The Final Stretch to the Pomo White House

World Net Daily in "Obama spreads wealth – to non-taxpayers" Brad O'Leary, the author of "The Audacity of Deceit" rips senator's universal mortgage credit as socialist 'welfare wealth redistribution. "No matter how Barack Obama tries to dress-up his tax welfare plan, it is still a welfare plan," O'Leary said in a statement. "Under Obama's massive plan for wealth redistribution, 44 percent of Americans will never pay federal income taxes, and many of these folks will also receive bonus, or 'welfare,' checks from the government."

Are you still trying to recover from Joe Biden gaffing the lid off the latest security briefing, with his implication to a crowd of donors that Obama's lack of experience would create an appearance of weakness that would encourage opponents to challenge the US? Here's the candidate himself back in 2004, asserting he's a believer in "knowing what you're doing when you apply for a job", implying that he isn't.

WND reports that "even some 800 days later, on 10th February 2007, when he announced his presidential bid, in remarks published by the Washington Post as prepared for delivery, he admitted, "I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington."

Freedoms Defense Funds today released a TV ad on Obama's campaigning for Kenyan Communist agitator Raila Odinga. In the post "The O Plot Thickens: Law Suits Like Kittens" we reported in detail how Raila came into power by signing a pact with the country's Muslim representatives, imposing sharia law and evoking cooperation with the GWOT - which was particularly outrageous in the light that Obama in 2006, as a member of the Senate, campaigned in Kenya for his cousin at the taxpayer's expense.

The post also contains a link to a PDF document stating that “Friends of Senator BO” are on the books for 66,000,000 Kenyan Shillings/US$1 million. In the post-election turmoil atrocities were committed against the Christian population. Obama is the quintessential Postmodernist: according to their philosophy, 'truth' is flexible, words have no fixed meaning, talk is little more than soundwaves. So, do not recognize him by his meaningless yada yada, but by his deeds! They speak volumes! Read it all >>>

Investigator Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, has published the latest findings on Obama's associations with ACORN on the site of National Review. Kurtz in "Something New Here - Radical? Check. Tied to ACORN? Check. Redistributionist? Check.":

"During his first campaign for the Illinois state senate in 1995-96, Barack Obama was a member of, and was endorsed by, the far-left New Party.

Obama’s New Party ties give the lie to his claim to be a post-partisan, post-ideological pragmatist.

Particularly in Chicago, the New Party functioned as the electoral arm of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

- Caption (I) - click to enlarge: Front page-scanned from a photocopy of New Party News, Spring 1996 - New Zeal File 41 -

So despite repeated attempts to distance himself from ACORN, Obama’s New Party ties raise disturbing questions about his links to those proudly militant leftists. The media’s near-total silence on this critical element of Obama’s past is deeply irresponsible."

(...) the New Party was a mid-1990s effort to build a “progressive” coalition to the left of the Democratic party (...) they were looking for a cross between the “party within the party” strategy favored by leftist Democrats and the “plague on both your houses” stance later adopted by the Naderites.

That means Obama’s New Party ties place him on the far left end of the Democratic party, arguably with one foot outside and to the left of the party itself. (...)

- Caption (II) - click to enlarge: Front page ultra close up-scanned from a photocopy of New Party News, Spring 1996 - New Zeal File 41 -

To get a sense of where the New Party stood politically, consider some of its early supporters (caption III) (...) Unquestionably, ACORN was one of the most important forces behind the creation of the New Party. (...)

- Caption (III) - click to enlarge: Part of an undated New Party document probably from 1995 - Scanned from a photocopy - New Zeal File 41 -

ACORN’s leading role in the New Party as the result of a conscious decision by the organization to move into electoral politics in a more substantial way than they had been able to solely through their political action committee. (...) the fact that Obama received the New Party’s endorsement in his first run for office in 1995-96 cannot be dismissed as insignificant. On the contrary, Obama’s ties to the New Party, and the New Party’s backers at ACORN (often the very same people), are long-standing, substantial, and reveal a great deal about his personal political allegiances. (...)

