They Really Are Deranged: Yes, Enough Is Enough
So now the media really cares precisely which foot of Sarah Palin may or may not have been across a border on one overseas trip? Kornblut, who already has a story which had to be edited to at least make it appear truthful (WaPo didn’t disclose that), citing the Globe.
WASILLA, Alaska — Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America — which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.
Obama aides described the new revisions to Palin’s account as part of a growing pattern of deception.
Okay, that does it – I’ve had it. Aren’t there some overseas travel and subsequent events in Obama’s life the media seems to not care about at all? Isn’t that fair game to discuss given the above?
Maybe it’s time the media did some serious looking into the early travels of a fellow who wants to be President, not Vice President of the United States – Barack Obama.
This isn’t crazy Obama Muslim Manchurian candidate stuff. Remember the Clintonite who off-handedly dropped the "drug dealer" line during the primaries? Well, anyone can source this below based upon MSM accounts, the news at the time or the few simple links provided. It’s certainly enough to make me curious about some things.
By 1980 at Occidental Obama ran partly with a circle of wealthy, drug using Pakistani friends. He traveled to Pakistan between Occidental and Columbia in 1981. That was during the Second Military Era (1977-1988) – Pakistan was under Sharia Law and not the most welcoming to foreign visitors, especially without some graft or connections.
Based upon documented accounts, Obama seems to have also traveled the country-side, not just in the cities. By 1981 Pakistan had become the world’s number one supplier of Heroin. Upon his return Obama took up residence with one of the drug using Pakistanis in a run down, presumably drug infested part of NYC in an apartment they couldn’t qualify for based on income.
For a college kid out of California via Hawaii who ends up in a NYC slum via Pakistan partying with admitted drug users – using well beyond what Obama has ever admitted to, especially given the particular era, that Pakistan voyage is one very curious trip no matter how you slice it. And I don’t mean for any possible Muslim/terror related reasons.
For example, if they had to lie about income to get the apartment cited below – how is it they paid for it seems a fair question? Did he deal drugs at Columbia? He certainly seems to have had the location and friends for it and the Obama campaign has gone to great lengths to cover up that period of his life. Frankly, I want to know why and I think America deserves to know, as well.
In 1981, Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia. In between, he traveled to Pakistan.
"He was clearly shocked by the economic disparity he saw in Pakistan. He couldn’t get over the sight of rural peasants bowing to the wealthy landowners they worked for as they passed," says Mifflin, who makes a brief appearance in Obama’s memoir.
When Obama arrived in New York, he already knew Siddiqi — a friend of Chandoo’s and Hamid’s from Karachi who had visited Los Angeles.
The Obama campaign declined to discuss Obama’s time at Columbia and his friendships in general.
In about 1982, Siddiqi and Obama got an apartment at a sixth-floor walk-up on East 94th Street. Siddiqi managed to get the apartment thanks to subterfuge.
"We didn’t have a chance in hell of getting this apartment unless we fabricated the lease application," Siddiqi said.
Siddiqi fudged his credentials, saying he had a high-paying job at a catering company, ….
While Obama has acknowledged using marijuana and cocaine during high school in Hawaii, he writes in the memoir that he stopped using soon after his arrival in New York. His roommate had no such scruples.
But they obviously hung out together cruising clubs and such? What’s next? Obama going to put designated driver on his resume right below community organizer? Is anyone buying that? Come on, Barry – what are you hiding from us? Fess up!
"We were always competing," he said. "You know how it is. You go to a bar and you try hitting on the girls. He had a lot more success."
…. The two, along with others, went out for nights on the town. "He wasn’t entirely a hermit," Siddiqi said.
Siddiqi said his female friends thought Obama was "a hunk."
“Upon his return Obama took up residence with one of the drug using Pakistanis in a run down, presumably drug infested part of NYC in an apartment they couldn’t qualify for based on income.”
Do not presume. Alas, having lived on East 96th Street in the late 70s, and having lived on East 80th street in 1980 and 1981, I have to inform you that this was not a drug infested part of New York City. Sixth floor walk-up sounds skeevy, but there were plenty of these around. The Upper East Side up to and beyond 96th street may have had its share of young white drug users and drug using clubs, but it was a (relatively) safe and clean area. For drug infested areas at that time you’d have to go north quite a bit.
“Do not presume.”
Yes, Gerard – but isn’t that precisely the issue? As Obama seems to want to keep this part of his life such a mystery, one then can’t turn around and complain about another’s presumption. Gee, maybe he had a nice place. But then, you might expect that from a one shot to pay for college mule, or a dealer in H. Just sayin’.
And unless or until Obama wants to get serious about the parts of his life he is hiding, I suspect he’ll be open too all kinds of presumption from here on in. Especially given the microscope they constantly prod the media to apply to Palin.
Given all that, I don’t feel the least bit bad about presuming whatever it is I do.

