Being that Obama could well be the next President of the US of A I'm both saddened and shocked at the appalling lack of patriotism on display from some.

Very unAmerican it is, they're probably Commie flag-burners.

^Funny Peewee trolling the USA domestic issues as if he had a fucking clue.

Boon Mee

He never has had one before?
What makes you think he's improved himself any of late?

Norton

Obama's lead seems insurmountable at the moment. Only an act of monumental incompetent stupidity within the Obama campaign could propel McCain to a win.

Never lose hope Republicans. After all, the campaign is staffed by Democrats. All Republicans know the Dems are perfectly capable of committing extreme acts of stupidity.

Maybe the upcoming 30 minute Obama infomercial will seal the deal one way or another.

Odd you should bring this up. Could be a big mistake. In the 1948 Truman/Dewey race both produced films shown in theaters throughout the nation. Dewey was way ahead before the films were shown but Truman won the election by a wide margin.

"In the final weeks of the campaign, American movie theaters agreed to play two short newsreel-like campaign films in support of the two major-party candidates; each film had been created by its respective campaign organization.

The Dewey film, shot professionally on an impressive budget, featured very high production values, but somehow reinforced an image of the New York governor as cautious and distant. The Truman film, hastily assembled on virtually no budget by the perpetually cash-short Truman campaign, relied heavily on public-domain and newsreel footage of the President taking part in major world events and signing important legislation. Perhaps unintentionally, the Truman film visually reinforced an image of the President as engaged and decisive.

Years later, historian David McCullough cited the expensive, but lackluster, Dewey film, and the far cheaper, but more effective, Truman film, as important factors in determining the preferences of undecided voters."

Apparently Obama's also writing drafts of his inaugural address already also.

Is this the one you're talking about?

My Name Is Barack Obama, and I Approve This Mistress

Bill Clinton.
John Edwards.
And now, apparently, Barack Obama.
There seems to be something about the kind of narcissist that runs for higher office that impedes them from keeping their pants on, and the Greek tragedy may be happening again. We've been hearing the name of one of Barack Obama's alleged mistresses for weeks (and I'm sure many of you have as well), but I didn't want to publish it without a credible source backing it.



The guys at Blackfive have that credible source, and they're putting the name of Barack Obama's alleged mistress out there:

Another example of his ability to plan for the future. Win or lose, he will again be prepared. McCain should be working on his in anticipation of a win now that he has Obama "right where he wants him" (10% point lead in the polls) so he won't look as foolish as he was in claiming the "fundamentals of the economy are strong" .

Are you sure you are not Sonny of the famous Sonny and Cher couple.

And the beat goes on,

Oh forgaot, Sonny killed himself smashing into a tree while skiing. He zigged when he should have zagged.

^Typical Liberal lunacy - do try to stay on topic Norton...

Did I mention that Khalidi and the Obamas were great friends in Chicago and often shared meals together.

Khalidi was also best friends with Bill Ayers.

Norton

Liberal lunacy. Has a nice ring to it. This would contrast with Republic Desperation I reckon.

And the topic is? Obama knows some Muslims, who know Bill Ayers and who have the audacity to criticize Israel? OK he does. Next issue please!

Mid

way it's shaping up currently according to the beeb , if Obama loses America will have exposed it's racists side ..................

Mr Earl

I seem to remember Theresa Kerry's measuring the drapes for the White House backfired on her.

Norton

Sure did. But just think how nice her drapes would have been had she become first lady.

Boon Mee

So what do fukkin' drapes have to do with Rashid Khalidi, eh?

Norton

Twas Mr. Earl made me do it. I've read all your links to Mr. Khalidi. I conceded Obama knows him. You have posted the blog links in nearly every thread. I may become more interested when all the blogger claims have some basis in truth. Until then Rashid is just another red herring and a weak attempt to characterize Obama as a Muslim, extremist terrorist intent on the over throw of the US. All nonsense aimed at gullable hard core McCain supporters.
