Obama’s Stimulus Will Cause 'Lower Wages' for American Workers, Says Congressional Budget Office

(CNSNews.com) – The huge economic stimulus package that President Obama signed into law Tuesday will result in “lower wages” for American workers, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=43704

I haven't heard one good thing that's going to come out of the so-called stimulus package. I know the O says it's going to create jobs, but enough to warrant spending that much money?

I saw a bit on the news last night showing that the stimulus was already putting people to work. They showed a construction crew working and said they went back to work as a result of the stimulus.

Now, for one thing, it was an ongoing construction site with pipes and pilings already in the ground. For another, the money hasn't gotten anywhere yet.

I would "assume" they were implying that the city or county called the guys the minute the stimulus was signed and said, hey, we're going to be getting some money so go back to work tomorrow???

Whatever. I think it's just media-O-love at work.

Obama’s Take out The Trash Day Networks help new administration side-step abortion controversy.

by Colleen Raezler, Culture and Media Institute

Former President George W. Bush reinstated a policy in 2001 that restricted foreign countries using American dollars for abortions. CBS political consultant Craig Crawford called the action “red meat to the Bible Belt conservatives.”

Just three days after taking office, President Barack Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy, a policy set into place by Ronald Reagan that prohibited American funding for foreign abortions. Have the media called it red meat for liberals? No. They’ve mostly been silent.

Signing on the Sneak

Obama signed the executive order late on Jan. 23, the day after the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It was also Friday, a moment that TIME magazine’s Amy Sullivan called, “a time traditionally reserved for the release of information an administration would like to bury.” During the Clinton administration, Friday afternoon was the time for “document dumps,” when the scandal-ridden White House released embarrassing pieces of its paper trail.

Even Hollywood recognizes the timing for what it is – a calculated strategy to avoid tough press. Characters in the liberal political drama “The West Wing” refer to such days as “take out the trash day.” “The West Wing,” by the way, is a show whose ultimate fantasy -- a young, Democratic congressman from nowhere becoming president --fulfilled in Obama’s election.

Sullivan reported that Obama “wants to turn down the heat on an issue that has defined and divided American politics for more than three decades” and based on the media coverage of his decision, it seems to have worked.

CBS and NBC barely mentioned the change in policy during the Jan. 23, 2009 Evening News and Nightly News broadcasts. On the Saturday “Early Show,” CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier noted during a wrap-up of the president’s first few days in office that “Mr. Obama also quietly stepped into the abortion debate” with his executive order that overturned the ban on funding for foreign abortions.

Only ABC acknowledged the controversial nature of Obama’s decision, two days after the fact during World News Sunday. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi noted that the president hoped “not to provoke anti-abortion groups” with the order, and that “it didn’t work.” Alfonsi also featured Tony Perkins, president of the pro-life Family Research Council, who said that Obama “does not have consensus and support from, from the majority of Americans” on social issues.

No networks reported the fact that in a 55-page “wish list” sent to the Obama-Biden transition team by abortion rights groups, reinstating American funding for foreign abortions topped the list with regard to international matters.

Bush “Pleased” the Right

What a difference from eight years ago. Then, Crawford wasn’t the only person accusing Bush of playing politics.

Dan Rather, “CBS Evening News” anchor, introduced a Jan. 22, 2001 report on Bush’s reinstatement of the policy by calling it “something to quickly please the right flank in his party.” John Roberts, chief White House correspondent at CBS, noted “the president waded into controversy on this first day” and “in a nod to anti-abortion groups…announced he’ll cut federal funding to organizations that provide family planning and abortion counseling overseas.”

Roberts’ report also featured criticism by Gloria Feldt, then-president of Planned Parenthood, “The fundamental human and civil right to make our own child-bearing choices is at greater threat than it has been anytime in the 28 years since Roe vs. Wade was decided.” Feldt’s comment re-aired during CBS’ Jan. 23, 2001” The Early Show.” CBS failed to provide a pro-life counterpoint to Feldt.

ABC White House correspondent Terry Moran said Bush’s decision was “designed to appeal to anti-abortion conservatives” on the Jan. 22, 2001 “World News Tonight.”