Voters and the media are now exercising due diligence before Election Day, and they are meeting resistance from Mr. Obama in checking his past. Earlier this year, the AP tracked down Mr. Obama’s New York-era roommate, “Sadik,” in Seattle after the campaign refused to reveal his name. Sohale Siddiqi, his real name, confirmed Mr. Obama’s account that he turned serious in New York and “stopped getting high.” “We were both very lost,” Mr. Siddiqi said. “We were both alienated, although he might not put it that way. He arrived disheveled and without a place to stay.” For some reason the Obama camp wanted this to stay out of public view.
It’s Spanish Harlem.

excerpts
Frank Neubauer, 73, who has lived all his life in the building except for two years in Brooklyn, confirmed Mr. Obama’s account that it was a rough place back then. “They had a lot of drug users in the building, everybody knew it,” he said. (Three generations of his family have lived in the building, including his son, who now lives on the same floor.) “Nobody paid any attention. People knew it was going on and that was it, and eventually the cops came and cleaned up the building.”
Violent crime was also rampant. “I had a gun put to my head in the lobby,” said David W. Burns, who lived in the building for two years in the early 1980s. “It was pretty late, 3 a.m. in the morning, I passed this guy on the street, but for some reason I forgot about him,” he said. “He just followed me into the vestibule. Between two doors you’re pretty vulnerable.” The man took only his money. “Thank God.”
Sorry, I misspoke, Spanish Harlem starts at 96th St. Obama lived on 94th.
Haha. Provincial Jersey boy thinks all of New York is ‘drug-infested’. What a man of the world! Have a nice night out at Applebee’s tonight.
“Given all that, I don’t feel the least bit bad about presuming whatever it is I do.”
Translation from GOPese…”I don’t feel bad at all about lying through my teeth and neither does the McCain campaign”
The point of this all is that the McCain campaign pointed to this trip and it’s itinerary as proof of foreign affairs experience so they tried to build up the resume a bit. Here’s the thing, never plump up your resume when applying for a job, someone might just look into it.
Of course now the story is out that they’re trying to plaump up their crowd numbers too.
Obama’s Lost Years
I think you better read this….
“Here’s the thing, never plump up your resume when applying for a job, someone might just look into it.”
LOL!!!!!
Unless you are the great Xerxes!!
Sorry that information is not available and those records are sealed seems to be the Xerxes mantra!
Ole Barry probally did some great Hash on that trip to Pakistan with his muslim buddies!
No, this isn’t crazy Obama Muslim Manchurian candidate stuff. It’s way dumber.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Palins_travels.html
Interesting stuff, Dan. Incidentally, voters might want to know some more details about John McCain’s past as well.
McCain is known to have dated strippers in the past. Did you also know that he spent time in Southeast Asia earlier in his life? The sexual services of prostitutes, male and female were widely available to American military men in Southeast Asian cities during the time McCain spent R&R time in that region, prior to being captured by the North Vietnamese.
By the mid-1960s, Southeast Asian cities were known as hotbeds of underage male and female prostitution. McCain was known during this period as a ‘partying man’.
I and other voters would like to know more about McCain’s time spent in hotbeds of underage prostitution.
Also, these questions aren’t crazy McCain whoremonger pedophile candidate stuff.
So Palin didn’t take the money for the BTN, kill the project and use the money to build up infrastructure in Alaska? Funny, that sure sounds like being opposed to it and saying “No Thanks”.
Her aides were wrong about the trip, it was corrected, but the desperate leftists so badly want it to be a lie.
Want to talk lies?
Alinsky is just some guy in my neighborhood.I don’t really know him.
I never really knew the Rev. Right had such views.
My community organizing was a success.
The Selma march in 1965 is responsible for my birth.
