DENIAL DENIAL DENIAL - THAT'S ALL WE HEAR FROM THE LEFT

THE LEFT IS DEEP IN DENIAL:
  • THEY SAY THAT MCCAIN-PALIN ARE NOT REALLY GETTING BIG CROWDS
  • THEY SAY THAT OBAMA HASN'T SLIPPED BADLY IN THE POLLS
  • THEY SAY THAT WE LOST THE IRAQ WAR
  • THEY SAY THAT THE SURGE FAILED
  • THEY SAY THAT DRILLING FOR DOMESTIC OIL WON'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON SUPPLIES
  • THEY SAY THAT BIDEN WAS A GOOD PICK
  • THEY SAY THAT PALIN ISN'T QUALIFIED - BUT OBAMA IS
AND SO ON... NOT ONE IS REMOTELY TRUE.
  • AND WHEN MCCAIN WINS THEY WILL SAY HE STOLE IT.
  • AND WHEN OUR TROOPS RETURN HOME - VICTORIOUS, THE LEFT WILL CLAIM THEY HELPED...
THEY'RE LESS THAN USELESS SCUM.

MORE SAUDI INSANITY: HIGH JUDGE SAYS KILLING BROADCASTERS OF "IMMORAL" TV SHOWS IS OKAY

BBC:
The most senior judge in Saudi Arabia has said it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes.

Sheikh Salih Ibn al-Luhaydan said some "evil" entertainment programmes aired by the channels promoted debauchery.

Dozens of satellite television channels broadcast across the Middle East, where they are watched by millions of Arabs every day.

The judge made the comments on a state radio programme.

He was speaking in response to a listener who asked his opinion on the airing of programmes featuring scantily-dressed women during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

"There is no doubt that these programmes are a great evil, and the owners of these channels are as guilty as those who watch them," said the sheikh.

"It is legitimate to kill those who call for corruption if their evil can not be stopped by other penalties."
AND THESE ARE OUR ALLIES!?!?!?
  • IT'S INSANE.
  • NATIONS THAT PERMIT THIS CRAP SHOULD BE SHUNNED FROM ALL MODERN INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
  • WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW THEM IN THE WTO OR THE UN OR GET LOANS FROM THE WORLD BANK OR THE IMF OR BUY OUR MILITARY HARDWARE.
  • THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE NEED ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
  • AND THE ONLY THING STOPPING US IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

GIBSON VERSUS PALIN: "Compared to Obama's initial foreign policy mutterings, Palin is a mistress of statecraft. "

COMMENTER AT TOM'S J.O.M. [MY EDITING]:
Some folks are arguing that the Gibson interview shows that Palin can't cut the mustard in foreign policy, while ignoring Obama's initial willingness ... to meet without preconditions the leaders of just about any type of regime.

Get a clue, folks.

Compared to Obama's initial foreign policy mutterings, Palin is a mistress of statecraft.

If you believe in high marginal tax rates for higher income folks and refundable tax credits for lower income folks - (in effect expanding the use of the tax system as part of the welfare state),

skepticism of missile defense - (which in effect leaves us at the mercy of any nuclear power),

and a policy of conciliatory accomodation with our adversaries,

[THEN] by all means give money to, exhort other people to support, and vote for Obama.

But spare me the meretricious nonsense that Palin is not ready to be Veep or Prez.

If she isn't ready, Zero most assuredly isn't.
EXACTLY.

GULP: LEFTIST ALLIANCE PREPARED TO SPEND $350 MILLION BETWEEN NOW AND THE ELECTION

BURIED IN A WASH POST ARTICLE --- ABOUT A "PICKENS/ROVIAN PLAN" (THAT NEITHER ARE INVOLVED IN) TO "SMEAR" OBAMA LIKE THE SWIFTIES DID KERRY (WHICH REALLY MEANS JUST TELL THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH!) --- IS THIS TIDBIT:
On the Democratic side, much of that effort appears to be falling to labor unions and a handful of well-known advocacy groups such as MoveOn.org and the Sierra Club. In the spring, a coalition of liberal groups that included the AFL-CIO announced plans to spend $350 million on political activities during the 2008 campaign season, but they have been slow in coming together.
WE HAD BETTER BE PREPARED...

HOW CONVENIENT: HUNTER BIDEN RESIGNS FROM LOBBYING FIRM

VIA KJ/NRO - NYT:
Mr. [R. HUNTER] Biden has been a partner at Oldaker, Biden & Belair, a law and lobbying firm, since 2001.

He has mostly lobbied for biotechnology companies and for colleges seeking Congressional earmarks, which many critics consider a form of pork-barrel politics.
BIDEN'S SON USED HIS FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO MAKE HIMSELF RICH. IT DOESN'T GET MORE CORRUPT THAN THAT.
  • THE EARMARK THING RUNS IN THE FAMILY: OBAMA AND BIDEN VOTED FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
  • PALIN STOPPED IT.
  • OBAMA HAS NEARLY ONE BILLION DOLLARS OF EARMARKS TO HIS "CREDIT".
  • MCCAIN HAS NONE. ZERO. NADA.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

WAS OBAMA A DRUG DEALER AT COLUMBIA? CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SAYS YES




STRANGE FACTS HERE - BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN:
  • WHY WAS OBAMA TRAVELING TO PAKISTAN IN 1981? (NOT KENYA, PAKISTAN.)
  • WAS IT A PILGRIMAGE? DID IT HAVE TO DO WITH HIS MUSLIM FAITH?
  • OR HIS FATHER'S MUSLIM FAITH?
  • OR DID IT HAVE TO DO WITH HIS DRUG-DEALING AT COLUMBIA?
  • OR WITH HIS DRUG DEALING FRIENDS?
  • OR WITH HIS MUSLIM FRIENDS?
  • DID OBAMA DO MORE THAN HIS ADMITTED "RECREATIONAL" POT AND COCAINE? WAS HE A DEALER OR POT, COCAINE, AND HEROINE?
  • WHY HAS OBAMA NEVER SHARED ANY DETAILS OF HIS COLUMBIA YEARS?
  • WHAT IS HE HIDING?
  • AND WHY WON'T THE MSM INVESTIGATE?
  • HERE'S A PHOTO OF OBAMA IN HIGH SCHOOL: HE LOOKS VERY STONED. HIS HALF-SISTER LOOKS SOBER.

