Palin is absolutely correct, Chicago tribune, September 6, 2008, Decent article, Thank you Chicago Tribune

The Chicago Tribune has a new article that echoes what most of us have been thinking. The article came out today, Saturday,  September 6, 2008. Here are some exerpts:

“Palin is absolutely correct”

“First of all, it’s preposterous to suggest that Palin is or was a bad parent simply because her daughter got pregnant outside of marriage. I can’t imagine Palin has in any way encouraged her children to engage in risky and illicit behavior, and she certainly doesn’t encourage teenagers in general to do so. Granted, her daughter used poor judgment, but she is now making a morally acceptable decision to keep the baby and get married (the other morally acceptable choice would, of course, be adoption).”

“The bottom line: If impeccability were a requirement for a particular job, no one on this Earth could do it.

—Matt C. Abbott ”

Bill O’Reilly interviews Obama, Fox News, Obama Met With Fox News Executives, Washington Post, Sept 2, 2008

Bill O’Reilly has interviewed Barack Obama. The interview airs tonight, Thursday, Sept 4, 2008, the night of John McCain’s speech. Will O’Reilly ask Obama any substantive questions? The snippet I heard a short while ago was a cookie cutter fluff question.

The Washington Post came out with an article on Sept 2, 2008. The article states that the interview was the result of a meeting Obama had with Fox executives 3 months ago. Here are some exerpts:

“By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 3, 2008; Page A22

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2 — At a secret meeting with Barack Obama three months ago, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes says, he tried to clear the air with the Democratic senator by saying that his organization was determined to be fair but would not be “in the tank” for Obama’s campaign.”

“During the sit-down in a Waldorf-Astoria hotel suite in Manhattan that included Rupert Murdoch, the network’s owner, Obama expressed concern about the way Fox was covering him. “I just wanted to know if I’m going to get a fair shake from Fox News Channel,” Ailes recalled him saying.

“Senator, you’re the one who boycotted us,” Ailes says he replied. “We’re not the ones who boycotted you. Nor did we retaliate for your boycott.””

“Underneath all the politeness, each side clearly wanted something. Ailes was interested in smoothing relations and having Obama appear on his network, and the senator from Illinois hoped to neutralize a potential adversary and improve his treatment on the nation’s top-rated cable news channel.”

“Hannity has led the media pack in repeatedly playing videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s controversial former pastor, and questioning his association with William Ayers, a member of the violent Weather Underground in the 1960s. In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, Obama said Fox News and others went after his wife, Michelle, “in a pretty systematic way. . . . If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in and day out, that’ll drive up your negatives.”

“If you’re asking me if we’re going to be in the tank for you, like MSNBC and CNN, the answer is no,” Ailes recalls saying. Executives at the rival cable networks say it is Fox’s political coverage that has been unfair.”

“Asked to assess the sit-down, Ailes said: “I wanted him to understand that we’re a real journalism organization and we’re going to cover what’s there. We’re not out to get him. . . . Neither of us was overly aggressive but neither of us blinked.””

Read the rest of the article here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/09/02/ST2008090203320.html

Verdict:

O’Reilly and Fox sold out.

O’Reilly begins with Obama being right about Iraq and then asks for Obama to admit he was wrong about the surge.

O’Reilly and Fox are a joke.

Hannity is the only one at Fox doing his job. Asking the important questions about Obama.

O’Reilly is too self absorbed pontificating in his sinecure job, spouting multisyllabic words. 

Bottom line. O’Reilly did a lousy job. He gave Obama the questions he has rehearsed time and time again. What right does O’Reilly have to state that OBama was right about his earlier position on Iraq. Obama is a pathological liar and therefore has no discernable position.

I could do a better job than O’Reilly any day.

Lawsuit questions Obama’s eligibility for office, Washington Times, August 28, 2008, Philip J Berg Complaint, Philadelphia Federal Court, Obama not US citizen, Obama Indonesian citizen

The Washington Times has an article about the lawsuit filed by Philip J Berg on August 21, 2008.

