“While Everyone Else Is Working On Solving The Financial Crises, My Senator Is Working On His Abs”

Chicagoans Against Obama nails it again. Let’s face it, nobody knows Barack better than his unfortunate Chicago constituents.
In the midst of what could be our greatest financial crisis…..
What was the Senator of my great state doing at 8:20 am this morning?
He was doing crunches, in a DC gym …
It’s all about priorities.
Outstanding.

FATTENING A PIG WITH ACORNS
Why, oh why, are people and the MSM not talking about this sickening twist?
THE ECONOMY IS IN A CRISIS AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE PORKING UP A RESCUE BILL WITH EARMARKS TO A-C-O-R-N (THE VOTER FRAUD OUTFIT).
NO WONDER THE GOP IS HOLDING FIRM.

(excerpt:)
House Republicans refused to support the Henry Paulson/Chris Dodd compromise bailout plan yesterday afternoon, even after the New York Times reported that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson got down on one knee to beg Nancy Pelosi to compromise. One of the sticking points, as Senator Lindsey Graham explained later, wasn’t a lack of begging but a poison pill that would push 20% of all profits from the bailout into the Housing Trust Fund — a boondoggle that Democrats in Congress has used to fund political-action groups like ACORN and the National Council of La Raza.
Graham keeps on mentioning ACORN each time he gets before the TV cameras. smart boy.
and by the way, the most laughable banner on MSNBC — “Barney Frank calls for House republicans to stop their revolt against George Bush”
do you think all the DEMS are smoking crack. Let’s see who wins that one: DEMS working with W, (less popular than even Nixon on the day he resigned) to pass a bill that sticks it to taxpayers to the tune of $700 billion or REPs turning against their inept president to protect taxpayers against the run-amock DEMs.
Yep, Obama got the special stuff, the pure crack that goes down smooth and takes your brains with it.
Barney Frank is one of the reasons we’re in this mess today. Letting him anywhere near the process, never mind leading it will cause a depression never mind a recession. He however, as some may have noted, is in the process of rewriting history, when he claims the Republicans would not let the Dem’s change the regulations. Frank knew that unqualified people were getting loans and pushed Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac to loan to those even less qualified, including illegal aliens. Frank however will come out of this smelling like a rose.
My very dearest gay friend today said, “Oh no, Frank isn’t gay, darling, he’s just cheerful.” I thought I would die laughing. When your own community turns on you ….
I have to confess I always liked Barney. But this is way over the line. His stupidity brought us down. I am SURE he had honorable intentions, it was just plain stupid not to control Fannie and Freddie. AND Acorn.
JUST WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!

This is what we can expect if Obama gets in the WH. This is why they didn’t want Hillary Clinton. I knew there was some corrupt reason and now we’re seeing it.
For God’s sake…you are reaching soooooo far with this. Hillary lost - accept it, no conspiracy, no vote fixing, nada. spin it whatever way you want, she ran a lousy campaign - and, just for good measure, who the hell do you think started this de-regulation crap in the first place???? Yup, Phil Gramm, the republicans and bill clinton signed it…it may have been veto-proof, but the first glass steagle bill was NOT and Bill would have signed that he said, as long as two or three conditions were met, which they were.
Hillary won half the vote. LOL since BOBO also won half the vote he must have run a lousy campaingn too.
We’ll be saying the same to you shortly. Don’t kid yourself.
Thank you Uppity.
I’m rehearsing my lines daily:
Maybe I’ll win an Academy Award.
This is a wierd freaking election cycle
I’ve tried to get a clarification on this, this afternoon, by calling my reps. and even Lindsay Graham’s office…no where do I read about the Acorn or Housing Trust Fund, and no one seems to know other than we’ll get back to you on it. I WANT TO KNOW NOW.
What is this Housing Trust Fund, what does it do and who does it target.
What - in detail - is in this bailout.
As for Obama doing abs and the picture that accompanies this post: gross. That is the word so often written by the Obama pieces of detritus concerning Hillary and Bill. I’ve learned well.
The MSM is completely in the toilet. All that is needed now is for someone to flush the toilet.
The National Enquirer has more credibility than they do now.
Talk about lipstick on a pig.
Your reparation dollars at work.
GOP may be holding firm, but why are they not letting the American public know about this?
they are doing a fine job, not over politicizing the situation. the media and frank and pelosi and reid are letting the american people know. and on sunday, kerry is coming back to the fray appearing opposite lindsey graham on foxnews.
i think mccain is going to kick butt tonight because obama is supposedly going to come out fighting. that will play with the base and nothing more.
because the MSM will not cover them. it doesn’t work in to their script about the first black prez.
And make John McCain & the Republicans look good??