Newsweek’s Howard Fineman told NBC’s Matt Lauer during the Jan. 23, 2001 “Today” that with the executive order stopping the flow of American money to foreign abortion providers, “George W. Bush following a plan. Secure the base. The Christian right is fundamental to the Republican Party and to his presidency.”

Later in the same broadcast, anchor Ann Curry ignored the pro-life support Bush enjoyed as a result of his executive order. She reported, “Abortion rights supporters are condemning the president’s order Monday, restoring a Reagan-era ban on U.S. funding of overseas family planning groups that advocate abortion.”

Explain and Inform

One thing remained constant in the network coverage from then until Obama’s overturning of the Mexico City Policy: no explanation of the policy aside from as ABC’s Chris Cuomo noted on the Jan. 23, 2009 Good Morning America, “the policy was put in place by Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton overturned, but it was reinstituted by George W. Bush.”

But the same day, Family Research Council’s Tom McClusky succinctly explained the policy and what it means now that Obama has rescinded it:

In as little words as possible, the Mexico City policy halts U.S. family planning funds from going to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that perform abortions or "actively promote" abortion as a method of family planning in other countries… The effect of President Obama rescinding the Mexico City Policy is that now millions ($461 million in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008) of dollars are taken away from family planning groups that do not promote abortion, and delivered into the hands of organizations that are the most militant in promoting abortion as a population-control method - especially in countries that find abortion objectionable on moral grounds.

ABC may not have covered the story immediately or explained the policy, but the network did recognize that allowing organizations to spend American dollars on abortion is not accepted by all. CBS and NBC failed the American public by not explaining what the policy does and also by not holding Obama to the same scrutiny they held Bush to back in 2001.

Hey Libs...

I just learned that anyone who uses the term "libs" is considered trash. You have to take into consideration that the one calling me (or anyone using the term lib) trash has a rather trashy mouth and obviously a whole lotta hate swirling around inside their gut.

I sure wish people could get past the hate. I don't hate my lib friends, who by the way, have no problem with the title. We cut up and have a good time. They wouldn't support Sarah Palin any more than I'd support Barack Obama, but we can have intelligent conversations without rancor.

Ah well, people's words tell a lot about their character.

I do think it's sad that the fringes cause so much turmoil. There are fringe elements on both side of the aisle. It doesn't take much to set them off. Fortunately, the majority of us can agree to disagree and still be willing to sit in the same room without spitting at each other. Unfortunately, the fringe element catches attention and oft times manages to intimidate the middle.

One thing I've noticed about the Sarah Palin haters is they don't seem to know much about her. They simply repeat talking points that have no basis in fact or reality.

I have to run, going to meet some of my lib... left... progressive... whatever you want to call 'em, along with some independent and conservative, friends to work on a charity project... together... in harmony... I'll let the libs know they're conspiring with trash to do good.

President Bush, the free market, and the media

I've been fairly supportive of President Bush. I have disagreed strongly with some of his stances, such as the one on immigration, but overall I've thought he got a bad rap when it came to the way the media treated him. I give him credit for many things, primarily keeping us safe which I believe is the President's number one priority.

The way he and his cohorts have handled the economy is one where he and I part ways. In an interview with CNN he admitted he had abandoned free market principles to keep the economy from completely tanking (my paraphrase). I believe our country was founded on free market principles and that under no circumstances should we abandon those values. We have embarked on a slippery slope towards socialism and I believe Obama is standing at the bottom of the slope with his arms wide open.

We are headed for a different kind of trouble and we will look back on 2008 as the year our way of life collapsed.

In reading the article below (thanks Drudge Report and Michelle Malkin, Michelle being first to mention this one!), I noted that when they quoted President Bush they quoted him completely, including the gaps, the lapses that permeate his speech. I bring it up simply to contrast the way he is portrayed versus the way the press quotes uh, uh, Obama, uh. They don't include his hesitations, his skipping of words or his flaws. With President Bush they seem to highlight the flaws. Maybe I'm being over sensitive on this one, but I would be we won't be hearing skits on Saturday Night Live dissing' Obama.


