Obama tried to sway Iraqis on Bush deal

At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn't be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.

Mr. Obama's conversations with the Iraqi leaders, confirmed to The Washington Times by his campaign aides, began just two weeks after he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination in June and stirred controversy over the appropriateness of a White House candidate's contacts with foreign governments while the sitting president is conducting a war.

It was a comment made in jest. The GOP has the funds to provide a 30 minute prime time video but whats the point. The Ombamanics are under the influence of the hyponobama. The ROI on this type of venture just doesn't seem to me to be a good one.

The money would be better spent on 30 second ads rebutting what ever drivel the Barry 30 minute "sham-wow" ad comes up with, running every hour until the 4th of November.

Just my armature campaign thinking.

Great, a new thread already for the financial crisis. I really can't deal with that right now.

Hugh Hewitt was fantastic on Larry king live last night - he brilliantly made the case against BHO on the Ayers story in all of its ramifications.

Without resorting to undue drama or hysterics, Hewitt simply lined up the facts and the history to let the listener/viewer reach his/her own conclusions.

At the end, he posed a simple question to a panelist - a Dem female congresswoman from Florida - about Obama's connection to Ayers, a question that could have been answered with a simple yes or no answer.

The answer was as you might have guessed- the 'congress person' launched into an immediate and hateful attack against Gov Palin and effectively, McCain's bad judgment in deliberately selecting such an unqualified VP nominee.

It was breathtaking to watch the overt evasion.

They get giddy at the thought of America knocked off the "greatest country" pedestal. For whatever reason, evil, jealousy, stupidity....etc.

We all you f*ckers, now that our economy is taking a nosedive EVERYONE is affected. While our economy struggles so do the economies of other major markets. China, Russia, Europe.

I don't know why, but your Philly street kid remark reminds me of a story my dear departed grandmother told me . . .

My uncle (her son) and my mom used to play together on the streets of the Bronx. Some bigger kid came up and started pushing around my uncle, who was a little small for his age. My mom, 5 years younger than my uncle, got really mad and punched the kid in the mouth and gave him a fat lip.

Later that evening, the father & that kid came knocking at my grandmother's apartment. The father demanded to see the kid who hit his son. My grandmother produced my mother - all of 8 years old.
The father looked at his son and yelled, "You let yourself get hit by a GIRL?"

Nana said he was slapping the kid up the side of the head down the hall and out of the building, scolding him along the way.

Any moral to the story?

Maybe that street punks can get taken out by girls? Maybe that street punks get what's coming to them in the end? Maybe that Soros will slap The One all the way down the hall when he loses in November - "how could you lose to a girl?"

Maybe it's just a funny story . . . or not.

Second, willful blindness in the art world--which you would think would be a serious professional problem. Check out the third comment down.

This quote from that third comment caught my eye:

"Interestingly Gordon Brown, PM of the UK said "we are all socialists now."
No source for it - but hey, I know that Gord - and thats exactly what he wants us all to become. He's doing his utmost in the UK - betcha anything he'll meet B0 have a little private advisory chat with him ...

Has there been a font change in here?

re: #126 Spider Mensch

it's a simple thing really why gas here is cheap..drive up the NJ turnpike around exit 12 to 13, all those large buildings with all the pipe work and all the large tanks, they're called refineries. gas doesn't have to travel very far to get to the stations. less time to transport = savings at the pump. and don't call us sob's either.

SOB was meant purely in jest, I assure you. Beyond that, yeah very little transport costs.

re: #118 beblebrox

I know. 1st time i was there 19 years ago with my soon to be ex wife, i was very uncomfortable. the inlaws live in deep, deep South Jersey: Vineland/Millville.

Yeah, that is deep South. Real estate was cheap last time we looked (at the height of the bubble), but property taxes suck. We looked at a new development in Sicklerville, you were basically subsidizing really shitty schools and neighborhoods.

Hell, our stock market collapse in 1929 helped bring on the Great Depression. At that time people didn't really think of America as a superpower or the economic engine of the world. Europe with its empires was still at the center of things.

re: #117 bellamags

Over the years, I (and many others) have concluded that some Americans (I use the term loosely) and most of the rest of the world would love to see America go into a financial collapse. They get giddy at the thought of America knocked off the "greatest country" pedestal. For whatever reason, evil, jealousy, stupidity....etc.

We all you f*ckers, now that our economy is taking a nosedive EVERYONE is affected. While our economy struggles so do the economies of other major markets. China, Russia, Europe. Our economic systems are so closely knit now because of computers and the ease of overseas investments, ease of travel and the "shrinking" of our world, you better be careful of what you wish for.

Acts of Gord

There are some customers that Gord will try not to waste any more time on and tell them to hit the road. Sometimes politely, sometimes not. And it's cute how they often say they aren't coming back. Oh no! Someone I'm telling to get the hell out will never return! What will Gord ever do?

