Barack Obama

President of the U.S. Elected through a confluence of factors: the great unpopularity of George W Bush, the incredible weakness of John McCain, the mistakes of all those who opposed him, a highly-skilled campaign staff that was able to sell an inexperienced cipher with a questionable background through partially dishonest means, and, most of all, due to the complicity of the mainstream media.

The MSM was the major factor involved in demoting McCain's opponents, promoting McCain, demoting Hillary Clinton, and then relentlessly promoting Obama at the same time as lying and misleading about and smearing Sarah Palin.

Before the campaign, this site tried to draw attention to Obama's long list of faults, as did many other sites. However, this site was nearly alone in trying to push things such as his indoctrination plan for pre-teens.

And, almost no other site even just once suggested this highly effective plan under which regular citizens would ask him tough questions on video destined for Youtube.

FightTheSmears is offline for an unknown reason - 7/09/2009

... picture of what is supposedly Barack Obama's COLB as well as the home of at least a couple of lies - is currently offline. The last homepage in Google's cache was from July 7, so it's not clear whether this is just a temporary issue or something permanent. A look through the same cache shows that they were hacked by spammers and those pages were there in May to the end of June, so ...

Obama, ADL, SPLC, Phil Gordon, Catherine Herridge, Shep Smith, Joan Walsh, Chris Matthews, others try to exploit shooting at Holocaust Museum - 6/11/2009

... to score political points: * Barack Obama says: "This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms". That sounds good, until one remembers things like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "bitter cling", his campaign's constant attempts to race-bait, his smears of Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh, and how he'd deal with &quo...

Obama Notre Dame commencement speech: live video - 5/17/2009

Discuss the commencement speech by Barack Obama at Notre Dame University. UPDATE: If that doesn't work, go here. Also, ND president Rev. John Jenkins seems to be the root of the problem. In his introduction he said, among many other things, that Obama wanted to make immigration more humane; the opposite is true. At the start of Obama's speech, some are booing and one person was just re-...

According to the Associated Press (link): Two people facing deportation from the United States have been taken into custody at the White House gate.

Pro-freedom cartoon predicted Obama and Democratic Party... fifty years ago - 5/09/2009

... recently and as a response to Barack Obama and the current state of the Democratic Party. Now, certainly, they don't want state control over all factories and farms, but it's not like that's a foreign concept to the administration and some of their policy advisors. While some of the video needs some serious caveats, the Democratic Party seems to have used "ISM" as a bluep...

Live coverage Obama press conference April 29, 2009 - 4/29/2009

[UPDATE BELOW] Asked very weak question by Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press whether he will close the border with Mexico in regards to the swine flu.

Now he's engaging in what he refers to as ...

Obama baits tea party protesters; will they be able to figure out what he's doing? (no) - 4/29/2009

Earlier today, Barack Obama spoke in St Louis and said among other things: You see folks waving tea bags around -- let me just remind them I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care cuts over the long term, how we are gong to stabilize social security.

John Nichols /The Nation pushes bogus flu pandemic preparedness issue; distraction from Obama admin, Dem failures - 4/27/2009

John Nichols of The Nation offers "GOP Know-Nothings Fought Pandemic Preparedness" (link). Sens. Arlen Spector and Susan Collins fought the addition of around $900 million for flu pandemic preparedness to the stimulus plan. Now, Nichols is disreputably trying to tie that into the current possible flu crisis, and he's getting some help from his friends (link). Yet, the issue is bogus...

Obama's first 100 days: immigration, stimulus plan, Cabinet nominees, and more - 4/26/2009

... past wondrous 100 days of the Barack Obama administration kicked off on a high note, as the benediction at his inauguration implied that all white people are racists and all non-whites are oppressed. That was just offensive; most of what's followed has serious to very serious long-term consequences. His nominations for various posts are covered in the Obama cabinet entries. See especially Ja...

Knox also criticized the Catholic Knights of Columbus as being “foot soldier...

Is the TOTUS preparing for a coup d'etat? - 4/04/2009

Is the TOTUS trying to make Barack Obama look bad? Or, is it even worse than that and the TOTUS is trying to undercut the Obama administration as part of a dastardly plan for a coup d'etat that would see Obamabots replaced by bots loyal to the TOTUS? I'll let you decide. ...

Some questioners at Obama town hall were plants (SEIU, donors, etc.) - 3/27/2009

At yesterday's Barack Obama town hall meeting, some of those who asked questions live at the event - as distinguished from those who submitted questions online - were plants with connections to the White House or other Beltway establishments.

