Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Barack Obama made a national appeal to voters tonight in the closing days of the presidential race with a 30-minute campaign ad that emphasized the struggles of working class Americans and offered broad brush pledges to reform education, health care, and energy independence, as well as end the war in Iraq and keep America secure.

I can't wait to miss it.
Hasn't he insulted America enough already?

The first big prime time political ad buy in 16 years will be on two credible networks in the US and FOX as well as some spanish speaking network that Spud doesn't get.

Obama will finish out the night by appearing live on sattellite on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Sounds like Obama FTW to Spud.

But Grampy McPoopypants aint throwing in his crying towel just yet.

www.boston.com

McCain hammers on the "inexperience" issue despite having shot himself in the foot on that one by choosing Scary Failin as his running mate.

Obama's counter ad to that one is kinda interesting.

Barack hoists McAncient on the petard of his own words.

"I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." Wall Street Journal, 11/26/05

"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." Boston Globe Political Intelligence, 12/18/07

"I might have to rely on a vice president that I select" for expertise on economic issues. GOP Debate, 11/28/07

The ad closes with a reference to Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate who polls show has raised questions about McCain's judgment.

"His choice?" it says on screen, with an image of Palin winking.

"On November 4th, You Get to Make Yours."

LOL!

G08ama!

Be Well.

Hasn't he insulted America enough already?

~Salmongator

Hasn't McCain insulted America's intelligence enuff?

No, apparently he's just getting started.

Spud turned on the squawkbox this AM and literally the first thing Spud sees is McBush stumpin' it in FLA and the crowd is yelling..

"Use yer brain, Vote McCain".

Spud is LOL!

Spud sees quite clearly that McCain's message has no traction wotsoever amongst people with even a room temperature IQ which is precisely why he largely choses to take his stump speech fulla smears, misinformation, outright fabrications, and obvious idiocy to wot Spud has taken to calling "REALly dumb AMERICA".

There's no logic wotsoever to his stump speech by this point. It purely a bunch of emotionally charged, meaningless, gibberish that he knows his braindead base will react to like trained seals.

Spud felt like yelling back at the tv.

"Vote McCain?
Are you insane?"

Look at the postage of the folks who come to blogworld and try to stick up fer McCan't.

Bitter invective and vitriol wrapped around a few long discredited sound bites most of which are not even memorised properly.

Slimingator is a case in point.

Be Well.

"Obama Half Hour Ad Speaks to Everyman"

Will there be a separate ad for us "sweeties"?

"Will there be a separate ad for us "sweeties"?"

Sorry he hates women. He finds they are harder to buy.

" It purely a bunch of emotionally charged, meaningless, gibberish that he knows his braindead base will react to like trained seals."

Seriously?
Your not going to note the irony coming from an obama supporter?

Lets take bets on the income level that will receive a tax cut. Current odds:

250k 100000-1
200k 50-1
150k 25-1
100k 2-1
50k 100-1

Place your bets....

mccain sux
the fool me thrice category

How about $600K? That's my concern.

"Lets take bets on the income level that will receive a tax cut. "

Over what time horizon?

I wonder if George Foreman will be selling grills on a split screen. Or maybe Tom Vu will resurface. "I a busboy who come here with no money and now make it rich. You too can have big boat and car..."

"Will there be a separate ad for us "sweeties"?"

You betcha! But only as long as you're from one of those anti-America big cities and don't like to drop 150 grand at Nieman-Marcus. It'll be in HD if you haven't actually been found to have committed an ethics violation in the last 30 days.

Sorry sarah, you'll have to stand in font of the mirror, saying "I'm fer sure Madame President and Todd's my First Dude. The Old Navy guy is my butler."

How about $600K? That's my concern.

Be Well.

Rush's prebutal for this fiasco was outstanding - if it is the bag, why all the campaigning????

Watch this thing go down to the wire -

elcid

barack has been consistent on the 250k number

biden didn't say upto 150

he just said as an example
150k would get a cut
but you can take it the way they feed you it.

Mcadaver's campaign is countering this by offering a 30 minute smoke signalathon Sunday Night, and promises not to interfere with the scheduled cribbage playoffs.

I heard he had approached Western Union to see if he could get a quantity discount on telegrams, but was stunned to learn they didn't do that anymore.

Rush's prebutal for this fiasco was outstanding - if it is the bag, why all the campaigning????

Rush is an idiot. The only people who are saying "it's in the bag" are counting chickens before they're hatched.

Obama isn't saying "okay, there's 6 days to Election Day but I've won." It would be hilariously stupid for any politician. Rush just wants to do what he does all the time, which is insult Democrats.

So again: Rush is an idiot.

barack has been consistent on the 250k number

he has a new ad out claiming 200k now. Ignoring bidens "gaffe".

Is this really necessary? Is he going to say anything he hasn't already said? I heard a story on NPR this morning about how Obama unveiled a "new" stump speech that is essentially a "closing argument" for his campaign. They played a clip and it was EXACTLY the same shit he has been saying for months, linking McCain to Bush and saying America cannot afford 4 more years of that. Again - is this necessary?

"Again - is this necessary?"

It depends. Wanna call the election now?

I've found a way to make money off of Liberals. Buy stock in Jergens before the airing tonight.

Hopefully Jack Lalime, Tony Little and Ron Popeil will make guest appearances.

Obama Half Hour Ad Speaks to Everyman

~Spud's original headline.

Will there be a separate ad for us "sweeties"?

~Phoenix

Sorry he hates women.

~Slimygaper

Actually, all due apologies to Phoenix (who really is a sweetie in Spud's Big Book of Sweeties) as you can see the blog-god has taken that dude-o-centric headline and improved upon it.

Slimy? You say Obama hates women?

Has Obama ever called his wife a "trollope" and a "cunt" like John McCoont has?

