Bengahzi? Nope. Libya? UhUh. Dead Ambassador? Zilch. Dead Heroes? Ditto. Questions for President Obama? Can't say.
One may expect news from a newspaper; but, then again, when a newspaper endorses four more years of nothing, nothing might seem like a real cool hand, from a practiced dispenser of nothing in the news.
I was confused by Lynn Sweet's headline. Not surprising. due to the subtle nuances of political language and all . I will be required to work for ticket -in order to - Obama bash?
The Chicago Tribune endorsed the President most comfortable with a woman's choice to murder her child in the womb, because the Bruce Dold's deep-thinkers want voters to "Think of the Children!" No kidding -
Tribune endorses Obama: Our children's America!
Super, Bruce. Not to be out done, Chicago Sun Times Obama maven Lynn Sweet invites us all willing to work to Bash Obama!
Shucks, President Obama has done a pretty effective job of setting up an Obama Bashing nearly every day these past four years -
However, To Bash ( v.transitive) is not the same as A Bash (n.). To Bash means to strike violently, or rhetorically to the criticize, diminish, or make small of a person. A Bash is a fete, party, or celebration where one might 'pitch a bitch!'
The DNC bash was moved in-doors because Team Obama Party Planners were concerned with the 70 degree weather in Charlotte , NC and certainly not a concern that tens of people would show up to celebrate Obama 2012 Foward. Likewise Bash enthusiasts determined that Grank Park just might be a wee bit nippy on November 6, 2012l therefore going Foward Indoor.
The cost to Bash Obama is signing up to work in Wisconsin.
The “Illinois Victory Volunteers” GOTV canvass in Wisconsin will take place Nov. 3, 4 and 5. Once completed, tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served system. Each shift will last between two and three hours.
The Obama team selected McCormick Place in part because they were worried about bad weather and wanted an indoor venue.
Obama’s field operation has used events as organizing tools since the first days of the 2008 campaign. More recently, the Obama campaign pegged a massive volunteer effort in North Carolina to tickets for what was to have been the Democratic National Convention finale at the Bank of America stadium in Charlotte. The outdoor stadium event was canceled because of bad weather and Obama and Vice President Joe Biden delivered their acceptance speeches inside at the Time Warner Cable arena. . . .Major donors are expected to get VIP treatment on election night, as they did in 2008. And for those who don’t want to canvass, a donation ($150 or even less to the Obama campaign) will get you entered in a lottery to get “right up front” with Obama in Chicago on election night. The campaign ran a similar program in 2008, promising a backstage pass and front row seats for Grant Park.The Obama drive to send Illinois troops to Wisconsin to help the president may have an unintended consequence before election day: It could drain a pool of motivated volunteers from the big Chicago area House races in the closing days of the campaign — when Tammy Duckworth, Bill Foster and Brad Schneider will also need GOTV help.
GOTV ain't cable - it means Go To Victory! Obama bash bashing on my part? Well, I just go where I'm invited - To Hell or to Victory! As Fats Waller was wont to say " One never knows, do one??
Leo Boxing Coach Mike Joyce, President Dan McGrath and the Leo Boxing Team lead the Leo High School Community in saying good by to a great friend and mentor - Boxing Legend Emanuel Steward.Steward, who has been hospitilized since September, had been had been suffering from diverticulitis, though he reportedly had contracted colon cancer.Steward was known for running Kronk gym, where he bred champion fighters like Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. Over the years he also trained world champions Michael Moorer, Evander Holyfield, Oliver McCall, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. andOscar De La Hoya. He was a father figure to dozens of other boxers, whom he trained by day and parented by night. In recent years he became known for his commentary during HBO-TV's boxing matches.
Emanuel Steward's last stop before entering Chicago hospital was at the Celtic Boxing Gym in Mount Greenwood run by Leo Coach Mike Joyce, where the two great trainers watched over some young talent. Kids first.
"Instituting a doctrine of mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors." Samantha Power
Samantha Power is the Irish born Harvard PhD. married to Cass Sunstein, accepted a Pulitzer Prize for a book about Genocide in the Balkans and who helped create the Obama apology tour. Ms. Power has a problem with genocide unless genocide pops up in Israel. Ms. Power hates Zionism, which is the lefty cop-out for anti-Semitism, much in the same manner as woman's health choice means crushing a child's noggin in the womb Like comfortable and fashionable Dowager Feminism (abortion 24/7), PC Hipsters take to trendy Jew-baiting like a swag-party in Hollywood. All the A-List Love it! Here's some . . .
Ms. Power is the one of the key Obama Foreign Policy architects, especially with regard to the Mideast, Africa and other global genocide incubators. More so she personally crafted the the right side of history, according to the Obama regime.
However, President Obama stepped on his foreign policy Johnson when Libya got out pf the barn so to speak. As a result, Ms. Power is disappeared and ain't no one asking where.
