Barack Obama gets new campaign plane

Wonder what the carbon foot print on this is?

Scripted by Karl Rove. Obama won "Red States" because republican strategy involves G.O.P. crossover voting to take out Clinton, marketing newcomer Obama.

Evidence of a covert campaign to undermine the presidential primaries is rife, so it's curious that the Democractic Party and even some within the G.O.P. have ignored the actual elephant in the room this year. That would be Karl Rove. Long accused of rigging the two previous presidential elections, this master of deceit would have us believe that he's gone off to sit in a corner and write op-eds.

Not so. According to an article in Time magazine published last November, Republicans have been organized in several states to throw their weight behind Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic rival of Hillary Clinton. At least three former fundraisers for President Bush flushed his coffers with cash early on in the race, something the deep pockets had not done for any candidate in their own party. With receipts topping $100 million in 2007, the first-term Illinois senator broke the record for contributions. It was a remarkable feat, considering that most Americans had not even heard of him before 2005.

The Time article went on to explain that rank and file Republicans were switching parties this spring to vote for Obama in the Democratic primaries. Though not mentioned in the piece, a group called Republicans for Obama formed in 2006 to expedite the strategy, and the Obama campaign launched its own "Be a Democrat For a Day" campaign in 2007.(An official video distributed in in Florida, Nevada and Vermont explains how this legal form of vote stacking is accomplished .) Many states have open primaries, allowing citizens to vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. In Nebraska, the mayor of Omaha publicly rallied Republicans to caucus for Obama on February 9th. The tactic, called crossover voting, appears to be part of a Rove-coordinated effort to deprive Clinton of the nomination. Even with the full compliment of election-scamming tools available to him - phone bank sabotage, fake polling data, swiftboating, waitlisting, electronic voting equipment, Norman Hsu, etc.- Rove would be hard pressed to defeat Clinton in November, since she's popular nationwide and has promised an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq. If the contest isn't close, the vote-rigging won't matter. Several influential Republicans admit as much in a February 11th story for Politico.

If, on the other hand, Obama wins the nomination (or even the VP spot), Rove's prospects brighten considerably. Largely unvetted by the media, the senator carries considerable baggage from his stint as a state legislator, particularly his 17-year relationship with Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko. So far, the mainstream press has paid lip service to the particulars of Obama's past and instead portrays him as a fresh new face in American politics. The author of the Time article, for instance, offered the following explanation to account for the bizarre love affair G.O.P. voters say they're having with an African American senator on the other side of the aisle. "It seems a lot of Republicans took to heart Obama's statement in his rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that 'there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America.'"

Is he kidding? The conservative publication National Journal claims Obama's voting record is the most liberal in Washington, even moreso than Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Not everyone agrees with that assessment by a long shot, but it's nevertheless hard to picture the voting pattern Jay Newton-Small implies here: Nixon - Reagan - Bush - Dole - Bush - Obama.

This just in...

Obama's pastor slurred Italians....calling them long nosed garlic sniffers.

Barack is toast!

I guess this will be the perfect time for more racist church bull again. 20 years in that church....and that proves Obama is a racist. Well I guess everyone in the south is a racist also. I can tell you the same kind of talk in reverse goes on here in the south everyday. So ipso facto, anyone who grew up in the south is a racist. Gotta be....how can anyone listen to the hate against blacks for over 20 years not be a racist?

Bill R. Your propaganda spreading is being noted. So So shut your mouth!

BREAKING NEWS!!

THIS JUST IN!!!

Hillary's campaign has just provided proof that shows she really was dodging sniper fire during her trip to Bosnia:

Buy low, sell high!

So So? I have always feared typing fingers. They are soooo scary. Propaganda? I see...you and the bozo twins Limpbag and Vannity find any words ever spoken by anybody that can even spell Obama, and link him to that person, and thats not propaganda? Losers.

realista: Please try to be realistic! Obamacins are true supporters that would vote in Nov for Obama....I should know, as I am friends with a dozen of them!! This last ditch effort to suppport HRC for the Reps is just a guise and you a puppet.

UnRealista,

Are you talking about the Karl Rove who accused John McCain of having an illegitimate black baby and the Karl Rove who is now donating to and working behind the scences for John McCain?...that KKKarl Rove???

You need to quit reading the National Enquirer, you dope.

Speaking of rain,

"The new aircraft has a giant flag painted on its tail. Sort of appropriate for a guy running for president"

Yes, sort of appropriate for a guy who refuses to wear the flag on his lapel. .....hey, I couldn't help it. You just had to see that coming.

Bill is fighting to return to the WH, and that is anti-constitutional. Senator Obama has to contest the Clinton dynasty machine, not just Hillary. As for Walter Mondale's claim that it is harder for a woman to be elected POTUS instead of a black man, ask Mondale how many (white) women are in the House and Senate in contrast to how many black men. How many women attend college in contrast to black men. How do (white) women do in life with money and housing and health and mortality in contrast to black men? As a successful professional woman, I am heartily ashamed to hear someone I used to admire play the race and gender card to advantage the Clinton dynasty. Carville also speaks for the Clinton dynasty. Carville has shown tremendous disrespect for the first and only Hispanic governor and should be drummed out of the Democratic party, if the Clinton campaign will not disavow him. Hillary is a horrible liar who cannot tell the difference between truth and lie.

