Barack Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 via one of their hundreds of subsidiaries operating out of the same address. The purpose: To “Get Out The Vote”. He trained early little ACORNS when they were just little nuts in Chicago–and denies it with his typical pathological liar dexterity.

Fannie Mae was the biggest fraud perpetrated upon America’s economy by the worst of criminals–members of congress,

Fannie Mae’s former CEO walked off with $90 million dollars as a reward for cooking their books and bringing down America,

Barack Obama has collected money from the brothers who live at a Hamas Compound and didn’t bother reporting it to the FEC,

AIG went on yet another trip on taxpayer money–this time to hunt partridge in England,

Nobody cares that Barack Obama is lying about his relationship with a domestic terrorist who still hates America and cannot wait to get his talons even further in the Subversion of America’s education.

Nobody notices that several additional members of the former Weather Underground are working hard to get Barack Obama elected.

Even more ironic, the Ohio Secretary of State needs the Supreme Court to tell her to do her job and allow the counties in Ohio to check several hundred thousand ACORN voter registrations to see if any of them is actually legitimate.

So who are they skewering? Why, Joe the Plumber of Course! A Wrench to the head for him! He questioned The One.

The Breaking News is that Joe isn’t a licensed plumber. And he was obviously a Plant! Obama showed up in Joe’s neighbhorhood and started talking to everybody while they Worshipped, and this guy Joe found out he was going to be there so he obviously moved into a house there really fast so he could pretend to be a resident and could be a plant! Yeah! That’s it…….

So Joe asked him a question like he wasn’t supposed to. He was just supposed to worship. Only it wasn’t a question The One wanted to hear.

And he’s a Republican, which I am assuming they regard as some kind of disease or something. I mean, inquiring minds want to know, Barack. Are you only planning to be President of the left wing of the left wing of the Democratic Party, Communists, Marxists, ex-terrorists and deadbeats? Or do you plan on getting rid of everybody else? You know, people who actually pay taxes and things? Just wondering.

After all, this Joe The Plumber thing is critical stuff! No sense of covering something trivial, like say, Obama’s Old Friend and political fixer Tony Rezko, the shameful slum lord who bilked the taxpayers out of millions to “restore” buildings as living quarters for the poor–but instead turned off the heat and allowed family pets in the form of rats–while Barack Obama looked the other way.

Why bother worrying about Obama’s connections to Rashid Khalidi, former PLO member. when you can check into Joe The Plumber and hit him with his own basin wrench for disturbing The One’s reverie?

Why bother looking into why an Iraqi prison escapee with a mansion in Chicago would contribute to Barack Obama’s campaign when you can tell the world that Joe The Plumber isn’t licensed yet?

All that other stuff is just plain trivial. What’s important is, Joe The Plumber. Why? Well because, it’s not nice to question The One Joe!!!! You made him look foolish, man. That can be downright hazardous.

Deflect. Re-route. Change the subject to something else. It’s what the Obama campaign is all about. Ask them about his terrorist buddies and hear an answer about the weather (scuse the pun). Mention ducks and hear about bears. Deflect, Deflect, Deflect. And if you can’t do that, just kill the messenger.

Congratulations Joe, you are the perfect example of what an Obama Presidency would be like. Complain, show doubt, ask a question, and plan to suffer for it. And get that American Dream crap right out of your head, Joe. That’s a Flusher under an Obama Administration. We need to all be the same, Joe. You know, you fail, I gotta fail too. It’s the Socialist Way, Comrade.

But don’t worry about taxes in the future fella! When they are done with you , you won’t be paying ANY taxes, because you won’t be working! The Secretary of State of your state will toot right along, complicit with voter fraud for The One, but you, Joe…..you are doomed, you bad boy you! You evil person! You don’t even make $250,000 a year, Joe! But don’t worry, you never will when they are done with you.

