Err, your slip is showing

We have been told by THEM


How wonderful the POLLS are for BAM


Err

Get me rewrite


UPDATE: Rasmussen: “Forty five percent (45%) of U.S. voters say it is likely President-elect Obama or one of his top campaign aides was involved in the unfolding Blagojevich scandal in Illinois, including 23% who say it is Very Likely.”

I axe you all

Will BAM even serve ONE day

Let alone ONE term?

I give Obama about 30 days after the "Magic" day before the people realize the only thing transparent is the Emperor's new suit because the economy is about to take another nose-dive...

The war is about to heat up too because the idiot Bush didn't surrender like the Democrats hounded him to do, so Barack now has no other choice than to turn Afghanistan into Vietnam because he can't look weak and then run against Mitt or Sarah for his second term.

Want to bet that "Brain Cloud" is replaced by Powell within the first six months?

It will be an attempt to make the Left feel better about the troop escalations; a friendly, black, Republican-hating face...

Now That's Power


"Obama clears himself and staff in Blagojevich case"

Just following the example of the Democrat Congress which tells us all the problems were Republican hatred of an uninvolved government...










When Bush investigated himself, they went and got Fitz, now it's just the opposite, Fitz will be fired on January 21 unless Chris Matthews can get El Pres__ent sworn in sooner...

So he can finally get his id, uh...

Gee, you would have thought he would have at least waited for the final copy of the Dean report.

At least we have an independent media to look out for the interests of Americans, keep a close watch on government, and report thoroughly and without bias on what happens in DC.

of course we do!

Poll finds public split on Obama aides' contacts with Blagojevich
Posted: 01:00 PM ET

From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser


The public is split on whether or not Obama's team acted improperly in the Blagojevich scandal.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A new national poll indicates Americans are split on whether aides to President-elect Barack Obama did something inappropriate in their contacts with embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Twelve percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday say Obama aides did something illegal, with another 36 percent feeling Obama aides didn't act illegally but did do something unethical. Forty-three percent say no Obama aides did anything seriously wrong.

Blagojevich was arrested December 9 by the FBI on charges of corruption. Among the allegations is that the Illinois governor tried to sell or trade the Senate seat Obama vacated after he won the presidential election. It is the sole authority of the Illinois governor to name a successor who would serve the remaining two years of Obama's term.


Two transition aides told CNN that the Obama team will release a report Tuesday detailing contact between the president-elect's staff and Blagojevich and his advisers. The results of the internal investigation will list one
conversation between Obama's incoming chief of staff, Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, and Blagojevich, news reports say. Sources have told CNN that Emanuel has not been implicated in the case. The U.S. attorney in the case, Patrick Fitzgerald, has said that Obama was not a target of the investigation.

"Obviously, those figures reflect the views of Americans before they have heard the report from the Obama camp on this topic. It is likely that those numbers may change once that report has been released and digested by the public," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

The 76-page criminal complaint released on December 9, the day Blagojevich was arrested, includes snippets of intercepted phone calls involving the governor alleged efforts to benefit from the Senate vacancy. On
Friday, Blagojevich said he is not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing and has no plans to resign.

"Not surprisingly, there is a big partisan difference on this question," Holland said. "Fifty-nine percent of Democrats think that Obama aides did nothing wrong. Three-quarters of Republicans think that Obama officials did something illegal or unethical."

The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, with 1,013 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Has there been a single charge leveled against Obama or any of his aides? None? Really?
Last I heard they weren't the target of any investigation.

More wishful thinking on the part of "conservatives" and "Not Republicans".

You're going to piss off UD.

I'm betting Sarah Palin was involved in a counter intelligence scheme to make it look like Obama and his team leaked the evidence on Blagojvich....

Opinion polls mean little, which is a constant meme of the right, until they finally find one that supports their position.

The poll Dizzybooby cited looks to be close to the election data. It's not hard to believe that the people who voted against Obama still don't support him a little less than two months later. As a matter of fact, the "Nay" votes on that poll are less than the percentage McCain/Palin won in the general election.

Obama is gaining ground according to that.

Investigations into the Bush administration have only just begun.

"W" better get to issuing pre-emptive pardons but quick for himself, Gonzalez, Rummy, Cheney, Rice..

He's going to need a LOT of time to sign all of those pardons, or he could just reuse the old GOP congressional rubber stamp.

Cheney: Top Dems agreed that we didn’t need Congress’s approval for warrantless wiretappingposted at 2:23 pm on December 22, 2008 by Allahpundit


From yesterday’s interview with Wallace. Any reason to believe he’s telling the truth? Sure:


1. It wouldn’t be the first time a Democratic leader privately approved a secret Bush policy reviled by the left. See, e.g., Madam Speaker giving thumbs up to CIA interrogation sites in 2002, back when the political calculus on counterterrorism measures was a wee bit different than it is now. Apparently, she was willing to take a tough line on terror so long as she didn’t have to suffer any political consequences among her base. Apply that same logic and you’ll see why Democrats might not have been eager to see Bush come to Congress seeking public authorization.

2. As Maguire notes, the New York Times reported three years ago on Democratic acquiescence in the wiretapping program — although the detail provided by Cheney about them discouraging him from seeking congressional approval appears to be new. (Democrats claimed predictably in 2005 that the briefings they’d gotten hadn’t revealed how extensive the program was.) Three Democrats did object at various points, one of whom was Pelosi in the form of a letter sent in October 2001. But unless I’m misreading it, the crux of her concern wasn’t that the NSA was wiretapping people without Congress’s or a court’s approval. It was that Bush hadn’t yet specifically authorized the practice at the time.

3. It’s now more than 24 hours since the Cheney interview aired and nary a peep from any of the Dems accused. If this is some egregious smear or lie, they’re being curiously shy about calling him on it.


Exit question: Wallace raises a good point. Why didn’t Bush seek congressional approval when the program first started, shortly after 9/11? Given the political climate at the time, he probably would have received it.

Let me ask you a question, so we can all laugh at your wrong answer.

Who did the MSM support during the Democratic primaries?

Who got thrown under the bus by the Black voters in the Dem primaries?

Was it the wife of someone known as the "Black President"?

Great questions!

The "MSM" as disaffected conservatives like to call them promoted and ran like hell with every single meme presented to them. Any news outlet or individual that didn't staunchly support McCain and his Snowbilly VP candidate was determined "in the tank" for Obama despite any evidence to the contrary.

Hell even "conservative" commentators dismissed the thought of Palin being nominated for the VP slot, until it happened and they did a quick 180. Look up Video of Joe Scarborough and Pat Robertson before Palin's announcement, and then shortly afterward. Fucking HILARIOUS watching them backpedal.

I get a laugh out of hearing 'conservative' radio jockeys speak of television news as "old media" or just "the media" as if they were newer, or not a part of media at all. Newsflash idiot, you're part of the media too. Being out of the "mainstream" means that you're listened to mostly by fringe crackpots, happy?

Clinton wasn't thrown under the bus by anyone, she lost primaries in favor of another Democratic candidate. That's what happens when politicians run in primaries, the people vote for who they want to run in the big show. Do you think that Huckleberrybee was "thrown under the bus?" Fred Thompson? Romney? They lost the primaries, and the nomination of their party just like Hillary did.

Go ahead, laugh now. Then go tune in to your lunatic fringe "New Media" and get another crackpot opinion about why Obama and Biden won the election. If you want extra nutty I recommend Michael "Savage" Weiner if you really really hate gay people or Rush Limbaugh if you just have a general hatred for poor people and Bill Clinton.

Hey UD

I note you never did respond to my points

AS USUAL!
