RNC links Obama and Blagojevich in Web Video

We got rid of two corrupt politicians from Illinois this year… one is going to trial, the other to the White House.

It’s great to see the press finally looking into these allegations that have persisted for years… after the election!

Matt Jaffe and Sunlen Miller
quote The CHANGEling:
” … But what I’m absolutely certain about is that our office had no involvement in any deal-making around my Senate seat. That I’m absolutely certain of.”
The flim-flamming forces of mob-friendly Obama can wriggle for a week or more, one supposes, on that phrase “our office”.

While the RNC spends money and time on this, the country burns. Can’t we get away from the politics and focus more on what can be done about the current and dismal state of the country???

“What have they done the last 8 years?”
Kept your a$$ safe.

“While the RNC spends money and time on this, the country burns.”
Who’s spending money on this again? Hey- it’s not like spending money on finding out if Trig is Sarah’s baby, is it? THAT was worthwhile, right?
Who wrecked the country?
Democrats, not Republicans.
Obama spent a billion dollars getting elected. That money could have fed a lot of people. How many could be fed for the inaugural party he’s going to throw?

I am no fan of either party, but it seems to me that Obama talking with the governor should come as no surprise since they represent the same state. Seems like the governor and the senators of states should have phone conversations.

Thinking, no it is Democrats that have pushed America to the bring of destruction. Democrats supported the Community Reinvestment Act that is directly responsible for the current crisis. They rejected needed reforms during congressional hearings in both 2002 and again in 2005, while Republicans pushed for those needed reforms.
But it goes beyond that. Democrats are responsible for the ever growing federal government. They enacted social programs as a way to buy votes from people who think they will get their goodies from the government without any expense on their part. These mandates, starting in the 1930′s continue to saddle every incoming president with an unsustainable system. This pyramid scheme is ultimately doomed to fail. As Alexander Tyler predicted, once the people of a democracy realize that they can simply vote themselves benefits from the government, that government is will fail. We are at this point because the Democrats have openly played on handing out government goodies as a way to empower themselves. I fear for my country because I know how hard it will be to reverse this trend before the damage is permanent.

Why can’t the Republican party quit trying to drag everyone down? They are supposed to be a part of the leadership of this country. Instead they are acting in a subversive manner, trying to inflame everyone with their rhetoric.
The headline written for this piece doesn’t help matters any; it implies that PEBO himself had contact when in fact the article doesn’t mention that any proof exists that he did.
The National Enquirer has a slot open for “reporters” who deal in innuendo rather than fact.
The election is over; there is work to do and the RNC isn’t helping at all.

Don’t worry libs…….Just keep telling us that it is just about the money and no big deal. Say it often and keep repeating the same logic. Your friends in the mainstream media will play it for you over and over……after all your last democrit president disgraced the office but it was just about the “sex” right????
Do you want to see the difference between class and “no class”…..wait to see if all the “O’s” are left on the White House keyboards when Obama takes office. Some of the Clintonistas still have the “W” keys as souvenirs.

hum ‘Hope” and “changing is Not coming .. what a fraud!!!

Very Good points James…. I agree 100%

“[Republicans] are bitter because Barack Obama won and he won because lots of republicans voted for him.”
Hahaha: Republicans voted for The CHANGEling because he IS a Republican –the token “Republican” ticket, an elderly lunatic and an evangelical populist, was a bad joke.
Republicans, one suspects, are pleased as punch with the “Obama” organization — for turning off many first-time voters forEVER.

Anna – I don’t know if any are leaving the country, but I haved talked to a few that are buying guns. One of my office mates just bought some sort of an assault rifle.

“Cheering for that Choirboy Howard Dean at the DNC?? He was a real team player for the ‘work of the country’.”
Except for the treacherous work of the right wing of the formerly-Democratic Party — John Kerry and the other crooks who installed the “Obama” organization — people’s choice Howard Dean, not George Bush, would have BEEN president.
The Democratic Wing may well be wondering whether Dean will have something to do with the “Obama” organization’s downfall, inasmuch as he engineered their “election”, and knows where the bodies — quite a few of them Democrats FROM the Democratic Wing — are buried.
Think about it, kids: stretch those brains.

