Just Say No To Oprah
Nov 8, 2008 Political
Back during the general election Oprah Winfrey declined to interview Sarah Palin because Oprah said she wanted to keep her show free from politics. Of course, while keeping it free she had Obama on twice, his wife was on as well and Oprah made a big public spectacle of endorsing Obama.
Now that the election is over and Obama has won Oprah has requested Sarah Palin do an interview. Now Oprah is not the only one. Larry King and Barbara Walters would like interviews as well. Palin should consider those because even though King and Walters would love to give labial stimulation to glans Obama, they did not deny Palin the chance to interview during the campaign. She might not have done one but it is not because she was refused the opportunity.
Oprah, on the other hand, decided to deny an interview that many of her audience wanted to see. Now Oprah wants the ratings jump she would surely get with Palin on the adjoining couch.
Palin should do every interview except the Oprah one. She should deny any contact with Oprah or her people. Oprah is a lying, cowardly, racist puke who does not deserve the time of day. She too is part of the Chicago machine and though many consider her talented I would venture that she had Chicago help along the way. How much skill does it take to sit on a couch and talk about how much body fat you’ve lost?
Oprah might not have wanted to interject White Republican Female politics into her show but I have a feeling she will be more active in politics in 2012. Oprah is calling it quits from her show in 2011 which will give her a year to get involved and maybe even run for something though I can’t imagine what she would actually be qualified for except maybe the aforementioned labial-glans position.
If things go right, she will still be waiting for her Palin interview.

Obama Has to Win The Election First
Oct 15, 2008 Political
Barack Obama’s spiritual adviser and inspiration for his book, Jeremiah Wright, has told his congregation (which included Obama) that the chickens have come home to roost. Looks like now Barack Obama is counting them before they have hatched as are his fellow Democrats.
Obama and the Congressional Democrats are working behind the scenes to craft legislation that includes billions of dollars in spending that they will try to ram through during the lame duck session of Congress and the Bush administration. They are starting Obama’s first 100 days a bit prematurely but they are waiting until after the election so as not to tick off voters who might not be too happy with all the additional spending. The Democrats say that this legislation is important and Obama says it should happen now but now to them means after they have safely avoided the wrath of voters.
It seems a bit premature to have Obama and the Democrats working on things for would be president elect Obama since he has not actually won the election. Yes, he is up by 6-8 points nationally and leads the electoral votes but these polls are small samples (and might not be weighted correctly) so they might not be an accurate portrayal of how the events will unfold. Besides, anything can happen in three weeks.
Barack Obama, or any Democrat for that matter, should be up by a substantial margin given all that has taken place. Hillary Clinton would probably be walking away with this election had she not been slighted by her party. The polls look good for Obama but there is a nagging fear among Democrats that things could change. That fear is not so overwhelming as to keep them from planning for the win.
This might all be part of a coordinated effort among the Democrats, the Obama campaign and the media. For several weeks they have used this manufactured economic crisis (which should have been left to self correct) as a bat with which to beat McCain and the Republicans. The media and the Democrats have been reporting that the race is all but over, Obama is way ahead, McCain has gone negative because he has nothing left to lose and leaving us with the impression that the election is a mere formality. It would not surprise me to find out the MSM is manipulating poll data to favor Obama especially when one sees such differing results. Only time will tell but the media lost all credibility this election cycle when they stopped reporting news and started being cheerleaders for Obama.
This might be by design in order to dampen the spirits of Republicans and to keep them from showing up at the polls. This could be part of a Chicago style assault in order to so disparage the Republican party that they throw in the towel and concede defeat. Given that Obama won his state and federal seats by unscrupulous tactics, it is not beyond the pale that his campaign and the media would work together to steal another election.
The Obama campaign has already put out talking points for tonight’s debate to highlight The One and to discredit John McCain. This, as I see it, is a preemptive strike to take the fire out of John McCain who has vowed to kick Obama’s rear in this debate. Obama has provided his allies in the media with ammunition to help ward off blows from McCain.
