IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Former Hillary Clinton Advisor and Organizer Hold Conference Call to Endorse John McCain
By NancyA on September 19, 2008 at 8:10 PM in Current Affairs, McCain/Palin 2008, Obama, Obama Attack Ads
Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released a partial transcript of a conference call held this afternoon with Miguel D. Lausell, Senior Political Advisor to Hillary Clinton, and Clinton Delegate-at- Large Luchy Secaira (Florida). Both Lausell and Secaira endorsed John McCain for president.
Here are excerpts from the conference call:
Luchy Secaira: “I was a very strong Hillary Clinton supporter because she had a set of principles, characteristics, and her stand on the issues along with a track record of fighting on behalf of families. That was very attractive to me.
“Well, we now know that the primaries are over. However, those qualities are not transferable. I do not believe that Senator Obama shares in those qualities. Therefore, my support and my vote is also non-transferable.
“I am supporting John McCain and Governor Palin because John McCain has spent his whole life standing up for his country. He has a record of fairness, compassion, responsibility, and giving back.
“Governor Palin is a woman of compassion and accomplishment in the mold of Senator Clinton. So I have chosen to put my country before my party and this is the ticket to support.
“They both care deeply about working families. They are reformers. They will go to Washington and they will remember who sent them there. So country before party, and that is why I’m supporting John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. …
“And you know the Hispanic community knows John McCain. They know him. They know that he has a record. They know that has gone up against his own party on behalf of the Hispanic community.”
Miguel D. Lausell: “I decided, after searching my conscience, to back Senator McCain for many reasons. He is a man of great experience. He’s a sound man. He’s a man that you know what you’re getting when you vote for him.
“And the country is in very difficult situation and needs a man that can decide on difficult matters and has the experience and the soundness to help the struggle to get through these bad times.
“I cannot say the same about Senator Obama. We don’t know what we’re getting when we vote for him. He doesn’t really have the experience.”
Both Secaira and Lausell were asked about Obama’s recent ad linking McCain to Limbaugh. Here is that ad:
Secaira and Lausell responded to the ad, this is what they had to say:
Secaira: “There goes the new politics. I don’t see anything new about put-down politics. And once again, I want to reiterate that the Hispanic community has nothing to fear because they know John McCain.
“Again, he has fought against his own party on behalf of the Hispanic community and was an integral part in trying to bring forth comprehensive immigration reform. The Hispanic community knows John McCain in his home state, in New Mexico. They know what John McCain plans for. And I don’t believe that they will be easily fooled by this misleading and disgraceful ad.”
Lausell: “It’s a very low blow on the part of the Obama campaign because it’s completely untrue and completely relates Senator McCain to something he’s not related to.
“It denies, basically, the basic premise of all of his actions. And, frankly, if you have a candidate that is willing to go so low, what can you expect if you elect him to office?”
Towards the end of the call both had this to offer, Obama is the great divider, not the great uniter.
Worth a look…pass it on. Obama is a crook.

AWESOME video! EMAIL IT TO EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY YOUR NObamabotbuds.
COUNTRY FIRST!!!
it’s gone……. poof! Obots strike again
Dan only see it with your link. It’s been scrubbed.
I have the same presentation and can turn it into a video. Is there a place to post it that is less vulnerable to assault?
Wasn’t gone when I clicked, just now–and damn, that was EXCELLENT!
Loved the ABBA touch, too!
This one works for me

WOW that is excellent! thanks!
Matt
http://www.youtube.com/v/AiEWCnpNnBQ&hl=en&fs=1
THANK YOU SO MUCH. This video is put together VERY VERY WELL.
This video includes another video that was posted
by a blogger named Marie here at NQ. I forgot to copy that link and I forgot which article she posted that link on. I frantically searched for that C Span clip but could not locate it.The producer of this great video included that C SPAN portion. Very important…
I LOVE IT!!!
This is OUTSTANDING…absolutely outstanding.
It has the clips, the facts, snapshots of the credible sources for this video, great tune,and it encourages viewers to google for themselves to verify everything.AND….the video instructs viewers to pass on the link.
I will crosspost link immediately.
