"Unity" at ANY Cost
"He's sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background, went to school on scholarships. He and his wife had to figure out child care and how to start a college fund for their kids.'"
- Barack Obama describing himself as he tries to woo blue-collar, read "White," voters.
Obama aims convention at blue-collar voters
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
Obama is in trouble with White blue-collar voters and he knows it. Saying that he is "sort of like" middle class, blue-collar, Whites is beyond a Freudian slip. He has absolutely nothing in common with them.
Not many folk in Ohio and Pennsylvania were educated in private schools in Hawaii and Indonesia.
Or went to Harvard.
Or live in a $3 million + mansion.
Or have been friends with domestic terrorists and Black supremacists.
Or ridicule people's faith and gun possession.
Here's more hypocrisy from the left in the name of "unity."DENVER - On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama said Sunday he hoped a week of political speechmaking would persuade reluctant middle-class voters to swing behind his bid for the White House, while Republicans sought to stir discontent among Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters.
Clinton was having none of it. Obama's rival in a bruising battle for the nomination was expected to release her delegates at midweek in a unity gesture.
Obama, bidding to become the first black president, campaigned through swing-state Wisconsin, then flew home to Chicago to work on the acceptance speech he will deliver before 75,000 partisans on the convention's closing night.
Previewing the week ahead, he said he hoped convention viewers would conclude, "He's sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background, went to school on scholarships. He and his wife had to figure out child care and how to start a college fund for their kids.'"
Clinton outpolled Obama among working-class voters in many states through the winter and spring, and Sen. John McCain and the Republicans have worked relentlessly in more recent weeks to depict the Illinois senator as an elitist who is out of touch with blue-collar concerns.

DENVER - Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday, despite holding early primaries against party rules.
The convention credentials committee voted unanimously to restore the voting privileges at the behest of Barack Obama, the party's presumptive nominee for president. The states were initially stripped of delegates for holding primaries before Feb. 5. The party's rules committee restored the delegates in May, but gave them only half votes.
Democrats hope the gesture will strengthen their standing in two important battleground states while ending a contentious chapter of the nominating process.
"The only way we will be successful is if we are unified as a party and all Democrats know we are full partners," said Chris Edley Jr., a committee member from California who introduced the resolution to restore Florida's votes.
The party's move raises questions about whether it will be able to control its primary calendar in the future. A commission will work on the issue over the next two years.
Representatives from Florida and Michigan said they were penalized enough. None of the major candidates campaigned in the states before the primaries, and the delegates' votes weren't restored until after the nomination was decided.
"We realize that mistakes have been made, but we're excited in Florida," said Scott Maddox, a former Florida Democratic chairman and a member of the credentials committee. "We have suffered enough."
Is anyone surprised? Rules mean nothing to Democrats.

“The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden is one of the most influential foreign policy voices in Congress. An internationalist and strong supporter of the United Nations, he is a leading critic of what he sees as the vague, unilateralist approach of President Bush.
“Biden voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq invasion, which Obama opposed from the start. Since then, he’s become a firm critic of the conflict and pushed through a resolution last year declaring that Bush’s troop increase—now considered a military success—was ‘not in the national interest.’”

If Obama gets elected, this country is going to suffer big time. Not that McCain is much better, but anything is better than a Democrat.

Senator Biden brings to the table a wealth of foreign policy experience, knowledge and legislative ability. He is one of a few senators and representatives who have published well thought out plans for ending Bush’s fiasco in Iraq. Whether one agrees with the plan or not, it is a plan not a bumper sticker.
In contrast to Biden’s plan, John McCain wants to duke it out to the end with any Iraqi’s who want the American occupying army out.
Senator McCain, by the way, has not quite come to grips with the fact that even our friend Mr Maliki wants the US out within the time line suggested by Mr Obama. Mr McCain’s vision of indefinite occupation apparently does not sit well with the Iraqis.
Mr McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser is a dedicated neocon who was an early pusher for invading Iraq and, until recently, was a paid lobbyist for the government of Georgia, the country Russian just invaded. I wonder what the neocon adviser is not suggesting to Mr McCain?

Paleocon - McCain needs a few gifts. Perhaps a course in anger management, how to control your temper, maybe a course in polite ways to express yourself without swear words would be a good Christmas gifts for the guy.
Some kind, loving conservative patron, perhaps an oil company, might want to gift Mr McCain a course in memory development so that he can remember which countries no longer exist, who Sunni and Shittes are and how they interact in Iraq. And while I do not like to delve into personal information, I do think a presidential candidate should at least be able to remember how many houses he and his spouse own. I don’t care how many he owns, but it does bother me that McCain doesn’t know.