LOL!! C’mon - now you know the Obama MSM don’t want to do that!
ACORN has now been REMOVED from the bailout. Senator/Congressman KEMP just said it on Hannity.
OK we get a link.
No link just heard it in an interview on the radio that Kemp said it was taken out of the plan….
If that is true, then we should have a deal this weekend.
acorn is sooooooooooooooo corrupt. out the door with the garbage acorn.
Wonderful, but I just wish with all my heart that aore voters could have the chance to know about the corrupt organization of ACORN, that it played a direct role in this, and that the Dems are STILL pushing money to ACORN in spite of all else they’ve done. This is a glaring example of the hypocrisy and greed that still controls our congress.
Rock On!!! YAY!!!!!!McCain. I am thrilled to see this. Any “profit should go to debt reduction.
Athena are you SURE.
You really don’t know?
Omg, put that picture below the read line. What a horrible display!
i’ve been saying for months that O reminds me of W. little experience, media love affair and lots of money propelling him ahead of the better candidate, and full of platitudes. now this. while rome burned, W used to go biking, remember. and say he was delegating — they can call me if they need me.
Oh yeah. You got it spot on. But you’re right - it’s only becoming clear now. As we in the midst of this crisis realise how ridiculous it is to think of Obama as some kind of leader when he’s just a freshman Senator.
He also gives an impression of not being interested in the whole thing. “They call me if they need me.”
Smacks of my broker will tell me what to do.
My first thought: Geez! Oblowme’s W with the felon mansion - sans brush cutting option.
The guy took 50 minutes out of his day to go exercise. You people are insane.
Thats what they would say about bush too.
Sorry dude but most of us have take the time out of our time, not our employers time. And some people, you know, the bitter types clinging to three jobs, don’t have any time to do crunches.
the bitter types clinging to three jobs, don’t have any time to do crunches.
The only crunches they are doing is number crunches to see what they can afford between now and the end of the month. The Democrats have been reprehensible in this. So much for caring about the working class. I guess its really the non-working class they are pandering to.
You’re right. What’s the biggest world financial crisis ever next to the need to get to the gym and work on those abs?
Besides - who are you to object to the fact we all find Obama so disgusting?
I guess he was doing two things at once again….working on the economic crisis AND his abs (not necessarily in that order)
Sweetie, when you are losing your house, or you think you bank is going defunct, 50 minutes is a llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooogggggggggggggggggg time.
Rtn, if your house catches fire i want you to go to the gym while it burns, ok?
He has an awful lot of work to do. Barf!
He’s got to keep up with his crunches. He wouldn’t want to lookout of place in the prison yard.
Hey Barry! Is that my soap bar on the floor there? Would you be a dear and pick it up for me? ROFL
Obama has the body of a fat kid. It makes me laugh at that he thinks he is giving the women folk a thrill.
A thrill for me would be Mr. Palin in a bathing suit walking out of the surf. Imagine that lean body, those muscles hardened from working and playing on the north slope of Alaska, not doing crunches at a “jim”.
Raspberries, the depth of flavor found raspberries is a wonder. Raspberry vinaigrette on my salads, or a raspberry filling mixed with mysterious dark chocolate. Raspberries represent total richness.
Todd Palin is raspberries to me. That’s what I thought when I saw his incredible blue eyes and dark hair. The rest of him was just confirmation, yeah raspberry..
cripes, no kidding, Obama half dressed-GAG.
Oh Betty I do believe you got a crush on someone!
I’ve thought the same thing. Obama’s one of those skinny but spongy people. Not too great to hug and usually a gag-worthy personality to go with it. Why?
Because they have ISSUES.
Gag.
Now Todd Palin is another story…
This is the politics in action from the Democrat leaders of both Houses. Demand & resist !
Why can’t they solve the economic crisis FIRST WITHOUT insisting their pork barrels in the bill?
ACORN & National Council of LaRaza will survive & thrive more IF the economy is back to sound,healthy status. Right now the economy is in the ICU, & the Democrats want to continue inserting the wrong medication. Let the patient get well first, feed it to be robust, then put him to work to help the needy.Is that hard, Pelosi & Reid?
I’ve been a Democrat for over 30 years & this is the first time in my lifetime I will vote for a Republican ticket.DNC is not the one I know !
Vote McCain/Palin ‘08 to clean Washington & Wall Street
Hillary ‘12
GOD SAVE AMERICA !!!
Rev Wright said God was damning America. Wonder if Wright had Obama in mind when he gave those sermons?