HEY NYTIMES: THIS IS YOUR BACKYARD; YOU SHOULD OWN THIS STORY.

THE ATLANTIC'S COVER FEATURING MCCAIN: THEY MUST THINK WE'RE STUPID, DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND


















HERE'S HOW THE MSM DEPICTS MCCAIN VERSUS OBAMA.


















THEY ARE SO BIASED, THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE HOW THIS CRAP PLAYS AMONG THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.

WE AREN'T AS DUMB AS THEY THINK WE ARE.

THE LEFT'S CONDESCENDING HATRED OF PALIN CONTINUES UNABATED: CAVETT AND THE NYTIMES SLIME SARAH

FIRST FAILED TALK SHOW HOST - AND LOOTER OF AMERICAN INDIAN ARTIFACTS - DICK CAVETT PENS A SNARKY HIT PIECE ON PALIN - AS IF SHE WAS UNQUALIFIED TO BE VEEP. VEEP. VEEP.
  • PALIN IS AS QUALIFIED AS EDWARDS WAS IN 2004,
  • AND AS SIBELIUS AND KAINE WERE THIS TIME AROUND.
  • CAVETT WASN'T WHINING THEM.
  • THIS PROVES THAT HIS SNARKY ATTACK IS SEXIST AND PARTISAN. AND BASELESS.
THEN THERE'S WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF FRONT-PAGE "INVESTIGATIVE" HIT-PIECES ATTACKING PALIN AS GOVERNOR.
  • ER UM.... WHEN WILL THE NYTIMES SEND THE SAME NUMBER OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS TO SCOUR OBAMA'S TIES TO AYERS AND REZKO AND THE ILLINOIS COMBINE?
  • MOST PEOPLE SEE THESE REPORTS FOR WHAT THEY TRULY ARE: ATTACK PIECES BY A PARTISAN PRESS.
THAT'S WHY PALIN'S NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP, AND THE CIRCULATION NUMBERS FOR THE NYTIMES GO DOWN DOWN DOWN..

ABC's Shameful Double Standard

Via Ed Morrissey, compare and contrast Charles Gibson's questions for Barack Obama--the PRESIDENTIAL Candidate with arguably LESS experience than Sarah Palin--and his questions for the Republican VICE PRESIDENTIAL Candidate; then compare those questions to the questions Gibson asked 4 years ago of Democrat VP Candidate John Edwards. The results are stunningly obvious, and can only lead to one conclusion:

First, the Anchoress has a list of questions posed by Gibson to Barack Obama three months ago, who has arguably less experience on foreign policy than Palin and no executive experience at all:

Obama interview:

How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?

Palin interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
-Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

Newsbusters, meanwhile, has Gibson’s interview with John Edwards in 2004 after being selected as John Kerry’s running mate. Edwards had less than a full term in the Senate as his entire political background, and no foreign-policy, military, or executive experience at all. Yet Gibson didn’t press Edwards on these points at all. In fact, the entire interview consisted of a hard-hitting interrogation … on how mean Republicans are:

GIBSON: You speak with such equanimity this morning. Didn’t they make you mad last night?

EDWARDS: Oh, I thought they were over the top, completely over the top. And, and actually what bothered me more than anything was in the midst of -I mean, there was, if you, if you got up and went to your refrigerator to get a Diet Coke, you would -you would miss everything Dick Cheney had to say about health care and everything he had to say about jobs. I mean, this is the first, we’ve had 11 straight presidents in this country, Charlie, who have created jobs. This is, until George Bush. You know, we’ve got all these folks who are having trouble with their health care premiums going up, 26, 27 hundred dollars, and what do they have to say about it? Nothing. I mean, don’t people deserve to know from their president and vice president what it is they’ve done and what it is they’re going to do? And instead, all we hear is a lot of rhetoric about, about their opponent. I mean, I just think leaders in this country, the American people deserve leaders who are better than that and do better than that.

GIBSON: Did you get mad, though?

EDWARDS: Oh, yeah. I was, I was, especially about the personal attacks against John Kerry, because they’re false. I know this guy and I know what he’s made of inside and he’s ready to lead this country.

When you consider the comparative softballs that Gibson lobbed to Obama/Edwareds vs. his condescending "interrogation" of Sarah Palin, and then you couple this gaping disparity with ABC News' decision to edit out ALL of the context in Palin's so-called "controversial" answers, it is impossible to reach any other conclusion besides the obvious: ABC in the tank for the Democrats, every bit as much as MSNBC, NBC, CBS and CNN.
I cannot stress strongly enough how disgraceful this is: in such an important National election, in such consequential times, for our supposedly "objective" media to be this blatantly biased? Horrific.

When the closest thing to truly fair or balanced news coverage truly DOES comes from Center-right leaning Fox News, the paradigm of an informed citizenry making informed decisions about its leaders--which once upon a time we were all "sold" in High School civics class-- has now been exposed once and for all for the fraudulent myth that it really is.

These are not journalists acting responsibly, this is a runaway train--a Stalinist propaganda machine that is so drunk on its own "power" and influence that all objectivity is thrown to the wind. The left-leaning Bias has always been there in a subtle way, but all subtlety is long gone now. It is no longer a secret: the whole country knows that its media is trying to manipulate it now.

Still, I am sticking to my prediction that the blatant double standard in the way the so-called "independent media" advocates have treated Sarah Palin (or any Republican, for that matter...) will blow up in the Left's (and Big Media's) faces. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

UPDATE - Even Peggy Noonan understands these dynamics (and she can hardly be accused of being 'on board' originally with the Palin pick):
The slide started with the Rick Warren interviews in August, just as America was starting to pay attention. Verdict? McCain: normal. Obama: odd.

Then Mrs. Palin, and the catastrophe of the Democratic and media response to her. Books will be written about this, but because it's so recent, and so known, we're almost not absorbing how huge it was, and is. Here was the central liberal mistake: They used the atom bomb just a few days in. They used it so brutally, and yet so ineptly, in a way so oblivious to the true contours of the field, that the radiation blew back over their own lines. They used it without preliminary diplomatic talks, multilateral meetings or Security Council debate. They just went boom. And it boomeranged.