US President George W. Bush is pictured at the White House i...
US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was forced to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from "collapse."
"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision "to make sure the economy doesn't collapse."
Bush's comments reflect an extraordinary departure from his longtime advocacy for an unfettered free market, as his administration has orchestrated unprecedented government intervention in the face of a dire financial crisis.
"I am sorry we're having to do it," Bush said.
But Bush said government action was necessary to ease the effects of the crisis, offering perhaps his most dire assessment yet of the country's economy.
"I feel a sense of obligation to my successor to make sure there is not a, you know, a huge economic crisis. Look, we're in a crisis now. I mean, this is -- we're in a huge recession, but I don't want to make it even worse." ...

Obama Not Connected, But ALL His Friends Are...

by Mac Johnson
The FBI arrested yet another corrupt Chicago politician , Illinois Governor "Hot" Rod Blagojevich. This makes two corrupt governors in a row to be arrested for felonies committed in office -- and it solidifies Chicago, Ill. as the most corrupt city in America, narrowly edging out New Orleans. Also arrested was corrupt Chicago politician and Blagojevich Chief of Staff John Harris. The two are accused of attempting to "auction off" Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder from the corrupt Chicago political scene. An unknown number of other corrupt Chicago politicians and staffers are also under investigation.

Wow! It's a good thing America didn't just elect a longtime Chicago politician to be the next President of the United States.

Oh...wait, that's just what we did. That's why Obama's Senate seat was vacant and available to be auctioned off to some lucky cash-and-carry Democrat contender. Oh well, I'm sure that The Sacred Dalai Obama is not connected to this scandal or Blagojevich in any other way. Very reassuring was Obama's claim Tuesday that "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not, aware of what was happening."

The only problem is that one of Obama's senior advisors, David Axelrod (a former advisor to Blagojevic) went on Chicago TV on November 23 and said definitively regarding Obama's communications with Blagojevich on whom might acquire Obama's Senate seat: "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them..."

Heritage Foundation: Obama to Tax Everything, Send Money to Kuwait Millionaires

Signed up for Heritage Foundation's updates after seeing on a few other Read My Lipstick Network blogs and now I'm addicted. I've also signed up for P.U.M.A.'s updates. Now I have to figure out Twitter and Facebook and I'll be set.

Here's today's Heritage update:

Barack Obama’s Undemocratic Plan to Tax Everything You Do and Send the Money to Millionaires in Kuwait

Despite the 5,800 miles between them, events yesterday in Poznan, Poland, and Sacramento, Calif., shed a frightening light on the direction President-elect Barack Obama's administration wants to take our country on energy policy. First in Poznan, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) promised delegates at an international climate conference that "Congress and the president-elect are committed to movement on mandatory goals as rapidly as possible." According to Obama's transition website , the preferred enforcement mechanism for these mandatory goals would be a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions, which any honest economist will tell you is really just an energy tax dressed up in drag. Meanwhile, in Sacramento, the unelected California Air Resources Board approved "the nation's most sweeping plan to reduce global warming by curbing emissions." Like Obama's plan, California's plan features "an elaborate cap-and-trade program" at its core.

What makes California's cap-and-trade plan so scary is that voters never had, and never will have, an opportunity to debate and vote on its implementation. The plan is being implemented entirely through the administrative process. None of the members of California board have ever had to, or ever will, face the voters. They are appointed by the governor.

Could a similar thing happen on the federal level? Yes. Obama has already signaled he will pursue that route. Earlier this month he appointed two co-chairmen to his EPA transition team who are leading advocates of using authority from the Clean Air Act to implement a national cap-and-trade system through the EPA without congressional approval. In fact, the EPA has already begun the rule-making process. The plan would invasively regulate every sector of the American economy, ultimately cost 2.9 million manufacturing jobs and reduce aggregate gross domestic product by $6.9 trillion by 2029. The EPA does not take a position on whether the allowances of the cap-and-trade plan will be given away or auctioned off. But with liberals in charge, it is almost guaranteed cap and trade will be treated as government cash cow.