Did Obama ditch his first wife because she was no longer as pretty as she had once been? Did he serially screw around her? Did he guilt her into accepting his transgression before gold digging himself a trophy wife who's family's money he used to launch his political career like McTaint did? Did he screw around on his second wife with a look alike lobbyist?

No, that's right, unlike John McMisogynist, Barack Obama has only one house and one spouse that he obviously loves very much and by whom he's had two sweet little girls.

Unlike Sarah Palin using poor Trig like a prop, Obama has kept his kids largely out of the spotlight and in school.

Speaking of Sarah Palin did you know she belongs to a group called "Feminists fer Life" who believe that most forms of birth control equal abortion and who don't believe in allowing abortions even if a women's health is endangered, or in the case of incest or rape?

That she charged women and/or their healthcare provider fer their own rape kits while Governor of AK?

Did you know that McLame's cynical pick of Sarah Palin, instead of capturing the Clinton vote has only turned them off in droves?

That her dangerous, extemist, rightwingnut anti-woman policies have also had a similar effect on moderates and independents?

Well, if you didn't know before, now you do.

No need to thank Spud.

Is Spud's pleasure. Laws yes!

G08ama!

Be Well.

"Again - is this necessary?

#21 | Posted by JOE at 2008-10-29 03:20 PM | "

What a dumb question. It's impossible to answer.

Should a candidate that has the resources do it?

Definitely.

Would McCain or Bob Barr do the same if they had the resources?

Of course.

Any other stupid questions?

Rush's prebutal for this fiasco was outstanding - if it is the bag, why all the campaigning????

Yes, every good athlete knows that you should slow down before you cross the goal line.

Kinger's right, Rush is an idiot.

El Sidney can estimate his tax here.... if they have enough "0"'s on the form...

www.drudge.com

You Rush-haters are right, he is an idiot - a $450m idiot with a listenership of 10m+ per week - you must be getting a bit panicky given that this could swing to McCain at the death - the Marxist truths are hurting BO and now the LA Times tape - woooooo it must be scary in Libland..

- Ron Popeil will make guest appearances.

I understand that Obama will be demonstrating a new version of the old SNL Bass-O-Matic...

using a well-lipsticked pig, instead.

woooooo it must be scary in Libland

~Taxi

Wow, have you got that one back-asswards.

Fearmongering with lies is the exclusive preserve of the Rtards.

McCan't's entire campaign is based on trying to scare low-info voters into voting fer him cos of lies that Obama is a "Marxist/ Commununist/ Socialist/ Secret Muslim/ Secret Arab/ Not born in America/ too black/ radical/ extremist/ uber liberal"

He even hired the same racist assholes that sank him in 2000 with race baiting push polls to do his dirty work for him this time.

Obama talks about hope and change and belief in the possiblities of America.

Obama talks positively about the real need for real change which is only gonna happen if America gets over it's divisive political rhetoric and works together to get useful things done.

Face it, Rtards are fools and cowards.

Pseudo-patriots and pseudo-Christians.

Smart folks and brave folks and moral folk are for Obama.

Be Well.

Obama talks America down, koolaid drinker DETHSPUD - he talks welfare and hatred of success - he is a Marxist plain and simple, no scaremongering just plain facts my friend -

www.truveo.com

And why isn't McSame running an infomercial....cuz the more America sees him the lower his poll numbers go. His best strategy at this point would be to go home and sit quietly til it's over.

politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com

Me? I am taking Obama's advice to turn off the TV and make calls, knock on doors.

KBM-call this guy. He'll listen:

Big campaign donors typically come with deep pockets and influence. But in Illinois this election cycle, no one not running for office himself has given more to the nation's federal campaigns than Shi Sheng Hao, a virtual unknown in business and political circles.

Before September 2007, Hao's name had never appeared in the 15-year-old federal database of campaign contributors. Since then, however, his donations have topped $120,000 - including $70,100 on a single June day to Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Over the same time frame, a network of Hao relatives has kicked in more. The take from this group over the last 13 months exceeds $269,000, most of it to McCain and the Republican National Committee, records show.

Hao didn't register to vote at the north-west suburban address attached to his donations until October 2007, a month after he wrote his first political check, $25,000 to the RNC.

The circumstances surrounding Hao's sudden and prolific political activism are curious and his whereabouts unclear. His name isn't listed on property records or the mailbox at the unassuming tract home listed on his donations. Hao lives "overseas", insisted a man who answered the door at the Roselle home recently. The man declined to identify himself.

~Corky

Whaa?!

"Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? If you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have."

Replace ""four" with "eight" and you have an excellent argument against McBush.

From a former Reaganite to boot!

Oh sweet, sweet bird of truth.

Good eye, Corky!

Also yer "Mystery Donor" find was an eye opener.

And when Spud sez "eye opener" you know he means it.

I took your advice to heart and cleaned out the local grocery stores of Al foil and am now making a BUNDLE!

But then again, I live in a VERY RED county in a RED state.

Thannks much!

Obama broke his promise on public financing, tricked McCain, received tons of moeny from dubious sources, and will be buying air time tonight to impress America.

Plenty of empty air!

But its not over yet. I would like to see the polls on the evening of November 3. Only then I will have a better idea who will be the next President.

If Obama is elected, then the liberal media will be the loser --- they will not be forgiven for years to come.

Personally, I still believe McCain will win!

"But its not over yet. I would like to see the polls on the evening of November 3. Only then I will have a better idea who will be the next President."

Too risky. Better wait til the evening of November 4 (or November 5?) if you REALLY want to have a better idea ;-)!

snowjob's poor aunt living in a slum...

Yawn...

Hope he does better then Carter did in 1980, which shouldn't be too hard to do.

Although I too wonder why he is doing it, given that Obama seems to be cruising to victory. Seems to me that this can only hurt him, not help.

I usually don't respond to all this squishy stuff in the infomercial, but Obama had the same experience I had, watching my dying mother argue with an HMO from her hospital bed.