I think the Republicans are doing a favor for the Democrats. Help them to lose the next election and blame Karl Rove for it again.

Barack will need that plane to fly far, far away from his 20 YEAR HISTORY with Rev. Wright.

Ol' Rev. Wright also slurred the Italians...calling them garlic sniffers.

Way to go you fools....no wonder the dem 'elders' have to decide the final vote.

Proud of your party now?

Paulo

I hope the Obama plane costs his campaign a lot more money than the old plane, then there's less to use on his lying ads. Obama is the last man on the planet who should be President of the USA, other than Obama's mentor, the Reverend Wright.
Go Hillary!

Look it up. It is against the flag code to wear the flag as jewelry, clothing, on paper plates and napkins or anything else unless you are in the military. Obama is right NOT to wear a flag pin. Anyone who does is being disrespectful.

MAth Whiz,

Speaking of the Bush economy, the one with six years of economic growth and lwo unemployement and low interest rates and lower income taxes, I was preparing my inocme taxes. Did you know that it is a pain in the butt (but well worth it) to prepare the calcualtion on long-term capital gains from the sale of stock?

P. S. - Glad to see you made bail on the Catholic School Girl incident. Which of the six were you?

"The new aircraft has a giant flag painted on its tail. Sort of appropriate for a guy running for president."

And why would that be?

Wow. You go Obama. Great plane.

I hope the 20% of the Clinton supporters that won't vote for Obama when he wins the primary election will go back to being right wing of the Republican party where you belong...

For the other 80%, please get on board with us and help us end this. We know who won this fight, it is time to start the healing and get behind this wonderful candidate! Please take another look at Obama...it isn't like switching teams, we are all Americans. These special interests don't stand a chance against the over 1.2 million small donors like us. Help us grow that database and take be a part of the Calvary that takes America away from those special interests! After all it is all about the Supreme Court Justices, if McCain gets in, we are going to have some pretty tough laws to abide by.

Some people are willing to give up their lives for the good of this country... Hillary cannot even give up her obviously lost nomination for the good of the country...

I am sure that every Italian will part company with every old person who referred to Blacks as Moolies or Moulinyans. Come on this is rediculous issues are what matter. Old people in my family and in my church referred to Blacks as Darkies when I was a child. I still go to the same church. That is offensive. I am not white. I did not like it but I don't think of Blacks as darkies. I have evolved. This is a different time. Everyone is an individual - get over it. Or is Jeremiah Wright running for president?

Wow, nice plane...Did Rezko get that for ya?

je, don't worry, in a few years the republic goons will re-write economic history and claim the recession didn't actually start until after president obama took office. same way they re-wrote the time line for the so-called clinton recession. doesn't matter, i'm sure trickle down will find a way to blame bill clinton for the disastrous bush economy. of course, when you add in the three trillion dollar cost of the disaster in iraq, it will be hard for anyone with half a brain to find a way to give presnit dumb dumb a pass. then again......

I guess Tony's got some cash left after all...

Your president George Bush is more of a liberal than Obama. We had a surplus before he came to office. He started a was and he just keeps on spending.

"Where do you wear a flag lapel pin?
lapelpin

Flag lapel pins have been in the news, including a recent story tracing the timeline of Barack Obama's wearing of a lapel pin.

The Flag Code is quite specific about where to wear it. Section 8j of the Flag Code [see below] reads:

No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."

Hey Paulo...you got a little thing going for Rev. Wright, dontcha? Get some new material dude, you're getting to be a bore!

For those of you who think Rezko bought the plane for Senator Obama, here's some news -- Neither Senators Obama, Clinton or McCain own the planes they fly around in. They are leased to the campaign. Some of you need to get a grip and try to stick with the issues and stop being so hateful and small-minded.

If Hillary wins, I will vote for McCain.

Philly!

I think its time for the fat lady to sing. Oh she lied about that too. We thought she could sing. Howl or something. Just get out.

Someone should take a look at North American Airline's history on treating their employees. What they have done to their employees in the past is awful. Don't forget what their holding company just did to all of those people at ATA(closed up shop). North American flight attendants are still fighting for a contract, not for more pay but for better work rules. They are one of the few that still have 20 hour duty days. In addition, they were used for the 2000 Bush campaign, and former owner Dan McKinnon was a Reagan nominee for the Civil Aeronautic Board during the time that all the controllers were fired. He was proud of saying how he was a player in deregulations of the airline business.

Now he uses the American flag on his plane. Did someone finally question him on why he was using the newer version of the old Japanese rising sun as his campaign symbol. Wonder how the American's felt on Dec.7, 1941 seeing the rising sun flags and paintings on those planes bombing Pearl Harbor?
Is Obama starting to become the big flip flopper? Too early to do this or he is really starting to worry about McCain, a real American hero, a man that knows what our flag means to those of us who still consider ourselves patriots of this great country.

"The new aircraft has a giant flag painted on its tail. Sort of appropriate for a guy running for president"

They all do...

The article should say "The new aircraft HAD a giant flag painted on its tail until Obama had it removed and painted over with his own symbol."

HELLO to Democratic Convention Delegates from the State of WASHINGTON, Former CHICAGOANS: Peggy and Willis (bud) Kirk!!! We are all so proud of you to be finally be able to be delegates to this great Candidate BARAK OBAMA!!!! Cousin Mary, Buffalo New York