How is a big fat lie The republicans are dead gone bye bye see ya no one cares what they think! Its about Obama and the Dems the Pathetic GOP Has got some remolding to do thats gonna take quite some time!

republicans get coal, clean coal mind you this christomas in their stockings. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Kevin,
Beware, as soon as Obama doesn’t fix the economic crisis worldwide by about April, Obama will be personna non grata. He’s not the Messiah. That’s soon going to be painfully obvious even to those people who are on their knees in adulation.
BTW, did you hear the news? Rahm Emanuel, Barkey’s best friend and right hand man, DID talk quite a bit to Blago about the senate seat. And on FBI tape too. And Rahmy-poo won’t talk. He looks like a deer in the headlights.
Wonder how long “a couple of days” is exactly. Precisely.
I also wonder how Obama can guarantee IN PUBLIC that his people didn’t talk to Blago about a deal…and then set about having an “investigation” about whether that indeed was done anyway. Sounds sort of butt-backwards to me. Ya think?
So who’s running this “investigation?” And who’s to guarantee it is an investigation and not a butt-covering convention? What are the standards for this “investigation?” I think there are some ethics problems here. I think it needs a federal judge.

WORST PRESIDENT ELECT EVER!
MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT-ELECT EVER!
WHY DID OBAMA LIE? WHAT DID OBAMA KNOW? WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?
WORST PERSON IN THE WORRRLLLDD!
Choke on that one Olbermann, you creep and hypocrite.
Obama and this whole Democrat gang are the most corrupt ever to attempt to fraud their way into the WH.
Obama won’t produce his long form birth certificate BECAUSE HE CAN’T.
Now instead of Illinois corruption contained to Illinois, the Democrat Culture of Corruption is taking their rank stinking corruption nationwide.
MERRY FITZMAS CHUMPS! The tentacles of the Democrat Culture of Corruption run long and deep and straight through the Obama inner circle. People are getting squeezed and singing left and right.
To quote the Democrats of the last eight years “Nobody is above the law” – you either believe it and stand by it 100%, or you don’t. If you don’t believe it and stand by it then shut your yap about Bush and the Republicans.
To quote the Democrats of the last eight years “Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism” – - you either believe it and stand by it 100%, or you don’t. If you don’t believe it and stand by it then shut your yap about Bush and the Republicans.

To quote the Democrats of the last eight years “Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism”
that is a correct and factual statement nobody can say it’s not correct??? so all the people who voted for Obama, here is a simple question…….. Please explain why this statement made buy Hillary and the like be off base NOW? very simple a question….Anna ?? Angie?????

Noel
Are you forgetting all the red states that turned blue Obama and the Dems even stole traditional Red states pluzzze maybe the south might still be for Republicans but thats about it

about obama’s birth certicate, he produced it, ofifficials in hawaii confirmed it, and a hawaii newspaper ad the was released when obama was also provided the paper even mention.
some republicans are just jealous of obama. well what have the repubs done lately?
they killed the auto bill, because the lowest paid employees didn’t agree to a pay-cut, while the executives are some of the highest paid in the world, their bonuses and executive perks will be preserved, so they can have enough to sponsor republican candidates during elections. talk about getting shafted by conservatives…….

PE Obama: “What I want to do is to gather all the facts about any staff contacts that I might — may have — that may have taken place between the transition office and the governor’s office. And we’ll have those in the next few days, and we’ll present them…”
Seems pretty reasonable to me. If he’s not dirty, then it stands to reason they may have to run any statements by the Justice Department or whomever to ensure he doesn’t harm the investigation.
Some of you guys need to relax for a bit.

“Funny how there isn’t anything in the taped conversations between Emanual and Blagovich that in any way reflects badly on either Emanual or Obama.”
All we at the small end of the media funnel know is what’s been said at press conferences. Maybe Fitzgerald and friends are just, you know, giving the “Obama” organization enough rope …

No need to hold his breath. There’s absolutely no suspense now. Barkey has built expectations up until Moses himself couldn’t fulfill them in the timeframe expected.
Barkey is going to tank. It’s only a matter of time. Honestly, I suggest that instead of holding breaths, that we make popcorn. This is going to be a GREAT SHOW.
We’re going to see:
a) the news media finangle their way, none to gracefully I might add, into a complete turnaround, or they won’t sell any airtime,
b) the convulsions of Chicago politics as all of Obammy’s political debts come due, all the while that they don’t realize that they’re not national-class and can’t be seen in public. They’re slime.
c) the Dems trot out their best FDR nonsense and see it fall flat on its butt, because it didn’t even work for FDR. WWII got us out of the depression.
People don’t often know that there were 2 dips to the depression–one in 1933 and one in 1938.
d) people come around to reality after the adulation phase. Yes, Obama does use toilet paper. Yes, Obama is a man. Yes, honey, Obama makes mistakes–pretty much constantly.
Time to wake up. The alarm clock just went off. It’s December and the fantasy of a presidential election is over. It’s reality time.

