Pro Palestinian Clooney Advises Obama
Aug 12, 2008 Political
Barack Obama is said to be unnerved by the celebrity tag applied to him by the McCain camp. Obama does not like the ads depicting him as a mega star and he has called such ads a distraction from the issues (though Obama has recently put out a similar “distracting” ad). I wrote before that if Obama did not want to be viewed as some kind of celebrity then perhaps he needs to stop hanging out with celebrities or acting like them.
The sainted one has not learned. He has been hanging out with ultra liberal George Clooney who has been providing advice on how the sainted one can polish his image. Clooney is an actor whose profession is to make people think he is something that he is not. This is a perfect fit for Obama because he is trying to make us think he is something that he certainly is not.
Clooney has tried to keep his contact with Obama under wraps so that the liaison will not damage Obama’s chances at the White House. In other words, Clooney the ultra liberal knows that being an ultra liberal will not sit too well with a majority of this country. He does not want people to make the connection that Obama is as much an ultra liberal because he wants Obama to win.
Clooney text messages Obama and talks to him once or twice a week with advice. For instance, Clooney told Obama that he needed to be more balanced on issues such as US-Israel relations. Clooney is pro Palestinian which means he is on the side of the people who do not recognize Israel’s right to exist and who want support terrorist organizations that are hell bent on destroying Israel. Nice. I am unsure if Clooney wants Obama to be more balanced as in not so favorable toward Israel or more balanced to give an appearance that he supports Israel. Given Obama’s associations with anti-Semitic pastors and so called leaders it is a safe bet that Obama is no friend of Israel.
One of the last things America needs is advice on how we should be run by George Clooney. This is a guy who could not run his own life, who is a past drug abuser (just like Obama), who abuses alcohol and who has slept with countless women. Then again, this guy is perfect for the Democratic nomination…
If Obama wants people to stop thinking of him as some kind of celebrity then he needs to stop hanging around with and taking advice from the very people who help get him labeled with the celebrity tag.
Barack Hussein Obama and George Clooney are two peas in a very liberal pod. God help us if Obama wins especially if he is taking advice from Clooney a man who could not pour water from a pail if the directions were written on the bottom.

Obama Supports Private School Choice, for His Kids…
Aug 12, 2008 Political
Barack Obama, like most Democrats, opposes school choice and voucher programs. He believes that all children should be forced to attend the public school system where they will be properly indoctrinated into the mindset of government run everything. The Democrats are in bed with the teacher’s unions and therefore have to support programs that require all children to attend a public school system that is failing miserably mainly because the unions care more about teacher pensions and less about child performance. Yes, the Democrats believe that parents should not be allowed to send their children to private schools on a voucher program because, to them, the public system is adequate.
Adequate for everyone else’s children. It is no secret that many politicians send their children to private schools. It is also no secret that while they are giving speeches about how great the public school system is, they are ensuring that their children do not attend the public schools. When asked, they indicate that this was the best choice for their children. In other words, they believe that they should be able to choose but you should not. Barack Obama is no different.
While Obama is deriding voucher plans as tired schemes and while he receives the endorsement of the teacher’s unions and while he is extolling the virtues of a public education he is sending his little darlings to a private school. He is paying over $15 thousand a year per child to send his girls to private school and he says it is because that is the best choice for them. In other words, Obama’s kids deserve what is best for them and because he can afford it, they get it. The rest of you rubes have to send your kids to the public school system because no Democrat will allow vouchers so that your kids can get the same good education.
It has to be that way. Chelsea Clinton got her private education, the Kennedy kids went to private schools (as do nearly all children of politicians) and now the Obama kids. All the while, your kids are attending the substandard public school system. This is the way it has to be in order for the elite in this country to continue their rule. If your kids did not go to public schools who would Obama’s kids rule over when they get elected to office?
Look at all the people in politics who have children in some sort of service as either politicians or as lobbyists. This is a nepotistic system that allows generations of families to rule the rest of us and the only way they can continue to do this is to ensure that their children have all the advantages while they keep the rest of the children in the country stuck in the mire of the public system.
The next time Obama tells you that the public system is great ask him why his kids are not in it. As with every other hypocritical position, he will give you a BS answer as to why things should be different for him and his family than they are for you and yours.

