Crime Boss

OBAMUNISM, The Party, Who Da Biggest Crime Boss in Da Land “ White House officials use private emails to skirt FOIA laws    While working as deputy White House chief of staff, President Obama's current campaign manager, Jim Messina, used his AOL account to orchestrate the controversial deal by which drug companies lobbied for and ran ads supporting passage of Obamacare, which was just one example in a government-wide trend. * key political appointees at the U.S. Department of Energy working on the controversial clean energy loan program made infamous by the Solyndra debacle routinely conducted official government business using private email accounts in an attempt to shield their communication from public exposure via the Freedom of Information Act. * Political appointees at another federal agency who found a clever way to not only use private email accounts but to rig the system automatically to remove all traces of them from government servers.

Barry Who? “ Stick with it until the end;  it's not what it seems While not high on production values, this overview of Barry What's-his-name captures the essence of this mysterious man-person.  While I'm unable to detect a single falsehood, I suspect his supporters will balk over questions about his place of birth, and education, but the video makes no claims here, other than "Barry has never released any record."  My sense is that after he's been removed from office,  we will learn a whole lot more about this man, and those revelations will effectively destroy today's Democrat Party.  Yes, I am in my Cup-half- filled mode just now.  Your job is to get people who will hate to see this video to watch it.  I suggest lying to them ("... stick with it until the end, it's not what it seems") ”

Obama and the Jerkstore

2012                                            Obama and the Jerkstore   “ Last night on FNC, Charles Krauthammer made a brilliant observation.  He compared Obama's  post debate attack on Romney yesterday as an example of  what I call the Jerkstore effect, after the Seinfeld episode.  The phenomenon where, after you've been squelched in debate,  on the way home you think of all the things you wish you'd said at the time .   Krauthammer used another term for this behavior; does anyone out there remember what it was?  At any rate, it's spot-on. ”

More Phony Polls

Karl Rove: Can We Believe the Presidential Polls? Last week's CBS/New York Times poll had Obama ahead by nine points in Florida. That's not very likely. “ If nothing else,  this is the first election cycle ever where the ubiquitous phony media poll results have been questioned so broadly.  Karl Rove's remembrance is my best example, because I remember the Reagan Carter fraud so well. I've seen a movie like this one before. I was in my 20s and director of the Texas Victory Committee for Reagan-Bush. Our headquarters was in an old mortuary in Austin. That seemed an appropriate venue when, on Oct. 8, 1980, the New York Times released its poll on the presidential race in Texas, one of 10 battlegrounds. (Yes, the Lone Star State was then a battleground.) According to the Times, the contest was "a virtual dead heat," with President Jimmy Carter ahead despite earlier surveys showing Ronald Reagan winning. A large Hispanic turnout for Mr. Carter—and the fact that Texas was "far more Democratic than the nation" (only 16% of Texans identified themselves as Republicans then)—meant that Mr. Reagan "must do better among independents" to carry the state. Our hurriedly called strategy session at the mortuary had more than the normal complement of hand-wringers. Then came more hard punches. On Oct. 13, Gallup put the race nationally at Carter 44%, Reagan 40%. The bottom appeared to fall out two weeks later when a new national Gallup poll had Carter 47%, Reagan 39%.  [ Can We Believe the Presidential Polls? ] I'll never forget when, back in the  wonderful 70's  (the worst decade in American history),  the FCC issued a cease and desist against a floor wax commercial—because it falsely depicted a woman gliding over her kitchen floor, genie like, after using it.  Evidently there had been complaints from disappointed consumers when they didn't levitate.  If the government can have dominion over fantasy,  it can certainly find a way to stop media from using these  polls to create false news to sway an electorate into supporting an ideology.  ”

If Empty Chairs Could Talk “ I think we've all been wondering how, and how long it will take, for media to turn Obama's humiliating debate performance into an explainable anomaly.  He's normally so quick on his feet  in unrehearsed scenarios, don't you know; it had to be something.  Here's the best one I heard. Bob Woodward earlier explained that there had to have been some deeply disturbing news—about a world situation, or family— that reached him just prior to air-time.  "When the onion is peeled," Woodward said, we'll find out what it was.  Nice try Bob.  But, wait.  You may  have blindly stumbled onto  something. This?   Obama rattled by developing donor scandal story? President Obama reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story. Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday. The Obama campaign has received hundreds of millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record September donor haul of $150 million. The article does mention that the 2008 Obama campaign let donors use "largely untraceable prepaid credit cards to evade limits and mask a contributor's identity."  There was no investigations, nor follow-up however. ”

Quick- het me one of "our" judges on the line ...

