can dispel our fears by submitting to a mental checkup.
In the spirit of fairness, I am asking all candidates to submit to this test. Psychiatric evaluation for leaders seeking positions of authority must become mandatory in all countries. Without it we are playing Russian roulette with war and our lives. Imagine how many millions of lives would have been spared only in the last century if aspiring leaders were screened and madmen barred from gaining power.
If you agree this is a vital issue, which transcends all other issues, whatever your political affiliation, I urge you to please sign this petition (follow link below) and invite others to do the same. If enough people become concerned about Sen. Obama’s mental health, they may think twice before casting their votes for him.
Knowledge is Power. Power be with you.

Obama’s mother was American so even if he had been born anywhere in the world he would still be an American citizen. The fact is that he was born in that mysterious, strange land of Hawaii, and it was a US State at the time, albeit a new one. Don’t you think that if there was any doubt about his citizenship, the Clinton’s would have certainly brought that to the forefront and saved themselves a lot of money, time and trouble?

If Mcain campaign doesnt learn the mistakes from their negative campaign and scare tactics, I think and as headofplumbers remarked, americans will turn to Obama in big numbers and he will win by a significant margin in this elections no other president has ever won before.Hopefully GOP will avoid that shame and kick out those poisonous radio talk show hosts from their party.

“John has made a pact with the devil,” says Lincoln Chafee, the former GOP senator, who has been appalled at his one-time colleague’s readiness to sacrifice principle for power. Chafee and McCain were the only Republicans to vote against the Bush tax cuts. They locked arms in opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And they worked together in the “Gang of 14,” which blocked some of Bush’s worst judges from the federal bench.
“On all three — sadly, sadly, sadly — McCain has flip-flopped,” Chafee says. And forget all the “Country First” sloganeering, he adds. “McCain is putting himself first. He’s putting himself first in blinking neon lights.”

It is what it is: Obama allied with scoundrels
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton’s declaration that the answer to the question of whether he was having an affair depended on “what the definition of is is,” Sen. Barack Obama was clearly concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
The Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.
After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. His purpose was to “raise political consciousness” in schools.
After he won the grant, Ayers’ group chose Obama to distribute the $50 million, and the future senator raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’ admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize and politicize the students.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical agenda determined how much money it got.
Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, and his wife was imprisoned for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s car in which two police were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times [NYT], in September 2001, that he wished he “could have done more.” Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegal wiretaps. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to prison. His spiritual adviser was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job is former terrorist Ayers.
Not a good recommendation for a president.

Natasha, you and the Boston Globe got your facts wrong. What you just printed is lies. A man who committed such heinous acts would have spent years in jail. Ayers was never even convicted. Stop spewing what someone else wrote.

Ahaha..ha! The Boston Herald is lying about the “Messiah Obama”!!!!
I suggest that you write to The Boston Herald – not the Boston Globe (obviously you could not even get the newspaper correct) and tell them how you feel.
Typical Obama puppet… You have been brainwashed by the left-wing-liberal “24-hour-news-for-dummies-networks”!

In his first two years in the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama was back in his familiar role as member of the minority party. Republicans tightly controlled the U.S. Senate, and it was very difficult for any Democratic Senator to get a bill passed. During that time, Senator Obama sponsored 152 bills and resolutions, and cosponsored 427 more.
Senator Obama thus far has two bills which became law, that have his name on them. The Lugar-Obama bill which I’ve already discussed, expands efforts to destroy WMDs (e.g. in the former Soviet states). And the Coburn-Obama Transparency Act. The Transparency Act created a website managed by OMB for ensuring transparency of funds allocated to government agencies. It tracks all federal spending, and allows Google-type searches based on agency, types of funding, etc.
One of his first bills after being elected to the U.S. Senate was a proposal to increased Pell Grants, thereby fulfilling a campaign promise. Unfortunately, in the tightly controlled Republican Senate, this bill didn’t make it out of committee.
Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment in the U.S. Senate happened on January 18, 2007. That is when the Senate passed a major ethics/lobbying reform bill. (Senator Obama had voted against a prior ethics reform bill that he said wasn’t tough enough.) Newspapers give Senators Obama and Russ Feingold significant credit for insisting that this latest ethics bill included tough measures. Obama risked some political capital to get this bill passed. The bill bans gifts/meals from lobbyists; puts an end to subsidized corporate jets; requires full disclosure of earmarks (who are the earmarks for, and for what purpose); places restrictions on retiring members of Congress going immediately into lobbying; requires lobbyists to disclose bundling of contributions to Congress, candidates or committees. This was a HUGE victory for Senator Obama. It still needs to be reconciled with a House version of the bill, and then signed by the president.
Senator Democratic leader Harry Reid has designated Barack Obama as the Democrats’ point man on ethics, citing three reasons for his selection: whenever Obama walks into a room, everyone stops talking and listens to what he has to say; Obama is known for having unquestionable ethics and integrity; Obama’s expertise on ethics and campaign reform while in Springfield made him a leading expert on those same issues in the U.S. Senate. This last point can’t be emphasized enough. The fact that Obama mastered, and led the fight, on so many complex political issues in eight years in Springfield gave him a huge head start in addressing the same complex issues at the federal level.
Senator Obama has also sponsored the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007. It would cap troops at January 10, 2007 levels, begin withdrawal by May 1, 2007, and call for complete withdrawal of combat brigades by March 31 of 2008. Withdrawal would be postponed if Iraq meets certain benchmarks. This is consistent with the Iraq Study Group. (Solely from memory, I believe this study group was chaired by Lee Hamilton and James Baker III.) Bill Richardson wants complete withdrawal by end of 2007. Hillary Clinton has called for a phased withdrawal of troops starting in 90 days. John Edwards 40,000-50,000 troops withdrawn immediately, and the remainder withdrawn within 12-18 months.
Senator Obama also has experience and judgment on foreign policy. He is on the senate committees for foreign relations; homeland security; veterans affairs; health, education, labor and pensions. He studied political science with an emphasis on international relations and Columbia. And he’s gone on three major trips overseas as part of an official Senate delegation, meeting with U.S. generals, and/or foreign leaders. He and Senator Lugar travelled to the former Soviet states to inspect the destruction of WMDs; he traveled to Iraq and met with U.S. generals, and also toured Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Palestinian territories (he told Palestinian Authority President MahMoud Abbas that US would never recognize Hamas leaders until they renounced mission to eliminate Israel.); he visited various African countries, including Kenya (his father’s homeland), and publicly took an AIDS test to show people in Africa that it was ok and even socially responsible to have an AIDS test.
He has backed various plans for lessening reliance on Middle East oil. He has offered the big three domestic automakers a deal: the federal government pays 10% of health care costs of their retired employees, if the automakers will commit to building more fuel efficient cars. He has also called for increased fuel efficiency standards (3 percent every year for 15 years). He’s encouraged use of ethnanol as an alternative fuel

Having researched this — It seems there is NO LAW compelling candidates to release medical information. Arguments are made both for and against this topic — Eisenhowers should have died based on statistical predictions derived from his medical records but didn’t. Tsongas was in remission from cancer when he ran — and went out of remission when he stopped running. God knows how many President’s in addition to Nixon suffer from depression and anxiety — that changes day to day is more likely than not — situational — by the event — Kennedy popped pain pills for his back — hmm let’s see — McCain has/had skin cancer — treated — — let’s not forget age is irrelevant — as Senator John Glenn went up on the space shuttle at age 80. Obama smokes cigarettes – -claims he quit — but bums theme off of everyone on his campaign — that would characterize him as an addict –how would he be in a long meeting without his cigarettes? Or under stress w/out his cigarettes?
Biden had an aneurism and is better.
Palin had a child at age 44 — shops at consignment shops and has a bunch of republican advisors who spend too much on clothes and a bunch of other advisors who are annoyed she’s not taking their advice — and a bunch of media types speculating on whether or not she should have a talk show —
What else do we need to know? I don’t think we need to know anything more –
Chaney has had non-stop heart issues in office.
Positive reinforcement for being your best — stops the stress induced by the press — relative to the question — are you going to die in office. think the public has moral obligation to look for good……. . My physicians said the best way to stay healthy was to avoid medical statistical analyses predicting longevity. I agree. MYOB

Al Qaeda-Linked Web Site Backs McCain for President
Terror group supporters seek ‘big operation’ against U.S. to ‘push Americans deliberately to vote for McCain’
“This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier,” the message said. “Then, Al Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.”

