I think they're starting to figure out that prices for everyday goods all over this country are on the rise after Katrina, that they can't afford to fill up their gas tanks any more, and they're probably trying to figure out how they're going to heat their homes this winter. They probably feel very much like the cornered animals they are acting like. And they can't EVER even CONSIDER that their hero in the White House isn't lifting a finger to help them. In addition, more and more former Bush supporters are waking up every day.

So they come here and spew their venom and release some of the boiling rage and anger and hate that's overflowing inside of them, and they attack people who are basically in the same boat as they are in, people who are independent thinkers and don't worship false cowboys in the oval office.

for this and could potentially lose her seat but Obama mentioned people clinging to their guns and religion and no one seems to give a rats behind about what he said. Obama said he wanted to "spread the wealth" and instead of having him explain that exactly.....his campaign has attacked an innocent American man instead. Spreading the wealth is socialism yet when Obama was linked with that word....it was the pubs that got blasted for it and not Obama when Obama is the one that said "spread the wealth around."

I'm so sick and tired of one-sided point of views. She screwed up. She apologized. You've got Biden on TV saying stupid crap all the time and that is okay. He is a democrat. It just sickens me. I've seen Michele on other interviews and what she says is very good. She is a smart lady, but she screwed up and the media and the dems are devouring her.

You have morons like Nancy Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Barney Frank, Murtha, Biden saying stupid crap and doing stupid stuff all the time....but that is always overlooked.

Congress was "snookered" again by Bush with this immediate economic "crisis," just as they were "snookered" into the Iraq war "mushroom cloud" crisis.

Palin Nailed in another Ethics Scandal

Geoffrey Dunn

Award-winning journalist, filmmaker and historian

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today settled a state ethics complaint, filed against her in Alaska last October, by agreeing to pay back the state approximately $6,800 for nine trips claimed for her children to various functions paid for by Alaska's tax payers.

The ethics complaint was originally filed during last year's presidential election by retired electrical lineman Frank Gwartney, from Anchorage, who called the travel expenses claimed by Palin "such a blatant misuse of state money."

A second-generation Alaskan native whose parents arrived on the Kenai Peninsula in the 1930s, Gwartney said he filed the complaint simply because he was "sick and tired of corruption in Alaska's government." He also charged the governor with altering travel records to indicate that her family members were on "official business" while traveling with her.

The response from the McCain-Palin campaign at the time was to attack Gwartney:

This is a purely political stunt less than six days from the election that not only violates the law that requires Personnel Board complaints to be confidential, but raises serious questions about the motives of Mr. Gwartney, a stated Obama supporter. Governor Palin has always acted with the highest standards of ethics.

Apparently not.

Today's "settlement agreement," as the document is titled, involves no admission of wrongdoing, blaming the expenditures on "little statutory or regulatory guidance."

Palin contended that her administration viewed the travel expenses as "official First Family business" and that Palin only takes her children on the taxpayers' nickel "to events they're
invited to."

Nonetheless, according to the Anchorage Daily News, lawyer Tim Petumenos, who was hired by the state Personnel Board to investigate the complaint (and who earlier exonerated Palin in the Troopergate affair), found that for nine trips claimed by Palin for her children, "the personal benefit outweighed the public benefit."

In a letter addressed directly to Gwartney, Puetnomos declared:

Following your complaint, I conducted an investigation and concluded that portions of your complaint merited action. A settlement with Governor Palin has been reached in lieu of the filing of an accusation...

According to Petumenos it didn't matter if Palin's children had been "invited" to an event or not. Included in those expenses where "the personal benefit outweighed the public" included the cost of Palin's daughter Piper flying on a state plane to the start of the Iron Dog race in 2008--a race in which husband Todd Palin was participating as a contestant.

It has not been a good week for the Last Frontier's ambitious governor. The ethics settlement comes in the immediate aftermath of Palin turning in her state-purchased Chevy Surburban and announcing that she had to pay taxes on reimbursements she received for living in her Wasilla home.

Only yesterday, Palin's chief political flak Bill McAllister held a news conference in which he declared:

The news media have been focused on the $8,500 the governor has collected in per diem annually while working in Anchorage, almost 50 miles from her home in Wasilla. But aside from the fact that the governor is legally entitled to these payments, the media have missed the larger point that the governor actually has saved the state money by not living year-round in the official residence in Juneau....Expense reports for per diem, lodging and travel for the governor and the first gentleman show a savings of more than $900,000 for calendar years 2007 and 2008, compared with the last two years of the previous administration.

Say what? Didn't Palin run against her predecessors as a reformer? And now she's comparing her record to theirs?

