In this state we didn't like the 55 MPH speed limit. We have tumbleweeds going faster than that.

And speaking of Jesusland, another thing about Arkansas is that nobody exceeds the speed limit because the roads are too bumpy.


Name the State?

What is the problem in that?

Why the cryptics, there are numerous states that could fit this ludicrious game of fear of being found out you play Roadkill. blink.gif unsure.gif popcorn.gif

What's the problem with naming the state?

What purpose do you have in mind for this irrelevant information, other than to try to use it against me in some way?

One thing I can tell you about this state is that unlike Arkansas, our roads are not a revenue scam for crooked law enforcement.

Yeah, right. Rednecks.

One has to hope that the American public is smarter than that. But at the root of this whole issue is a grim fact: There is a strong insurgency of racists living right here in our country and they will play to the general populace's fears, do anything, to ensure Obama does not get elected. Why, you ask? because if he does, they rationalize, we will have to deal with...

Pelosi speak, within a hollow from her low ho.



Gasoline--are prices going to come down?

PELOSI: OMG, did you hear, well, I heard this morning in the news that it is coming down three cents!
Isn’t that about as much as McCain’s tax holiday proposal you said did it nothing?

PELOSI: Well, one of the things we were doing was to encourage the president into not keep filling the strategic petroleum reserve. But Bush insists on not doing that for more years.

Did you say Bush the next four years, Mrs. Speaker?

PELOSI: No, well no, no, I meant McCain of course.

But isn’t that much about nothing Madam Speaker, the reserve purchases are just 70,000 barrels a day, in comparison to US consumption of 20 million a day.
Isn’t that like what your party said about McCain gas tax proposal, it does nothing to solve the problem?

PELOSI: Well, Greta, you did go the University of Wisconsin didn’t you?

Yes, but..

PELOSI: That is a very fine university, you know.

Yes but..

PELOSI: Bush keeps insisting you know, not to stop it and well you know that is a big problem, look at Iraq hoe he messed that up, we could be saving all kinds of money to spend if it weren’t for Iraq you know.

Madam Speaker, did you say spend?

PELOSI: No, I said save.

So do you have a plan to take the pain at the pump away from the American Consumer?

PELOSI: I would certainly hope so, and we have to make every decision in favor of that?

But do you have any specific plans that will relieve consumers say in the next 6 months?

PELOSI: Well, not that yiu mention it, besides the stop buying 70,000 barrels a day for Petroleum Reserve, we also intend to bring up legislation called "Use it or Lose it." This would punish the oil companies by insisting they drill, now, on their 68 million acres of oil leases or loss the lease they paid for.

But isn’t that a breach of contract Madam Speaker, they did enter into a contract and paid the government hundreds of millions for those drilling rights, isn’t that so.

PELOSI: I suppose so, but this is a time of change, you know we need to do things differently here in Washington and we Demoracts are going to change, I mean going to bring about Change. Like I said, if they are not going drill they should give someone else a chance to drill, that is only fair you know?

But who is that someone else? Perhaps, the Chinese or other foreign Oil exploration groups maybe? I mean it is not like opening a Google or internet site is it, one needs many specialized expertise to successfully drill for oil don’t they?

PELOSI: Well, yes, but we can get small independents to do it.

Will they also have to pay the government a second time for the leases? What about those who paid the first time, will the government be giving them their money back?

PELSOI: Well, no, well maybe, I have to look into that.

But, Madam Speaker, some Oil companies who own those leases are saying they are drilling where it fesible now and looking to see when the rest of the lease areas, they say have both accessibility and regulatory obstacles, is cost effect to make futher expensive efforts, what do you say to them.

PELOSI: The oil companies have made huge and excessive profits recently, they have not excuses for not drilling.

So who drills for oil if not for them?

PELOSI, Grata, I told you, the independs.

Oil exploration is both highly risky and expensive especially on Government regulated land, how do suppose these small independents will get the money, and convince investor to risk losing it all?

PELOSI: our oil industry and Financial markets are the best in the world, they will get the money I am sure.

Looking at how we got to this pain at the pump crisis, do you assign ALL the blame to the Bush administration?

PELOSI: Yes, well, No, I don't assign blame to the Bush administration, I ACCUSE THEM GRATA!

But was it not Democrats who banned drilling, raised environmental standards to levels that make it far more expensive and tmore difficult to drill in the US. Was it not the Democrat controlled Congresses and Presidents, who place into law, moratoriums and or regulatory obstacles’ on using more coal, our most abundant energy source, and building new oil refineries and nuclear power plants?

PELOSI: Ten years ago the price was under $11 in 1998--under $11. Two weeks ago, the cost of oil went up in one day nearly $11. So the policy decisions made by this administration in terms of energy have contributed to this oil crisis by not accepting early on the need for us to of renewable and other alternatives.

Yes, but the Democrats…

PELOSI: Do you go back to Wisconsin much Grata..

Well yes, that is all the time we have today, thank you Madam. Speaker.

PELOSI you are welcome Grata.

Take the Change-not.org Challenge

Who before he ran for President had at best a 2% name recognition: Carter; Obama; both Carter & Obama

What essentially unknown became the advantaged bandwagon effect front running by winning less than 1

Basis:

Carter: In 1976, a man with 2% name recognition decided to run for President of the United States.

Carter became the front-runner early on by winning the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

He was such an unknown quantity that when he told his own mother he was running for President, she asked "of what?"

Jimmy Carter 28% of Iowa Vote 934 voters. ( 2,335 Caucus voters) Obama 38% of Iowa Voters 1,257 voters. (3,307 Caucus voters)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Pa...imaries%2C_1976

1972, Governor Carter quickly proposed state legislature to replace the death penalty with life in prison like previous nominee George McGovern

Carter filed a report on his 1969 UFO sighting with the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

What do \Carter & Kuchinich have in common, both againts war, both saw UFOs.

Map of states carter won:



He attacked Washington in his speeches

The media discovered and promoted Carter in a more of a anti-Nixon mood than a pro-carter mood.

Obama vs anti-Bush, Carter vs Anti Nixon.

The Carter Presidency and Beyond:

"What Carter had that his opponents did not was the acceptance and support of elite sectors of the mass communications media. It was their favorable coverage of Carter and his campaign that gave him an edge, propelling him rocket-like to the top of the opinion polls. This helped Carter win key primary election victories, enabling him to rise from an obscure public figure to President-elect in the short space of 9 months."

As January 26, 1976, Carter was the first choice of only 4% of Democratic voters, according to a Gallup Poll. Same for Obama.
Energy issues:

Obama High prices and Democrat party obstructions to Drilling, Nuclear plants, Oil refineries and Coal subsitution.

recommendation to conserve energy, Obama the same.


requested that Christmas decorations remain dark in 1979 and 1980.