Now, I have a suggestion for you, Joe. I hear you work 10-12 hours a day. Why bother working so hard, Joe? What you can do if Barack Obama is President is just work enough to make sure you pay no taxes after your write-offs. Then sit and wait for the IRS to give you a check! What a deal, Joe! We’re all going to do it. It’s going to be the Great unAmerican Giveaway!

Get with it Comrade! And for goodness sakes, stop asking questions, will you? It annoys Comrade Obama and gets in the way of the Glorious Cause. That freedom and Democracy stuff is all over-rated anyways. That’s why millions upon millions of immigrants came here to get away from guys just like Barack Obama.

‘‘If you believed (Obama), I’d be receiving his tax cuts,’’ Wurzelbacher said. ‘‘But I don’t look at it that way. He’d still be hurting others.’’

Not as much as he’s gonna hurt YOU, Joe. Your question made The One gaffe. That’s a No-No. You’re toast, fella.

Meanwhile. off to the Re-education camp with you, Joe!

Murray refers to a report coming out of the NYTimes:

If small donors are going to be the fuel that powers campaigns from here on out, then the disclosure laws are probably going to have to change because there is a GIANT loophole. “An analysis of campaign finance records by The New York Times this week found nearly 3,000 donations to Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, from more than a dozen people with apparently fictitious donor information. The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Mr. Obama has raised. But the questionable donations — some donors were listed simply with gibberish for their names — raise concerns about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors.”

Ya think? If someone is entering gibberish for names, as LisaB pointed out in her excellent stories covering the donations of someone named “Derty Pouiiy”, are you really telling me that wouldn’t or shouldn’t raise any red flags for the Obama campaign?

“It is unclear why someone making a political donation would want to enter a false name. Some perhaps did it for privacy reasons. Another, more ominous possibility, of course, is fraud, perhaps in order to donate beyond the maximum limits. There is no evidence that questionable contributions amount to anything more than a small portion of Mr. Obama’s fund-raising haul. The Times’s analysis, conducted over a few days and looking for obvious anomalies, like names or addresses with all consonants, identified about $40,000 in suspect contributions that had not been refunded by the campaign as of its last filing with the Federal Election Commission, in September.”

I’m also not sure just how we can believe the NYTimes “tiny fraction” comment, particularly since last week, the NYTimes erroneously reported that Obama’s ties to unrepentant terrorist William Ayers amounted to ‘nothing to see here folks, let’s move on.’ We see what nonsense that was. The man launched his political career in Ayers’ living room, served on two boards with him and Obama has had continued significant contact with him over many years. I’d say that’s a little more noteworthy than Obama’s statement that Ayers “is just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”

Perhaps a little further investigation on the part of the MSM will bear more fruit in reference to Obama’s receiving both fraudulent and foreign donations as well.

Next on Murray’s watchlist, per the Wall Street Journal,

“The Obama campaign said it was a mistake for an outreach coordinator to join a meeting last month attended by leaders of two controversial Muslim groups as it seeks votes from large Muslim populations in swing states. Minha Husaini, newly named as head of the campaign’s outreach coordinator to Muslims, attended a discussion session Sept. 15 with about 30 Muslim leaders and community members in suburban Washington, the Obama campaign confirmed. Participants included leaders of the Council of American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, which have been cited by the government in the past for ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.”

Since Hamas has already endorsed Obama – not really the kind of endorsement a future President would want, I would have thought – wouldn’t it have been wise for them to do a little checking before looking for votes with organizations that have questionable ties? And that, by the way, is not to offend or exclude members of the Muslim community who have no such ties.

“The Obama campaign’s Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists,” NBC News’ Jim Popkin adds on the NBC Deep Background blog. “The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment, and that its top Muslim staffer would not have attended the meeting if she had known the full participant list beforehand. ‘Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No,’ said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC.”

Another Obama “misjudgment.” They are piling up like crazy. Who’s minding the mint over there?