More than this, we now have substantial evidence that Obama himself was in fact a New Party member. We even have a photograph (IV) of Obama appearing with other successful New Party candidates. Clearly, then, it is more than fair to identify Obama with the hard-left stance of the New Party and its ACORN backers. In her recent study of ACORN and the Gamaliel Foundation, the two groups of community organizers to which Obama was closest, Heidi Swarts describes their core ideology as “redistributionist.” Joe the Plumber, take note.

Whether formally socialist or not, Obama ties with ACORN and its New Party political arm show that spreading your wealth around has long been his ultimate goal. (...) At what point will the press force Obama to own up to the full extent of his ties to ACORN? (...) to the New Party? At what point will the depth of Obama’s redistributionist economic stance be acknowledged? Barack Obama is hiding the truth about his political past, and the press is playing along. >>>

The photos and the ties of Barack Obama and radicalism were first published by Trevor Loudon
in "Obama File 41 Obama Was a New Party Member-Documentary Evidence," the investigative treasure trove on radicalism, New Zeal. He's doing a really great job. Read it all >>>

In the meantime concerning the "Stop the Obama Constitutional Crisis" lawsuit of Berg versus Obama, legal writer Jeff Schreiber on America's Right posts that he has "from good and reliable sources, information suggesting that the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick will come down with an order and memorandum either on Thursday or Friday." As we posted yesterday, he doesn't expect it to be good news, but Berg has vowed to take this case all the way. Please consider a donation on his site.

Ken Timmerman on NewsMax has the latest on the credit card donation fraud.

Daniel Pipes on Middle East Forum raises the question of Obama failing security clearance and the connections and even indebtedness, throughout his career, to extremist Islam.

Also on NewsMax David A. Patten says that when it comes to offering the public documents about his own public and private activities, Obama’s record for openness gets an "F" grade. He maps what's on public record and what isn't. You'll be amazed.

The O Plot Thickens: Law Suits Like Kittens

The situation around Philip Berg's pending law suit, demanding proof of Barack Obama's natural born citizenship - which is a precondition for the Presidency - is getting more outrageous by the day.

Think about it: the entire United States and at least half the world are up in arms about these historical elections; there's a global financial crisis on, prime national hero Colin Powell has just endorsed the nominee, millions donated to his campaign and millions more voted for his candidacy, and now we have one US Presidential hopeful who believes that if you ignore unpleasant situations, these will go away all by themselves. It figures: thought creates reality in Barack Obama's book: he's the quintessential Postmodernist, fed on a life-long diet of subjectivism: "If I die overnight, will the sun rise tomorrow?" "No, I fear not, Your Excellency, oh Heavenly Lord of Your Own Private Universe."

The candidate and Howard Dean refuse to clear up the matter of Obama's natural born citizenship, so we're headed for a constitutional crisis. Change! is about right. Here's the latest update on the 17th of October, an interview with Phil Berg on The Right Perspective:


There are at least two more law suits being filed, one of which in Washington. Many more Americans are considering taking legal action as well (see comments on Berg's website Obama Crimes).

Once you've recovered your breath from that one, feast your eyes on this jaw-dropper: footage from an ACORN meeting in January 2007 (hat tip: Expose Obama) in which the candidate, spreading favors around, pledges the association of community organizers, they will shape his Presidential agenda.

This does not only show the intimate nature of their alliance, in the face of Obama maintaining that the extent of their association was limited to ACORN getting the vote in when he ran against Hilary Clinton; it is also indicative of either false promises and election bribing, or - if true - a taste if things to come: community agitators ... eh organizers running the White House!

That over, we've got some pretty awful video material about the candidate's involvement in the post election violence in Kenya, orchestrated by Communist Germany raised cousin Raila Odinga. And guess what... he stood on an election platform, promising to ... "spread the wealth around."

World Net Daily in the latest despatch from Nairobi: "How Obama friend tried to give nation to Muslim minority - Read 3-page agreement that promised to Islamize Kenya, protect terrorists".

Read here and see there how Raila indulged in another clan habit, political opportunism. Raila came into power by signing a pact with the country's Muslim representatives, imposing sharia law and evoking cooperation with the GWOT - particularly outrageous in the light of the following.

