Taking a trip down memory lane.......
Obama was hot..... he
Analyzed, calculated and distorted....... everything else was manipulated.
I saw that in the primaries......... Operational goal was to keep media exposure off Clinton.
No debates....... No interviews....... (he was on everything...... Larry King, The View, Meet the Press, This Week With George, Jon Stewart, Anderson 360, Hard Ball....... etc... etc.... at noisome. Much like it is
now.... he is still in campaign mode.
C-Span aired Obama's Rock crowds at prime time
and Clinton's town halls in the dead of the night.
L.A. at 2:00 AM. I am a night owl, so I caught them.
Clinton had to walk into the lions den of Fox.......
O'Factor, Pretty gutsy for a Democrat.... she left respected and did well.
Obama only won 3 of the last 10 Primaries and he was walking around like it was all over.
Walk like a duck, act like a duck....... must be a duck psychology.
In the end, she won the popular vote, the Electoral vote and was ahead of both McCain and
Obama in the polls to win.
Neither one pasted the magic line of state delegates..... almost does not count.

Neither one pasted the magic line of state delegates..... almost does not count.
Super Delegates were not allow independent vote....... no real vote at the convention, no real ballet. Attorneys met and papers were signed on the dotted line weeks before the Convention. Super Delegates were pledges before the convention and could switch so it was necessary to prevent that. Careers were put on the line, intimidation,
promised positions, and money... bribes .....
Nancy Pelosi used $400,000 of her personal PAC money and Obama used $750,000 of his.
The American People Picked Clinton.
The Democrat Party Picked Obama.
It was not even close to a Democratic election.
No wonder Obama kept quiet about Iran.
We are hypocrites.
General Election............... same techniques ......... He bought up all the air time..... he smothered us with a 30 minute, prime time infra commercial... aired on 7 networks no less. He out spent McCain 10-1 .......... He out spent Clinton 4-1.
Obama, $750 Million to McCain's $84 Million.
Obama promised public funding, written and oral but backed out. McCain promised and didn't back out.
McCain and Clinton released their donation list, but
Obama didn't and didn't have to. McCain had to have
an audit, not Obama..... he didn't accept public funding.
Please remember public funding is not tax payers money, it is volunteer money donated at the time we file our
taxes to prevent a wealthy elitist from buying the Presidency. See how that works?
We can kiss election reform good by.
Obama was going to win this come hell or high water .......... honestly or not.
ACORN was his insurance.
$800,000 dollars to ACORN to hire 13,000 part time employees to go into the poor community to register voters.....(that is good) but they were telling them to vote for Obama and when he is President, he will send them $2,000.
And, you remember the registration fraud.
His stimulus bill had a rewarding $5 Million dollars so
ACORN can manage his Community Organizing projects they passed..... Volunteer Service and Youth Service.
No jobs there, just scumbag, criminal elements with
their hands all over these projects.
With all this power he should have won the election with a greater margin.
Obama had Edwards endorse him the morning after Clinton's power win in WV to take media coverage away from the Primary win...... and he did a massive Victory Speech in Iowa after the polls closed in KY,at night, again her power win...... again media blitz on him.
All, of his endorsements have been spaced for impact......... Analyzed, calculated and manipulated.
Anything to win....... and anything you want to hear.......... and what ever it cost.......... he was
loaded........ to buy the Presidency.
He has already had at least 3 fund raisers, there is
term two to buy.

Obama the Brand vs. Obama the Man
A Democrat Says It Aint Pretty
by Lynette Long
I am a feminist, a mother, a Democrat and an ardent Hillary Clinton
supporter and I am voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin on November 4.
I want to start by saying something about the Democratic Primary. First
let me say that I have a Master's Degree in mathematics and I am the
author of 14 math books. I'm a numbers girl and I naturally calculate and
extrapolate numbers in my head, so my analysis of the Democratic primary
process spills out of that natural gift.