What will Washington do with all the revenue from this new massive energy tax? For that answer, we must travel back to Poznan where the delegates from the world's developing nations continue to refuse to make any firm commitments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions unless developed countries, the United States chief among them, pony up the cash to ease the economic hardship all carbon emission reduction entails. Mexico made headlines with its promise to reduce emissions by 50% by 2020. But reading deeper we learn from the Washington Post (emphasis added):

Fernando Tudela, Mexico's vice minister of environment and natural resources, emphasized the need for financial help from richer nations. At a news conference Thursday, he said that Mexico will set "aspirational goals" but that the extent to which they would be met "will depend on the kind of support we can find in the international regime."

In other words: Mexico isn't cutting anything until the United States cuts a check. And that is where the carbon tax funds come in. Energy and Environment Daily reports that assuming any U.S. cap-and-trade regime auctions off its credits, it "could generate billions of dollars in new revenue that could be shared with developing countries as incentives for making their own commitments." And just who are these developing countries where hard-working Americans will be sending their money? Thanks to antiquated definitions still used by the United Nations, wealthy nations like Singapore, Kuwait, and Qatar are all not only exempt from the more stringent carbon caps that "rich" nations face, but are also eligible for any funds "poor" countries would receive from any international treaty on climate change.

As our economy struggles to recover, our leaders should be working to lower our energy costs and develop our own natural resources, not enacting complex regulatory schemes that will crush our economy and send our hard-earned money overseas.

Some info from NFRW re: Obama's Birth Certificate

From the National Federation of Republican Women:

Litigation over Sen. Obama's Citizenship

Team Obama: "All I can Tell you is that it is just pure garbage."

According to the WorldNetDaily headline above, that was the retort of an Obama campaign spokesperson when asked about complaints requesting that Senator Obama produce a valid Birth Certificate to prove that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States.

Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, states, "No person except a natural born citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President."

The Constitution of the United States is NOT "garbage" and furthermore, securing the rights of the people under the Constitution is NOT "garbage"!

The Obama campaign's response is an elitist, condescending slap in the face to patriotic Americans. No one is above the law and Team Obama cannot make the question of Obama's eligibility go away by disrespecting the American people - and, by inference, the Constitution of the United States.

About comments

I've been talking with Barracuda Babe and Dots for Dummies and a few other friend bloggers about their comments.

Every single comment we get from Obama types includes something so nasty about John McCain or Sarah Palin that we can't publish their comments.

I don't have a problem posting opposing views, that's what makes for a good discussion. Intelligent, respectful disagreement is perfectly fine. I'll get a really good thought from someone on the "other side" but it's surrounded by vicious personal attacks that I wouldn't say about my worst enemy, much less allow the comment. Most, but not all, come from individuals known only as "anonymous".

What is it about Obama supporters that they have to be so ugly? Is that the mindset that wants to run our country? Is that the kind of people that are attracted to this man? I have never experienced such hate before. I know how my mother felt when she used to say she needed to wash someone's mouth out with soap. Some brains need to be scrubbed!

I'm so glad these blogs have the ability to monitor comments.

We're going to WIN!!!

This is it, the last push and you are needed to get our Sarah and John McCain elected on Tuesday. Most early voting is over, although in some states they vote through the weekend. Now we have three days, just three short days, to get to those who are undecided. Strange as it sounds, there are some who still haven't made up their minds.

I heard on the news yesterday from someone, they all start to run together, that the undecided aren't really undecided, they just don't want to say they're not voting for Obama.

I know that is happening in some cases as I have two friends who have told me confidentially that they're voting for John McCain but they're black and they would never live it down if they admitted to their family and church body that they don't support Obama.

In the privacy of the voting booth, not that there are real booths anymore, many will be pushing the McCain-Palin spot in secrecy.

I'm excited as I hear all the good news coming from our friends across the US, and even some of the media hype seems to be getting a tad, a tiny tad, more honest and favorable.

I got this from the McCain campaign and had to share:

The State of the Campaign

If your television is tuned to cable news as frequently as ours are here at campaign headquarters, you have seen the pundits say John McCain and his campaign are done. And, if you've followed this race since the beginning, this is clearly a song you've heard before. I wanted to take some time today to give you some insight on the state of the race as we see it.

