1378 Obama - FAIRNESS ??!!

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an expressing outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to "fail."

The petition comes after Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill Friday that they need to quit listening to Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"I think [Obama] wants me to fail," Limbaugh said. "He's more frightened of me than he is of John Boehner, which doesn't say much for our party."

• Here comes the so called 'fairness' doctrine
• Dems are running scared because they know it works
• they wanted Bush to fail for eight years and with 'drive by' national media on their side it apparently worked
• and since it works, get rid of conservative radio who almost all (not just Rush) want is Steve's horrifying socialist policies to fail. And they think that will keep them in power a little longer.
• But just remember: We're the ones who stick to our bibles and guns
• Amazing things you can learn on conservative radio
• cook turkey in a dishwasher
• POTUS = president of the United States

1380 Obama - Silence Rush

from NY Post 1/23/09
WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the proposal, the president shot back: "I won," according to aides briefed on the meeting.

"I will trump you on that."

Not that Obama was gloating. He was just explaining that he aims to get his way on stimulus package and all other legislation, sources said, noting his unrivaled one-party control of both congressional chambers.

"We are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis that has to be dealt with and dealt with rapidly," Obama said during the meeting.
Republicans say the $825 billion price tag is too big a burden for a nation crippled by debt and that it doesn't do enough to stimulate the economy by cutting taxes.

"You know, I'm concerned about the size of the package. And I'm concerned about some of the spending that's in there, [about] ... how you can spend hundreds of millions on contraceptives," House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) later said.

"How does that stimulate the economy?"

But White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs countered: "There was a lot of agreement in that room about the notion that we're facing an economic crisis unlike we've seen in quite some time ... that we must act quickly to stimulate the economy, create jobs, put money back in people's pockets."

Gibbs disagreed with those who called the meeting window dressing.

"The president is certainly going to listen to any ideas," he said.

"He will also go to Capitol Hill the beginning of next week to talk to Republican caucuses and solicit their input and their ideas."

Yesterday we had friends over for dinner. Of course the Obama friends were talking about how "we" the losers had to get onboard with the new policies.

My wife, very quietly, said " There are 50 people getting on a bus. There is no driver, so they pick one of the people to drive, because he says he knows how to get us to where we we need to be. While he's driving , some of the people realize he's acting erratically, stumbling over his lines, swearing in twice when once will suffice, ranting about Radio personalities rather than focusing on the enormous issues at hand, talking about silencing free speech, talking about infringing on basic rights like the 1st and 2nd amendments, acting intoxicated, possibly cocaine, crack or maybe just with power. He is driving erratically and endangering the lives of everyone on the bus. Do these passengers have a right to speak up??? What if this driver turns around and says "Shut Up"!!!" There was silence at our dinner table.

I don't listen to Rush, Hannity or Oriely but I don't want their voices silenced. To do so is socialism, communism, government controlled media, not good for freedom of speech or just freedom. We need voices of dissent. We need balance in the Media, not government controlled, sponsored media. If our current government wants to silence them, maybe I should start listening/watching. I have grandchildren whom I need to protect. I want to make sure they experience all sides of the political equation, to make up their own minds.

1383 Obama - Gillibrand

Slick Hilly's old job:

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- New York Governor David Paterson has selected Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, the New York Times reported.
The governor plans to announce his decision in Albany this afternoon, the newspaper said. An aide to Gillibrand confirmed that she had accepted the appointment, the Times added.

• Gillibrand is a member of the Blue Dog Coalition. She opposes gun control. She supports extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for middle class families; stem cell research; and the Children's Health and Medicare Protection Act. Gillibrand opposes attempts to partially privatize Social Security. She strongly supported passage of the 2008 Farm Bill. Gillibrand broke with former Governor Eliot Spitzer on the issue of illegal immigration, opposing his plan to issue New York State drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. She supports same-sex marriage.
• “I come from a hunting family,” said Gillibrand, after noting that her mother shoots the Thanksgiving turkey almost every year. Last fall, Gillibrand said, her mother “got a turkey” and “got a deer.” According to Gillibrand, her mother “was on her rifle team in college” and is “the best shot in our family.”
• “We appreciate hunting rights in our family,” Gillibrand said, declaring herself “very pro Second Amendment.”
• “In upstate New York, we have a very rich culture in hunting, and I think hunting rights are very important,” Gillibrand said.