The Obama Campaign has a tradition since 2008 of keeping powerful but bothersome inconvenient truths locked up - like career gifter and goof Governor Blagojevich and Illinois -Pay-to-Play's own Man in the Iron Mask -Tony Rezko - or placed in gilded bird cages like Desiree Rogers - others become Mayor of Chicago, or return to the private sector in order to loot the public via politics.
It's all good in David Trumpxelod's ( Axelrod who uses divorce records like CTA bus passes) clown opera.
Missing from Brand Obama these days are critters like Samantha Power and Mandarin Andy Stern of SEIU and the Peoples Republic of China.
Written by Mike Houlihan Special to The Irish American News
Most Irish Americans are skeptical of President Obama’s supposed discovery of his Irish roots. That pint of Guinness he was seen hoisting in Ireland last year was no doubt his first. The real reason he made the trip to the tiny village of Moneygall was a craven attempt to cozy up to the Irish American vote. We’re also not buying Vice-President Joe Biden’s claims to be “Irish Catholic”. This chuckling buffoon is no more Catholic than Ian Paisley, but he still clings to the oxymoronic label of “pro-choice Catholic” like his pals Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and the late Teddy Kennedy. Actual Irish Catholics find an absurdity in the very idea of pro-choice Catholics. They may call themselves that, but the actual species does not exist. Ask the Pope. The liberal media has done its best lately to malign the Irish Catholic credentials of Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan. But according to Rick Barrett, retired DEA Agent and Chicago history detective, Ryan is the most Irish of the four candidates running, and his heritage and religion make him “the real deal”- an Irishman. Barrett’s previous investigative research projects are celebrated in the Irish American community. His work is notable because of his discovery of Irish immigrants as historic figures and then championing these individuals as pioneers in law enforcement, including The Chicago Police Department’s Constable Jeremiah Sullivan, the first Irishman to become a policeman in America; Marie Connelly Owens, the first policewoman in the USA; and Constable James Quinn, the first Chicago Police Officer killed in the line of duty. The son of legendary Chicago police Lieutenant "Junior" Barrett, of 48th & Wabash-Southside of Chicago fame, Rick Barrett has a history himself of conducting criminal investigations and evidentiary historical research that bloodhounds would envy. Among Barrett’s discoveries is the heritage of VP Candidate Paul Ryan: Ryan is fourth-generation Irish, with a paternal line going back to Ullard in County Kilkenny. Ryan’s people were farmers. His great-great grandparents came from a small townland registered as Clohasty in the 1820's, but now referred to as Cloghasty North. The townland itself was less than 110 acres. James Ryan and Catherine Shea, Paul Ryan’s great-great grandparents, were married in the local Catholic parish of Graigeunamanagh. Their first daughter, Ryan’s great-grand aunt, was born and baptized in the same parish in 1849, two years before the family emigrated. So why is any of this important to the upcoming election? Because Irish Catholics tend to vote for their own. The best example of that is the late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley getting the vote out for a young man named Jack Kennedy in 1960 and winning him the election. Ryan’s Irish roots could help determine how the battleground state of Ohio votes in the upcoming election. Barrett says, “There are many Irish Catholics residing in the state of Ohio. In fact, there are so many Irish Catholics living there that, years ago, the University of Notre Dame, home of the ‘Fighting Irish', made an agreement with the Ohio State University to never schedule a regular season football game between the two universities. Why would that be? Because neither Notre Dame nor OSU wanted to divide the state’s Irish Catholics—a game between these two universities would divide Ohio with some cheering for the Irish Catholic ND, thereby dividing Ohioans. Two of Paul Ryan’s brothers, Stan and Tobin, graduated from Notre Dame while Paul chose to attend Miami University in Ohio.” Paul Ryan’s Irish Catholic bona fides, as a Pro-Life candidate and with ancestors going back to Graiguenamanagh in County Kilkenny, could potentially sway Irish Catholic voters in Ohio to “stick with their own”, and very well swing the election to give the Republicans the victory on November 6th. And that night in Boston might be when Paul Ryan stands before the cheering crowds of Irish Catholics and tells them, “There are only two kinds of people in this world ‘Irish and I-Wish”!
Steve Allen was a south side Irish kid who got kicked out of Mount Carmel in his freshman year; Mel Torme was a Jewish Kid whose folks lived in near Hyde Park; both ended up at Hyde Park High School. Steve Allen went on the bum and road the rails, Mel Torme was on the radio.
After WWII, these two south side guys became legends in Jazz - Steve Allen composed 5,000 songs including several Grammy winners and Mel Torme sang more than 5,000 tunes better than anyone in a pair of Florsheims. Here they are together!
Dad always said that I couldn't find my butt with both hands. I can. Allow me to add this imperative -“Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you." - Pope Francis to celebrate Pro-life Mass, Vatican
"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."
A peach of a guy with all the sweetness one could expect from a life well-spent and in good company: short on brains but a terrific dancer!
