Obama Prepares the Enemies List and the Re-Education Camps

Barack Obama and his campaign have shown their total disregard for American values and the nature of the American political system.  Three newspapers who endorsed his opponent have had their reporter thrown off his campaign plane and their credentials revoked.  The following is an outline of the breaking story:

"PURGE: SKEPTICAL REPORTERS TOSSED OFF OBAMA PLANE
Fri Oct 31 2008 08:39:55 ET

NY POST, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, WASHINGTON TIMES TOLD TO GET OUT... ALL 3 ENDORSED MCCAIN

**Exclusive**

The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states -- and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!

The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs -- and possibly for the inclusion of reporters from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic campaign to become the first black American president.

MORE

Some told the DRUDGE REPORT that the reporters are being ousted to bring on documentary film-makers to record the final days; others expect to see on board more sympathetic members of the media, including the NY TIMES' Maureen Dowd, who once complained that she was barred from McCain's Straight Talk Express airplane.

After a week of quiet but desperate behind-the-scenes negotiations, the reporters of the three papers heard last night that they were definitely off for the final swing. They are already planning how to cover the final days by flying commercial or driving from event to event."

Now that Obama thinks he is going to loose there is not bad treatment that is beneath him for his "enemies".  Everyone in America should know that if Obama is elected, even Richard Nixon will look like a lover of equity and freedom of the press.

Obama's intentis very clear.  Re-educate the reporters and their newspapers and the American people be damned.  He would not be a President of the American people; only of a select few.

Sorry General Powell, It is All About Race!!

Today General Colin Powell endorsed Senator Obama for President over his long time friend and comrade in arms Senator John McCain. Powell went out of his way to emphasis that this was NOT about race, i.e. the fact that Obama is African-American. Sorry General Powell, I do not take you for such a fool as to not realize that not only your endorsement but also this whole campaign is about race. The ironic thing is that we found out that when it comes to race, even in presidential elections, the white man is shortchanged in today politically correct world.
What is truly regrettable is to see this come from you of all people. It actually should not be a surprise. In August of this year, you said to a group of university students that it would be transformational to have the United States elect an African-American as president. That is the exact term you used for your endorsement of Obama, a transformational figure.
You forgot the jokes Obama and his Reverent Wright made about the current Secretary of State Rice and you, African-Americans in a Republican administration. Now you are offered a “position” in the Obama administration. One assumes your son too.
The facts of Powell’s career have now become clear. He has used his white color-blind supporters, Republicans all, until he could join the me too African-American bandwagon. Although I had considered Powell with great admiration, it now becomes clear that he had little depth beyond being Jamaican in the right place at the right time. When he was called upon to make a decision, as he was this week, he did nothing more than mouth the usual “I am black too” honorarium.
He has endorsed Barack Obama, a man who stands for everything Powell has claimed he opposes, solely because they are both “black,” or more brown than the white folks have. Powell turned his back on all the people who stood by him, and his comrades, and made him into the political figure he is today. Now, Powell deserves no more respect as a military man than John Kerry did when he made public claims about his comrades in arms.  Powell's endorsement of McCain's rival was analogous to Kerry lies on Capital Hill on his return from Vietnam.
Powell turned his back on the Presidents who put faith in him: Reagan, Bush One and Bush Two. He left his comrades on the field of battle that he sent as a member of the President’s Cabinet to Afghanistan and Iraq. Finally, he lost track of the honor he owed those who served with him in Vietnam by supporting the one person running for President who needed the support of the Weather Underground members.
Has Powell forgotten who got him out of the mess he achieved as Secretary of State? John McCain did by supporting the surge and making it happen. Has Powell forgotten who undermined the military and what America stands for and has been the supporter of Barack Obama? It was Bill Ayres and his wife Bernadine Dorn. Has General Powell forgotten who undermined his work at the United Nations as Secretary of State? It was Barack Obama.
Every criticism about Iraq that Barack Obama and his cohorts have leveled against President Bush and Senator John McCain also apply to General Colin Powell. Oh! I am sorry one cannot do that. General Powell is black. Therefore, he like his friend Barack gets a pass.
I think it is called the “I am black so don’t blame me for anything” pass.
Republicans made your career and accepted African-Americans for the first time in real positions of power on the national scene. You could not even respect that sufficiently to just keep your mouth shut. It was Republicans, from President Bush’s father to Senator John McCain, who were transformational figures by accepting and placing African-Americans and Hispanics in positions of real power, not make believe power. Democrats placed minorities as heads of HUD or Department of Transportation, not giving serious positions such as national security adviser, Secretary of State, and Attorney General. General Powell, did you forget all these “transformational figures”?
Colin Powell by his endorsement has only shown that he was a disgrace to the uniform he wore and to the men who serve the United States. He it should teach us a lesson: not all military men make good civilian politicians. Powell was a disaster as national security adviser and as Secretary of State. He has shown to be completely useless and as uninspiring as a chipmunk as a civilian.
The fact remains that as a civilian all he wants is to be liked, make money, and find a job for his son. All these petty wants have led a formerly potentially great man to be nothing but an everyday messiah follower.

