Oba-Slum Lord

Update: Yeah all I can say is WOW, too. Obama draws 100,000? Maybe they should show them the video linked below.

Doug has a report with some bothersome overhead pics detailing Obama's Hope and Change reality.

Must see video here via The Boston Globe.

Then take a look at Habitat Co. "Management makes the difference"?

Well they made a ton of cash with Obama's help and kicked it back into his campaign. And the people this was all supposed to help? Just watch the video and you be the judge. This is outrageous. And the Oba-messiah couldn't even be bothered to comment when this is going on inside of his old Illinois district. What a scumbag.

I suppose the answer is more money, right? Sure. Just like the 150 million he blew at CAC without improving education one bit.

Are we seeing a pattern here? American Thinker posted on it in September.

CLINTON: "...I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago.

OBAMA: No, no, no.
(Excerpt from the January, 21, 2008, CNN Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina)

Quite an impressive crowd. And I know in reckneckistan logic rarely do folks actually listen to what is said.

Thus I will pass it on.

Senator Obama, our next President.

"John McCain is so out of touch with the struggles you are facing that he must be the first politician in history to call a tax cut for working people ‘welfare,’” Obama told a massive crowd under the infamous St. Louis arch. “The only ‘welfare’ in this campaign is John McCain’s plan to give another $200 billion in tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations in America.”

"Senator Obama, our next President."

Interesting. The last time I saw a rally like that was at...Nuremberg.

Here's some friendly advice from Han Solo: "Don't get cocky, kid."

Ok, I get more from McCain. I knew my gut instinct was correct.

[Michael]

jharp, if you're going to break Godwin's law in less than 20 words, once is sufficient. No need to be a dick in triplicate.

[Lala]

I get a lot more from McCain. My taxes also went down a lot under Bush. Even on the lower salaries where the tax cut under Obama is more there is not a big difference with McCain's.

I expect Obama will cancel the Bush tax cuts, if he is elected.

[torabora]

Remember the Clinton middle class tax cut? Of course you don't. There wasn't one. He lied about promising one when he ran.

What makes anyone believe anything will be different this time around with this guy?

I HATE voting for McAmnesty but I will never vote for a Democrat...party of voter fraud, confiscatory taxes, welfare cheats, Jim Crow and slavery. Mind you, after Bush the Republicans have got some repair to do or their IS gonna be a third party.

Oh my. Like I did not know this already. But, many do not believe it.
GOD HELP AMERICA.

New Slogan when this country turns socialist If the great one is elected will be :
ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU.
ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY...You want need to do anything, as CHANGE IS COMING.

[ET]

jharp...find a decent job yet? I'm praying for you bro. I hope you can hold out a few more months for your handout. Hang in there...26 years is not as long as it seems. Uncle Barry will rescue you from your loser status and give you some spare change you can believe in. He'll do for you what you couldn't do for you and your family...provide.

You should be so proud.

Oh my, they came to see the Messiah. THE GREAT ONE. THAT ONE.
Please remind me never ever to go to St. Louis. DAMN FOOLS ! WHAT SICKO BRAIN WASHED IDIOTS ! These people are scarry.

After staying up to watch Saturday Night Live for the 1st time in many many years to see Sarah Palin I realized why I stopped watching SNL.. The show stinks. The writing was juvenlile. I have seen funnier skits in my daughters high school. McGruber? The Write in Candidate? Sarah Palin acted with class while these neanderthals made fun of her..

[mary]

I saw it too. It was really terrible. I kept asking my friends "is there something we are missing"? The older people in our group at the "watching SNL gathering" said it was amazingly good in the 1970's. My friend's dad said "this wouldn't even be good if you were stoned". "hahaha, that sparked quite a conversation!

[mary]

Oh, and I thought that Tina Fey appeared quite rude to the Governor. If you recall, Amy Poller was very gracious to Hillary and Hillary was very gracious to Amy. I often think all the rhetoric from SNL hurt Hillary in the end.

[mary]

I think after this campaign, when the American people realize everything that the MSM refused to report, there will be a huge backlash against the MSM. Essentially, if Americans turn off their programs, their ratings will go down and advertisers will be less likely to want to fund them. They become like any other "business" in a tough economic climate. So when people are mouring the loss of Mervyns and discussing exactly how that went down, they may, in the future be discussing the fact that we lost a media outlet or two.

[Lala]

SNL was never funny and still isn't.

[Worst President Ever]

"I think after this campaign, when the American people realize everything that the MSM refused to report"

Delusional. The media's reported ad nauseum on Ayres, Wright, and every other issue McCain's attacked Obama on.