I took 'em for motorized chairs and everything else I could after I figured out how to work them.

As if spending as much as the rest of the world combined wasn't enough.

My that Obama sure comes across as an evil, un-American Commie Marxist pinko fag, doesn't he?

Good move ending live in Florida.

No..he is a slick, slimy, smooth talking vacuum salesman. Who (and we all know it) is using good ole fashioned liberal tactics to cover reparations. My Brothers who are conservative, yes all 4 of them live near to me, Say the same thing i heard yesterday. That blacks don't consider what Obama speaks of as "socialism" they just think he is going to take money from whites ad give it to them..Which he will, but using the tax code

FOX is running a Bill Ayers story, lmfao

The polls are going through the roof. He clinched it tonight.

Unfortunately you lefties missed anawesome O'Reilly Factor with Both Karl Rove and Dick Morris..It was like being a double showcase winner on the Price is Right

One suppose that the local Hill William jihadist prefers the last 8 years of Repube incompetence and shit-eating grins?

Bill Ayers 65 years old and wearing an earring..Talk about low self-esteem, perhaps his momma didn't love him enough

the fact that the Dems could nominated a Chia pet fer this election and it woulda gotten more votes.......

I thought so, too. but it was well done. nicely produced. maybe a little over-the-top with the "tell me how to feel" music, but that shit sells.

Did he turn the water into wine yet?

McCain is Bush, economically. Obama is Clinton, economically.

That isn't really a hard choice for most people, those who aren't more idealogue than realist.

Did he turn the water into wine yet?

No, but the lettuce appears to have turned into arugula.

Seems to me that this can only hurt him, not help.

I think it was worth the risk, because it (a) gives the media two days to talk about it, giving McCain that much less time in the closing days, and (b) helps close the deal with more undecideds. If overexposure to ads hurt candidates, they wouldn't run so many ads.

The 30 minute ad shows him to be a completely different person than the McCain ads portray him to be.

It makes the GOP fear-mongering and name-calling look more absurd.

agree, cork. what, if any, ammunition did he give McCain? not much, I don't think, other than the shift from 250 to 200k

Fortunately Clinton had a republican congress which forced Welfare reform and slow spending, and I admit Under Bush the congress went nuts and hurt us all..But if you think Obama with Pelosi and Reid is gonna be anything like Clinton, You know you're fooling only yourself

And that is why we need divided governement

The 30 minute ad shows him to be a completely different person than the McCain ads portray him to be.

Agreed. Guggenheim did an excellent job.

It makes the GOP fear-mongering and name-calling look more absurd

Speaking of which Spud just saw Scary Failin talking at one of her Nuremberg rallies trying to assert that Khalidi was a "PLO Spokesman"

As brainless as she is shameless.

Typical Rtard Rovian tactic. Take a kernel of truth, wrap it in turd, then throw it at yer opponent.

Aint Americans getting tired of this kind of deliberate diviseness?

These continual lies and fearmongering?

Time to reject the politics of fear and division.

Time to embrace the politics of hope and unity.

Time fer Barack Obama to be elected POTUS.

No, you Rtard.

Obama is gonna restore the Constitution to it's rightful place.

Unlike Dumbya and Cheney he's gonna do his job.

When Obama sez...

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He's gonna mean it.

Time to make yer O-face, Rtard.

I think it is because he has no clue on the issues.

Frank,

I have ZERO problem with Obama's infomercial.

He raised the money and bought the time-slot.

How do you feel about the "Fairness Doctrine"?

If you favor it you do realize that McCain is entitled, by doctrine, to an equal rebuttal - on our public airwaves.

Is McCain getting hosed, or is this "fair" as Obama has legitimately raised the funds to pay for this piece of propaganda?

"If you favor it you do realize that McCain is entitled, by doctrine, to an equal rebuttal - on our public airwaves."

And if it's like anything in the Fairness Doctrine past, the "equal time" will be provided sometime around 2 or 3 am.

Lord - please let there be a rerun of h.r. puffnstuff on...

No, but after the news FOX is running a Plain info mercial-roasting moosemeat on a burning cross while not getting grease on your $3000 dress.

###
As for the Fairness Doctrine, Mcadaver, the public trough welfare queen, doesn't get equal time unless Cindi pays for it. See, the Democratic candidate went out into the market and bought the time.

I am a McCain supporter, but not sure why you'd say "jealous."

Maybe jealous that when I was a communist, 19 years old, and a Clinton supporter that Obama wasn't the candidate.

MLK was/is one of my heroes.
To think that a black man COULD (but probably *won't*) be President in 2008 IS inspiring.

Why couldn't you Dems pick a black man who WASN'T *the most liberal* senator?

Obama doesn't inspire--just more government--that doesn't inspire hope in me.

How do you feel about the "Fairness Doctrine"?

#115 | Posted by JeffJ

Did the Fairness Doctrine require equal time in political advertizing? I don't recall that it did, but I could be wrong. Do you have any evidence that McCain would be "entitled, by doctrine, to an equal rebuttal"?

Regardless, today the Fairness Doctrine is not in effect, and candidates may spend their campaign cash as they wish, within the rules.

I thought it was a well done commercial. His infomercial did not attack the opposition but rather, it attempted to sell Obama's position on the issues. Well played.

Weird McCain commercial yet: Obama's not ready...yet.

You mean he will be ready 4 years from now? Despite the fact that he is a Marxist/socialist who "pals around with terrorists"?

I wonder how many average voters (not-political junkies like us) out there sat down and clicked around and said "What the hell is this crap?"

They most likely wondered, like Barry's own daughter did, "Are you going to interrupt my TV?"

With all the socialist talk and the "punishment" of Joe the plumber, people are going to wonder if this is a glimpse of things to come.

Seems like a risky move.

Dethspud and Nullifidian PWNED all you Neocon bitches on this thread.

Do play again in 2012.

Weird McCain commercial yet: Obama's not ready...yet. You mean he will be ready 4 years from now?

