Hasn't this Jackass declared himself the winner already, and King of the Fuckin' Universe, as well?

He certainly HAS the ears of a Jackass, that is for certain!

As I commented this morning:

“You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

psst... Barry... you're not the President

of course not, he was talking about the wig.

“You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

What a stupid comment. The "dollar bill" has one President on it. Did he mean all of our money? Because a couple of those guys were never President.

Wow- he doesn't know jack about history or American currency, apparently.

He really has elevated himself to the position already, hasn't he? What arrogance.

B-HO has himself so insulated from any negative references in the MSM that they are genuflecting at his appearances, grateful to be breathing the very air that B-HO breathes, and thankful to the Jackass god that they are alive at the very moment of B-HOs ascendancy to the Throne atop the White House.

I forget which bill was yellow-backed and which was red, but the money was color-keyed--which, by the way, is something foreigners often complain of about our current bills, since most of the rest of the world still does color-key bills by denomination.

re: #150 6pat6

Size and color are the keys to most non-US currency - the smaller the denomination, the smaller the bill. This is to accommodate the blind. Blind people in the US rightly bitch about the uniformity of our currency. That is why there is one LARGE number, front and back, on new US bills.

Which doesn't really help the blind, but is of some use to sight impaired. I like the idea of tweaking the size.

Gallup poll update: Barack Obama and John McCain essentially dead even

Today, the Gallup daily tracking poll -- the rolling average of voter interviews conducted, in this case, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -- shows the race at almost a dead heat. Obama had a statistically insignificant one-percentage-point lead over McCain, 45% to 44%.

Cost of publicity tour = 1.2 Million Dollars
Cost of daily poll updates = $12,000.

re: #125 jcw46

I don't know about everyone else but I'm not interested in putting 1-10 heavy coins in my pocket for the day. Most amount of quarter size coins I can hack is maybe 4-5.

Until they make something smaller and lighter, they're not going to be received well by the public. (IMHO)

I also believe that the shunning of the dollar coins has to do somewhat with trying to put a female on a coin. There just aren't many that are universally recognized as "coin-worthy" in our past and I think there's a backlash on putting a less than fundamental-to-the-country's-history figure on a coin.

just sayin'.

I care less about who's on my currency than about having plenty of it in my pocket for buying toys.

That said, yes, the money we've been making the last few years has been butt-ugly. The new folding money looks like something from a monopoly set, and the dies for the new quarters show that the sculptors are barely able to do profiles in bas relief, and yet they're trying for 3/4 views.

Yeah. I was about to say something similar. I get cranky when this canard is laid out when racial discrimination is talked about.

Look at it this way; WW II was fought because Hitler violated the treaty of Versailles. (He did but there was a lot more at issue).

The civil war was fought over whether more states could be let into the union as slaves states or free states thus allowing the slave owners to gain more political power over the Northeast/Midwest.

Lincoln campaigned on that issue which is why the south took his election to be the slap in the face that it was.

Ludacris Releases Song Attacking Hillary Clinton
Ludacris, rapper and avid supporter of Barack Obama (Obama once claimed to have Ludacris in heavy rotation on his iPod) has released a new song called 'Politics: Obama Is Here' in which he attacks Hillary Clinton as an 'irrelevant bitch'.

Lyrics:
I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated
you never should've doubted him
with a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em
Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it's meant to be
the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!

The Obamanation also misstates the facts because Alexander Hamilton was biracial just like him. So there's a guy who also wasn't President but who was biracial and on our currency. The Obamanation is just plain idiotic and a buffoon and the media would have you believe that they just can't imagine a single joke with the Obamanation as the target, because he is such a lightworker he doesn't do anything remotely stupid or capable of caricature. But as others have pointed out and I agree, the Obamanation again put himself in the category as a present President of the US, who doesn't look like those past Presidents. This is again chutzpah and presumptuous, and may be a reason why his polling numbers precipitously fell eight points since his return from his Mould on World Farce Tour. And in a trifecta, the Obamanation did what he always does when caught in a lie or brazen cynical claim or change of position, he denies that anything of the kind occurred. Since Richard Nixon we haven't seen this kind of pathological lying in a candidate for the highest office in the country.
And I believe even Nixon knew when he was lying, but I don't believe the Obamanation can see that he's lying and with a press corp that seems to be imitating bordello workers on the Obamanation's ranch, it's no wonder he feels he can do this with impunity.