"PA.ID ruling could aid Obama" I'm catching up on yesterday's news,  and just ran across this AP article.  What must anyone reading this instantly conclude?  The Liberal must, at the very least,  feel embarrassment at being so publicly stripped naked.  The "independent" voter will mindlessly tuck it away in a brain file (Democrats really are cheats).  Someday it will all percolate.  Sheesh.  Our election process is Mexican corrupt.  It's a wonder Obama will lose this election. By the by. I did a news search on the first paragraph text.  Lots of results, but when I went to a cited link, the  "PA. ID ruling could aid Obama"  headline was changed.  And that includes the source article you're looking at.  Independents will have to work hard now to understand its message.

My Favorite Animal

Catharsis My Favorite Animal Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.     I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most.  I told her, "Colonel Sanders."

First Debate K.O.

2012                                           MSNBC: 'The President Had No Teleprompter Last Night' Obama Rope-a-Doped*   “ They seem genuanly gobsmacked by this idea. That MSNBC analysis says it all.  So total was Romney's unpantsing of the Poseur last night that the CNN and Gallup polls will (I'm told) only have Obama up by 2 today. I'm basking. I thought it was a mistake for Team Romney to announce before hand that they would be exploiting Obama's inability to tell the truth.   I mean, why telegraphs your punch?  As it turned out, it seems Mitt played Cassius Clay to Obama's Sonny Liston.  He filled Obama with fear and self-doubt.  "Alright, even Bill Maher had to point that this was a rough one for the president, he tweeted this: 'i can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter,'" another host, Mika Brzezinski, added.- Full Weekly Standard ”

In Passing

Goodbye Margie About 15 years ago I found myself alone with my mother-in-law in her Virgina home.  She'd stayed behind to prepare Sunday dinner while everyone else went  gallivanting.  I was watching the Redskin game, and she would wander in from time to time.  I assumed she was just being hospitable— until the Redskins were burned by a long pass play.  I uttered an oath; she cried out, "That corner back [name] has been the weak link in that defense all year!"  WTF?  I was truly gob-smacked by that bit of arcane analysis by this mother of my wife (who thinks a line backer is a Detroit Lions fan (she's from Michigan).  "How in God's name did you know that?" I asked. "I know a lot of things," she responded with a twinkle. And she did.  We buried her next to her husband Dan yesterday.  She outlived him by 19 years.  She has surely gone straight to Heaven.  No purgatory time at all.  I am most fortunate;  my in-laws were and are some of the best people I've ever known.  I told mother-in-law jokes, but they were bereft of any rancor.  I loved the woman, and her husband. Looking around the church hall after the funeral I saw her legacy.  Three generations of the most beautiful offspring I've ever seen.  And all of them as sweet and kind as she was.  That's a fine legacy.  R.I.P. Margie.

Who's The Leader Of the Cheats - DONKS!

REMEMBER EVAN THOMAS’S FAMOUS “FIFTEEN PERCENT” REMARK FROM 2004?  “The media, I think, wants Kerry to win and I think they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards I’m talking about the establishment media, not Fox. They’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there’s going to be this glow about them, collective glow, the two of them, that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.” Thomas later revised his estimate to five points. So the media’s trying much harder this time around, and Obama and Romney are basically tied. Does that mean that without the media’s help, Obama would be 5 points behind? (Instapundit) Now this revelation—I mean admission (it's common knowledge that Dem pollsters cheat)—   from the Gore, Edwards, and Kerry campaign pollster.  If this was Bush's pollster, Sixty-Minutes would already be geared up for Sunday's program. In May, the pollster for Al Gore's presidential bid in 2000 and John Edwards's in 2004 and 2008, Harrison Hickman, took the stand in the federal criminal case against Edwards over alleged campaign finance violations stemming from payments to support Edwards's mistress. Under oath, Hickman admitted that in the final weeks of Edwards's 2008 bid, Hickman cherry-picked public polls to make the candidate seem viable, promoted surveys that Hickman considered unreliable, and sent e-mails to campaign aides, Edwards supporters and reporters which argued that the former senator was still in the hunt —even though Hickman had already told Edwards privately that he had no real chance of winning the Democratic nomination. [Full] Now, Jimmy Carter's pollster Pat Caddell almost has a s**t hemorrhage talking about the Democrat media role in suborning elections with ersatz poll numbers.  He doesn't say it right out, but it's clear Caddell sees these swine as no less a danger to this nation than were Hitler, Tojo, and Stalin. And we went to war with them.

