John McCain: Sen. Obama Hits the Canvas: Ayers Like Coburn?

Words Matter and so do the things that we do. In last night's debate, Senator, you said that Senator Tom Coburn was like a domestic terrorist and punk.

Senator Barack Obama - On the Left -The aging Cub fan, with happening ear jewelry, is domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; the punk in the mug-shot knowing Daddy has the bail, juice and lawyers to get him off is a domestic terrorist bomber Billy Ayers; the Doctor holding the Baby is Senator Tom Coburn.

Hillary didn’t let him off the hook, either, not when it came to Crackerquiddick or on the Wright Stuff. Noting that “you choose your pastor, not your family,” Hillary once again pounded Obama for not doing anything about Wright when he had the chance. She also jumped at the chance to note that former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers was more than just a “neighbor”, as Obama described him. Hillary pointed out that Obama and Ayers worked on a foundation together for years, even after 9/11, even after Ayers said publicly that he didn’t regret his terrorism.
And what was Obama’s response? He compared Ayers to Senator Tom Coburn, who opposes abortion. Of course, Coburn hasn’t bombed abortion clinics, but Obama can’t tell the difference between a Senator and a terrorist. That won’t help him in Middle America either, and Coburn may have a few words for Obama after this night.

You may say. Senator Obama could have peeled this spud a year ago, when Chicagoans like John Rubery, Anne Leary, John Powers, Tom Roeser, State Rep. Jim Durkin and about 88.6% of the Police, Fire, F.B.I., A.T.F, Cook County States Attorney Officers and Agents who live in my part of town were all talking about Billy Ayers and Obama. Jesus, I live near the former Cook County Sheriff, many of his officers, most of the Area 2 Violent Crimes Detectives, and waves of retired law enforcement professionals. These folks remember the number of fouls Evergreen Park Mayor Jimmy Sexton took from 1966-1970 while he shot the nets off of baskets at Little Flower Community Center. Don't you think that these women and men would remember a punk who bombed public buildings and had his old man 'reach out' - it's that old politics, Senator - to get the mixed up kid out of the jackpot?

Senator Obama, Billy Ayers is nothing like Senator Tom Coburn. He's not even like Stewart Levine or Tony Rezko. Bill Ayers is not even like his Old Lady - she did some time anyway. As far as similes go - I'd say that your campaign is about as done as Grandma Donahue's Pork roast - when it's smoking it's cooking; when it's burning it's done!

Here's what Tom Coburn is like - pretty good guy - which Bill Ayers is no where near.

John McCain: Not the Laser Guided RezkObama Bomb? Bowling for Common Change.

While Hillary worked off a couple of bumps and beers with the great folks at Bronko's in Crown Point, Indiana - home to generous and sweet-natured folks who work hard and give back to their community ( I lived in Griffith ,Indiana where many of Bronko's patrons live) and Barack Obama diagrammed the sentences that he used at the cake-eater fund-raiser in San Francisco where the Junior Senator from Illinois derailed his Campaign, John McCain spoke with the Press.

In his prepared remarks at the group's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., McCain said he has had a hard time deciding whether to support a "shield law" that would protect reporters from having to reveal confidential sources in court.

The power to use unnamed sources "is a license to do harm," McCain said, citing the New York Times' decision in 2005 to publish news of a government surveillance program. He also said it can also have positive outcomes, citing the reporting on the abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"It's also a license to do good; to disclose injustice and unlawfulness and inequities; and to encourage their swift correction," McCain said.

He also challenged newspapers to be more open about why they publish sensitive matters.

"And I would hope that when you do something controversial or something that many people find wrong and harmful you would explain fully and honestly how and why you did it, and confess your mistakes, if you made them, in a more noticeable way than afforded by the small print on a corrections page," he said.

Later in the day, Chicago Tribune's Rezko Reporter dropped another - oh, what would Jay Rockefeller call them? - laser guided rocket on the improperly vetted Candidate of Change. First the Rubes get him and now the Influence Peddlers:

Stuart Levine, the prosecution's star witness, said he and Obama were at a party Rezko threw at his Wilmette mansion on April 3, 2004, for Nadhmi Auchi, a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who Rezko was trying to get to invest in a South Loop real-estate development.