Actually, McCain means he'll be ready on Nov. 11. But then it will be too late! Bwah ha ha!

I'm John McCain and I approved this message.

MLK was/is one of my heroes.

They called MLK a Communist agitator in his day.

Obama's not the most liberal senator. That's a trick the National Journal played on Kerry four years ago -- the Democratic nominee is always the most liberal. There are plenty of Democratic senators more liberal, starting with Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingold.

I can't seem to find the 30 minute add, does anyone know where I can view it.

You can watch it here, Money...

www.huffingtonpost.com

$war,

I think this is all but the live part.

www.youtube.com

"Why couldn't you Dems pick a black man who WASN'T *the most liberal* senator?"

Probably because the metric was skewed. Or did you actually believe John Kerry was the "most liberal" four years ago? It seems the bar was "how did Obama vote", and that was determined to be the "most liberal" position. It's like they never heard of Russ Feingold.

" the "punishment" of Joe the plumber,"

Leave it to Republicans to believe the truth is punishment.

Turns out Harry was right.

"-just more government--that doesn't inspire hope in me."

Where've you been for the last 8 years, as Bush grew the government more than any Democrat's wet dream?

I would rather watch ghey, crippled rats, mate then see Hussein spout his socialist nonsense.

Didn't watch it, wouldn't watch it but I wonder...

Did he mention his Aunt Zeituni who lives in a slum a few blocks from Harvard, where he went to college?

Or his uncle Omar who is now homeless since he was evicted from his one bedroom apartment in Dorchester after losing his job and falling 2,400 behind in his rent?

He sure talked a lot about them in his Autobiography... but funny how he hasn't lifted a finger to help ANY of his African family...

Half-Brother George who used to spend weekends with Aunt Zeituni and now lives in a tin shack earning a dollar a month...

His Step mother who has to use an outhouse for her bathroom duties...

Aunt Zeituni who was a computer programmer in Kenya but now lives in a run down housing poroject working six hours a week yet still scraped together enough to donate $260 to NOBama's campaign... and he is such a low life that he actually took her money...

And Uncle Omar who was beaten with a sawed off shotgun when he owed a convenience store in Dorcchester by two masked Black men and since then has been unable to work and is now homeless...

While NOBama lives in a multimillion dollar mansion and flys in a Boing 767 just to visit his White Grandma who he thinks won't live until election day but he DOESN'T even bother to take his daughters or wife (which I can understand since she hates White people anyway) to see her for what may be the last time before she dies...

Yes, NOBama... a man to admire... Right...

Thanks guys, it was pretty strong.

Starting to really show where his interest are and how he sees the problems going on in America.

"Thanks guys, it was pretty strong."
Really? Pretty strong in racist overtones and inuendoes.

And you thanked him for that?

Great job shyguy. don't be scared all your life.

Great message, well delivered. Inspiring while laying out the challenges we all face. The stories and the filming of so many families, what they're going through hit home. Obama came across as confident, empathetic, clear headed and focused. He laid out his goals and specific actions.

Now on to watch Bill Clinton and Obama in Orlando.

i may have misunderstood you mw, i thought you were referencing the shy one.
my apologies

O hasn't done a press conference in over a month.

Grandma may be checking out, but your aunt is still living in a slum, your uncle is being evicted and your brother is still living in a shack. You've got the bucks now, but you still won't show them any charity? Fine, but then don't you dare take my money to distribute as YOU see fit.

I didn't see the "show". Did he explain why he lost his credentials to practice law back in the 90's? Didn't think so. So much for the Harvard degree...

I missed that bit of info regarding O losing his law credentials, Dimsey.

Care to elucidate?

He didn't lose his credentials, he's moved his status to "inactive." He doesn't practice law, has a different career and there's no need for him to keep his license active. You folks on the right are amazingly inept. Do you ever bother to question the pabulum you're fed?

But Dimsey said!

I didn't think it was possible to cram that much pap and drivel into 30 minutes.

Babu, you'll have 4 years to think about the possibilities very shortly.

Wow just Wow!

Did anyone catch the live from Central Florida rally with Obama being introduced by Bill Clinton?

Best. Rally. EVAR!

Bubba shone like the star he is.

He made the case for the neccessity and rightness of an Obama Presidency like nobody else could.

He used reason and humor and facts to explain in detail (w/o getting all policy wonky) why McCain has already failed the test to be Commander in Chief and why Obama has passed with flying colors.

Unlike in a McCain/Palin rally, Clinton and Obama spent their time talking about the issues that effect all Americans and didn't waste a second fearmongering about their opponents.

The essential difference between the two campaigns could not be made any plainer. Clinton and Obama are both uplifting orators who walk the fine line between realism and idealism and McCain and Palin are basically a perpetual pair of posionous puff-adders of despair.

So who you gonna vote for?

A visionary, transformational, zeitgeist shifting, once-in-a-lifetime politician with the passion, the energy, the ideas and the commitment to get done the job that needs doing?...

...or the misery twins Grampa Simpson and Scary Failin?

The contrasts couldn't be more stark here.

Black and white ...literally.

/Sorry, could nae resist.

Fer bonus groaner points McLame (who bailed on Larry King the other day ostensibly cos Campbell Brown asked a tough question of one of his flunkies) appeared on Larry King Live just after Obama's infomercial wrapped up where Larry asked John a hypothetical.

"If yer on a plane and unavailable to be in DC when a major crisis hits how much confidence do you have in your Vice President Sarah Palin."

John's answer?

"Total confidence"

Spud literally did a spit take at that.

Spud knows John is an accomplished liar and all but to be able to say THAT with a straight face?

Let's just say that after McCain loses this election on Tuesday he's got a heck of a career waiting fer him on the propfessional poker circuit.

Wow and Spud still gets to stay up and wait fer Obama to show up on the Daily Show later.

/Good thing Spud bought the CostCo sized box of Orville Redenbachers.