The primary process consisted of fourteen caucuses and thirty-nine
primaries. Obama lost only one out of fourteen caucuses yet he lost
twenty-one out of thirty-nine primaries. You don't have to be a
mathematician to realize something smells fishy. I first noticed something
was wrong when I watched the returns from Texas come in. Texas is unique
in the Primary world because it has both a primary and a caucus -
affectionately called the Texas Two-Step. Hillary Clinton won the primary
by four points, yet she lost the caucus which was held on the same day by
twelve points. That's a sixteen point swing with the same pool of voters
on the same day.

Obama the Brand vs. Obama the Man
A Democrat Says It Aint Pretty
by Lynette Long
I am a feminist, a mother, a Democrat and an ardent Hillary Clinton
supporter and I am voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin on November 4.
I want to start by saying something about the Democratic Primary. First
let me say that I have a Master's Degree in mathematics and I am the
author of 14 math books. I'm a numbers girl and I naturally calculate and
extrapolate numbers in my head, so my analysis of the Democratic primary
process spills out of that natural gift.
The primary process consisted of fourteen caucuses and thirty-nine
primaries. Obama lost only one out of fourteen caucuses yet he lost
twenty-one out of thirty-nine primaries. You don't have to be a
mathematician to realize something smells fishy. I first noticed something
was wrong when I watched the returns from Texas come in. Texas is unique
in the Primary world because it has both a primary and a caucus -
affectionately called the Texas Two-Step. Hillary Clinton won the primary
by four points, yet she lost the caucus which was held on the same day by
twelve points. That's a sixteen point swing with the same pool of voters
on the same day.
Almost four million people participated in both the primary and the
caucuses. In a poll with only 700 participants, the margin of error is
usually 3 or 4, then in a primary and a caucus, with millions of
participants, a sixteen point swing would be highly unlikely, very highly
unlikely. What's even more astounding is that Obama came out five pledged
delegates ahead in a state she won. After questioning the likelihood of
the Texas two step results, I decided to analyze the rest of the caucus
results.
Washington State, Nebraska, and Idaho also held a primary and a caucus and
the results were even more divergent than Texas results. In Washington
State, Clinton did thirty-two points better in the primary than the
caucus, but all delegates were based on the caucus only. In Nebraska,
Clinton did thirty-four points better in the primary than the caucus, but
the delegates again were based only on the caucus results. And finally in
Idaho, Clinton lost the caucus by 62 points but lost the primary by 19
points. And again delegates were awarded based only on the caucus results.
The divergent results in all four of these contests were partially the
result of the disenfranchisement that is inherent in the caucus process
since the elderly, mothers of school aged children and shift workers are
less likely to attend caucuses. But they are also the result of voter
fraud intentionally perpetrated by the Obama campaign and voter
intimidation by Obama supporters.
The result is that the primary was stolen from Senator Clinton. Even
without factoring in the caucus results, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama
were only 4 pledged delegates apart at the end of the primary process.
Obama, Pelosi, and other senior Democrats paid superdelegates to cast
their votes for Obama. Clearly the will of the people was ignored. The
Selection of Obama over Hillary Clinton by the Democratic hierarchy was a
miscarriage of justice and my reason for my original contact with the
McCain Campaign.
After the last Democratic Primary was over and it was clear Senator
Clinton was not going to get the Democratic nomination, I and a small
group of Clinton supporters met with Senator McCain. I personally
explained to Senator McCain that women comprise well over half of the
population, yet you will not see a single picture of a woman on paper
currency.
Women are underrepresented in every branch of government and there has
never been a female president or vice president. I personally asked
Senator McCain to choose a woman for the Vice Presidential slot and to
increase the number of women in the cabinet and on the Supreme Court.
Senator McCain listened respectfully to my request. Little did I know then
that he heard me and the millions of women of this country who have gone
unrepresented in the Executive branch of government for far too long.
