Obama books 30 minutes on prime time TV
Sen. Barack Obama reportedly has booked half hour prime time slots on CBS,NBC, and MSNBC just days before the election.
The fact Obama went back on his word with Clinton and McCain to accept public financing he has amassed a huge amount in campaign contributions. Prime time TV slots are certainly not cheap but Sen Obama does have money to 'play with'.
I do wonder. Did the networks involved coax him into such a thing because of already low ratings? MSNBC really doesn't count given t he fact only 5-6 people watch the channel anyway.
Barack however could be doing himself a disservice. I'm not too sure Knight Rider fans will appreciate missing a week of Kit the talking car. The show probably appeals to many liberals who really enjoy a few brewskies and look forward to the talking car each week. The car does still talk right?
As far as CBS, "The new adventures of Old Christine", I'm not even sure what that means. As you can tell I don't watch much 'prime time' TV.
So will a stunt like this carry much weight? Probably not. If you haven't made up your mind by then, you are probably not going to vote anyway.
In other news I did hear the Joe Biden was going to get a 30 minute slot on the Comedy Channel which should do really well.

Monday Morning Jab - Why Obama will win
Unless John McCain can work a miracle Sen Barack Obama will certainly win the 2008 Presidential election. John McCain is clearly concentrating on to few states win the election.
Sen. Barack Obama's strategy is obviously much broader.
Enjoy your week and stay tuned!

Ya'll are going to be sorry
I debated whether to write a post about an incident that occurred after attending the Gov. Sarah Palin rally in Pensacola a few weeks ago. But it happened and happened to me and my family so why not, right?
As we were leaving the rally we had to detour through downtown Pensacola and drove through what seemed to be an Obama neighborhood, or maybe just a bunch of people who liked yard signs with his name. Anyway, we had to stop so Gov Palin's motorcade could go by on there way to the airport.
While waiting, a family sitting on their porch, noticed we were McCain - Palin supporters. After Gov Palin's motorcade passed someone on the porch yelled as us, "Hey ya'll are going to be sorry when Obama becomes President."
The more I thought about that statement I wondered, "Is that how Obama supporters view this election?". I mean McCain and McCain supporters believe that McCain's policy will help everyone. It's not an us or them mentality, it should be a country united.
Hopefully this is not the attitude of other Obama supporters and just a limited case.
Or... Maybe I just took the whole thing the wrong way because if you really think about it, what they said was true, "Ya'll (who everyone?) are going to be sorry when Obama becomes President."

Obama scolded?
Is it me or when Sen. John McCain said;
"Senator Obama I'm not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run four years ago."it was like a father scolding their kid.
Sen Barack Obama has run on this notion that McCain is President Bush and repeats the phrase "failed Bush administration" in his sleep probably.
I'm not sure but I don't think the failed Bush administration issue came up again.
I really expected McCain to say next "Now go to your room!".

Obama - a famous author too?
Ever sit down and read through your kids textbooks? To tell you the truth I really haven't. We just assume they are written in an unbiased and educational fashion.
Well in Wisconsin some people might think a little differently.
Not only have we seen the trail of Sen. Barack Obama's to power via Chicago politics, shady meetings with (snicker) "former terrorists", and the (ahem) community organizing group ACORN, his majesty has now made it into our kids textbooks.
The Real Debate Wisconsin reported that the 2008 edition of the 8th grade literature book published by McDougal Littell Literature contained some 15 pages about Barack Obama. On page 847 there's actually a picture of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention.
The RDW also states, that oddly enough there is nothing about President Bush, Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. John McCain.
I looked up the other authors included in the book; Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury, Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare to name a few, and just didn't realize Obama was such a renowned author...amazing.
When you look up campaign contributions it seems Mr. McDougal is a big supporter of Obama.
Is this the method for providing content to our children's education? Maybe so, think about the media and how lopsided (liberal) it has become. Should our kid's textbooks be any different?
I think I will pay closer attention to my kids textbooks from now on.

Joe - he's more than just a plumber
Can you relate to Joe the plumber? One night after the last debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain, Joe the plumber has become a popular guy.
There's another side to Joe, however. He's the iconic middle class 'guy' or person working the American Dream. He works hard, lives in a regular neighborhood, looks like you and I, and is looking to buy his own business.
He's a wake up call to all of us. He's middle class America. I say that over and over to get my point across.
This is who Sen. Obama is trying to appeal to and if you saw the video (below) Sen. Obama crashed and burned on his answer to Joe's question. He told Joe, who works hard and wants his own business, that he wants for everyone below Joe to share Joe's success and in order to do that Joe must give up part of what he's earned.
This is what redistribution of wealth is people. It's not taking from the super rich or big business, it's taking from those like Joe.
Below is a video of Joe the plumber.

Here's a prediction - $249,999
If the unthinkable happens and Sen. Obama is (gulp) President, I think you will see a lot of small businesses and wealthy incomes go to $249,999.
Who really want 55% of their personal income taxed as it can under the Obama tax plan. Plus when you kick the bucket possibly giving 65% (estate tax) of what you have back to the government. Sorry Joe the plumber, stick to contracting.
Sen. Obama also wants to increase capital gains taxes. Hmmmm hello people. The market is down over 30% in the past year. There's not going to be any capital gains, in fact, the losses will carry over each year until used. So no revenue there either.
Most of the people who are making over $250,000 probably did it because they were smart. So my guess is they will certainly find every means (legally of course) to not increase their tax liability.
Saying we will increase taxes on the top 95% is a nice talking point to gain votes, I'm not real sure though how much more revenue it would actually bring in to cover Obama's spending increase
On a good note at least Sen Biden did say 5% of the people would be Patriotic!
Confused? Here's the Obama Tax plan simplified

Updated Obama Joke
Here's an update on a joke that went around on the net a few months ago during the primaries.
Here's the original joke (in my own words)
McCain, Obama, and Hillary were all walking down the street.They came upon a homeless man sitting against a wall.McCain walked up to the man and said "Here's a $100 my friend. Walk down to the corner to one of my offices and they will take care of you". A noble deed.The group continued on and came upon another homeless man.Not to be outdone Hillary walked up to the man and said the same thing. She gave the man $100 but took out 30% in overhead and admin fees and sent the man to her office... again another noble deed.The group continued on further and again come upon another homeless man.Obama, in his infinite nobility, walked up to the man, gave him a hug and said, "Don't worry my brother... change is coming".------end of Original Joke-----
But wait there's more!
In an amazing twist, Obama walked up to the final homeless man and said, "Don't worry my brother, change is coming!" and then proceeded to pull out 75 voter registration cards for the man to fill out.
Feel free to pass along!

Former Terrorists? - Please explain
The term "former terrorist" is getting thrown around a lot these days. Much of it has to do with the Barack Obama and William "Bill" Ayers connection.
I wonder though; how do you go from being a terrorist to a former terrorist? Is there an application you fill out? Are you forgiven after so many years?
I always thought, "once a terrorist always a terrorist" but I guess I was wrong.
Maybe given the certain political "situation" it's the politically correct thing to say. We certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone who's bombed the Capital, Pentagon, and killed policemen.
If anyone knows the process for becoming a former terrorist please comment!

It's that time! - Indy Whip
About this time of year I start commenting on all the new or old toys coming out, after all Christmas is just around the corner! It's amazing at all the wonderful gifts we can give our kids.
Today I will feature the Indiana Jones Whip. Actually it's the Indiana Jones electronic sound FX whip. Take note it's for ages 6 and up.
What the crap? If I'm going to give my 6 year old kid a whip it's gonna be the real, thing not some flimsy electronic toy that's going to break after whacking the neighbors dog or better yet the neighborhood kids.
After my 6 year old and I watched the trilogy, you know, hearts getting ripped out, faces melting etc... the first thing he said was "I want one of those damn whips Indy was using".
So parents don't skimp on your youngster for an imitation whip that pretends to snap the bad guys into submission, give them the real deal and don't forget to throw in a revolver as well.

ACORN solution - Get your own ASS out and register
This whole ACORN voter registration fraud is pretty easy to stop. Just disqualify all registrations from ACORN or any other voter registration group for that matter.
Oh but you say, Sir Jager, "they [ACORN] are out for social justice or people who can't register otherwise," B.u.l.l.s.h.*.t.o.r.a.m.a!
A group like ACORN is out to wreak havoc on the very system that our country is based. What company hires identity theft felons to go out and solicit voter registration. And yes this is solicitation which is not illegal but sure is frowned on in most places. Then they complain about, "We're do everything we can to stop registration fraud." Can you say "laaaoooossseerrr" [Ace Ventura].
So how will ALL these disenfranchised people get registered to vote? Hey, here's a thought - they need to get off their ass and go register! That's what I did.
So here's the deal people:
1. If you are too lazy to get YOURSELF registered, then you probably shouldn't be voting. I mean you've only had 3 years 11 months to do this.
2. If you physically cannot get out to register, then I am sure your caretaker or whoever feeds you can certainly get you registered.
Simple
Hey ACORN have you thought about this. If the people you are running around trying to get registered are too lazy to register anyway and you have to do it for them, do you really think they are capable of getting themselves to the polls to vote?
Bottom line:
Disqualify all groups like ACORN voter registrations.
If you want to vote, get off your ass and go register.
The definition of Acorn in the dictionary is "a nut"
I welcome all comments especially those who disagree!

Bailout - The blame game
The rescue/bailout plan outcome is still yet to be seen but the finger pointing is out of control.
The fact someone can blame our economic crisis on the current administration (Bush I assume) shows how uninformed that person may be. I will be the first to say Republicans have to own up to some of the mistakes, but when you look at the underlying problem, Democrats have a lit match in their hand.
I've already discussed the bailout and will not go into whether it's good or bad. The fact of the matter is our current economic meltdown stems from the breakdown in the lending or mortgage industry. The bottom layer of that industry is Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
The meltdown of Fannie and Freddie, which has led to government intervention of the companies, began with risky mortgages the companies were buying. Under Democratic leadership the companies were urged to provide more affordable housing opportunities to lower income families. Fannie and Freddie were more than willing to do this as it would increase their gains but also led to the unregulated buying of risky housing loans.
Several times the Bush administration and even John McCain have expressed concern about the lack of regulation of the two companies. McCain even proposed a bill to increase regulation but was voted down by the Democrats.
It has also been brought to light several Democratic Senators who have received political contributions from Fannie and Freddie, number 1 being Sen. Chris Dodd who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and number 2 is Barack Obama. Remember Obama has only been in the senate for four years and has received more than long time Senators like John Kerry.
The following video explains much of what has gone on at Freddie and Fannie.

Why the Wall Street Bailout Bill failed
I am posting this not knowing the final outcome of the "rescue plan" or "bailout bill" as it was initially called. Will it finally pass? Probably, but that is not what this article is about.
This article is about "Why the Wall Street Bailout Bill" failed, as my title states. As we know the House of Representatives did not pass the first draft of the bill. The controversy of John McCain coming back to Washington or the Democrats trying to embarrasses McCain really is neither here nor there of why it failed the first time. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has even been criticized by bringing the thing to vote when there was no confirmation of enough votes. Still doesn't matter.
No, I it goes back to basic marketing. The bill was dubbed the "Wall Street Bailout Bill". How it got this name I don't know nor care but the American people heard this and went ballistic.
When mainstreet America hears Washington is going to "bailout" Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion, hell yeah they are going to raise cane. Yes, it's more complicated than that, but the average guy on the street remembers; "$700 billion","Wall Street","bailout".
Now of course, the bill has a much lighter tone, "rescue plan", and is a little better received but I still think much of mainstreet is going to feel like this bill was shoved down their throat.
So to the guys in Washington. Before you try to sell something to the American people do a little bit of marketing beforehand. Even if you didn't come up with the term "Bailout Wall Street" make sure you have a user-friendly name and marketing plan before going public.
Geeeez the "Wall Street Bail Out Plan". Why not call it "stick the American people for $2300 plan" or "Hell, let your kids pay for it plan" or better yet "Let's help the crooks on Wall Street plan".
Ohhhh please comment!
later - jag