An AP poll released this morning revealed a very telling fact:

ONE out of every SEVEN voters is undecided.

That means, if 130 million voters turn out on Tuesday, 18.5 million of them have yet to make up their mind. With that many votes on the table and the tremendous movement we've seen in this race, I believe we are in a very competitive campaign. Here's why: All the major polls have shown a tightening in the race and a significant narrowing of the numbers. In John McCain's typical pattern, he is closing strong and surprising the pundits. We believe this race is winnable, and if the trajectory continues, we will surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed on Election Night.

National Polls: Major polls last week showed John McCain trailing by double-digit margins - but by the middle of this week, we were within the margin of error on four national tracking surveys. In fact, the Gallup national tracking survey showed the race in a virtual tie 2 days this week.

State Polls:

Iowa - Our numbers in Iowa have seen a tremendous surge in the past 10 days. We took Obama's lead from the double digits to a very close race. That is why you see Barack Obama visiting the state in the final days, trying to stem his losses. It is too little, too late. Like many other Midwestern states, Iowa is moving swiftly into McCain's column.

The Southwest - It is no secret that Republican candidates in the Southwest have to focus on winning over enough Latino and Hispanic voters in Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado to carry them to victory. John McCain has overcome challenges Republicans face, and has made up tremendous ground in these states with these voters. For these voters, the choice has become clear, and you have seen a big change in the numbers. John McCain is now winning enough voters to perform within the margin of error - putting these states within reach.

Colorado - Barack Obama tried to outspend our campaign in Colorado during the early weeks of October and finish off our candidate in Colorado. However, after our visit early this week, we saw a tremendous rebound in our poll position, and Colorado is back on the map.

Ohio and Pennsylvania - Everyone knows that vote rich Ohio and Pennsylvania will be key battlegrounds for this election. Between the two: 41 electoral votes and no candidate has gotten to the White House without Ohio. Senator McCain and Governor Palin have been campaigning non-stop in these key battleground states and tonight Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has pumped up our campaign at a rally in Columbus. Our position in these states is strong and undecided voters continue to have a very favorable impression of our candidate.

Obama campaign faces tremendous structural challenges in the final days of this campaign

Obama has a challenge hitting 50%: Barack Obama has not reached the 50% threshold in almost any the battleground state. He consistently is performing in the 45-48% range. When we look closely at the primary votes, we see a history of a candidate whose Election Day performance is often at or behind his final polling numbers. If this is true, our surge will leave Obama with even or under 50% of the vote on Election Day.

Early Vote: The Obama campaign has promised that their early vote and absentee efforts will change the composition of the electorate. They have sold the press on a story that first time voters will turn out in droves this election cycle. Again, the facts undermine their argument. In our analysis of early voting and absentee votes to date: The composition of the electorate has not changed significantly and most folks who have voted early are high propensity voters who would have voted regardless of the high interest in this campaign.

Expanding the Field: Obama is running out of states if you follow out a traditional model. Today, he expanded his buy into North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona in an attempt to widen the playing field and find his 270 Electoral Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn't have the votes to win.

The Final Barnstorm

On Monday, we will have a 14 state rally with our candidates crisscrossing the country trying to turn out our voters and sway the final undecided voters. Governor Palin will hit Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and Alaska in the final day of campaigning, while Senator McCain will travel from Tampa, Florida, to Virginia, then Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada and finish the night in Prescott, Arizona. T

he enthusiasm and excitement we generate on Monday will be the electricity that powers our "Get Out the Vote" efforts on Tuesday.

On the Ground

Our field organization has tremendous energy and is out-performing the Bush campaign at the same time in 2004. This week our field organization crossed a huge threshold and began reaching more than one million voters per day, and by week's end will have contacted more than 5 million voters. Our phone centers are full and our rate of voter contact is significantly out-pacing the Bush campaign in 2004. We have the resources to do the voter contact necessary to support the surge we are seeing in our polling with old fashioned grassroots outreach.