Absolutely. He had him in front of his eyes, and he never complaint to him that his sermons where insulting to his constituents and to the citizens of the country. He then knew that damning American was to usher that fellow in front of him.
started the day off at the gym and i heard at one point today on fox that if he got to mississippi early enough he might be able to find someone to play basketball with…whata jock!!!!! hope he has the itch to go with it…….
jrterrier- you are so absolutely right! obama is nothing more than the muslim, left wing, democratic version of bush. just in a different prettier package. i bet the truth be known the exact same facist socialists are behind both of them. no wonder bush never says anything about obama and laura defended michelle’s comments about “for the first time i am proud of my country”. they are all the same. it’s all about power and nothing to do with love of country or their fellow countrymen.
Exactomundo, TexasLatina! I’ve been saying this for months—Obama is the flip side of the same neo-con fascist coin!
let’s stay away from the muslim label. he may be that but it only devalues our arguments. right now he tells us that he is a christian, a life-long member of a church that espouses black liberation theology (espoused by only 10% of African-American churches), whose preacher likes to use profanity, damn america and make up stories about the govt infecting AA with HIV.
what’s the matter, is that politically incorrect? Is this CNN and MSNBC on here now??
“If the political winds should shift, I will stand with the Muslims.” ~ Barack Hussein Obama
Straight from the horses mouth, wodiej. Let them take offense from the appropriate source.
they sure do seem like they are both cut out from the same cloth. Bush is a moron plus Obama makes 2..
That link also has this, from American Spectator.
It’s starting to look like a Goldman Sachs coup in Washington.
Liberals’ Favorite Beverage
Most red-blooded Americans are raised on mother’s milk; full of life-sustaining nutrients, patriotism, and love of individual freedom. Sometimes one wonders what has gotten into liberals. Turns out it’s not something in the water, it’s something in the milk.
http://patriotroom.com/?p=2490
This liberals versus conservatives elitism going both ways does nothing for me. I demand solutions from the center.
I agree that we need a compromise in the middle. Right where most Americans are.
I’ve listened to both sides today and the far left and far right are just out of touch.
The change we need is somewhere in the middle.
milk moustache on Senator Present -
classic
Bill Dupray, fuck you and all you knuckle-draggin’ wingnuts who believe Obama’s truly a liberal OR a Democrat of any kind whatsoever.
The only true Democrats left are now PUMAs, whether they know it or not.
Listen up: Obama is a RW Trojan horse, backed by the same big Wall Street gatos ricos that backed Reagan and both Bushes, and fluffed by the same corporate media–including Fox.
And I defy ANYONE to name one liberal corporation, one that owns major media anyway. Just one. Anybody?
Didn’t think so.
Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, dumbass.
So what national outlets do they own?
Okay, the progressive Pacifica Radio (and its affiliates) but it is hardly in the mainstream! Air America is supposed to be liberal, but by the way this station bashed the Clintons, spit on the Dem base, and carried water for Barack, it can be hardly considered liberal. Air America is for the Pod Dem Party.
Hanging out at the gym today does make him look very disconnected and aloof.
He must be either very arrogant or very stupid. Knowing that he’s already under the microscope for not doing any heavy lifting, why in the world would he allow himself to be seen toning his bod? What an empty suit!
In his American Idol world showing off his scrawny ass is all he’s got?
LOl, yeah, he could do crunches in private.
i hope this election is not already rigged. obama sure does seem confident and allows himself to be seen and doing anything he wants. he does sure seem too confident. like he knows something the rest of us don’t.
Texaslatina, of course it’s already rigged. Obama is backed by the same people who stole two elections for George W. Bush, and who are now preparing to steal this next one for him.
They already stole the Dem nomination for him, and all that’s required for them to steal the presidency is for the election to appear to be close.
They sure as shootin’ aren’t going to steal it for McCain. They hate McCain and always have, and if you don’t believe me, follow the money.
Obama’s been in the senate less than 4 years, McCain’s been a senator since the 1980s, yet Obama’s already collected hundreds of thousands of dollars more from lobbyists and special interests in less than 4 years than McCain has in over 20.
And the MLM, which used to love McCain, are now backing Obama bigtime–including Fox.
That should tell you all you need to know about who’s getting support from the PTB this time around–and the hopes and needs of the American people be damned as usual.
Oops–better make that “MSM,” not “MLM.”
Guys, obama hangs out at the gym and takes vacations, when most public servants of the people would be working because he’s nothing more than a “front man”!
He repeats what others tell him to say. He doesn’t need to “work” at his job, he is only required to either memorize or read from a teleprompter the words of those who put him where he is today and who expect to gain direct access to the great power of the oval office — that is, if we allow him to win.
Stop treating him like he’s legtimate. Pumping iron in the gym is exactly what a fraud would be doing at a time like this.
No pork with bail out!