1384 Obama - blackberry

It looks like Steve (Honest Ob) will get to keep his blackberry after all.
From PC World:

• Barack Obama was determined to take his Blackberry into the White House and it appears he's done it. On Monday, a government agency added a "super-encryption package" to a standard Blackberry, according to reports. It has yet to be confirmed whether the device is in fact for Obama or if he even has it yet. Bureaucrats were reluctant to approve the device for the new President, because of numerous security concerns including information leaks and the ability to get a lock on the President's location. It seems those problems may have been solved.

God calls us and now we can call the president at: OU+

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [1]

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [2]

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [3]

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [4]

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [5]

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [6]

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [7]

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [8]

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [9]

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [10]

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [11]

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [12]

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [13]

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [14]

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [15]

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [16]

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [17]

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [18]

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [19]

As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: Know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [20]

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [21]

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [22]

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [28]

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08

This is the source of our confidence — the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [30]

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [31]

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [32]

"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive ... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
BHO inaguration speach 1/20/08 [33]

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. Thank you. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

It also prohibits unreasonable search and seizure, cruel and unusual punishment, and compelled self-incrimination. The Bill of Rights also prohibits Congress from making any law respecting establishment of religion and prohibits the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. In federal criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime", guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial jury composed of members of the state or judicial district in which the crime occurred, and prohibits double jeopardy. In addition, the Bill of Rights states that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people," and reserves all powers not granted to the federal government to the citizenry or States. Most of these restrictions were later applied to the states by a series of decisions applying the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, after the American Civil War.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." —President-elect Barack Obama, delivering his Election Night victory speech in Chicago

1407 Obama - Senate replacement

Blagojevich picks former Illinois AG Roland Burris to fill Obama's Senate seat, even as Senate Dems vow to block the appointment.

• I don't get it
• Even if Burris thinks Blago is as pure as the driven snow, why would he accept the appointment? Since 99% of America thinks Blago is a crook, wouldn't that lead to 90%+ of America to think Burris is a crook. And reality is nine-tenths perception.

• "In the Illinois state Senate, Senator Obama voted 130 times 'present.' That's not yes, that's not no. That's maybe," Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a debate Monday.

A letter from Paul to Titus. (2:11-14) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

1413 Obama - Beer O nomics

SPEAKING OF BEER
Halloween connections???

Bar Stool Economics by David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

• The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
• The fifth would pay $1.
• The sixth would pay $3.
• The seventh would pay $7.
• The eighth would pay $12.
• The ninth would pay $18.
• The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

And so:

• The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
• The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
• The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
• The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
• The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
• The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,’ but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!’

‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

1414 Obama - Beer & Golf

STEVE SEEMS TO BE INTO BEER AND GOLF
BOTH USED FOR BUSINESS (POLITICAL?) DEALS


From CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry:

HONOLULU (CNN) – Many Republicans already believe President-elect Barack Obama has gotten a free ride from the national media, so they may not be happy to learn the incoming Commander-in-Chief offered to buy a round of drinks for reporters covering his working vacation on the sands of Hawaii's beaches and the greens of its lush golf courses.

Halfway through a round of golf on Sunday afternoon, Obama rolled up to the snack bar in his golf cart to find a small pool of reporters waiting to get more pictures of him enjoying a leisurely day. No doubt realizing these might not be the best images at a time of recession, Obama suggested the reporters seek some other recreation to pass the time — rather than snapping so many pics.

"Obama then told us we should be in the clubhouse at the bar having some beers," according to a pool report by Jamie Farnsworth of CBS News. "Someone asked if he would pick up the tab and he agreed before driving off to the next hole. Pool is still holding without beer.

In a separate pool report for print journalists, Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times added helpfully: "He chatted for a moment, telling the pool to have a beer and put it on his tab. No one took him up on the offer."

Aha! So the key here is reporters covering the President-elect are having more fun here in Hawaii than we had in Crawford, Texas — and 85 degrees in the middle of the afternoon here is way better than the cold winds blowing through Chicago too. But none of the journalists were corrupted by free beer — we pay our own tabs.

And just for the record: your faithful correspondent, while enjoying the wonders of Waikiki beach, never drinks — at least not on the job.

