  • Lot of people very scared

    We've all been kicking the election around for a few weeks here - well, you guys have; generally, I stick to principles and don't get caught up in the game too much.

    Anyway, while there seems to be unbridled joy in the black community, and delusional optimism amongst the socialist worker set and peoples on the dole, or hoping to get on the dole, there are an awful lot American's who are scared to death of an Obama presidency - and not just b/c they're "selfish" as Obama would say.

    I just got done watching "Huckabee" on Fox News... outstanding program. He had on a a few business leaders, a couple of small business owners, including "Tito the Builder", and a couple of international diplomats - including Lawrence Eagleberger - who called Obama a "charlatan", thought that was worth a chuckle

    Generally, all of them said they would simply batten down the hatches, and ride it out. No job creation, no economic expansion, and deal with the long term damaging social programs and spending after Obama is booted in 4 years - assuming the Obama machine doesn't do so much damage that they can effectively steal elections in perpitutiy moving forward, i.e. fairness doctrine, institutionalized fraudulent funding, institutionalized voter fraud, and all of it given cover by a complicit media.

    Simply from an economic standpoint, no way can we compete in the global market place with an ever increasing tax burden on our backs. I'm starting a new job tomorrow, a good job, but am quite worried that it won't be there in 4 years under an Obama presidency. He has every intention of attacking my new company, and as such, attacking me and my job. I'm not selfish, I simply want to work, pay my bills, support my family, and be left alone.

    If you work for a paycheck, you should be very concerned that it could be your company that cuts back, and it could be your job that gets cut. Corparations don't pay taxes, they past the cost on, or cut overhead, and payroll is overhead... could be your head (job) on the cutting block.

    It's just math... not a pretty picture looking forward to an Obama presidency. The fact that 50% of Americans believe raising taxes will be good for the economy is telling of how far to the left our country has moved.

    America is becoming increasingly collectivist. I just think sad. It's so sad to see these things happening in America.

    I'm afraid that Barack is already so deep into corruption, fraud, and ties to the worst kind of people despite his alarmingly short political career that he's going to stumble his way into an impeachment in his first year and we'll be stuck with Bumble Butt Biden as our Commander in Chief for 3 years.

    Of course I am also afraid that his self phophesized first three month "test" (or invitation depending on how you look at it) is going to cost America another few thousand lives.

    Oh! And I am afraid that if I dare question our President's economic policies I'll have state government employees digging through my personal information.

              It looks like the CNN anchors ACTUALLY believe that was a real conversation. Anyone who has done movie video and audio editing can tell (easily) that there are several different audio tracks being combined. I really would be stunned if CNN actually believed it was a real conversation. But they seemed oblivious. (the clips of Palin's words should be easy to track down and ID from other conversations). Did CNN REALLY get duped?

                I wonder if the same guys who spliced together that video/audio took Lobster to Obama's hotel room?

                    Maybe Bob Dole. But I think he is emotionally guarded, and rather busy - since Liz is trying to win a re-election bid.

                            TORONTO - Sarah Palin unwittingly took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday.

                            "Maybe in eight years," replies a laughing Palin.

                            The Republican vice presidential nominee discusses politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the six-minute call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.

                            Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had received the prank call.

                            Sarah Palin: Meetings and controversies Photos "Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie," she said.

                            The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.

                            Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin seemingly does not pick up on them.
                            He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.

                            "I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy says.

                            He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.

                            "Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done," Palin counters. "We can kill two birds with one stone that way."

                            The comedian jokes that they shouldn't bring Cheney along on the hunt, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a friend while hunting quail.

                            "I'll be a careful shot," responds Palin.

                            Playing off the governor's much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," the caller tells her: "You know we have a lot in common also, because ... from my house I can see Belgium."

                            She replies: "Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes."

                            When Audette refers to Canadian singer Steph Carse as Canada's prime minister, Palin replies: "Well, he's doing fine and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder." Canada's prime minister is Stephen Harper.

                            Palin praises Sarkozy throughout the call and also mentions his wife Carla Bruni, a model-turned-songwriter.

                            "You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife," Palin says. "Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours."

                            The Sarkozy impersonator tells Palin his wife is "so hot in bed" and then informs her that Bruni has written a song for her about Joe the Plumber entitled "Du rouge a levres sur une cochonne" — which translates as "Lipstick on a Pig."

                            Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama derided his Republican challenger John McCain's call for change in Washington as "lipstick on a pig," days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention. The McCain-Palin campaign then released an ad implying Obama was calling Palin a pig with that remark.

                            The caller asks Palin if Joe the Plumber is her husband and adds: "We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit."

                            He also tells the Alaska governor that he loved the "documentary" made about her and referred to a pornographic film with a Palin look-alike made by Hustler founder Larry Flynt.

                            She answers tentatively, "Ohh, good, thank you, yes."

                            The callers then reveal the prank and identify themselves and their radio station.

                            "Ohhh, have we been pranked?" Palin asks before handing the phone to an aide who ends the call.

                            Obama's campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs, commenting on the prank, said: "I'm glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama."

                              On a scale of 1 - 10, how much do you hate this woman? Ten being the highest.

                              I once read on a bumper sticker that hate is not a family value.