When I made similar requests of the Obama campaign, I was laughed at by
the canvassers outside my home, told there weren't enough qualified women
by a member of his Finance Committee, and asked by a member of a policy
committee why I was making such a stupid request. Gender is the most
fundamental human characteristic. The first comment made when a child is
born is either, "It's a girl" or "It's a boy." From that second on, boys
and girls live in parallel universes in the same culture. You can't learn
what it is to be a woman, unless you are one. You can't have a government
essentially devoid of women that knows what's best for women. You can't
legislate for women, without women.
But by choosing Governor Palin as his running mate, Senator McCain
acknowledged that men never can fully know what it is like to be a woman,
a mother, a daughter, a sister - things Governor Palin knows all too well.
Senator McCain chose the second only bi-gender ticket in American history
reinforcing his image as a maverick. Choosing a Vice-President was the
first significant decision Senator McCain and Senator Obama had to make.
Senator Obama talks about change but picked a running mate who is part of
the Washington establishment. Senator McCain's choice speaks for itself.
Obama is a brand just like any other brand. Obama the Brand has a logo, a
tag line, and a song. But Obama the man is not the same as Obama the
Brand. Obama the Brand talks about new style politics, while Obama the man
used Chicago style politics in every election. Obama the brand is for
women's rights while Obama the man pays the women in his office 77 cents
on the dollar compared to men. And Joe Biden pays women 73 cents on the
dollar. Obama the brand is pro-Israel, Obama the man is not. Obama the
brand touts leadership while Obama the man voted present 130 times in the
US Senate. Obama the Brand claims change, while Obama the man picks a
Washington Insider as his running mate. Obama the Brand is a post-racial
candidate while Obama the man plays the race card at every turn, listens
for 20 years to the racial teachings of Rev. Wright, and makes
contributions exclusively to Trinity United Church of Christ, the NAACP
and Care Africa. Obama the man and Obama the brand are not one in the
same.
I have given my loyalty to the Democratic Party for decades. My party,
which is comprised primarily of women, has not put a woman on a
presidential ticket for 24 years. My party was disrespectful to all women
when they refused to nominate my candidate, Hillary Clinton, for president
or vice president, even though she received more votes than any other
Democratic or Republican candidate in history. My party stood silently by
as Hillary Clinton was eviscerated by the sexist attacks of the mainstream
media. My party's candidate was mute when Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father
Pfleger openly mocked Senator Clinton from the pulpit of Trinity United
Church of Christ. My party's candidate was silent when the rapper Ludacris
released a new song calling Hillary a bitch. My party's candidate chose
Larry Summers, the former President of Harvard, who said women can't do
science and math. Well here I am Mr. Summers, let's talk. Neither my party
nor its candidate has demonstrated in this election that they hold women
in high esteem.
When it comes to women, sixteen is a special number. Did you ever hear the
song 16 candles? Or the phrase "Sweet sixteen and never been kissed"?
Eight plus Eight is sixteen, four times four is sixteen, and 2 x 2 x 2 x
2. But sixteen is special for other reasons.
* Guess what percentage of the members of the House of Representatives
are women?
* Guess what percentage of the members of the Senate are women?
* Guess what percentage of the governors are women?
* Guess what percentage of equity partners in Law Firms are women?
* Guess what percentage of Science Professors at MIT are women?
* And guess what percentage of US Presidents or Vice-presidents were
women?
* Not 16.
How can having a country composed of 52% women with only 16%
representation be fair? How can it accurately represent the will of the
people? In fact, the United States ranks 69^th in the world with regard to
women in government.
Sarah Palin is good for women. She has kept the debate about women in
government and feminism alive. She is helping us define a new brand of
feminism that unites both Republican and Democratic women. She has a
chance to put a sledge hammer to the ceiling that Hillary Clinton put
eighteen million cracks in. I happened to be on an Alaskan Cruise when
Governor Palin was nominated for Vice-President. When we docked in
Ketchikan my Blackberry was buzzing away with emails shouting, "It's a
girl." I thought, "Who is a girl?" My friends are too old to be pregnant
and I didn't think my daughter would hold out on me. As soon as I stepped
on-shore, my tour guide told me their governor, Sarah Palin was the VP
pick. I can testify here today, that every person I met in Alaska loved
her. Alaskans are proud of their Governor.