The atom bomb was personal and sexual perfidy, backwoods knuckle-draggin' ma and pa saying, Tell the neighbors the baby's ours. Then the ritual abuse of the 17-year-old girl. Then the rest of it—bad mother, religious weirdo. (On this latter it must be noted that Mrs. Palin never told a church that the Iraq war was God's will; she asked them to pray that it was God's will. It wasn't the sound of Republican hubris, it was the sound of Christian humility: We can't know the mind of God, we can only pray we are in accord with it.)

All of this was unacceptable to normal Americans. They experienced it as the town gossip spreading rumor and slander before the new neighbor even got to put down her bags. It offended the American sense of fairness. And—it still lives!—gallantry.

Most crucially, the snobbery of it, the meanness of it, reminded the entire country, for the first time in a decade, what it is they don't like about the left. Really, America had forgotten. Mr. Obama's friends reminded them. Unforgettably.

And it wasn't just excitable bloggers or 24-hour cable news shows desperate to fill the maw. The chairwoman of the South Carolina Democratic Party said this week that Mrs. Palin's "primary qualification [for vice president] seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion."

DESPITE A NEW PUSH FOR WHITE MIDDELCLASS VOTERS, OBAMA IS NO FRIEND OF THE MIDDLECLASS WHITES


FOR TWENTY YEARS OBAMA PRAYED IN A CHURCH WHOSE CENTRAL TENET WAS ANTI-MIDDLECLASS.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE:
his adherence to the creed of the prominent South Side church he attends, Trinity United Church of Christ. The congregation posits what it terms a Black Value System, including calls to be "soldiers for black freedom" and a "disavowal of the pursuit of middleclassness."
NOTE: THEY'RE NOT FOR UNIVERSAL FREEDOM. AND THEY'RE NOT OPPOSED TO GREEDY "UPPERCLASSNESS".

HERE ARE THE COMPLETE TWELVE:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the black community.
3. Commitment to the black family
4. Dedication to education
5. Dedication to the pursuit of excellence.
6. Adherence to the black work ethic.
7. Commitment to self discipline and self respect.
8. Disavowal of the pursuit of "middleclassness".
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquiring skills available to the black community.
10. Pledge to allocate regularly a portion of personal resources for strengthening the black institutions.
11. Pledge allegiance to black leadership who espouse and embrace the black value system.
12. Personal commitment to the black value system.
NOTE: THIS LIST EXPLICITLY STATES THAT THE CHIRCH DOES NOT SUPPORT ALL RACES, BUT JUST BLACKS - EXCLUSIVELY. THIS IS A RACIST CREED.
  • IF YOU ARE WHITE, AND IF YOU ARE MIDDLECLASS, THEN OBAMA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
  • IN SAN FRANCISCO, OBAMA TOLD HIS RICH SUPPORTERS HOW HE REALLY FELT ABOUT US: WE ARE BITTER MORONS WHO CLING TO GOD AND GUNS INSTEAD OF SOCIALISM BECAUSE WE ARE FRUSTRATED DUMMIES.
WE MUST VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

POLL: MCCAIN IS MORE BI-PARTISAN AND "POST-PARTISAN" THAN OBAMA

RASMUSSEN:
If elected President, 63% of voters say that John McCain is likely to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats to pass important legislation. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 51% say that Barack Obama will do the same if elected.

Ninety-two percent (92%) of Republicans say that McCain is likely to work in this bi-partisan manner along with 35% of Democrats.

As for Obama, 78% of Democrats say he’d be likely to reach across the aisle but only 17% of Republicans say it’s likely to work out that way.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 67% expect a President McCain to work with Democrats while 54% say a President Obama would work with Republicans.
  • OBAMA IS NOT SEEN AS EITHER THE POST-RACIAL, POST-PARTISAN OR POST-FEMINISM CANDIDATE.
  • AND MOST PEOPLE ALSO THINK HE LACKS THE LEADERSHIP OR EXPERIENCE OF MCCAIN.
  • IT WILL BE A LANDSLIDE FOR THE GOP.
MORE FROM RASMUSSEN:
The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows McCain leading in states with 200 Electoral College votes while Obama has the edge in states with 193 votes.. When “leaners” are included, shows Obama leading 259-247 (see Quick Campaign Overview).

... Rasmussen Markets data now shows gave McCain to be a slight favorite for victory in November. These figures are updated on a 24/7 basis by market participants and currently give McCain a 50.6 % chance of victory. Expectations for Obama are at 48.7 %. Prior to this past week, expectations for a Democratic victory had generally been in the 60% range.
IT WILL BE A LANDSLIDE FOR MCCAIN.

Gasoline: the real price-gougers

Hurricane Ike threatens our largest oil refineries...

Gas prices hit all-time highs...

...and the Democrat-controlled Congress continues to prohibit drilling for energy around 93% of the U.S. In fact, they even prohibit exploration!

It's nothing new. In 1994 Democrat Bill Clinton vetoed exploration in Alaska

In 2008 Democrat Nancy Pelosi claimed that drilling for oil is a "hoax".

And in July of this year Democrat Ken Salazar refused to consider drilling even if gas hit $10 a gallon!

Ten dollar gas? Vote for Energy. Vote McCain-Palin.

PALIN 50% MORE POPULAR AMONG REPUBLICANS THAN BIDEN IS AMONG DEMOCRATS

IN THEIR FIRST TEST OF PRESIDENTIAL DECISION-MAKING, MCCAIN MADE A BETTER PICK THAN OBAMA; RASMUSSEN:
So far John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate has Republicans far more likely to give money to his campaign than Democrats responding to Barack Obama’s selection of Joseph Biden.

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans say they are more likely to give money to the McCain campaign with the Alaska governor running for vice president, while 46% of Democrats say the same with the longtime Delaware senator on the ticket, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Only 12% of Republicans say they are less likely to give, compared to 19% of Democrats. While one-quarter of GOP voters (25%) say the Palin selection has no impact on their decision to contribute, nearly a third of Democrats (32%) feel that way (crosstabs available for Premium Members).
SHE HAS ENERGIZED THE BASE. AND TURNED ON WOMEN VOTERS.
  • THE ONLY QUIBBLE: IS SHE QUALIFIED?
  • BUT PALIN IS AS QUALIFIED TO SERVE AS VICE PRESIDENT AS JOHN EDWARDS WAS IN 2004, AND AS QUALIFIED AS SIBELIUS OR KAINE WERE THIS GO ROUND.
  • AND ER... UM, AS QUALIFIED AS OBAMA IS.
ERGO: PALIN WAS A GREAT PICK.