Just wait. The ball is in your court now. We’re waiting to see what you’re going to do. I hope you are successful. We’ll see.
Make popcorn. Get a good chair. This is going to be a hoot.
Gosh, I hope there are no cigars involved though. That was just crude.

Well it looks like the big 56 millon people their voices are dead, Obama has a high approval rating and He won Period! And the only bubble thats gonna burst and when more Republicans get voted out and it takes years for them to recover WATCH!
GIVE IT TIME HES NOT EVEN IN OFFICE…. HEY WHY DID’NT ANY OF YOU DEMS ANSWER THE DISSENT QUESTION???? humm…MAYBE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T REASONABLY ANSWER IT????

Actually, that’s one of the interesting metrics I’m watching. Barkey’s approval rating is already dropping and he’s not even in office yet.
IT’s going to be a hoot. I’m lovin’ this.

“Time to wake up. The alarm clock just went off. It’s December and the fantasy of a presidential election is over. It’s reality time.”
Let’s hope reality has struck in time to prevent the “Obama” organization from appointing Blue Dog Mike Thompson, Pelosi’s booze-biz underling, to anything.

Republicans on Board I say deal with it how does it feel now you know how most felt with your Pathetic corrupt Bush for 8 years
Illegal war
spying on us
torture
big oil
economy gone to h–
We have had to endure his Nightmare for 8 years surley you can deal with President Obama

Angie,
You forget. There are huge numbers of people out here who aren’t Dems and also aren’t Repubs. Most of us, in fact, are Independents. We just want to see the work done no matter what kind of party hack we have to elect.
R-E-A-L-I-T-Y. Americans are pragmatists. So climb down off of your little soapbox and let the election be over. IT’s DECEMBER now.
Watch and see if Obama fulfills all his promises. =) The entire rest of the country (except for a few Obama-religion folks like you) are watching to see if their wants are accomplished. You know–jobs and things like that?

Bring change to Illinois. Fire
the attorney general and dismiss
the legislature.
The RNC video and the Feds’
charges against Blago are both
worthless trash.

Anyone here remember how Bush corrupted the Justice department by firing US attorney generals for refusing to push questionable prosecutions?
Remember the review standard?
“Loyal Bushie”
Remember that Patrick Fitzpatrick was under consideration for termination BECAUSE HE WASN’T LOYAL ENOUGH TO THE RNC?
Corrupt == Republican
Republican == Corrupt
“I can’t recall” == Alberto Gonzales

GOP- Greedy outsource our Jobs Party!!

And there will always be people whose soul is so corrupt they have to call themselves Republican.
The purpose of the Iraq war was to show that George W was greater than his father, with whom he has issues.
The effect was the death of 3000 brave Americans and the establishment of an Iran friendly Islamo-state.
NOW THAT’S CORRUPT!

Ah, Angie’s a union representative. Well, no wonder.
The DEMS have paid you to vote for them for years. You are a slave, bought and paid for, pure and simple.
So, why should I believe anything you say? Teh DEms pay you to say it.

What will Sarah Palin do?
Democratic Congress and no Ted Stevens equals no PORK FOR HER.
Republican, socialist and proud, Alaska is the NUMBER 1 recipient of federal pork, including the “bridge to nowhere” that the lady supported when she ran for Governor and the “road to nowhere” on to the bridge to nowhere which was *actually built* while she was Governor.
A Republican without corruption is like an ocean without water.

THE ELECTION IS OVER, JMC. Get over it. Let’s see the Dems do what they promised. Come on. You’re behind.

Andy, the election is over. Come down off the mountain and do the work, honey. We’re waiting to see you do all the things you promised. And you’re already behind schedule.

Correction:
Midwestlady,
If you promise the Republicans don’t use the fillibuster to STOP STRAIGHT UP OR DOWN VOTES, I promise you an economy as strong as during the 90′s and NO ego-motivated wars like Iraq.
Deal?