Obama has Already Began Destroying the World Wide Ecomomy

The very real possibility of a President Obama is wrecking havoc with the world-wide economic system. 
The one question that has not been asked is why is the "bailout" not working and what has changed since late September resulting in the business world essentially giving-up. 
Yes, we did have a problem with the mortgage market, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.  Yes, the problem was being addressed by one presidential candidate, John McCain.  Obama was sitting on the side line checking his Blackberry.  McCain was still even in the national polls and had an electoral advantage.
With the idea of passing the bailout the Dow went up 700 plus points.
When that failed, because of Obama from all sources, the Dow crashed, but recouped 400 plus points the next day.  Ironically this was interpretted as a success for Obama and the Democrats and scored points for them.  The polls started showing favorable electoral maps for Obama.
But even when the final bailout package was passed the Dow kept on sinking.  Today it is down to under 10,000 and sinking.  But not only that, the world wide markets have all crashed.  Why?
The explanation given by the politicians that it takes time for the bailout package money to work it way through the system lacks credibility.  Everyone in the financial markets has already discounted that factor and they know the money is coming.
The big change is that McCain decided to have the Friday debate without a solution to the economic problem.
That singular act gave credibility to the idea that Obama could be president and the polls began to reflect that.  As Obama's positive numbers in the polls increased the world wide markets numbers started going down.
The idea of an Obama presidency is causing the markets to crash and go down.  That is the reason no one knows what the bottom is because it has nothing to do with economic issues and everything to do with political anti-business climate that is expected to come to Washington.  That anti-business climate and anti-economic growth mentality is difficult to discount and consequantly there is not "bottom" to this down fall.
From an economic prespective, if you want to understand what an Obama presidency would look like -- look around you -- the coming world wide recession.

