2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

ok she genuinely sounds like me in a job interview talking up her 'administrative skills'

"familiar with windows xp and macintosh platforms..."

The Ayers thing wasn't expected to have legs. It was just one bb shot in the shotgun shell McCain is firing at Obama. The idea is that any undecided voter it hits will be one voter to the good.

At this stage of the game, I would expect a "distraction of the day" series of attacks from McCain/Palin. Those, and a lot of half-baked "new" policy ideas, the only purpose of which is to see if enough voters take the bait to move the poll numbers. If any idea succeeds in moving the numbers even a little, then it would become the next big sound bite of the stump speech.

hannity is awful but you have to give him credit for being on the ayers thing for over a year, instead of just hopping on it as a last-ditch effort.

Yeah good job, Sean. Way to be committed to focusing on something stupid.

In 2010, two years into the Obama administration, he'll still be on it. Dude is dedicated.

Do I need to start denying ever having talked to Ayers on the phone for a second about a work thing? Because I totally, totally didn't, and anyone who tells you otherwise is, umm, mischaracterizing things.

Ayers is a productive guy -- not only does he make time to be a terrorist and an education professor, he also ghostwrote all of Obama's books.

hahaha

a federal investigator: have you told a known terrorist or someone that once discussed with said terrorist a work thing that he is, *ahem*, "on the money?"
a ilxor: what no what the heck, leave me alone buddy
a federal investigator: o rly?
a ilxor: oh shit
a federal investigator: ^_^

I thought this was already linked, but I can't find it on the thread:

Brooks's critique of Sarah Palin are less interesting than his behind-the-scenes encounters with Obama:

Obama has the great intellect. I was interviewing Obama a couple years ago, and I'm getting nowhere with the interview, it's late in the night, he's on the phone, walking off the Senate floor, he's cranky. Out of the blue I say, 'Ever read a guy named Reinhold Niebuhr?' And he says, 'Yeah.' So I say, 'What did Niebuhr mean to you?' For the next 20 minutes, he gave me a perfect description of Reinhold Niebuhr's thought, which is a very subtle thought process based on the idea that you have to use power while it corrupts you. And I was dazzled, I felt the tingle up my knee as Chris Matthews would say.

And the other thing that does separate Obama from just a pure intellectual: he has tremendous powers of social perception. And this is why he's a politician, not an academic. A couple of years ago, I was writing columns attacking the Republican congress for spending too much money. And I throw in a few sentences attacking the Democrats to make myself feel better. And one morning I get an email from Obama saying, 'David, if you wanna attack us, fine, but you're only throwing in those sentences to make yourself feel better.' And it was a perfect description of what was going through my mind. And everybody who knows Obama all have these stories to tell about his capacity for social perception.

"Obama was a nobody recent law school grad when he wrote Dreams. No one would have ghost-written a book for him back then."

Obama was picked by the Brzezinski crew long ago, and for not especially flattering reasons. His "unknown", early 80s Columbia years would reveal much on that subject. He has been through some sort of mind control training, something far deeper and more sinister than the "est" or Landmark that Steve mentions in another thread.
Clinton (Bill) was picked by the Rockefeller group and plucked out of relative obscurity cica 1990. BIll and Hill turned up at the Bilderburg conferences, just prior to the 92 elections. That's when I knew.
I don't believe in the omniscience of the "powers that be" but I do know they plan years ahead. They have time, the money and the staff to do so.

nuttiness of comments on nutty blogs = exp(nuttiness of said blogs)

hahaha yes, Bill Clinton 1990, OBSCURE NOBODY POLITICIAN

I was dazzled, I felt the tingle up my knee as Chris Matthews would say.

GROSS

why on earth would Chris Matthews say such a thing

That Biden video about the 'angry man' John McCain is pretty great. I love how "lurching from one position to another" describes John McCain's debate performance both politically and physically. ZING

Next big scoop: In 2013, just after President McCain is inaugurated for a second term, disgraced Barack Obama builds a time machine, goes back to the late 60s, assumes the identity of a white radical, plans Fort Dix bombing in an attempt to kill McCain before he can become a POW. After the failure of plan A, Obama/Ayers settles into a quiet life as an education professor and spends the next thirty years using the vast power of his shadowy left-wing network to help his younger self become President.

^^^^ this should be the subject of a blog

Gah I just spent like 20 whole minutes reading a rolling stone piece on McCain (half of that was waiting for pages to load) before I realized it was from 2007.

you don't read things from the past?

sorry.

i'm not cut out for a career in zinging.

my friends.

Writing this on my blog would be little more than an invitation for future Chelsea Clinton to come back to 2008 and rub me out before I can expose the plan.

I'd prefer not to think about Chelsea Clinton rubbing anything out k thx

She turns out to be her own mom by the way

Oh good, I've been waiting for the election thread to merge with the LOST thread.

I'd prefer not to think about Chelsea Clinton rubbing anything out k thx

Ah, that Daily Show piece. Favorite exchange:

Daily Show Guy: The beltway's already saying that it was a wash.
Wasilla Dude: It was a wash? He's gay.
Daily Show Guy: Pardon?
Wasilla Dude: He's gay.
Daily Show Guy: The beltway, the washington insiders, they're saying it's a wash.
Wasilla Dude: They're all gay.

Did John McCain's "I have a pen, it's kind of old" non-sequitor from the first debate ever get explained btw?

It's as amusing as yesterday's hair joke.

I'd like him to explain how he goes about buying up a shitload of bad debt while freezing spending and not raising taxes.

whole plan seems idiotic. wouldn't the government then own both ends of the deal? they will have bought bad debt from the banks and then ALSO buy the homeowners' bad mortgages that represent money OWED to the banks? note: I am not an economist (and yet I feel like I have thought this out more than McCain has)