The lawsuit states:

  • Is not a natural-born citizen; and/or
  • Lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia; and/or
  • Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.
Numerous questions raised about Obama’s background have no satisfactory answers:


  • Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya; Canada?
  • School records list Obama as a citizen of Indonesia. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
  • Explanation of the names he has used: Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham, & Barry Dunham.
  • Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama, a blatant lie.

Here are exerpts from the Washington Times article:

“Pennsylvania’s former deputy attorney general and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter Philip J. Berg has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania accusing presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of lying about his U.S. citizenship, which would make him ineligible to be president.”

“The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia last week, also names the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission and says Mr. Obama´s mother went to Kenya late in her pregnancy and ended up giving birth there. It also claims that later in life, Mr. Obama declared himself a citizen of Indonesia.”

Rezko, Obama, Tony Rezko talking?, John Thomas, Chicago Suntimes article, August 28, 2008, Is Rezko working with the feds?

“John Thomas is an FBI mole. He recently told us that he saw you coming and going from Rezko’s office a lot. And three other sources told us that you and Rezko spoke on the phone daily.”

“You told us in November 2006, that your best estimate was that Rezko raised somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000 during your political career. Since then, your campaign’s given back $157,000 in Rezko-related contributions.”

“The Tribune Web site is saying that you told them $250,000.”                 Chicago Sun-Times interview March 15, 2008

 
“US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald does not make a habit of destroying pubic officials by listing them in indictments for no reason and the only two political candidates identified as receiving campaign money from Operation Board Games kickback schemes are Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and the US Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.”                                                          Evelyn Pringle, journalist

“The last thing Sen. Barack Obama and Gov. Rod Blagojevich needed was that letter written by convicted Illinois influence peddler Tony Rezko promising he’d never rat out his pals.”                                                                                                             John Kass, Chicago tribune

The Citizen Wells blog has devoted much time and has presented many articles about Obama and his long time close association to convicted corruption figure Tony Rezko. The so called Tony Rezko trial was never just about Tony Rezko but about the rampant corruption and crime in Chicago and Illinois. Barack Obama was mentioned repeatedly during the trial. Stuart Levine and Dr. Robert Weinstein have also been indicted. Here are some exerpts from a previous article:

Rezko trial prelude to more indictments:
“The Justice Department’s prosecution of Antoin “Tony” Rezko was always about prelude, never about climax. The jury’s conviction of Rezko Wednesday on 16 criminal counts is one more point on a long investigative arc — an arc now pointed directly at Gov. Rod Blagojevich and other of his associates.

That arc reaches beyond the horizon to points none of us can see. But prosecutor Christopher Niewoehner unequivocally — and forcefully — told the Rezko jurors during closing arguments where federal authorities now are concentrating: “This is a crime that involves the highest levels of power in Illinois.””

For several weeks, the situation with Tony Rezko has reminded me
of Jack Ruby, who remained in prison. Like Rezko, he had connections
to crime and corruption. Rezko is connected to Obama, Chicago and
Illinois crime and corruption as well as Middle East big money
and corruption.

Will Tony Rezko talk?

Will Blagojevich be indicted or impeached?

Will Obama be indicted?

The Chicago Sun-Times has an article today, Thursday, August 28, 2008.

“Is Rezko working with the Feds?”.

Here are some exerpts:

“As his sentencing nears, pressure is mounting on Tony Rezko to cooperate with federal investigations into some of the highest-profile politicians in the state — including Gov. Blagojevich.”

“Now, sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that Rezko has been seen at the federal courthouse as many as a dozen times since his June conviction. He’s been held since then at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago.”

“If Rezko’s cooperating, that would be a major development in “Operation Board Games,” the government’s ongoing probe into state boards that’s widened into a broader corruption probe.”