PUMAs for McCain
Obama thugs infiltrated their convention and, just like the ACORN people, stole the election through fraud. They are pissed off.
They have been instructed, if polled, to say Obama..but they will vote for McCain

Maybe that street punks can get taken out by girls? Maybe that street punks get what's coming to them in the end? Maybe that Soros will slap The One all the way down the hall when he loses in November - "how could you lose to a girl?"

Maybe it's just a funny story . . . or not.

Oddly, it isn't south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The M-D Line takes a southward jog to go between Maryland and Delaware. Thus, you are both north and east of the Mason-Dixon Line. Basically, the M-D Line separates the holdings of Lord Calvert and William Penn, as Delaware was a part of the grant to William Penn.

Well Charles, you'd be proud me. I finally bought new tires (Specialized Hemisphere) and tubes for my 20-year-old GT mountain bike yesterday, after talking about doing it for two years. Next up is a major tune-up, which will run $100, plus probably new cables and chain.

I love those signs with how many moose accidents have occurred.
Mt. Washington is so beautiful. Was there in '93 Labor Day weekend with my former fiance.

Fitzmas in October?

The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case.

Today, it was announced that ACORN is being investigated in 10 states....

Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”

The “Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the SoetorObama camp has received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on this past Monday.

Cuz, I upticked all your posts cause I like ya :)

re: #104 colin nelson

I got into a discussion with an Obamanite about Ayers too. He insisted it was a "smear tactic"

Him: "It's just a smear tactic. If it was so important, why didn't they bring it up before now?"

Me: "They did bring it up before, but the pro-Obama media has ignored it."

Him: "It's just a smear tactic. Obama must know thousands of people, so what if one of them did something wrong years ago. It has nothing to do with Obama."

Me: "Ayers isn't just a random acquanitance, he helped Obama get several jobs, he even helped launch Obama's political career. And Ayers is unrepentant. Even after Ayres said he felt he didn't bomb enough, Obama continued to associate with him."

Him: "It's just a smear tactic. What about McCain? He's pals with Bush and Bush is the real terrorist!"

How can you get through that? The man has installed an impervious wall in his head.

Pent up "verbiage"? How about pent up "Wit and wisdom" wouldn't that be better, albeit perhaps not as accurate?!

re: #182 Kenneth
Good afternoon Kenneth - WHY do you do that - get into a discussion with an Obamaniac? Ya know it's just gonna wind up frustrating you!

re: #182 Kenneth

How can you get through that?

You don't. Take the time you would argue with him and use it to convince an "undecided"

I'm beginning to wonder, what's the point of even opening the markets at this point? It seems to just be making things worse. Corrections are all well and good but this has gone beyond all rationality. Maybe we should just close them for a month. Get these people to look around them and see that we still live on an abundant planet with billions of hardworking people with the ability to transform raw resources into usable goods.

OK - moving up thread!

well here it is afternoon already! Hey everybody. I can't do long threads. Guess I need a new computer.
Anyhow, did ya see this

CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

"The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, 'Yup,' and then they say, 'Can you just sign up again?' " he said.

they did this last time also. So why in the name of anything good and holy can these votes be counted? I mean, seems to me that anyone that registers and votes before Nov 4th should have their vote held until it can be researched to be valid. What's so hard about that?

re: #188 Beach Lover

There's some good news. A judge has ordered the Ohio Secretary of State to match new registrations against DMV and Social Security databases. Whether she'll comply is another story, but contempt of court is a fairly serious matter.

Hey, {Beachie}!
What up, gf?
:D

re: #189 doppelganglander

There's some good news. A judge has ordered the Ohio Secretary of State to match new registrations against DMV and Social Security databases. Whether she'll comply is another story, but contempt of court is a fairly serious matter.

The fact that they registered and voted on the same day makes it even more crucial to verify those voters.

Shit, did I come back to a dead thread? I didn't think I was gone that long!

re: #184 realwest

Hi Real, I hope you're doing all right.

I don't get frustrated, I get a kick out of disturbing their closeted brains. The moonbat inquestion was in the process of brainwashing another guy when I interrupted him. The other guy looked shocked when I described how Ayers & Obama worked closely for years. He wan't aware. So I think I might have openned his mind a crack.

Okay, I'll turn out the light and go upstatirs.

re: #193 Kenneth

Don't count on it. I have relatives like that and they refuse to open their minds.

re: #195 redstateredneck

Yeah at almost 2500 comments, that overnight thread was too foreboding.

I hope Reszko spills his guts to Fitzpatrick soon so we can see some fireworks over at BHO Central.

Kenneth: there is still lots of time and as we know the MSM can turn on a dime so, I am optimistic that they will have to cover the real news that Lieberman said that the Obama/Ayers connection needs to be brought out and discussed.

Even the "old gray lady" (NYT) cannot ignore that!