In 2006, as a member of the Senate, Obama campaigned in Kenya for his cousin at the taxpayer's expense. Contained in following PDF document is a line that states “Friends of Senator BO” and the amount shown is 66,000,000 Kenyan Shillings, which equates to US$1 million. As a side note, Dick Morris Associates is listed providing the value (21,335,000 KES or US$344,000) of pro bono work for Raila Odinga: PDF-Consolidated Statement of Campaign Financial Activities.

The vid poses the rhetorical question, why Barack Obama supports a man like Raila Odinga. Who's to say - perhaps because it's all in the family, the African tribal relationship, or the warm beating bossom of the Communist International.

Headlines for the 2nd Presidential Debate (update)

This freakin' thing that is making the rounds since yesterday and is constantly being pulled, is still in working order at the time of publication. If it stops, Newsbusters have a fairly accurate description: these are the forces at work here - take a peek into the crystal ball ...

... the following headlines caught the eye of our editor:

The Boston Globe has statistics on the debates so far.

... STOP PRESS ... this is really getting creepy:

NYT: "Kenya Detains U.S. Author Critical of Obama"

NAIROBI, Kenya — The American author of a best-selling book highly critical of Senator Barack Obama was detained by Kenyan immigration agents on Tuesday as he prepared to give a press conference in Nairobi. Jerome R. Corsi, the conservative gadfly who wrote “The Obama Nation,” in which he attacks the Democratic presidential candidate, was being held Tuesday because he was trying to work in Kenya without a valid work permit, according to local media reports. The reports said that Mr. Corsi would likely be deported. Elias Njeru, a spokesman for Kenya’s immigration department, said, “His immigration forms were not in order.” (...) >>>

Twitter is one huge echo chamber, all true believer o'bots repeating the talking points: "Brack aint no terrist" - "play guilt by association big time" - "McCain erratic" - "Palin and McCain igniting Hate" - "Palin is a total creep and total creeps love her" - it's pathetic ... is the O'church entirely made up of unhinged twelve year olds?

WSJ: "About That Middle-Class Tax Cut . . . - Remember the last time a charismatic Democrat made such a promise?"

"It's like déjà vu all over again." (...) Back when Mr. Clinton was campaigning for president in 1992, he made a pretty direct pitch: Raise taxes on people making more than $200,000, and use those revenues to fund tax relief for the "forgotten middle class."(...) He followed with a pledge: "Now, I'll tell you this," he said. "I will not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for these programs. If the money does not come in there to pay for these programs, we will cut other government spending, or we will slow down the phase-in of the programs." Mr. Clinton, of course, won that election. And as the inauguration approached, he began backtracking (...) he claimed that it was the media that had played up a middle-class tax cut (...) On page one of the New York Times, the paper described the fate of the middle-class tax cut this way: "Families earning as little as $20,000 a year -- members of the 'forgotten middle class' whose taxes he promised during his campaign to cut -- will also be asked to send more dollars to Washington under the President's plan." In some ways, we are today reliving the campaign of 1992. (...) Give Sen. Obama his due. His patter is direct and easy to understand. (...) Congress is even less popular than the president (...) the need for a Republican check on a Democratic Washington is a potent argument. That was one of the lessons from the Clinton years. (...) >>>

... if they want they nail you any which way - as a journalist, she should now ... it accounts for the miraculous metamorphosis from a stuttering dimwit to a sparkling debater who takes on "The Mouth" ...

WSJ: "Palin on Couric: ‘The Sarah Palin in Those Interviews Is Annoyed’"

Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin blamed her failure to come up with a single newspaper that she reads or a Supreme Court decision that she disagrees with besides Roe v. Wade on — you betcha — the media. Her interview with CBS’s Katie Couric, where she stumbled on those questions, was widely mocked, though her performance in Thursday’s vice-presidential debate was generally well received. In the wake of the debate, she granted an interview to Fox News where she tried to explain what happened in the interview with Couric. “Honestly, the Sarah Palin in those interviews is annoyed,” the Alaska governor said. “No matter what you say, you will get clobbered on the answer. (...) she said she reads the New York Times and the Economist. (...) >>>

... googling for an article on a women's group that yesterday endorsed Palin (which we didn't get) instead what we got was this orgy of hatred ... (and that is the MSM!), which reminds us of a truly psychiatric case on a woman, who not only projected her own failings 101 on Palin, but also blamed the Republican Party for it ... for having Palin flung in her face for the way they did ... truly mind-boggling and fairly common ...