Murray further tells us that talk radio is all over this today:

A Washington Times report essentially accuses Obama of doing something the Dems accused Reagan of doing in 1980. “At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn’t be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval. Mr. Obama’s conversations with the Iraqi leaders, confirmed to The Washington Times by his campaign aides, began just two weeks after he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination in June and stirred controversy over the appropriateness of a White House candidate’s contacts with foreign governments while the sitting president is conducting a war.”

“Some of the specifics of the conversations remain the subject of dispute. Iraqi leaders purported to The Times that Mr. Obama urged Baghdad to delay an agreement with Mr. Bush until next year when a new president will be in office - a charge the Democratic campaign denies.”

Well, of course the Obama campaign denies it. We have been asking this question for several weeks – did Senator Obama violate the Logan Act?

Please take a look at NancyA story, Obama’s Iraq Double-Take Gate Response and decide for yourself.

Interesting that the most significant story, in re Obama’s possible misconduct during his visit to Iraq, was buried at the bottom of Mr. Murray’s report. Were they hoping we wouldn’t notice?

I find it amazing that internet reporting is ’suspect,’ meanwhile NoQ has been shouting about the above stories and more for months. ACORN fraud in particular is growing huge legs on TV and talk radio. See NancyA’s excellent reporting on this subject.

I have to wonder if MSNBC dipping a toe in the water in at least mentioning the above indicates the backlash they feel from viewers – their ratings have been tanking as a result of their egregiously biased coverage in favor of Senator Obama.

Money seems to be the bottom line with the corporate controlled media in terms of what they will report and who they favor. If their bottom line starts to hurt at the hands of more angry viewers turning them off, it will be interesting to see if more stories like this start cropping up in unlikely places.

But don’t hold your breath.

Up first, we have this lovely button:

For the family that prays for Obama, stays together, or something like that. Well, if what the NY Post had about Obama potentially violating the Logan Act* by attempting to delay troop withdrawal from Iraq to suit HIS political purposes is true, risking lives as a result, he’s gonna need a lot of those prayers. See, it’s illegal - some might even say TREASONOUS - for a civilian to work against a presidential administration in a foreign country. Oopsy daisy!!

Then there is this nice little bumper sticker for all you Catholics out there! You can put this right next to the sticker for your parochial school!

Oh, great! Now I know what to get my good friend, Divine Democrat! Ahem.

And finally, last but not least, there is this:

All hail, the Obama Faithful!! Oh, wait - am I misreading that? Nope, I don’t think I am. That may not be exactly what they WANTED to convey, at least consciously, but that’s about what they seem to expect from their followers - complete and utter devotion. Praise Obama - he has come to liberate us from our pesky morals, our integrity, our sense of decency and fair play! That must be the “Change” Obama promised to bring us!! Hallelujah!!

And just in case you think I am making this up, here is the letter from the Obama Camp:

Dear friends,
Great news! We now have faith merchandise available for you to show your support for Barack Obama as a person of faith.

Check out the Believers for Barack, Pro-Family Pro-Obama, and Catholics for Obama buttons, bumper stickers and signs….

Believers for Barack rally signs and bumper stickers, along with all Pro-Family Pro-Obama merchandise, are appropriate for people of all faith backgrounds. We’ll soon be rolling out merchandise for other religious groups and denominations, but I wanted to get this out to you without delay.

Take good care,

Paul Monteiro
Deputy Director of Religous (sic) Affairs
Obama for America

Oh, YAY! And God-O-Meter said there will be more to come, like “Clergy for Change.” Oh, I cannot WAIT to get one of those! Actually, yes, yes I can. Many of you will like THIS one: “Pro-Israel Pro-Obama.” I wonder how HAMAS and The Nation of Islam will feel about that one…I guess Obama can ask his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, about that.