WAS COMMUNIST FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS MERELY OBAMA'S MENTOR?

THE FACT THAT OBAMA'S MENTOR WAS A COMMUNIST HAS HIT THE MSM - IN THE UK, AT LEAST. HERE'S THE TELEGRAPH STORY FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO.

BUT US THAT REALLY THE FULL EXTENT OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

HERE'S A PHOTO OF OBAMA JUNIOR (MIDDLE), AND HERE'S ONE OF FRANK DAVIS (LEFT) AND BH OBAMA SENIOR (RIGHT).

















QUESTION:
  • WHO LOOKS MORE LIKE FATHER AND SON, FRANK & BARRY OR BARRY AND OBAMA SENIOR?
  • LOOK AT THE SUPRA-ORBITAL RIDGES, THE FOREHEAD, THE HAIRLINE, THE EYEBROWS, THE EYELIDS, THE JOWLS, THE CHEEKBONES - AND THE EARS.
  • FACT: IMO, BARRY OBAMA JUNIOR LOOKS NOTHING LIKE BARACK OBAMA SENIOR, AND VERY MUCH LIKE FRANK DAVIS.
  • AND BARRY HAS MANY OF FRANK'S TRAITS: LIKE A GIFT FOR WRITING, FOR INSTANCE.
  • AND IT GIVES OBAMA JUNIOR A VERY DEEP CONNECTION TO CHICAGO - FRANK'S HOMETOWN. A REAL REASON TO MOVE THERE.
  • REMEMBER: STANLEY ANN DUNHAM WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE MARRIED OBAMA SENIOR. MAYBE IT WASN'T HIS CHILD.
  • FRANK DAVIS WROTE IN HIS MEMOIR THAT HE AND HIS WIFE HAD A THREESOME WITH A WHITE GIRL NAMED ANN - AGED 14.
  • WAS THIS STANLEY ANNE DUNHAM - AGED 17?
  • IF THIS IS SO, THEN MAYBE SHE MARRIED OBAMA SENIOR BECAUSE SHE KNEW THE CHILD WOULD BE BLACK AND SHE NEEDED A BLACK HUSBAND.
  • DID THEY MAKE A DEAL: SHE GOT A FATHER FOR HER BABY AND HE GOT STAY IN THE USA?
THIS CAN BE EASILY PROVEN: JUST GET A DNA TEST FROM A RELATIVE IN KENYA AND SEE IF IT MATCHES BARRY OBAMA JUNIOR'S.

JUST ASKING. 'CAUSE ON THE FACE OF IT, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE BARRY IS RELATED TO DAVIS NOT OBAMA SENIOR.

ADDENDUM:

IT'S INDISPUTABLE THAT OBAMA HASN'T BEEN HONEST OR OPEN ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH REZKO OR AYERS.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T TRUST A WORD HE SAYS ABOUT ANYTHING - INCLUDING HIS BIOGRAPHY.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

  • I HAVE SEVERAL CLOSE FRIENDS WHO ARE BI-RACIAL COUPLES WITH BI-RACIAL KIDS AND THEIR KIDS ALL HAVE FAMILY RESEMBLANCES. ALL. THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR MOTHER OR FATHER - OR BOTH.
  • OBAMA DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HIS MOTHER, AND DOESN'T RESEMBLE HIS FATHER AT ALL.
  • AND OBAMA DOESN'T EVEN RESEMBLE ANYONE IN HIS FATHER FAMILY IN KENYA.
  • OBAMA LOOKS LIKE FRANK DAVIS.

Adding this (5/13):

TEN REASONS WHY IT'S COMPLETELY REASONABLE TO DOUBT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PARENTAGE AND SUSPECT HIS REAL FATHER IS FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS

Friends have asked me to summarize why I think Frank Marshall Davis is Obama's real father.

First off there's this: why did his mother go to Chicago to become an au pair for the summer of 1960 (we know this was when she went from a passage in Obama's memoir) - her family's first summer in Hawaii? Her family was from Kansas and Washington state - with no known connections to Chicago at all. Why would her parents allow her to go there. Certainly not to work for some unknown family in some unknown neighborhood.

FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS WAS FROM CHICAGO - AND DAVIS'S WHITE WIFE WAS FROM A RICH CHICAGO FAMILY.

Perhaps the Davises made the connection. While in Chicago, Davis was connected to the Jarrett's and the Ayers. Maybe young Stanley Ann Dunham even babysat for young Billy Ayers - he would have been about 10 or 11.

That would mean that the Dunham's and the Davis's were friends YEARS before the "official version" which claims that Davis was a poker playing buddy of the old man Stanley Dunham - but they're hardly birds of a feather - except for their left-wing politics.

Second: There's very suggestive evidence that Mr. and Mrs. Davis were VERY friendly with the young Stanley Ann Dunham - and by very I do mean SEXUALLY CLOSE: in his memoir, Frank Davis wrote, there's an episode in which he describes a three-some he and his wife had with a 14 year old white virgin named... ANN, of all things. Seems to me this could have very well been Stanley ANN Dunham in real life.

Third: Obama looks more like Frank Davis and Frank's son Mark Davis than he looks like Barack Senior or any member of the Obama clan - and I do mean clan - over there in Kenya. In my opinion, Obama Jr. has a family resemblance to the Davis's as much as to the Dunham's but none whatsoever to the Obama's in Kenya.

Fourth: Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetero decided to leave Barack Jr. in Hawaii and return alone to SE Asia. She left him with her parents and under the tutelage of Frank Davis - ostensibly to provide young Barry with a good black male role model. But perhaps the REAL reason she felt so secure about ABANDONING her son, was that she was depositing him with his real/biological father?

Fifth: As a teen, Obama wrote a poem - which was published at the time - about Frank Davis. Barry Obama Jr. titled his poem about Frank Davis "POP".