G08ama!

Be Well.

pap and drivel

Wot's that?

That's Palin and McLame's new nicknames?

Palin must be "Pap" cos she luffs to smear.

In McAncient's case you misspelled "dribble"

^_^

Be Well.

Pap and drivel.

One of the voices in your head must know what that means.

Consult them and get back to me.

WTF is this civilian national security force that Obama wants to create that will be as large as the military?

"Pap and Dribble" gets a FF!

WTF are you talking about?

civilian national security force civilian national security force civilian national security force BOO civilian national security force civilian national security force BOO Bwhahahahahahahahaha Scarey

Obama's words:

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Obama's Aunt Found Living in Rundown Boston Neighborhood

The Democratic candidate's Kenyan aunt is found living in a rundown public housing neighborhood in South Boston!

....more lunacy for Obamaland.

This is the only way you lib's will see this story!

Hell didn';t we have something like what Obama is wanting back in ott six?? Hell I think My Grandpa called it the civilian air patrol or something close. I don't see what all the fuss is all about AnAmerican. Just another thing to keep You Right Wingers gossipping about something against Obama. I am sure if this was back when they had party lines You and Your kind would be on their party lines saying oh did ya hear what Obama wants to do next and the other Women on the other lines would go no what does He want to do now. You gals would be burning up the lines for sure.

Larry

Spud wisdom is my favorite reason to visit Retort!

Thank you Mr. Spud for that humourous and witty post!

He's been explicit in what it means. It has to do with the $4000 college tuition break, it has to do with volunteering, it has to do with expanding AmeriCorps, PeaceCorp, doing domestic service - such as helping our own people.

There is no mystery, nothing sinister, nothing hidden. Not unless you need another bogeyman.

Larry, we already have police depts, sheriff depts, National Guard, FBI and Homeland Security. And he is talking about a budget as large as that of the military.

Yav, how does the word "security" fit in with your definition?

According to several sources I found, including the AARP, Obama was talking about the combined resources of the FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, etc.

It doesn't sound like that to me, Seeker.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion.

Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?

Yav, how does the word "security" fit in with your definition?

That's easy. It means really meaning it when you say "hearts and minds." It means restoring American's reputation in the world - by peaceful means - not by military intervention. Obama gave a great speech about all this in Colorado Springs. He laid it out really well. What we all can do towards this goal, what being a Citizen means.

Obama repeated his pledge to boost the size of the active military. But he also said the nation's future and safety depends on more than just additional soldiers.

"It also depends on the teacher in East L.A., or the nurse in Appalachia, the after-school worker in New Orleans, the Peace Corps volunteer in Africa, the Foreign Service officer in Indonesia," he said.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."

He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students.

For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service.

Obama said he realizes there will be skeptics, but stressed that greater public service will make the nation safer.

"Our destiny as Americans is tied up with one another," he said. "If we are less respected in the world, then you will be less safe."


What he's referring to, and it's called out more in his Colorado Springs speech are the things I outlined earlier. AmeicCorp, PeaceCorp, etc. You can read more here. bulletin.aarp.org

It's disturbing he put this "civilian national security force" in his infomercial. This will be central to his presidency, but it's shocking how brazen he is about it and how clueless the response of average Americans to what it means, even here among the Drudgies.

Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?

Where'd you get more expensive? They aren't going to need JDAMs, nukes or JSFs. It's about volunteerism, too. It's about strengthening our own Citizens - tutoring, attaining a more educated populace, increasing the attainment of higher education.

Yav, the concept of public service you outlined in his speech sounds great.

But when you read further, it almost sounds like schools will not continue to get funding without participating (He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students) and students must participate in order to get a tax credit (For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service).

It almost sounds like the "community service" a judge gives to an offender from the bench.

what others are saying about the cashcowmercial.

Thanks for posting that link, Nanc. Despite your deprecatory label on it, the comments were overwhelmingly positive and certainly don't bode well for McCain.

The ad is receiving very positive coverage this morning.

The Politico called it a "smoothly produced infomercial" that "weaved together American iconography -- images of amber waves of grain, pickup trucks and American flags -- with portraits of iconic voters, testimonials from politicians and one business figure, footage of Obama speeches and direct appeals from the candidate."

The Los Angeles Times says the spot "offered even the swiftest channel-flipper the chance to see Obama looking presidential."

The New York Post says "the heavily hyped piece let Obama -- whom Republicans have tried to paint as 'different' and 'foreign' -- reinforce the notion that he's an everyman."

The New York Daily News reports, "From its opening image of a rippling field of golden grain to shots of small-town U.S.A., Obama's epic echoed the style pioneered by Ronald Reagan's famous feel-good 'It's Morning in America' ads from his 1984 re-election campaign."

www.usnews.com

no problem sot - i'm still out looking and unless you hadn't noticed, i AM fair and balanced. although many of the comments had the "thrill up the leg" thing going on. YUCK!

That's why he reversed on accepting public funds. He knew he could raise way more money to do things like this.

Obama will have the record for the most advertising spending.

here's a condensed version of the cashcowmercial.

lol, nanc

I have a hope that if Obama wins we won't be seeing Nanc anymore. She will crawl back to her echo chamber and cry herself to sleep at night.

That is how you close the sale.

See you in 2012 righties, and until then, enjoy your President Obama!!!!!!

Hey nanc,

Shouldn't you be 'singing' right now????

No worry, rast. Nanc and I along with some of the other "vast right wing" bloggers will probably be arrested by his new Civilian National Security Force (CNSF) and thrown in Obama's goulag for daring to speak out against his Highness.

-I along with some of the other "vast right wing" bloggers will probably be arrested

But, on the bright side, you will be allowed to keep to your tin-foil twirly beanies and your, "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for GW!", bumper stickers.

If he starts doing that, where will the wealth (income) come from that he's promised to spread?

Can we keep our "NOBAMA" signs??