As they say: It's the economy, stupid. The public really doesn't care what Ayres did in the 60's when Obama was playing with toys in Hawaii. It cares about paying the bills today, putting kids through college and retiring at a decent age.

All McCain's attacks have done is help Obama raise even more money - a whopping $150 million last month.

McCain's got no new ideas, has been a lousy candidate running an even lousier campaign. He's embarrassed himself with his BS attacks and robo-calls. He deserves to lose.

[mary]

Actually, it is starting yo disturb many that we will have a democratic congress and a democratic president. If you look at media ocverage you will see that the media has become entertainment. Gone are the true investigative journalists who have truly been replaced with unthinking doog looking people.

[Worst President Ever]

Conservatives weren't worried about it when the Republicans controlled all of government, and created the messes we're in. So spare me the sudden fear of one party rule.

There's plenty of good investigative reporting going on, you just have to turn off the TV to find most of it.

[mary]

WPE, yes there is some but most americans get their news from osundbites on the television on the run or from shows like the soup and John Stewart and Colbert. Most Americans go in and vote and don't really get allthe information.

[Worst President Ever]

This election, people will largely vote their pocketbook - shrinking bank accounts, retirement, and house values will do that. They don't need to do a lot of research to understand that McCain's economic policies are largely the status quo while Obama represents a shift from Republican economics of the past eight years.

[mary]

WPE, Eventually people will dissect the crisis. In fact, people are already saying they aren't sure we even have a crisis. Not regular folks, not conspiracy theorists (a nicer way of saying it than nut jobs) people who work on Wall Street have started saying this. And they aren't saying it because they want to hear themselves talk, they aree saying it because it doesn't fit the classical model that they are accustomed to dealing with. Eventually, Kashikari and his merry band of reverse engineers will figure out what happened to have liquidity and the commercial paper markets dry up. Eventually, from what I've heard about Kashikari, he will have all his i's dotted and all his t's crossed and he WILL know exactly what happened.

When he does, it may not show that the "republican economic policies" had anything to do with it. It may show that the democratic congress, when warned by the republicans, failed to act. There will be an interesting election cycle after that as dems are wholesale booted out by their constituencies. You know the people to whom they broke their promises and trust.

[Worst President Ever]

Again, you're delusional - at least I hear people are saying that. Wall Street doesn't have a whole lot of credibility these days - if you haven't noticed. Too bad they hadn't decidexd we weren't in a crisis a few weeks ago - before they want to Washington begging to be bailed out.

It's Republican policies - specifically the Church of Deregulation - that has gotten us into the mess we have today. The bill comes due this election and the Republicans will be paying up big time.

[mary]

I'm not going to go into it with you because your mind is shut like a trap, however, I didn't notice anyone from the street begging for any money. Fannie and Freddie are GSE's and AIG is an insurance company. The IB's would have taken care of themselves if left alone. The policies which hurt the above mentioned were spawned by Bill Clinton and Alan Greenspan. You are extremely dishonest if you think this is purely GWB's fault, it is not, the democratic congress is extremely culpable, particularly, Dodd and Frank. But, without knowing about WS, just keep spewing the BS for the common man.

BTW, McCain and fourteen other senators tried to stop this in 2003 and they were blocked at every term by the dems. You see, when you have no horse in the race, when you haven't been brainwashed into believing that a complex problem can be blamed on one person, one party, you can look at the situation objectively.

Feel sorry for you. You won't have a clue until it is too late.

[Worst President Ever]

Here you go, throw your Republican Talking Points away, clear your mind, then read this and see if it helps clear your confusion:

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/11/stiglitz200811

Strange - in one post you write to say how Wall Street says everything's fine - no crisis here. Next you blame Democrats for causing what you just claimed doesn't exist, and credit McCain for trying to stop it. Contradictory?

[mary]

Not really contradictory. You have to really have watched this for a while to understand my posting I think. Suffice it to say, you boil my posts down
to black and white when in reality the entire situation is rampant with shades of gray. Essentially, the seeds were sewn for mischief and some took full advantage. There is culpability all over both parties. I really think that after this election a new party or parties will arise that have the ability to challenge the republican and democratic machines as both machines are broken. What is ubiquitous in this situation is that morality seems to be missing.

[mary]

I just re read your post. Are you saying my thoughts are republican talking points? Wow, that is scary to think that I am thinking like a republican.

[seekeronos]

Both parties are mostly full of rubbish.

The Party of the Left is just much more full of rubbish than the Party of the "Right".

Unfortunately, nothing short of a second Constitutional Convention, or an amendment that disbands and prohibits the two-party/first-past-the-post electoral system ...

Only then may we be freed from the burden of these two dinosaur parties.

A truly viable multi-party system would be an improvement.