He is a slick little politician but he is not change. He is typical Chicago politics and he will say or do anything to win.
My friend Eric has a good primer for John McCain and it is worth the read for all others. It lays out the questions Obama has failed to answer and that the media failed to investigate.
Obama talks tough after poor showing
Aug 20, 2008 Political
Barry Obama is fresh off his Hawaiian vacation and is not too happy because he got his head handed to him at Saddleback and now is five points behind John McCain in the national polls. In order to regain momentum after being punished at the religious forum Obama has decided to extend his tough talk past his post forum tantrum. He told a group in North Carolina:
“Our job in this election is not just ‘win,’ although I’m a big believer in winning,” Obama said during the rally. “I don’t intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against.”
“He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don’t have time for that mess,” Obama said. My Way News
Barry is trying to talk tough and wants people to believe he is a big believer in winning but that is simply not the case. Barack Hussein Obama is a big believer in personally winning because he is a politician and a self centered one at that. He is opposed to America winning and has described policies he will implement as president that would assure us of a loss in Iraq. He has already gone against the most successful tactic in the war and stated that they would not work. He wanted us to come home in shame so he opposed any new tactics and has refused to admit they were successful. Obama has even said he would not employ them even knowing what he does today. In other words, he would take the path of defeat.
Leave it to Barry to bring out the tough guy, punk in the hood, drug using, Chicago gangsta talk in this election. He mentioned that McCain does not know what he is up against. Barry, you are from Chicago. We all know what McCain is up against. He will face more votes from that place than there are registered voters. He will face voters who have been dead for years. He will face an electorate that will be bullied and intimidated by the Mayor and his thugs who will do anything in order to ensure your victory. This is what Richard Nixon faced in 1960 and it is what John McCain will face in 2008. Nothing has changed in the crime ridden Chicago political landscape in 48 years. Is he statement about McCain not knowing a veiled swipe at his age?
John McCain spent years being beaten and tortured by very bad people. He was abused and suffered physical and emotional wounds that took a long time to heal. What makes Barry think that John McCain will be threatened by a two bit hack from Chicago who has not quite gotten the hood out of his blood?
The reality is, Barry does not know what hit him. He has no time for Paris and Britney but he has time to play on the beach. The ads have hurt him and they have done so because they are accurate. Obama has celebrity status and he is viewed as a rock star. These are words that are used by his supporters and McCain seized upon them. Couple this with the messianic, cult like worship that his party, from the leadership down, showers us with on a daily basis and the McCain folks have a lot of ammunition courtesy of the other side.
What specifically is John McCain up against? Barack Obama is a Senator who is in his first term. He has spent more time campaigning than he has in the office to which he was elected. He has no legislative accomplishments as a US Senator and very few, if any, as an Illinois politician. His major claim to leadership is the fact he was a community organizer. That effort was marginal at best and provided no results for the community but a lot of money for his friends. Obama has no military experience, no leadership experience (I don’t think his claims count) and he has an unremarkable record. Obama has less experience for this job than Clarence Thomas had for the Supreme Court when he was selected. Obama said Thomas did not have the experience he needed when he was selected. What does that tell us about Barry? John McCain graduated from the Naval Academy two years before Obama was born and has more time serving this country than Barack Obama has on this planet.
The truth of the matter is that Barry thought he was on a cake walk. He has bought into his own hype. He believes he is “The One” and that the time is his. Hillary started out thinking that and look where she is.
Obama is talking tough because he thinks that John McCain has questioned his patriotism. McCain’s people point out they are questioning Obama’s experience. In reality, it is Obama who questioned McCain’s patriotism with his “Buy American, Vote Barack Obama” campaign. That campaign makes it clear that Obama is the true American Patriot but does not use the words to say it. I pointed out that Obama said he would never question someone else’s patriotism but that he did so in that new campaign. Obama only cries that his patriotism is being attacked so he has a reason to go on the warpath. He is making excuses so he can blame his lackluster performance on the attack ads. He believes that it must be the ads because everyone accepts the messiah.