Sixth: Barack's first job was in Chicago. A place he ostensibly has no other connection to besides the fact that his mother was an au pair there (with a rich family that nobody seems to be willing to identify). What's key here is that Obama Jr has told 2 different accounts of how he got this job (one in his book and another to a graduating class at Wesleyan), and the guy who hired him - Kellman - has 2 completely different takes on it (one he told a reporter and one he told at the nominating convention in Denver). THAT'S RIGHT: THERE ARE 4 VERSIONS FROM THE 2 PRINCIPAL PLAYERS. That's odd - unless they are lying; (it's easy to tell the same story over and over again when it's the truth and you've got nothing to hide). Kellman was a protege of Alinsky who was a Chicago comrade of Frank Marshall Davis. Obama and Kellman want to hide this fact, this connection.

Seventh: Obama got into Harvard Law School with references from Percy Sutton who was connected to Malcolm X who was connected to Chicago through the Nation of Islam. Also helping young Obama was a big-time Nation of Islam member from Texas - a place Obama had never ever been. How did young Obama get these references, who was his connection? I'd guess it had to be someone with very strong Chicago connections. DAVIS, again.

Eighth: When Obama graduated from Harvard Law he didn't get a prestigious job at some big Boston or New York or Hawaii law firm or clerk with a big-time federal judge. He could have easily done any of those as the first black Harvard Law Review Editor. He chose instead to work for an extremely politically connected law firm in CHICAGO, of all places. A law firm that did work for REZKO and employed his future wife - the daughter of a CHICAGO MACHINE ALDERMAN. In the Chicago Machine, in order to GET IN THE DOOR, you first have to answer a question: "WHO SENT YOU?" You cannot get in unless someone with connections sent you.UPDATE: Valerie Jarrett worked at the law firm too - and Her father in law was a buddy of... FRANK DAVIS.  (Her mom was pals with Tom Ayers = Bill Ayers father. OH: she was born in... Tehran.) (ASIDE: maybe Stanley Ann baby sat for her?!)

SO WHO SENT OBAMA?

The ONLY person who answers ALL of these points and makes ALL of the connections for Barack Obama Junior is FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS.

Only Davis connects all the dots and could have connected Obama to the Ayers and the Jarretts and the Nation of Islam and Kellman and EVERYTHING ELSE.

Frank Marshall Davis didn't do this for everyone - or anyone else. He did it for his first son. The son he expected to fulfill all of HIS DREAMS.

YUP: The REAL FATHER in the title Dreams From My Father is Frank Marshall Davis.

(And I think the REAL AUTHOR of Dreams - Bill Ayers - knows ALL OF THIS. And that the title Ayers chose is an inside joke. I know that Obama was contacted by literary agent Jane Dystel after winning the election to become head of the Harvard Law Review. I know he failed for years to produce a decent manuscript. I think those who argue Ayers is the real author are correct).

Ninth: Neil Abercrombie is the new left-wing Governor of Hawaii. He PROMISED he would put all the "birther" lies to rest by releasing Obama's REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE as soon as he became governor. Now, he is singing a different tune: he says he cannot release it unless Barack Junior allows it to be released - and Barack Junior is NOT allowing it to be released.

WHY WON'T BARACK JUNIOR RELEASE THE ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? WHAT IS HE HIDING?

Tenth: Officials have seen the actual birth certificate and said that nothing in it DISQUALIFIES OBAMA FROM SERVING AS POTUS.

I believe them.

I think what Obama is hiding isn't something that disqualifies him from being POTUS, and that he is a USA citizen.

I believe he is hiding something politically EXPLOSIVE: the fact that his father is Frank Marshall Davis and that he has lived a mendacious charade his whole life and that he was raised and tutored and prepped for a career in politics by the most radical leftists and the most corrupt political machine in the country. They raised him and trained him and bankrolled him and they got him elected Senator and president and they run his White House via Rahm, the Daleys and Jarrett.

He's the Manchurian Candidate spawned by Frank Marshall Davis, trained by Alinsky and his acolytes, and bankrolled and controlled by the Chicago Machine. And Soros.

[BTW:

THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY TEDDY KENNEDY AND CAROLINE ENDORSED HIM SO EARLY ON:

THE KENNEDY CLAN HAS BEEN A PART OF THE CHICAGO MACHINE SINCE JOE SENIOR'S DAYS IN CHICAGO AS A BOOTLEGGER AND AS OWNER OF THE CHICAGO MART.

AND ANOTHER THING:

EVEN JOE BIDEN OWES HIS POLITICAL LIFE TO THE CHICAGO MACHINE.

OBAMA GOT IN WITH THIS CROWD VIA HIS REAL FATHER: FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS]

ALL THIS CAN BE DISPROVED BY TAKING A DNA TEST.

By comparing Obama Junior's DNA to that of Mark Davis (his half brother) and any Obama "half-brother" from Kenya we can prove who his father really was.

I doubt Barry Junior will agree.

He has too much to hide.

Barack Obama - "Tosser"

From Urban Dictionary:
1. tosser

Literally, one who masturbates. Common usage typically refers to anyone of whom you have a low opinion.
Example:

Obama's a f*ckin-useless tosser.

SERIOUSLY: Watch Obama disrespectfully toss his flower on the 9/11 memorial...



9/11/08: Series of Twenty Explosions Stops Train Service in Chunnel Between England and France


Fire started on lorry (1) just before 1500 BST on train from Folkestone to Calais. Lorry drivers heard series of explosions. They broke windows (2) to get out of amenity car. Altogether 32 people, including seven Britons, were evacuated into service tunnel (3).

Is it just me or does this look like terrorism?

From IBA:
Earlier on Friday truckers described their lucky escape from the blaze in which they had to smash windows to escape from the train after the doors jammed shut. "There was a burning lorry and a series of explosions -- about 20 of them," Patrick Lejein, 50, from Bruges in Belgium, told Le Parisien newspaper.

"Everything was exploding around us -- tyres, fuel tanks, and then there was this smoke which prevented us from seeing and breathing properly." Lejein added: "The door of our carriage was locked, impossible to open. We had to save ourselves by smashing a window with a hammer.