I won’t raise taxes on the middle class.
I never agreed I would meet the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea without pre-conditions.
I never said Iran does not pose a serious threat to America.
No you leftist halfwits, it means he’s tired of you and your kind lying, excusing it, then making up lies about Palin. Suck on that you hypocrites.
This obama fellow scares me , first he was raised by muslim stepfathers in Muslim countries , came to the USA , becomes a christian only because he married and his pastor condems America just like the muslims have , gives me an uneasy feeling , No he doesnt get my vote , no way no how , and of course some will say , ” your saying all this cause he is black ” no I would be happy to vote for a decent black man and the only one that I can think of that is level headed and tells it like it is , Bill Cosby , well he isnt running so my vote is McCain and Palin … eat your heart out Barrack
That’s it? You’ve had it?
Gee, that’s too bad, because we’re just getting started!
Here’s a clue: No one gives a shit about your crank consipiracy theories when McCain and Palin are telling bald-faced, trivially falsifiable lies day after day on television.
It’s starting to look like they can’t help themselves. Their brains are broken in some fundamental way and they just keep lying and lying. The worse they get caught, the worse they lie. It’s like some kind of destructive feedback loop.
Here’s another clue: You shouldn’t have nominated a candidate who hates your party. McCain is 72. He doesn’t want to be president. He wants to destroy the Republican party. He’s having a great time. He’s laughing at you!
And so is everyone else.
Unbelievable. It appears that you’ll go to such lengths as defamation, so the Democrats don’t win. You claim that Democrats are scared out of their minds, but I think that it’s just Republicans trying to convince themselves otherwise. The McCain campaign and conservative bloggers are like a dying man fighting for life or a junkie looking for a fix. Your willing to sacrifice everything, including your honor and dignity, in order to win. It’s pathetic. I feel sorry for you.
Obama’s people wetting the bed

Barack Obama’s adviser assures Democrats, ‘we have a plan’
Senator Barack Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, has responded to Democrats nervous about the Republicans’ narrow lead in the polls, describing them as engaging in “hand-wringing and bed-wetting” and reassuring them that he had “a game plan and a strategy”.
Heh…look at the liberals tilt into the wind, defying anyone to make a claim about their boy, even though he hasn’t produced jack-shit since he first farted on the floor of the Illinois senate.
Face it, mooks, your boy is tumbling like a weed and he seems unable to stop himself. Stupid ads about McCain’s email prowess and utter dumbfuckheaded comments questioning Mac’s patriotism? Good lawd, if Obimbo were any dumber they would make him head of the DNC.
It’s over for Oblibmo, you brainless teabaggers just haven’t figured it out yet.
39 half-truths or lies from Obama

Black Talk Host Says Obama Not Truthful; Reveals Facts
Jim Kouri
September 13, 2008
While the mainstream news media attempt to destroy — yes, destroy — Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin, they cannot resist the impulse to overlook the lies, half-truths and deceptions of Barack Obama and his comrades on the left.
Terry Anderson, an African-American talk show host in Los Angeles, provides a list of 39 things Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama claims are facts, but further investigation shows they are not exactly correct.
Senator Obama is easily sailing through his campaign without media scrutiny, while reporters rummage through Gov. Sarah Palin’s past in order to discover anything that may hurt her politically.
When I tire of reading the American media’s shrill interpretation of the campaign I turn to papers like the Financial Times of London and to it’s columnists like Gerard Baker. For a sane and detached interpretation of how things are going I highly recommend his columns, especially yesterday’s called “Barack Obama the speechmaker is being rumbled”.