Nationwide controls were put on thermostats in government and commercial buildings to prevent people from raising temperatures in the winter (above 65 degrees Fahrenheit) or lowering them in the summer (below 78 degrees Fahrenheit). Carter also donned a cardigan sweater to emphasize the point.

economy suffered double-digit inflation, coupled with very high interest rates, oil shortages, high unemployment and slow economic growth.

declined to an average annual rate of 1 percent, compared to 3.2 percent of the 1960s.

discount rate from 10%

August 1979 to 12% within two months.[37] The prime rate hit 21.5% in December 1980, the highest rate in U.S. history under any President.
Investments in fixed income (both bonds and pensions being paid to retired people) were becoming less valuable. The high interest rates would lead to a sharp recession in the early 1980

Carter gave a nationally-televised address in which he identified what he believed to be a "crisis of confidence" among the American people. This came to be known as his "malaise" speech, although the word never appeared in it:

I want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy.... I do not refer to the outward strength of America, a nation that is at peace tonight everywhere in the world, with unmatched economic power and military might. ...

The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation.
...

I'm asking you for your good and for your nation's security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel.

Despite calling for a reform of the tax system in his presidential campaign, once in office he did very little to change it.

Issuing an Executive Order declaring unconditional amnesty for Vietnam War-era draft evaders.

Jimmy Carter issued a "hit list" of 19 projects that he claimed were "pork barrel" spending. Democrats turned on him.. Carter referred to the congressional tax committees as "ravenous wolves."

The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was passed. That worked out well, bankrptcies and high prices preceeded.

Successful in deregulating the trucking, rail, communications, oil and finance industries. Standards have diminished and accident rates have skyrocketed ever since.

Jimmy Carter was one of the first presidents to address the topic of LGBT rights. He opposed a California ballot measure that would have banned gays and supporters of gay rights from being public school teachers. His administration was the first to meet with a group of gay rights activists, and in recent years he has come out in favor of civil unions and ending the ban on gays in the military.

cut the defense budget by $6 billion

opposed the B2 bomber which went on to become one of Americas most effect and deadly combat aircraft.

Isolationism rebuked: Carter planned to remove all but 14,000 U.S. air force personnel and logistics specialists by 1982, but after cutting only 3,600 troops, he was forced to abandon the effort in 1978.

Carter's most important accomplishments as President were the Camp David Accords, finalized on September 17, 1978. The US has been paying nearly 3 billion dollars a year to Egypt, Jordon and Israel since 1978 $90 billion, for their peace not ours? Which got the president Sadat of Egypt assassinated.

Enemies:

departed from the long-held policy of containment toward the Soviet Union, replacing containment as policy with a vague braodly generalized human rights policy.

Instead of just stopoing US add to the U.S.-backed Somoza regime in Nicaragua cartered viewed as authoritarian and brutal, he in his wisdom instead gave that aid to what in his judgement was a more moderate wind of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) is a Marxist Nicaraguan political party. This caused the leftist to split from SNLF. The marxist evenually won and went on to form the In 1980 Cuban-Nicaraguan aid relations became formalized with the formation of the Mixed Commission for Scientific, Economic and Technical Cooperation.

Later the KGB handpicked several dozen Sandinistas for intelligence and sabotage operations who were sent to northern Mexico near the U.S. border to conduct surveillance for possible sabotage.

Carter continued his predecessors' policies of imposing sanctions on Rhodesia, and, after Bishop Abel Muzorewa was elected Prime Minister, protested the exclusion of Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo from participating in the elections.

Now Mugabe turned out hey?

Likewise, Carter supported Zaire before the Cubans came.. That worked well.

Building on Nixon opening the door to China, Carter Granted full full diplomatic and trade relations to China. BUT bitched slapped long time ally Taiwan by NOT granting the same to them. Though don’t look trade and militart support for Taiwan continued unabated under the table of consciousness.

Final negotiation and signature of the Panama Canal Treaties in September 1977 giving the canal to a military dictator like in every way those he opposed in Nicaragua. That worked out well too! In a few years the Nicaragua Military dictator was deposed by narco-terroristback Military Dictator who had bridged the gap to narco-trafficker and thump your chest Anti-Us brow beater making the Narc-Dictatorship of Panama recipients of Carter BIG DIG of HOPE and lack of Judgment DOPE… We then had to go to war to clean to up Carter farsightedness in just a few years with Carter’ rewards that military chest thumper like Hugo Chavez. The dictator has been US prisons soon to be French prisons ever since.

Carter the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan late in 1979. Circa the start of a new Islamic Jihad movement which at the core of todays Islamic terrorism in ideals, experience and man power.

National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski revealed the Carter Administration's involvement in starting the war in a 1998 interview with Le Nouvel Observateur. Brzezinski told Le Nouvel Observateur that the Soviet invasion gave America "the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War."

(SAME DINASOUR GUY THAT OBAMA IS LISTENING TO TODAY.)

$40 billion covert program of training insurgents in Pakistan and Afghanistan to subsidize the anti-communist Mujahideen

2nd Carter enabling of Islamic Jihad terror as we know it today was the Iranian Hostage crisis. In response to Carters’s misjudgment in letting the Iran’s Shah's entry into the U.S., the Theocratic Islamist who deposed in proxy deniability had so called Iranian militants seized, many in curent leadership today in Iran, break international law by taking over the American embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.[34] The Iranians demanded:

1. the return of the Shah to Iran for trial,

2. the return of the Shah's wealth to the Iranian people,

3. an admission of guilt by the United States for its past actions in Iran, plus an apology, and

4. a promise from the United States not to interfere in Iran's affairs in the future.

In the more than one year of daily humiliation showing Carter’s impotence, in the face of what was clearly an act of war, Carter did nothing. Other than come up with a desperate Entebbe like plan rescue the 82 hostage, based on what is now know as weak intelligence, likely ensuring what latter human error caused, the plans failure, which cost 8 men their lives. In the end, Carter Bribed the Iranian by signing Executive Orders 12277 through 12285 were issued by Carter releasing all assets belonging to the Iranian government and all assets belonging to the Shah found within the United States and the guarantee that the hostages would have no legal claim against the Iranian government that would be heard in U.S. courts. Iran, however, also agreed to place $1 billion of the frozen assets in an escrow account and both Iran and the United States agreed to the creation of a tribunal to adjudicate claims by U.S. Nationals against Iran for compensation for property lost by them or contracts breached by Iran.

Obama Vs. Carter Vs. Mondale

June 10, 2008 10:44 AM ET | James Pethokoukis | Permanent Link

"Senator Obama says that I'm running for Bush's third term. It seems to me, he's running for Jimmy Carter's second," was John McCain's reaction to Barack Obama's big economic speech yesterday. A mildly amusing line—and one I have decided to explore. I have dug up economic-themed excerpts from three speeches, in no particular order: Obama's speech, Carter's 1980 acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, and Walter Mondale's acceptance speech at the 1984 DNC. They are all amazingly similar. See if you can figure out which is which. I'll give the answer at the end of the blog post.