McCain said it right that corruption happens in both the Republican and Democratic Parties!!!!

lights on is bringing race into the argument now….. they “the progressives” must be losing the argument…..PULLIN OUT THE RACE CARD!!!!
the video for this topic has nothing but factual quotes from the person who said it and clips of people contradicting themselfs. nothing made up there. SO WHATSUP????

midwestlady,
if you can get your boy bush to go ahead and leave maybe the country will have a head start at healing from the mess bush caused.
we all know, he has done as much damage as he can, and bush is ready to go also.

“The purpose of the Iraq war was to show that George W was greater than his father, with whom he has issues.”
NObody in politics has more “father” issues than mob-friendly placeholder Obama, who’s slacked off some — since the so-called “election” — on fairy tales about his no-account progenitor.

midwestlady,
“Heck of a job, Brownie!”
Yup, Michael Brown was competent, by GOP standards.
A war in Iraq, why? To sooth the ego of a GOP president.
A great depression, why? Herbert Hoover believed in the GOP theory of the economy and stuck with it.
When it comes to competency, Republicans shouldn’t throw stones. They live in a soap bubble house.

You Republicans crack me up how can the Dems do anything when The Republicans BLOCK Every vote, or Bush brings out His big Veto Pen cant you republicans ever think for once if the Republicans cant get anything out of it they aint doing it!! again
GOP=GREEDY OUTSOURCE OUR JOBS PARTY!

george bush has not shown he is greater than anyone!
george bushes father must hang his head in shame, at the thought of what his some has done to this country.
just like the rest of us should do.
if you want to compare father son problems.
looks to me george bush as messed up everything he has put his hands on.
and his father has always dug him out.
obama has done good with his life is spite of his father.
i will take obama with his father issues any day over
george w bush and his father issues.
when george tries to out do his father.
other people get hurt.
it will be interesting to see what bush will move on the mess up next.

The Democrats volunteered to be the saviors of the world, and guess what, the voters took them up on the offer. NOW PERFORM.

Angie, whatever.
You still believe that Barkey’s going to get all that stuff done, don’t you?
I am so amused. I’m going to make popcorn and watch.

midwestlady,
“The interesting thing is this: How did he know that they weren’t going to give him anything?”
Anybody that knows me could speculate on what I might do or not do because they know the content of my character, reputation and know my actions in the past. I’m sure there are certain things about you that your co-workers would assume about you, too.

midwestlady,
at least someone is trying to do the right thing.
bush the decided, decided to be the
ruiner of the world.
so let the dems try to save it.
bush promised you nothing, and has just about taken what little we did have.
after bush and the gop
i can understand why you would call the dems
saviors.
at least someone is saving us from more of the same bush/mccain.

Republicans have burned down the economy.
Voting for a Republican is an act of treason.

It’s politics, you poor naive soul.

midwestlady,
what we really need is someone to talk about the mess bush has us in and to start telling us how we will get out of it.
if you haven’t noticed, while you are ranting about obama stopping doing the country’ business, you with the rest of us are wading knee deep is the quicksand crap bush has got us in.
so yes, you can go on, but you are sinking while doing it.
hold your head up, get out of the gop trap, and save yourself, like the rest of us are trying to do.
bush has us in deep dodo
obama is the only one offering a life line stick to get us out.
grap hold midwestlady

MIDWESTLADY
Iam waiting for Jan,20,2009,When Bush is Finally gone big Party at my house farwell to the worst President yet in History yaheee Its Party time!!!!

Angie,
Have you party. But then you’d better fulfill all those promises. We’re WAITING. We expect perfection and we expect it fast.
And your savior isn’t performing so far. CAn you do something about that???? Oh almighty ones.

Midwest said why counldnt obama stop the Govenor thing?
Perhaps he has bigger fish to fry like Putting together an Administration,Putting together his Policies,Getting ready to move his Family to DC, I hardily think he has time to mess around with a corrupt Govenor!And Maybe hes behind The Gov getting caught!

Angie,
You don’t know Chicago politics. Barkey knew and cut deals with Blago before he ever spoke at that Dem convention that thrust him into the spotlight. He’s tainted way back.

Obama was put in that senate seat and fed bills to approve. Don’t you know that???
He’s a token guy and a functional piece in the Chicago machine. Come on.
Wow, the ignorance out there about Chicago politics is amazing. Don’t you know about Chicago???

midwestlady,
it took bush eight years to bush us,
now you want obama to clean it all up overnight.
and if the gop gets into office and tries any of that mess they have always tried. in two years, yes, they will all be gone.
oh happy day.

