CNN Just Called It! Barack is President of The United States of America!

It is official...Barack Obama is the President Elect of the United States of America...CNN officially called the race at 11 PM when the West Coast polls officially closed!

BAM,,,Obama STeam Roller Coming On

CNN calls EIGHT STATES FOR OBAMA



Maine 3

Delaware

Connecticut

Maryland

District of Columbia

Massachusetts

Illinois

Obama is winning BIG TIME in Florida, and changing the Demographics! I am almost ready to call Florida for Obama!

South Carolina For McCain...Up 21-3 on Electoral Map!

So far, the rednecks are ruling the early poll results as McCain grabs early Electoral lead of 21-3! Sure almost every Democrat is holding their breath as we wait for the Pennsylvania results start to roll in!

Going out on a limb here, and I am going to call Indiana for Obama in a late night squeaker! No surprise, CNN has just called South Carolina for John McCain.

First North Carolina Numbers IN!

Early Favorite is Obama with a very small lead. Florida is fixed, and Obama is LEADING. Obama is also leading the NATIONAL VOTE! In more good news, Obama is again tightening in Indiana! McCain's lead there trimmed from five to three percent! IF the Florida numbers as they now are stay contant, the RACE IS OVER.

Obama Dumps Major Media Off Plane To Make Room For BLACK MEDIA?

When I first read the story on FOX News about certain papers who had endorsed McCain being dumped from the plane, did not think it much of a story...UNTIL I READ these MAJOR PAPERS (Washington Times) were supposedly dumped from the plane's last few days of travel to make room, according to the Drudge Report, for Corporate Big Wigs and reporters for two black publications, Essence and Jet. According to the article on the FOX News site, mainstream media is being DUMPED FROM THE PLANE to give unfair access to Chicago Journalists, and publications aimed only at the black population of America. The Obama Campaign says some tough decisions were made to help them reach more SWING VOTERS...with all due respect, do not think putting journalists from Essence and Jet on the plane are going to help Obama reach SWING VOTERS, do not think putting more Chicago area journalists on the plane is going to help Obama reach more swing voters.

No offense, but isn't Barack Obama supposed to be everyone's candidate, and if elected, everyone's president? Not saying this report is true, and in fact the Obama Campaign's New York press office is categorically denying it, has said that all these news sources are represented on the plane and that the story is NOT TRUE. I just want the truth...it would not be surprising to see The Drudge Report or Fox News spread untruths, and if this is the case, they should be called on it. On the other hand, if the story is true, it does raise some very troubling questions. I don't think any one wants a White House that is going to grant special access to a group of people based on the color of their skin, do not think any one is interested in four years of reverse racism hidden under a carefully crafted Veneer as the Obama White House denies whites access to our government, and to our President. It is for this reason, that Obama needs to address this story that has leaked out into mainstream media, needs to nip it in the bud by coming forth with the truth. Pushing the story aside with a flimsy excuse that does not pass the smell test is not adequate. Have reporters from major papers that endorced McCain been removed from the Obama Campaign Plane, and their seats given to reporters from Essense and Jet Magazine? Let's rephrase that...were reporters seats on the Obama plane taken away, and if so were those reporters from Press/News sites/publications that endorsed McCain? Secondly, were additional seats or new seats given to Chicago news reporters, and staff/journalists from Essence and/or Jet (Ebony Jet) magazines?

Journalists from three major newspapers that endorsed John McCain have been booted from Barack Obama's campaign plane for the final leg of the presidential race.

The Washington Times reported Friday that it was notified of the Obama campaign's decision Thursday evening -- even though the paper has covered Obama from the start.

Executive Editor John Solomon told FOXNews.com that the Obama campaign said it didn't have enough seats on the plane, but "I don't think the explanation makes sense to us."

"We've been traveling since 2007 with him. ... We're a relevant newspaper -- every day we break news," Solomon said. "And to suddenly be kicked off the plane for people who haven't covered it as aggressively or thoroughly as we are ... it sort of feels unfair."

He said the newspaper protested but was turned down again by the campaign.

"I can only hope that the candidate who describes himself as wanting to unite the nation doesn't have some sort of litmus test for who he decides gets to cover the campaign," Solomon said, noting that the Obama campaign's decision came just two days after the paper endorsed McCain.

The New York Post and Dallas Morning News also have been kicked off Obama's plane.

According to the Web site The Drudge Report, the three newspapers' reporters were told to find alternative transportation by Sunday so that the plane could accommodate "network bigwigs" and reporters from two black magazines, Essence and Jet.

