I live in Boystown, too. Let me buy you guys a martini. But not at Sidetracks. That HOPE sign hanging outside of there is like a repellant. Maybe I’ll be better adjusted and go back once McCain is in office and the HOPE sign is down!
HillBuzzers, please take a look at the piece below by Big Lizard. It is highly relevant to all that we have been constantly battling these past two years. It is a very clear, strong and emphatic warning about the importance of ignoring the polls on election day.
oh my goodness! What’s the date on this? WHY is all this stuff coming out now? For crying out loud. There is NO way the MSM can hide behind their fig leaf and say they’ve done their job. grrr…….
that MEchelle quote and the video where obama admits that he should not run for president should have been enough to convince people long ago that this guy is a fraud.
Who Is Barack Obama?? [[And would he even qualify for an FBI security clearance if he were to apply for a routine federal government job??]]
Now that we know every possible detail of Joe the Plumber, maybe it’s time to reflect on the aspects of Obama’s personal and private live that continue to be sheilded from the public, with the assistance of the main-stream media.
Many people are under the mistaken belief that Presidential candidates have gone through an FBI check or some other verification of their background prior to the election process. That is not the case.
The “vetting” is done solely by the electorate, and so far the voters have received only minimal information on Obama, his financial backers, and formative years.
Would OBAMA even qualify for an FBI security clearance if he were to apply for a routine government job (as opposed to running for President)? Now that would be a very interesting story for the media to report. Much more relevant than Joe the Plumber’s tax bill.
Putting aside documents showing his ties to Ayers, ACORN, Frank Marshall Davis (his communist mentor), etc., here are some examples of the information Obama continues to withhold:
* Obama has released just one brief document detailing his personal health. McCain, on the other hands, released what he said was his complete medical file totaling more than 1500 pages. After criticism on the matter, last week the Obama campaign also released some routine lab-test results and electrocardiograms for Obama. All test results appeared normal, but many details about his health remain a mystery.
* Obama has refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois, and has been unable to produce correspondence, such as letters from lobbyists and other correspondence from his days in the Illinois state senate. There are also no appointment calendars available of his official activities. “It could have been thrown out,” Obama said while on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary. “I haven’t been in the state Senate now for quite some time.”
* Obama has not released his client list as an attorney or his billing records. Obama has maintained that he only performed a few hours of legal work for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago businessman convicted of fraud in June. But he has not released billing records that would prove this assertion.
* Obama won’t release his college records from Occidental College where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia.
* Obama’s campaign refuses to give Columbia University, where he earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his transcripts. Such transcripts would list the courses Obama took, and his grades. President George W. Bush, and presidential contenders Al Gore and John Kerry, all released their college transcripts. (McCain has refused to release his Naval Academy transcript.)
* Obama’s college dissertation has simply disappeared from Columbia Universities archives. In July, in response to a flurry of requests to review Obama’s senior thesis at the Ivy League school, reportedly titled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told NBC News “We do not have a copy of the course paper you requested and neither does Columbia University.”
* The senator has not agreed to the release of his application to the Illinois state bar, which would clear up intermittent allegations that his application to the bar may have been inaccurate.
* Jim Geraghty of the National Review has written extensively about Obama’s unwillingness to release records related to clients he represented while he was an attorney with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill, and Gallard. Obama was required to list his clients during his years in the Illinois senate. “Obama listed every client of the firm,” Geraghty reported, making it impossible to discern which clients he represented.
* Obama has never released records from his time at Harvard Law School.
* Obama also has not disclosed the names of small donors giving $200 or less to his campaign. An exception to the finance-reporting laws exempts the campaign from reporting those who donate less than $200, but that law never envisioned the more than $300 million that has been raised by Obama in small amounts. The Republican National Committee has released its small donors, as well as McCain’s, on a public database.
* International travel records, including those showing why he was able to travel into Pakistan during a time when U.S. Passport holders were not admitted.
Please, someone ask Hillary Clinton to do something. I have NEVER been a Hillary fan, but if Obama is a unifying force, it is only in this way. We need to do something. Please, if the Clinton’s would say they are voting for McCain – what a differnce that might make! Now this man has pushed away three newspapers that didn’t endorse him. Freedom of the Press? Hillary – this man won’t stop at being president. This man wants even more than that, and half the world might be willing to give it to him. With a democratic Congress, will there be any stopping him?
But if he gets the World support he’s going for, won’t even the Clinton’s be unable to stop him after this election?
I am very, very frightened. I was never this frightened of the Clinton’s. I would give anything to have Hillary running right now.

That’s the first truthful thing ever to come out of that woman’s mouth.

LOL! HillBuzz, you make me happy. Spot on!

Hillarious! Straight from the horse’s mouth. Why isn’t this in an ad?
October 31, 2008 at 12:08 am
HOORAY! McCAin needs to make an ad outta this baby and fast!
October 31, 2008 at 12:08 am
She does have a point.

This one needs to go viral too.
OT: did you see this article in the Trib today? http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-wed-phil-rosenthal-29oct29,0,5050102.column
I think you’ll be getting your wish about the LA Times soon. I’m thinking they’ll be online only next year.

You realize, Obama (D-ACORN) defers to Michelle on the tough issues. He stated that she knows him better than anyone.

That is the first and only intelligent MEchelle has ever said. Unless you classify the first time in my adult life comment intelligent…
October 31, 2008 at 12:15 am
I can’t believe this isn’t running in an ad. How perfect is that clip?
October 31, 2008 at 12:18 am
For the first time in my adult life, I agree with something Michelle Obama has said.

Did any of you see the part in the Obama-mercial where Sarah Palin snuck past security?
Check out the look on the Obamaton’s faces.

Cute, Jake. I was a little slow…took me a moment to figure out where Sarah was…that was cute.

This is one of my fav vids. This was a sitdown interview in Chi just after he won his senate seat. Perfect: “He’s NOT ready yet”. Absolutely perfect!
