Who will tell Obama's sheeple?

I am trying to decide if I should put this bit of information in the "Hello suckers!" or "I told you so" file. I am just curious who is going to tell all the sheeple who will be voting for Obama on Tuesday:

"Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harbouring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve. "- Times of London

I guess the most of the American media is still drinking the Obama kool aid to report on this story.

Divided we have more debate and responsible government

The Washington Post has an article today about the argument some Republicans are using during there reelection campaign, That is one party rule would allow an unchecked government to run amok. There are even concerns among the Democrats that they could over reach in there legislation. Here are the money quotes:

"In both chambers, liberal stalwarts are eager to turn on the spigot for increased spending on health-care, housing and education programs."

Somebody needs to tell these liberals. It's not about spending it's about governing.

"Democrats will face an early test when it takes up the children's health insurance bill vetoed by President Bush, as one of the new Congress's first tasks next year. The legislation would offer coverage to an additional 4 million children and is being portrayed by Democrats as a first step toward fulfilling Obama's pledge to provide universal health care.
Liberal Democrats are expected to expand the program further, to include children of illegal immigrants. But Hoyer said that would be asking for too much, financially and politically. "

And the American people especially don't want there money to be spent on illegal immigrants who have broken our laws.

"You might be able to do big things that have been blocked by divided government," said David Rohde, a Duke University political scientist. "But the potential pitfall is you can overreach, alienate the opposition party and alienate independents -- sowing the seeds of your own destruction."

Very true. The danger is once the liberal Democrats get near the money they can't won't be able to stop spending it. Much like the Republicans in the recent past.

Idiot bankers and us sucker taxpayers

I was on the Amtrak heading down to Washington D.C. last night when I opened up the Financial Times weekend edition. They had a front page story of retiring Andrew Lahde of the hedge fund Lahde Capital. He was one of the few money managers to have correctly predicted the sub prime crisis. One of his funds made a return of 870 per cent last year. In his farewell letter to his investors he talks about the elite “aristocracy” and the "idiot bankers" who were on the other side of his bets. You know the same ones we middle class taxpayers will be bailing out to the tune of a trillion dollars thanks to the lame brains in like my Congressman Tim Bishop and others. Here are some of the money quotes:

"Saying he was “in this game for the money”, Mr Lahde went on to mock those who traded with him.
“The low-hanging fruit, ie idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking.”
“These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government.
“All of this behaviour supporting the aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.”

Thank you Mr Laude for confirming what I suspected all along.

Obama, ACORN and the Presidency

At the debate at Hofstra University here on Long Island last night Obama downplayed and tried to dismiss his involvement with ACORN the multinational political organization that is currently at the center of voter registration fraud investigation in a number of states. Here is how Obama addressed his connections with ACORN

"Now, with respect to ACORN, ACORN is a community organization. Apparently what they've done is they were paying people to go out and register folks, and apparently some of the people who were out there didn't really register people, they just filled out a bunch of names."

Except Mr. Obama this has been happening over and over through the years in a number of states. Only now is this rampant fraud starting to be exposed.

"It had nothing to do with us. We were not involved. The only involvement I've had with ACORN was I represented them alongside the U.S. Justice Department in making Illinois implement a motor voter law that helped people get registered at DMVs."

Now this was a little bit of shuck and jive on Obama's part. Because there was no mention of the $832,598 payment made in February by the Obama campaign to Citizens Services Inc., a consulting firm affiliated with Acorn.
The Obama campaign initially reported that the payment was for “staging, sound, lighting” and other advance work when it reported its expenditures with the Federal Election Commission. It filed amended reports in August and September to reflect that those payments were for get-out-the-vote efforts. Also not mentionedwas Obama's training seminars for ACORN workers.

"Now, the reason I think that it's important to just get these facts out is because the allegation that Sen. McCain has continually made is that somehow my associations are troubling."

Troubling I'll say it's troubling watch this video from December 2007 to see what to expect from Obama's presidency and the influence of ACORN. Ask yourself what exactly does she mean by "community values" . Here is exhibit A:

Signs the economy is getting hot.

But, not in a good way. From today's Washington Post:

"Last year, Alexandria residents Yesenia Gomez and her husband, Jose Reyes, fell behind on payments on their 2007 Dodge Caravan. According to prosecutors, a middle school pal of Gomez's, Daybin Rodriguez, told Gomez that he'd burned a car in the past and could do so again.
Gomez decreased the minivan policy's deductible, and a week later the vehicle was found torched in Mason Neck State Park in Lorton, prosecutors said. She and Rodriguez have since entered pleas to destruction of property charges. Charges against Reyes were dropped.

Obama's "elitism" strikes a cord in some voters.

So I'm listening to NPR the other day and and the reporter is asking an Obama supporter about the charge of Obama being an elitist The guy answers:

'Well, don't we want an elite person as President? I'm mean in our military we want an elite fighting force.'