Wrong as usual, grasshopper.
Biden is a joke. I’m counting the seconds until Biden’s first bout with diarrhea of the mouth as the Obamafraud’s running mate. I was thinking that Obama couldn’t have made a worse pick for running mate than Biden but then I remembered the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Obama’s choice of Biden for running mate is an admission of weakness. It’s like the Obamafraud’s campaign is telling the American electorate that it’s alright to vote for the inexperienced, clueless George Soros puppet Obama because the “seasoned” Biden has been a “fixture” in Washington for 30 years and wouldn’t let the Obamafraud screw up.
Don’t worry, America. Biden will hold Obama’s hand during the day and answer that 3:00 a.m. crisis phone call Hillary talked about during the Democratic primary after he tucks the Obamachild into bed at night.
Time for the Lord Barack “Slum King Rezko Financed My Obamamansion” Obama the Divine to pack it in. I wonder if his “community organizer” job is still open.

“When the news broke shortly before midnight, Wilson was still waiting for her cell phone to beep with a text message from the Obama campaign about his choice of running mate. But word that Biden had been tapped was already being reported on television news.”

Speaking of “diarrhea of the mouth,” I wonder if Paleocon reads his own dribble.
There are pros and cons to the selection of Senator Biden as a running mate, and even now that Barak Obama has made his choice many will chime in with their opinions.
Unfortunately, there are some who would reduce discussion to inflammatory nonsense, nasty, mean spirited words with no intellectual content.

It seems strange that there is no mention of the severe brain damage Biden suffered not to long ago.
Will this affect his decision making?
Is this what causes him to make sometimes strange statements?
Is this the reason he said osama is not ready to serve?
Is biden another Eagleton?
Just wondering why this was not mentioned by the PB.

Oh please...Biden’s aneurysm was in 1988, twenty years ago. Wonder what McCain’s reason is for not being able to remember how many houses he owns, or his uncontrollable potty mouth and temper. He’s just a walking time bomb disguised behind a fake milquetoast exterior of “my friends”.

“Obama’s superb judgment?” Ha. I love it. Obama and Co. pounced on Biden’s “clean” comment calling him a racist and running him out of the race, now when he needs someone to balance his ticket everything’s hunky-dory? Yea, give the right one more thing to use against Obama, that’s good judgment ...

The selection of Sen. Joe Biden as BArack Obama’s VP choice is an excellent.
Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have a good relationship in the Senate working together. She is already on board for the Obama campaign and her supporters will be also.
Nor will Biden be any push over for whomever McCain selects.

I think a governor from the south or west such as Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas might have been a better choice.
Biden does bring foreign policy experience but Obama now has problems with the whole “Change” theme. Biden is a Washington and Democrat insider. In addition, Biden voted for the war in Iraq and against the surge. The problem with voting against the surge, is that most voters are feeling like it worked.
Biden also has a history of saying things that are not politically helpful. In particular, during the last parimary season and directed against Obama.
Finally is the “Clinton” factor. This choice really seems to cut the Clintons out of the Democrat power structure. In addition, if Obama is elected this year he will be the nominee in 2012. This will mean Hillary and her supporters will have to look forward to 2016 for her next chance to run and she would probably be to old. I really don’t think Bill and Hillary are ready to give up on her quest for the White House. Her best chance at the oval office is for McCain to be elected this year. I don’t think her efforts to support McCain and sabotage Obama will be obvious but It will be there. I suspect that it might have been better if the Obama people would have at least given the appearance that they were considering Hillary. I know they have said that they “vetted” her during the primary but that came out so late that now it sounds like an excuse to cover up the fact that they never did consider her.

“A great pick! The only choice for the working stiffs of this country!!”
Hey! Don’t forget John “Baby Daddy” Edwards. There’s a pro-union guy. When he is not cheating on his terminally ill wife, that is.
Face it, libs. Biden is there to shore up the Obamafraud’s experience bona fides, of which there are none. Biden’s selection is actually an admission by the Obamessiah’s puppet masters that their political Buddha has no political experience whatsoever to justify a run for the presidency of the United States of America.
So the candidate of “change” is reduced to selecting a running mate who has been a “fixture” in Washington for 30 years.
How pathetic.

“I think a governor from the south or west such as Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas might have been a better choice.”
I’m with you on this one, sbintn. As I chronicled early this morning at http://paleoconstrikes.blogspot.com/2008/08/christmas-in-august-msm-reporting-obama.html:
“A smart Democratic nominee-in-waiting would have picked Kansas Governor Kathleen Sibelius, a “moderate” by liberal standards, as his running mate. But then again, the Obamessiah may have figured he would alienate Saint Hillary’s supporters if he chose a female running mate other than the megalomaniacal former First Lady.”
Undermining Obama has become trickier for Hillary now that Biden is his running mate, however. She will need to be stealthier than ever to take over Jesse Jackson’s job of cutting Obama’s you-know-whats out.
You say,
“I suspect that it might have been better if the Obama people would have at least given the appearance that they were considering Hillary.”
Hillary, more than anyone in politics, understands the difference between symbolism and substance. I actually think that it would have been more offensive and more disrespectful to pretend to vet her while having no intention of picking her as running mate.
And I think that Obama’s puppet masters knew that vetting Hillary would “obligate” them to choose her in the eyes of the MSM and her fanatical supporters.

