Two Part Post - The Obama Questions and the Issues

Cartoon courtesy of Gary McCoy

My next column will deal with the issues. Not charges or innuendoes or that kind of junk. This post is going to finish up pointing out some of that stuff...and there is a lot to point out. There are some things I want to get out of my craw and pass out to the readers. The primary reason I feel I need to do this is because the major news media won't do it.

So I am get some of this out there today and then tomorrow I can sit down and tell you why I am voting for John McCain and go over the issues. It will be a positive and informative post and hopefully one that inspires thought and discussion.

This post is designed to open the eyes of those who are blindly following after a candidate who has consistently hidden his past life and associations and continues do do so. It is about a news media who is in the back pocket of the Democratic Party to an alarming degree. I want to be sure you see this stuff and then I dare you to check it out for yourself. Don't be lemmings.

Are Democratic Party hacks investigating "Joe the plumber" illegally using government computers? Looks that way.

"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.


The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department..."

.,Did you know the Obama campaign is selling access to his election night coverage? The charges are amazing and are arrogant in the extreme. Charging news media for the right to cover his possible victory party (or loss funeral) in lumps of hundreds and even thousands of dollars!!!!

Obama campaign cuts off WFTV after interview with Joe Biden

You tube version here.

WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?

West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.

"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.

"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.

Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."

Here's a link to the interview: http://www.wftv.com/video/17790025/index.html.

WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."

Jordan said political campaigns in general pick and choose the stations they like. And stations often pose softball questions during the satellite interviews.

"Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."

Jordan added, "I'm crying foul on this one."

What did you think of the interview?
The Obama campaign has already told it's followers to flood radio programs who they do not life with phone calls and emails and have asked the Justice Department to investigate a critic. They have cut off this TV station. Will they pull a Hugo Chavez and shut down dissident media once in office?

When John Murtha is allowed to call our soldiers war criminals and get away with not apologizing when he is proven to be a liar, when he says his own constituency are a bunch of prejudiced rednecks, MSM says little or nothing. When Joe Biden says that a new President Obama would be tested by the bad guys of the world, thus possibly endangering our very existence, NBC News doesn't even report on it. Why? They are too busy complaining that the Republican Party bought Sarah Palin a campaign wardrobe. Seems Palin, unlike the usual rich folks who run for office, doesn't have a closet full of pricey clothing. WOW, hard and important breaking news!!! I bet the Obama campaign spends more on flags to throw away than the Republicans spent on Palin clothing. They spend four or five dollars for every one the McCain campaign can spend, because, unlike Obama, McCain kept his pledge to adhere to the Campaign Finance matching funds. Yet another promise Obama has broken.

Four former secretaries of state have declared their support for McCain. Have you even heard about that? Or have you only heard about Colin Powell coming out for Obama after getting a promise of a place in the Obama administration?

John Stephenson let me know about an employee of the LA Times who is sitting on a video that would be explosive in nature if released. Jim Hoft has the scoop:

http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/10/confirmed-msm-holds-video-of-barack.html

Excerpt: LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama's close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April.Wallsten discussed a dinner held back in 2003 in honor of Khalidi, a critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights.Barack Obama has denied his close association with Khalidi, too.According to Wallsten the evening not surprisingly turned into a classic Jew-bash:

"During the dinner a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace."One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."Barack Obama also praised the former PLO operative during the event.And, Obama confessed that his family often shared dinner with the Khalidis:
His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases... It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."...The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.

Here is a video explaining his ties to Obama.

Allow me to say that small dead animals has gotten ahold of Barry's scrapbook, so here I give him a chance to tell you about himself. Click and see!

Last, I will quote Scott Swett on his take of the Obama Questions:

The puzzle pieces are falling into place, and a chilling picture is emerging:

Barack Obama’s mentor and long-time minister Jeremiah Wright called upon God to “damn America.” Wright also preached that America deserved the 9/11 attacks, and claimed that the US government created AIDS in order to kill black people.


Obama worked closely for several years with the former Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers. Ayers hosted the fundraiser that launched Obama’s political career with his wife Bernardine Dohrn, also a communist and a former terrorist.


As an attorney in Illinois, Obama represented ACORN, the radical community organizing group that set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis by pressuring banks to make high-risk mortgage loans. Obama later sent millions of dollars to ACORN while working with Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. In 2007 Obama promised ACORN members that if elected, he would be “calling all of you in” during the post-election transition “to help us shape the agenda.” His presidential campaign paid the group more than $800,000 in 2008. ACORN is currently being investigated for election fraud in more than a dozen states.

Obama’s primary financial backer in Chicago, political fixer Tony Rezko, was convicted of 16 felonies including fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery.

Archived documents of the Marxist Chicago “New Party” show that Obama was a member in the 1990’s. His campaign had previously denied any connection.

In 2006, Obama spent six days in Kenya campaigning for Marxist presidential candidate Raila Odinga. His Senate staff coordinated donations to Odinga’s campaign totaling nearly $1 million. Obama declared at numerous rallies that Kenyans “are now yearning for change.” Meanwhile, Odinga signed a declaration of understanding with Muslim leaders recognizing Islam as Kenya’s “only true religion.” After Odinga’s defeat, his thugs started riots that killed at least 1,000 people and destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches. More than 50 people, mostly women and children, were burned to death in a single church while men with machetes attacked anyone who tried to escape. Kenya’s elected government was then forced to accept a “power-sharing” agreement with Odinga’s party.

Obama has been praised by Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, and the terrorist group Hamas. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says Obama is “the Messiah.”

America’s “mainstream” media organizations have gone out of their way to ignore or dismiss these disturbing facts, protecting the flawed candidate they favor – a man who could not pass the background check required to obtain a basic security clearance.

Instead, they spend their time investigating the life of “Joe the Plumber,” to deflect attention away from Barack Obama’s revealing promise to “spread the wealth around.”
