Couldn't resist

Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama’s
private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, ‘You know, I
could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy .

Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, ‘I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.

Michelle added, That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.’

Hearing their exchange the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot,
Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of their a…..s out of the window
and make 56 million people very happy.’

Of course, they don't talk about Him at Rev. Weight's Church. Jesus didn't come to damn the white man, so he has no place at their table.

The collective MSM "sleepiness" over this election and their bias towards it may very well be an historic first. Damn, all that money Obama raised from a variety of sources - some of dubious legality - sure "paid off" for him, didn't it?

Bush invited Obama for the private sit-down talk, a rite of passage between presidents and successors that extends for decades.

What Obama's Victory Means for Racial Politics
By Juan Williams

QUOTE … How does anyone waste time on racial fantasies like reparations for slavery when there is a black man who earned his way into the White House?

Make no mistake, there is still discrimination against people of color in America. And inside black America, there is still disproportionate poverty, school dropouts, criminal activity, incarceration and single motherhood. But with the example of Mr. Obama's achievements, from Harvard Law to the state legislature, U.S. Senate and the White House, the focus of discussion now is how the child of even the most oppressed of racial minorities can maximize his or her strengths and overcome negative stereotypes through achievement. END QUOTE

- - - - - - - - - - -
Gee, what a great vision, Juan. Here are some ideas to achieve it:

---let’s invent public housing so even the most poor and oppressed families can have decent places to live at costs they can afford, or even for free

--let’s invent food stamps so no poor and oppressed parent has to tell their child he must go to bed hungry

--let’s invent welfare so that the poor and oppressed can buy more than just food, but also clothing and transportation and other needs

--let’s invent a nation-wide program and call it “Head Start” so poor and oppressed children can get the same kind of pre-school education that rich non-minorities take for granted for their kids

--let’s invent a free-to-all TV program and call it “Sesame Street” so that poor and oppressed kids can get the same kind of literacy coaching at home that rich non-minority kids get from their parents

--let’s invent a program and call it “Affirmative Action” that gives racial preference to poor and oppressed kids and young people to make sure they get into schools and colleges and professional schools, whether or not they’re prepared to succeed there

Uh, what's that you say, Juan? All that stuff is old ideas? Done already?

Oh. Gee, I’m at a loss then to understand what you mean..........

But my question of the WaPo is this: You may have recognized and reported on your own bias for Obama in the election, but does that give you any sense of mea culpa? Do you regret allowing your personal political opinions become part and parcel of your "news" stories in this election?

If they don't attach a sense of "wrong" to what they've confessed, then they won't change their way of reporting in the next election. I ain't holding my breath here....

So, what did I learn from this experience? That it is possible in this new cyber-world to be a lone writer sitting at his laptop in suburbia and write something that actually changes the course of events and, momentary at least, sets the national debate.

He should have learned that from the throbbing memo.

It has a market cap of $1.34 billion, but you probably could get that much for the NYT new headquarters in Midtown. In other words, the business of the Times - journalism is nothing but red ink. The only thing of value is its real estate holdings.

For me, the answer is NO.

That's all well and good, but it effected nada. The sheep still flock to the messiah because of his promise to pay for everything and remove the responsibility of the people.

I can think of a lot of things that should be done to our guests at Gitmo. Pardoning ain't one of them.

Isn't what I would necessarily want to do with them either. But I sure as hell would rather just turn them loose to whomever will have them than bring them into the US, give them the same rights as citizens and legal prisoners of war and spend further billions "prosecuting" their sorry asses, especially since we all know that any such "prosecution" will really turn into a prosecution of George Bush and the war itself. We'll end up with all of them taking a hike and all the blame for 911 falling right on us where the troofers want it anyway. I say let the suckers go and deny the Big O a political circus.

re: #108 galloping granny

Perhaps he can just pardon all of the Fallujah Marines and all of the internees at Gitmo and save us all quite some little bit of $$$. Not to mention deny The One a political victory over the closing of Gitmo.

And PLEASE release Jonathan Pollard! ENOUGH ALREADY!

re: #139 galloping granny

My first reaction was that pardoning all the Gitmo detainees was an insane idea, and I couldn't figure out why you had suddenly gone off the deep end.