Now I have tweaked them a bit to alter any giveaway references. For example, every "Reagan" has been changed to "Bush" or "McCain." And I have chosen to exclude Carter's famous line, "Sorry, Governor Reagan. You are no Mr. Roarke, and America is no Fantasy Island!" (That's a joke, BTW.)

McCain: Obama=Carter second term

by Mosheh Oinounou

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an interview with Carl Cameron today, Sen. McCain introduced some new pushback to Sen. Obama’s assertion that the GOPer represents a Bush third term. The presumptive Republican nominee instead argues that the Illinois Democrat is promoting policies that would mean a second
term for President Carter.

“You know one of his favorite phrases is that I would be a Bush third term. Well I think maybe his proposals could be a Carter second term,” McCain told Fox.

Cut from the same cloth: Jimmy Carter in the '76 campaign, Barack Obama in this one

http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-73...h.html#abstract



During Jimmy Carters Presidency, we had 12 to 14% unemployment, High home loan rates where 30 year fixed loans 9% to 10%, High Inflation at around 7%, Federal Treasury notes were paying 11 to 13%, Housing prices near record declines. Federal overall taxes were nearly 25% higher. Economic growth was negative for many quarters. Gas price were, in the peoples psyche, astronomical. All that followed by a “banking crises that closed hundreds of Banks and Savings and Loans, leaving the number of Foreclosed houses and Commercial Building standing like Mt Everest in comparison to today’s much over hyped Housing Crisis that is within historical Normal levels of 3% default rates.

Marxist leaning? There is no leaning, they are Marxists. Anyone calling for Nationalizing a industry is in my book a Marxist.

June 21, 2008

High Gas Prices and the Marxist tactic of Crisis revolution

According to Marx, the final stage of this evolution toward utopia would result when workers rose up in revolution to overthrow the business owners who were exploiting them through a capitalistic economy.

For the Democrats, every crisis is but a segue toward the passage of more and more legislation, furthering the revolution while enslaving the very people they claim to be liberating.

The current revolutionary cry is to tax the "greedy," American-owned oil companies for their "wind-fall" profits. In much the same way that Clinton spoke of gun companies in the 1990s, today's Democrats demean oil companies with their "shame on you for what you're doing to the American people" approach, while simultaneously refusing to allow domestic drilling, to increase offshore drilling, or to drill in ANWR, thus as in core of crisis revolution philosophy, the new Putsch Doomocats cored in the Obama nation, is more than willing to allow a certain degree of suffering on the part of the people in order to insure their agenda is furthered, by using scare tactics, and raw force when necessary, to silence their detractors.

Therefore, whether one considers Lenin, Clinton, or today's Obama-led Democrat party, the bottom line is in the end, the people will suffer at the hands of an office holder who uses "crisis revolution" tactics to further their Leftist, legislative agenda. This means we will continue paying excruciatingly high prices in order to give Democrats the opportunity to pull a bait and switch, whereby they can continue to lessen our oil supply by standing in the way of domestic drilling while simultaneously mounting a campaign against the "shameful profits" of American oil companies. Like good Marxists, they do this in order to distract us from the fact that all the class envy and bitterness that undergirds their policies is robbing us of a burgeoning, profitable capitalist society rather than bringing us into a promised utopia.

Chicago politics, the heart, and soul of the Obama Nation.

Just within the last 35 years, Illinois has had two Democratic former governors sent to jail and a former Republican governor charged with federal tax evasion, but later acquitted. That’s three of the last seven governors sent to jail; four charged with a crime. Not a resounding vote of confidence for the voters of Illinois.

The jokes about the Chicago Machine and the dead registering to vote in Chicago used to be an amusing part of the state’s history. Now, the reality of political corruption is becoming almost too much to bear in its long and often reality of Chicago and Illinois politics “to the victor go the spoils.”

In addition the William Ayers anti-government terrorist many talk about there others connected to Obama nationalists Chicago and Illinois Political machinery.
A high-ranking official in Gov. Blagojevich's office spent nearly two years in a federal prison for refusing to aid a government terrorism probe into a series of bombings in Chicago and New York City.

Steven Guerra, Blagojevich's $120,000-a-year deputy chief of staff for community services, was identified by federal prosecutors as a member of the Puerto Rican separatist group, FALN, which was behind a wave of violence and killings in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Before al-Qaida and Timothy McVeigh, the nation's most feared terrorism group was FALN, an organization that sought Puerto Rican independence through a wave of terror more than a quarter century ago.

More than 130 bombings in New York, Illinois and Puerto Rico were attributed to the group, including at least 28 here. Five people were killed, and 84 were injured, including four police officers.

Between 1975 and 1979, FALN took credit for or was suspected in bomb attacks at the Merchandise Mart, the Chicago Police Department headquarters,
Woodfield Shopping Center and a former Marshall Field's department store, among others.

In March 1980, gun-toting sympathizers stormed the Carter-Mondale presidential campaign office in Chicago and held campaign workers hostage.

Like Obama not fair market price housing buying with the convicted Chicago political fund raiser Resko, there is another eerily similar tell about Rep. Luis Gutierrez of heavly gerrymandered 4th Congressional District. Who, like Obama seem to get rather curious property purchasing breaks from Resko and friends.

For example Rep. Luis Gutierrez, like Obama, both had Resko as fund raiser in their up bring within the Imperial Daley Chicago political machine. They both got a deal on a riverfront town house built by Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a developer and prominent political fund-raiser now convicted for a kickback scheme involving state pension funds.

Gutierrez paid $434,900 three years ago for the town house along the Chicago River just north of Diversey. That's far less than his neighbors paid for any of the other riverfront town houses in the development, records show. Oddly similar to Obama new house deal with Resko where Obama says like Gutierrez, Rezko deal was a mistake.

Gutierrez no longer lives there. In March, he sold the town house for $610,000 -- a 40 percent profit.

Feds ratchet up pressure on Rezko Worker who put up homes for Rezko bail.

Only two other original owners have sold their riverfront town houses -- one paid $535,000 and sold it for $650,000, a 21 percent profit; the other paid $622,000 and sold it for $662,000, a 6 percent profit.

Like Obama, Gutierrez said he's been friends for 20 years with Rezko, whose family has donated more than $19,000 to the congressman's campaign funds over the years.

Again like Obama, the congressman said their friendship had nothing to do with him getting the cheapest price on any of the 17 riverfront town houses Rezko
built, with everyone else paying between $495,000 and $660,000, in some cases for smaller homes.


Chicago and Illinois last two Governors are either in jail or facing jail even now in the atypical Chicago and Illinois Resko bribery scam. Oddly the current Democratic Governor who is being investigated now in the Resko matters, was elected ON A CHANGE TICKET after the former Republican Governor Ryan was convicted.

The 16 counts included fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery. Rezko was acquitted of eight counts, including extortion.
Rezko surrendered to federal authorities as soon as the verdicts were read. He explained through his attorney that he wants to begin serving his sentence immediately.