The funniest part of this election cycle was the pseudo-religious adoration of a political figure. Amazing.
Everyone knows that political figures are trash, the whole lot of them. And yet, people faint and drop to their knees over this guy. Amazing.
This is as funny as the cargo cult after WWII. Do you know about them???

Matt Jaffe and Sunlen Miller write:
“In a not-so-subtle dig at the President-elect, the Republicans’ website rips off Obama’s “change” mantra, asking visitors to ‘Join the fight – Bring change to Illinois’.”
If the political punditburo hadn’t been so blinded by Barky’s birthday suit, somebody might have asked before now how a supposedly-transformative “Obama” organization emerged from a candidate who got his start by knocking off all the other candidates for “his” Illinois senate seat … the only time Obama ran in a straight election, Bobby Rush beat him two to one.

You’re in fantasy-land, JMC. Wall Street has gone Democrat–been that way for 10-15 years, in case you didn’t know.
Keep up.

it’s these kind of stupid videos that sank the GOP. the more they weave conspiracy theories the stupider they look. ayers, wright, blogo. a majority of intelligent american said this kind of approach to issues is a big turn off. i laughed all the way through the video. there is no love between Obama and the governor. people shake hands and smile while hating each other on a daily basis in politics in all states. Obama is university-smart and street- wise. he just needs to shake the haters off. there is no shortage of corruption in republican politics, quite the opposite. so when you make stupid vids like these you could be making the case against your own party. conspire for the next 25 days. on january 20 it will be time to move on—acceptance and closure.

“You’re in fantasy-land, JMC. Wall Street has gone Democrat–been that way for 10-15 years, in case you didn’t know.”
Quit your whining. Wall street sees no profit in a destroyed American economy. Only the Republicans see a world depression as a mission.
Mission accomplished, GOP!

JMC,
Wall street wasn’t even thinking about the world economy, except how to extract a buck from it. Those people were all about getting rich. STill are.

Midwest
Obama doesnt look scared to me scared of what, he came out did a Press conference answered Questions so Nice to see a President not go into Deer in Headlights Mode when asked questions I Probably miss that about Bush that Stone Face he gets when asked real Questions Pathetic!

JMC, Bella’s probably talking about that photo that appeared on the news media of BArkey in a bathing suit—his little skinny ribs hanging out.
People swooned over it, but it was funny. It looked like one of those “98-lb weakling” advertisements in old comic books.

Yeah, Angie.
We’ll see what he says when he finally decides to say something. I think he’s waiting to find out how much people notice so he can avoid being called a liar by the news media. =)
Meantime, the scandal rages on.

Gary,
Frauds have a way of being found out sooner or later. It will come out.

Sure they are, JMC. When is this going to happen exactly? And how exactly?
I cannot believe the stupidity of some of these Obama people. You’d think they’d never cracked a history book before.

Angie,
That’s not the interesting part. What’s interesting is what conversations went on leading up to that. How did he know? What negotiations went on near the beginning of this mess, say last November or last year?

The country is more divided than it’s been in years. Interesting how that was an outcome of the love and peace people, isn’t it?

And who Divided this country
The far right religious nuts thats who but no more the Country spoke loud and clear Nov 4 No more Far right ruling of this country!

Hahaha- Obama voted with Blago 100% of the time, therefor he is a supporter. See, the logic works when you flip it around.
No wonder Obama is so anxious to take office early- he is going to need to deploy operation Wag the Dog himself.
I predict at least 1 Obama military adventure in ’09. Maybe Darfur, maybe pirates.
Its going to be hardest on the children- those feeble minded web2.0 20 somethings working away at coffeeshops and Borders feigning hipster detachment. When they wake up to the fact that HopenChange just ment electing the same of Democratic fossils and a slick political opportunist from the Olde Thyme Chicago machine their Twitters will go dark and something will die in their tiny little hearts. Obama has played hardball with them and a free condom cant protect your heart. If they cant believe what they read on a stock tout’s web site whats the world coming to?

Either Blago is nuts for saying what he did while knowing he was being taped or he it was a set up. Do you think perhaps he knew he was going down and took the opportunity to implicate others? It is clear that Rezko is talking and Blago also has lots to say. These guys are looking to get the least amount of time as possible.
“Never tell anyone the real reason you did something unless it is useful to do so”

“No wonder Obama is so anxious to take office early- he is going to need to deploy operation Wag the Dog himself.”
Hoping to get to Executive Privilege before the Justice Department works its way over to HIM …

Pretty much, yeah.
I’ll bet he’s counting the minutes.