Also joining up with the Obama campaign are the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. According to the campaign, the decision to shuffle around reporters was made because they did not want to add a second plane.

"Unfortunately, demand for seats on the plane during this final weekend has far exceeded supply, and because of logistical issues we made the decision not to add a second plane. This means we've had to make hard and unpleasant for all concerned decisions about limiting some news organizations and in some cases not being in a position to offer space to news organizations altogether," Obama senior adviser Anita Dunn said in a written statement.

Watch The Spin Carefully on Troopergate!

Found and interesting small article over on the PXY 106 web site on the whole Sarah Palin Troopergate story. It clearly shows you how the McCain Campaign handlers for loose cannon Sarah Palin are trying to spin her guilt. Two sentences tell it all:

1. "If you read the report, you will see that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a Cabinet member," Palin said.

This is not exactly what the report says, but we'll give it to her. The investigator did say that a MAJOR contributing cause of Monehan's termination was his refusal to terminate Mike Wooten. So technically, Sarah Palin did not break the law here...she just showed us that she is a mean spirited vindictive bitch.

2. CNN said attorneys representing Palin contend such violations are only applicable to financial motives.

If you disagree with a law, or if it could snare your client, disagree with its interpretation, thus setting up a fight that could only be resolved with a trip to the Supreme Court...we all know that is not going to happen, and so do Sarah Palin's handlers. She is trying to slice the apple differently, reshape reality, and distract you with a classic bait and switch red herring. Bottom line is clear to any one that has two brain cells too rub together. Sarah Palin violated Alaska laws and statutes, committed the most egregious of Ethics Violations, "Abuse of Power".

Terrorist Attack Pakistan-Bomb Goes off in Islamabad

If we listen to John McCain, we are winning the terrorist war by leaving our troops in Iraq...meanwhile, another terrorist attack has rocked Pakistan as radical terrorists theaten to tear the nation apart at the seams.

Pakistan lawmakers receive briefing on terror war

Originally published 03:09 a.m., October 9, 2008, updated 02:52 a.m., October 9, 2008

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (AP) - Pakistani lawmakers gathered Thursday for the question-and-answer portion of a rare private briefing from military officials about the domestic threat posed by al-Qaida and Taliban militants entrenched in regions bordering Afghanistan.

The young civilian government called the joint Parliament session in an effort to build a national consensus on the Muslim nation's role in the U.S.-led war on terror.

Many in Pakistan believe the alliance with the U.S. has increased violence in their nuclear-armed country. The U.S. has shown impatience with Pakistan by launching cross-border missile strikes against militant hide-outs in the country's northwest, where al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is rumored to be hiding.

Dow Down Almost 500 Points! It's The Economy STUPID

The BLOOD BATH continues on Wall Street as McCain and Palin toss red herrings to the crowd out on the Campaign trail. Hello, the DOW is significantly below 10,000, the DOW is far below where it was when George W. Bush took office eight years ago. John McCain has voted with the George W. Bush Administration 93 percent of the time in those EIGHT YEARS. Ask yourselves America, "Are you better off now than when George W. Bush took office?" Ask yourselves America, "Do you really want four more years of the George W. Bush economic agenda? Can you afford four more years of the George W. Bush economic agenda?"

In the mean time, how many Americans understand that the FED has actually implemented today a SECOND WALL STREET BAILOUT, completely separate from the first? If they are wrong, your money IS WORTHLESS, your savings is WORTHLESS, your 401 K's are WORTHLESS, and you will be saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt as your share of these two bailouts!

Todd and Sarah Palin...TAX DODGERS

Some REALLY BIG HITTERS are coming right out and saying the Palin's owe back taxes, and penalties and interest and FINES...let's not forget those FINES! Read all about it!

Tax Profs Agree: Gov. Palin's Tax Returns Are Wrong

Jack Bogdanski (Lewis & Clark) & Bryan Camp (Texas Tech) have independently reviewed the tax issues raised by the release of Gov. Palin's 2006 and 2007 tax returns and financial disclosure form, as well as the remarkable opinion letter issued from Washington D.C. tax lawyer Roger M. Olsen. Jack and Bryan conclude that there are serious errors in Gov. Palin's returns as filed and that she and her husband owe tens of thousands of dollars in additional taxes.