... Fred J. Eckert has precious advise for John McCain ...

PJM: "McCain Must Wake Up and Quit Pussyfooting Around"

McCain needs to come out of his slumber (...) first vehemently attacks Obama and the Democrats over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and compellingly demonstrates the extent of their complicity in the colossal failure as well as the depth of their corruption. (...)

The guy who keeps boasting that he will name the names behind comparatively small time pork barrel if he becomes president had better name the names behind the massive Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac disasters (...) call a news conference (...) demand that Chris Dodd immediately resign (...) that Barney Frank immediately resign (...) that an investigation be launched into the propriety of permitting Barney Frank to oversee Fannie May while his “significant other” serves as a top Fanny May executive (...) that Obama either join with him in calling for a punishment of such an outrageously poor performance or else explain why he won’t. (...) that Obama and Dodd and Frank and all others who raked in money from Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac return those funds and that they make the checks out to the U.S. Treasury. Ask Obama why he selected to be one of his advisers the CEO who ran Fanny Mae into the ground while pocketing some $90 million in six years (...) ask what he was thinking (...)

Put into TV ads video clips of those four-years-ago Congressional hearings about the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight report regarding illegal bookkeeping practices at Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac and warning of looming disaster. It is easy to prove that Republicans took the warning seriously and that every Democrat involved opposed action, arguing “we do not have a crisis” (...) educate the country to the fact that when it all finally did hit the fan, the Democrats tried to pull yet another fast one on the American people by attempting to slip into the $700 million financial rescue plan a provision that would have take 20% of the money for debt retirement and instead earmark it into the coffers of a radical left-wing operation with which Obama has deep roots.

McCain needs to talk — loudly and until the sound of his voice breaks through the media’s barrier protecting Obama — about how Obama’s allies attempted to require taxpayers to pay a kick back formula fee of potentially billions of dollars to this bunch of left-wing radicals who have a long track record of convictions for voter fraud, embezzlement, and misuse of taxpayers’ money — the network of community organizers who go by the name ACORN (...) alert voters to the fact that Obama worked for ACORN (....) was a trainer (...) performed services for them as a lawyer; that he and his unrepentant terrorist friend Bill Ayers worked closely together funneling grants to them; that Obama’s campaign has spent nearly a million dollars to retain their services.

Ask Obama how such sleazy shenanigans had anything to do with restoring confidence (...) ask Obama — what did you know and when did you know it? Demand that he explain (...) ask until he answers. Make Obama squirm. If John McCain comes to his own rescue (...) he will be taking a giant step toward the White House. (...) If he doesn’t, he will be letting down the country — and that is the last thing that John McCain would ever intentionally do. >>>

... Thomas Sowell ... has this to say ...

Townhall: "The Real Obama"

Critics of Senator Barack Obama make a strategic mistake when they talk about his "past associations." (...) Associations are very different from alliances. Allies are not just people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind of allies you choose says something about you. Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years (...) an alliance is not just an "association" from being at the same place at the same time. Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America.(...) Fortunately, there is a documented, factual account of what Barack Obama has actually been doing over the years, as distinguished from what he has been saying during this election campaign, in a new best-selling book. That book is titled "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Freddoso. (...)

The story of Obama's political career is not a pretty story. He won his first political victory by being the only candidate on the ballot-- after hiring someone skilled at disqualifying the signers of opposing candidates' petitions (...) Obama came out in favor of the Daley machine and against reform candidates. (...) "People don't come to Obama for what he's done, they come because of what they hope he can be." David Freddoso's book should be read by those people who want to know what the facts are. But neither this book nor anything else is likely to change the minds of Obama's true believers, who have made up their minds and don't want to be confused by the facts. (...) >>>