Now some of you heathens out there might be just a bit sceptical about Obama’s reaching out to the religious among us. Some of you might just be bitterly clinging to his comments about religious folk bitterly clinging to their guns and religion. Oh, ye of little faith!! He cares about you, he really does. Didn’t you see the BUTTON?? Or the STICKER?? C’mon! Don’t play hard to get! Obama loves you, this I know! For his minions have bludgeoned me with that claim for weeks now! I mean - because he shows us in so many ways: FISA, public campaign funds, off-shore drilling, NAFTA, gun control…Oh, I could go on and on with all the ways Obama’s Words have touched our lives. Praise the One who can stop the waters rising, and slow their very movement! Now the Faithful may proudly display the object of their veneration right on their cars and their lapels! Will wonders never cease?!

But wait! There is one more left to see. This courtesy of my talented partner who wanted to make sure we were all represented. Here it is:

Step right up! Order yours today!!

* Text of the Logan Act: Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

My oldest brother sent me the piece Gloria Steinem wrote on Gov. Palin, an elitist, patronizing piece in which she diminishes people who hunt (not understanding, I guess, that many people hunt to put FOOD on the table, especially in these difficult economic times), among other smears. So, I felt compelled to write him back. A lot of this is information those who have been paying attention already know:

I am not an apologist for Sarah Palin, but I find the argument that SHE is inexperienced as Steinem said to be laughable. The DNC selected the least experienced candidate ever, one who refuses to make available ANY paper trail at all - no college or law school transcripts, no medical records, no passports, no birth certificates, and claims he had NOT ONE PAPER or DATE BOOK available from his time in the IL Senate (which is part-time service, btw). One who has no legislative accomplishments of note to his name. Never mind the LONG list of his sordid associates which throw his whole “good judgment” stance out the window.

Or his lack of chairing ONE meeting of the European Affairs Subcommittee, which oversees Afghanistan, and now claims that we need to do more abt Afghanistan,and who wants to return to the foreign policy of DONALD RUMSFELD…If this was BUSH, the Progressives would be going batshit crazy screaming our fool heads off.


But for some reason, this is all fine and dandy. Never mind all of the university professors who are now shrugging off his constant plagiarizing (and his picking a running mate who is also a plagiarizer), an act that can get students thrown OUT of universities. Why? I really don’t get this infatuation with this man! Without a teleprompter, he can barely even talk!! But he is “eloquent,” and has “good judgm ent.” Um, no. And he is sexist as all hell, to boot.

And for some reason, Obama is constantly comparing himself to the VP pick, not the presidential nominee. Much easier for him to pick on a woman than a man, as he demonstrated time and again during this campaign. Flipping Hillary off, brushing her off his shoulder and his shoe, having “99 Problems BUt a Bitch Ain’t One” playing when he won Iowa. Class act this guy. Oh, and for what it’s worth - he lives 1 1/2 blocks away from Bill Ayers, who lives right down the street from the Farrakhan Compound. What a coincidence.

Oh - is now when I tell you that my brother has a PhD., and developed some major software, whose clients include NASA? Yeah. He’s supposed to be smart (my younger brother and his wife - both PhDs - also are big Obama supporters, at least my brother is. My sis-in-law is a “Vote Democrat” no matter what more than anything.). Just goes to show that there is a difference between being educated and having common sense. I can say that because I have BOTH!!! Ahem.

Here’s what he wrote back:

These are interesting accusations. Do you know these things for a fact? What is your source of information? Is there some doubt about the fact that Obama was elected president of the Harvard Law Review? You don’t get to that place by being a flaky biscuit. Is there any doubt about the fact that McCain was at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy?

I don’t follow you with the Donald Rumsfield foreign policy thing. What do you mean?

One thing I can say for sure. I have seen Obama in many interviews and town hall type conversations, besides the podium speeches. He has always impressed me with his speaking ability in off the cuff situations. This is a sharp dude.

I also like Joe Biden very much. He is a solid, decent, knowledgeable person.

At the end of the day, this is about policies, not personalities. Who do you think is going to best implement the objectives of Hillary Clinton? If you say McCain-Palin, then I don’t see how you get there.

Oh, boy. Evidently, he does not have the same desire for sources when others are “accused,” but whatever. And yes, he DID go there about the personalities. Here’s my response:

Yes, I know these things for a fact. This is what I do every day, all day long.