The Obama-Ayers Coverup [Update]
Will the media ask questions about the Obama-Ayers relationship and its beginnings before 1995, when Ayers helped arranged the hiring of Obama as head of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and maintained a close relationship of its board for years?
Here are some questions the media should be asking and did not ask throughout the long primary season, abdicating its responsibility. Imagine what would have happened if the media had fully vetted Obama and practiced journalism as they should have done.
1.When did Barack Obama first meet Bill Ayers? Was it in New York City? Under what circumstances? Was it at Cooper Union when Ayers was a graduate student there and Obama at Columbia? Was it at Columbia when Ayers was at the teachers’ college?
2.Did Ayers play any role in Obama coming to Chicago as an organizer in 1985? Did the Ayers influence the Woods Fund in any way to subsidize through the Gamaliel Foundation Obama’s job? (The Woods Fund was created by the family of the Safari Coal Company, a major supplier of Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO was Thomas Ayers.)
3.Did Ayers introduce Obama the organizer to his family, his father Tom and brother John? Did they involve Obama in the school reform movement they led in Chicago?
4.Did the Ayers family help Obama become a summer associate at Sidley Austen, the father’s company’s law firm?
5.Did Bernardine Dohrn know Michelle Robinson when they both worked at Sidley at the same time? Did she or Ayers introduce Michelle to Barack at Sidley?
6.Did Dohrn, who attended the University of Chicago Law School with Judson Miner, play any part in helping Obama get a job at the Davis Miner law firm?
UPDATE: It was 40 years ago today that William Ayers was arrested at the Democratic national convention — just like the “Recreate68″ extreme-left protestors at this convention:
It was forty years ago today that Barack Obama friend and political ally, and unrepentant terrorists, William Ayers was arrested while protesting the DNC proceedings. William Ayers set no bombs that day, but he was only working his way up from petty criminal to domestic terrorist. And of course this was long before Barack Obama and he struck up the friendship that would lead Ayers to launch Obama’s political career at his house.
Still, the McCain campaign would take this opportunity to remind voters that those responsible for the violence in 1968 have since been incorporated into the party they once protested, and have been revered even by the likes of Barack Obama, and this despite the failure, in the case of Ayers, to ever apologize for the violence he committed against the American people. (Read all)
The media had better start asking these questions, and demanding answers.

How convenient, hah?! You want to get Palin or Cindy, or McCain to shut up so to avoid taking the mask off the real Obama? Get real!…
YOU, left wing liberal Morons have spent weeks on personal attacks against Palin and now all of a sudden you are becoming “testy” because we are determined to get American voters to learn about the “Real Obama” and his “sweet deals” with convicted terrorists, drug dealers, and a lunatic anti-American Marxist pastor of his for 20+ years!
The real tragedy will be to elect Barack Hussein Obama President. The real tragedy will be to elect someone who refuses to place his hand over his heart during our National Anthem and refuses to wear the American flag. But off course, what do you expect from an Un-American, Non-patriot, MARXIST Barack Hussein Obama, who launched his campaign in the livingroom of convicted terrorist Ayers …
I guess this is what community organizing was all about for Mr. Barack Hussein Obama! He was “organizing the community” spreading his Marxist ideas around in perfect harmony with terorists and other criminal elements of the Chicago underground!
Oh, I know…he speaks well!

Neither Liberal Media nor Obama care to talk about it and they just ignored it.They dont want to repeat the mistake Mcain did going NEGATIVE .Obama is smart and bright and he is closing on in this elections big time.Republicans have no chance winning this election.All they can do is continue to throw things at him and see if something sticks.

Obama is running for President – not Palin – and yes, we will keep on bringing up his character flaws and his poor judgement. And, please do not try to use the economy as being an issue above character and judgement to avoid Obama being unmasked.
We need a President with both “strong character” and “excellent judgement” to fix the freaking economy – not someone wjo launched his career in the livingroom of a terrorist – a MARXIST “community organizer” – organizing the underground criminals of Chicago – that is what “That One” was doing before running to be our Commander in Chief.
Wake Up America – Take the darn blindfolds that the media partisan Morons have forced upon you for a long long time. The truth about Obama must be told – even if the left wing liberals are having a coniption about it and divert from this serious issue using the economy as an excuse. Enough is enough….

NO senate records
NO vault birth certificate
He wouldn’t even qualify to be his own secret service detail. 0BAMA IS DANGEROUS.
IF HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE WHY DOES THE LAWSUIT FOR HIM TO SHOW HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO ANY COURT NEED TO GO TO THE SUPREME COURT?

Americans of Albanian heritage collected a million dollars in one evening for the presidential campaign of Republican Senator John McCain, said the Albanian American Civic League yesterday, the lobby group headed by former Congressman Joe DioGuardi. A reception for McCain was held January 22 at the Saint Regis Hotel in Manhatten, and the senator, who is now leading in the runoff for the Republican party candidacy in the November elections, cut his campaign in Florida by one day to attend this gathering.
“Even in 1998 when we had problems with Milosevic, McCain did everything that we asked of him to the benefit of the Albanian people, including arming the KLA”, announced DioGuardi. “We are American Albanians and we need a leader who will strengthen this country… We must support John McCain because he did everything we asked of him for Kosovo, from supporting the Kosovo Liberation Army to supporting the independence of Kosovo. Two years ago he spoke in Brussels and said that independence is the only solution”, concluded this former congressman who has been fighting for the independence of Kosovo and Metohija for more than twenty years.
And just who are the KLA that McCain is so fond of-
“The KLA – The Kosovo Liberation Army – is an Islamic terrorist group responsible for beheadings, torture, rape, burning down churches filled with Christians, and other atrocities. To this day, the KLA insurgency continues the systematic persecution and genocidal cleansing of Serbian civilians residing in Albania. The former leaders, enjoying life as high paid politicians in the Albania Government, are unapologetic for the crimes committed.”
McCain continues to support the KLA to this very day.

alterednation99,
Liberal tidal wave? And what is the country as we know it? We’ve farmed out our resources for 60 years, leaving us as we are. No industry thus no jobs to support and grow families. It’s all gone and we have to have the strong will to build it from the ground up again. That will not happen under the puppet strings of the wealthy elite. I don’t think four years with Obama/Biden in the white house seat will fix it all in that time although they will at least stop us from getting in deeper trouble. The “liberal” tag by the way is a complete fabrication by the republican cronies. Democrat and liberal are two very different terms, we are pressed to believe otherwise so as to further their rotten cause. It’s far past time to get back to the basics and cut the crap. We need our country back, our livelihood! WE CAN DO THIS. Let’s get started.

Sarah Palin is a phony liar and an “airhead” who had to go to 4 different colleges and who took 5 years to get a simple bs degree that she hardly used. I think she is stalling about her medical records because then we will discover she only had 4 pregnancies not 5, or better yet, that she had a tubal and couldn’t be Trig’s Mom because her daughter is! I read an article that said her co-workers were shocked when she announced she was 7 months pregnant last spring. They couldn’t believe she was because she didn’t look pregnant at all the whole time she said she was! In the meantime, her daughter was mysteriously missing from school for 5 months up to the time Sara supposedly had the baby. . . why?
because her daughter was the one who really had the baby! You look at that little boy, he looks just like her daughter not her! I believe she lied about the whole thing so people wouldn’t think she was a bad Mom not to “save face” for her 16 yr. old daughter! She’s as phony as they come and she has no experience at the federal level but yet says in speeches that she has more experience than Barack Obama, who has been a U.S. senator for 3 years not 300 days as she would have us believe! She and McCain are both blatant liars and would bring the country to ruin if elected. She is also a “spendthift” and I heard Alaska’s budget has gone to hell since she has been governor and now she’s spending $150,000 for her campaign wardrobe that could have been better used for more TV ads instead.
Oh well, in 9 days they are gonna be losers anyway, so he can go back to “paling around with his old buddy, George and she can go back to Alaska and build more bridges to nowhere and run Alaska’s budget into the ground, and look at Russia from her house!

i cannot believe i have been wasting my time reading these tidbits posted here while the world series is on my television set. the reason there are no more journalists doing the job of finding out the “real facts” (DO YOUR RESEARCH, that line has been worn out here), is because nobody reads the newspaper anymore. they are all posting mispelled, grammatically incorrect minutia and or blatant heresay ONLINE 24/7 on BLOGS and forums like these. i am ashamed to call myself an American when i read this crap. it doesn’t matter who wins the election….the USA is in such deep trouble i doubt any President elect could fix it. i begin praying for Jesus’ second coming after i destroy my laptop!

This is what I do know about Sarah Palin ….
The Alaskan EarMarks Queen, of the Frozen Tundra.
She has no [Executive Experience]
Her greatest contribution to Wasilla is the Hockey Rink she had erected and she Built the Hockey Rink before purchasing the land to build the road that leads to the Hockey Rink, she built the road on land, she Did Not purchase and now those same landowners whose land was used to lead to the Hockey Rink, now have her A!! in litigation….
Big Note: For using the Land Owners land Without Purchasing the Land First !!
The Town of Wasilla, population 9,000 or Less, was only 1 Million Dollar in Debt, when Palin took Office, When Palin left her office as Mayor of Wasilla, she left the Town of Wasilla with a 20-25 Million Dollars in DEBT !!!
Sounds like Bush-Cheney in a Dress, she’s like Bush in this regard….
She’s like Bush entering office with Less Debt and leaving office in Greater Debt than Before !!!
She’s like Cheney when it comes to the [Hunting]…
America will not allow her the Chance or Witness another Cheney Hunting Incident, in the Body of Sarah Palin .
Todd Palin was an is Sarah Palin’s Shadow Mayor and now Shadow Governor, with the Paper Trail to prove it too.
Plain Lied about her turning down that Ketchikan “Bridge To Nowhere”
She sure as hell, Never Returned the EarMarks Millions given for the Project, an used the Millions for other Projects.
If she turned the Project Down, why did’nt she Return the Funding [EarMark Millions]
Her Gas-Oil Pipeline, via a Canadian Gas-Oil Company, she claimed had been started in Alaska, during the GOP Convention, was a LIE and it Does Not Exist and is now in Litigation as I peck away !!!
The Native Canadian Indians are also taking the Canadian Gas-Oil Company, Palin is using, are beig Dragged into court, based on these Native Canadian Indians taking them to court, because they REFUSE to have their Land used in this Gas-oil Venture.
Palin is not a Feminist at all, based on her Husband Controling her Mayoral and Governorship. A feminist will stand on her own an not allow her Husband to Involve himself in her Business and on her Business Affairs.
Palin and her Husband are AIP members and have their own Agenda’s
She has No National or International Experience, she’s not well read or Educated and these are just a few facts about Sarah Palin, The EarMarks Queen of the Frozen Tundra.
Troopergate Proves that McCain Gambled on this Wildcard Alaskan and like most [Maverick's]…
McCain’s A!! is feeling the Pain of Sarah Palin and he Deserves Every Bit of Grief he’s recieving.
He Gambled with the American People and you don’t Gamble with America when it comes to the Economy An especially International and National Affiars, by presenting a Good Looking, Political Novice like Sarah Palin.

McCain’s Top Financial Adv. Says [He Will Raise Your Taxes]
http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/the_mccain_tax_increasescontin.html
McCain Top Economic Adviser: [McCain Will Raise Taxes] …Fact !!!
“Whether you’re a Republican, Democrat President or a Martian, Taxes will be Raised”
Though Mccain has said Throughout his campaign
“I will Not, Raise Your Taxes”
His Top Economic Adviser says that a LIE….
Obama will Raise Taxes on those that make More than 250,000…
The 250,000 per year and Under, will have a Tax Break and Tax Cut.
——————————————
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and current chief McCain economic advisor, is an honest man–which means he’s something of a liability on the Straight Talk Express. A few months ago, he admitted to my colleague, Michael Scherer, that Barack Obama’s economic plan would reduce taxes for most people.
And now, in a forthcoming book by Fortune columnist Matt Miller, he makes it clear that the next President is going to have to raise taxes.
“If you do nothing on the spending side, you’re going to have to RAISE TAXES whether you’re a Republican, a Democrat or a Martian,” he tells Miller…and then he immediately makes it clear that the “spending side” part of the argument is nothing more than a ……………
“POLITICAL FIG LEAF”.
——————————————————–
YOU REPUBLICANS ARE SUCH GULLIBLE FOOLS…MCCAIN WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES…PERIOD
TAXES WILL BE RAISED…PERIOD…
2 WARS AT THE COST OF BILLIONS, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, RECORD HIGH FORECLOSURE RATES, THE BIGGEST WALLSTREET BAILOUT EVER, INFLATION, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, OVER POPULATION, ALL LEAD TO MORE [TAXATION] !!!
THE SPENDING END IS A ..BIG JOKE !!
SIMPLE, DAMN !!!
——————————–
PS: THE GOVERNMENT’S 2 WARS ARE NOT FINANCED BY THE USA, BUT BY STILL VERY ….
[COMMUNIST SOCIALIST- RED CHINA] !!!
QUESTION: IS PRESIDENT BUSH A [SOCIALIST COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZER] ?
BECAUSE IF WE ARE THIS TRULY SELF SUFFICIENT, A TRUE WORLD POWER….
WHY ARE WE NOT FINANCING OUR 2 WARS, OURSESELVES, WITH OUR OWN MONEY ?
THAT IS WHAT [INDEPENDENT COUNTRIES] DO …
OR WHY ARE WE NOT BORROWING MONEY FROM OUR ALLIED NATIONS, OPPOSED TO A STILL VERY ….
[COMMUNIST-SOCIALIST COUNTRY] LIKE [RED CHINA] ….HMMM

WOULD’NT THAT MAKE THE US GOVERNMENT [SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST] ALSO…
AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION [SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST] AS WELL…
THIS [SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST] ACT MUST BE A TITLE OR TAG OF CONVENIENCE OR IS INTERCHANGEABLE, DEPENDING ON WHOSE USING IT TO HIS OR HER NATION’S ADVANTAGE OR DISADVANTAGE….

The Chicago Tribune
Editorial
Problems with endorsing Obama
October 21, 2008
My, my. In their dumbfounding endorsement of Barack Obama, it seems to me that members of the Tribune’s editorial board must not have first read some pages in their own paper. Obama’s negatives have been cited ad nauseam, so I won’t repeat all of them. But there are some downsides in his candidacy that were not addressed in the unpersuasive endorsement statement, and they are a big deal to me. They include:
• The senator is a radical socialist with stated preferences for the Marxist notion of redistributing the wealth. Does the editorial board want the U.S. to morph into the socialist model of a dying Europe? Does it want our culture destroyed?
• With the likely veto-proof Democrat majority in Congress, a President Obama will have the opportunity to name justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Is it the desire of the editorial board to have a leftist majority on that bench to creatively rewrite the Constitution and restructure society without regard to what citizens may think?
• Much closer to home, the editorial board has observed the wonderful things that happen in Illinois when one party controls Chicago, Cook County and the state. Does the editorial board want the entire nation governed as miserably as is Illinois with Democrats controlling the White House, Congress and the judiciary?
I don’t advocate any of these destructive directions for our country.

The Washington Post
Obama’s Iffy Numbers On McCain Health Plan
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
“How would your golden years turn out under John McCain? His health-care plan would cut Medicare by $800 billion. That means a 22 percent cut in benefits. Higher premiums and co-pays. More expensive prescription drugs. Nursing home care could suffer. . . . After a lifetime of work, seniors’ health care shouldn’t be a gamble. John McCain’s plan? It’s not the change we need.”
– Obama campaign’s “Your Golden Years” ad
Barack Obama has been telling seniors that their hard-won Medicare benefits are at risk if his rival wins the election. The message has been hammered home in a series of speeches and television ads, including the one shown above, set against a backdrop of spinning lottery balls. Is it true, as the Democratic senator asserts, that his Republican opponent is planning to “gamble” with Medicare benefits?
THE FACTS
The Obama claim rests primarily on a Wall Street Journal interview with McCain’s top economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, that was published Oct. 6. Holtz-Eakin told the Journal that McCain would pay for his health plan “in part” by looking for “savings” in Medicare and Medicaid. He was vague about where the savings would come from, other than talking about the need to cut fraud and waste in the programs.
“It’s about giving [Medicare and Medicaid recipients] the benefit package that has been promised to them by law at lower cost,” Holtz-Eakin told the newspaper.
In other words, contrary to the claim in the Obama ad, the McCain campaign was specifically promising not to “cut benefits” but to provide the promised benefits at a lower cost. The Obama ad misleadingly cites the Wall Street Journal interview as the source for the alarming “22 percent cut in benefits.”
How did the Obama campaign come up with the claim of an $800 billion cut in Medicare (described in another Obama ad as an $882 billion cut)? Answer: some back-of-the-envelope calculations by a liberal think tank, the Center for American Progress.
The think tank bases its findings on the assumption that McCain will need to save around $1.3 trillion over 10 years to pay for his health-care plan. (This is based on an analysis by the independent Tax Policy Center that has not been challenged by the McCain campaign.) The senator from Arizona has promised to give Americans a $2,500 refundable tax credit to be spent on health care in exchange for taxing the health benefits they receive from their employers.
It may be that McCain is wildly optimistic in believing that he can find sufficient savings in Medicare and Medicaid to pay for his promised refundable health-care tax credit. But such a criticism also applies to Obama, who is relying on similar cost cuts to fund his health-care plan. The senator from Illinois says that a shift to electronic health records will generate savings of around $120 billion a year, a claim termed “wishful thinking” by many independent experts.
THE PINOCCHIO TEST
John McCain has not provided a convincing explanation for how he will fund his health-care plan. But it is a huge stretch for the Obama campaign to argue that the McCain plan will inevitably result in an $800 billion (or $880 billion) cut in Medicare programs over 10 years, or a “22 percent cut” in benefits paid to American seniors. McCain’s top economic adviser has specifically promised not to cut benefits.
THREE PINOCCHIOS: Significant factual errors.

Ayers didn’t spend time in jail because of technicality——–they thru out the wiretapes of him stating he had done it. In fact, Ayers is very proud of his terrorism, still brags about it, and says he didn’t do enough. He also said that he was “Guilty as hell, Free as a Bird. America is Great.” And Obama choses to hang around this guy, and have his children around this guy? Obama is incapable of making good decisions.

It is what it is: Obama allied with scoundrels
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton’s declaration that the answer to the question of whether he was having an affair depended on “what the definition of is is,” Sen. Barack Obama was clearly concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
The Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.
After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. His purpose was to “raise political consciousness” in schools.
After he won the grant, Ayers’ group chose Obama to distribute the $50 million, and the future senator raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’ admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize and politicize the students.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical agenda determined how much money it got.
Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, and his wife was imprisoned for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s car in which two police were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times [NYT], in September 2001, that he wished he “could have done more.” Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegal wiretaps. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to prison. His spiritual adviser was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job is former terrorist Ayers.
Not a good recommendation for a president.

The McCain campaign, and his supporters, continue to lie about Obama. First they said he supported sex education in kindergartens, when the truth is that he supported teaching kids about sexual predators. Now they are claiming he is, or was, a socialist, when the truth is that he supported, and supports, free speech a rational society in which the poor are not taken advantage of by the wealthy. Remember that the minimum wage was only raised after the Democrats gained a slim majority in Congress. That is the kind of reform that Obama supports.
And even George Will is quick to say that taxation always involves a redistribution of wealth: people in Alabama pay federal taxes that go to build roads in Alaska; people. People who never fly pay taxes that support the federal air marshals. Wealthy New Yorkers pay taxes that support federal aid to rural schools. Poor people pay taxes that go to support federal highways to the Hamptons.

Hi,
My name is typical right-wing, Republican a-hole. My party is currently engaged in a civil war that will likely lead our “base” towards fascism. I’m working on growing my little Hitler mustache right now. Everyone who doesn’t agree with me is an elite.
I keep saying that Obama never released his birth certificate, even though the LA Times, WA Post, NYT, and hundreds of websites have posted and certified a copy of it and the rumor saying Obama is not a citizen has been brutally debunked.
I keep saying that Obama only released one page opf health records even though that one page was a summary of the dozens and dozens of records, lab results, etc that followed. I ignore the fact that Obama has so few records because he’;s never had a major health problem.
I hate black people. And Jews (though I pretend to love them so we can use their army to invade the Middle East and invite the Rapture). I believe that we should govern based on the Bible, even though I selectively choose which parts of the Bible I want to use. I like to focus on the vague, questionable, single-line in the “good book” that I interpret as God’s condemnation against homosexuality. Therefore, I blame homosexuals for everything wrong with society (mostly out of a tortured form of masochistic guilt for my own homosexual tendencies). I conveniently ignore the thousands of parts in the Bible that says we should promote peace and treat all others with respect and dignity. That kinda junk is for anti-American, elitist, media, liberal bias, God-hating, limp-wristed, intellectual-type, pansy, non-regular, far-left, crazy, zealot, terrorist loving, commie, socialist, ding dongs. Everyone knows life began when a snake in a tree told a naked guy not to eat an apple, then there was 3000 years of incest, then there was a blight and a guy that lived to 900 years old rounded up two of every single one of the more than 6 million+ KNOWN species of organism (let’s ignore the fact that we know of less than 60% of sea species and less than 80% of insect species on this planet–yet somehow one dude was able to wrangle them all up in a time when the literate world didn’t even know of the existence of most of the world’s land boundaries). Clearly, I’m the sane one and the rest of you thinking-types are nutjobs.
Signed,
A. Hole
P.S. The liberal elite media with their liberal elite Jewish censorship will probably not post this. They also want to take away my guns. They need to come down here and get a taste of real America. Deliverance-style. YeeHAAAAWWW!

The Wall Street Journal
Obama’s Tax Plan Is Really a Welfare Plan
Barack Obama’s tax plan is the opposite of supply-side economics. He proposes to raise marginal rates for just about every federal tax. He also proposes a raft of tax credits that taxpayers can receive if they engage in various government-specified activities.
Moreover, the tax credits would mostly go to those who pay little or nothing in federal income taxes. His trick is to make the tax credits “refundable.” Thus, if the tax credit is for $1,000, but the taxpayer would otherwise only pay $200 in taxes, the government would write a check to the taxpayer for $800. If the taxpayer pays nothing in federal income taxes, the government would pay him the whole $1,000.
Such credits are not tax cuts. Indeed, they should be called The New Tax Welfare. In effect, Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand a slew of government spending programs that are disguised as tax credits. The spending on these programs is then subtracted from the total tax burden, in order to make the claim that his tax plan is a net tax cut overall.
On the tax side of the ledger, the details released by his campaign last week confirm what a President Obama has in mind for our most productive citizens. The top individual income tax rate, for example, would be increased by 13%, to 39.6%; the next-highest rate would be raised to 36%. The top rates on capital gains and dividends would rise by a third, to 20%
The Social Security payroll tax would be raised between 16% to 32% for families making over $250,000 a year. This means that the real returns these people get from their lifetime payments into the retirement program will be driven below 0%, according to my own previous research, which was published by the Cato Institute and elsewhere.
Mr. Obama also wants a permanent federal estate tax, with a top rate of 45%; his health-insurance plan includes a new payroll tax on employers; and he also contemplates several increases in the corporate income tax, including a new so-called windfall profits tax on oil companies.
Then there is the spending side of the ledger. Mr. Obama proposes a fully refundable Making Work Pay Tax Credit, which would have the government pay out $500 to each worker and $1,000 to couples — reminiscent of George McGovern’s 1972 election proposal for the government to send a $1,000 check to everyone.
His American Opportunity Tax Credit would provide a $4,000, fully refundable tax credit for college tuition expenses. His Mortgage Interest Tax Credit would provide a 10% credit — refundable — to offset mortgage interest payments for lower- and middle-income families. His Health Care Tax Credits, which the campaign says “will ensure that health insurance is available and affordable for all families,” include “a new refundable 50 percent health tax credit on employee premiums paid by employers.”
Currently existing tax credits would also become spending programs in the Obama tax program. The Savers Credit would be made fully refundable, and would be expanded, according to the campaign, “to match 50% of the first $1,000 of savings for families that earn under $75,000.” The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit would be made refundable and expanded to allow “low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit on the first $6,000 of child care expenses.”
The Earned Income Tax Credit is already refundable. Mr. Obama would expand it to “increase the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increase the benefits available to noncustodial parents who fulfill their child support obligations, increase benefits for families with three or more children, and reduce the EITC marriage penalty, which hurts low-income families.” In short, welfare spending is to be increased by paying more money out to low-income income tax filers.
The latest Congressional Budget Office data shows the bottom 40% of income earners already pays no income taxes. Indeed, they receive a net payment from the federal income tax system — meaning from the taxpayers — equal to 3.8% of all federal income taxes, because of the refundable tax credits under current law. The middle 20% of income earners, the true middle class, pays 4.4% of federal income taxes.
Overall, the bottom 60% of income earners pay less than 1% of federal income taxes on net. When “tax credits” primarily go to this group in the form of checks from the government (rather than a reduction in their tax burden) it is simply an abuse of the language to call the spending a tax cut.
Consequently, to say, as the campaign does say, that the candidate’s tax plan is a tax cut on net — and that it would limit taxes to 18.2% of GDP — is grossly misleading. The Obama tax plan would sharply increase real taxes. It also would come nowhere near to paying for the massive increases in federal spending he has proposed, including the spending that is disguised in the form of refundable tax credits.

4 Key Factors for the Desrtuction of Palin in Politics……
1. Sarah & Todd Palin
2. Sen. Ted Stephenson
3. Convicted Lobbyist: Jack Abramhoff
If Ted Stephenson is Convicted as has been Lobbyist, Jack Abramhoff…
Look for Sarah and Todd Palin to be Implicated as well.
Thats why Sarah Palin has had NOTHING to say, one way or the other, regarding Ted Stephenson.
She had better not say anything Disparaging about Stephenson or Abramhoff, or they could be her After Election …Surprise !!!!!!
I believe Ted Stepheson will be Convicted as was his Lobbyist Buddy, Jack Abramhoff

Has anyone else noticed that Palin has even turned on McCain himself?
Here is something that no one has mentioned yet. McCain wins election, and then dies of “mysterious” circumstances weeks after he is elected.
Palin, the power hungry right wing wacko takes over as President and immediately bombs Pakistan, Iran, and Palestine at the same time. Orders “You Betcha!” be painted on each bomb and missle.
The economy sinks and we go into another Depression. Unemplyment hits 50%. Having no idea how the economy works, Palin decides to drill everywhere and tries to sell the oil as an export. Due to her poor foreign policy, no country will do business with the US any longer.
To stimulate the economy, Palin gives a tax break to anyone that shops at Neiman Markus.
Palin, upset about the Pope having a higher approval rating than she does, demands that all religions are not allowed to meet in churches unless the switch to her religion. Many take to the streets and riot.
Palin puts a bounty on all models that are prettier than she is. $150 for the foot of any model. Puts in a law that all models can be shot from helicopters.
Ok, ok…maybe I getting a little carried away…or maybe not.

Natasha and all you Republicans. I have a question for you.
IF Senator Obama wins, are you going to be unpatriotic and continue to try to spread this drivel, or will listen to the Commander and Chief, the President of the United States, and do your best to heal this country?
Just curious…

Will the neo-communists censor the Net?
Anybody who is listening or reading knows that a President Barack Obama would yank America toward socialism by the largest margin since FDR’s New Deal. Thanks to Joe the plumber, we know Obama wants to redistribute wealth, spread it around like it belongs to the government instead of the people who earned it.
Draconian tax increases are just the tip of the socialistic agenda Obama has waiting for us. Obama’s cheerleaders, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other leftists, plan an all-out assault on the First Amendment. Sadly, that doesn’t mean that they’re going to cease the unending gaseous gaffes. Instead, it means they want to go back to pre-Ronald Reagan days when the government controlled what was said on radio and TV.
The Democrats, as they did in 1934 prompted by FDR, want to re-enact the Fairness Doctrine, which has nothing to do with fairness in communication. This doctrine simply allows the government to decide whose speech is free and whose isn’t. It forced broadcasters to give equal time to what the government deemed were opposing views.
President Ronald Reagan saw the evil behind the Fairness Doctrine and vetoed a bill in 1987 that would have made it law. The bellyaching from the far left has persisted since then, especially since my friend Rush Limbaugh saved AM radio with his style of talk radio. Thin-skinned liberals can’t take Rush’s straight talk, so they want to shut him down. That’s why some call the latest push for the doctrine the Hush Rush law.
I know this sounds like something from Nazi Germany or Castro’s Cuba, but it’s already in the hopper. New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman let the cat out of the bag about the left’s plans to silence its dissenters, according to Brian Maloney of Radio Equalizer.
“With the possibility of a Democratic Party supermajority after the upcoming elections, Jeff Bingaman may soon get his wish to quash dissenting viewpoints,” Maloney reports. ”During an interview with KKOB Albuquerque host Jim Villanucci, Bingaman overtly stated his full support for imposing Fairness Doctrine restrictions on free speech which would effectively shut down talk radio as we know it today.”
If the leftists succeed under the nightmare scenario with Obama in the White House, this time it won’t just be about radio and TV, but could include content on the Internet. You got it – the jackbooted thugs from the left will monitor what you and I write on the Web and let us have it if they don’t think it’s “fair.”
Jeff Poor of NewsBusters wrote about this scary socialistic scheme, reporting that FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell ventured that the feds under the governmental Democratic trifecta (presidency and both houses of Congress) could thrust itself into regulating speech on the Internet.
“He told the Business & Media Institute there’s a possibility the next Congress and administration might attempt to package the renewal of the Fairness Doctrine with Net neutrality regulation,” Poor wrote.
“‘I think the fear is that somehow large corporations will censor their content, their points of view,’ McDowell said, suggesting some conservatives might support Net neutrality legislation based on corporate censorship fears. ‘I think the bigger concern for them should be if you have government dictating content policy, which by the way would have a big First Amendment problem.
“‘Then, whoever is in charge of government is going to determine what is fair, under a so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” which won’t be called that – it’ll be called something else,’ McDowell said. ‘So, will websites, will bloggers have to give equal time or equal space on their website to opposing views rather than letting the marketplace of ideas determine that?’”
The Democrats, who look more and more like neo-communists, should tread lightly here. I don’t just say that because I’ve made my living on talk radio. This is truly a First Amendment issue, so Pelosi and the rest of her minions better break out that Constitution they swore to protect and read up.
The Supreme Court did rule in an earlier day that the previous incarnation of the Fairness Doctrine was constitutional. But the Supreme Court concluded in another case that the doctrine “inescapably dampens the vigor and limits the variety of public debate (Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo, 418 U.S. 241),” according to an article at the Heritage Foundation.
Obama and the Democrats’ new deal is a bad deal for every American who believes in the Constitution and the First Amendment. It is a dangerous step to the left that will stifle free expression and, ultimately, democracy.