“And Emanuel is some who who spoke to Obama every couple of hours. Are we supposed to believe that Obama had no knowledge of the extraordinary (how I wish) proposition from his old Pal Blago? Something is rotten in Denmark.”
Something is WAY rotten.
And the post about taking a WIDE view of Emanuel’s real role, and the unlikely reconstituting of the Clinton administration under “Obama”, disappeared in a flash — possibly the word “Israel” … :^\

Yap, yap, yap. Dems, don’t forget your job performance review in about 3 months.

You’re right, Machiavellianism.
Blago might as well spill everything he knows now, if only he realizes that. He’s toast politically, and he might as well not spend the rest of his life in the slammer.

Boy, there’s some aversion to chicago reality in here, huh??? LOL, okay, I’ll be more careful what i post.

“Don’t forget Illinois’ State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias. Another scandel that really needs exploring.”
Right: the mobster bank guy whom even most Illinois Democrats refused to endorse — but Obama helped him become Treasurer in return for $100,000?
Of course this wasn’t “selling” state offices, perish the thought! … perfectly Bambi-innocent, most likely, as usual with The CHANGEling.

Ah, early Christmas presents. The RNC and Republicans are a gift that just keeps on giving. First their stupid opposition to the loan program for auto companies (while Germany, Japan, China, India, et. al. bailout their companies) and now this nonsense.
Someone needs to give the Idiot’s guide series of books to the RNC. They really need to do some learnin’ or they’re going to be in the opposition for the next couple of decades.

Hey Bud,
The ball is in your court. Let’s see your holy one do everything he’s promised to do.
The performance review has already begun and Barkey’s failing already. Transparency = zero. And your buddy Rahm is about ready to see the bottom of a bus.

How many “Pay for Play” deals will come out of the $750 Million in campaign funds raised by Obama. The UAW is one that is owed plenty for all the funds they contributed.

So basically, we’re being told that:
a) Blago and Rahm talked,
b) Blego wanted things and feels that he is owed,
c) Blago was told no which means Rahm must have known what Blego wanted and he was saying no to,
d) Somehow Rahm, even though he talks to Obama on a nearly hourly basis, didn’t bother to tell Obama what Blego was asking and that it might be a problem if Blego ran his mouth about what he is so sure he is owed,
e) and Obama somehow didn’t know any of this.
OBAMA SAID HE DIDN’T KNOW ANY OF THIS.
I don’t believe it. I flat out don’t believe it.
At the very least, Rahm is completely incompetent and didn’t warn his boss off. But I don’t think that’s what the problem is. I think that we’re being lied to about what Obama knows.

Wake up America — The Two Party System is just theatrics!! The global power brokers own two parties (probably for the price of one) and we should all just accept this as a truth. Your representatives have their own interest at heart (Rod is a great example) – we are just taxpayers – our only rights are to pay taxes and spend monopoly money.

“OBAMA SAID HE DIDN’T KNOW ANY OF THIS.
I don’t believe it. I flat out don’t believe it.”
It’s probably safe to say that MOST people no longer believe ANYthing Obama — or those who serve him, or are served by him — says. And why would they?

Why on earth would anyone suggest that PEBHO resign!? Concerned in Ohio (no basis) repeats this but never gives any information, whatsoever, on why PEBHO should resign? can anyone with any enlighten me, please?

“One of the political blogs recently had a piece about how Obama planned to keep his 50 state presence of volunteers but convert them to a paid advocacy organization … ”
In California, God help us, one of His new identities is to be “CommunityOrganizer”.
Smiley-face fascism in an off-black birthday suit, exclaimed over by a huge cohort of middle-aged white guys on teevee.
Here’s hoping Michelle rats him out to Fitzgerald. For the good of the children.

I’ve often wondered what the wiser members of society must have thought to themselves on the eve of the Communist takeover in Eastern Europe, or at the birth of the 3rd Reich. I hope I never find out, but maybe I will to my sadness.