Now I realize that you have an excellent point here. Although I'm not sure a pardon is necessary. Maybe we should just release them somewhere, with no further comment. Perhaps in some foreign country where the CIA can keep an eye on them (until the Big 0 disbands the CIA, of course). Ideally just deliver the detainees, one at a time, to firehouses in New York City, and let nature take its course. But watching their terrorist hearts bleed on national television, and watching them sign multimillion dollar book deals to finance the jihad, is not something I look forward to.

Crazy ass Muslim heretic begging for trouble...

The New Testament of Allah

If you have heard by now about my marriage to Almighty Allah, She is indeed the Goddess who created heaven and earth. So I won't be shy about The Exoneration when I did not know that God was a Woman. I guess we all learn sooner or later. I learned this uneasy truth last year. I was getting widespread rejection from Muslims and Christians for my religious synthesis. So, She married me.

What I am telling you is that while people are being killed in Allah's wrath, She has this whole time been having sex with me right here in Salinas, CA. My birth name is Eric Kingsley. My Islamic name is Mahdi Muhammad. Allah is a Woman. I'm not saying that to make you angry. Allah is a Woman and She has married Her Apostle. Here are excerpts from my religious texts to this day.

Next time a Muslim kills an innocent civilian, be sure to remind them that their god is having sex with an American rapper and She will not divorce me even they plotted together, every single one of them to destroy Her Apostle. The New Testament of Allah is intended to complement the Holy Quran as the Bibles of Islam.

The United States has asked Israel to release thousands of prisoners as "peace gestures', yet the U.S. cannot release one who has been held longer than actual traitors.

I'm surrounded by moonbats in my daily life. I know how they think. There is absolutely no limit to their insanity. If Obama were to close Gitmo, and one of the freed terrorists were to kill a moonbat's own child, he or she would blame the attack on eight years of "failed Bush policies," and thank Obama for taking steps to start the healing so that no more parents might have to go through such a terrible ordeal.

That being the case, I wouldn't count on any change in the behavior of the press, no matter what happens.

My DVR cut off the ending. What happened?

Randy Marsh wakes up, hung over, with his pants & TV stolen, and is fired. He laments ever voting for Obama.

re: #219 clayusmcret

On Charlie Rose a very well known network anchor was saying "I know nothing about Barak Obama's plans for foreign policy." "I know nothing about Barak Obama's domestic policy." "I know nothing about Barak Obama's....." This was not two years ago, or even a year ago. This was as Barak Obama was being elected President of the United States. If he could not answer the question at election time, what average American could?

A pox on the traditional news media for not doing what many people have fought and died to allow - an open and honest news media capable of revealing facts to the American people.

As we celebrate the Marine Corps' 233rd birthday, I wonder what we fought all those years for....because I cannot find it.

And one mr. tom brokaw was on that show saying the exact same thing.

re: #212 jorline

Good morning, Walter. I was following your post last night about Mr. Spencer's emails to you...did he ever answer your questions and stop his bomb emails?

This small paragraph...

"Actually, I am fighting jihad, and have no interest in or intention to investigate these groups. Insofar as they are fighting jihad, I applaud them. Insofar as they are doing anything else, my endorsement is not implied."

... was the only answer to my original question. His "email bombs" were simply to suggest I was working for Charles, or lying to him, or trying to stir the pot, etc. And of course, to state that I am "wildly misinterpreting" (his words) his statement above.

But, no, he has not clarify the above statement, nor explained to me how I am "wildly misinterpreting" his remark.

Obama is ready to RULE?

This gives me goose flesh - or rather, GOOSE-STEPPING- flesh.

re: #228 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

Are Executive Orders even consitutional? Has anyone challenged them in the courts?

I'm not sure anyone has ever challenged them - but then that would take a US attorney, and they all work at the pleasure of the president.

Constitutional? Since they do not have to even be published, I wouldn't think so. All that is required is that the POTUS issue and sign the order, which can then be buried somewhere as top secret for his eyes only.

re: #206 Sunlight

LGF commenters are still too soft on these MSM people. They are not "BIASED"... rather they are the marketing department for the DNC. In their schools, they have not been trained to report facts, they have been trained to "make a difference." Facts have nothing to do with their mission.

Until PJ, LGF, Drudge, et al, figure out a way to replace the traditional breakfast table paper and evening TV network news, FACTS and multiple viewpoints will not re-enter the American psyche. Elections will continue to be thrown. I'm glad Charles got a Kindle. Maybe that could be the replacement medium for a news stream that replaces the newspapers.