I will also add very short comment as follows:
*******************************************
PLEASE view this video. It contains facts, sources and proof about Sen Obama and Sen McCain’s roles in this mortgage crisis.
Sen Obama knowingly nurtured the growth of the crisis (see how) and Sen McCain saw crisis coming and desperately tried to prevent it. PLEASE learn the truth…there is too much at stake in this election.See how his attempts were derailed.See who derailed his efforts.
The Mainstream media (msm)REFUSES to connect the dots. The MSM refuses to put this out there for public enlightenment and discourse.
thank you…excellent..I passed it on to a couple kool aid drinkers that I know….
Outstanding video. The reason Pelosi says Dems cannot be blamed is that they have been a Do-Nothing group since the 2006 elections.
love it! will pass it on.
Great post. Thanks for the informative link. I’m making calls for McCain/Palin and this gives me some great talking points on the mortgage lending issue.
thank you for this, Matt. I do hope it goes viral.
YES.. That is an awesome video.
BTW (directed to no one in particular): I Believe I was the first person on NQB to raise the flag of the entrenched Democratic Party corruption that was endemic wihtin Fannie Mae.
Mamma Mia it’s ABBA!
Better use direct link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiEWCnpNnBQ
Yes, straight to the youtube link where you can rate it and comment. Excellent video, it’s long but lays out the connection of Obama to the mortage crisis beautifully. Send it to everyone you know!
Excellent! When everyone has seen this video, Gallup Poll will have to double the weighting of Democrats in their poll sample just to show Obama’s ahead by 0.0001%!
I think he relishes his role in dividing.
Divide and conquer you know! His whole campaign has been about class warfare. He has no other way to campaign.
Here’s an article in which a professional economist explains why he’s backing McCain:
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200809u/mccain-economics
I just read that article two minutes ago before visiting this Blog. Very interesting assessment — good common sense reasons why he made his decision.
My reasoning is a lot more empirical. It’s simply: ‘Obama is a crook’. Much more efficient vetting process.
Obama is a THREAT to America,
Dan,
I hope he does not get lynched by his audience. I used to be a regular at Slate, but it became a shill for Obama and it became intolerable for this Hillary supporter to post there.
That was a clear article on economic policies by looking into an actual record of a politician (gasp, McCain has a record to examine him with!). That was nice to see for a change.
Thanks for sharing.
dan-good article.thanks for link

The Obama campaign gambled that those in the Hispanic community didn’t have the common sense to spot a lie when they saw one. Guess he made a bad bet.
I’m going to say something, and I can because I’m AA. 0bama has no respect for AAs, and sadly those who voted for him without demanding he address the issues facing the AA community as well as investigate his background and demand answers about his relationship with the slumlord Rezko, how he let AAs in his own district suffer without heat, hot water in a rat-infested environment, have given him reason to disrespect us. Of course, I can’t prove this, but I believe he thinks we’re stupid.
So he looks down on AAs and by extension, he thinks he can get away with doing the same with the latino community. After all, who are they?
Not so fast!
I could have told him that the latino community is no pushover. Oh, he may have support among the left wing radicals/intellectuals who see themselves as revolucionarios chanting la luta continua. But for the hard-working latinos, 0bama is not going to get away with flat-out lies and disrespect. He has the same problem with them that he has with white blue collar workers who he calls bitter. I can imagine the words he uses to describe this group.
When 0bama stood up the Hispanic Women’s Caucus after the Primary, after telling the African American Women’s Caucus: “Hillary lost! Get over it!” I knew then that 0bama was his own worst enemy.
Everybody, except his collection of knucklehead supporters, sees the same thing with this guy: someone who sees himself as better than everyone else. And I mean EVERYONE!
Go mimi, I am not AA but I’m not blind.
Obama is not AA as understood in the United States.
He had to go to Chicago to learn to be US AA.
Considering the privilege of going to the most exclusive private school in Hawaii 5th grade through High School and then Occidental and then Columbia and then Harvard, I’d say he has had more advantage than the over whelming majority of us white red necks.
No, the AA community will learn shortly that a hot air balloon, even with lipstick, is still a hot air balloon.
mimi-
Many AAs (and others) agree with your position

Read this blog-
“Black Agenda Report”
The Journal of African American Political Thought and Action
Many African Americans do not support Sen Obama-Read why.
Here’s a partial list of articles:
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 Obama Won’t Address Specific Black Concerns 3593
Wednesday, 30 July 2008 Freedom Rider: Obama Pardons Bush 2443
Wednesday, 30 July 2008 Imperialism With a Black Face 1807
Wednesday, 30 July 2008 His High Imperial Holiness Obama Does Berlin 1165
They were showing video from the Obama rally in Lakeland Fl today around 1:00. There was a disturbance by protesters it was funny watching Obama lose his place but what was interesting the signs had Blacks against Obama written on them. Anybody know about this?
Obama has 99% of the black vote it would be poor strategy for Obama to go after a vote he has virtually locked up.
I appreciate the insight, Mimi.
You go, mimi! With you 100%.
All who endorsed Hillary really need to get off that bus and turn to McCain especially after reading stuff like this on the internet.
Penny Pritzker, Obama’s campaign finance chair, is the heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune. The Grand Hyatt in New York city is hosting an “interfaith dinner” with Iranian President Ahmadinejad Thursday night (September 25) when he comes for his annual UN propaganda tour.
Why in heavens name would Hillary Clinton or anyone for that matter want to be associated to Obama his finance chair and people in general that want to entertain this mad man that has nothing good to say about America?
People really need to wake up and take this election seriously or we are going to regret this crap in the long run, Obama has too many questionable associates for god sakes people wake up!!!
This election is so enlightening. No more Hyatts. We will camp before we spend a dime in a Hyatt or its subsidiaries.
NObama No Way No How.
COUNTRY FIRST!!!
I’m not deliberately trying to be obtuse, but is the event being held there or are the actually hosting it.
OMG! If they are, what a travesty!
I heard this morning, I believe it was Rush Limbaugh. He looked into the matter and found that she had no idea the NY Hyatt had been reserved for this function. Apparently it was reserved by a Quaker and Menonite organization for this event.
I would like to know the name of these organizations and their missions.
I don’t care if she is saying she had no idea the fact is she does now and she is not stopping it, the Hyatt is not the only hotel in town is it?
If this was Bill Clinton or Hillary’s hotel am 1005 sure they could not come out and say oh I have no idea they were hosting this guy, I just own the place I don’t run it.
Bet that would not fly with the media or anyone for a matter of fact, all these people around Obama seems to have some funny thought about America, the war, terrorist, tyrant leader that love to insult our country.
I have a dam hard time understanding that and wonder why is this man running for President and why are Americans not asking about all this, so many unanswered questions where no one can really connect the dots, but yet look at the position he and his associates are in as they say a heartbeat from the Presidency but none is worried they are worried about a Governor from Alaska, and a man who will defend this country with his life….strange indeed is it not?
Woner who is on THAT vip list. Not me. No how No where.
Well, yeah. I have been wise about Obama for about 9 months already and since then Obama has become much much worse. I have been waiting for the rest of the country to catch up with me but they seem incredibly slow.
¿Como se dice “what Obama really meant” en español?
que carajo estas diciendo Obama?
LOL!!!!
LMAO
actually I believe the proper trasnlation would be “lo qué quizo decir Øbama” or “lo qué Øbama quizo decir”
Or…”qué coño esta diciendo este imbecil comuñanga Øbama”
*heh*
sorry for the typo…that was ‘translation’
W.O.R.M en español…
Wow, well spoken and strait from the heart. This definitely speaks for me.
I do not agree with McCain on all of the issues, but I know what John McCain stands for and that he will be diligent and nonpartisan to make the government work for the people again.
Dear friends,
Obama’s low blows have awakened a giant: after calling McCain a “liar” for telling the truth, and attacking the honor of one of the most honorable men in America, and associating McCain with one of his greatest conservative foes, Rush Limbaugh - now, Team McCain says everything in on the table.
EVERYTHING. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/09/19/attack-by-association-viewed-as-fair-game-by-mccain-camp/
That includes W.A.R. (especially W-right…).
I have been waiting for long months for the gloves to come off, for the brass knuckles to be put on and for someone to finally deliver the beating that the obama campaign and the dnc so rightfully deserve.