Jack Bogdanski, There's No Debate: Palins Owe Thousands in Back Taxes:

There is no serious debate (at least, none that has been brought to our attention) about the fact that at least the amounts paid for the children's travel -- $24,728.83 in 2007, according to the Washington Post -- are taxable. The campaign's tax lawyer has got at least that much of the law, and perhaps more, wrong. ... The Palins, who had their tax returns done by HR Block, simply got it wrong. And the fact that the state payroll office got it wrong, too, doesn't erase the Palins' unpaid tax liability.

Bryan Camp, A Brief Analysis of Governor Palin's Tax Returns for 2006 and 2007:

The release of an opinion letter by attorney Roger M. Olsen dated September 30, 2008, has stirred up the pot once again about the accuracy of Sarah and Todd Palin’s 2006 and 2007 tax returns. Not only that, but Mr. Olsen’s letter raises a couple of new issues.

Tonight's Presidential Debate-Pre Game Thoughts

McCain's back is UP AGAINST THE WALL with all indicators showing a campaign taking on water in a Titanic like fashion, so look for John to be looking for chances to deliver a few staggering blows on Barrack. Problem is, the rules of the debate make it A) not really a debate as there are NO FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS by the audience or Tom Brokaw. Further, the audience member is not allowed to make comments on the answer recieved, nor will there be shots of the audience member's reaction to the answer he recieved. Further, I am guessing the questions will be pretty boring, standard fare questions that we always see in these moderated Town Hall type of events.

Obama has to be careful to hold his own...a tie is as good as a win for him, a win for Obama could be the final nail in McCain's campaign coffin. Every poll, both national and in battleground states shows Obama gaining steam and pulling ahead. In both Florida and Ohio (the two KEY battleground states) Obama is winning, and the news of John McCain wanting to pay for health care services by cutting Medicare by some $1.1 Trillion is NOT going to sit well with Florida voters...if Obama wins either of those states, the time has come for the fat lady to sing. You cannot win the White House when the opposing side is playing his game on your court.

Short of one of both candidates blowing right past the rules (unlikely), look for a faily tame night with one caveat...it is possible to see John McCain implode and lash out in anger.

Some More Palin Bloopers

Live In Tampa Florida? Go Protest At The Staged Sarah Palin Event!

Living in New York, we GET NO ATTENTION from the candidates, have little opportunity to express our views, or our frustrations. In fact, most of the phone parties around here have us calling into other states. You folks in Florida on the other hand are getting a LOT of attention from the candidates being a swing state...problem is, the McCain campaign likes to stage its events, keep dissenting voices as far from the event as possible. Well, if you want to grab your protest signs, and anti-Sarah THE MOOSE KILLER Palin gear, Sarah Palin is going to appear in Clearwater this upcoming Monday! The event is scheduled to take place in Coachman Park, and I would encourage you to be there...Maybe you can get Sarah Palin to answer questions, rather than dance around them. Besides, you know the news cameras are going to be there, and looking for something to cover since Sarah will not talk to them either.

Going to Palin rally Monday? Event details here

Friday, October 3, 2008

---

Sarah Palin will hold a rally in Clearwater on Monday.

PINELLAS COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- Tickets to a Sarah Palin rally in Clearwater Monday were released Thursday afternoon.

Debra Buschman got six tickets for her family.

"Because it's a first I guess, having a VP who might be a woman and I have three girls I thought they might enjoy her speak," she said.

Preparations are already underway at Coachman Park in Clearwater where Palin will have a rally on Monday. Twenty thousand tickets were printed.

Scott Johnson showed up to get one.

"I'm excited about the excitement Sarah Palin brings to the race," he said. "It was pretty boring before that."

In Fighting In McCain Camp, Or More Political Chicanery

So, less than 24 hours after McCain walks away from Michigan and its voters, the buzz is all about Palin disagreeing with the decision, wanting permission to RUN BACK IN AND SAVE THE DAY! There are only two possibilties...A) Palin does not know her place, and there is a serious riff developing in Camp McCain, or B) This was Camp McCain's plan all along, a way to shake things up, try to use Palin to run in and steal the state away from Obama in an end around run when the Obama Campaign lets their guard down. My guess is the later. This is another feeble attempt at a HAIL MARY PASS late in the forth quarter when he is down by 17 points and time running out. Look for a lot of Camp McCain trick plays and gimmicks in the closing weeks of the campaign...up next, a name Willow's child fund raising lottery?

Palin disagrees with McCain's Michigan decision

Posted: 06:27 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

Palin wants to keep trying in Michigan.