Barry, be careful about the tough talk. People might expect you to back it up. You might think that the crafty veteran has no idea of what he is up against but I think he has been through much tougher times than anything you could possibly throw at him. I also know that if you start talking tough you might end up getting slapped around a bit by an old guy who has dealt with people tougher than you could ever hope to be.
As for your character. You have lied about too many things to count and you believe in killing infants. That says enough about your character right there.
You, young man, have no idea what you are up against…
Obama’s Crude Oil Plan
Aug 2, 2008 Political
Nancy Pelosi has called the Republican plan to drill America’s oil resources a hoax. Pelosi and many of her Democratic partners have been opposed to America drilling for its own oil for quite some time and it matters not to them that the money we pay for oil goes to people who do not like us very much. Truthfully though, it did not matter to most when the price of oil was low.
Now that it is high and people are feeling the pinch, Republicans and many Blue Dog Democrats want to drill our own resources. The problem is that Nancy Pelosi will not allow the issue to come up for a vote. Pelosi claimed that the Democrats would work for Americans to find solutions. They were not going to obstruct like the other party. The Democrats obstructed when they were the minority and now that they are in control they, under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid, have done everything to ensure that items they do not like never see the light of day.
Republicans staged a coup yesterday by staying and debating the drilling issue long after the Speaker had banged the gavel of adjournment. That gavel signaled the beginning of a 5 week, taxpayer paid, vacation. Yep, Congress will be in recess for the entire month of August. This, of course, is in addition to the week long holidays they take all year and the end of work as the election approaches. Can anyone explain why we pay them so much for so little? They never work.
Anyway, Pelosi had the lights turned off, the cameras turned off and the microphones shut down but that did not keep the Republicans from continuing to debate the issue while the Democrats left ensuring at least 5 more weeks will pass before this issue is addressed again. The issue now becomes, did Barry Obama add Pelosi’s name to the never ending stream of people who are ending up under his bus?
Barack Obama, who was once very opposed to drilling our own oil so much so that he chided John McCain for changing his position of the subject, has now changed positions on the subject. Yes, in June Obama stated that McCain had changed his position because of political expediency and that drilling would produce no oil for 10 years. Yesterday, the sainted one, stated that he would be open to drilling our own oil. He stated that he would make the compromise in order to have a path to alternative energies as long as we did it safely. In other words, he is now taking the very same position that McCain took only when McCain took it, it was a political move and when Obama takes it, it is compromise.
How will Nancy Pelosi look at Obama’s words? Will she say that his plan to drill is a hoax? Will others who called McCain a flip flopper and only changing for political reasons now call Barry a flip flopper who changed for political reasons? The absolute truth is that Obama DID change for political reasons. If he really felt compromise was in order he would have jumped on board when McCain did (and if he were the leader he wants you to believe he is, he would have been the first to propose it). The only reason Obama is jumping in now is because his poll numbers are flat (and Democrats are nervous) and he is tied with McCain. He realizes that people from all political backgrounds want to drill and he is pandering to them in order to get votes.
The important thing to remember is that John McCain was first on this issue just as he was on the surge. McCain was right about the surge while Obama was saying it would not work. To this day Obama will not admit he was wrong. Now McCain was first out of the gate on drilling for our oil and Obama criticized the position and, like his position on the surge, said it would not work. He stuck with the hard left and their desire to have $10.00 a gallon gas. Obama was Barry come lately. In other words, McCain demonstrated leadership and Obama demonstrated a lack of it. He followed the leader on this one. Don Surber notes that this position changed in just one day:
The Empty Suit on drilling on Thursday, as blogged by the New York Times:
“It won’t lower prices today. It won’t lower prices during the next Administration. While this won’t save you at the pump, it sure has done a lot to help Senator McCain raise campaign dollars.”
The Empty Suit on Friday, from the NYT:
“If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage — I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done.”
Now who is trying to raise campaign dollars?