Obama Panders to Elderly with Tax Scheme
Aug 12, 2008 Political
Barack Obama is touting a new part to his tax plan and this new twist is designed to pander to the elderly voters, those more likely to vote for John McCain. Obama wants to make the first $50,000 of income tax free for the elderly. Tax experts indicate that this is a bad idea for a number of reasons. It has also been pointed out that many of the elderly do not pay taxes and that an arbitrary threshold might take away incentive for them to work if they will go over the limit.
Obama believes; “If you work hard and pay into the system, you’ve earned the right to a secure retirement.” [My Way News] This all sounds real good but it begs the question; if they are entitled to a secure retirement why is Obama opposed to privatizing at least a portion of Social Security? The Social Security system is broken and a lot of that is because politicians use the money taken in to pay other bills. They cannot be trusted with any money because all they now how to do is spend. In addition, the money that does survive their raids earns very little interest. Even with a turbulent economy, money placed in the market is earning more than the money held by the government.
Obama believes, as do most Democrats, that the government knows what to do with your money better than you do. John Edwards was partly correct when he said there were two Americas. Edwards believed there was one set of rules for the rich and one for the poor. In reality, there are two sets of rules but they are for the elected and the people who put them in office. While we have to worry about retirement, the elected have very nice systems all paid for by the taxpayer.
The problem with our country is that we spend too much money and the answer to our problems is always more taxes. In order for Obama to decrease or eliminate taxes on the elderly some other group will have to pay more. It is high time someone started talking about decreasing spending and lowering our taxes at the same time.
It is time for common sense plans instead of pandering. However, look for more pandering as the election draws near.
Also keep in mind that this money they discuss spending does not belong to them. They have no right to commit it to schemes that will ultimately end up costing all the producers even more money.
While You’re At It, Check Your Blood Pressure
Aug 7, 2008 Political
Barack Obama has a sure fire energy plan and that plan is for you to check your tire pressure and make sure it is where it is supposed to be. Now this is fine advice and keeping tires properly inflated will help people conserve a little fuel but this will not solve our energy problems. Obama and McCain have been going back and forth on the tire pressure issue and Obama supporters have chimed in to let us know The One is correct, and oh so wise. They are convinced this is some kind of revelation.
The fact is that anyone who owns a vehicle of any kind and is responsible already knows this. People who take responsibility for their property know that they need to get regular oil changes, regular tune ups and they need to check their air pressure to ensure proper inflation. Auto experts have been telling us to check our tires for decades and each owner’s manual discusses properly inflating one’s tires. It is so important there is a sticker inside the door of each vehicle indicating the proper tire pressure.
The reason people on the right make fun of the suggestion is that, in the first place, the amount of fuel saved will not solve our energy problems. Secondly, we on the right have known this and those who are, once again responsible, have been doing this. The reason this is such a profound statement to liberals is because they needed a guy from the government to tell them the information because they need government to completely run their lives for them. They all probably have a recording from the government with a voice that says; “breathe in…..breathe out.”
It is also funny that Obama said that AAA and NASCAR endorse properly inflating our tires as if this is new. Besides that, what does Obama know about NASCAR? Obviously not much if he is looking to them to provide guidance on fuel economy. You see, they also endorse driving 170 mph and they burn more fuel in a weekend than most of us do all month.
For those of you on the left who think Obama has come up with some grand idea, it is not new. Let me help you. Go to the store and buy a tire pressure gauge and put it in your glove box. Them once a month check your tire pressure. Radio Shack has a nice digital air gauge that makes a nice gift. Mrs. Dog got me one a few years ago and I retired the old stick scale model I had.
Just in case you libs did not know this, properly inflated tires not only save you a little fuel they also last a lot longer. Of course you will need a proper alignment (which also helps to save fuel). Oops, sorry. I probably ruined the next revelation the sainted one is going to have to teach you kool aid drinkers how to save gas.
So, keep in mind that no one is saying Obama is incorrect about inflated tires saving people fuel (a little). We are saying that he is wrong in telling us this is somehow a method of decreasing our fuel demands. As it stands right now, a lot more people are taking public transportation and not driving their cars anyway.
If everyone who owned a car checked their tire pressure right now and made sure they were all correct, gas would still be $4.00 a gallon. With gas prices that high tire pressure isn’t the only thing we should check. We also need to check our blood pressure…
At least we now know Obama favors inflation…

Don’t Let Obama Fool You About Donors
Aug 6, 2008 Political
Barack Obama likes to talk about how he has received so many donations under 200 dollars and all the regular people who are donating to his campaign. There are certainly quite a few people who donated $200 or less but they are not the people who make up the bulk of the donations.
Obama claims he is an outsider and that he is not taking money from special interests but there is no doubt that he is getting money from lawyers who work for companies that have lobbying branches, hedge fund managers, Hollywood (of course), and even BIG OIL (say it isn’t so). Obama has a number of bundlers who have raised $50,000 to $1 million. These are people who will expect something in return for their work and despite what Obama says, he knows it and he will give them what they want.
Obama, according to the Herald Tribune, developed a network of wealthy donors and other contacts when he was a crooked politician in Chicago and he cultivated those relationships until they grew into the money producing machine he has become. His ability to raise huge sums of money is why Obama broke his word on public financing of his campaign. I don’t know if I would call what he did a lie because I think he believed it when he said it but once he saw the huge sums roll in he got greedy and went back on his word. This is not a good character trait and not what I expect in a president. The only thing a man can give and that no one except him can take away is his word.
Don’t let Barack Hubris Obama fool you at all. He is nothing more than a typical politician. He will say or do anything to get elected and if he does there will be a bunch of people with their hands out for repayment. Even though Obambi says he will take on the lobbyists, I think it is likely he will take them on for work rather than to stop their influence peddling.
One more thing about donors. The totals Obama has reported are quite impressive but he did not do it with small donors, he did it with large bundlers. There is also an indication that he has accepted illegal donations from non citizens overseas. Two such donors are Palestinians living in Gaza in Hamas territory. In addition to their problem of not being legally eligible to donate, they also ended up giving well over the legal limit. How much of this is going on and how convenient Obama has held up the FEC appointments.
Obama has raised quite a bit of money and good for him. However, he got it from big donors. Regardless, with $340 million dollars donated to him, it is a sure sign that the economy is not really that bad.
