Obama wasn't there when they played that piece. And he can no more disown [fill in the rest].

Obama's people have been quite good at getting crowds and favorable media treatment. Experts actually.

They'll get arenas but use only a fraction of the space - and the media reports that it was a full deck.

They'll get monster crowds, but ignore that the crowds were there to see a concert minutes earlier.

And the media willingly laps this stuff up.

Free concerts. Free healthcare. Almost too good to be true.

Theme song? Check this out:

January 14, 2008 -- PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barack Obama claims to run a clean campaign, but someone in his camp took a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate's theme song.

As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z's "99 Problems" was blaring. In it, Jay raps, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one."

Some listeners took it as a not-so-sly reference to Hillary.

"We didn't know he used that," a shocked Clinton spokesperson said.

Obama has no problem admitting he's a rap fan.

re: #94 HDrepub

It is a quisling thing to think that we must be popular in the world.

The differences between McCain, Hillary, and Obama:

John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama were walking down a DC street when they came upon a homeless man.

John McCain gave the man his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the man.

Hillary was very impressed, so when they came upon another homeless man, she decided to help. She walked over to him and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into John McCain's pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless man $5.

When they came upon yet another homeless man, Barack to him to "have hope...change is coming..." and gave him nothing.

That's the difference!

Well, how many did he draw here in Florida?

Who was playing here?

Learned so well from George Bush

The word “silently” is instructive, since it bears on the central liability of the Bush presidency: a horrid inability to communicate. This was so bad that there effectively was no bully pulpit under this president. That failure is not just Bush’s but his entire staff. They allowed the opposition to define the debate and public perception, particularly on Iraq and the Middle East.

re: #124 JammieWearingFool

Why, that would be (gasp!) negative campaigning!

And that's why I could never have a career in writing McCain's political commercials:

"My friends, I'm John McCain, and I want your vote for President. I can promise you nothing, except that I will bring all my experience and work ethic to the job, and that I will respect and defend the Constitution of our great country. You can expect me to be straightforward and honest with you.

You may have heard my opponent calling me old, befuddled, or "George Bush's third term". My friends, my worthy opponent is in political diapers. He makes more mistakes when he goes off-script than a cheap dry cleaner. He can say less with more words than anyone I have ever heard, and I have been in the US Senate.

For four years after the invasion, Basra was under the control of British forces, but they were unable to contain the violence and withdrew in September last year.

I was under the impression that pressure to turn over provinces to Iraqis was why they pulled out of the city proper and turned security over to the expatriot Iranians in Basra. In keeping with this thread... the Communist News Network strikes again.

re: #155 Fat Tone

Aint that the truth

From wikipedia's entry on the Decembrist Revolt

To some extent, the Decembrists were in the tradition of a long line of palace revolutionaries who wanted to place their candidate on the throne, but because the Decembrists also wanted to implement a liberal political program, their revolt has been considered the beginning of a revolutionary movement. The uprising was the first open breach between the government and liberal elements, and it would subsequently widen.

The last part says it all

re: #158 bulwrk

It's the Republicans reputation that needs rehab. I honestly don't see McCain,given his past record of helping Conservatives snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,being the person to get the job done for the GOP.

The historical Decemberists were absolutely the precursor revolutionaries that brought us the Bolsheviks, Stalin and tens of millions of people killed.

The band's name is no accident. Most left coast lefties are too history challenged to even know and too foolish to care.

re: #159 unrealizedviewpoint

Or for how intelligent we American's are that can see through spin.

Aye. Trust the People.

I don't know if you've ever read the Federalist Papers, but they are somewhat heavy reading. And when you realize the intended audience for these were average newspaper readers, i.e., the masses, to convince them of the virtues of each facet of the new Constitution, you realize what our founding fathers thought of every day people. They did NOT consider them people who needed tending or to be taken care of. The thought the man on the street equal to the task of running a nation, and his own life to boot.