But I must clarify one point: The National Council of La Raza is basically a harmless organization which was established in the 1960s mainly as a support group for Chicano/Hispanic students in higher education, and expanded somewhat to community outreach activities (i.e. cultural events like Cinco de Mayo, and helping the non-English speakers navigate local and state bureaucracies.) We hardly want to take back the South West!
I attended a couple of meetings when in college, but the meetings were really boring and mundane. Unfortunately, Lou Dobbs has characterized this organization as some kind of “racial superiority” menace, based on its name “La Raza”! Dobb’s characterization and paranoia are pretty laughable!
The term “La Raza” basically refers to the new hybrid race that emerged from the Spanish conquest of the Indigenous populations, a term which is the basis of national identity in Mexico. On another level, “La Raza” also refers to those who claim cultural roots to the mythical place called Aztlan (South West & Northern Mexico). As such, the organization has helped the Chicano/Hispanic community not only recognize and preserve our cultural heritage, but struggle against racial prejudice and discrimination in the U.S.
To Lou Dobbs: Hispanics are some of Sen Clinton & Prez Clintons most loyal supporters. I and many members of my family count ourselves in that group.
Not in my neighborhood. Please!
They need to be weened off the teet as well. There are many ways to get funding to recruit voters so that the “dame mas” mentality will continue.
Dude it ain’t harmless if they get a piece of that $140 billion and/or are targeted for it.
la raza isn’t harmless. so can that bullxxxx! there are organizations that are harmless and FRANKLY NONE OF THEM DESERVE THE PUBLIC’S MONEY. GOT THAT! ESPERIO QUI SI!
Let me be clear—I do not want La Raza funded by the bail out!—but as a group it is hardly a danger to this democracy! It is NOT like ACORN!
So does Lou Dobbs. This is tiresome. Do your own research!
Zorro Astor—I know very well Dobbs supported Clinton implicitly during the primaries, so there is no research to be done on that matter!
My one objection to Lou Dobbs–whom I otherwise like— is his mischaracterization of La Raza and of Hispanics in general.

Why don’t they do all that good work in Mexico where it is needed if it is such a great Mexican organization. Then those people would not need to sneak over here under cover.
Dixie—Such an organization would not be needed in Mexico, so your suggestion is silly! But if the U.S. corporations and U.S. government had stayed out of Mexico over the past century and stopped meddling in it’s elections than perhaps the living conditions wouldn’t be so bad there. (Most recently, Mexico had it own type of Bush/Gore election—it was stolen by their Right Wing which favors corporations and the privitization of national resources.)
Although Mexico did have a Revolution at the beginning of the 20 century, the corrupt Mexican oligarchy with the help of our meddling U.S. government and corporations have managed to undermine the Mexican economy over the decades. Believe me, if Mexico had a thriving economy, Mexicans would not come here.
Also, other immigrants from Central America come here because our government and corporations were there wreaking havoc economically and politically!
Our policy toward Mexico and Central America needs to change too, if we want to stop the flow of immigration here.
Anyway, I don’t want to continue this debate here because it goes in a different direction from the original thread—which is Obama and his inveterate holiday attitude.
Lou Dobbs is MARRIED to an Hispanic, and his children are all part Hispanic.
He’s not against Hispanics at all.
He’s against ILLEGALs, and the government being too lazy to enforce the laws.
But then again, the corporations LIKE the cheap labor that comes with illegals.
And Hispanic citizens get undercut by them, too.
If Obama is always working-out, why does he continue to look like a 90 pound weakling. It just shows you were his priorites are at.
It’s the coke! Keeps him thin.
It also causes tachycardia. I wish I could send him so coke, but I don’t do drugs or know any dealers. Any dealers out there want to give Obama a present?
Hey! Gordon Brown is at the White House tonight! What a stunt! Using this crisis as an excuse to gain political points! Why can’t he fucking stay in his gym and work on his abs? What a sell-out!
Harry Reid was angry last night because he missed his pilates class! G D McCain!– He’s just getting in the way of tighter abs and buns of steel for dems on the hill!
I was wondering if Barney Frank still has his teeth? When he speaks his mouth is all sucked in like he just ate some lemons…no teeth???
The Speaker looked like she was a deer in the head lights, and was made even more questionable that the only person to come to the mike with her was Frank…truly an ODD COUPLE.
The Pub’s did not want to weigh in?
Well when we saw Reid he seemed to be sucking on something. He could have been sucking on some of Barney’s teeth. I hear they’re very close so it’s not at all impossible.
not just that, but if you were looking for central casting to have middle america wretch, you’d come up with a congresswoman from SF and a congressman from Boston, the two most liberal bastions in America.
Frank looks old and a little bitter. when i was a die-hard DEM, he sure looked and sounded better.