Sean Hannity

Oct. 23 2008 "Is Sean Hannity suddenly going to get on the air waves and say 'You know, I was wrong about this Obama guy, he's my man.' No, that's not going to happen. I mean's there's going to be a certain wing of the Republican Party that is, you know, dug in and resistant to the notion that we need to change direction." B. Obama

Oct. 30 2008 "There's a certain segment of hard core Sean Hannity fans that probably wouldn't go have a beer with me." B. Obama

Ever since election "Sure, lets go have a beer. I'll even buy in the spirit of spreading the wealth". S. Hannity

T-1435 ObAmA Hilary Ineligible

• Steve (aka Harold or B.O.) may need the 'Saxby fix'
• The source of the issue is something called the Emoluments Clause, which is a clause in the Constitution that essentially states that, while a person is serving a term of office to which they were elected, he or she may not be appointed to any civil office which was newly created, or for which the compensation was increased in that same term. So because there was a pay raise given to the position of Secretary of State during Senator Clinton's current term, she is ineligible for appointment to this office. The wording: "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."
• That's not all, either. This is not, apparently, the first time the issue has come up. Multiple examples are available at the sources above, but one in particular would be pertinent in the case of Hillary. When President Nixon wanted Sen. William Saxbe for his Attorney General, he had Congress reduce the wage, which had been increased and triggered the clause, in order to get around the restriction. The maneuver has been dubbed the "Saxbe fix".

T-1449 ObAmA Helen Thomas

• If you expect someone to pose some tough questions to Steve, you should go to Helen Waite.


• Second best choice might be Helen Thomas
  

If Helen Thomas holds the only chair in the White House press briefing room named for an individual rather than an organization - a front-and-center seat at that - it may have something to do with the barriers that the 88-year-old columnist has broken in her long career.

From this seat, the Hearst Newspapers columnist has asked some of the toughest questions of the sitting president - "You'll be sorry,'' she once warned President Bush when he called on her in her front-row perch - and she suggests that President-elect Barack Obama won't get much of a honeymoon.

Thomas, who allows that the historic election stirred a certain chord for her - citing Bobby Kennedy's prediction that Americans might elect a black president in another 30 years - also questions why the self-styled change-agent who has won the White House has turned to so many characters from the Clinton administration for his own team.

"I'm already after Barack for... going after the old Clinton faces,'' she says. "Why -- doesn't he know anybody?''... I don't understand falling back on all the old faces.. it seems to me that if you want to have a fresh start, you really ought to have a fresh start.'' And these are tough times, she notes: "The economy is in the toilet.''

Side note. Annete Benning is going to play Helen Thomas in a movie called ‘Dirty Tricks’.

T-1450 ObAmA Mitch McConnell

• So if Joe Lieberman gets shunned and decides to caucus with the republicans and since Steve and Joe B. have decided not to be senators any more, does that mean Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is the new senate majority leader? The Majority leader customarily serves as the chief representative and "face" of his or her party in Senate, and sometimes even in all of Congress if the House of Representatives and thus the office of Speaker of the House is controlled by the opposition party. (better “face” then Harry Reid)
  
• Do the feds other than DOD, EPA, HUD, LABOR, SSA, TSA, AND VA feel scorned by Obama or did they get their own 'feely good' letter?

T-1453 ObAmA Rule

• Other presidents have stepped up to “lead,” “serve,” and “govern.”
• Not Barack Obama. He is ready to “begin to rule on Day One", sayeth Obama minion Valerie Jarrett (cochairwoman of the Obama transition team).
• Who is Valerie Jarrett, anyway? She’s the ruling-class niece of Clinton crony Vernon Jordan.

T-1455 ObAmA Brush Hog

• Puzzlement! I've been seeing a lot of high ranking democrat women wearing red. Guilt complex???
  
• A Texan caller was wondering out loud if the new administration was going to be like a brush hog. In that they won't mess with you when you're looking at them, but when you turn your back, they attack. Oh, by the way, ever put lipstick on a brush hog?

T-1460 ObAmA Rosetta

• In order for conservatives to support the new president, we must learn the lingo
  
  

To that end, I've requested a new DVD from Rosetta stone

• Although the lingo is highly complex and intricate, today's lesson is quite simple. The one and only definition of ¢hange is
money. (¢HANGE=MONEY)


• 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and a nickel = ¢hange for a dollar
• redistrbute the ¢hange
• lots of ¢hange is ¢hange$
• Obama needs ¢hange

There is a way to send Steve what he needs

T-1461dy ObAmA Post Campaign & moose

• After a day of crying in my soup and drinking my favorite beverage, this blogger will now get out of the campaign mode and into the Obama critique mode.

