ABC reports that today, one of Barry’s teleprompters could take no more and leapt to its death.
Midway through his speech on urban and metropolitan policy in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building this afternoon, one of his two small glass prompters came crashing down, hitting the wood floor and crashing in many pieces. It made quite a ruckus.
“Oh, goodness,” a startled President Obama said. “Sorry about that, guys.”
He then proceeded on with his remarks, “To pull our economy back from the brink, including the largest and most sweeping economic recovery plan in our nation’s history…”
I’d be willing to bet that, as “journalists”, they took the previous quote out-of-context (as they’re so willing to do to conservatives) and that it really went more like this…
“To pull our … ummm … head out of our … ummm … economy back … ahhh … from the … ummm … capitalists … errr … brink, including … ummm … the largest and most sweeping tax increase … errr … economic … ummm … destruction … errr … recovery plan … ahhh … will you guys at ABC just finish this for me? After all, you guys wrote it…”
But hey, that’s just me doing that thinking thing again…
All this election nonsense is really setting a negative mood today. So, to lighten things up a bit, here’s a story that’s got NOTHING to do with McCain, Obama, or the Economy.
London City Airport was briefly evacuated and flights grounded Friday due to fumes emanating from the toilets, police said.
The fifth-biggest airport serving the British capital, London City was closed from about 3:00 pm (1400 GMT) to 5:15pm (1615 GMT) after a “suspect substance” was discovered in the toilets, said an airport spokeswoman.
The airport spokeswoman can say whatever she wants, but we all know the real cause of the evacuation.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.
This is wholly contemptible, unacceptable, and without justification. Words cannot describe my feelings on this issue.
But this incident also made me consider some of the previous incidents of violence perpetrated against conservatives simply because of a difference in political ideology.
To be fair, Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign did make a sympathetic statement concerning the young lady that was attacked in Pittsburgh and hoped for the apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrator.
I’m not trying to insinuate that the Obama campaign supports or encourages this violence, but I would opine that the campaign could do much more to tone down the “race-baiting” and other nonsensical rhetoric that fans the flames of this kind of hate by weak-minded and rabid thugs.
Unlike the alleged “threat” against Obama that even the Secret Service cannot find any evidence of, the evidence of violence against conservatives is real, documented, and all too frequent.
I encourage the thinking, rational person to examine the evidence of violence against conservatives as well as other historical socialist organizations that used violence to further their political agenda and then to draw their own conclusions.
Update 10/24/08
It turns out that the lady that claimed to have been attacked made up the story.
A McCain-Palin campaign volunteer who claimed she was robbed and cut by a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama has confessed to making up the story, Pittsburgh police Assistant Chief Maurita Bryant said this afternoon.
This is exactly the kind of nonsense that we DO NOT NEED. Tensions are high enough already due to the overbearing rhetoric — no more games are needed from either side. This kind of stuff is disgusting. I can understand wanting to support your preferred candidate, but this is way over-the-top.
This type of nonsense just serves to further marginalize the other documented violence against conservative supporters. Furthermore, it does the McCain campaign that she supports no good at all.
Stepping back into the campaign spotlight, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) came to Minnesota tonight to urge the election of comedian-commentator-candidate Al Franken to the Senate.
“Al Franken was taking on the vast right-wing conspiracy before other people even admitted it existed,” she told a crowd of 2,000 supporters on the University of Minnesota campus, urging them to give her rival, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. “Al Franken, with your help, can be our 60th vote.”
Perhaps the re-emergence of Hillary’s imaginary Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is simply designed to distract from the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy that’s threatening the very fabric of our Republic? Just a thought…
Bingaman told the station he would support re-imposition of the regulation – which was rescinded in 1987 – on the station.
So there you have it. Just wondering of the Obamedia will be subject to the same requirements? Or will they find a “fairness loophole” to slide through?
Regardless, clutch that First Amendment tightly — a group of folks walk to take it away from you.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will leave the campaign trail to go to Hawaii this week to visit the ailing grandmother who helped raise him, an aide said on Monday.
According to the Marxist views that Obama seems to hold, I’m surprised that he would do something like this, as (to pervert a Trek-ism) the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. And we’ve been told ad-nauseum since Obama won the nomination that we all need him and we puny citizens and this nation would be helpless without him.
Indeed, did the Obama campaign not cricize John McCain for suspending his own campaign to deal with the financial problems caused by liberal Democrats and the Community Reinvestment Act, a threat to the nation as a whole?
“It’s my belief that this is exactly the time that the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess,” Obama said. “It’s going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once.” He demurred when asked by reporters whether McCain’s move was a political ploy.
So I have to wonder whether Obama is capable of dealing with more than one thing at a time? Perhaps he will be dealing with multiple items in that, while visiting with his ailing grandmother, Barry will also be obtaining a more-convincing “birth certificate” for Mr. Berg and his lawsuit?
Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: And Then It Was Ten . . .
Obama 51.6%, McCain 42.0%
Of course, the Ministry of Propaganda may want to coordinate their news releases with the other news outlets that are claiming that it’s dead even…
The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.
Ok, so which is it? And what about the 10%+ “undecideds”?
I guess my thoughts are that neither party’s candidates should write their concession speech nor prematurely plan their victory party based on these shoddy poll numbers.
If Barack Hussein Obama is such an intellectual (as we’re constantly told by his supporters) then answering a question that any eighth-grader could answer in a single sentence shouldn’t be that difficult.
It seems, though, that Barry was asked a simple question that he couldn’t answer, although he did manage to speak for several minutes without answering it (to be fair, about one third of that time was consumed by the utterance of “uh…” and “umm…”). Just watch for yourself.
I guess it’s not good for your campaign to admit being pro baby-killer.
Check out this video pointing out links between Barack Hussein Obama and Raila Odinga. For those that don’t follow Kenyan politics, Odinga is a radical socialist that has apparently usurped the legitimately-elected president and instigated vicious ethnic cleansing in Kenya.
After you view this, just ask yourself again if you’re sure that Obama is the man that you want in the Oval Office.