Here is another Pay for Play…
When inside man, Rezko was faced with a hospital board that had too many members to bribe (15). Rezko had a close friend who chaired the Illinois Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, State Senator Barack Obama. Obama was credited as the moving force behind a piece of bipartisan legislation (Il. Senate Bill 1332) that reduced the hospital board to nine, to be appointed by Governor Blago with advice and consent of the Illinois Senate. Blago immediately appointed three physicians, Rezko cronies with similar Middle Eastern backgrounds, all of whom were coincidentally big contributors to Barack Obama. Rezko controlled the board’s votes. The three appointed physicians have been convicted in the Federal probe and are rumored to be about ready to sing also. Michelle was hired by the University of Chicago, ultimately ending up as the University of Chicago Hospital’s Vice President for External Affairs. Barack was chair of the Illinois Senate’s powerful Health and Human Services Committee. (by the way, William Ayers is a professor at the same Univerity of Illinois). Here is another tidbit. If you Google Obama’s earmarks you will find that millions went to the University.
and the list goes on!

Some of them did, Belle. It’s a matter of recorded history. In those days, people wrote letters to family members and correspondents and so much of it is recorded and in private hands. Besides it was in the papers and many of those have been kept.
However, not all of the people felt that the 3rd Reich was the best development. This was also recorded in private documents.
Even many Germans questioned it but were silenced. Some were killed outright for dissidence or refusing to serve. Many fled in 1939. The US government helped some scientists and academics out of Germany. Others were brought out by family or risked their lives to escape.
It was a horrible time.

“Michelle was hired by the University of Chicago, ultimately ending up as the University of Chicago Hospital’s Vice President for External Affairs.”
A nice public-private “non-profit” position for which she was paid nearly a half million dollars a year, once Obama was elected to the Senate.
Now, they want to pay her to be First Lady — when it comes to snarfing up corporate $, this pair of supposed icons of middle class striving really have no shame.

Belle, I’m old enough to remember the shock when our troops marched into Buchenwald. The US Government and the American people knew that some things were going on but they didn’t know the depth and magnitude of it. The photographs tell the tale. American soldiers came home with mental illnesses caused just by seeing it.

It is true, as you say, that many German citizens were complicit. There is a book called “What did they know?” that consists of interviews taken over a long period of time. Complicity in those crimes was a sort of social madness, a mania, that we don’t fully understand, but such things certainly can and do happen from time to time.
Not all were complicit however and one can’t blame the German people as a whole, certainly. Similar things have happened to other groups before & since.
There are many illicit photographs and records of things that the German authorities didn’t know existed. Many people left a record because they knew it would end. Good people knew that what was happening was a travesty. Some fled; some were trapped. It ended, as these things always do, in a disaster. Germany has suffered much for this.

“The US Government and the American people knew that some things were going on but they didn’t know the depth and magnitude of it.”
The Final Solution to European Jewry was no mystery to, among others, Senator Prescott Bush, who served as a Nazi financier at the same time he was being a US Senator. Senator Bush’s son George (Bush I) became a CIA careerist, and grandson George W. (Bush II) has refocused uber-America’s Yankee-supremacist crusade — with which the “terror”-talking Obama expresses no basic disagreement — against Muslims and Arabs in general.

belle and midwest,
it is easy to see why you would not believe in obama or any other politician after the bushing george bush has given us.
after this eight years it will probally take another two presidential elections for the poor rebs who voted for bush to maybe trust again.
george bush really did a job on all of us.

bill clinton has been a better son to old man bush than george w has.

No, you don’t understand any of this, BIA, if you think that it’s the bush administration or the clinton administration or any normal sort of thing like that.
No, it’s the financial mania we seem to have been engaged in during the last 10 years, and the political one we seem to be in now, that’s got me worried. It’s a cultural thing, not merely political, you must understand.
We are in big trouble, and we would have been no matter who was elected, I think.

except with george w bush.
bush clammed the country down, and for any one who tried to talk about the mess,or getting out of it, were called unpatriotic.
so i guess the us were powerless and voiceless against old dubya, huh?
because he is leaving this country is a mess. just as he did the oil deal, and the baseball team, and now the country.
i guess belle starr and midwestlady are the only ones (besides bush and co.)
who can say they are better off now than they were eight years ago

Belle Starr and midwestlady: Can’t you find a way to say something constructive.
“Smiley-face fascism in an off-black birthday suit, exclaimed over by a huge cohort of middle-aged white guys on teevee. Here’s hoping Michelle rats him out to Fitzgerald. For the good of the children.”