I don’t know if I will even vote this year, so don’t assume I am voting for McCain/Palin. I can say that McCain is an honorable man, and has given his entire life i n service to this country. That means something. He is also moderate, and a reformer, something Obama will NEVER be (oh - today’s BIG report is about Obama raging on Palin, particularly about the Bridge to Nowhere, which she did get rid of afterall - and which HE VOTED FOR TWICE!!! He claimed, “Palin Can’t Just Make Stuff Up!” No, that purview belongs to Obama alone.). But Obama will never get my vote. He should never have assumed he would.

So that’s how my morning started - not at ALL about what I was going to write today. But you never know what is going to come up, I reckon. And I know there is evern more about Obama, but I figured I was pushing my luck with him actually reading it this far.

Ah, families…

Yesterday we read about the $28,500 in contributions to the Obama Campaign by two Palestinian members of a large Hamas-supporting refugee compound who claimed to live in the nonexistant town of Rafah, Georgia. The total later was calculated to be $33,500.

Today the Obama campaign stated that they actually retured that money but “forgot” to report it to the FEC due to a “technical error”.

According to the upstanding and honest Obama Campaign:

The donations came in between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 and virtually all of the money, about $33,500, was returned by December 6. But the refunds weren’t reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error, campaign officials said.

The remaining $2,500 was refunded Monday. The refunds will all be reflected shortly in an amended report. New controls to prevent such attempts are now in place, the campaign said.

Well that settles that, more or less, right?

Nope.

Unfortunately for the Obama campaign, the two USA-hating Hamas lovers Palestinians flat out deny that any of the money was returned to them.

The Obama camp insisted the remaining $2,500 was refunded Monday and all of the refunds will be reflected soon in an amended report. The campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.

But WND asked two of the brothers – Monir and Hasam Edwan – to respond to the campaign’s claims.

“No, we did not receive any money back from the Obama campaign at any time,” said Monir Edwan.

It’s hard to tell which side is lying isn’t it? It takes a liar to know a liar. Let em fight it out.

But that’s not all folks! Since we are on the subject, however indirectly, of Obama’s ties to the types of middle easterners who love to blow people up, shoot women or set them on fire for a diversion–yet another Obama adivisor has resigned.

Chicago lawyer (where else??) Massen Asbahi, Barack Obama’s Arab American and Muslim American outreach coordinator, has resigned as a result of questions about his connections to various dubious Islamist interests in the Middle East (Translation: Funding for terrorists who love to blow Americans and Israelis up).

The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups.

Asbahi “briefly served on the board of Allied Assets Advisors Fund, a Delaware-registered trust [and a subsidiary of the American Islamic Trust]. Its other board members at the time included Jamal Said AKA Sheik Jamal, the imam at the fundamentalist- controlled Bridgeview Mosque in Bridgeview, Ill., outside Chicago],” Simpson and Chozick wrote

Here is his introductory page at mybarackobama. Get it while it’s hot. I am sure it will be scrubbed soon. Not that there aren’t screen shots. No matter though. This is just one more in a long line of Middle Eastern “coincidences” associated with the Obama campaign.

UPDATE: It seems that Winston, directly out of Orwell’s 1984, works for Barack Obama. The mybarackobama page has been scrubbed. For those of you who missed what was written there:

All -

Assalamu-Aleikum. My name is Mazen Asbahi and I’ve been blessed and privileged to be serving the Obama for America Campaign as the National Coordinator for Muslim American Affairs. I’m also coordinating Arab American matters. I’m treating the two roles separately as these are two separate constituencies, though of course there is some overlap.

In order to get Senator Obama elected, the Campaign needs all of you to continue your support and if possible to take it to another level. It’s a race for every vote in the key battleground states, such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio. We need Muslim Americans to get excited about the Campaign, and there’s a lot to get excited about!