(CNN) – The McCain campaign decided this week that the battleground state of Michigan may be out of reach for the Republican ticket this year — a move that's drawn criticism from one prominent dissenter: VP nominee Sarah Palin.

Earlier: McCain cedes Michigan to Obama

In an interview with Fox News Friday the Republican vice presidential candidate appeared to be disappointed with the decision and said she still wants to take a stab at wining the state that hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate in two decades.

She also said she made her disagreement known to top campaign officials:

"I fired a quick e-mail and said, 'oh, come on! Do we have to call it there?' she said. " Todd and I would [be] happy to get to Michigan and walk through those plants [with] car manufacturers.

"We'd be so happy to get to speak with the people there in Michigan, who are hurting because the economy is hurting," she added. "Whatever we can do and whatever Todd and I can do in realizing what their challenges in that state are, as we can relate to them and connect with them and promise them that we won't let them down in the administration."

My Open Letter To George Bush

Dear George Bush:

Thank you for ruining America, for destroying our economy, for allowing American Families on Main Street to suffer during your administration, and for decades to come. At every step, you worked to destroy Middle America, from your wrongful stance on Illegal Aliens, tax cuts for the UBER rich, to your wrongful decision to invade Iraq, you have done your best to make the American Lower and Middle Class pay for your one sited vision. I like many Americans count the days until you leave office, and I would beg you, beseech you to give serious consideration today to tendering your resignation effective immediately. You are not worthy of the highest office in America, have shown yourself to be the worst President in the history of the United States of America. It is time you follow in the steps of Donald Rumsfield, and leave office for the good of the nation.

Respectfully Submitted,

The TRITE RESPONSE:

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.

We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.

Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House cannot respond to every message.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

Americans...Take Back The Media, Stop The Propaganda

Today is a sad day in American history, and there is plenty of blame to go around. That being said, a BIG PART of the blame needs to be firmly placed on the National Media who acts like the mouth piece fo Washington DC, and Corporate America. I would encourage ALL OF YOU to write your news media, tell them that you are tired of them reporting the news that Washington DC and Corporate America want us to here. Tell them to stop bringing on pundits who try to tell us WHAT WE SHOULD THINK. Demand that our National Media gets back to reporting the news devoid of spin, devoid of bigger agendas. We want the straight talk, regardless of who might or might not take out ad space depending on what you say, or do not say. Below is an extensive list of PRESS CONTACTS...I encourage EVERY AMERICAN to use them. The time has come for Main Street to speak out.

Wave of House converts jump aboard bailout bill

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
Ass

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A wave of House converts jumped aboard the $700 billion financial industry bailout Thursday on the eve of a make-or-break second vote, as lawmakers responded to an awakening among voters to the pain ahead of them if stability isn't restored to the tottering economy.

Black lawmakers said personal calls from Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama helped switch them from "no" to "yes." Republicans and Democrats alike said appeals from credit-starved small businessmen and the Senate's addition of $110 billion in tax breaks had persuaded them to drop their opposition.

"I hate it," but "inaction to me is a greater danger to our country than this bill," said GOP Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee, one of the 133 House Republicans who joined 95 Democrats in rejecting the measure Monday, sending the stock market plummeting.

The MOMENT OF THE DEBATE

Joe Biden the man, Joe Biden the father, Joe Biden for a brief second showing us his heart, his pain, his emotions and love. WOW...seeing him almost tear up talking about it is the DEBATE, is what life and politics should be about!

Foreign Policy...Iraq War

Maybe now we will see some blood....

Sarah Palin is now out of her leaque, and does not have answers.

She just STUTTERED...White Flag of surrender! WHAT A PLATITUDE! She has NOT GIVEN A EXIT STRATEGY, but instead says Iraq will tell us when the time to leave is. Is she saying that our troops are under the control of Iraq's government?

Sarah may be crumbling! She is getting a scowl on her face, and showing some ANGER.

Now on to Iraq! Which is more dangerous, Afghanistan or a nuclear Iraq. Biden points out that Pakistan is already a nuclear power. States both situations could be game changers.

Shaking HEAD...Sarah Palin just blew right by the question asked. She is throwing down the gaunlet of CHALLENGE to Iran...the woman is DANGEROUS, seems to lack any ability towards diplomacy. Further...rewind the tape...she just said Iran could not be allowed to have Nuclear Bombs OR NUCLEAR ENERGY...that last statement goes against the entire GNEP policy!