“— that Pakistan voyage is one very curious trip no matter how you slice it. And I don’t mean for any possible Muslim/terror related reasons. —”
I sure would want to have it looked to for Muslim/terror related reasons.
Radical Muslims cannot be trusted, they are programmed to lie (al-Taqqiya), play cover-up, and smear the opposition, just like any good hyper-partisan Democrats (which includes 95% of the MSM) are also trained to do.
love this line = they’re the most arrogant bunch I’ve ever seen
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2909844/Barack-Obama-under-fire-for-ignoring-advice-on-how-to-beat-John-McCain.html
The Sunday Telegraph has learned that senators, governors and union leaders who have experience of winning hard-fought races in swing states have been bombarding Obamas campaign headquarters with telephone calls offering advice. But many of those calls have not been returned.
A senior Democratic strategist, who has played a prominent role in two presidential campaigns, told The Sunday Telegraph: “These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics. They’re the most arrogant bunch Ive ever seen. They won’t accept that they are losing and they won’t listen.”
I’m tired of playing defense with the main-stream media. What do we need to do to set them back on their heels and instill some fear in the hearts of those pathetic reporters and editors?
Back in high school, we all knew the school paper types. Sniveling weasels who used the school paper to lash back at people who actually /had/ lives, took risks, and made a difference. Fortunately, the school paper loser knew that if he printed some manufactured crap, he risked having the tar beaten out of him by half the school football team as a consequence.
Today, the MSM sniveling weasels believe they are risk-free. Nobody’s going to touch them, as they push out this garbage. If we’re going to put a limit on these attacks, we need to help them feel a consequence for their actions. What’s it going to take? How can we put them back on defense and make these pathetic humans crawl back into the hole they came from?
This is ridiculous! Isn’t it obvious Obama has been sent by the Lizardmen from planet X to prepare the Earth for an invasion. Obama is actually the second part of the invasion plan since Barbara Bush had sexual relations with one of the Lizardmen, spawning little hybrid Bush Jr. WAKE AND SMELL THE CONSPIRACY DAN!
Let’s face it, Sarah Palin is a lying airhead whose foreign policy experience was a junket to Kuwait, the tourist train from Skagway to the Yukon, and a booze cruise in Cancun. All of this would be funny if McCain wasn’t obviously suffering from Alzheimer’s right now.
I don’t know about Obambi’s building..but I lived on E. 94th St. between 5th and Madison and I can tell you that it was considered the Upper East side..still is… posh even back then..it was a studio .5th floor walk up..and even back then it was not cheap..neighbor a few doors down was Paul Simon…so I doubt that where he lived would be considered a slum…
How can we put them back on defense and make these pathetic humans crawl back into the hole they came from?
Vote with your feet, jackass. Stop consuming media like a starving person. You do believe in market capitalism, don’t you?
They are all Liars, they Lie. Did you know that they lied about this and then they lied about that. I know because Huffington and Koz told me so. So there, I mean they’re just lying and then they will just lie to you.
The more you folks snivel the more the American public just gets more energized by the screed you losers are using in your quest to annoint Xerxes!
Every troll post has the obligitory “liar” in it just like your god king Xerxes uses the “McCain = Bush3″ talking point in every line he speaks.
We all know how well that one is working!
So, please keep it up loons, the election is slowly slipping away and all you can do is come up with, “They lied”
Priceless!
Wow, I mean you guys just dish up slander and lies like it’s nothing. You’re so habituated to making shit up out of whole cloth it’s become second nature to you.
Taking Riehl’s approach, would not the following be plausible? Dan has been nothing but unreservedly and unconditionally supportive of George Bush for many years. In fact, if Bush’s rectum was a city Dan’s nose would be its mayor. That’s a pretty cozy association right there, don’t you think? By Dan’s standard’s I mean. It’s common knowledge that Bush had (and likely still has) an alcohol addiction. He admits to having abused alcohol until he was forty. He also abused cocaine. Has Dan ever been troubled by this illegal activity? No. WHY? Perhaps because Dan himself is a user. He certainly thinks and types like one.
1981 Gentrification had not reached 94th St. It was still a bad area. And anything above 96th was worse.
“Alinsky is just some guy in my neighborhood.I don’t really know him.”
Seeing Alinsky died in 1972 when Obama was about nine and hadn’t come to Illinois yet, he probably doesn’t know him, pea brain.
I heard on the train today that the guy’s name isn’t Barack and he isn’t even black!!! His real name is Herbert Nevenlauger and he puts make-up on every day just to fool us.
You are a tool.
So, D Heiress,: “By the mid-1960s, Southeast Asian cities were known as hotbeds of underage male and female prostitution. McCain was known during this period as a ‘partying man’.

