The Kicker:
“Where is my soundman? I am gonna have my soundman come out here, so everyone knows who messed up the sound.”
–Barack Obama expressing frustration over audio failures in Dayton, OhioOn the campaign front. . .
- The Note, ABC News
So, is it true what they say about Obama? That he’s arrogant? Just askin’.
I guess that’s how you learn to treat the “common people,” isn’t it.
Ah, the perks of privilege.
You can treat people like a complete ass and nobody dares to say a word.
Except you readers.
Now, OPEN THREAD.
Farrakhan calls Obama “the Messiah”…
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/10/farrakhan_calls_obama_the_mess.html
This video is creepy and disgusting beyond words!
Did u guys see this about Ohio’s secretary of state and the open voting stuff?
http://gretawire.foxnews.com/
What’s the TRO?
temporary restraining order.
In re The Kicker above — about Obama being so arrogant re the sound guy — this is a YouTube that should go viral if it exists somewhere — that would do more to turn people off to him than anything (idiotic as that sounds).
Let them see what an arrogant, petulant, rude person he truly is…
Yes he did - and people can do very strange things when they believe they are following a Messiah.
I hope after that crap….Obama has sound problems ever day.
More like stupid diva.
YES! Not sure if any of you sent this to the Drudge Report, but I did last night. He has it up.
No video now. AM I the only one that cannot view it?
I couldn’t find it either.
Drudge Headline:
WASH TIMES Friday: Obama secretly tried to sway Iraqi government to ignore Bush deal on keeping troops in Iraq… Developing…
is the the october surprise? hope so!
I don’t think this is the October surprise yet. I think that whatever it is will come at a time when it is too late for the Democratic Party to counteract. My guess is it will be the disqualification of Obama by virtue of his citizenship: Traveling to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport proves he was an Indonesian citizen. Then applying for a U.S. passport without the necessary naturalization papers is probably fraudulent too, if he used his birth certificate without disclosing that he also acquired Indonesian citizenship by virtue of his adoption by an Indonesian stepfather. This should be quite interesting.
Didn’t we know this last month? Where’s the MSM? Nevermind.
yep. we surely did.
what’s that tell us…the blogosphere is a month ahead of the msm in reporting “breaking news”
msm = waste of time
NQ, TD, Uppity, Confluence, and et al = NOT a waste of my time!
Yes this truly is a disgrace — we have been talking about the fact thgat he violated the Logan Act for weeks — what the hell are these idiots waiting for to report this?
The 4th estate is non-existent.
This has been out there. It was on Fox about a month ago. Obama violated the Logan Act and admitted to it in June or July on MSNBC.
Yes, and it’s us “common” people who Precious and his organization want to rule over…he will NEVER be my president.
Joe Biden is sending emails today requesting donations of $5 or more ‘right now’ to show John McCain and Governor Palin that when they attack them with lies and smears, it literally makes their campaing stronger.
I thought they had plenty of money…
The primetime TV slots that Obama is buying aren’t cheap.
As far as Joe Biden requesting the $5 donations -they are still riding that dead horse pretending this is how they have raised $400 Million. As we saw this past week, one of those $5 donners gave $10,000 in ’small’ donations and the RNC has called them on it. But, look for this, too, to be dismissed as racism. God Bless America!
Brunner’s ballot policy illegal, judge rules

BY DARREL ROWLAND AND MARK NIQUETTE
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is breaking federal law by not giving county elections boards the chance to determine whether new voter registrations are fraudulent, a federal judge ruled tonight.
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/10/09/acorn.html?type=rss&cat=&sid=101
Ohio isn’t the only one that had problems with ACORN in 2004. They also had problems in 2006. In 2004 when they were doing the hand re-counts it was stopped because of the massive voter fraud that came up. Then again in 2006. ACORN should have been put under control then. Then, not 2008. 4 years later, there should have been a demand for more oversight, there wasn’t. Government funding should have been halted immediately. I’d like to know why it wasn’t from both sides?
Because the Democrats won the Congress. LOL*
That’s an easy one to answer.
The allegations about ACORN are part of a Republican vendetta against voter registration. Read all about it:
http://www.nhi.org/online/issues/150/mockthevote.html
http://www.volokh.com/posts/1162583177.shtml
http://www.everydaycitizen.com/2007/06/us_attorneygate_and_the_attack_1.html
I’d be more concened with the motivation behind the allegations if the allegations were proven to be false, but, so far, most of the allegations have been shown, after investigation, to have understated the extent of the fraud.