McCain Forgets Main Street

The so-called Federal Wall Street bailout is going to cause Senator McCain to lose this election. Sadly McCain does not seem to understand that in pursuing a goal that is going to go against his ultimate interests and the Nation’s economic welfare. During the process, McCain has fought for the betterment of the American economy while at every turn Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats have thwarted him.
McCain may ultimately win on the bailout but the forgotten American taxpayer will lose.
In the race for the presidency, McCain is not behind because of his debate performance. Both candidates did poorly during the debate's first third, which is when most people watched, when the debate focus was about the economic bailout. Obama’s confusion and avoidance was real; he wants to dodge the tough questions as much as he could and Jim Leherer allowed him to do it. McCain reflects his own conflict between being blamed politically for not boosting the economy and his belief in fairness and justice. There is nothing fair or just about this bailout. Actually quite the opposite: it rewards the incompetent, thieves, and slaps the bill on the backs of the forgotten Americans. On Wednesday, Senator McCain’s vote to support the bailout in the Senate probably seals his fate in the presidential race. Without some dramatic event, he has just handed to Senator Obama the easy victory on economics he could not achieve on his own.
The politicians are talking about “greed” being the problem. That is a meaningless copout and everyone knows it. Greed is one of those words that apply to everyone. Who is not guilty of greed? In addition, most of the time greed is good. The problem here is not greed per se, but specific lies and thievery by some individuals. The lies and thievery worked well for the few financial types at the top and for the socialist comrades (Maxine Waters, Barnie Franks, Chris Dodd, Barak Obama, etc.) who have wanted to re-distribute America to the poor, the downtrodden, and the “un-resident” by using the Nation's mortgage system. This all worked well until the pyramid of cards called the housing bubble collapsed.
This is not a permanent problem; but a temporary aberration.
The only problem is that it exposed the liars and the comrades. The forgotten taxpayers wants fairness and justice metted out to those people first; then address the short fall in credit. Not the other way around which how it is now occurring.
What is so hard about that request?
The American taxpayer wants fairness and justice. They know that once they have turned over more than $700 billion that Wall Street wants they will not have any advantage to achieve justice and fairness. Someone caused this. We know it was partly greed; but it was more a consequence of direct government policy that no one has acknowledged and whose consequence the hard working Americans will be held holding the bag. The American public knows that Senator Chris Dodd the chairman of the committee directly negotiating the bailout is one of the people who got a sweetheart deal on his mortgage and so did Senator Barak Obama among many others (all from Countrywide Financial.) That is just the beginning of the largess to the Senate. Why are these people not being made to pay this money back? Democratic Representative Barnie Frank was in the middle of a long serious relationship with one of the top executive of Freddie Mac, the organization over whom his Committee had oversight authority. Franks’ “partner” developed the mortgage derivative that gave easy mortgages to the “unworthy” and “unkempt” for whom hardworking Americans are now left holding the bag. For whom is Barnie Franks negotiating? During the 2004 Congressional hearings, he specifically pointed out that there was nothing wrong with the accounting and derivative practices of the Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE’s) his lover was running. Neither one of them is paying anything for their bad behavior nor are they sufficiently ashamed to stop acting holier than everyone else.
Where is John McCain when the American people need him?
The American taxpayer wants accountability and assurance that the handing out of our money will result in real changes in the system of the Wall Street Democrats gorging while Main Street Republicans and taxpayers are serving the meal.
The one overriding factor that McCain had going for him is the belief by most Americans (even ones who may not ultimately support him for president), that he would never be part of the fleecing the regular American citizen. That was the agreement of honor that we had with him since his days in the military. He has now lost that trump card. The one remaining outside possibility is that Governor Sarah Palin, in the VP debates, can get it back. It may require her clarification or even repudiation of McCain’s erratic support of the regular American who depended on him.  That is a big burden for her to pull off.
McCain, this is where you let us down: “(Regular Main Street Americans) have not forgotten that just two years ago, in 2006, Fannie Mae was found to have intentionally overstated its earnings by $10.6 billion (that is with a ‘b’) to meet their projected targets. Yet, top executives simply received civil fines, and no criminal charges were ever pursued.” Now these same Democrats and their comrades in Freddie Mac and Wall Street want our support and trust. John it is not there. You were supposed to fight for us against these Democratic thieves. If not you, then who?
Ironically, together with Obama, you ask us to believe that justice and fairness is to be addressed after the money is distributed. When has that ever happened? You will not have control over that, even with your best intentions, and you know it. That will be the case even if by some miracle you win the presidency following your disastrous vote in support of the “bailout” stripped of fairness and justice.
The forgotten American taxpayer, who has worked by the rules, asked for something very simple: solve the economic crisis; but ensure that justice and fairness prevail in the treatment of those who got us here (either the public or private individuals or entities.)
This is the least that the American public deserves.

McCain's Senate Vote Reflects Loosing Campaign

With tonight's vote in the United States Senate, Senator John McCain has effectively ensured his loss to Senator Obama.  Not only did he give the economic play to Obama, he also denied the American taxpayer the support for fairness and honor they had expected from McCain.

The American taxpayer can understand and believe that a bailout is necessary; but, not when all the sweet-heart deals continue for easy mortgages to Senators Dodd, Obama, and Mr. Reins (among many others).  Justice calls for these people to pay the money back.  Bad mortgages were given out to undeserving people just to either boost the Democrats' voting block or to support a changed socialist society.  It is us taxpayers that are left to hold the bag.  Where is the fairness that specifically ends this policy?

Instead we had the Democrats wanting to fund ACORN and La Raza to steal more of the American taxpayer's money.  We would agree to the bailout of $700 billion if there was a Senator McCain to protect our interest in fairness and justice.  The new bailout now has money for "mental health."  Sadly, today McCain has proven to be either incapable or unwilling to side with honor and justice.  Is "mental health" not an earmark?

On Monday he mouthed the same words that Obama did.  "After we give Wall Street $700 billion there will plenty of time to point fingers and find out who and what is culpible."  No taxpayer really believes this.  Once they get their hands on the money there is no leverage for the forgotten American to get justice and fairness again.

McCain and Palin have now given Obama and the Democrats every advantage to hide and protect themselves from the taxpayer's fury.  Even when the House showed guts in voting the plan down, McCain did not have the will to stand with the forgotten American.

It was honor, justice, and fairness that drew most Americans to McCain.  He has now lost that trust of the American taxpayer with this vote in the Senate supporting Wall Street and the socialist practices of the Democrats.