Sure, there have been mis-steps. And of course there are added sensitivities with our faith given the “smear” campaign trying to paint the Senator as too exotic and too un-American to be President.

If you have not plugged into the Campaign, please do. The Campaign makes it very easy to do. Visit your local Obama offices and register voters, raise money, get the word out, and pull in your friends and family to also participate.

Please feel free to contact me with ideas, critiques and suggestions for improvements on our outreach strategies. (Please keep in mind that I’ve just signed on :)).

Peace,

Mazen Asbahi

Now, Barky, let’s talk, mmmmmmkay??? Did you already know that taking money from Palestinian citizens is illegal? Just asking. I was wondering, though, since so many have complained about your lax online contribution form, why have you continued to leave your form open to this type of illegal donation. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that you had to donate the $2300 online contribution from your Chicago neighbor, Iraqi prison escapee and Rezko-bribe-loving former Minister of Electricity, Aiham Alsammarae.

Remember? I do.

You sure do have a lot of friends in interesting places, Mr. Obama.

The Real Barack Obama tells us that Monir Edwan and Hosam Edwan from “Rafah GA” donated $29,500 to Barack Obama’s campaign. They just happen to be members of a large Hamas-Supporting clan.

Speaking to WND, the two brothers praised Obama and admitted giving the money online to his campaign. They said they are not U.S. citizens but are citizens of “Palestine.”

But wait! Before you judge these innocent men from the nonexistent ”Rafah GA,” they said it’s all about Obama T-shirts. After all, Barack Obama is indeed very popular among Israel-bombing folks. So, the enterprising brothers bought a boatload of them and claimed to be Americans living in Georgia. Cool. No problem there, right? Nothing sneaky or anything, right?

The donations would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving donations from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

I can’t help but imagine that all of Obama’s little helpers who love his “Manifesto” over in Gaza might have worn these T-Shirts while they made cold calls to American voters during the primaries–urging voters to vote for Obama. I know that all Americans can’t help but think that a call from Gaza City the day of a Primary is a good thing. Truly, Mr. Obama is a Global candidate when it comes to the Middle East. Minus Israel of course. No sense of hanging out with the only pesky democracy over there, right?

You can read more about the two T-Shirt Totin’ Hamas-lovers from “Rafah GA” here.

First Hamas endorsed him and then Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez endorsed him.

And now North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il AKA “Dear Leader” has endorsed him too.

Dear Leader seems particularly ecstatic at the thought of an Obama Presidency, because Obama is going to sit down and talk with him without pre-conditions or anything.

Kim can give Barack a tour of his nuclear reactors and warheads and things and Obama can say,

“Now Kim. Can I call you Kim, man? This is not a good thing, OK buddy? I mean it’s not nice to blow people and things up, you know? “

And Kim is going slap his forehead and say,

“You know, Barry, You’re right! I could have had a V-8! I promise I will stop! I know I promised to disarm a couple of times before but this time I swear, I really mean it, because you are Barack Obama, that’s why!”.

And then they will both sit down to a nice Korean dinner of Japchae and Galbi gui, and later they can stroll around the starving people in the countryside, check out the billboards depicting US forces skewered on People’s Army bayonets, maybe smoke some of those Marlboro knockoffs Dear Leader dumps into the market.

They can have an extended discussion of Dear Leader’s Marxism-Leninism expertise, a subject which Mr. Obama holds great interest in, as loudspeakers calm them both in the background with their gentle soothing declaration of “We must safeguard the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong-il!” And everything will be just fine after that!

In fact, Dear Leader is even going to promise to stop his state-run criminal enterprise, replete with drug-running operations, and scams to counterfeit everything from U.S. dollars to namebrand cigarettes to Viagra. He is going to be healed and Barack Obama can just float right on to his next talk with no pre-conditions.

I’m telling you it’s going to be a miracle.

A miracle I tell you.