It will be a thing of savage beauty.
Remember Tyson v. Spinks?
They were gonna come off anyway. But this way, the GOP can point to Obama’s camp and say “Hey, they started it.” In an election as close as this one, the GOP will use every bullet they’ve got before it’s done, including the MOAB … The “Whitey Tape.”
I think Team Barry against the ropes now, and they know it.
Is it just me or did Michelle seem stoned on tv yesterday when she was talking about voting for someone because they are pretty?
She was slouching and had bags of rocks under her eyes.
She looked like she had tied one on the night before, that’s for sure.
I thought it was just my observation of her. But she looked and sounded stoned. A little snort of whatever Barry is having. As Otis the town drunk used to say on Andy Griffith, “I’ll drink to that.” (Hiccup)
LOL, I thought she was talking funny too.
Is There a Link To it?
FINALLY!
NObama may wish he didn’t crack that ACORN.
NObama NO Way No How
COUNTRY FIRST!!!
If McCain is going to loose to Oblahblah plain fair then he might as well loose playing hardball. I don’t care. I prefer if he looses throwing everything at Oblahblah than to hold back. Oblahblah is despicable and he should be called on it. Give’m hell, McCain.
That’s how I see it.
Go down swinging!
And 0bama started it. So I say McCain should let it fly.
DON’T HOLD BACK!
PS
I just read on aol that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been feuding with Barbara Walters and is considering leaving the show. I can’t believe that Walters wants at this time in her career to be perceived this way. Why are all these people willing to go down with 0bama? I don’t get. I simply don’t get it.
Graham Hess: Swing away Merrill. Merrill… swing away.
Signs
You know, why would Elizabeth Hassleback still take time away from her cute kids and great husband to hang out with that crowd of harpies anyway?
Does anybody here think she’s got a really fun job? Her husband makes tons of money, so what is the motivation for her to stay? She’d have more fun being a substitute teacher, if she wants to keep a part time job so she can keep a foot in the work force.
mimi…
baba wawa is where she is today because she bats for the “winning” team.
always has.
this year it’s the “obobo-in-the-can” team.
her show is stacked to back the position of the people that she works for. she’s a talking head shill who clawed her way to the top as she played the big boys’ game. Elizabeth is on for some “semblance” of balance.
the wawa is a propagandist of the highest order.
Elizabeth should move on. she can write her own ticket, especially if the Mac/Sarah ticket takes the White House.
Walters already lost respect when she admitted in her bio. that she had an affair with a married man. I don’t care what she does in her private life nor with whom she does it with. But to publish this was uncalled for. By doing that she has caused tremendous pain to the man’s family.
lose = not win
loose = not tight
oy-
I agree-
Sen McCain is being swiftboated again-but this time by Sen Obama.
Sen Mccain should bring up the Wright association…but…do so with great sensitivity & great care.This relationship serves as a hotbed for false accusations by Obama & team of RACISM.
Sen Obama is fighting in the gutter right now and he is trying to pull Sen McCain down into that gutter with him.
The gutter is Sen Obama’s home turf-it’s not McCain’s.
In my opinion, if a fight against Obama takes place in the gutter, Sen McCain will lose it.
McCain should bring up Wright relationship BUT do not fight the fight in the gutter.
Use TRUTH and FACTS- just like the way the Mortgage crisis situation was depicted in the following video that was shared with us by Matt (thanks again Matt!)
http://www.youtube.com/v/AiEWCnpNnBQ&hl=en&fs=1
PLUS, if video is produced, it must be embedded somewhere where obama trolls cant hack into file & delete it…
I’m waiting to see the Michel Obama “Whitey” video, especially after what she said about people “voting for her” (Palin) “because she’s cute”.
I can only imagine how cute Michele looks when she’s on a rant…
Even Obama admitted that Wright was fair game. Wright is a big part of Obama’s life and he praised the hell out of Wright for 20 years.
Normally, an unbiased media would have destroyed Obama over the Wright nexus. With a media doing nothing but infomericals for Obama it is up to McCain to take the bull by the horns.
I think McCain is going to need more and more of Hillary supporters to go PUMA even if she is stubborn enough not to go PUMA herself.