• The term critique derives from the Greek term kritik, meaning "discerning judgment", usually of the value of something. Especially in philosophical contexts it is influenced by Kant's use of the term to mean a reflective examination of the validity and limits of a human capacity or of a set of philosophical claims and has been extended in modern philosophy to mean a systematic inquiry into the conditions and consequences of a concept, theory, discipline, or approach and an attempt to understand its limitations and validity.

• I’ll be oscillating between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and George S. Patton. I won’t follow in the footsteps of a myriad of Obama supporters who hated ‘W’ ever since day one and before.

John McCain supporter Elisabeth Hasselbeck said Wednesday on TV's "The View" that she'll follow Obama's lead. "I will jump in that line and support our president because that is what as an American I believe we should do," said Hasselbeck, who received a fist bump from co-host Whoopi Goldberg.

In the movie, after hitting a soldier, Patton came before his troops and said something to the effect (I came here to show you if I’m as big an asshole as every body has told you). Well the real Patton never said that, but it was neat in the movie. So I’m going to monitor Obama to see if he is a bad as conservative radio has made him out to be.

In the spirit of true bi-partisanship, I noticed Michelle Obama wore the same dress that she had on when she helped Sarah field dress a bull moose.

T-1dy ObAmA 2nd amendment

• Subject: Obama's 2nd ammendment voting record
  
  
  
  • ISRA Press Release: 'Nobody Knows Obama's Record on Guns Better Than I Do,' Says ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson
  
  
  
  • SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
  
  
  
  • "One of the most blatant lies ever to come from a politician's mouth," is how the ISRA is characterizing a recent statement by U.S. Senator Barack Obama. Speaking in the latest issue of "Field & Stream," Obama claims that Illinois sportsmen know him as an advocate for their rights. On the contrary, Obama's voting record while a state senator clearly indicates that he has nothing but contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner.
  
  
  
  • "Any sportsman who counts Barack Obama as one of his friends is seriously confused," said ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson. "Throughout his tenure in the Illinois Senate, Obama served as one of the most loyal foot soldiers in Mayor Daley's campaign to abolish civilian firearm ownership. While a state senator, Obama voted for legislation that would ban and forcibly confiscate nearly every shotgun, target rifle and hunting rifle in the state. Obama also voted for bills that would ration the number of firearms a law-abiding citizen could own, yet give a pass to the violent thugs who roam our streets. And, inexplicably, Obama voted four times against legislation that would allow citizens to use firearms to defend their homes and families."
  
  
  
  • "Let us also not forget that Obama served as a director of the Joyce Foundation," continued Pearson. "While on the Joyce Foundation board, Obama funneled tens of millions of dollars to radical gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center."
  
  
  
  • "If Senator Obama considers his legislative record and his philanthropic endeavors to be acts of advocacy on behalf of sportsmen's rights, then I submit that the Senator is seriously confused as well," asserted Pearson.
  
  
  
  • "Nobody knows Obama's record on guns better than I do, and it's rotten to the core," said Pearson. "I've been involved in Illinois politics nearly as long as Obama has been alive. In that time, I have never encountered a legislator who was more hostile towards or more disinterested in sportsmen's rights than Barack Obama."
  
  
  
  • The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. Founded in 1903, the ISRA represents the interests of over 1.5 million law-abiding Illinois firearm owners.

             I’ll take all of your candy and



             put it into my bag.  And now you’re



             a pirate just like the people on



             wall street who represent nothing but



             corporate greed and you’re a princess



             and princesses are rich right?”



PRINCESS:   “RIGHT!”



OBAMA:      “and rich folks got that way by



             oppressing others”



PRINCESS:   “huh????”



OBAMA:      “so out of this whole bag of candy,



             I think both of you deserve 2



             pieces each.”



PIRATE:     “but that’s not fair!”



PRINCESS:   “we’ve been walking around for hours.”



OBAMA:      “now I never said there wouldn’t be



             sacrifices and don’t you want



             to share your candy with the



             hobos and the clowns.



PRINCESS:   “NO!”



PIRATE:     “NO!”



PRINCESS:   “why do you get to keep all our candy?”



OBAMA:      “because I represent the government



             and I like milk duds.