"No worry, rast. Nanc and I along with some of the other "vast right wing" bloggers will probably be arrested by his new Civilian National Security Force (CNSF) and thrown in Obama's goulag for daring to speak out against his Highness."

Odd, I thought you were in agreement with that kind of treatment. Bush has been doing it for years, yet you didn't object.

Are you reporting from Bush's goulag, Lisa dear?

Pause

I didn't think so...

Can we keep our "NOBAMA" signs??

Nope. They'll be deemed racist and thus qualify for hate speech. In short, they'll be made illegal and you'll get your ass thrown in jail if you have one.

Can we keep our "NOBAMA" signs??

Sure. You can even carry them all the way to millions of new jobs and debt reduction, same as under the last Dem economic policies.

Cork,

You are truly delusional if you believe an Obama presidency with a Dem majority in congress will result in debt reduction.

"You are truly delusional if you believe an Obama presidency with a Dem majority in congress will result in debt reduction."

Yeah...that would require a Republican president with a Republican majority in congress. THEN we'd see how it should be done!

THat's what the GOP said about Bubba in 1993. The world would end if he raised rates on the wealthy and cut middle class taxes.

Of course, he cleaned up the debt, left a surplus, and created 23 million new jobs instead.

Obama has the same advisers and the same policies.... and the same clean-up job to do after the same usual suspects.

that would require a Republican president with a Republican majority in congress. THEN we'd see how it should be done!

Which is the primary reason they were voted out in droves in 2006 and the same will continue in 2008.

Fucking bastards.

"Are you reporting from Bush's goulag, Lisa dear?

Pause

I didn't think so..."

ANAMERICAN honey???

There have been numerous people who have spoken out against Bush who HAVE been punished. Some have been mysteriously put on no fly lists and on and on it goes...in fact, one woman lost her job because she had a Kerry sticker on her car.

Check it out.

I'd be suprised to hear you mention anything about an Obama goulag again.

And why are the Republicans about to get their asses kicked Jeff?

Come on, you know........

And why are the Republicans about to get their asses kicked Jeff?

Primary reason: fiscal insanity

anamerican - we'll have some great roommates!

"Primary reason: fiscal insanity"

So, you admit that the current administration failed in this area? I'm glad. We are in agreement.

Then it makes no sense whatsoever to vote for McCain who supported everything that placed this country in such fiscal jeapordy.

True, Nanc. Can't wait to meet ya. And we will probably all get nice and slim in no time at all on our limited diets. We might lose our muscle tone, though.

I heard one person describe it as pathetic. All these people with their heads turned up to Obama with puppy dog looks on their face. Asking for Obama and the government to solve their problems. Cripe, have some pride. If you believe this man or this goverment is going to solve your problems, you are going to be just as dissapointed as the people in New Orleans who sat in their houses until they drowned, waiting for the goverment to save them.

Man-up, take care of yourself. Stop asking for a hand-out.

Agreed - what has happened to the American Dream - to the spirit of being self-made - Obama is selling welfare and a lot of people are buying - this is not what made America great - stand up and take care of yourself or get out of the way and let others through - keep your hands out of the pockets of those who are prepared to invest the sweat to succeed.

wonder if they'll be serving this in the gulag, anamerican?

and just think how much this cost and why he was able to afford it

because he is a FUCKIN LIAR

and did anyone get chris matthews reaction to it

makes the felling up his leg comment sound tame.

and he calls himself a JOURNALISTS?? surely not anymore.

did snowjobama mention this in his spiel last night?

...didn't think so.

Nanc, I'm going to inform my captors that my religion requires me to eat steak and seafood daily with rich desserts in the evening.

"I'm going to inform my captors that my religion requires me to eat steak and seafood daily with rich desserts in the evening"

Throw in a good Lodi Zinfandel, and sign me up!

A-menu!

NANCE......we have seen that before and does it matter to the left

HELL NO

and what of the three votes to deny health care to babies born of botched abortions?

not gobs of plasm or whatevver BUT LIVING BREATHING HUMAN BEINGS.........and THATS an american value?????

and of course he voted FOR that energy bill that mccain voted NO on..........

and again......the left doesnt care bout ANY of those FACTS................

"what of the three votes to deny health care to babies born of botched abortions?"

There was already a law on the books requiring care in those situations.

This new law would have made doctors, criminals.

but, will we be able to count food stamps as income on our mortgage apps?

I've found an interesting assessment of what Obama's Civilian National Security Force may be.

www.ibdeditorials.com

Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of "social change."

The pitch Public Allies makes on its Web site doesn't seem all that radical. It promises to place young adults (18-30) in paid one-year "community leadership" positions with nonprofit or government agencies. They'll also be required to attend weekly training workshops and three retreats.

In exchange, they'll get a monthly stipend of up to $1,800, plus paid health and child care. They also get a post-service education award of $4,725 that can be used to pay off past student loans or fund future education.

Public Allies brags that more than 80% of graduates have continued working in nonprofit or government jobs. It's training the "next generation of nonprofit leaders" future "social entrepreneurs."

Many of today's youth find the pitch attractive. "I may spend the rest of my life trying to create social movement," said Brian Coovert of the Cincinnati chapter. "There is always going to be work to do. Until we have a perfect country, I'll have a job."

Not all the recruits appreciate the PC indoctrination. "It was too touchy-feely," said Nelly Nieblas, 29, of the 2005 Los Angeles class. "It's a lot of talk about race, a lot of talk about sexism, a lot of talk about homophobia, talk about -isms and phobias."

One of those -isms is "heterosexism," which a Public Allies training seminar in Chicago describes as a negative byproduct of "capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male-dominated privilege."

The government now funds about half of Public Allies' expenses through Clinton's AmeriCorps. Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military, he said.

The gall of it: The Obamas want to create a boot camp for radicals who hate the military and stick American taxpayers with the bill.

what of the three votes to deny health care to babies born of botched abortions?"