Palin has said that her life is an open book. Of course there will be the good, the bad and the ugly. At lease we know that she’s real and not a fraud like Obama.
————————————-
Obama’s Birth Certificate – Still Missing
(http://www.rightsidenews.com/200810262351/editorial/obama-s-birth-certificate-still-missing.html)
Last week, during the crucial waning days of the presidential campaign, Obama left for Hawaii to visit his 85-year-old grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who had broken her hip. In such bad shape was she – in spite of the hospital’s sending her home to heal – that Obama told ABC’s Robin Roberts, that “I’m still not sure whether she makes it to Election Day.”
Filling in for Obama on the campaign trail in Ohio was his wife, Michelle, who told the crowd that granny was doing just fine.
Did Obama have a dual purpose in traveling to Hawaii, the other being to magically produce the birth certificate proving his eligibility to be president? While he’s now back on the campaign trail, he has still failed to produce said certificate!
After a recent article I wrote, My Mother’s Birth Certicate – And Obama’s, a number of people e-mailed me with FactCheck.org’s “proof” of the certificate. But let’s not forget that FactCheck is owned by the Annenberg Foundation, the same foundation that gave millions of dollars to Obama and his unrepentant terrorist pal William Ayers for an “education” project. To me, that makes FactCheck ipso facto the least credible source of factual information.
Infinitely more credible is the research done by, among others, Pennsylvania attorney
Philip J. Berg (ObamaCrimes), Chicago journalist Andy Martin, ContrarianCommentaryBlog and author Jerome Corsi (The Obama Nation), who have cast persuasive, data-provided doubt not only that the birth certificate(s) so far produced were blatant forgeries, but that Obama – and his leftwing media lapdogs – have been concealing the fact that he was born in a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, a birth his Kenyan grandmother is on record saying she and Obama’s half-brother and half-sister attended.
What else has Obama failed to provide to a public – and an electorate – that deserves to know everything possible about a presidential candidate?
Occidental College records – not released.
Columbia Thesis paper – not available, locked down by faculty.
Harvard College records – not released, locked down by faculty.
Selective Service Registration – not released.
Medical records – not released (only a one-page report).
Illinois State Senate schedule – ‘not available.’
Law practice client list – not released.
Certified Copy of original Birth certificate – not released.
Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth – not released.
Harvard Law Review articles published – None.
University of Chicago scholarly articles – None.
Record of Baptism– Not released or ‘not available.’
Illinois State Senate records–’not available.’
No wonder Obama’s critics have called him a Manuchurian Candidate, a Trojan Horse, and a stealth candidate! If he has nothing to hide, why on earth is he still be refusing to come clean with the American people? Answer: he clearly has a lot to hide.

“Palin has said that her life is an open book. Of course there will be the good, the bad and the ugly. At lease we know that she’s real and not a fraud like Obama.”
An open book? Apparently you havent read one article on her time in office as mayor or governer. Using personal email accounts for state business. Firing qualified personnel to hire friends from school.
No medical records yet. Very open book.

Medical records are always up-to-date. With a computer, they can be printed in 60 seconds. Why is it taking weeks for Palins to be released? There will be a slight delay and her records will be released November 5, after the election results.

McCain’s history was long because of his cancer, but Sanjay Guptah and other doctors we given an hour to go over his history and found lots of missing information. Obama’s was short because he’s not going to the doctor for deliveries or cancer.
Sarah’s will not be complete either (her doctor no longer works for Matsu Hospital and is now working for Sarah, that’s strange in itself, so I’m sure someone will omit, change and add information to make it appear she is a hokey mom and bi-polar. LOL.

Are we going to get a chance to see Obama’s health record discussing his cocaine use? He is, you know, running for President. Can we expect a report from this on ABCNews or what? Are you equally if not more concerned about the person running for President then you are the Vice President or are the “Day Three…Still Haven’t Got the Medical Records Yet” headlines only for the Republican candidates? Why isn’t the media scrutinizing the Democratic ticket and their health records?

Imagine that, asking a tough question of the Obama campaign–HOW DARE THEY! Meanwhile, instead of mentioning it, ABC and other news hounds are concerned about Palin’s medical history? C’mon, get a life and cover the real issues. Obama’s quoted on Drudge Report talking “redistribution of wealth” again. So, he wants to take from the rich, give to the poor, and silence those who oppose them. Perhaps he should be known as Barak Hussein Lenin Obama! Oh wait, WE CAN’T SAY HIS REAL MIDDLE NAME!

In fact, I am sure the media should be taking notes and learning from the muck cracking blogger journalists!
Thank God these keyboard warriors took the time to open up my eyes about Obama!
You, know what? I’d vote for Obama if he was a crack whore down on his/her luck in the Bowery! I don’t care if he’s Black, Gay, Socialist, Muslim or unAmerican!!!
I mean, when compared to the level of retardation the average Republican is displaying here (especially), on the campaign and in general, I’d vote for Obama if he was a Communist Gay Chinese Hooker with AIDS!!!
Let’s face it, Republicans currently represent all that sucks in America (and the world)!
Excepting Palin of course. For without her, Obama would have had to struggle just that much more to be elected president. Sarah, with her retarded ways, made it all the easier.
Thanks idiots!

Oh let’s see, Palin has delayed on many other things so what’s new. Denies troopergate, husband belonged to group that wanted Alaska to secede from the US Sarah spoke at this group – question??? If there’s nothing to hide, why the delay on medical records, or letter from her doctor.
Everyone jumps Obama for past associations, including when he was 8 years old, how about McCain and Palin, why is that being skipped over.
McCain votes with Bush policies 92% and then turns and denies it – WHY?
Why not question Palin about Wasilla? How they ended up in a 22 million dollar deficit? Strange, yets she’s supposed to be so savvy on economy. Ask how she had her expensive home built?
How would McCain know how the middle class lives? How many of the middle class have 7-8 homes? He is really out of touch and picking Palin really proves it.

It is a disgrace to Alaska that this lady is running for VP. In fact it is not her fault. At the time of accepting the offer from McCain she reapeatedly asked McSame whether she was good for the job.
It was thrusted upon her by McCAin in order to get the disgruntled Hillary voters for McCaain.

I never really believed in the so called liberal biased in media. Even after Dan Rather I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Even with George Stephanopoulos (don’t ask me to spell that properly). After the last few months, you would have to have a single digit IQ to deny that the media as a whole are pushing Obama into the White House even more than Rush and talk radio are pushing McCain. ….. Has anyone noticed that the more the media says Obama is a shoe in, the lower the stock market goes? Heavy investors know what is going to happen, they’re getting out while the still have something to get out with.

When is Obama going to release his medical records as he’s had 2 years to do so? A one-page doctor’s note saying he’s OK doesn’t cut. Governor Palin should say she will release her records one-minute after Obama releases his. What is Obama hiding? Moreover, Governor Palin has more experience than Barack Obama. Obama has only been in the US Senate 3 years and has spent most of that time running for President or voting “present.” That is why the pro-Obama media (MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc.) keep smearing Governor Palin on a daily basis, in order to distract the American people from the fact that it is Obama who lacks the experience and is not ready to be President. Moreover, as Joe Biden and Hillary said, Obama is not ready to be President. Moreover, Biden also said he would be honored to be on the same ticket with McCain. Moreover, Biden also said that, due to Obama’s inexperience, within 6 months of an Obama presidentcy, there will be an international crises to test Obama, and Biden did not feel that Obama would make the right response. Therefore, when even Obama’s running mate has not confidence in Obama, it’s obvious we should be voting for McCain.

It is obvious that this election is skewed hard left. The media has campaigned for Obama from day one. They have trained the American voters that substance does not matter, truth applied to all candidates evenly is not the right thing to do. Only republicans should have to answer hard questions while dems can expose change and hope. Why is Palin harrased about her medical records and Obama is given a free pass? Why does no one care that Obama refuses to release his birth records, college transcript, state senate records and every other detail of his past? Read his own books and you will see and interesting Barack Hussien Obama who will give you pause to think by his own words. Biden finally gets tough questions from a news anchor now they are trying to ruin her. Normal actions for this campaign.