The successful prosecution adds to the pressure on Blagojevich, who rode into office in 2002 with a promise to end corruption in Springfield, the state capital. His Republican predecessor, George Ryan, was convicted of corruption in the same Chicago courthouse in 2006.

"It's another chapter in the sad history of Illinois government," Jay E. Stewart, executive director of the Better Government Association, told reporters. "I don't think this is the 'No more business as usual' we were promised when Rod Blagojevich became governor back in 2002. He can't blame this on George Ryan."

So today, the Tribune presents a scorecard.
City Hall

- Federal prosecutors have charged 39 people--22 of them current or former city employees--in a scandal that began with corruption in the city's Hired Truck Program. It has widened to the system of hiring and promotion at City Hall, which prosecutors claim has been tainted by politics and cronyism. The city clerk, James Laski, has been charged. A federal judge has appointed a special monitor to oversee city hiring. Twenty-five of the 39 people indicted have pleaded guilty.

- Federal authorities in June broke up a Colombian-linked heroin trafficking ring allegedly run out of the city's Department of Water Management by a $30-an-hour hoisting engineer, George Prado. He is one of four city workers hit with drug charges. Two have pleaded guilty. A time sheet scandal at the water department led to the ouster of several workers, including the brother-in-law of Cook County Commissioner John Daley.

- James Duff, a janitorial contractor whose family socialized with Mayor Richard Daley and raised money for his campaign, pleaded guilty to setting up fronts to capture city contracts reserved for minority- and women-owned firms. Duff was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay $22 million in restitution and forfeitures. A city probe of the set-aside program uncovered other abuses and led to the expulsion of other contractors.

The environs of Springfield

- Seventy-nine people have been charged and 73 have been convicted in Operation Safe Road, a federal investigation focusing on alleged corruption during George Ryan's tenure as secretary of state. Ryan's former chief of staff, Scott Fawell, has been convicted and sentenced. Ryan is on trial, facing charges of mail fraud, tax fraud and lying to FBI agents. Safe Road began as an investigation into bribes paid for driver's licenses and expanded into allegations of favoritism in the awarding of state leases, contracts and low-digit license plates in exchange for free vacations and other valuable gifts.

- Federal and state investigators are looking into allegations of pay-to-play politics in the administration of Ryan's successor, Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Federal criminal grand jury subpoenas seeking hiring information involving several state agencies and the governor's office have been delivered to the administration. Federal agents have interviewed the governor concerning allegations that his administration traded state board and commission appointments for campaign cash.

- State or federal probes have also been launched into allegations of wrongdoing in the awarding of contracts for advertising at the state lottery, for power-washing state buildings and for a state cost-savings initiative.

- Federal prosecutors have charged wealthy political insider Stuart Levine and three others with shaking down hospitals and a medical school for kickbacks in exchange for help getting expansion projects approved. Prosecutors also charged Levine and two Chicago attorneys with extorting kickbacks from investment firms seeking pension fund business. In September, the attorneys pleaded guilty.

- A bid-rigging scandal at McCormick Place has led to guilty pleas on various charges by Scott Fawell, lobbyist Julie Starsiak and the firm for which she worked, Ronan Potts LLC. Fawell, appointed by George Ryan to head the agency that runs McCormick Place, fed inside information to Starsiak that helped a Ronan Potts client submit the low bid for a multimillion-dollar expansion project at the convention center.

- Michael Tristano, a top aide and political operative for state Rep. Lee Daniels, was indicted in May on federal corruption charges. Daniels left his post as Republican House leader in 2002 amid reports of a federal investigation into campaign practices. Tristano stands accused of misusing state resources to aid Republican candidates.

- Bamani Obadele, picked by Blagojevich for a top job with the state's child welfare agency, resigned in August after the agency inspector general accused him of diverting at least $62,000 in public funds to a private bank account he controlled. Federal investigators have subpoenaed the Department of Children and Family Services for all records involving Obadele, who was a campaign aide to Blagojevich in 2002.

- A Lee County grand jury in December indicted former state Prisoner Review Board member Victor Brooks on charges that he voted to free notorious mob hit man Harry Aleman in exchange for help getting Brooks' son a singing job in Las Vegas. Also indicted on misconduct and fraud charges was Ron Matrisciano, a high-ranking state prison official who testified before the board on Aleman's behalf. Aleman was not released.

- A member of the Illinois House, Patricia Bailey of Chicago, was convicted last year on felony perjury and forgery charges and sentenced to 2 years of probation. Bailey, who was stripped of her House seat, falsified election documents to make it appear she lived in the South Side district she represented.

Cook County

- Minority contractor Faust Villazan and his west suburban firm, Faustech Industries, were indicted in September on a bribery charge for allegedly passing $20,000 to a Cook County purchasing official to help win a $49 million radiology equipment contract for the new Stroger Hospital. A U.S. subsidiary of German electronics giant Siemens AG and two of its executives were indicted Friday on charges of entering into a sham partnership with Faustech. Grand jury subpoenas have been issued to the head of the county's contract compliance office and to Cook County Commissioners Roberto Maldonado and Joseph Mario Moreno, who have ties to Villazan.

Earl Bell, the former chief financial officer of the county's Provident Hospital, pleaded guilty in October to federal fraud charges. Bell used his position to help defraud finance companies out of more than $300,000. Bell falsely vouched for debts he said the hospital owed to businesses run by a friend, who then sold those debts to finance companies. The friend and her former husband also pleaded guilty to fraud. Bell had been an active member of County Board President John Stroger's 8th Ward organization.

- Shirley Glover, the former fiscal manager of a county employment training program, was charged in December with embezzling $180,000 in federal funds intended to aid poor residents of the south suburbs. Cook County prosecutors allege that she pocketed half the money and used the rest to wine and dine co-workers.

Here and there

- Developer Clifford Josefik was charged in July with bribing a Berwyn alderman who was working undercover for federal investigators, as well as a former Berwyn mayoral aide who is also facing corruption charges.

- Federal agents seized building permit records, copied computer hard drives and questioned employees about favoritism in the awarding of permits at Will County's Land Use Department.

- In June, a federal jury convicted the Democratic Party chairman in East St. Louis, a city official and three Democratic precinct workers on vote-buying charges stemming from the November 2004 election. Four other Democratic precinct workers earlier pleaded guilty to vote-buying charges.

- Peoria County prosecutors say a grand jury has opened an investigation into possible bidding irregularities at the Peoria Board of Election Commissioners involving the purchase of voting equipment to meet new federal guidelines. The investigation centers on Commissioner Eugene Wittry, who recently left the board. The commission had been poised to buy $1 million in equipment from a start-up company in which Wittry owned stock. Another firm has been awarded the contract.

- - -

It is long and unpleasant reading.

Granted, it is not a shock to anyone familiar with the history of Chicago and Illinois, familiar with Big Bill Thompson, with Al Capone, with Paul Powell's shoebox, with "Hinky Dink" Kenna and "Bathhouse" John Coughlin and the 1st Ward Ball. We are not in prissy Minnesota, not summering at Sunnybrook Farm.