"We escaped from the train through this window. It was at that moment that we panicked the most. We imagined ourselves trapped there. We really were very lucky."
Parts of the story are, apparently, being "cleansed" from the CNN website. I can't even find them on Google. If it weren't for news aggregating sites, I wouldn't have them at all.

ISLAMO-TERROR STRIKES INDIA: SERIES OF DEADLY EXPLOSIONS IN NEW DELHI

AP/NYT:
A series of explosions across New Delhi killing at least eight people Saturday and injured 61, the mayor said. A Muslim militant group claimed responsibility.

CNN-IBN, a local television news channel, reported that it received an e-mail sent just before the blasts that read: "In the name of Allah, Indian Mujahedeen strikes back once more. ... Do whatever you can. Stop us if you can."

New Delhi Mayor Arti Mehra said as many as seven blasts across the city killed eight people and injured 61.

THERE'S MORE, RTWT.

  • THIS HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF AL QAEDA: COORDINATED/SYNCHRONIZED BOMBS MEANT TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE - NOT JEWS, NOT US SOLDIERS, NOT CHRISTIANS.
  • THOSE WHO DENY GLOBAL JIHAD ARE EITHER SYMPS OR DUPES.

40 MORE "MILITANTS" KILLED IN FATA - BY PAKISTANI ARMY

BLOOMBERG: Pakistani Security Forces Kill 40 Militants in Bajaur Operation
Pakistani security forces killed 40 militants yesterday in clashes in the Bajaur tribal region along the border with Afghanistan, a military spokesman said.

Two soldiers were killed and 12 others wounded in the operation that started early this week, Major Murad Khan said by telephone from Rawalpindi. Two military vehicles were also damaged, he added.

The effort to flush out militants is continuing, Murad said, after 25 mostly non-Pakistani combatants were killed and two arrests made earlier in the week. Pakistan's air force also inflicted ``heavy casualties'' in attacks Wednesday and Thursday on hideouts used by militants led by Qari Saeedur Rahman, an Afghan national who operates against Pakistani forces in the Bajaur Area, Murad said.
WE ARE SMASHING AL QAEDA IN THE FATA. AND WE ARE GETTING SOME HELP. THOUGH I IMAGINE NOT AS MUCH AS WE'D LIKE, AND MORE THAN MANY PAKISTANIS ARE HAPPY WITH.

If "death to infidels" and "death to America" are OK, why not "death to Muslims"?



We read:
"A video game made by an Australian man that encourages players to massacre Muslim people has caused international outrage. "Muslim Massacre" is promoted as taking place after the US "declares war" on the religion of Islam and encourages players to wipe out followers. "The United States of America has declared war on Islam!" the Muslim Massacre website says. "Take control of the American hero and wipe out the Muslim race with an arsenal of the world's most destructive weapons."

The targets appear as bearded men wearing normal clothes or characters in black outfits with facemasks. Later levels include suicide bombers and a "boss" opponent resembling Osama Bin Laden.

Mr Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the UK Muslim youth organisation the Ramadhan Foundation, said the game was unacceptable, tasteless and deeply offensive.

Stupid Democrats fail to see that two can play the protectionism game

You want to shaft foreign countries? They will usually shaft you back -- making everyone losers

Senators Robert Byrd and Sherrod Brown, please take a bow. The West Virginia and Ohio Democrats have succeeded in getting Japan to slap another year of punitive duties on some U.S. products because of their attempts to rig trade rules for their business buddies.

Specifically, Japan's cabinet decided late last month to slap a 10% tariff on ball bearings and tapered roller bearings that could knock U.S. producers out of competition in Japan. The decision cited what Japan's Ministry of Finance accurately calls "illegal disbursement under the 'Byrd Amendment.'" That follows a European Union decision in May to extend punitive duties on a range of other American products. The tariffs hit just as U.S. exports have become the main source of American growth amid the housing slump and credit crunch.

Europe and Japan are hurting their own consumers here, but they are in the legal right. The Byrd Amendment is a toxic 2000 law that distributed tariff money not to the U.S. government but directly to U.S. companies that complained about "unfair" foreign competition. The World Trade Organization ruled in 2002 that the Byrd Amendment violated global trade rules, and Congress finally repealed it in early 2006. But the disbursements continue to complaining U.S. companies for as many years as it takes to collect duty due for alleged dumping of foreign products before October 1 of 2007; last year alone the payout was more than $264 million.

Worse, as we recently reported, Senators Byrd and Brown are trying to resurrect the law, probably by attaching it to a "must-pass" piece of legislation in some Senate backroom. That's how it passed the first time. We're glad to say our editorial at least smoked out the Senators, who recently defended their protectionism in a letter to the editor. We trust the pair will also stand up and take credit for the new tariffs against U.S. exporters. Perhaps the Senators will tell workers who lose their jobs as a result that they need to take one for the Byrd-Brown team.

SARAH PALIN, CHARLIE GIBSON AND THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

  • THIS IS A REPRISE POST.
  • BECAUSE THE LEFT/MSM/DEMS ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE PALIN IS A LIAR WHEN IT COMES TO THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
  • SHE'S IS NOT A LIAR.
  • THEY ARE LIARS.
  • HERE'S PROOF:
OBAMA: THE NOMINEE TO NOWHERE
  • OBAMA ATTACKED PALIN AS A PORK-USER EVEN THOUGH HE AND BIDEN VOTED FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE AND PALIN KILLED IT.
  • THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF THE BRIDGE WAS DEAD BEFORE PALIN CAME OUT AGAINST IT - AND CANCELED IT!
  • NOT TRUE.
HERE'S HOW THE NYTIMES/AP REPORTED IT AT THE TIME (VIA GLENN):

September 22, 2007
Alaska: End Sought For 'bridge To Nowhere'

Gov. Sarah Palin ordered state transportation officials to abandon the ''bridge to nowhere'' project that became a nationwide symbol of federal pork-barrel spending. The $398 million bridge would have connected Ketchikan, on one island in southeastern Alaska, to its airport on another nearby island. ''Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport,'' Ms. Palin, a Republican, said in a news release, ''but the $398 million bridge is not the answer.'' She directed the State Transportation Department to find the most ''fiscally responsible'' alternative for access to the airport. Ketchikan is Alaska's entry port for northbound cruise ships that bring more than one million visitors yearly. Flights into Gravina Island require a 15-minute ferry ride to reach the more densely populated Revillagigedo Island and Ketchikan.