I’m amazed that there hasn’t been an uproar about Sarah Palin’s connection to the Alaskan Independence Party. Todd Palin was a member from 1995-2002 (conveniently transferring to the GOP when his wife began her political aspirations). Sarah Palin has continued her participation in their political activities, and even taped a greetings speech for their 2008 convention. This group is completely anti-American. Their primary purpose is to achieve secession for Alaska, so that it is no longer a part of the U.S. And while you’re looking into it, be sure to check out the group’s founder, Joe Vogler, a rabid anti-American, who was killed in 1993 (when Pain was in her late 20′s) in a plastic exposive deal gone bad. What does this say about the Palin’s patriotism??

McCain, Palin,and Biden have released their medical records. Why won’t Obama?
McCain released his long form birth certificate why won’t Obama?
Is he just arrogant or his he hiding something?

Obama’s gonna steal my ATM pin code and deplete my bank account, then he’s going to go to the post office and fill out a change of address form on me and have all my bills sent to some guy in Botswana, then he’s going to create policy that taxes me everytime I use a public restroom (I should’ve listened to mom when she told me not to use those dang things), and then he’ll take my linens and bath towels and make turbans for all of my family to wear, and then he’ll tattoo the words “socialist sypmathizer on my forehead in red ink, and then he’ll take my 401K savings and use it to buy Michelle a new Palin-inspired wardrobe, and then he’ll enslave me along with the rest of the white race.
Boy, you wingnuts sure do sound stupid, and it’s easy to sound stupid. See, I just did it.
You’re all wastes and deep down, you all know it. Grow up, already.

How is she justified is releasing her medical records ONE WEEK before a general election?
Posted by: Enorme Nuez | October 27, 2008, 1:13 pm 1:13 pm
McCain didn’t release his medical records, why should Obama? Not sure why Palin should either, except for the fact that she said she would.
Does anyone doubt that young, athletic, ball-playing Obama has the health and stamina for four years of leading in tough times? McCain is a cancer survivor showing obvious signs of mental aging. McCain is tough, no doubt about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him keel over in the next several years, and I just don’t get that vibe off Obama. The note from his doctor works for me, and I find the obsession with Palin’s medical records prurient and inappropriate. She’s obviously in tip top health and if she wants to supply a note from her doctor too (maybe there already is one) that works for me just as well. All these crazy stories about whether she had her daughter’s baby or vice versa or whatever are absurd and repellent.

Obama hasn’t given his original birth certificate. Odd how he went to Hawaii to visit his grandmother or was he there because some one filled a lawsuit to try and get it.

Previous poster:AcceptingMan….you forgot to mention that the person filing the lawsuit lost….the judge laughed at him. This story has been debunked so many times. Do yourself a favor, turn off the FOX propaganda channel, turn on the real news and put your “country first”.

When Palin’s records are released, do you think we’ll be able to still see the whiteout from where they changed Trig’s mom’s name?
Posted by: M | October 27, 2008, 3:50 pm 3:50 pm
First of all the Hussein thing is sooo old. Only fear-mongering hate spewing repubs care about his middle name.
Second has Palin released her school records. People want to see if Obama actually went to Harvard although it is openly documented that he was over the law review and he passed the bar, so what is to confirm? Palin’s records will show just how much of dim bulb she is that is why nobody cares to see them. How about McCain’s school records maybe they will disprove the fact he finished at the bottom of his class.
The birth certificate thing is old too. Get over it unlike McCain Obama was born in the U.S.
Why are you republicans so mad because they are asking for something that she claimed she would give and didn’t. If she is not going to release the records just admit that you are not going to do it. She did that in the debate and refused to answer questions. Just refuse again the election is almost over and nobody truly cares about the records. If there is something embarrassing then just don’t release them till after the election only if you win. Simple
Lastly everytime someone says anything about Palin repubs scream what about Obama like little children. Spend more time pumping your candidate up instead of tearing Obama down and you might be able to pull this election off.

Republicans are resorting to the Scare tactics of 2000 and 2004 that Bush and Cheney made famous. When they resort to this they are running scared. Well McCain is running scared, even his VP pick does not know what a VP does, she has not even read the Constitution ….The Vice President of the United States[1] is the first person in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president, should he or she accept the position. Every presidential term ends on January 20 of the year immediately after a presidential election. As designated by the Constitution of the United States, the vice president also serves as the President of the Senate, and may break tie votes in that chamber.[2] He or she may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he or she acts only as an agent of the president.

funny, all this talk about obama’s “drug use” …
i don’t remember all you republicans being at all concerned about george bush’s admitted cocaine and alcohol abuse (including at least one drunk driving arrest and many stories about gwb using cocaine at the white house during ghwb’s administration). in fact, i have a distinct memory of republicans screeching ferociously that it was “the past” and “irrelevant.” and let’s not go back into the fact that gwb’s military records were never fully released, with significant gaps in documentation for the period of most controversy where it was pretty clear that he was in fact unofficially AWOL. but yeah, let’s not talk about that.
in regards to obama’s birth certificate: this is only an issue if you are also claiming that obama’s mother was not american. john mccain was born in panama. regardless of where you are born, if your parents are american, you are american. if obama is not qualified by birth because you believe he was born somewhere other than the US, then you must also accept that mccain is likewise not qualified.
can we shut up about the birth certificate and drug use now?

Two questions?
How did Obama steal the primary? They all agreed to not have their names on the ballots in Michigan and Florida. Every candidate knew that the votes were not going to be counted. Delgates probably had more loyalty to Hillary than Obama but went with him anyway so please explain. I liked both Obama and Clinton so I would have been happy with either but I would like clarity.
Second question why were the republicans not crying sexism when Hillary was running. I do not think that Hillary was mistreated because they didn’t like her coming into the primaries but the things said about her while her husband was president were way worse than the fact people call Sarah Palin dumb or misinformed. Republicans, Palin included called her a whiner and yet now they whine and cry about every question and request. Palin even refered to her as a bitch when she lost.
So explain where the sexism has come from. Do not mention the clothes thing because the same thing happened to Edwards. Do not say anything about being asked how she will be V.P. with 5 kids. Because we all know in society women are usually the ones that take care of the kids and since she has kids that are still minors this would be something that has never been done before. Nobody said she couldn’t do it they just asked how.

“Palin had over 80 percent approval rating, in Alaska.
She comes from a state pretty much like Pres CLinton did.”
alaska is nothing like arkansas. they start with the same letter, i’ll give you that. why don’t you take a gander at the population of each state, or….. any facts about each state.
also that 80% approval bs was “at one time she had an 80% approval rating” currently it’s in the 50s or 60s. they fail to mention that.

Here is something that might be something for you Obama supporters to think about. It was just announced today that the daily Oklahoman, the largest newspaper in Oklahoma, is endorsing McCain for president. The Oklahoman has a circulation of all over the southwest! This election is not over yet!

M: You are just like all of the other Sarah Palin haters. You are filthy minded small people who will never admit when you’re wrong. It takes a real man or a real woman to admit when they’re wrong and apologize. You’re not that big. You’ll claim that her records have been changed or “doctored” and you’ll go right ahead and make your ugly slanderous remarks just as you always have.

“Palin to Release Medical Information Early This Week”
____________________________
Good! Hopefully doctors will discover evidence of a nefarious Democratic plot in which liberal, leftist abortion doctors broke into Gov. Palin’s hotel room and, while she was sleeping, inserted a chip into her brain that MADE her say such things as:
1. She knows a lot about Russia because she can see it from Alaska.
2. She reads “all the newspapers–ALL of them.”
3. “The Vice President controls the Senate and can really get in there an make some good policy.”
4. She couldn’t remember any Supreme Court cases other than Roe v. Wade, but she’d find some and “get back to ya with ‘em.”
5. She was “exonerated” by an ethics probe that in fact said she broke laws and violated ethics.
Plus, maybe they can find out why her right eye keeps opening and closing by itself while she’s speaking.
Look, we Republicans know that no real candidate for Vice President of Our Beloved Nation could EVER really be this stupid and inept, so her medical records are either gonna find that chip or find that these commie abortionists LOBOTOMIZED her.
Because that’s just how you Democrat/leftie/commie/socialist/terrorists are.