They are now investigating 12 states. How can this be?
What a small, small man he is. Not leader of the free world material at all.
Joe Biden is sending emails today requesting donations of $5 or more ‘right now’ to show John McCain and Governor Palin that when they attack them with lies and smears, it literally makes their campaign stronger.

Diva.
Immature and dangerous.
Greta is having a good show on Acorn and voter fraud. FBI involved in voter fraud in Missouri. woo hoo
But boohoo—here is Greg Palast’s report on the nationwide effort by Republicans to suppress the vote. That’s what’s really going on.
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/10/9/greg_palast_on_vote_rigging_and
They had to purge the five voters to make up for the dead guys registered by ACORN. Given the way that ACORN was found to have registered the same guy 72 times, maybe the voter purge didn’t go far enough. If we can’t run honest and documented (with accurate paper trails) elections in this country, we sound silly complaining about dictatorships. Both parties need to rise above partisanship on this issue, and clean this stuff up. Increased transparency and investigative resources, coupled with severe penalties for fraud would be a start. It would also help if honest public officials were put in charge of the voting programs in the states instead of each party doing everything within their power to elevate the craftiest and slimiest cheaters into positions of election oversight.
Obama, the idiot.
oh but lies and smears against palin and McCain are ok. I am so sick of this ass backwards election. I swear if i see one person try and cover obama poor judgement and arrogence by making cheap shots and palin and mccain i’m going to start knocking heads. The fact that this joke of a man is still running for president is crazy.
Indeed.
Slightly OT, I was watching the Dogers/ Phillies playoff game tonight and BO had an ad. So this is to alert everyone that The Denver Group is soliciting donations to get an anti-Obama ad on during the World Series. Please go to their site and consider donating.
Nothing is OT this is an open thread.
well what’s weird is my local channel showed both an Obama ad and a McCain ad. I said to my hub, wtf? Texas is a true red state. Why are they even bothering to run ads here? Either campaign? Though I do love to see the ones from Johnny Mac. The ONE from Barry I just yelled at (about cutting taxes) LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
Prissy thug.
My feeble attempt at humor for the nite:
http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:SBUX
This is a link to the stock price of Starbucks, in graph form. Click on the 5 year version and you will see that Starbucks downhill slide coincides with Obama’s candidacy. You see, all the latte sipping types were giving money to BHO instead.
I should sell this info to Jim “Mad Money” Cramer.
Wonderful graph, thank you. If you play with the scale, it looks to me like the big rise and fall were coincidental with the real estate bubble.
I notice during the debate… Obama said something like it was in our interest to lower the price of oil so that Russia would have less oil income. He;s not even President yet and he already is making “locker room” quips for the next cold war. For a Harvard educated lawyer… he’s not nearly as sharp as he thinks he is.
yeah well that was reagan’s thing and he just about destroyed houston. we all know barky adores reagan. who knew!
That was thoroughly idiotic. I don’t know why the people sitting there didn’t just got up and left. I would have.
No, he’s not as bright as people are crediting him for being. He’s also not as communicative.
He has bamboozled more than a few with an academic posturing.
What bothers me the most? I think it’s racism. People are amazed he can talk and chew gum at the same time.
There is something very condescending about this entire race that really makes me feel queasy for AA people.
I hope they don’t sense it that way.
I hope I am just being too analytical.
Remember way back when…..Biden got in all that hot water for saying Obama was, “clean and articulate”…..they called him racist I believe.
BREAKING
Here is a mention of Obama in Ayers book - A Kind and Just Parent. I have never seen this mentioned this before…
http://books.google.com/books?id=-fjb7_3Qjy4C&dq=A+Kind+and+Just+Parent:+The+Children+of+Juvenile+Court&pg=PP1&ots=n0ELFtv8Jd&sig=Y_C73B0K4gBPruSqmgx_SlbAeC4&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPA82,M1
Dtaylor-
All due respect but I don’t wish to read 30 pages of Ayers diatribe… What pages mention “that one?”
Page 82
On page 82 Ayers is listing the people who live in his neighborhood — and lists Obama as Obama, the writer.
There is strong evidence to suggest that Ayers either wrote Obamas books or at least edited the books. The books use language and phrases that Ayers uses when he speaks — Obama does not use similar phrases in his non- teleprompter speech patterns.