Did you, Heiress, know that some say Obama was one of the young male prostitutes you introduced into the filthy plasma of Leftist bilge?
If you’re going to claim you visited troops in Iraq, you might actually have wanted to do that. Of course if it was Obama claiming to have visited troops in Iraq when he hadn’t, I’m sure Republicans would be soooooo understanding.
The Straight Talk Express has turned into little more than a litany of lies and distortions and – the real danger for McSame – the media is starting to push back.

“McCain’s straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually will backfire with the very types of independent-thinking voters that were so attracted to him.”
Did you, Heiress, know that some say Obama was one of the young male prostitutes you introduced into the filthy plasma of Leftist bilge?
Some are saying that McCain molested Obama when Obama was a defenseless child? I didn’t know that. I bet voters would like to know more, though. Thanks for bringing this up!
“Some are saying that McCain molested Obama when Obama was a defenseless child?”
Hahaha. Go ahead, pump more dreck into the overflowing sewer of lib accusations. The more of this you do, the more your fellow Americans (are you an American?) will love you for it and certainly want to hand the reins of power to you and yours.

Your candidate is an adulterer whose wife is a drug addict who stole prescription drugs from her own medical charity. Somehow, she managed to escape prosecution — how about investigating THAT? At least that is something factual, as opposed to guilt-by-association BS like you wingnuts try to throw against Obama. There isn’t anything to “hide” about his time at Columbia. By his own description, he was very deep into his academic life there, making up for what he felt was lost time in his teenage years. As for any use of weed or cocaine — how exactly is any of that (YEARS ago) relevant, when your candidate helped his wife escape prosecution for stealing prescription drugs in the 1990s??
It blows my mind how low the right has sunk this year — suddenly, adultery, drug addiction, teen pregnancy are all things to be admired and celebrated. The same self-righteous punks who have attacked Democrats for being of “low morals” are suddenly embracing all the things they previously thought were destroying our country (and for which they laid all blame at the feet of Democrats). What we are witnessing here, people, is the death of the Republican party. All you had to do was look at all the old white people who made up the majority of their convention attendees to see it. Most of those people — and their candidate — likely won’t be alive in ten years. And neither will their party. It’s just becoming a caricature of itself.
Both parties seem to be controlled by a bunch of feckless idiots. Hence Idiotarian Party A and Idiotarian-Socialist Party B.
Good heavens, when will the American people wake up from their MSM-induced stupor and see that there are other choices than the Two Parties of Tweedledumb (R) and Tweedledumber (D)…!
Vote Constitution Party, or *some other third party*… instead of the Twin Parties of Dissolution and Defeat.
Maybe he was arms dealing. Maybe he was insider trading. Dan Riehl is, according to a blogger who isn’t insane, an “unmitigated asshole.”
I call BS..there was no way that 94th was a bad area…I lived there in the mid 70′s and I know….
There is no way Obama was in Pakistan when you say he was. I have personal (eighth hand) knowledge that Obama was selling human body parts in Khartoum at that time.
Get your facts straight, Dan!!!
Wait, this just in…Obama was not in Khartoum; that was his clone. Obama was attending culinary college learning how to prepare human flesh to serve in public school cafeterias. Sorry for the earlier confusion.