I heard many people say they don't think Sarah Palin is ready to be one
heartbeat away from the presidency since Alaska has only 750,000 people.
Let's get this straight. Sarah Palin is only one of only fifty governors
in the entire country. If Alaska were a country, it would be the twentieth
largest country in the world. The unique topography, economy, population,
and climate of Alaska all make Alaska a challenging state to govern. Home
of the Alaska pipeline, Alaska hosts the majority of our oil resources and
some of the largest fiscal projects in the country. Alaska is home to
indigenous peoples and remote towns that are not on the electrical grid.
Alaska is the only state in the Arctic climate zone and is profoundly
impacted by global warming. Alaska is home to diverse wildlife and,
consequently, management issues. International relations are a major issue
in Alaska and I'm not talking about cab drivers. Alaska shares a border
with Canada and ten miles across the Bearing Strait is Russia.
Consequently it has a standing National Guard. I don't want to hear Sarah
Palin is only the Governor of Alaska. There is nothing "only" about
Alaska.
I do not agree with Senator McCain and Governor Palin on all the issues,
but I don't agree with any candidate on all the issues. I am emphatically
pro-choice. Being pro-choice doesn't mean I am pro-abortion. I would not
want to trade places with any woman trying to decide whether or not to
terminate a pregnancy or any mother trying to advise her teenage daughter
on the same issue. It is not a choice most women make lightly. But even
though I will defend a woman's right to choose, I will not surrender by
vote to the Democratic Party out of fear of losing that choice. I will not
vote for a Democratic candidate I feel is unfit to lead, just to protect
Roe V. Wade. The Democratic Party has blackmailed and bludgeoned women
with Roe v. Wade for decades nullifying their power. Women's votes cannot
belong to a single party, because if they do we are hostage to that party.
Women make up 52% of the population and 56% of the electorate. If
Democratic and Republican women ban together we can elect any candidate or
pass any bill. We can change the world. No one knows what is going to
happen during the next four years. In the recent past, the challenges to
each President have been enormous.
When he took office, Harry Truman did not know that he would have to
decide whether or not to drop the atomic bomb on Japan.
Lyndon Baines Johnson didn't know that on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther
King would be assassinated, propelling the country into racial unrest.
George Walker Bush didn't know that on September 11, 2001, terrorists
would wage the greatest attack on US soil.
We need a President who is prepared to lead on day one - ready to handle
any attack, any crisis, any financial emergency.
I cannot vote based on POLITICAL PROMISES and POLITICAL PANDERING. But I
can vote based on PRICIPLES and PATRIOTISM. In Senator McCain and Governor
Palin, I find two people with personal integrity and a love of their
county --- individuals who not only talk the talk but walk the walk. I can
work with that. I will vote for McCain-Palin. In fact, I've decided to try
to win one vote a day for the McCain-Palin ticket. My new personal mantra
is, "A vote a day keeps Obama away."
Make no mistake about it, we are in a war. I am not talking about the
Korean conflict where our soldiers literally stand shoulder to shoulder
with the troops from South Korea starring at the demilitarized zone - the
most heavily armed strip of land in the world. I am not talking about
Afghanistan where our troops search for Osama Bin Laden and the other
terrorists who perpetrated nine-eleven. I am not talking about Iraq, where
over 100,000 of our young men and women are embroiled in a war.
I am talking about a war on our own soil, a fight for our way of life.
This war pits socialism against capitalism. Barack Obama may call it
"income redistribution" but socialism by any other name does not smell
sweet. If we lose this war, what we know as our way of life will
disappear. This is a war between Barack Obama and John McCain. You are the
foot soldiers in this war. Are you willing to fight for economic freedom
or do you want to live in a socialist country?
Our country needs you. Join me on Election Day and save our country.