EITHER OBAMA IS A DELUDED IDIOT OR A BALD-FACED LIAR.

UPDATE:
  • AND OBAMA AND THE MSM ARE DELIBERATELY CONFLATING ALASKA'S REQUESTS FOR FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND TED STEVENS'S EARMARKS WITH PALIN - JUST TO SEMAR HER.
  • DON'T FALL FOR THIS PLOY. ONLY SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN CAN PUT IN EARMARKS; GOVERNORS CANNOT.
REMEMBER: BIDEN AND OBAMA VOTED FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

  • ATTENTION ALL DEMOCRATS: DON'T BE A DUPED.
  • CLINTON-GORE 1996 CALLED THEMSELVES "A BRIDGE TO THE 21ST CENTURY."
  • WELL, THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS ITSELF FAST BECOMING A BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.

OBAMA ATTACKS MCCAIN FOR NOT USING A COMPUTER OR EMAIL - ONLY MCCAIN'S WAR INJURIES PREVENT THIS

THIS IS WHY JONAH MAKES THE BIG BUCKS:
The day after 9/11, as part of its "get tough" makeover, the Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer, without caring why he doesn't use a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad:
"It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary."

The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care.

The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard,

WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT OBAMA'S LEADERSHIP AND HIS MORALITY THAT HE WOULD MAKE THIS ILL-THOUGHT OUT AND MEAN-SPIRITED ATTACK AGAINST MCCAIN?
  • IT SAYS HE IS STRATEGICALLY, TACTICALLY, POLITICALLY AND MORALLY UNFIT TO LEAD.
  • AND HE HAS HORRIBLE JUDGMENT.
  • OBAMA SHOULD APOLOGIZE.
  • AND OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS SHOULD JUMP SHIP.
AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

REPEAT:
McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard,
MCCAIN IS TWICE THE MAN OBAMA IS - EVEN IF HE CAN'T USE A COMPUTER OR SEND EMAIL.

MCCAIN HAS MORE WOMEN STAFFERS AND THEY'RE BETTER PAID THAN OBAMA'S

MURDOCK - VIA TAPPER - VIA HOT AIR HEADLINES:
[MURDOCK:]

... women in McCain's office are paid more than the men in McCain's office -- $1.04 for every dollar a man makes.

Men in Obama's office make more than women do; female employees make 83 cents for every dollar made by male employees.


... Only one of Obama's five best-paid Senate staffers is a woman.

Of McCain's five best-paid Senate staffers, three are women.

Of Obama's top 20 salaried Senate staffers, seven are women.

Of McCain's top 20 salaried Senate staffers, 13 are women.

  • NO WONDER OBAMA COULDN'T BRING HIMSELF TO PICK HILLARY: OBAMA HATES WOMEN.
  • WHY DOES OBAMA HATE WOMEN?
  • A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR A MISOGYNIST.

IF YOU LIKE WOMEN,

THEN VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

FDR, TRUMAN, IKE, JFK... REAGAN AND PALIN: IN GOD WE TRUST!

VIA HOT AIR:




PERHAPS OBAMA AND BIDEN AND THE LEFT DISAGREE WITH PALIN AND JFK AND FDR AND REAGAN AND IKE AND TRUMAN!??

PERHAPS THIS IS WHY:
  • OBAMA - HAS SEEMED CONFUSED AS TO WHETHER HE'S A CHRISTIAN, OR A "BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGIST", OR A MUSLIM... MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO RUN AWAY FROM THE ISSUE AND KEEP GOD OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS?
  • BIDEN - AGREES WITH HIS CHURCH THAT LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, BUT FAVORS EMBRYONIC STEM CELL USE AND ABORTION... THOSE ARE CONFUSED AND CONTRADICTORY POSITIONS... MAYBE IT'S BIDEN WOULD LIKE TO RUN AWAY FROM THE ISSUE AND KEEP GOD OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS?
  • OR MAYBE IT'S JUST BECAUSE AS POSTMODERN LEFTISTS THEY FEEL THAT RELIGION IS HAS BEEN A FORCE FOR EVIL?
  • LET ME REMIND ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE LEFTIST ACADEMY TO HATE WESTERN RELIGION:
  • IN FACT, SOCIALISM KILLED MORE PEOPLE IN THE 20TH CENTURY THAN JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY DID IN THE PRECEDING 20 CENTURIES.
  • ONLY ISLAM COMES CLOSE. IN FACT, ISLAM'S DEATH-TOLL EXCEEDS THAT OF SOCIALISM.
PEOPLE OUGHT NOT TO BE SKEPTICAL OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE SEEKING HIGH OFFICE.

PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE VERY SKEPTICAL OF ANYONE AND EVERYONE ON THE LEFT SEEKING HIGH OFFICE.

TRUST IN GOD, AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

US DRONE ATTACKS IN PAKISTAN CONTINUE APACE

CNN:
A missile fired from a suspected U.S. pilotless drone killed at least 13 people and wounded five others Friday in a village in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border, according to Pakistani intelligence sources.

Small, quiet and deadly drones are operated remotely by pilots in the United States.

The missile strike happened in a region of Pakistan that is rife with Islamic extremism. Previous missile strikes there have targeted members of al Qaeda and suspected Taliban militants.

Two missiles hit the North Waziristan village of Tola Khel, near the main town of Miranshah, early Friday, according to Allah Zaman, a security official in Miranshah.

MERINEWS:
EIGHT PEOPLE were killed in a suspected United States (US) Drone aircraft attack in northern Pakistan on Friday, September 12. Apart from this, dozens of suspected ’jehadis’ were also killed in the Bajaur region today. The US Drone aircraft hurled two missiles on a former government school near Miran Shah on Friday morning, suspecting the militants could be hiding there. At least 10 others received severe injuries in this US-led attack.

Miran Shah is located in the tribal-laden North Waziristan province of Pakistan, which is famous as the hotbed of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants. This region is also governed by the tribal leaders, where the Pakistan government’s control is very feeble. The people killed in this attack were believed to be the members of Al Badar. It is a famous armed Afghan group, led by veteran Afghan leader, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who fought against the Soviet troops in the 1980s and against the Taliban in the 1990s. In 2001, he allied with the deposed group after the US-led invasion in Afghanistan, thereby, demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan.
SCOTSMAN:
THE CIA is intensifying the use of unmanned Predator drone aircraft over Pakistan's border area with Afghanistan.

The number of Predator strikes in the area this year already stands at 11, against three in 2007.

Since January, Predator drones – which can remain aloft for far longer periods than conventional aircraft – using Hellfire missiles have killed two senior al-Qaeda leaders with £2.5 million bounties on their heads.

The CIA for the most part has co-ordinated with Pakistan's government before and after it launches missiles from the drone aircraft.

One of the top American priorities remains the killing or capture of Osama bin Laden, who is believed to still be hiding in Pakistan's mountainous FATA, or Federally Administered Tribal Area.
DAILY TIMES:
Missile attacks by US drones in Pakistan have tripled in 2008 after ‘frustrated’ US and Pakistani officials decided to change tactics in the war on terror, a Washington Post report said. Pakistani officials have reported 11 such strikes in FATA this year, the report said, compared with three in 2007. US officials believe their hunt for top Al Qaeda leadership has been marred by disruptions posed by the Iraq war and by their inability to develop informants, and are focusing on airstrikes because their special forces are not allowed to operate inside Pakistan. daily times monitor

MORE AMERICANS FEEL PALIN IS EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO BE POTUS THAN OBAMA

AP/BREITBART VIA LOWRY/NRO:
Eighty percent say McCain, with nearly three decades in Congress, has the right experience to be president. Just 46 percent say Obama, now in his fourth year in the Senate, is experienced enough. Another 47 percent say Obama lacks the proper experience—an even worse reading than the 36 percent who had the same criticism about Palin, now in her second year as governor after serving as a small-town mayor in her state.
IOW: 35%MORE PEOPLE THINK OBAMA IS UNQUALIFIED THAN THINK THIS OF PALIN.

THE UNEXPECTED CRISES: WHAT WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT'S WORST NIGHTMARE?

Bush wanted to be the education president.

Then came 9/11.

This is the way of the world: the biggest crises are almost always the ones you don't expect.

So... you have to forget about what the candidates SAY they'll do, and look inside them and see if that have what it takes to be LEADERS IN A CRISIS.

I think the two biggest potential crises in the next 4 years might very well center around Putin and a global Bird Flu pandemic. (Bird flu claimed another person in Indonesia this week - one with NO KNOWN CONTACT WITH BIRDS.)

And I want a team in the White House that can confront both - or any other unexpected crisis - with confidence and courage and integrity.

Based on everything I know about him to date, Obama would either kowtow to Putin or follow Europe's lead. Either would be disastrous.

And Obama has zero managerial or "commanderial" expertise. His collapsing campaign proves he ain't up to a big management crisis. And a global Bird Flu pandemic would be a huge crisis.

So, whether you think energy and Iran are going to remain the big problems the next four years - or Putin and a Bird Flu pandemic, you got to pause and think: WHO DO I WANT IN CHARGE DURING A CRISIS?

It's not just when the phone rings at 3AM - that's when you need someone tested, with courage; it's the weeks and months after the crisis begins; that's when you need real, commanding leadership in the White House.

Obama and Biden simply don't pass the test. Not by a million miles.

Obama has had zero management experience and zero success in either as a community organizer or in the State or US Senate.

And Biden? He voted against the 1991 Gulf War, proving that - despite his DECADES hanging put wioth the beltway gurus - he has ZERO foreign policy judgment. And of course as a Senator he has had ZERO crisis management experience.

McCain and Palin have both confronted crises with aplomb and come out winners.

They personify courage and integrity and patriotism.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

Autumn Angst: Dems fret about Obama



Excerpt:

Polls showing John McCain tied or even ahead of Barack Obama are stirring angst and second-guessing among some of the Democratic Party's most experienced operatives, who worry that Obama squandered opportunities over the summer and may still be underestimating his challenges this fall. "It's more than an increased anxiety," said Doug Schoen, who worked as one of Bill Clinton's lead pollsters during his 1996 reelection and has worked for both Democrats and independents in recent years. "It's a palpable frustration. Deep-seated unease in the sense that the message has gotten away from them."

Joe Trippi, a consultant behind Howard Dean's flash-in-the-pan presidential campaign in 2004 and John Edwards' race in 2008, said the Obama campaign was slow to recognize how the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate would change the dynamic of the race. "They were set up to run `experience versus change,' what they had run [against Hillary] Clinton," Trippi said. "And I think Palin clearly moved that to be change [and] reform, versus change. They are adjusting to that and that threw them off balance a little bit."

A major Democratic fundraiser described it a good bit more starkly after digesting the polls of recent days: "I'm so depressed. It's happening again. It's a nightmare."

Adding to Democratic restlessness, McCain has largely neutralized some issue advantages that have long favored Democrats. This week's USA Today/Gallup poll reported a split on which candidate "can better handle the economy"; 48 percent chose Obama while 45 percent said McCain. In late August, Obama had a 16-point edge on the issue. Also this week, an ABC News/Washington Post poll reported that when voters are asked "who can bring about needed change to Washington," McCain still trails Obama by 12 points. But in June, McCain trailed by 32 points.

That shift in the public's perception of the issues, in Democratic pollster Celinda Lake's words, "tremendously concerns me." Lake joined other Democratic veterans, some speaking not for attribution, in emphasizing a classic liberal woe: that the Democrat let the Republican define him. "Obama needed to define himself," Lake said. "I do think that during the Democratic convention we should have done a better job of defining McCain."

Steve Rosenthal, a veteran field organizer for Democrats and organized labor, said that some entrenched Democratic vulnerabilities never receded this year. And in his view, Palin has reawakened those liberal weaknesses. "For some white, working-class voters who don't want to vote for Barack Obama but weren't sure about McCain, Palin gave them a good reason to take another look and consider supporting McCain," Rosenthal said. "On the one hand, it could be a temporary reshuffling of the deck," he added. "And on the other hand, it underscores the deep-seated problems we have in this race with race, class and culture.