This might explain why Obama referred to Ayers as an English teacher instead of an Education teacher when he was trying to justify is acquaintance with him during the primary debate.
No; having spent all those years on the CAC, which had at its heart doling out millions of dollars to educational endeavors in order to radicalize education, he knew his mentor was a Professor of Education. He only said “English” in an effort to deflect any further inquiry into what these two had been up to.
He’s buying 30-mins of prime time ad on CBS and NBC 6 days before the election. I guess they hope to be able to convert some voters through subliminal messages on TV.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27107689
Good, so now I know when to turn the TV off. I’ve already seen enough Hitler documentaries, I don’t need to see Adolf Jr in front of the camera
If Fox is smart, they’ll hold out and play the World Series game.
Maybe about 2 days AFTER his big ‘premier’ on t.v., McCain can come out with his big October Surprise. McCain has to time it carefully, though; he can’t come out too soon or too late.
I hope he does that afternoon. Then everyone will watch the channels that Barky didn’t buy to learn the truth about him. and if it is really good, CBS could preempt Barky, We know NBC would never.
I hope something is released 10 minutes before the program airs. Too late to do anything about it & makes Backtalk O’blahblah look like more of an idiot than he already is (if that is possible).
Oh, and I couldn’t watch Gibson try to help Barky bail his tail out of the wringer, yet again. I’ll never again watch that creep called Gibson! Ever! Didn’t he just look ever so cute cuddling up with his buddy Barky?
Wretch!
You mean he didn’t look down his nose at The Stinky One and be rude and condescending? Shocking.
Gibson’s act with Palin is a classic. I had always liked him, too. I’ve never seen anything remotely as disrespectful as that interview.
Heck, they give campaign aides more respect.
I wanted to see how CNN was handling the ACORN and Ayers accusations so I watched/listened to Larry King and Anderson Cooper. They are covering it all right! They were bashing McCain/Palin unmercifully, trying to show McCain is so out of touch with reality and desperate that he is resorting to using the Ayers/ACORN tactics. Even the republican, Ed Rollins, said McCain has no chance of winning at this point and that he is helping Obama put together a *LANDSLIDE* (Oh, Please, Ed!) election. David Gurgen and Paul Begala were pushing home the idea that McCain has just ‘lost it’ as in his mind.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, there were 3 republican women on Larry King - Bay Buchanan, Kathleen Parker who stands by ‘that’ article she wrote saying Palin should step down, and former US Senator Paul Laxalt’s daughter carrying on about Sarah Palin and what a joke this choice was, calling herself a feminist. These are republicans, now.
Thankfully, Bay resoundingly defended Palin saying only she had energized the repub base as no one else could have done. It all made me feel like *I* am either losing or already lost my own mind.
They had a poll on Larry King asking which team was using the dirtest politics. You guessed it - McCain/Palin by 91% I believe it was out of about 15,000 CNN viewers. They are truly just about as biased as MSNOBAMA. However, I basically STILL believe, like Karl Rove, this will all change again.
I’ve always thought he was a condescending ass towards women he interviews. Didn’t surprise me a bit.
Sounds just like Obama the coward.
BOBO has taken to rounding up the usual suspects.
I thought he knew nothing about his past. What a liar !!
Obama “had assumed” from Bill Ayers’ stature in Chicago, he told the Philadelphia-based Michael Smerconish, that Ayers had been “rehabilitated” since his 1960s crimes.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Obama_on_Ayers_I_assumed_he_had_been_rehabilitated.html?showall
He just will never fess up to the fact he rode in on the coattails of an unrepentant terrorist.
rode his blast wave….
helped bring down the house…
for an earth shattering rise to power
change we can believe in

Barack Obama doesn’t have answers. He just has Hope and Change.
Hope you don’t notice and Change the subject if you do.
The latest news from Mr. Berg’s site.
Berg response in oppostion to Obama / DNC protective order:
Thursday, 09 October 2008 21:38 administrator
Attached is Philip J. Berg’s Opposition to Defendants, the DNC and Obama’s Motion for Protective Order Staying Discovery pending Decision on their Motion to Dismiss. If the Protective Order were granted, discovery could not occur until the standing issue has been resolved and only if it is in favor of the plaintiff.
