POPSBush As The Joker Obama’s predecessor endured 8 Years of Assassination Fascination. Actually, the “Assassinate Bush Chic” began even before the 2000 election, when Craig Kilborn flashed “snipers wanted” under a picture of Bush. So-called “newsmen” like Keith Olbermann repeatedly called the president “a fascist” and “a terrorist.” And Obama supporters can’t handle The Joker and the word “Socialism”? Politics is ugly, and it is often over-the-top but that’s not new. Photoshop happens; it’s a free country. I myself have been photoshopped next to a dancing condom, a commentary on my annoying habit of being a Catholic. Bob Owens amuses himself thusly: Frankly, I don’t get it. One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations. The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger. http://michellemalkin.com/2009/08/04/how-quickly-they-forget/

POPSBillions in Aid Go to Areas That Backed Obama in '08
Investigators who track the stimulus are skeptical that political considerations could be at work. "Most of what they're doing at this point is just stamping the checks and sending them out," Hughes says. The stimulus package Obama signed in February includes about $499 billion in new spending, and to date, the Obama administration has allocated about $158 billion to specific projects and programs. Most of that money has gone directly to state governments, which then disperse the money to prevent school layoffs, repair roads and fund social services. That contrasts with the $17 billion that Washington distributes directly to local communities. Including the larger chunk of money given to state governments, the aid favors states that voted for Obama, which have received about 20% more per person Not all of the money favors places that supported Obama. About a third of the $17 billion, or $5.5 billion, in contracts that the federal government has signed for projects

POPSAmount Obama received from AIG: Zero! Employees of AIG - a different matter - gave quite a bit, but not as much as they gave Bush in 04. And the #3 winner from AIG employees in 08? John McCain. If you contributed to the campaign of a public official at your work, would it be accurate to say that the company you work for made the contribution?

POPSHow did rich and poor voters vote in '08? Amazing! Who would've won if only rich people voted? Or only poor? Or only middle-income? Among poor voters only 2 states (Idaho and Wyoming) remain red. Hello Christians - whose side were you on?

POPSObama: More Political Capital Than Reagan? When people talk about this "historical election" what most people hear is "First African-American President" but there is a great deal more than just that about this election which was historical.

POPSMaybe It WAS Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor Noting the date, Dec. 7, which marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Wright instead chose to focus on the thousands of Japanese civilians who died four years later when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. (After church officials turn away reporters, former pastor blasts the media in his sermon) By Manya A. Brachear | Tribune reporter December 8, 2008 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-wright-08-dec08,0,6598372.story Forget the fact that the Obamas listened to this clown. The exigencies of national politics have rescued them from Wright's silliness. What about all the other people who still do? Was it not the Trib's obligation to point out that they are paying close attention to an idiot? You know, for their own good.

POPSAbout the "Al Qaeda" Message to Obama, Too Convenient It was timely propaganda, but for who? CLG traces the timeline news reports of al-Zawahiri which demonstrates that the new "audio message" (faithfully shown by the MSM in Video format to American audience) should be held in skepticism since the death of "No. 2 Al Qaeda" leader has been reported previously, and the timeliness of these reports fits too well with neocon propaganda purposes, more than the alleged (and invisible) terrorists which billion-dollar military and spy agencies are unable to find. To do this subject justice go to the source of the clip to see the full reports and commentary laid out.

POPSPalin 'going rogue' How could the McCain camp be so wrong in choosing Palin? I have a hard time believing that she just happened to suck. Either this is the Mass Media getting this wrong, liberals taking some small bit of information and running with it, or evidence that someone other than McCain is making all the decisions. I cannot imagine he would have picked someone this bad on his own.

POPSBarack Obama's Stealth Socialism Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old. Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He's disguising the wealth transfers as "investments" — "to make America more competitive," he says, or "that give us a fighting chance," whatever that means. Among his proposed "investments": • "Universal," "guaranteed" health care. • "Free" college tuition. • "Universal national service" (a la Havana). • "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families"). • "Free" job training (even for criminals). • "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels). • "Free" child care and "universal" preschool. • More subsidized public housing.

POPSOut-Of-State Students Working With "Vote For Change" An entire houseful of young, non-Ohioan Democrat activists have used the Brownlee Avenue address to register themselves to vote in the Buckeye State and secure absentee ballots under extremely shady circumstances — all while mobilizing a large effort to register thousands of others for absentee and early voting. The activists are leaders of a group called “Vote From Home ‘08.” The group is self-identified as having “extensive experience with political organizing, election administration, and Democratic politics.” They were hailed as the “Justice League” by a Daily Kos blogger. My friends at Palestra.net, a network of young reporters who have been doing the voter and registration fraud reporting that the MSM has been slow to do, have a breaking investigative report on how several members of the Democrat Vote From Home team — all Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and Truman Scholars studying abroad. http://www.palestra.net/