On the Airwaves

In the final days of the campaign, our television presence will be bigger and broader than the Obama campaign's presence. The full Republican effort - the RNC's Independent Expenditure and the McCain campaign will out-buy Barack Obama and the Democrats by just about 10 million dollars.

In short: the McCain campaign is surging in the final 72 hours. Our grassroots campaign is vibrant and communicating to voters in a very powerful way. Our television presence is strong. And, we have a secret ingredient - A candidate who will never quit and who will never stop fighting for you and for your families. In these final hours, Senator McCain and Governor Palin are counting on you - they are counting on you to knock on doors, to make turnout calls, to contact your friends and neighbors. Get our voters to the polls and help John McCain fight for your and for our country. This is our last mission on behalf of John McCain and I have no doubt I can count on your effort and energy to carry us across the line to victory.

Go Sarah!

Sarah is getting ready to get off the plane in Bangor, Maine. There is a huge crowd waiting to see her and hear her speak.

Mainstream media has their heads up their you-know-whats when it comes to this superb lady. Liberals only love liberals!

I only wish John McCain had been able to unveil Sarah earlier! I understand that it wasn't possible and that part of her charm is the surprise of having her, but she has brought such energy to McCain's campaign.

The media and Democrats got off on the wrong foot when they came out in such meanness against her. They've revised their strategy and it is having an affect on the easily led, however you can see by the crowds she's attracting that it ain't workin' near good 'nuff. She has armour that makes Barack Obama's look like aluminum foil.

Not that Obama ever has to worry about the media going after him a fraction as bad as they have against Sarah Palin. Obama can't even handle tough questions posed by Fox News. Fair questions that should be asked by all of the media if they weren't so in love with the idea of Obama. Wait until he turns on them if he's elected. By the time they realize what he is and what he's doing their voice will be nothing but his.

Love Sarah Palin! She is so REAL. I'd have her over for dinner in a heart beat.

Just another day in Obamaland. Odinga, ODM.

Send this to your local newspapers!!! Send it to your friends!!!

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

It was W.A.M. cofounder who did the original in-depth investigation of Obama's connection to Odinga's ODM party, campaign tactics and the broader terrorism movement they both represent. This was done with some degree of anonymity due to security concerns. Now, months later the truth of that research piece is now reaching mainstream America - but only those who happen to watch Fox news. Yesterday's piece in the Washington Times, by a well-known journalist draws from that original report. It is vital that this information now spread throughout the mainstream press- because it, ultimately exposes the true nature and connections and plans of the Obama campaign!

Go to the following links for one of many reprints of that original 3 Part Expose: "Obama the ODM Candidate for President." Be aware many video and document-verifying links in the full Article may no longer be available - because the Obama campaign has continued their ongoing Constitutional violations of scrubbing the Internet of public information on these facts. Even so, you will still get a clear picture of the overall, previously hidden facts. The American voting public needs to Wake Up and fast- to what Obama has planned if he succeeds - or if he doesn't success, through his disinformation campaign, in taking the White House.

HYMAN: Obama's Kenya ghosts
Mark Hyman
COMMENTARY:

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.

Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.

The details of the MOU were shocking. In return for Muslim backing, Mr. Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president. Among these were recognition of "Islam as the only true religion," Islamic leaders would have an "oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions [emphasis in original]," installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who "allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists," adoption of a women's dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.

This was not Mr. Odinga's first brush with notoriety. Like his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the main opposition leader in the 1960s and 1970s, Raila Odinga is a Marxist He graduated from East Germany's Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship provided by the East German government. He named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.

Raila Odinga was implicated in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s. The ethnic cleansing earlier this year was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt.

Mr. Odinga spent eight years in prison. At the time, he denied guilt but later detailed he was a coup leader in his 2006 biography. Statue of limitations precluded further prosecution when the biography appeared.

Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.
"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. Obama sent his foreign policy adviser Mark Lippert to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate his summer visit. Mr. Obama's August trip coincided with strategizing by Orange Democratic Movement leaders to defeat Mr. Kibaki in the upcoming elections. Mr. Odinga represented the ODM ticket in the presidential race.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama's father were both from the Luo community, the second-largest tribe in Kenya, but their ties run much deeper. Mr. Odinga told a stunned BBC Radio interviewer the reason why he and Mr. Obama were staying in near daily telephone contact was because they were cousins. In a Jan. 8, 2008, interview, Mr. Odinga said Mr. Obama had called him twice the day before while campaigning in the New Hampshire primary before adding, "Barack Obama's father is my maternal uncle."

President Kibaki requested a meeting of all opposition leaders in early January in an effort to quell the violence. All agreed to attend except Mr. Odinga. A month later, Mr. Kibaki offered Mr. Odinga the role of prime minister, the de facto No. 2 in the Kenyan government, in return for an end to the attacks. Mr. Odinga was sworn in on April 17, 2008.

Mr. Obama's judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Mr. Obama from maintaining disturbing loyalties.

The Issue with Ayers is that Barack Obama LIED

To me, the issue is trust, the issue is that Barack Obama is lying about his relationship with his neighborhood and fellow board member, Bill Ayers.

There have been so many issues that have been raised about Obama's honesty.

I have another problem with the fact that he won't release any information from his college years. What's to hide? Why can't we read his thesis? Who hides something like that if there's nothing inflammatory in it?

If you can't trust your President in the so-called "little things" how the heck do you trust him with the big things? Doesn't character matter anymore?

I wish someone would line up the things he's said in the past with what he's saying now and just show how he's done so many about-faces.

Sadly, I think we could prove he was an out and out liar and still half our country would vote for him.

Did you see that video of those school kids in fatigues pledging their allegiance to Obama and the doctrine of change? That is our future folks! Did you see the video of the school kids singing praises to Obama dressed in their light blue t-shirts? That is our future folks! Chairman Obama.

Anyone who compares Obama to a dictator, to Chavez, to Fidel Castro and their ilk is blasted, yet look at those videos and listen to the similarity of how dictators swayed the public to their side and Obama's speeches. It's not just dictators who do what Obama is doing, it's anyone who leads the masses through the rhetoric of empty promises.

Are we so easily led? Have character and integrity lost their meaning? Have we lost the ability to think independently?

Barack Obama is being shown to be a liar and yet he just brushes it off as though it's no big deal.

It's a big deal to me.

CNN Says Obama's Relationship with Bill Ayers is "Much Deeper" than Obama said!!! CNN!!!

"But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said." -- CNN's Drew Griffin

I can't believe CNN is actually reporting this...

Ohio and Florida

The Democrat Obamanitties are making a huge push in both states (among others). In Ohio they are using a law that allows absentee voters to register at the time they vote and they're going after college students. In Florida Bill Clinton is holding rallies and the Dem operatives are pushing to get everyone they can registered by October 6th (deadline).

Whatever state you're in, check to see what the voter registration rules are and if you have time before the deadline passes (if it hasn't already) get out there and register your kids friends, your neighbors and your church members. Get your friends to do the same!

I remember when I was college age and how easy it was to be swept up in the dynamics of whatever was considered cool. I thought I knew it all or at least I didn't exactly listen to anything outside my perceived cool range . You're spoon fed crap at that age and swallow it whole thinking you're changing the world for the better. A lot of these kids who are being swept into the Obama camp, smart as they are in some ways, are going to someday look back and realize they made a huge error in judgement. Hopefully they won't be looking back and regretting it because they made a difference and took the country to ruin by putting Obama in the White House.

I don't mean to sound like chicken-little, but with the country on the verge of nationalizing our financial markets giving power to Obama is about the worst thing I can imagine. We may as well tear up the Constitution if he gets elected.

On last night's debate

I was impressed with John McCain last night. He definitely held his own against Mr. So-Called-Smooth-Talking Barack Obama. Why anyone thinks Obama is a good speaker is beyond me! All those hesitations and "let me be clear's" distract the heck out of me. But then again, he really never seems to say anything of substance so I guess it doesn't matter that much.

All the pundits said Obama was going to come out swinging and try to make John McCain look bad. I think it backfired on Obama because he sure did look put off a number of times. He also never got the best of McCain!