In fact, Palin spent more annually in 2007 on "conference fees" and "meals and incidentals" than either of her two predecessors in any given fiscal year.

What Palin, McAllister and those entrenched around her apparently don't get is that the Governor touts herself as a "reformer" and "fiscal conservative," while she herself has tapped the public trough frequently for her family's private benefit. Their hypocrisy apparently knows no bounds.

"Governor Palin ran on an ethics platform," said Gwartney from his home in Anchorage, "but she's no different than the rest of them. Apparently, she thinks she was elected Queen."

You have a post on the conservative board detailing how you saved a certain poster's posts, plus you have another post saying how creeped out you are by us.

All this Sue Ann admiration and adoration is just sick, sick, sick and oh-so CREEPY. You act like she was Mary Mag or something. EEEEECCCCH. !!@@$%$%$$$%$%$

Anyone seen the kids singing the Obama song. It's way way creepy. They're all dressed in their little uniform and doing hand gestures and you can definitely tell the kids do not know what the lyrics mean. It was on the Obama website but after so many negative comments they took it off. One commenter on AOL wrote "it is eerie. What on earth are children doing praying to a candidate? I'm not sure what bothers me the most: Is it their glassy-eyed stares? Is it their Children of the Corn-fed good looks? Their hyptonized vibrato-less tones? Someone else wrote "This has more than a little whiff of Havana and Moscow about it". And another commenter wrote "These kids are already being taught to worship Obama as if he were some kind of god. That's what kids in North Korea, Cuba, Saddam Hussein's old Iraq, and other totalarian regimes were taught to do as well. The purpose is if they grow up seeing their leaders as god-like they're less likely to rise up against them." (now that's one of the best observations I've read).

Anyway...here is the link and you can see for yourselves. Don't watch it before bed unless you don't mind nightmares.

Just for the record, Obama is not a messiah or the messiah, he is not our savior, though he tries portrays himself as just that. He is not operating some elevated, enlightened plane on which the rest of us are not fit to tread. He is merely a man wrongfully elected into the most powerful position in the world. Forgive me if my fears and concerns aren't assuaged by the fact that he ordered a chili dog for lunch!

He wasn't "wrongfully elected." The majority of the people spoke and, for once, their votes were counted honestly. He didn't need to be selected. He was rightfully elected.

The Bushies are the "worshippers." Those who voted for Obama are "supporters" of better futures of their children and grandchildren. It just so happens that that hope -- yes, HOPE, the new Neocon four-letter curse word -- is coming in the form of a man who can, at the very least, form complete sentences, for whom English is not a second language, someone who doesn't claim the "have mores" are his "base," and someone who hasn't claimed to have a direct line to GOD.

Oh, yeah, and he just happens to be BLACK, as well. So he carries even a higher burden than any other white man would be forced to carry. He's intelligent enough to know that this is a historic moment in the USA, which is another reason I believe he won't mess it up.

I've seen the look in his eyes when his wife and children are in his presence. He is truly humbled by them. It would take quite a lot to convince me that he would endanger them (or their futures) in any way. He isn't arrogant. He doesn't publicly say he doesn't CARE what people think because he's the "Decider," and I'm pretty sure he is aware that fish and man CAN and HAVE coexisted for quite some time now.

A few days ago someone posted below how Obama was "just like one of us" because he ordered a chili dog and cheese fries for lunch with the mayor of DC! The idea, I guess, being that he isn't really like us, he's better than us, on a higher plane I guess, and that we should all swoon at his presence and revel in the idea that he could possibly be like us and eat a freaking chili dog! Am I right?!?!?!

And then there is the countdown to his inauguration. And can I just remind everyone it is an inauguration NOT a coronation. The man is not going to be king!

I've noticed this Obama worship for a while what with Oprah calling him "The One" on her show during the election race and the fervor at his rallies during the campaign, you know the swooning and fainting and the chanting "yes we can" like it was some sort of evangelical tent revival. It was as if all reason was lost in the euphoria of this "man." At first I tried to chalk it up to the excitement of the election. But it continues now even after he has won the election. Not only is it creepy, it is very, very dangerous.

Just a simple Google search of obama blogs, I find this and many others with similar sentiments:

"Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway... Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul."

I'm not sure who the author is, but the author and this country has lost touch with reality and lost touch with God to the extent that people are looking to Obama as some sort of god. Not believing in God doesn't mean you believe in nothing, it means you'll believe in anything and look around you, there is a great many people ready to believe in anything, even a black man from a corrupt Chicago political machine with a nice smile and pretty words.