You can't make this stuff up. This answer is as frightening as the McCain supporter who called Obama an Arab.

Eugene Robinson crys the News

In his column on Tuesday Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and Obama butt boy complains about how the McCain campaign is trying use the "news media" to distract the issues in the campaign. As opposed to say the "news media" bringing their bias and prejudice for Obama into their reporting or not reporting as the case may be. Robinson obviously frustrated that the McCain campaign won't play by his and the liberal mainstream media rules. Here are some of the money quotes:

"we think of ourselves as working in the public interest. We repeatedly remind everyone that our right to do our jobs however we see fit is enshrined in the First Amendment. "

Note to Eugene Robinson: That first amendment does not only apply to six figure salaried columnist at the Washington Post but, also to working class guys sitting at a keyboard at 6:30 in the morning commenting on the news of the day or the news media, Get used to it! Mr. Robinson.

"We love to quote Thomas Jefferson about how he would rather have newspapers without a government than a government without newspapers. "

I suspect that if Thomas Jefferson were alive to day he might say the same thing except because of the continuing failures of the mainstream news media he might phrase it a little differently. Perhaps something like this:

I would rather have a country without newspapers than a country without bloggers.

I think Jefferson would truly understand that bloggers are truly the voices of the American people not columnist at organizations like the Washington Post. I suspect Jefferson would be a blogger too.
Robinson continues:

"But in the Jeffersonian sense, we know that it's not in the public interest to spend the rest of the campaign talking about fringe characters who once crossed paths with Obama, McCain, Palin or Joe Biden instead of debating the economy, the war on terror, health care or any of the other big issues that will define the next presidency. "

Uh, like illegal immigration? Have we heard one peep from the candidates or the news media about this issue? How about when candidate Obama just makes stuff up in speeches as he did in May. Did the Washington Post cover it? I guess since it was Obama and not McCain it was not considered news.

BAILOUT: The taxpayer view

Congress and the bailout: Bad hand or bad idea?

I've got Nancy (the putz) Pelosi's words ringing in my head after she and the other sheep in Congress railroaded through the 900 billion dollar bailout pork bill. She said that the were dealt a "bad hand" like the members of Congress were at a casino. Yep, she and my Congressman Tim Bishop and Senators Clinton and Schumer were gambling alright. With our money! What was the result of their roll of the dice? Today's Washington Post has the money quotes:

"Last week, the nation's political leaders said the financial system would collapse unless they passed a $700 billion rescue package for Wall Street. On Monday, the first day of trading after the plan passed, the financial system continued to melt down anyway. "

The American people told congress that this was a bad idea they did not listen.

Voter fraud, ACORN and the Washington Post

The Washington Post had an article by Alec MacGillis and Alice Crites about voter registration and how it seems to benefit Obama. While it mentioned ACORN:

"Complementing its efforts are organizations that have been registering hundreds of thousands on their own, such as Democracia USA, which registers Hispanic voters; ACORN, the anti-poverty group; and Women's Voices, Women Vote, which targets unmarried women."

There was no mention of the voter registration fraud that ACORN has been caught in. Michelle Malkin has been on the case for awhile and recent testomony before congress has shed more light on the voter registration fraud that is going on in our Democracy.

"Here are the most important questions right now: We know about the thousands of potentially fraudulent voter registration cards turned in by ACORN and caught by officials. But given the size of ACORN's efforts and the fact that the abuses appear to be systemic, we believe it is fair to question how many more fraudulent registrations have not been discovered, Furthermore, as this mega organization with a decades long history of violating the law is turned to get out the vote efforts, we believe it is fair to question how many fraudulent registrations may lead to fraudulent votes or what other activities they are willing to undertake to influence the election. ?

Perhaps if the Washington Post had dug a little deeper they would have exposed this threat to our democracy. But in Obamaworld it seems that liberal news organizations like the Washigton Post have a see no illegal write about no illegal activity view when it comes to Obama and the Democrats.

I was robbed

I had this dream on Friday night. The banks made these sub prime loans to people who could never afford a mortgage. Then President Bush, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, my Congressman Tim Bishop, Senator Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton and a bunch of other politcians showed up. They went into my wallet and made me and other taxpayers pay the banks back for the subprime loans that they gave out.. Did anyone else have this dream? Thank God nothing like that could never actually happen in the American capitalist system.

Bank, bailouts, extortion and the Senate

Well Wall Street and the banks seem to be using extortion to try and get Congress to have U.S. taxpayers buy up their crap sub prime loans. In the Senate it looks like their lobbyists may have succeeded in getting dumbocrats like Chris Dodd to railroad this through. Meanwhile the banks are using extortion to make the situation worse. By tightening credit the are making the situation worse on purpose/ Nobody is actually asking the question that these banks can not keep up this extortion for long because they are in business to lend money. That's why they are trying to rush Congress to pass this bailout bill before people realize the game they are playing. If they get away with it it will be the biggest rip off the U.S. taxpayers.