Wow, their fear and despair are palpable. They are going stark, staring nuts. In a way I don’t blame them. They were deluded into thinking that Americans believed the way they themselves and old Europe did about the coming election. Now they finally must accept that America is split about 50/50 in spite of all the artillery the MSM has thrown suicidally into the battle. Can we get back to the issues now?
Just had a interesting read of this page from an Australian point of view.I find it very odd that every comment from a ‘Democrat’ is mostly filled with HATE that is almost palpable.They don’t seem able to get their heads around the fact that ‘the dear leader’(as he wishes to be known)is a hollow person without any real life experiences and has nothing whatsoever to offer the US or even the World for that matter. Has anyone asked him about the drug days and the trip to Pakistan at a time that Americans were totally un-welcome? I have no idea why the Dims chose him for the ‘big job’.
I think the shonky interview with Goo-Goo Charlie with all its cutting up and re-editing was the end for ‘the dear leader’ along with all the other lies and falsehoods spread around the world by a Loony Left media in many countries.
So it all comes down to a simple choice for the American people. You go with the substance and experience of John McCain and Sarah Palin Both proven and putting Americans FIRST and not selling out to the evil side of the world.
So to all you Dimocrat bloggers, North Korea says thank you and come on by soon! But bring your own rice.

Info note; The Liberal Party in Australia is actually the Conserative side of politics. The Australian Labour Party is run by the unions and has a creed mixture of Marx,Lenin,Mao and Stalin and tom-foolery. The wacky Democrat party was wiped out in last years election. The Labour party scraped in and is in the process of wrecking the country after only a few months in power!
Amazing, simply amazing.
Thank you, Kenny from Australia, for your insight, and for popping in for a visit.
Indeed, it doesn’t take much for the socialism of so-called “labour” parties (of which our Democrats try their best to fool the citizenry into thinking that they are all about the “Johnny Everyman” labourer and such.
Here in the States, they are largely a pack of overfed, over-”educated” pompous yet empty twits who preach their noxious message of income re-distribution and taxation.
Obama says that he won’t touch middle class taxes.
Yeah, and I have a bridge in Alaska for sale if you wish to purschase it on the cheap.
And the hatred level from this “democratic” lot?
I think our Democrats might be an even match for the Daleks on the hate factor…

Heh. Here we go:
Dalek – (noun) pr. “DAH-LECK”
1) “A member of a fictitious race of extraterrestrial mutants regularly appearing in the television programme w:Doctor Who, Doctor Who, known primarily for their lack of compassion and their bent on domination through extermination of other beings.”
http://www.allwords.com/word-Dalek.html
Wiki Excerpt:
“— The word “Dalek” has entered the Oxford English Dictionary[5] and other major dictionaries; the Collins Dictionary defines it rather broadly as “any of a set of fictional robot-like creations that are aggressive, mobile, and produce rasping staccato speech”…
The term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe people, usually figures of authority, who act like robots unable to break from their programming. —”
Ah, here goes: a perfect video of our little Democratic friends in action!
See how they simply can’t handle being told… “No”.

Good comment from Australia but Kenny forgot the latest on ‘the dear leader’. An Australian media website discovered Bambam’s real birth name was Regginald but Michelle Obamabam thought that was to long so she shortened it and calls him Reggin off camera and around the house.
Thought that was very appropriate and would like to share it around more.