Chrissy Matthews has already admitted as much. I prefer cheerleaders who are much better looking.

Shame on McCain, Mr. "Honour" for allowing this to happen. Has he made even ONE public statement about this? Jerk.

Evidently, McCain thinks it's enough to let Salter and Schmidt carry that load.

But he personally has made no statements at all. And that, I find, is indefensible.

re: #182 JohnAdams

The term that is buzzing around in my head these last few days is "group-think." I think that this in part is what has afflicted the MSM.

Speaking of group think the latest media montage Rush put together has a bunch of MSM echoing each other describing Chicago thug Rahm Emanuel as having "sharp elbow's".

Wow, you guys are so serious, here enjoy what I am doing.

re: #181 Davida

Yes, I saw that and I thought Brokaw was going to stand up and cheer. He certainly did not challenge the idea. It was absolutely disgusting.

re: #183 galloping granny

Why bother with the GPS implants? I strongly suspect that any "war on terror" we have been pursuing is done and over on Jan 20, just about 15 seconds after the oath is administered.

Thank you. There is no GWOT--it's Bush's lie. There will be peace now (What do we want? PEACE! When do we want it? NOW!) All we are saayyy-ing (thump) is give Barry a chance....

It's really so simple if you just become one with Landru. (And yes, everything does go back to Star Trek.)

re: #239 Davida

Hey.... you might be onto something there....

Don't count on that by a long shot. I buy quite some bit from Amazon, but it has not escaped my notice that every time they had a magazine sale during the campaign, instead of the illustration featuring any of the 500 or so magazines they carry that featured anything or anyone on the cover that was no Obama, each and every time Obama's face made the "random" cut.

Personally, I would call that free advertising and a campaign donation.

re: #233 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

Thanks, I think there will be a lot of regret once The Zero begins to RULE us in Jan.

re: #194 FurryOldGuyJeans

I remember stories about "journalists" at CBS (I believe it was CBS) high-fiving and cracking jokes when Reagan was shot. The Media has been in the tank for the Democrats all of my life.

No, nothing public, but FNC reported that he put out a memo to the Campaign to back off of Palin.
What camapign? I thought the other guy won.

On Sundays on the way to Mass, we drive through some rural areas to get to our church. In front of one home, several campaign signs for GOP candidates went up, about a month ago.

Yesterday, only one sign remained, an approximately 4' x 6' "Sarah!" sign, with McCain's name in the "McCain-Palin" line now blacked out, leaving only "Palin" on it. Ouch.

Yeah I'm doing ok today, just really COLD down here in N.C. - I'm thinking it's God's way of punishing NC for going for Obama!
How are you doing today? How's Lil Miss?

Cold? I've been knitting a scarf and if I ever figure out how to finish it, I'll send it to you. Right now it's almost 23' feet long ... =O

I'm fine, thanks for asking and Lil Miss is still her own irascible self.

Become one with Landru? She's not my type.

That it is possible in this new cyber-world to be a lone writer sitting at his laptop in suburbia and write something that actually changes the course of events and, momentary at least, sets the national debate.

But did the course of events really change?

When columns like this appear, they buttress our opinions. It's good to see that others share our view. But what did it change?

The media remained unapologetically in the tank for Obama. And likely they will continue on that course.

It is an ebook reader that Amazon sells.

re: #224 FurryOldGuyJeans

I would suspect the extensive use of EOs by Obama will be journalized (I can not say reported) as only necessary to correct all the Bush/Republican mistakes.

Obama's use of executive orders will be hailed by the MSM as clear evidence of his dynamic leadership and his being The One.

Anyone questioning or dissenting from this will be immediately attacked and labeled an enemy of the State.

re: #250 realwest

re: #224 FurryOldGuyJeans

I remember the media outrage whenever Bush used Executive Orders by branding him the "Imperial President". I would suspect the extensive use of EOs by Obama will be journalized (I can not say reported) as only necessary to correct all the Bush/Republican mistakes.

The first thing he'll do is rescind all pro-life executive orders.

I'm surprised to hear that said. During Katrina there were so many comments along the lines of "(Slobber slobber) I'd like to git me some of that!) that I just kept the bottle of Tums on my desk.

re: #224 FurryOldGuyJeans

I think it might be an interesting exercise to start a bidding on just what outrageous act Obama will have to commit for the mainstream media to begin criticizing him.