Health Records: Honestly, who cares? The election is in seven days. Obama is a healthy 47 year old man who has picked an outstanding vice president in the event that something happens. McCain is a 72 year old man with a history of an aggressive form of cancer who picked a completely unprepared running mate. Neither has released their health record in any reasonable manner. I could care less about Biden and Palin.
Obama is a socialist: I have to wonder at those that cry socialist at Obama, when the current Republican administration nationalized banks, supported the auto industry, and bought up insurance companies-all on the taxpayers dime. We are all owners of these companies through the decisions of the Bush administration. Where were the calls against socialism then? In addition, our country is BASED on a redistribution of wealth.
Obama’s Birth Certificate: This was released by the campaign this summer. It has been analyzed by multiple groups and deemed to be authentic. Plus, as karen marie mentioned above, John McCain was born in Panama. Your citizenship is determined by your parents.
The point is: Neither of these candidates have executive experience. A comparison of the two campaigns shows vast differences. Obama has led a disciplined, well-executed, and excellently organized campaign. He has surrounded himself with the best of every area. McCain has been erratic, uneducated, and spontaneous. He surrounded himself with the very people that brought him down in 2000. There is no way I want my government run IN ANY WAY REMOTELY like the way that McCain has run his campaign.

Carlyonsue says: “The lies that you are spouting about me are nothing but filth that you have made up in your demented mind! You don’t know me at all and you know nothing about me!”
But I DO know her! I know that she picked the name “Carly on Sue” due to its lesbian titilation factor. And I know that Carlyonsue’s real name is “Carly” and that she spends most of her time lying on top of Sue. Thus, “Carlyonsue.”
No real American would glorify this lifestyle or would trumpet their alternative sexuality in public like this. Nor would any real McCain supporter or Christian.
Sarah Palin wouldn’t approve of this either.
Vote “no” on obvious lesbians like “Carlyonsue.”

Hi Carlyonsue,
This is “The Truth” again. But this time I’m not writing to mock or to insult you. Actually my intent is to apologize to you–and to explain a little. It’s possible you’ll accept neither the apologoy nor the explanation. But either way is OK with me.
And I should make clear that I’m apologizing not because you’ve threatened me with lawyers, or with “reporting” me, etc. I think most people who spend any amount of time online know that there are no “teeth” in any of those options. So people pretty much say and do what they want to each other online without fear.
No, I apologize because I realize that I’ve been terribly unkind to you and I can only act that way for so long until my conscience gets the better of me. I can see that what I’ve said has genuinely upset you, and I sincerely regret that. So let me say that I apologize for the personal things I’ve said about you. And I renounce and repudiate them here. I’m sure that none of them are even remotely true.
That said, I would also advise you not to participate in these kinds of message boards if you’re going to get as upset as you did above. You’re quite right that neither I nor anyone else here knows you. Therefore, whatever we say to you or about you here is meaningless. The insults are about letters on a page, not you. Therefore, you shouldn’t feel compelled to argue with someone who insults you online–e.g., providing particulars about your family, your name, your sexuality etc. That’s not only unnecessary, it provides the insulter with more fodder that can be used to insult you. So, in short, either get tough and learn to ignore insults online without replying or justifying, or stop going to message boards. Taking to heart people’s insults only makes things worse, and upsets you to boot.
Now let me tell you why I did it, as misguided and as unfair to you as it was: I’ve seen the things that the McCain side has said recently about Obama: He’s a “Muslim,” a “terrorist,” a “socialist,” “not like us,” “un-American,” a “militant,” a “subversive,” a “radical,” “not a citizen,” etc. All of these accusations are totally, patently untrue. They are every bit as untrue as the things I said about you in previous posts. I made those up out of whole cloth; that’s exactly what the McCain/Palin campaign has done with their “charges against Obama. Each one has been completely, totally and repeatedly disproved. Yet to people who WANT to believe such nonsense, they take on a life of their own. Just like what I said to you before.
And again, that’s unfair. As unfair as what I did to you. And again, I truly apologize for the latter.
And that indeed is “The Truth.”

Is Sarah Palin’s medical record coming anytime soon? Since today is midweek and the campaign promised early this week!
Posted by: Guildford V | October 29, 2008, 9:54 am 9:54 am
The only thing released is “Diva”, “Whack Job”. I am curious if this wasn’t done to get the attention off of Sarah’s medical records, a diversion you might say. If this is the case then whatever is in those medical records is a lot more damaging than “Diva”, or “Whack Job”. I’m guessing they decided the constituents would think less of the campaign advisors than Sarah.
Posted by: Srethng | October 29, 2008, 11:59 am 11:59 am
The question is WHY DO MCCAIN/PALIN REFUSE TO RELEASE PALIN’S MEDICAL RECORDS? The only conclusion is there must be something to hide. McCain had something to hide but released his 1500 pages to a closed group of reporters for a limited time with no recording allowed. I guess Palin’s records are shorter but even more revealing of Palin’s own life, family and honesty.

Since most of hussein’s supporters don’t contribute to society, don’t earn meaningful income and therefore don’t pay taxes, hussein plans to re-distribute wealth by giving the tax money paid by hard-working, successful Americans to these people via a tax credit. For example, consider those college pukes that primarily live off their parents for drug money (and probably will do so for the rest of their lives). Say they earn a few dollars flipping-burgers, and pay no income taxes. Under hussein’s plan, even these pukes WILL GET A CHECK OF $1000 FROM THE IRS
————————————-
If you think most of Obama’s supporters don’t work and will be given a check from the government, didn’t Bush do the same thing when he gave the $300 checks to each American? McCain had no problem with that. I guess you think anyone who makes less that 250K a year are deadbeats. Please get back on your private jet and fly back to wherever you came from.

Bush & McCain want to negotiate free trade agreements that put Americans out of work in an effort to eliminate the middle class. Countries that turn a blind eye to slave wage paying companies should not be able to sell their goods to the USA. Any trade agreement that doesn’t require our partner to buy as much from us as we buy from them should be canceled.

I’m glad America is finally waking up to the truth about republicans vs democrats. Republicans believe in supply-side economics which says, “Make the rich richer so they can buy more things and put the rest of us to work in an effort to trickle-down the wealth”. Bill Clinton believed in a different economic theory, “Give the money to those who need it and they will spend it.” After 8 years of Clinton, American families earned $9000 a year more. After almost 8 years of Bush, American families lost $2000 a year. Is there a better comparison for the two parties than that?
The struggle in America is not white vs minority, it is haves vs have-nots.
America will be a much better country when we work together instead of dividing us by race. Obama cares more about the majority than republicans. I never understood why anyone who wasn’t rich would vote for tax cuts for the wealthy and the elimination of the middle class. America’s best days are ahead of us when the ‘old boys network’ is voted out of office.

Biafra:
I am addicted to the coming election just as much as you and I’m glad it will be over soon. I don’t think there will be any need to feel Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Post Partum because Obama will challenge this nation to do whatever it takes to have a country ALL of us can be proud of. Getting out of the mess Bush and his clan made will require sacrifices from all of us. Ridding our dependence on foreign oil and creating millions of good middle-class jobs that can’t be out-sourced will take time. When Obama is president he will give a speech much like JFK’s challenge to America to do the things that must be done to make America an even better country.
Go Obama!

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08″ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
—————————————-
Your story was very funny but you left out the rest of it:
When Obama got elected, the waiter went to college and got a law degree because of Obama’s investment in young people. He then got a great job in a new law firm which bought the company you worked for. You lose your job, your home, and become homeless. One day the homeless guy you gave 10 bucks to see’s you sleeping in the alley next to the restaurant where you met him. He remembers you, and asks if you need a job. You say yes, he helps you into his new fully electric SUV, takes you to the other side of town and sales you to a 3rd world sex slave ring where you get banged by hundreds of ex-waiters on a company trip to Bangkok.
That kinda makes me laugh my arse off!