Following is an excerpt fromthe response:
PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS BARACK H. OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE’S MOTION FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER STAYING DISCOVERY PENDING DECISION ON DISPOSITVE MOTION
Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, Esquire [hereinafter “Plaintiff”] files the within Response in Opposition to Defendants, Barack H. Obama [hereinafter “Obama”] and the Democratic National Committee [hereinafter “DNC’] Motion for Protective Order Staying Discovery Pending Decision on Defendants Dispositive Motion on the following grounds:
1. Defendants’ pending Motion to Dismiss does not entitle them to a Protective Order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) [hereinafter F.R.C.P. 26(c];
2. Defendants have failed to show “good cause” and are therefore not entitled to a protective order under F.R.C.P. 26(c);
3. Defendants have not pointed to any legitimate privacy concerns. Defendants have failed to point out any substantiated specific examples demonstrating that disclosure will cause a defined and serious injury;
4. Plaintiff does not seek access to the requested information for any improper purpose;
5. Defendants have not shown any risk that particularly serious embarrassment will result from the requested documents;
6. The requested information is extremely important for public safety; and “Good Cause” requires a particular need for the protection sought;
7. The sharing of information will promote fairness and efficiency so as not to delay this action;
8. Barack Obama, as U.S. Senator of Illinois and the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States, is a public person, and his citizenship status is a matter of significant public concern and is subject to legitimate public scrutiny. The Democratic National Committee is a public entity and is also subject to public scrutiny; and 9. The public interest in access to the requested information under the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. § 552 is a strong factor in favor of not granting a protective order which would prevent disclosure of such information.
I don’t get why Obama can’t just produce his birth certificate, and I’m talking about a legitimate one. I am 49yrs old, and I have my original birth certificate; not a photocopy, the original. I have had to show it for lots of reasons, and I have never had a problem with doing so. Obama shouldn’t either. I assumed it would be mandatory for someone running for president to have to produce one.
you make a good point. I had to get a copy of mine from the state of PA for a passport. Very easy to get, came with an official seal (as do the ones in CA) and arrived within 6 weeks. So I have to say…something smells in the Obby Camp and it ain’t just Axelrod’s shoes. If he had nothing to hide, he could very easily get an official copy from Hawaii and shove it under all our noses and say…SEE, SEE??
Since he has a passport, he would have had to produce the original birth certificate or a certified true copy certified by the clerk of the Records Division. That is if he was indeed born in Hawaii. Now, if he was born elsewhere and his mother being a U.S. Citizen, then he would have had to submit a Consular Report of Birth (FS-240), Certification of Birth (Form DS-1350 or FS-545)OR foreign birth certificate, parents’ marriage certificate and an affidavit showing all of your US Citizen parent’s periods and places of residence/physical presence in the United States and abroad before your birth.
Soooo, there has to be some kind of record of birth whether a Birth Certificate or a Certification of Birth with all the accompanying forms that he should be able to produce without any problem. I would assume anyway.
Not necessarily. You can also show an old undamaged passport as proof.
The question remains, as he most likely forfeited his US citizenship when he became an Indonesian citizen, did he every apply for US citizenship through the naturalization process like other illegal aliens when he returned to the US for good? I read the entire transcript and it seems that they want either his BC or the Certificate of Naturalization to prove that he is indeed still a US citizen, otherwise, he is not eligible to run. You would think that having a passport proves citizenship. That is true for us regular folks. BO probably does have a US passport (which can be obtained with other types of documentation besides his BC), but in BO’s case, his convoluted travel history raised the many red flags to led to this fiasco.
If you guys have time, the transcript is very interesting and damning to his eligibility to run for President. Berg laid it all out very succinctly and the dots seem to connect, so if Berg’s case has no merit, then there is no reason why even the DNC would not comply and just show us the proof to put the whole thing to rest.