There was already a law on the books requiring care in those situations.

This new law would have made

you simply CANT CHANGE This fact

his vote helped to deny health care to DIEING INFANTS.............so spin it all you want..

I am not doubting your comments but it doesnt make the issue right

for instance, even if it WaS on the books, ITS BAD LAW And he could have helped change it.....

Obama's prime-time ad skips over budget realities

news.yahoo.com

Klifferd - care to retract the 250k statement?

Funny this show was taped a week ago and the tax # he mentions is 200K, been lyin all this time.


This is for all the Right wing fucktards who have ever wasted the intelligent drudgers time reading your drivel. Yeah you BLT, Yeah you dog wizz, and you to JMFJ, Rob the bunghole and friends - this goes out to you fools who have been consistantly wrong.

You might as well realize that you're done, your president your party and your ignorance has failed this country long enough, so you can stick another quarter in your ass, cause you've played yourselves and the game is OVER!

Watch the entire WORLD celebrate the end of your bassackwards beliefs next week!!

Obama wants tax breaks for me? Thats awesome. Mt taxes wont go up? Thats awesome too.

Sowhere is the money going to come from to pay for all of the wonderful social programs Obama wants to implement that are going to cost hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars?

From big companies! Stick it to them!

Oh. Wait. When you tax companies like that, they have to recover the loss somewhere. They arent going to just sit and take a hit and lose profit and go "well, since its for Obama, we should just let that go this quarter!"

They're going to shove that price increase into the goods and services you buy. That money is going to come from somewhere. And its going to come from all of us - the consumer.

$1000 a year in tax credits is niceuntil you place that against the rising costs of things. If your bills increased 5% next year, would that tax credit cover everything? not reallyyou'd more than likely, depending on your income/debt ratio, be right back where you started, if not a step back.

But hey I guess Obama has made you feel better, because you are going to get a fat check in the mail. And when it dissolves under the increase of debt, welldon't come crying for more. Because the next round of tax increases will be in your own income group.

I can appreciate your points and frustration, anamerican. It would have helped if you (with many others) had been as lucid about the realities of running a government on "the credit card" for the last eight years. I suspect our "bill is coming due", both directly and indirectly.

I tend to view our country's fiscal health as a larger version of my personal one. Whenever I'm faced with a debt situation, the choices are obvious (assuming bankruptcy is NOT an option): earn more, spend less, or a combination. Borrowing on the future is not a solution and (typically) only delays the problem at best. OCCASIONALLY, that might be the best/only option, but I suspect our current government's fiscal policies are more tied into what is politically expedient rather than driven by fiscal wisdom. I feel that the "party is over" and we've a bit of a mess to clean up.

To that end, extracting the US from Iraq will (hopefully) free up the majority of the $100 BILLION/year which is being spent. For the immediate, that savings might help get us through our immediate "financial crisis". Hopefully, we can also invest a portion into our future: alternative energy research, infrastructure maintenance/expansion, education, etc. It will be lean/tough for awhile but if history is any guide, our country is more than up to the challenge. We definitely have to quit following a "eating our seed corn" mentality.

do you know why McCain said "Holy Shit!"

Barack Obama's infomercial on Wednesday night was watched by 30.1 million people on CBS, NBC, Fox and Univision, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings reported by the Washington Post.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, that beats the programming that's usually in the timeslot on the three networks - CBS, NBC and Fox -that's averaged 23.1 million combined viewers since the start of the season.

so go ahead and repeat the right wing BS talking points but get use to saying "President Obama"

George Orwell would be proud. Obama has a cable channel (channel 73 on Dishnetwork). He runs a 30 minute prime time network specials. His operatives infiltrate government computers to obtain confidential information on Joe The Plumber to attack him. His goons at the LA Times refuse to turn over incriminating video tapes to protect him. Prosecuters in some areas threaten criminal prosecution if you run an ad against Obama that they don't like. Hollywood filmakers line up to make pro-Obama videos for television and the internet.

Obama will usher in the most oppressive administration in U.S. history guaranteed.

UTASTAFF get back on your meds, no one believes your BS talking points other than the brainless, give it up!

I missed it. The last debate was a snooze, so I gave up listening to either one of them.


George Orwell would be proud.

If McCain had anywhere near the funds available that Obama has and if his communication team were as smart as Obama's, then you might expect a 30-minute prime time ad from them, or even buying their own satellite TV channel. Bad news is, McCain doesn't have the money, and his communication team is too damn busy keeping Palin from throwing McCain under the bus so she can run in 2012, and they're too damn busy getting Joe the Plumber a book deal, a record deal, and starting his congressional campaign.

It's sad that the Republican party's been reduced to what it is, but it's the truth.

because he is a FUCKIN LIAR

#199 | Posted by bushlovertwo

I didn't realize that the 'two' refered to your age.

Glad to see all the PAID professional Barack "Lord of Lords and King of Kings His Holiness" Hussein Obama worshippers on this website. I have to credit Obama with running the greatest propaganda campaign in the history of the world.

Obama's popularity is bought and paid for pure and simple. He insults the Ameican people by thinking their vote can be purchased while he mocks the common man like Joe The Plumber and small town folk. The snake ad kings behind cigarette and alcohol makers are taking notes because they are envious. Obama and Orwell. The O's have it.

Nice shade of green, utastaff!

If you were to read this, UTASTAFF, it probably won't give you a different sense of what is happening in this country.

For anybody else who didn't yet read Roger Cohen's marvellous piece, about our country and why some of us came here, it's worth it.

Sincerely,

An UNPAID VOTER and SUPPORTER of Barack Obama who believes he is going to be the best most honest President we have had for too long a time, no "Lord and Holiness" crap either. And your Orwell reference is only dumb.

I tend to view our country's fiscal health as a larger version of my personal one. Whenever I'm faced with a debt situation, the choices are obvious (assuming bankruptcy is NOT an option): earn more, spend less, or a combination.