Great debate and I'm glad Kissinger came out and said Obama was wrong when he tried to say he (Kissinger) had supported Obama's assertion that we should talk with terrorist nations without pre-conditions.

Did Obama get the date of the Depression wrong in the first part of the debate? I could have sworn he was off by ten years, but I haven't had a chance to go back and view it again. I guess if he did have the dates wrong that someone would have called him on it by now. No biggie if he did I guess, anyone can make a mistake like that.

Here's one funny I heard Thursday or Friday: Cynthia McKinney, the Green Party candidate for President, said she'd debate Barack Obama if John McCain didn't attend! I would love to have seen that one, wouldn't you? I think there would have been a shouting match before it was all over. But I'm sure Obama would have backed out if that's the way it went down. I liked the idea some floated of having Sarah Palin stand in for Senator McCain if he couldn't do it!

Team Sarah, Red State Feminists, Joe Biden and David Letterman

Team Sarah (.com) is a great new website and an easy way to meet other supporters of Sarah. I've been over looking around but haven't joined yet. I will.

There are some excellent sites cropping up in support of Sarah Palin all over the net. One of the new members on our network is the Red State Feminists (.org).

What are we all going to do after Sarah and John McCain win on November 4th? I think Sarah will need our support more than ever in the coming years. If we think the media is full of nasty now, wait until she's in office. There will be more bad jokes and stabs than ever I believe.

I am excited about her debate with Joe Bidenism. They are probably working so hard to try and keep him from adding to the list of Bidenisms that it will be impossible for him not to make another!

Did anyone see David Letterman Thursday night? Talk about being hot under the collar! I can't exactly blame him for being mad, but he did get a bit carried away. If I had invited someone to my show (or house) and they cancelled and told me they had to hop a plane, then I saw them talking to another show host (or at a friends party), I would be angry. I don't know why it was handled like that but I would imagine something changed at the last minute. Talking serious matters to a newscaster is a lot different than cracking jokes during a financial crisis, but a phone call to let Letterman know things had changed would have been a nice gesture.

I haven't read McCain's side of things, but having Letterman as an enemy is not good. Then again, when Letterman likes you it can be pretty darned uncomfortable, too. I've never cared for Letterman's politics or some of his humor, but he is someone who has a lot of followers who can be influenced by his comments.

On a roll tonight! Savage Savages Caller...

I'm not a big fan of Michael Savage. He's just a bit too, too, in your face for my tastes. This video is definitely in the "in your face" category but it so shows how ignorant and pied-piper blind some people are in their worship of Barack Obama. Logic out the door. Common sense follows.

McCain ad Jim Johnson

Democrats, do your patriotic duty. Send a check to the government.

I think Joe Biden has hit on something.

Since this is such a great patriotic thing to do, then all the Democrats who support Obama should just go ahead, line up, cut checks to the government and hand them over.

Why wait until Obama is elected (please no!) to do your patriotic duty? Patriotism has nothing to do with your Party. If you love your country you should not want to wait for Obama to take office! Show your support for Obama by sending your donations to the government rather than to Obama. Go ahead and figure out what your new tax rate will cost you and send it now.

If you don't want to send your money to the government then just find some folks you want to support and start sending them a monthly check. If enough people chose to follow Joe Biden's patriotic lead then we could do away with Welfare, homelessness and all that ails our country.

Oh wait, did I hear that Joe Biden gives next to nothing to charity? Does Joe Biden send money to the government or does he take it from the government?

I watched Joe Biden when he tried to make paying taxes a patriotic duty. Giving more money to politicians to spend on bridges to nowhere is patriotic? Give me a break. Although I'm not in the tax bracket he was referring to I'm intelligent enough to know that if my boss takes a tax hit then my next raise is toast and maybe my benefits will get cut or something similar. No one voluntarily hands over money to the government.

There is nothing patriotic about giving hard earned money to the government. If they would cut their spending we could cut taxes!



I accidentally spelled patriotic "partiotic". Ya know what Google's spell check picks for first choice substitution? Pathetic. Do you think someone on the Blogger / Google staff is trying to send a message? How does one transposed letter trigger the word pathetic? Not close enough guys.