When I saw the wording I thought, how cute, to call duck eggs "embryos", visualizing the common sort of eggs with the usual yolk and white inside. Later on it dawned on me just what they were. Eeek.

There's a lot of racist xenophobic crap out there. But not only has McCain not peddled any of it, he's condemned it. . . . I've seen racism in campaigns before -- I've seen it against Obama in this campaign (more from Democrats than Republicans, at this point, I might add) and I've seen it against McCain in South Carolina in 2000 . . .

It's that nasty McCain playing the race card, poor Obama is only the victim.

Wow, they're all over this.

But Rick Davis, Mr. McCain’s campaign manager, had a snappy answer. “Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck,” he said. “It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.’’

The retort was, we must say, not only contemptible, but shrewd. It puts the sin for the racial attack not on those who made it, but on the victim of the attack.

It also — and we wish this were coincidence, but we doubt it — conjurs up another loaded racial image.

The phrase dealing the race card “from the bottom of the deck” entered the national lexicon during the O.J. Simpson saga. Robert Shapiro, one of Mr. Simpson’s lawyers, famously declared of himself, Johnny Cochran and the rest of the Simpson defense team, “Not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.”

It’s ugly stuff. How about we leave Britney, Paris, and O.J. out of this — and have a presidential campaign?

McCain did not make a racial attack. He "attacked" him for being a "celebrity." Now they accuse McCain of bringing OJ Simpson into it. There will be no end to it. The election won't end it. The inauguration won't end it.

Obama's spokesperson said that what He meant was that "He didn't get here after spending decades in Washington."

Let's look at the "other " presidents who show up on our currency:

Andrew Jackson -- Served in Washington for 6 years as Congressman and Senator from Tennessee.

Abraham Lincoln -- Served one term as a Congressman.

Ulysses Grant -- Declined appointment to be Secretary of War. Assumed his first political office when he was elected President.

George Washington -- Never spent much time in Washington. Washington wasn't even the capitol until he left office. George Washington picked the area that became Washington, DC.

So He is wrong. Our "dollar bill" presidents served a cumulative 8 years in Washington before becoming president, not decades.

Dear Senator Obama:

1. You are not President, until and unless the electorate, the dead, and people's pets vote you so.

2. Even if #1 occurs, you will never achieve the sort of greatness that the men on our currency achieved. By the way, they weren't just put on currency because they were white, the actually, you know, achieved things.

3. I judge you by the content of your character, not the color of your skin. This is bad news for you.

Obama's ENTIRE campaign has been about race. If he wasn't black, he wouldn't be where he is today, the man is totally about the race card. Most of the people I know are voting for him solely because he's black. (Or rather half black, but he seems to want to hide that).

If Obama's campaign keeps up with the race baiting he will ensure a McCain victory. Oh and when he makes his daily dumb remarks followed by a staffer translation (that's not what he said! What he meant was....) It will become the daily gaffaw from pundits and comedians.

Obama, just because you feel that black people are voting for you cause you look black, doesnt mean that white people aren't voting for you cause you look black! Nobody is 'scared' of your blackness. Jesus, he is so racist!

He just cant wrap his mind around the notion that white people care more about what policies would be enacted and what programs he would start to take our money in taxes if he got elected.

Or else he (and the democrats) is trying to make people think that if they don't vote for him, then they are racist because they are scared oh his blackness and that is racist! Good lord, is this what we have been reduced to?

Obama thinks we don't like him because he's black. That doesn't even enter into it. We don't like him and won't vote for him because he is a shallow, ignorant, inexperienced Leftist with zero leadership experience.

There is only one 'dollar bill' and it has George Washington on it.

I'm really glad you're picking up on his racist statements during his speeches, Charles. It's driving me nuts. The racism is that he looks into a crowd of white people and assumes they're looking at the color of his skin.

re: #127 Occasional Reader

This has been discussed here before. My best guess is, no, there won't be riots. But I don't dismiss the possibility out of hand, by any means.

I think there will be riots, and I think Obama is setting America up to suffer a great deal of violence. If he had any shred of maturity and responsibility, he would make it clear that it is wrong to falsely accuse someone of racism, and even more wrong to resort to violence as a response to either real or imagined racism. Instead, he is steadily whipping his followers into a frenzy by implying that if he loses, it will be due solely to white racism. He is doing exactly the thing he should not be doing.

As someone else said earlier in the thread, he's really starting to look like a more sophisticated, more educated Al Sharpton.