On January 15, Barack Obama signed off on an advance for a children's version of his "Dreams From My Father" book. That was less than a week before he took the oath of office: link.

... Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Barack Obama just said this: "I want to also, by the way, thank some of the Canadians who came over the border to campaign for me during the election...

Obama's Organizing for America: a corps of supporters answerable only to him? Fight disasters and political enemies? (CNSF) - 1/17/2009

The Barack Obama movement is about to get even creepier, with his announcement of "Organizing for America" ("OFA"), part of "Barack Obama 2.0", the continuation of his campaign even after he's been elected president. From this: "As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead," Obama said in a video message e-ma...

The "Citizen's Briefing Book", the latest Barack Obama scam - 1/16/2009

The latest scam from the Barack Obama camp is a "Citizen's Briefing Book" at change dot gov: citizensbriefingbook.change.gov It allows the citizens to submit policy ideas in one of several categories, and then others vote up or down those ideas. The categories are mostly the same as those featured in their highly similar Open for Questions. Like Open for Questions, the current effor...

Obama releases official portrait: first taken with digital camera. Obama fan reveals ignorance. - 1/14/2009

... I'll just point out that Barack Obama's official portrait has been released, and it's the first to be taken with a digital camera: change.gov/page/-/officialportrait.jpg That's not really noteworthy in itself, but in case you want to continue to be amazed at just how ignorant Obama's fans are, the post by "SilentPatriot" from which I learned this momentous news ...

Obama dines with illegal immigration-supporting conservatives David Brooks and ? - 1/13/2009

Earlier tonight, Barack Obama went to George Will's house in Chevy Chase, Maryland for a no doubt jovial evening with a few (or more) conservative pundits. Will may or may not have been there, but three known attendees were Fred Barnes (see the update), William Kristol, David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer (link). FWIW, the Huffington Post assures us that Rush Limbaugh was not there. We hav...

... president Felipe Calderon met with Barack Obama for an hour and a half earlier today in Washington DC.

"Dear Rod": form letter from Obama to Blagojevich - 1/06/2009

... to Rod Blagojevich; one from Barack Obama himself, the other from his transition team. PDFs at that link. Unfortunately, both appear to be form letters sent out after the National Governors Association on December 2, 2008 in Philadelphia. The one from Obama pawns off all contact on Nick Rathod. The other letter is from Valerie Jarrett, John Podesta, and Pete Rouse, and likewise pawns off contact ...

Obama releases "answers" to change.gov user-generated "questions" (420, dude) - 12/16/2008

Barack Obama's change dot gov recently asked the citizens to submit questions which he would deign to answer. Now, the answers to the "top" questions have been released here. The questions were weak, the answers were weak and could have been gleaned from Obama's positions. All that was predictable; see the discussion of popular voting systems. First, my question - tougher than ...

Obama/Blago picture deleted from Illinois state website - 12/15/2008

Remember the picture of Barack Obama "conferring" with recently-arrested Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich? If not, see this 12/10 post.

New Obama scam: visitors vote for questions he'll be asked - 12/10/2008

Barack Obama has recently launched a new effort that lets visitors to change dot gov submit questions he should be asked.

And, Barack Obama - or at least his advisor Valerie Jarrett - probably knew what he was doing; see the "SEIU Official" paragraph below.

Zogby poll shows how misinformed Obama's supporters are (and is yet another example of Obama's opponents making mistakes) - 11/19/2008

... documentary including interviews with Barack Obama supporters showing how ignorant and/or misinformed they are. His site (link) also includes a Zogby poll he commissioned that tries to show the same thing. Unfortunately, some of the questions that are supposedly true either aren't true or are disputed.

Jesse Washington/AP's supposed "outbreak of racial anger" after Obama win - 11/16/2008

... after the election of Democrat Barack Obama". Oddly, I don't recall much of a glow after his surrogates - now including Washington - constantly tried to portray Obama's opponents as racists. In fact, I don't think anyone who doesn't work for or serve as a surrogate for Obama (including the MSM) could locate such a glow. In other words, Washington just invented it. From Ca...

Our beloved president-elect Barack Obama is offering his new weekly speech not just as a radio address but also as an online video: youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8f9Zqap6U (also available at AOL, MSN, and Yahoo).

Defeating Obama was easy, it's just that no one wanted to do it - 11/13/2008