Catharsis Norty I received the call last night from my sobbing daughter.  Sobbing daughter whom I couldn't readily understand, but which immediately enveloped me in a sense of dread and panic.  You know.  Eventually I understood that she was saying, "Dad, we just put Norton down."  What? We just put Morton down.  We were playing with the dogs and Jimmy noticed Norton's gums were all gray.  Norton seemed okay, but he took him to the vet. After their daughter, Boxers Mabel and Norton are the dearest members of their immediate family,  It seems Norton had ruptured something internally, and it was unrepairable.  Norton was still wagging his tail while Lula-Mae held him, as the vet administered Obamacare.  It was dreadful.  I've been there; You've been there.  Might have have been a cat, a goldfish or a parakeet, but you know.  But it was not Lula-Mae, Jimi, nor the little Princess.  I feel dreadful for them; but I am also so very grateful. Thank you God. No more calls like that in my lifetime, though.  Please.

His Lips Are Moving?

2012                                            Obama's poker tells When Obama is Lying “ Talk show hosts love when the president gives one of his very rare press conference or any other occasion when he is off prompter. That is when these "tells" surface, giving all veteran Obama observers the verbal heads-up that the president has entered the land of thinly disguised fantasy or obvious dissembling. First, the president begins a pattern of "ahs" and "uhmms" which are as embarrassing as they are revealing. The awkward pausing punctuated by these semi-stutters increases in frequency as the president senses his own flailing about. Next, the president begins filibustering. His average length of answer in every press conference is already epic, but he has been getting worse as the presidency has dragged on. Pressers are not battles between the "reporters" and the president. Very few not named Jake or Ed bother the president with fastballs. The struggle is simply between the president and the effort he has to land the plane anywhere near where it took off, so far does he wander as he rambles through the minutes he is obliged to spend appearing to take questions. The president will allegedly be subject to time limits on Wednesday night, but his contempt for most such rules almost guarantees he will blow through every limit and dare the moderator or Mitt Romney to challenge him. [Hugh Hewitt cont] The media are up to the task, if the past is any indication.  Four years ago Steve Kroft interviewed candidate Obama on Sixty-Minutes.  “ KROFT: But what is there specifically about you? You mentioned disposition. You mentioned disposition. What skills and traits do you have that would make you a good president? ” Obama's stumbling, bumbling answer to this, and other questions,  were so telling about this vapid little man left unscripted,  that Sixty-Minutes later doctored the transcript. ”

Well, loving him. I mean, he's talking about how 47% of the nation  are government dependents.  Even if you are a - damn, I forgot what Helly called them—again—(the note I made is missing). Even if you are a slave to the Nanny State, a willing frog in a boiling pot, it's not something you want to admit.  So who is Obama targeting with this commercial?  A bunch of people who got free cell phones, that's who.  Who identifies with them?  Romney's right;  he will never get their vote, which is why everyone else admires his stance.  Right?  What am I missing?  Do you think it's really as bad as 47 per cent?  Mother of God.

More Poll Crap

Barone: When it comes to polls, readers beware   Michael Barone is one of the few observers of the political scene whom I still respect. That doesn't mean he's always right, it means I think he earnestly tries to get it right.  Here he weighs in on the "controversy over whether the polls are accurate."  This point has been made in the past, but I've not seen it articulated this election cycle. “ ...  today the percentage of households without land-line phones is increasing. Under federal law, cellphone numbers have to be hand-dialed rather than dialed by computer, as land-line numbers are now even when live interviewers ask the questions. Cellphone-only individuals tend to be younger and more Democratic than land-line owners. Most pollsters are conducting a set number of interviews with cellphone-only households. But they can only guess at what percentage of the electorate they'll constitute. Oversample them and you'll get overly Democratic results. ”   Barone sees some indication that the blasé Democrat base is more motivated since their convention, but there are so many variables (like "discrepancies between exit polls and actual results were in precincts where the interviewers were female graduate students) that it's all a crap-shoot.  Rush Limbaugh of course goes at it his own way.   And, more succinctly: “ "Voter registration in [Ohio] is down by 490,000 people from four years ago. Of that reduction, 44% is in Cleveland and surrounding Cuyahoga County, where Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one. ... An August study by the left-leaning think tank Third Way showed that the Democratic voter registration decline in eight key swing states outnumbered the Republican decline by a 10-to-one ratio. "In Florida, Democratic registration is down 4.9%, in Iowa down 9.5%. And," get this: In New Hampshire, where this NBC poll says Obama is pulling away now, Democrat voter registration is down 19.7%. (New Castrati impression) "So, Mr. Limbaugh? What does that have to do with it?"  I'll tell you what it has to do with it, Mr. New Castrati.  It means that oversampling of Democrats in these polls is ridiculous. ”