             Happy Hallowoeen



             {closes door}



PRINCESS:   “But, I’m not really a princess!@#$%”



PIRATE:     “let’s egg his house”

T-5dy ObAmA hypnotist

• Well did Obama's speech last night hypnotize enough voters to offset the ones he lost by preemting the world series pre game?




• Barack Obama’s speeches contain the hypnosis techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D. who developed a form of “conversational” hypnosis that could be hidden in seemingly normal speech and used on patients without their knowledge for therapy purposes. Obama’s speeches intentionally contain:






• Trance Inductions


• Hypnotic Anchoring


• Pacing and Leading


• Pacing, Distraction and Utilization


• Critical Factor Bypass


• Stacking Language Patterns


• Preprogrammed Response Adaptation


• Linking Statements/ Causality Bridges


• Secondary Hidden Meanings/Imbedded Suggestions


• Emotion Transfer


• Non-Dominant Hemisphere Programming




• Obama’s techniques are the height of deception and psychological manipulation, remaining hidden because
  one must understand the science behind the language patterns in order to spot them.
• This document (www.pennypresslv.com/Obama's_Use_of_Hidden_Hypnosis_techniques_in_His_Speeches.pdf) examines Obama’s speeches word by word, hand gesture by hand gesture, tone, pauses, body language, and
  proves his use of covert hypnosis intended only for licensed therapists on consenting patients. Obama’s
  mesmerized, cult-like, grade-school-crush-like worship by millions is not because “Obama is the greatest
  leader of a generation” who simply hasn’t accomplished anything, who magically “inspires” by giving
  speeches. Obama is committing perhaps the biggest fraud and deception in American history.



• Obama is not just using subliminal messages, but textbook covert hypnosis and neuro-linguistic
  programming techniques on audiences that are intentionally designed to sideline rational judgment and
  implant subconscious commands to think he is wonderful and elect him President. Obama is eloquent.
  However, Obama’s subconscious techniques are shown to elicit powerful emotion from his audience and
  then transfer those emotions onto him, to sideline rational judgment, and implant hypnotic commands that
  we are unaware of and can’t even consciously question. The polls are misleading because some of Obama’s
  commands are designed to be triggered only in the voting booth on November 4th. Obama is immune to
  logical arguments like Wright, Ayers, shifting every position, character, and inexperience, because hypnosis
  affects us on an unconscious and emotional level. To many people who see this unaccomplished man’s
  unnatural and irrational rise to the highest office in the world as suspicious and frightening and to those who
  welcome it, this document uncovers, explains, and proves the deceptive tactics behind true “Obama
  Phenomenon” including why younger people are more easily affected.

T-7dy ObAmA interview in 2001 WBEZ Chicago

• Aside from the mindless voters who vote for BO because of his pro-life, pro-war, and Palin VP selection, there are a few that are truly anti-American and buy into the Obama words from his interview in 2001 on WBEZ 91.5 FM Chicago radio


• "If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples. So that I would now have the right to vote and I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I would be ok. But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and serve more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the constitution. At least this has been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way (that generally the constitution is a charter of negative liberties). Says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you; but it doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted and one of the (I think) tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused. I think there was a tendency to loose track of the political and community organizing and activities on ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change. And in some ways we still suffer from that."

T-8dy ObAmA Barbara West Biden interview

• Joe Biden was interviewed last week by Barbara West of WFTV-TV (Channel 9) in Orlando, Fla.
  Among the questions:
  
  • "Aren't you embarrassed by the blatant attempts to register phony voters by ACORN, an organization that Barack Obama has been tied to in the past?"
  
  
  • "How is Sen. Obama not being Marxist if he intents to spread the wealth around?"
  
  
  • "Are you forewarning Americans that .. American's days as a world's leading power are over?"
  
  
  Biden didn't lose it on camera, but he did ask if one of the anchor's questions was a joke. Later he said, "I don't know who's writing your questions."
  
  After the interview, reported the Orlando Sentinel, the Obama campaign canceled an interview the station had scheduled with Joe Biden's wife Jill. And it informed the station that no one from the campaign would be granting the station any further interviews.
  
  West told the Sentinel she was just doing her job, asking "tough questions."

• The above is quite the tidy package of Obama campaign lowlights
  
  
  • lying. Obama got Acorn $800,000. (I just threw that one in - knowing full well that lying is a prerequisite for all politicians)
  
  
  • Obama = marxism
  
  
  • time to toss the constitution. (if what is said/asked by media, you just muzzle/ban them.