I mean look at this face. How can you not trust this face. Ok, Ok, so he has a dead squirrel on his head, but he’s really a sweet guy! Poor Kim is so misunderstood. He didn’t really mean to buy those nuclear reactors or make those warheads or threaten anybody or anything!

Once Barack Obama talks to him, it will be all over, let me tell you. That’s why Europe and surrounding countries aren’t nervous at all about Barack’s idea to just sit down with this good fellow, make Nicey-Nicey and spread Hope-y Change-y everywhere.

Below is a Commercial made by a nonpartisan not for profit organization named Vets for Freedom Political Action Committee. In it, an Iraq combat veteran from Illinois discusses how he and 12 other combat veterans were unable to meet with Barack Obama. This vet wants to know why it is that Barack Obama is willing to meet with despots and terrorist leaders but not with Generals or combat veterans. He wants to know how it is that Barack Obama is so smart about the Middle East when he hasn’t even been there during his two and a half years in the Senate.

“If Barack Obama won’t listen to us, who will he listen to?”

Republicans and John McCain are ready to pounce on the unprepared and unqualified Senator of Illinois. This is yet another reason why Democrats must nominate Hillary Clinton, who would never ignore our veterans and our men and women in uniform. Do Democrats seriously think Obama will win against McCain if two of the important issues of this election are national security and veterans’ issues? We are in for a long and uncomfortable ride this November if they actually do.

Runaway inflation,
Dismantling the CIA,
the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
Iran taking Americans hostage
Gas lines

So why do I say Barack is acting like a 21st Century Jimmy Carter, only not as bright?

Look at his contortions on Iran and Hamas. Ignore for a moment last week’s gaffe in which Barack claimed the reason we are having trouble in Pashto-speaking Afghanistan is because our Arabic translators are tied up in Iraq. Let’s ignore the fact that the Afghans don’t speak Arabic. Check out Barack’s contradictory positions on Iran. Speaking in Billings, Montana Barack said:

“Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the region and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel’s existence. It denies the Holocaust,” he said. “The reason Iran is so much more powerful than it was a few years ago is because of the Bush-McCain policy of fighting in Iraq and refusing to pursue direct diplomacy with Iran. They’re the ones who have not dealt with Iran wisely.”

But later that same day, before an audience in Portland, Barack said that Iran, among others, was not a serious threat:

We can solve all problems if we just talk to these folks. But here’s the problem for Barack. He wants to convince voters that he is proposing basic diplomacy–you know, just like Reagan talking to Gorbachev–when, in fact, he is proposing the exact opposite. No President since World War II has proposed unconditional negotiations with any of our enemies. But that is exactly what Barack is proposing with respect to Iran. Accoring to the New York Times:

Making clear that he planned to talk to Iran without preconditions, Mr. Obama emphasized further that “changes in behavior” by Iran could possibly be rewarded with membership in the World Trade Organization, other economic benefits and security guarantees. . . .Senator Barack Obama said he would “engage in aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran if elected president, and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek “regime change” if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues.

Barack does not understand that in dealing with Iran we must make clear that there are fundamental principles we will not compromise.

So perhaps Barack Obama could explain why he insists on pre-conditions for talks with Hamas–an elected entity that has not carried out significant terrorist attacks against the United States–but not Iran, who has conducted more terrorist attacks against the United States than any country or entity in the world? In fact, one could argue that Iran’s support for groups like Hamas (and even more for Hezbollah) would make Hamas but a proxy for Iran. So Barack, depending on his physical location, believe that Iran is and is not a grave threat. He believes that we should talk to Iran without pre-conditions but should not talk to the terrorist group funded by Iran unless they meet certain conditions. Confused? You bet.