I agree — in this close election, we can actually make the difference.
Today may have been historic, comparing Hillary’s presentation yesterday to McCain’s this morning on the economy, there is not a lot of difference between them. And, the difference between Bush and Obama on this issue seems to be disapearing.
This may be a very diabolical plan by Bush/Rove to make NObama look more like Bush so it is NObama wearing the Bush monkey on his back. It just sounds “Rovian” to me. Thoughts?
COUNTRY FIRST!!!
Whoa, you have an evil mind, Jess. If that is in fact what’s going on, someone was very clever.

I am sick and tired of the media not doing their job to report what they know is the truth about Obama and his crooks at Freddie and Fannie. They are the blame and the media is covering for Obama! We The People MUST stand up and get the word out about Obama and what really caused our economic crisis!!
Could we please put this ideo up as a new seperate thread for comments?

McCain-Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
Ironman…
Now you’re talking!
The only station worth watching anymore is Fox, the rest are nothing but Obama infomercials. If people quit watching them then they can effectively fire them.
I’ve stopped watching TV almost totally. I watch Fox once in a while, but for the rest I read or do things around the house or watch my Netflix.
Couldn’t agree more, with what these two people had to say. Hillary has character. Obama, not so much. His roots are in Chicago thuggery, and he is exposing those roots more and more as the campaign goes on. Obama has been the most divisive candidate we have ever had, and that is saying a lot, since we have Bush. I do believe that Obama has surpassed Bush in that category. Only one way to go, McCain/Palin 08, and Hillary 2012. PUMA!!
Mr. Hopey Changey is working hard to keep everyone on the kool-aid
Dave Freddoso’s book is excellent on this subject. I think you can find MP3 files of recent interviews with him on WGN and you can hear him being berated by Obama supporters.
Hillary needs to get off the sickening party loyalty routine. She would be wise if she ignored Obama and let him run his childish campaign. By supporting Obama she is attaching herself to him. If Obama gets elected that will be the Democrat’s worst nightmare.
She’s on a damned campaign bus going around stumping for him. It makes people on the trail confused.
Both Secaira and Lausell seems to be well-connected in the Hispanic community. Hope they have some influence on this election.
New video on Obama talking about his job with Ayres
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-45A6I-N5I
SJ
Great video!
Only constructive criticism I have is as follows:
Try to include recognizable, respectable sources in the video so readers know that the producer of the video is not making this stuff up. That is how Obama team can attack this video-
They will tell their supporters that its lies…all lies…
Helpful if supporters see snapshots of major publications or hear/see audio or video (c Span, or Pacifica, or Lou Dobbs etc…) where what is on the video was sourced from. Again, see the video link that Matt posted on this thread.
http://www.youtube.com/v/AiEWCnpNnBQ&hl=en&fs=1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiEWCnpNnBQ
The video shows picture of publication page (with name of publication clearly visible) so that Obama supporters (and others) can follow up for details.
Remember- Sen Obama has been going after the MTV, VHS,college crowd kids. I do not mean to disparage the intelligence of these voters -these kids are VERY busy, very visually oriented.You must grab their attention QUICKLY and get your message out in the shortest amount of time. A picture can paint a thousand words in one second.
What is best way to reach them (and others) to get the truth out to them?
soon the A bomb will be dropped on the Obama operation (I no longer call it a campaign) .it will be dropped by Stanley Kurtz ’s expose’ of the annenberg files AYERS BOMB! a political ICBM is incoming and there is no ABM that can stop it!
I hope that the files haven’t already been purged. I have been trying to get Kurtz to look into the connection between Woods Fund money given to Allison Davis to rehab Grove Parc public/private housing and the route that the property has taken to end up with The Habitat Company which is owned by Valerie Jarett–isn’t that convenient. This property is also in the same area that the city wants to use for the Olympics in their 2016 bid. Is it any wonder that all the rehab efforts have failed and the people are being evicted. I am sure it was just that The Habitat Company, with all its exclusive properties that it manages, just didn’t have time to really put that free money to good use helping the people. But, at least those darn poor people will be out there so that the property value can go up after it is developed for the Olympics. Check it ou