Here is where the fun will begin. Obama has made it clear that he disagreed with McCain on this issue in the past and had unflattering things to say about him because of it. All the liberal media and the toadies who bow down to the greatness of Obama have been claiming that drilling our own oil will not work and that McCain is out of touch and it won’t help in the short term and any number of other reasons it was a bad idea. What will they say now that the sainted one in OK with drilling? Will they now say it is a brilliant idea? This is the way they play the game. Idiots like Keith Olberman decry George Bush as a criminal for supporting a bill that gives cell phone companies immunity but when Obama votes for it, he demonstrated courage. That is how this will be viewed. Obama will be hailed as a genius who is ahead of his time. Unfortunately, he was way late to the party on this one.
Pay attention over the next few weeks and see how the tone of the debate changes in the liberal media now that the sainted one agrees with drilling. Watch and see how many people change their positions as well. What will really be interesting is seeing how Pelosi reacts to this. It was a hoax when Republicans were pushing it. How will she view it from the Messiah?
Keep in mind that no matter what happens drilling was the plan from Republicans while Democrats refused debate on the issue. Now watch and see who tries to take credit if they change position.
Obama is pandering for votes. He already said he was happy with high gas prices but just wished they had risen more slowly. The Democrats have already stated they would be fine with $10.00 a gallon gas and Obama was totally opposed to this plan until his poll numbers fell flat. However, in two months Obama will be saying he has been consistent in his position on this and has always espoused it.
We do not need these people running the country.

Kennedy is Ill but Still a Politician
May 20, 2008 Opinion, Political
Having said that, I imagine that this might be how things played out over the weekend. Senator Kennedy had a seizure and an ambulance was called. He had another seizure in route to the hospital. He was briefly at a small hospital before being airlifted to Mass General, a very good hospital. They ran some tests and did a CAT scan of his head. It was at this time they discovered his tumor. The doctors informed him that he had a tumor and they needed to do more tests to grade it and see how far along it was.
Dr.: Senator, do you want us to release any of this information?
Kennedy: How long will it take to do the tests you want to do?
Dr.: The tests can be accomplished in a few hours and we should have results back no later than Tuesday.
Kennedy: Tuesday huh. Let’s not say anything right now except that you are running tests. You see, Clinton is going to trounce Obama in Kentucky but he will win in Oregon.
Dr.: Everyone already knows that. It is all they talk about on the news but what does it have to do with your condition.
Kennedy: Its like this. I wait until Tuesday afternoon or so to disclose that I have a tumor. That bombshell will dominate the news and overshadow Clinton’s big win. All they will talk about is me. Then, since Oregon is three hours behind their polls will close when it is around 10pm in the East and most folks will be in bed so Wednesday will be all about Obama.
Dr.: I am not particularly comfortable playing politics with your health.
Kennedy: Now look here. This is my health information and I say it cannot be released until Tuesday and if it is released any earlier I will take you for a ride in my car, if you know what I mean. It is all about politics and I intend to take the thunder away from Clinton and help little Barack Osama, er, Obama er Osama Obama out.
Dr.: Sigh
Ted Kennedy has been a politician most of his life and it is all he knows. In all seriousness though, he is very sick and the limited information we are getting does not seem particularly encouraging. Some say he has a chance to live about three more years and others say, given his age and the assumption that it is inoperable, he has about a year.
I have no love for the man and cannot stand his politics. I feel he has been bad for America despite the accolades he is getting from everyone. However, he is a human being and I would not be so uncaring as to show joy over his illness like the liberals do every time Dick Cheney goes to the hospital. They hold gleeful death watches and hope this time it is for real. I cannot do that no matter how much I dislike the man.
My prayers are with him and his family. I pray he recovers but my experience tells me that is not likely and that he does not have much longer to be here. I would suggest that he resign from the Senate and enjoy life with his family doing the things he likes to do and die happy and with dignity. I am sure he will consider that but not before he helps Barry defeat Hillary.