I think this all may be coming together in a perfect storm. Ayres, the unrepentant terrorist still dreaming of destroying the capitalist USA politically and economically. He sets up radical organizations like ACORN in Chicago to develop a radical political base that is interwoven with the existing political structure. People are trained via ACORN to game the political system and elect surrogates who will move the agenda forward. Connections are built with Black Theology activists and Black radicals such as Wright and Farrakhan. The educational system becomes a platform for building destruction. The CAC is born. Obama is discovered and becomes The One. He is wildly successful. A national, international movement grows. The system is attacked in two fundamental ways and ACORN becomes a major tool of attack—gaming the political system by undermining voting systems and elections; gaming the economic system by creating a house of economic cards based upon subprime mortgages and using the Achilles heel of capilaists—greed—to bring them down. Like the hit on the Twin Towers, this is succeeding beyond anyone’s wildest dreams because it is not only bringing down US capital markets but capital markets world wide. And not only have they taken out the Clinton’s, done a final smack down of Bush II but they may just take down both the Democrat and Republican parties. Who would have thought? Yes, Ayres and Dohrn are radically and militantly unrepentant and just about to be triumphant. But those of you who see the economy and the Ayres issue as two different things need to refocus. It is all part of a single fabric and none of it is good for the USA.
This is, unfortunately, just what is happening…absolutely horrifying.
and that is only the prelude.
A. He has the colb, but is content to let people work on it, so they do not work on something else.
or
B. It will show something he does not want seen.
I’ve read that Hank Paulson is from Chicago originally. I just really hope that’s not true.
OMG. There it is. Have we uncovered all of this in time?
You are absolutely right. It is a concentrated effort to destroy the United States of America. We may as well call it what it is, conspiracy.
1. the act of conspiring.
2. an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
3. a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose: He joined the conspiracy to overthrow the government.
4. Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
5. any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result.
What government organization investigates or has charge of this? What group could push to have this investigated? Investigate ACORN for this would be a start. The DNC and caucus fraud would be another. The Chicago Political Machine.
Maybe the NRA? Maybe an ad from We The People in USA today? Would they publish it or say no?
Here is the email for the UK Telegraph. I hope it will be used to send out an SOS.
telegraphenquiries@telegraph.co.uk
We need help and we are being silenced by the “american” MSM.
Have you seen on Fox News the first installment of Obimbo’s story of his life? A miniserie. Shows him with his grandmother and he tells that when he was I think 8-10 yrs. old she used to wake him up at 4:30 in the morning to give him lessons about how to be a good American, or something like that. Lots of photos of his ‘family’… I bet his soap opera fans are going to cry watching this ‘poor’ kid’s story. So tacky…
The sound of electoral defeat is what will be the most satisfying thing to this PUMA’s ears when Obama concedes the night of November 4th.
Local 2 investigates dead voters.
The push to register voters for this year’s presidential election is breaking records.
More than 1.9 million people are registered to vote in Harris County alone.
But how many of the people listed on the voter roll are actually eligible to cast a ballot?
Investigative reporter Amy Davis shows you how hundreds of voters could sway this year’s election — voters who are not even alive.
“All-in-all, a great person, a great woman, just a wonderful person” is how Alexis Guidry described her mother to Local 2 Investigates.
“As far back as I can remember, they’ve always voted in the election,” Guidry said of her parents.
The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis’ mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home.
“It was just very shocking, a little unsettling,” said Alexis Guidry.
It’s unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary.
“She’d be very upset,” Guidry said when asked what her mom would think.
Trent Seibert, of Texas Watchdog, says you should be too.
“This is really disquieting. It’s concerning. It’s worrisome,” said Seibert.
He heads up the non-partisan news group on the web.
Texas Watchdog compared Harris County’s voter registration roll with the Social Security death index and found more than 4,000 matches — registered voters that, it appears, are already dead.
Some of them, like Henderson Hill’s late wife Linda, voted postmortem.
“I would like to know who did it, myself,” Hill told Davis.

From Hannity blog
Galllup Polls was charged with the responsibility of choosing ‘undecided’ voters for the Presidential Town Hall last Tuesday.
Here for the first time, I reveal (Muhuhahahah!!) the intricate, involved, highly scientific methodology that the Gallup Polling Organization uses in finding those ‘uncommitted voters’.
An interview with one Mr. Oliver Clark who asked a question about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the Town Hall Debate on Tuesday:
(read closely…..its subtle)
CLARK: So the Sunday before last, I received a call from the Gallop Poll. They asked a few questions regarding my choice in the Presidential election. They asked who I would vote for. I said most likely I would be voting for Barack Obama. They followed with, “is there any chance that you would change your mind“? I said “Of course anything is possible.” They then asked me as an uncommitted voter would I like to participate in the Town hall debate. I said “Of course!”
There you have it folks…… an ‘uncommitted’ Barack Obama voter!!
He freely admits that on election day he’ll most likely be voting for Barack Obama but hey….hell could freeze over before then.