Obama, ODM Action Plan, ODM document, January 20, 2008, Obama Campaign mirrors Raila Odinga campaign, Ridicule old people, Ethnic tensions, Violence

From the Petition to Impeach, expel Senator Obama:

Whereas: As a US Senator, Barack Obama violated the stated intention of
his 2006 Official Government Visa to Africa by publicly propagandizing
for his cousin, Railla Odinga against the US democratic ally of Kenya.
Whereas the stated “mission” of Senator Obama’s Official Visa, according
to the Kenya Office of Public Communications, was to “nurture relations
between the Continent and the United States” he, instead, made public
protest before Kenya citizens to rally against their leadership,
invoking a need for “Change!” and accusing this US allied nation of
“corruption.” In Official Protest of Mr. Obama’s passport abuse and
misconduct, Kenya’s government cited his “extremely disturbing
statements on issues which it is clear, he was very poorly informed, and
on which he chose to lecture the Government and the people of Kenya on
how to manage our country.” Whereas, furthermore, there is no public
record of any sanctions or reprimand by the US Congress of Senator
Obama’s passport violation or campaigning on foreign soil against a US
ally, history has since recorded the broadspread destruction of Kenya’s
economy and large scale loss of life as a result of the violence
instigated by Odinga’s ODM campaign there.

Here is the official Kenyan Government response:

I have it from a reliable source, that the ODM Document below is authentic. Make sure you read it from start to finish. It does match up with Raila Odinga’s campaign, but the really scary part is that it also outlines Obama’s Campaign plan. Remember, Obama visited Kenya in 2006 and supported Odinga.

EXECUTIVE BRIEF ON THE POSITIONING AND MARKETING OF THE ORANGE

DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT & ìTHE PEOPLEíS PRESIDENTî ñ Hon Raila A Odinga

Core Strategy Team:

Prof Peter A Nyongo,

 

 

Secretary General ODM

Prof Edward Oyugi Akongo

Prof Patrick Wanyande

Prof Larry Gumbe

Mr Adams Oloo

1. Purpose

1.0 To ensure that the Orange Democratic Movement (hereinafter referred to as

ìODMî) remains united and focused through out the national presidential campaigns

period.

2.0 TO ensure that Hon Raila Amolo Odinga is elected the fourth president of the Republic

of Kenya in succession to the current President Mwai Kibaki

3.0 To ensure that Hon Raila Amolo Odinga secures an absolute majority of parliamentary

seats in the tenth parliament to facilitate the ease of the intended constitutional

reform.

2. Preamble

2.0 The just conclude ODM Presidential nominations have ended the speculation and

competition within the ODM ranks with Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga (hereinafter

referred to as the Candidateî) emerging as the Partyís presidential torch bearer. The

enthusiasm and overacting support extended towards the Candidate have debunked

the myth that

a As a member of the Luo community Hon Raila Odinga is not electable to the

presidency in Kenya

This document is intended to provide the conceptual guidelines and roadmap for

the periods leading up to the presidential elections set for December 2007. This

document notes the challenges and obstacles likely to confront the Candidate.

These include

Σ

 

 

Hon Kalonzo Musyokaís potential to play spoiler

Σ

 

 

The involvement role of ex-President Daniel arap Moi, his financial

resources country-wide political network, experience and strong following

in the Rift Valley.

 

Σ

 

 

Kibakis incumbency and track record

Σ

 

 

The financial muscle of the Mt Kenya elite and their potential to play

rough and dirty.

The following pages outline a strategy for overcoming the odds and delivering the presidency

to Hon Raila Odinga and ODM in the December elections.

 

Strengths

 

 

Hon Raila is charismatic and ambitious

 

 

Kenyans appreciate him as a fearless crusader for truth, justice and democracy

 

 

Has no publicly debated allegations of corruption

 

 

Great crowd puller/mobiliser/entertainer

 

 

Descends from a legendary family

 

 

100% devoted following of the Luo community

 

 

Recognized as the individual best credited with the incumbent election to

President in 2002

 

 

 

Won the 2005 Constitution Referendum

 

 

Anchored by tribal chiefs with the potential to draw multi-regional support

Weaknesses

 

 

Limited understanding on economic matters

 

 

Has been faulted as having exhibited a knack for political party relationship

nomadism

 

 

 

Association with Communism

 

 

Potential for linkage to the underdevelopment in Nyanza

 

 

The 1982 coup

 

 

Acrimonious parting of ways with Wamalwa Kijana (Luhya Western) Moi

(Kalenjin, Rift Valley) Kibaki (Gema, Mt Kenya region) and Kalonzo

(Kamba , Eastern)

 

 

 

Matters surrounding corruption allegations related to the molasses plant,

Kisumu and implications of corruption as alleged by the Ndungu Report

 