The respect for the average person's mind drips from every word. This was not 'talking down,' propagana, or 'advertising' copy.

re: #168 Silhouette

Aye. Trust the People.

I don't know if you've ever read the Federalist Papers, but they are somewhat heavy reading. And when you realize the intended audience for these were average newspaper readers, i.e., the masses, to convince them of the virtues of each facet of the new Constitution, you realize what our founding fathers thought of every day people. They did NOT consider them people who needed tending or to be taken care of. The thought the man on the street equal to the task of running a nation, and his own life to boot.

The respect for the average person's mind drips from every word. This was not 'talking down,' propagana, or 'advertising' copy.

McCain mostly believes this I think. Except for when he went off the rails accusing Romney of calling for an Iraq withdrawal, thinking we'd believe this.

re: #154 Killian Bundy

Good point. His socialism is getting less stealthy and more in your face all the time, isn't it?

re: #170 rosterguard99

I wonder, is it racist to question Obama on his decision to have a band known for playing the USSR anthem open for his campaign rally?

Not only is it racist, it is a crime against democracy itself.

It is also distracting and unhelpful to Michelle's children.

I once heard Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls claim that "between Michael Jordan and me, we scored 66 points tonight".

He neglected to mention that MJ scored 62 of them.

Charles, I see you're playing one of the Decemberists's CDs. What do you think?

This whole notion that you can smear me and my kids by associating me with my associations with bands who associate themselves with the Soviet Union, who had the power to destroy the world 57 times, is ... uh ... offensive, and ... um ... not helpful when I'm just trying to unite this country behind a message of hope.

Like the old soviet era press releases. They would race a US car, 2 cars in the race, the Soviet headline would read "Soviets come in 2nd, US next to last".

Just been listening to the Decemberists...Typical whiny, college radio, art student music with nasally vocals.

Not my cup of tea.

re: #98 formercorpsman

They should be running a commercial. Video of the group's most repulsive aspects, parse the rally crowd thereafter, Obama lifting Reagan from a previous speech, and the audio of Reagan stating "tear down this wall".

problem #1 - todays Rebuplican party has many things - balls ain't one of them

There may be musical groups campaigning for him for all I know.

Excepting Charles Johnson, it's a shame so many musicians who grew rich off folks like some of you here who buy their stuff, are so anti-American.

Linda Ronstadt, for example--you broke my heart! After singing those 30's Nelson Riddle tunes, I was sure you were more of a 1940s, WWII America-defending sweetheart class act but NOOOOOoooooo!

The band's name is The Decemberists. The revolutionaries were called the Decembrists. Not the same. Of course, the band could be illiterate (of history).

The Decemberists' musical and lyrical aesthetics frequently prompted critics to compare them to Neutral Milk Hotel.

The Nuclear Baby is real, folks. Didn't you read the article?

The chapter title sounds like something from the
darkest minds of Hollywood, but this is far from
fiction, it’s 100% true.
This nuclear baby was conceived September 12,
2006 and just as with a woman with child, nine
months later the delivery is due, which will bring
us to June 12, 2007. This nuclear baby will actually
kill one-third of man over a fourth part of the earth
in and around the great River Euphrates. This
Prophecy was written over 2,000 years ago, just after
the One called the Savior was killed in Yerusalem
on a stake, which was first prophesied almost 4,000
years before it occurred.
Both Yerusalem and the Temple were destroyed
after the sacrifice of the Savior. Mount Zion was
plowed like a field. There was not left one stone
upon another for anyone to see thereafter that a
city ever stood in that place.
All of these events are in the pages of history for
anyone to verify, proving the truthfulness of the
Inspired Prophecies in The Book of Yahweh.
The nuclear baby is a part of another Prophecy
showing the actual end of man’s governments of
and by the people. That Prophecy shows us the last
seven years, starting with the confirmation of the
seven-year peace plan. In this Prophecy we are given
the actual name of the Prime Minister of Israel
(Rabin), who, Prophecy shows, would be the one
with whom the seven-year plan was confirmed.