Democrats get ready. Barack Obama is Jimmy Carter without the brains. Jimmy Carter was a nuclear scientist. But his failure to confront the threat of Islamic extremism in Iran opened the door for the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeni. This in turn sent shivers through the oil markets. The price of oil went up. Supplies dipped. And Americans were introduced to gas lines. And Carter’s solution? He donned a cardigan sweater and asked Americans to turn down their thermostats to 68 degrees as preliminary steps for confronting the energy crisis. Despite his training as a nuclear scientist, Jimmy Carter was generally perceived as a naive bonehead. He was genuinely surprised when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in late 1979. His policies of placating the Soviets blew up in his face and ultimately put this nation in peril. The election of Jimmy Carter was in part a reaction to the corruption of the Republicans during Watergate. The subsequent defeat of Jimmy Carter was a reaction to his weak and feckless policies.

But Jimmy does not get all of the blame. No sir. He had a foreign policy guru–Zbigniew Breszinski. Funny thing. Guess who also is advising Barack Obama? Yep, Zbig is back. And Barack reportedly is taking some cues from him.

There is nothing wrong negotiating with rogue states and actors. But there is something very wrong and very foolish about agreeing to negotiate without preconditions. On this particular issue Barack is clearly not ready for prime time.

UPDATED–Some of you are skimming rather than reading. I do not blame Jimmy for the Soviet invasion. However, it happened on his watch and is part of his legacy. Moreover, Carter was wringing his hands and expressing surprise that the nasty old Commies would do such a thing. For those of us who were following events at the time, this simply reinforced the image of Carter as weak and feckless. That’s the point.

I felt I had let my readers down by not jumping on Barack’s Ebay waffle sooner. I felt like such a failure that it was a good thing that Hillary came through to cheer me by handing Obama his ass on a plate in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.

Now, those of you who know me also know that I never give up. Having lost the timely opportunity to write about Barack’s waffle, I believed that my readers would lose faith in Uppity once they found out that she didn’t do her homework soon enough.

But, being a tenacious little bugger, bearing dozens of sexist Corporate America scars to prove it, I wasn’t going to let Barry’s waffle go unrecognized–if for no other reason than the symbology of it all. I mean what else would he order for breakfast but waffles, considering his ever-reversible stances on things like gun control and raising payroll taxes on the middle class?

It seems that, as it is with all immature children, Barry didn’t finish his breakfast and someone snatched what was left of the spitty meal from Plastic Jesus’ blessed plate. This, by the way, was the same waffle Barry used as an excuse not to answer a reporter’s question.

Having successfully avoided traveling reporters’ questions for ten days since he declared half of PA to be racist hicks who pray a lot and hang onto guns, Barry had gotten very creative.

When the reporter approached him and asked him about Carter’s visit to his terrorist endorsers, Hamas, Barry No-More-Debates Obama responded, “Why can’t I eat my waffle“.

When pressed further, Barry said, “Just let me eat my waffle”. Atta way, Barry. No sense of discussing a few more of your “casual” terrorist friends when you are about to get your ass handed to you on a plate in another Primary, right?

Apparently, Barry was lying again. And he wasn’t just lying about Hamas either. The fact is, he didn’t eat his waffle and here’s the proof. As you can see, Barack didn’t finish his waffle and some very enterprising person saw an Ebay opportunity with the potential to match the income generated by the cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary on it.

I mean if people would be willing to pay thousands for an image of the Virgin Mary on a half-eaten cheese sandwich, imagine what people would be willing to bid for Jesus Obama’s waffle, complete with his DNA and spit on it! Not only that but he left his little sausage behind in Pennsylvania too! Why don’t you think about that. I’ll wait….

Now you have got to love America — what’s left of it. Just as Barack’s waffle and his sausage were…um…pulled from Ebay, another enterprising soul was ready to capture Barry’s spitty breakfast for posterity! Here we have an interpretive painting of Barack Obama’s waffle listed on Ebay.

Now, if you look at the original and do a comparison, you will see that this is indeed a very realistic rendition offered by this published artist, wouldn’t you agree?

At the time of this entry, this listing of an artist’s rendition of Barack’s waffle and little sausage has had more than two thousand hits. I just hope the holder of the original doesn’t sell it for DNA. I would hate to think anybody would clone the vapid jerk in the perpetual disconcerting black suit.