Opportunities

 

 

Pin down Mwai Kibaki on his 2002 promise to be a one term president

 

 

Capitalize on matters related to the dishonoured MoU of 2002

 

 

Take advantage of Mwai Kibakisí Laziness and laidback attitude

 

 

Exploit anti-Kikuyu sentiments

 

 

Leverage the vulnerability of the Kibaki administration responses to corruption

matters as the Anglo-leasing and Goldenberg scandal. Seize this

opportunity to confront him with a powerful anti-corruption campaign message

 

 

 

Ditto the £130b stashed away by Kanu leaders

 

 

Artur brothers and their raid to the Standard Group

Threats

The Candidates religion and perceived state of religiosity

The publicís perception of the candidateís Communism

Kibera in his Langata constituency is the least developed and most volatile area of

Nairobi

Damage incurred from Hon Rutoís recorded statements on the Candidates unelectability

The Candidates potential for ad-hoc and imrpovised statements

DEDUCTION

Based on the above SWOT

a the Candidateís

 

 

Strengths and Opportunities

significantly outweigh his

weaknesses

 

 

.

b The Candidates/Party popularity is imminent should we recreate and

maintain the euphoria achieved during the 2005 Constitutional Referendum

and in the last General Election.

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION PLAN

I

 

 

The Grand Entrance

As earlier agreed in order that our candidate campaigns commence with impact, it is necessary

that he exit Kenya to lay foundation for a grand home coming similar to Matibas

in 1992 and Kibakis in 2002. Whereas the party has identified areas such as Nigeria and

Middle East as regions of interest, it is recommended that the Candidate focus on Europe

and the United States where Diaspora is active) for this purpose. A lengthy absence will

starve the country of Hon Raila and stimulate an outpouring of adoration that will take us

to victory.

II

 

 

Kikuyu Alienation

Owing to this strategyís success during the 2005 referendum, it is the partyís position it

should be utilized once more for the General Election. There is overwhelming feeling

among the non-Gema communities that the Kikuyu are selfish bigots dedicated to a tribal

hegemony who will never share the spoils of government with other communities. Underpinning

this strategy is the blessing that ODM campaign has able pointmen in Mudavadi,

Ruto, Balala and Ntimama who can efficiently galvanize their respective communities

around the anti-kikuyu initiative. Concurrently, every effort must be made to undermine

Kalonzo in order to prevent him from emerging as an alternative avenue for antikikuyu

sentiment. In this regard, particular caution should be placed on regions such as

RVP where Kalonzo has the potential of attracting some of our votes. Anti-Kikuyuism

must be reinforced with promises of jobs and economic gains to key players from every

community supporting this initiative.

The Class Issue

It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive,

uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this

strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized

by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the

emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in

the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.

Pro-West

It is absolutely essential that through out this campaign, Raila remain aligned to the

Western Countries (such as the United States) in order to take advantage of the deteriorating

relationship between them and Kibaki. ODM can expect both financial and political

support particularly from the United States.

Pull All Plugs

This being the contest of a lifetime, the party should employ all available means to ensure

a victory. Subterranean campaigns will therefore form a critical component of our activities.

Corruption in the Kibaki Government, the mess of Kibakis domestic situation and

the soap opera of the Artur brothers provide ready material for this war.

The Media

Since 2005, the Orange team has maintained intimate contacts across all media. Even

though a number of senior media managers are active in our campaigns, we should establish

strongest Media Centre possible, manned by local and international experts. Indeed,

we must approach this issue with the understanding that victory in the media war could

very well mean victory at the polls.

Identify the Fixers.

There is no doubt that the key regional point men are invaluable to this campaign as

without them the whole thing could tumble. In order\ to insulate the candidate from attacks

on his person, not all advertising and campaign efforts should be focused on him.

At the same time, all possible efforts should be used to retain discipline among the party

leadership, including reminding them of their vulnerability.

Funding

Tap into pledged funding from external donors including Federal Republic of Nigeria,

Germany, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Libya, The Democratic Republic of

Congo as well as individual /institutional caucuses such as GTZ network, Cyril Ramaphosa,

the Deya Ministries and US Republicans among others.
