Barack Obama told George Stephanopoulos on ‘This Week’ he considered joining the military but thought different since there was no war. So he gallantly became a Community organizer after his stint at Harvard.

Hillary the attack dog for B. Hussein Obama
Obama’s sending a knife fighter to battle the gal with the .357 magnum. Hillary may resemble a pitbull, but that’s as far as it goes.
Maybe Hillary sees her chance to run in 2012 against Vice President Palin as a losing situation.
From the Times Online:
It seems only yesterday that Hillary Clinton was battling against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. But when she hits the campaign trail in Florida tomorrow Clinton’s target will be Sarah Palin, a new threat to her ambition to be the first woman elected to the White House.
Clinton lost no time, attacking Palin moments after John McCain delivered his presidential acceptance speech in St Paul, Minnesota, last week. Reporters’ BlackBerrys buzzed with her verdict. “No way, no how, no McCain-Palin,” she said.
Officially, Clinton will not go head-to-head with Palin, a self-proclaimed hockey mom and “pitbull in lipstick”.
The Obama camp wants to keep the focus on McCain’s supposed continuation of the Bush years and his skimpy policies for reviving the economy and improving healthcare, rather than on his running mate.
Nor does Clinton want to appear ungenerous to the Republicans’ first female vice-presidential candidate, even if she does resent Palin’s startling emergence.
A Clinton insider, said: “We’re not going to be anybody’s attack dog against Sarah Palin.” The New York senator, 60, knows, however, that Palin represents the biggest obstacle to Democratic victory in November.
A prominent Democratic strategist, Tad Devine, said: “The strategic imperative right now is to do something about Palin and prevent her cutting through the race. She is practising the same slash and burn politics of division of the Bush years. Hillary Clinton can make the charge that Governor Palin represents the far right.”

From the YouTube post:
One final comment. Some have suggested that the McCain Campaign paid for this ad. Nothing could be further from the truth.
McCain would never use soldiers for political gain. He has honored them, but he will not use them.
Unlike the Obama who has used Tammy Duckworth to score political points. McCain has such reverance and respect for our military men and women, he would never use them as political posters.
Nuff said.

Code Pinker Resting
Code Pink protesters got into the Republican National Convention during Governor Palin’s acceptance speech Wednesday night.
It has been revealed that the credentials were stolen from an Indiana delegate.
Gateway Pundit has the the details.
MSNBC is rumored to have provided credentials to the protesters that interfered with John McCain’s Speech Thursday evening by Newsbusters and Booker Rising. No surprise there if it is true.

Barack Hussein Obama (Community Organizer-Ill) Democrat Party Presidential Candidate
Oprah Winfrey will not have Sarah Palin on her show until after the November Elections. Will she have Sarah on after she wins?
“The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
For the record, Barack Obama has been on “Oprah” twice — in January, 2005 and again in October, 2006 — before he announced his run for Prez.

The most recent Rasmussen Reports Poll finds that Sarah Palin surpasses Barack Hussein Obama in popularity. Hockey Moms are more popular than Community Organizers.
From Rasmussen Reports:
A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.
The figures include 40% with a Very Favorable opinion of Palin and 18% with a Very Unfavorable view (full demographic crosstabs are available for Premium Members). Before her acceptance speech, Palin was viewed favorably by 52%. A week ago, 67% had never heard of her.
The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain’s choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden.
Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin’s favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.
There is a strong partisan gap when it comes to perceptions of Palin. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans give her favorable reviews along with 33% of Democrats and 59% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
She earns positive reviews from 65% of men and 52% of women. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that Obama continues to lead McCain among women voters while McCain leads among men. The Friday morning update—the first to include interviews conducted after Palin’s speech–showed the beginning of a Republican convention bounce that may match Obama’s bounce from last week.
Sphere: Related ContentBarack Obama makes a lame attempt to describe his ability to govern.
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama responded.
Our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the past couple of years and certainly in terms of the legislation I’ve passed in the past couple of years, post-Katrina.”
Has Obama governed a State? No. Has Obama managed a small village. No. Has Obama managed a Krispy Kreme? No.
What is he qualified to govern?

Obama’s convention bounce was as high as a deflated basketball’s . His numbers are the same as his pre-convention numbers. So much for the speech that David Gergen, on CNN, described as a symphony. It was ot of tune.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday—the day before the Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin—shows Barack Obama ahead of John McCain by three percentage points both with and without leaners. That’s exactly the same edge Obama enjoyed a week ago on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.
…
Today’s numbers show a one-point improvement for McCain, but Obama still leads 47% to 44%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 46%

Barack Hussein Obama
The low wattage of the liberal mindset.
Lucy Moreland-Smith, a deputy clerk at Youngstown Municipal Court, called a friend from the restaurant said gushed into the phone that she was watching the man she believed would be the next president eats breakfast:
“They’re just eating and talking like normal people,” she said. “And look, he is just talking like a normal conversation with his wife while he’s sitting there eating and drinking coffee. He stuffed his mouth with eggs. I love him. He’s my kind of guy.”
The Obamessiah eats just like a regular guy. Who knew?