Biden is perfect for VEEP! The best attack dog in the democratic kennels. He is a big mouth that will tear McSame apart in novel and gorgeous ways.
McCain is a billionaire elitist who thinks no American would pick lettuce for $50/hr - he said this in 2006. McBush thinks that only someone who makes $5 million a year is wealthy. McOilshill does not remember the last time he pumped his own gas. All this and more will flow from Joe Biden with fitting derision and outrage.

True. Biden is a loud mouth and a bully. Maybe it has to do with his brain aneurysms, I don’t know.
Brain damage seem to be a perfect explanation for Biden’s irrational temper and verbal incontinence.

I can’t wait for McInsane to have a PTSD episode in a debate with Obama. It seems when tumors are being removed from McInsane every couple of months, they remove his brain bits that contain facts about the difference between Shia and Sunni, or where exactly Iraq is with relation to Pakistan, or how many houses he has, or that he was against the Jim Webb GI Bill, or that it is the most vile thing a human can do to cheat on your wife as she’s dying of cancer - all the stuff we will be hearing Joe Biden talking about in the coming days.

Lies, nothing but right wing neocon lies, Paleocon.
You said So the candidate of “change” is reduced to selecting a running mate who has been a “fixture” in Washington for 30 years.
He was elected in ‘72 and took office January 3, 1973. It looks like he has been a fixture for pretty close to 36 years.
C’mon let’s give the guy all the credit we can.....

The selection of Senator Biden as his running mate just illustrates how desperate Obama is to find some foreign policy credibility for his ticket.
It is an interesting mix of “credibility”, however. Voting for the war in Iraq and then voting against the surge, which has proven to be the most successful strategy of the war, doesn’t do much to qualify you as a foreign policy expert.
I guess his years of sitting at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings and mugging for the cameras is enough to qualify you as a Democratic foreign policy expert.
You do have to give the guy credit for his honesty, however.
As Biden has noted: “I would say, quite frankly, its awfully hard not to be qualified on foreign policy and be president in this environment.”
Little wonder Biden found Obama unqualified to be president, at least until he scored the vice presidential nod.
The other interesting point about the Biden selection is the total lack of ideological diversity he brings to the ticket.
Both he and Obama cling to the extreme left of the political spectrum. He’ll appeal to exactly the same political demographic as Obama already does.
You can find evidence of that by which bloggers on this site are praising his selection. Their need for ideological purity has been satisfied.

36 years in Washington equals change in the liberal mind. It would seem that brain damage is a common occurrence in the liberal camp.
“Both he and Obama cling to the extreme left of the political spectrum. He’ll appeal to exactly the same political demographic as Obama already does.

Welcome back, Thelen. Biden’s selection as the Obamafraud’s running mate seems to have finally pushed liberals over the ideological precipice.

Dissed!
Hillary Gets Stiffed
by Mike Allen
There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) to be his running mate – his former opponent,Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
The Clintons also were not asked about donors to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.
But it’s not for the reason you think.
Obama has often said, most recently on NBC'S "Meet the Press” on July 27, that Clinton “would be on anybody’s short list.”
But apparently not his.
“She was never vetted,” a Democratic official reported. “She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she’d take it?”
The official also said Clinton never met with Obama’s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.
And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.
“This would be the biggest leap of faith ever,” the official said. “She’s waiting for the text message like everyone else.”
An Obama aide said "absolutely exhaustive research was done on her over the course of the 16 month primary. She was researched more closely than any candidate in history."
There will be blood.
Hillary is not going to take this lying down, baby. If the Obamafraud keeps dissing Hillary, the last thing he is going to have to worry about is a phone call at three o'clock in the morning.
The Obamafraud should have had the decency of at least letting Hillary know that she wasn't being considered and given her the reasons why. They are multiple.
Watch your back, Obamafraud!

McCain Movin' On Up!
McCain Takes Lead Over Obama: Poll
By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.
The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama's experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip.
The poll was taken Thursday through Saturday as Obama wrapped up a weeklong vacation in Hawaii that ceded the political spotlight to McCain, who seized on Russia's invasion of Georgia to emphasize his foreign policy views.
"There is no doubt the campaign to discredit Obama is paying off for McCain right now," pollster John Zogby said. "This is a significant ebb for Obama."
McCain now has a 9-point edge, 49 percent to 40 percent, over Obama on the critical question of who would be the best manager of the economy -- an issue nearly half of voters said was their top concern in the November 4 presidential election.
That margin reversed Obama's 4-point edge last month on the economy over McCain, an Arizona senator and former Vietnam prisoner of war who has admitted a lack of economic expertise and shows far greater interest in foreign and military policy. (More)
The Obamawuss is sounding more and more like Hillary in the last days of the liberal Democratic primary: desperate, paranoid and shrill.

Too Creepy: One Nation, Under Obama
George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above.Just when you thought the Obama cultists couldn't get any creepier. Read Husong's reaction to criticism of the "Obama salute" here.
"Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc.
Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name.
"We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong.
Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says. Their design, unlike Fairey's, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts.
"We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."
Yeah, I can picture thousands of people holding their hands above their heads saluting a charismatic leader. It would look something like this:
