Posted at 10:26pm on Jul. 11, 2008 Michelle Obama: Spend $600 stimulus check on earrings
By wsjreader
After a lull, Michelle Obama is opening up her big mouth again. Enjoy!!
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/11/michelle-obama-spend-600...
Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan Wednesday that if her husband is elected he will offer more than a "quick fix" on the economy.
"You're getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month," she said. "The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

Posted at 6:20pm on Jul. 11, 2008 Newsweek Poll: Obama 44, McCain 41(the 15-point lead is gone)
By wsjreader
Ha ha, the crazy Newsweek just comes out with another poll. Barry's 15-point is gone.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/145737/page/1
A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama's glow may be fading. In the latest NEWSWEEK Poll, the Illinois senator leads Republican nominee John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44 percent to 41 percent. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month's NEWSWEEK Poll, where Obama led McCain by 15 points, 51 percent to 36 percent.

Posted at 11:21am on Jul. 11, 2008 Barak Obama, a political eunuch ?
By wsjreader
I'm a lurker on www.hillaryis44.org, a hardcore anti-Obama, pro-Clinton website who's been around for a loooong time.
I'm laughing my ass off after reading this latest acerbic commentary from this site.
http://www.hillaryis44.org/?p=678
Yesterday, an angry Jesse Jackson threatened to slice off Obama’s testicles. Jesse Jackson apparently does not realize that Obama has no “nuts” to cut off.

Posted at 12:55pm on Jul. 10, 2008 Pelosi says House Judiciary may hold hearings on Kucinich impeachment resolution
By wsjreader
http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0708/Pelosi_says_House_Judiciary_...
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said this morning that the House Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on an impeachment resolution offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).
Kucinich is expected to offer a "privileged resolution" this afternoon calling on the House to look at whether President Bush should be removed from office for lying to Congress and the American public when he sought congressional approval back in 2002 for taking military action to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein.

This egomaniac needs to be stopped, period.

Barack Obama against speaking at Berlin's famed Brandenburg Gate when he passes through Europe later in the month, with her spokesman telling reporters that such "electioneering" would be "inappropriate" at a site of such historical significance.

Posted at 11:47am on Jul. 9, 2008 Fired chickens back on Howard Dean's Denver menu!!
By wsjreader
You can't have a better comedy than this.
http://origin.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_9822064
Rest assured: Chicken tenders and doughnuts will make appearances at the Democratic National Convention.
In the midst of media mockery and embarrassment among national Democrats that Denver had declared fried foods a party foul and had ordered multihued entrees, the Denver host committee has softened an original document that called for caterers to be "lean and green."

Posted at 2:49pm on Jun. 27, 2008 "I HOPE HE [MCCAIN] DIES BEFORE NOVEMBER!” said Obama Supporter.
By wsjreader
http://realdemocrathistory.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/i-hope-he-mccain-die...
When an Obama supporter hears something she didn’t like she decided to call and complain.The problem is she called the wrong radio show. She intended to call The Quinn & Rose Show, but instead got somebody else who also broadcast from the same building. If you need another example of just how tolerant and caring liberals aren’t. Listen to this caller hope McCain dies before November.

Posted at 11:42pm on Jun. 26, 2008 Breaking News: Obama Bombs (Obama/Clinton fundraising)
By wsjreader
From 'No Quarter'.
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/26/breaking-news-obama-bombs/
Barack had his opportunity tonight to start healing the rifts in the Democratic party and, to put it bluntly, he flopped. (CNN is giving the Barack spin, but don’t believe it.) I am told from people who attended the fundraising soiree at the Mayflower Hotel that the One was a dud.
Hillary, ever the good trooper and team player, gave Barack an intro to her big dollar donors and an opportunity to start the healing. But Barack continues to play the role of petulant bore. He gave an uninspired, mechanical speech. The charm exhibited on the campaign trail that left women swooning, was missing in action. Folks from the Hillary camp described the speech as snobbish, arrogant, and boring. But it was Barack’s response to questions from Hillary’s supporters that produced sour bile...

Posted at 4:12pm on Jun. 26, 2008 Sarah Palin Interview: Drill, drill, drill ("They are living in La-La land")
By wsjreader
An excellent interview. She seems very blunt, no wishy washy, and I love it.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/25394468
Governor Palin, thank you ever so much for coming on. We appreciate it. I want to start with this, it’s an oddball question. I mean, Senator McCain says it's too pristine to drill. Senator Obama says the drilling won't work. What is your response to this? How do you fight back?

Posted at 9:15pm on Jun. 25, 2008 1984 Newsweek Poll: Walter Mondale beating Ronald Reagan by 18 points
By wsjreader
There's a little gem of Newsweek's embarrasing polling history buried under the perpetual poll sucker Howard Fineman's latest piece.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/143258/output/print
But nothing like in 1984. That was the most embarrassing example of the latter kind of survey. It predates PSR but remains seared into our institutional memory. The day the Democratic convention ended in San Francisco in 1984, the Newsweek poll showed Walter Mondale 18 points ahead of President Ronald Reagan. Mondale ended up getting clobbered, 49 states to one.