That which is alleged, of course, remains to be proven in court. But Illinois produces enough guilty pleas for these kinds of crimes to establish that this state's problem is close to unique. What none of us should forget is who gets victimized by rampant public corruption: the public.

CHICAGO – A once mundane, now quickly growing, investigation into Chicago City Hall hiring and contracting practices has become a relentless drumbeat of indictments, convictions, and front-page headlines that threatens to topple one of America's most monarchical mayors

Even amid Chicago's storied reputation for corruption, this has been an unusually significant and far-reaching investigation involving 30 indictments and 23 convictions. Those charged have included a top official at the mayor's office of intergovernmental affairs and the former deputy water commissioner, who pleaded guilty to taking bribes, shaking down companies for political contributions, and rigging hiring. With a number of cooperating witnesses, including the water czar, the investigation is far from over.

What's remarkable is that for the first time, Mayor Richard M. Daley seems politically vulnerable.

Capt. Wesley Clark, War Hero, extraordinary,

Jan 15th to Feb 19th 1970, II Corp, Republic of Vietnam


Elitist General Clark attacks McCain’s Combat record and McCain’s combat experience.

However why, is Clarks real combat experience something to crow about?


Well the paper trail, like Kerry’s, is of a true Hero.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Silver_Star_Citation.gif

But, what does it take to be an inside the good old boy, Officer Corp, Hero. is the Kerry Question "I AM A General," Clark?

Capt. Clark, who was a staff officer, in the rear with gear, from May 1969 to January 15 1970, working for six months in a concrete-reinforced bunker as an assistant operations officer for the Army's First Infantry Division. When, after the Division got its redeployment orders, he was somehow assigned to be Company Commander for A Company, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry, of the 1st Infantry Division. Exactly four months before his entire 1st Division was to be pulled out Vietnam, as American combat involvement was coming to an end and at the height of the Vietnamization of the war.

This was a time when those who were there know, was a time when the career Officer Corp, with no command or combat experience, began scrambling to get their career jumping, medal lusting, Combat Commands, before it was all over, as was an ambitious Clark, unquestionably, at the time.

It has been told by numerous who served with him, that on his very first Patrol, February 19, 1970, Clark lead his men, mostly draftees and mechanized, not ground pounding infantry, troops, into an ambush by the near extinct VC, a force that all but been destroyed for over two years before. Though accounts are scares, and few live independent accounts exists, beyond Clark’s on written accounts. The core of the what happened, was Clark lead his mean down, what is called a “false trail,” where Charlie would make it look like it was a well traveled trail, even including adding fake bamboo bridges, across streams, to draw patrols either away from areas, and or into pre-setup kill zones. Like the one Clark lead his men into, for which, like Kerry, his fellow brass, gave him a Silver Star for gallantry, rather than admit his carelessness. It was at a “kill zone dead end,” while standing on a false bridge across a creek, that Clark got his men ambushed and himself shot.

The Viet Cong ambush that nearly took his life that day would be the only significant combat Clark would experience over the course of an Army career spanning 34 years.

McClintic, who, saved Clark life, , after being shot, as Clark stood there frozen like a deer in the head lights, was also hit by enemy fire during the ambush, received a Bronze Star with valor for heroic achievement in action. Clark was awarded the “more prestigious” Silver Star, reserved for "gallantry in action of marked distinction." While Martin originally wrote up Clark for a Bronze star with valor, a now deceased superior asked him to elevate the medal, and Martin said he agreed. Officers were often given higher medals than enlisted men in Vietnam, and a Silver Star added weight to Clark's military resume. The decision "suits me fine," said Martin, especially because Clark was "leading his people" and on foot patrol and retained control of the company 1

McClintic, when located in Michigan during Clarks run for the Democratic Nomination, said; “He is either the most brilliant man they have ever known, or the most arrogant, or both. But I endorse him, as opposed to Kerry, for what that is worth.”

Though no one has come out in public non-internet way, it has been rumored for some time that Clark was actually shot by his own men who were rebelling against his unwise orders, which got him ambushed. Reports say there were only 3 VC, all escaped and the big fight involved Clark being shot 3 times, some now are saying, by his own men, not as Clark recounts it so heroically in the unknowing voice recount of a cherry Platoon leader who clearly got his patrol shot to hell because what, INEXPERINCE.

Now to McCain in Vietnam, On July 29, 1967, aboard the USS Forrestal, McCain was nearly killed when a flight crew error on another aircraft caused a missile to fire on a deck loaded with numerous full loaded aircraft-awaiting launch for planned Combat missions. The resulting explosions wounded McCain twice, and killed 134 of fellow his fellow crewmembers. Despite the July incident, McCain is credited with flying twenty-three combat bombing mission over North Vietnam, which was at the time one of the most ever heavily defended areas, using the Soviet’s best Anti-Aircraft systems. McCain was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. Some say this was nothing, but have never tried it to be sure.

So you be judge, a guy who had less than two weeks combat experience who gest his patrol ambushed and himself shot up to get a medal for gallantry in comparisons to a guy who flew 33 combat missions of extremely high risk over North Vietnam. A man who was injured in combat, and in preparing for Combat, who was tortured as a POW, by a brutal enemy, those who have faced them know to well, how brutal, and those who have not, pretend they know what they could never know.

This was a time, those who were there know, when the career Officer Corp, with no command or combat experience, began scrambling to get their career jumping, medal lusting, Combat Commands, before it was all over, as was the overly ambitious Clark, at the time.

As has been told by numerous men who served with him, Clark on his "very first Patrol," on February 19, 1970, Clark lead his men, mostly draftees and mechanized, not ground pounding infantry, into an ambush. Though accounts are scares with few live independent accounts existing, beyond Clark’s on written accounts of course. The core of the what happened, was Clark lead his men, down, what is called a “false trail,” where Charlie would make it look like it was a well traveled trail, even including fake bamboo bridges, across streams, to draw patrols either away from areas, and or into pre-setup kill zones.

It was at a “kill zone dead end,” while standing on a false bridge across a creek, that Clark got his men ambushed and himself shot.

The Viet Cong ambush that nearly took his life that day would be the only significant combat Clark would experience over the course of an Army career spanning 34 years.

A member of the patrol named McClintic, who saved Clark's life, as Clark stood there frozen like a deer in the head lights after being shot, was also hit by enemy fire during the ambush, MCClintic whose action saved Clark and the patrol in reality, received merely a Bronze Star with valor for heroic achievement in action. While Clark, the Officer Corp paper hero, was awarded the “more prestigious” Silver Star, reserved for "gallantry in action of marked distinction." I am sure every guyt who was ahot wishes he could get the silver star for just being shot while leading a patrol foolishly into an ambush just before most were to be coming home. Martin, Clark's commander, originally wrote up Clark for a Bronze star with valor, but,as usualu, a now deceased superior, asked him to elevate the medal, and Martin said he agreed, as 99% of all officer do, "when told" to do something by a superior.

Officers were often given higher medals than enlisted men in Vietnam, and a Silver Star added weight to Clark's military resume. The decision "suits me fine," said Martin, especially because Clark was "leading his people" and on foot patrol and retained control of the company.

McClintic, when located in Michigan during Clarks run for the Democratic Nomination, said; “He is either the most brilliant man they have ever known, or the most arrogant, or both. But I endorse him, as opposed to Kerry, for what that is worth.”

Though no one has come out in public in a non-internet way, it has been rumored for some time, that Clark was actually shot by his own men who were rebelling against his unwise orders, which got him ambushed.

Likewise, as to the combat action, reports say there were only 3 VC involved, all escaped, and the so called "big fight" involved Clark being shot 3 times, some now are saying, by his own men. Clark's recount of it all seems so heroic, in its inexperience of not knowing his recount is of a cherry Platoon leader who clearly got his patrol shot to hell because what, INEXPERINCE.

Obama's Money Class; Elitist’s indoctrination’s, of false populism.

The core of Barack Obama’s financial support are not just small donors but the rising class of information age analysts.

Obama sells his fund-raising success as if his donors were a spontaneous movement of small-money enthusiasts. In fact, Obama’s fund-raising base is bigger than John Kerry’s, Howard Dean’s and Al Gore’s,

Lawyers account for the biggest chunk of Democratic donating about $18 million to Obama, compared with about $5 million to John McCain, securities and investment companies have given Obama about $8 million, compared with $4.5 million for McCain. Communications and electronics gave Obama about $10 million, compared with $2 million for McCain.

The Indoctrinate U elite at UC Berkley, Harvard and University of Chicago alone have given him roughly $7 million, compared with $700,000 for McCain.

Real estate professionals have given Obama $5 million, compared with $4 million for McCain. Medical professionals have given Obama $7 million, compared with $3 million for McCain. Commercial bankers have given Obama $1.6 million, compared with $1.2 million for McCain. Hedge fund and private equity managers have given Obama about $1.6 million, compared with $850,000 for McCain.

Employees of Goldman Sachs, one of those so called “intelligent elite” run groups who dreamed up the current Real Estate Mortgae Collaterization disaster, gave more to Obama than workers of any other employer. The Goldman Sachs geniuses are followed by employees of the University of California, UBS,
JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, National Amusements, Lehman Brothers, Harvard and Google. At many of these workplaces, Obama has a three- or four-to-one fund-raising advantage over McCain.

Obama is swept up in his own rhetorical fervor, when he says that his campaign is 90 percent funded by small donors. Indeed a success with small donors, but only about 45 percent of his money comes from donations of $200 or less.

The real core of his financial support is something else, the rising class of information age analysts. Once, the wealthy were solidly Republican. But the information age rewards education with money. There are many smart high achievers who grew up in liberal suburbs around San Francisco, L.A. and New York, went to left-leaning universities like Harvard and Berkeley and took their INDOCTRINATED values with them when they became investment bankers, doctors and litigators.

Political analysts now notice a gap between professionals and managers. Professionals, like lawyers and media types, tend to vote and give Democratic. Corporate managers tend to vote and give Republican. The former get their values from competitive universities and the media world; the latter get theirs from churches, management seminars and the country club.

The trends are pretty clear: rising economic sectors tend to favor Democrats while declining economic sectors are more likely to favor Republicans. The Democratic Party (not just Obama) has huge fund-raising advantages among people who work in electronics, communications, law and the catchall category of finance, insurance and real estate. Republicans have the advantage in agribusiness, oil and gas and transportation. Which set of sectors do you think are going to grow most quickly in this century’s service economy?

Amazingly, Democrats have cultivated this donor base while trending populist on trade by forsaking much of the Clinton Third Way approach and by vowing to raise taxes on capital gains and the wealthy. If Obama’s tax plans go through, those affluent donors could wind up giving over 50 percent of their income to the federal government.

They’ve managed to clear these policy hurdles partly by looking out for tort lawyers and other special groups. But mostly they have taken advantage of the rivalry between the two American elites.

Over the past several years, the highly educated coastal rich have been engaged in a little culture war with the inland corporate rich. This is a war over values, leadership styles and social networks.

Socially liberal knowledge workers naturally want to see people like themselves at the head of society, not people who used to run Halliburton and who are supported by a vast army of evangelicals.

If the Democrats are elected, this highly educated class will have much more say over policy than during the campaign. Undecided voters sway campaigns, but in government, elites generally run things. Once the Republicans are vanquished, I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for that capital gains tax hike or serious measures to expand unionization.

Over the past few years, people from Goldman Sachs have assumed control over large parts of the federal government. Over the next few they might just take over the whole darn thing.

Obama’s Boys of Summer

A Who’s Who of 1968 radicals supports the candidate


Michael Klonsky 40 summers ago, when the organization he led, Students for a Democratic Society, urged young people to spurn elections. “By ’68, our line was ‘Vote in the Streets,’” Klonsky told me last spring. “We thought we had to fight with Eugene McCarthy and those people.”

Kolinsky’s SDS bluntly proclaimed: “The elections don’t mean shiit-e.” in August 1968, protesters clashed with police outside the Democratic Party’s national convention in Chicago.

Far from being political innocence’s protesting “Vietnam War hawks’ many of them never supported antiwar candidates McCarthy and or Robert Kennedy. “Those of us who have been in the streets for the past five days didn’t give a flying *uck whether McCarthy would win or lose,” SDS declared in posters around Chicago, “and now that he’s lost, still don’t.” We wanted an end to that America we did not think deserved to be Americans.

That is why I started the Maoist Communist Party in the 1970s, Kolinsky’s said. Barack Obama isn’t Hubert Humphrey, 2008 isn’t 1968, and the strong movement he served back then is “relatively weak” now. “My own support for Obama is not a reflection of a radically changed attitude toward the Democratic Party,” Klonsky recently explained. “Rather, it’s a recognition that the Obama campaign has become a rallying point for young activists and offers hope for rebuilding the civil rights and antiwar coalitions that have potential to become a real radical force in our dreams for another American society.”

Other 1968 radicals of socialist change are as well supporters of Obama. In 1968, Mark Rudd organized a strike that shut down Columbia University, where he ridiculed Kennedy and McCarthy as “McKennedy,” similar to the calls for McBush today.

Like now, the false populist claim is “no one offers an alternative to the war policies and like then today he again suggested “sabotage” as an alternative to voting.

“Most of us have lived with compromise our whole lives. As kids we were raving idealists who thought that ‘The elections don’t mean shiit’ was a slogan that meant something to somebody. It didn’t.”

Then there’s Carl Davidson, His disillusionment with traditional politics became so pronounced that, in the post-sixties hangover that followed, Davidson joined Klonsky in rejecting traditional politics for fringe Marxist movements.
Davidson helped organize the 2002 rally in which Obama first spoke out against the Iraq War and now serves as the webmaster of Progressives for Obama.

The Comes Jane Fonda’ first radical butch, Former SDS president Tom Hayden who organized the made-for-TV protest outside the 1968 Chicago convention, he is also in the Obama camp. It was his orchestrated anarchy proved more damaging to the Democrats than anything else. Hayden encourage the SDS and weathermen to spread nails on highways, to fire bomb.

Now Hayden is one of the organizers of Progressives for Obama. “Today the Republican Party is directly carrying out the war, which obviously will make a lot of people favor changing the presidency despite the uncertainty of what the Democratic candidate will do when in office.”

Progressives for Obama resembles a Who’s Who of SDS luminaries. In addition to Hayden, Rudd, and Davidson, the group includes Bob Pardun, SDS’s education secretary during the 1966–67 school year; Paul Buhle, a radical professor who has recently attempted to revive SDS; Mickey and Dick Flacks, red-diaper babies who helped craft 1962’s Port Huron Statement, a seminal New Left document; and SDS’s third president, Todd Gitlin. Age and experience have mellowed some of the SDSers in Obama’s camp. Gitlin, for instance, has evolved into a respected Ivy League professor and milquetoast liberal. But others still glory in a past that can only damage Obama’s future. The aging New Left still practices a therapeutic politics that places a higher value on feelings of personal liberation than on restrained pursuit of political aims.

Obama has already taken political hits for his connection to Weathermen Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Will this cadre of Marxist be next to put another mark of associated shame around Obama ever evident chameleon nature.

In the sixties, Ayers advocated that young people kill their parents, and Dohrn praised the Charles Manson murders. Weather Underground cohorts, including pair inside the Chicago political establishment declared war on the United States and participated in a bombing campaign that hit the Capitol, the Pentagon, and numerous law enforcement agencies.

Obama praised Ayers’s book in the Chicago Tribune, sat with him on a foundation’s board, and benefited from a fundraiser held at the couple’s home. Ayers spoke at events organized by Michelle Obama; Barack Obama spoke at events organized by Ayers.

Obama answer which is not an answer is his protesting that he was only eight when Ayers, Dohrn, Rudd, and company embarked on their bombing campaign, and that’s reasonable enough. Yet no refute of their attacks on their own country and their support for him.

Fortunately for him, the Left has a long history of cold-shouldering predecessors to perpetuate its ideology, cleanse it from past failures, and make it appear fresh. The New Left dissociated itself from the Old Left’s Russophilic dogmatism through the Port Huron Statement and other declarations of independence.

Even the phrase “New Left” was adopted to divorce the Left from its history.

Now, completing the circle, the SDS alumni of “progressives” for Obama resurrect a term that would have been more familiar to their distant forebears in the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. On the Left, everything old, is eventually new again.

In 2008, it is their vocal support that may cost Barack Obama the presidency. Obama can take a page from the early days of the New Left, which—initially, at least—refused to allow discredited radicals to discredit it.

Obama, in what is already become his chameleon phase, will sooner or later, publicly divorces himself from these old worn out radical supporters, whose association does more for them, than it does for him, or he faces the prospect of Bill Ayers and cohorts of SDS never was being as his Willie Horton.

Impeach Carter!+



Poll: Some Clinton supporters still not embracing Obama?

Growing number of Clinton supporters polled say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, an indication the party has yet to coalesce around the Illinois senator four weeks after the most prolonged and at times divisive primary race in modern American history came to a close.
CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Friday. Is it this merely a speed bump on Hope’s triple-crown hyped highway?

In early June before the New York senator ended her White House bid, 60 percent of Clinton backers polled said they planned on voting for Obama. In the latest poll, that number has dropped to 54 percent.

In early June, 22 percent of Clinton supporters polled said they would not vote at all if Obama were the party's nominee, now close to double that, a whopping 33% say they will stay home.

Still adding further wounds to wonder boys fanatic stigma is 43 percent of registered Democrats polled still say they would prefer Clinton to be the party's presidential nominee compared to just 35% of ALL Democrats preferring Clinton before Pelosi, Dean and the Obama Putsch got essentially the nomination.

Back then before is Putsch Victory Obama garnered 59% of all Democrats, now he lost 5% of them and gets 54%.

Obama’s spin doctors spin and spew "the stages of grief: as if the positive outcome for Obama-nationalism, yet, is that not that just more reliance on hope like Obama's does.

Obama irked by Iraq flap

Posted: 04:03 PM ET

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama, speaking on board his campaign plane as it headed to St. Louis on Saturday, continued to defend his position on Iraq — and questioned reporters’ parsing of his words.

Obama said he was startled “at how finely calibrated every single word was measured” after his Iraq statements Thursday. “I am surprised at how … the press … I’m not trying to dump on you guys, but I’m surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured,” he said.

“I wasn’t saying anything that I hadn’t said before. That I didn’t say a year ago. Or when I was a U.S. senator. If you look at our position, it’s been very consistent. The notion that we have to get out carefully has been a consistent position,” he said, adding, “The belief that we have a national security interest in making sure Iraq is secure, I’ve been saying consistently.” –From CNN’s Ed Hornick and Chris Welch

http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/05/ob...d-by-iraq-flap/

Duh Obama-nanny, where have you been the last 16 years with the last two US presidents every word’s miscue parsed to fit agenda both foreign and domestic? Words do matter, Mr. Obominator who is for sure not ready for a prime time presidency.


Liberal Logic and foresight:




The Audacity of Hope or, now perhaps more theTimidity of Despair or;

Yes, we can, or Yes, he will, Change.


Change, it turns out, wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Having campaigned for the past year as the agent of transformation, the man who would lead an historic shift in America's political direction, Barack Obama is discovering that there is quite a lot he likes about the way things are.

Since securing the Democratic nomination a few weeks ago, the only change coming from the Illinois senator has been in what he seems to stand for. Last month he dropped his opposition to a Bill before Congress that would give telecoms companies immunity from prosecution for carrying out illegal wiretaps on potential terrorist suspects.

He told a cheering crowd of Israel's supporters of his fervent commitment to the security of the Jewish state and added, for good measure, that an “undivided” Jerusalem should be the nation's capital. He said that he likes free trade after all, and that his primary campaign pledge to dismantle the North American Free Trade Agreement was a case of “overheated rhetoric”.

Last week he expressed support for a Supreme Court decision that struck down a ban on handguns and opposition to another that outlawed the death penalty for rape of a child.

This week he promised to expand President Bush's faith-based organisations initiative, a programme that channels funds to religious groups so that they can deliver social welfare services, which the Left regards as a heinous blurring of Church-State separation.
If next week he named Dick Cheney as his running-mate and revealed that he spends his spare time drilling for oil in wildlife habitats, the only surprise would be that it took him so long.