Now that's a provident solution, TrueBlue. Unfortunately, it's not an analogous to Obama's methodology, which is to begin burglarizing neighbors' homes (but by decree rather than stealthily) until he has used up their wherewithal, and then as the economic machine becomes far less productive, the real impact is felt.

Now contrary to common belief, this worldwide slowdown began long before the alleged precipitating factor, the mortgage debacle occurred. There was problem creep for a long time. But the attempt to procure something for nothing underlays part of the current dilemma.

The government orchestrated the scenario with a mandate that loans that could not be repaid, be made. and then provided money for these bad loans by having Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provide the funds and participate in bundling and selling the loans which were de facto only secured in part. Rather than foster home ownership with loans that could not be serviced, the influx of such funds into the market inflated the cost of properties so they were beyond the reach of the intended beneficiaries. By the way, in 2006 some one-third, one in three, of all home property purchases were for speculative purposes.

Such schemes reflect the level of knowledge of the workings of an economy held by doctrinaire leftists, who discount market forces, and believe that wealth can be created by fiat. The only reason more wealth doesn't exist according to their creed, is due to the mean and avaricious capitalists. Their fable is incorrect, and the moral is wrong and misleading. But it inspires their misbegotten solutions as they intrude into the activities of daily living as they attempt to create goods and services under a system less conducive to it. They want us to live our lives maximizing intrusion by others, usually through governmental intiatives.<

When the Marxists with whose beliefs Obama has been indoctrinated, don't have "others who are preventing accumulation of wealth and the good life for all," to oppose, their ineptitude in maintaining a productive society has been repeatedly demonstrated. And with their dedication to ideology, they also are willing to slaughter hundreds of millions oblivious to the fact that it is their proposed system is at fault, not recalcitrant participants. The system also provides a platform for Cult of the Personality individuals, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, whose narcissism further compromises rational efforts to maintain a productive society with demonstrated workable incentives.

"OK, this one's about ready to pop."

The deficit is bad, very bad. Just because Bush and Co ran it up does not at all justify Obama running it up even more. I was against the Repubs doing it and I am against the Dems doing it.

Someone said this is like your personal finances. When in debt, you have to make more, spend less and pay off the debt.

Obama is like having a situation where you owe more on your house than it is worth, you have a car payment (upside down) and lots of credit card debt. You realize you have a problem and decide that first you will buy a new boat, then you will begin cleaning up your credit.

I also like the analogy of deciding to steal from my neighbors to pay my debts. Isn't that what the gov is doing? Isn't that part of why we broke off from England, high taxes??

This is sad. Like I said all these people who are waiting for Obama to come in and solve all their problems will find out that they are just like the people who in New Orleans who drowned while waiting for the gov to come in and save them.

Pathetic.

I am curious - do you know how much McCain's going to run up the deficit? The reason I ask is because I've seen several analysis. It doesn't look good.

Both campaigns have complained that our analysis is incomplete because we fail to consider the effects of their spending cuts on the budget. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the federal budget will run a cumulative deficit of $2.3 trillion over the 2009-2018 period under current law (see Summary Table 1).3 If federal spending evolves as CBO predicts, the proposed tax cuts would add to those deficits and substantially increase the national debt. Senator Obama's plan as described by his economic advisers would increase the ten-year cumulative deficit by about $3.6 trillion to $5.9 trillion; Senator McCain's plan would boost it by $5.1 trillion to nearly $7.4 trillion. Adding to their plans proposals made in stump speeches but not confirmed by campaign advisors would lower the cumulative deficit over the decade slightly to $5.4 trillion for Obama and raise it to almost $11 trillion for McCain.

McCain's great plans increase the deficit TWICE what Obama's would.

McCain is Bush.

Quite a few points raised in the last few postings. A few observatons:

1. We did not break off from England due to high taxes. We broke off because the taxes were imposed WITHOUT REPRESENTATION (i.e. we had no say in having the taxes imposed). Anecdote: the Tea Tax (of Boston Tea Party fame) actually only amounted to pennies PER YEAR. Regardless that a penny was worth more then, what incensed The Colonies is that it was FORCED on them.

2. Actually, my advice for when in debt was: "make more, spend less, or a combination". In the government's case, that would roughly translate into "raise revenue (taxes), spend less, or a combination". One difficulty we are faced with now, while trying to straighten out our economy, is a weakened dollar which (IMHO) is primarily due to defict spending. In this deficit spending situation, our government has chosen to keep our economy going (a.k.a. delude us into thinking the "fundamentals are sound") by expanding the money supply (see "printing money", BTW talk about "fiat wealth"!!! Are you implying the government is being run by "doctrinaire leftists"? ROFLMFAO!!!), borrowing to obtain goods (see "trade deficit" and "unfinanced Iraq War"), and make less (see "tax rebate"). You might believe that "Marxist Obama" is going to "screw you over", but the reality is the "market forces" are going to "correct" our situation regardless of political philosophy.

3. Our current economy is ALREADY a "owe more on your house than it is worth, you have a car payment (upside down) and lots of credit card debt" situation. You may believe this is because of what you think Obama is going to do, but really the "market forces" don't care what you believe.

4. Free advice (and worth every penny!): the longer we continue this pathetic ranting about "NarcissObamaMarxistAyersFarra
hkanWright-eousness"(tm) instead of facing up to the REAL problem, the deeper in the hole we're going to get.

Johnson, could I put the name of George W Bush in that blank space, without upsetting your argument?

Wow. How desperate for attention must you be to quote yourself without a followup? "Look guys! Look at this witty comment of mine!".

If Controlledpairs even has a pair they are way out of control.

Did Obama wear a Santa suit in his infomercial?

LOL, Funny, I love it when hippies become what they hate, happens all the time.

Obama is going to fix healthcare when no else can.
He is so smart, his ideas are unflawed, at least in his own mind.