“Anything they could possibly see in Afghanistan would be nothing like Buchenwald. Google it.”
I’m from the WarBaby generation, but distressingly well-informed about the Germans’ labor and extermination camps — from film and reading, and from eye-witness accounts, including those of a late neighbor whose unit took part in liberating one of the camps.
Whatever the armed forces are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq is not so centralized, but is driving people crazy all the same — maybe it’s the use of high technology and air assault against people without an air force.
And then there’s the obscenity of “our” military torture of detainees at Gitmo, and God knows where-all else, along with a kind of collective punishment of Arab areas in general, while “our” Congress supports Israeli policies and actions not so different from those of the Nazis.

obama will be up
when george steps down.
we would not have had this mess, no matter who was in office,
al gore is a lot smarter than george bush.
eight years ago, everything looked rosey
and everyone wanted a prez they could go have a beer with, well we got him.
and now look at the mess he is leaving.
if this had been good economic years
bush would be taking credit for it.
and bush is the face of this failed eight years. it is not just the ecomony,
it is everything that bush had a hand in.
it has all failed and needs to be redone.
by some people who seem to care, and are smart enough to do it.
bush got us all.

Yawn

It is writen in the Bible that, birds of the same feather all flock together.

You see, how it works is..
Bush pardons George Ryan before he leaves ofice…Obama will then pardon Rezko and Blago before he leaves office.
and so on and so….

mach,
are you serious?
you and everybody else should be calling for bush to be brought up on war crimes.
and i mean today.
let the ill courts and anybody else working on the badgovbit, and if obama falls he falls.
but we the us citizens should be all laser focused on bush being brought up on war crimes.
until that happens, all of the other things you are calling for justice on will not matter.
bush for war crimes now
and maybe right will start to being served again.
the head bush was wrong, and did wrong
and seems to be getting away with it.
badgovbit=iraq
bush=osama
stop looking at badgov. because bush is getting away.
bush took the eye off osama, by lying us into iraq.
bush for war crimes.
nothing will be right until that happens.
and you all know it.

the rnc,
could do there party a lot of good if they lead the charge in bring bush up for war crimes.
who care about any video they have pasted together,
their leader is a war criminal
and it needs to be addressed.

Bush…
you are soooo stuck on Bush.
The topic is Blago and Obama.
If Bush is brought up on war crimes, I will have a few words to say then. But, for now he will be out of office soon and the world is waiting for Obama to “step up to the plate” as you say.
I will have my popcorn ready!

Lt. Governor Pat Quinn and Attorney General Lisa Madigan BOTH WANT TO BE GOVERNOR. Had to smile at Meet The Press today. Quinn has been trying for at least a year to drum up support to impeach Blagojevich so he can become governor. Lisa’s father, Speaker of the House Mike Madigan, has been in a big time feud with Blagojevich. He also wants his daughter to be governor and sees no conflict of interest if she would get elected. For those who don’t live in Illinois…THESE PEOPLE ALL HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA. The state would be way better off if they would all just tend to their own business. They are loving this!!!

mach,
you should be helping sound the alarm to bring bush up on war crimes.
you will have your popcorn ready?
what does that mean.
you watch a war criminal get away, while you eat popcorn?
any other justice you all are calling for means nothing until
bush is brought up for war crimes.
yes i am soooo stuck on it.
because it should be addressed.
the dead for nine eleven,the four thousand plus american souls, and the dead iraq’ people call for someone to be stuck on it.
lets all focus on a corrupt gov. from a state that has three or four other govs already in jail. and look over a president who should be brought up on war crimes.
does that seem like justice.
the badgovbit seems to be a problem for the state of ill.
now bush the war criminal president.
that is a problem for all us citizens.
to catch badgovbit and let bush get away is not justice.
bush for war crimes that is justice
and mach, you know it.
it is like barney fife looking over the man who is robbing the bank to give a ticket the a guy for parking in the wrong spot.
priorities all wrong.
bush for war crimes first.

yes, and this should be one to.
should be part of the MSM.
so bush the war criminal does not freak you out.
but me talking about it does?

They had to bust him because the local paper printed that he was being taped.
Probably some pol tipped off the paper because the info on the auction was getting too messy.

it shouldn’t surprise anyone that obama is already involved in a scandel before he even takes office. He showed nothing but bad character all the way through the election with all his lying and deceptions. He even lied about his voting record. And of course there has always been his association’s with terrorists and hate filled people like wright and he bought his house with the help of a now convicted criminal, but yet the majority of the american people voted for him. That shows there is something wrong with the character of many american’s and we as a nation will pay for that and we already are bringing judgement upon our selves.

In a way, it’s OK though. It’s this kind of garbage that caused the devastation of the Republicans in the last election. And now they just want to bury themselves.

I am so looking forward to supporting the new president, just as some have supported President George W. Bush.