Of course there's nothing much new in what the senator has done. In the lexicon of modern American politics, it's called a pivot. You campaign hard to the party's extreme in the primary election, where the base voters tend to be. Then, when the nomination is secure and there are no more idealists to be humoured, you pivot back to the centre. The only difference is that in Mr Obama's case the pivot is so hard and so fast that the entire Democratic Party is suffering from whiplash.

A whimper of pain has gone up from the base. Those who really believed in the Audacity of Hope now fear a Timidity of Despair. Thousands of Obama supporters have signed a petition on his website begging him to reconsider his position on the illegal wiretaps - a seemingly minor campaign issue, but one that carries great talismanic symbolism for civil libertarians.

Left-wing commentators have raised the usual cry of betrayal. Arianna Huffington, that rare creature, a young conservative who moved sharply left in middle age, dubbed Mr Obama's move not realpolitik, but “realstupidpolitik”.

Conservatives, meanwhile, led by John McCain's Republican campaign, say that the presumptive Democratic nominee's pivot shows that, for all his talk of offering a new kind of politics, he is really just another cynical politician who will say anything to get elected.

I suspect that all this worries Mr Obama not at all. The louder the Left complains, the deeper the satisfaction at Obama headquarters.
Can you remember a time in, say the past 100 years, when the American people have rejected a presidential candidate because they thought that he was insufficiently left-wing? As for conservatives, they should be cheering Mr Obama, not complaining.

The Left had hoped that 2008 would be a watershed election, a long-awaited counterblast to the Reagan Revolution of 1980 and Newt Gingrich's Contract with America in 1994. And if there were ever a time when the country seemed ready to move left this was surely it. Democrats have a 20-percentage-point lead in opinion polls; those same polls show that almost fourfifths of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. The Republican Party today has all the appeal of a communicable disease.

And yet, on the issues, as Mr Obama understands, people are not so radical. On domestic prosecution of the War on Terror, on cultural issues such as guns and the death penalty, on religion's role in public life, perhaps even on trade and free markets, there is little evidence that Americans are ready to abandon their beliefs.

This is another example of how smart the Obama campaign is. They understand that the biggest impediment to an Obama presidency is lingering doubt about whether their man is a straight-down-the-middle American. Despite having a couple of bestsellers to his name, he is still something of a blank page to most voters, one on which his opponents are trying to doodle all kinds of unflattering portraits of an extremist.

So he is spending these dog days of summer reassuring interested but nervous voters that he is as American as the Fourth of July. And he is doing something else besides - looking ahead to his possible presidency.

A clever pragmatist, he knows that if he wins in November, he will face an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress, clamouring to push the country harder to the left. It would, irony of ironies, fall to President Obama to reassure the American people that he can hold those radical enthusiasms in check.
What is more, by abandoning so many left-wing totems, Mr Obama is emphasising that his promise of change is more than just a swing to the left of the old political pendulum; that his promise of post-partisan politics is a genuine one.

But there is a risk in all this repositioning. Mr Obama will almost certainly have to junk a lot more of the campaign baggage he has accumulated over the past year.

Two big plans look especially vulnerable. The first is his tax policy. This would raise the top marginal rate of federal income tax in the US on those earning $250,000 a year to more than 56 per cent. As the conservative Heritage Foundation pointed out in a report this week, that would put the US somewhere between Finland and Sweden in a league table of marginal tax rates. I doubt whether the American people really want to adopt a Scandinavian economic model, especially during a period of stagnation.

The other challenge is Iraq. Mr Obama continues to insist that Iraq is a failed war and says that he will withdraw all US combat troops within 16 months of taking office. But the closer the election gets, the less plausible it will be to refuse to acknowledge the success that US forces have had in Iraq in the past year.

If, as I suspect is highly likely, he drops these two big remaining planks from his platform, it might not just be the Left who will be wondering: what's left?

Obama flips and flops and the left, rage on, about it.

When Barack Obama started his fairy tale run for the White House, the operative term was CHANGE.

CHANGE this, CHANGE that, CHANGE everything, was the promise from the charismatic young Marxist who set the nation afire with his naive exuberance, confident demeanor, and ability to send "inevitability Queen" Hillary Clinton back to the US Senate with her tail between her legs and about $20 million missing from her personal checking account.

Those were the heady days of January through May when Obama took on the persona of a rock star, not only in America but also throughout the world.

As a rock star, Obama would probably be a terrific candidate; in fact, he would be nearly unbeatable.

But being commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation on earth is a bit more challenging that that. Indeed, when one is running for the presidency, voters expect the candidate to state his positions clearly and to stick to them.

However, much to the chagrin of dim wits at moveon.orgy and other lefty goons, Barack Obama has started backing away from his agenda of change on an almost daily basis.

Remember these promises?

Elect me, he said, and we will bring the troops home in 16 months.

Elect me, he said, and we will rework NAFTA to meet the needs of American labor.

Elect me, he said, and I will meet with terrorists like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without pre-conditions.

Elect me, he said, and there will be no retroactive immunity for phone companies that helped the government implement warrantless wiretapping programs.
Elect me, and I will tax the rich and give it to the poor.

In addition, Obama made a commitment to participate in public financing as a way to indemnify his campaign from entanglements with unsavory lobbyists and influence buyers.

Once Hillary Clinton was vanquished, by the insiders of the Dean, Pelosi and Obama Putsch, and the nomination assured, Barack Obama sleeked away from his earlier serpent tongued promises apparently with impunity.

Left wing fools like those at the daily Kos-nostra and Shut up and Moveon.orgy are finally catching on from the alter-nut reality, a day late, and S245 million dollars of their dollars short--they have been bamboozled, big time, by the brother, who not a brother at all, with the Muslim first, middle, and last names!

Contrary to earlier promises, if elected, Obama will:

NOT bring the troops home in sixteen months;

NOT Work to re-negotiate NAFTA;

NOT Meet with the world's terrorists without pre-conditions, and

NOT oppose retroactive immunity for warrantless wiretapping.
NOT will not be in reality and economic practicality a liberating Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor.

And he has already sworn off public financing!

In truth, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school politician, indistinguishable from all the others who work to assure that the status quo is maintained at all costs.

Still, it is very entertaining to watch the left squirm and squeal as Obama slip slides further and further away from their wrong headed communist agenda!

Abe Greenwald - 07.09.2008 - 5:41 PM

"I don’t understand when people are going around worrying about, we need to have English only. They want to pass a law, we just, we want English only . . . Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English, I agree with this. But understand this, instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English, they’ll learn English, you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish."


So to be clear: President Obama, Americans must learn Spanish! Odd thing to demand Mr President, you ,as the elitist false prophet are the one who holds several impressive first-tier degrees, from impressive First Tier Indoctrinate U's, yet, neither you, nor your wife, or Children, nor, your life long Reverend and Chicago Mafia of hate, speak a word of Spanish.

So it is DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO Mr. President of CHANGE but MY WAY!