Auchi, now a citizen of the United Kingdom, has faced criminal charges in Europe. He also figured in the revocation of Rezko's bond early this year after attempting to wire him more than $3 million. Upon learning of that attempt, U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve declared Rezko a flight risk and ordered him held in a federal jail in the Loop.

The Rezko party in 2004 was designed to induce Auchi to pour money into the South Loop investment. Obama's presence at the party was not previously known. At the time, Obama was fresh off a surprise win in the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and was riding a crest of national publicity.

(emphasis my own)

Yikes! Now, that will make a guy bitter - chickens coming home to roost like that and all.

Hey, there's bowling or bumps and beers at Bronko's. Can't hurt.

John McCain: Obama's Remarks on 'the American Villagers' is from His Heart!

And," he concluded, "it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

The remarks could be political dynamite, with the Keystone State voting in just 10 days.

"Pennsylvanians don't need a President who looks down on them. They need a President who stands up for them, who fights for them, who works hard for your futures, your jobs, your families," Clinton blasted.

"As I travel around Pennsylvania, I meet people who are resilient, who are optimistic, who are positive, who are rolling up their sleeves," she added. "They are working hard every day for a better future, for themselves and their children."

Steve Schmidt, a senior McCain adviser, described Obama's statement as "remarkable" and "extremely revealing."

Barack Obama - The End of the Trail Speech. I'm feeling you, Senator.

Click my post title for the full Monty on Senator Obama's slight regard for all of us American Villagers.

Barack Obama was not only speaking to 'small-town' America, but the small towns that exist in Big Cities as well - we call them neighborhoods: Obama was talking to Dorchester, Queens, Staten Island, Pilsen, Canaryville, Brighton Park, Edison Park, Norwood Park, Evergreen Park, Morgan Park - hell every Park. Well, maybe not Hyde Park.

This was no Political Gotcha. This is Pure undiluted doctrine - Progressive doctrine. Obama lives this doctrine and it is from the heart - Words do matter. Barack Obama was speaking to his core constituency - Progressives. They are Gown elites - like his Hyde Park Neighbors in Chicago. Like Army brats, University Demographics - that's what smart types call people - tend to be transient - move around alot.

The Progressive demographic tends to be childless; Single or MNKs; college educated; transient; urban; spiritual but not religiously affiliated; professional; mistrustful of law enforcement and people who work in government; non-smoking; up-scale. Our Chicago Lakefront Wards and communities provide a good example - the trendier expensive neighborhoods, where much more disposable capital is enjoyed and where folks reside who make a lot of money - good jobs - and are not anchored to mortgages, schools and community roots, because they tend not to have children. Hence, an affinity for the Progressive Flagship like Planned Parenthood.

Progressives tend to look down upon the very religious, mostly high school educated, blue-collar, ethnic, close-knit, married people; who are, therefore, unfamiliar with the fitness gym/health club life style, due to raising many children in a thirty-year mortgage home, in these far less transient neighborhoods. The 'small town' places on big cities where the smoking ban is having a deep impact on bar owners: Norwood Park, Edison Park, Scottsdale, Mount Greenwood, Morgan Park Wrightwood & etc.

Progressives want Joe and Mabel Six Pack to not only recognize the ’shabbiness of their drab lives,’ but, also, agree with the Progressives that Abortion is a really good thing and that religion is the cause of most societal problems - that, and the fact of their being overweight- 'hate fat,!' under educated, under dressed and over populated. Progressives would rather see huge mastiffs in rastaurants, than Joe and Mabel's six kids. Joe and Mabel are told to keep their mouths shut while Obama conducts our 'current national debate on Race.' Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West will tell Joe and Mabel just how much like Obama's Granny they are - start to nodding!

Progressives are far less interested in who the precinct captain might be, but they are really interested in Global issues ( like Faux Gras -and so should every other community!!!!

BTW - on all that Progressive demographic stuff - Read Joel Kotkin's studies of the American City. He's a demographer and social scientist - I'm just a guy who works at Leo High School. Gotta site ideas - I'm no Jayson Blair.

Obama was having a good old fashioned elitist Jaw-Fest! Obama was speaking to his Peeps! Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and all the educated and tweedy stiffs who universally kiss their waxed rumps. Obama's words come from the Heart - he really means what he said. I'm feeling you. You feeling me?

Jan Schakowsky 's Mazel Tov to Stuart Levine - And You Want to Be Senator? Hey, It'll Probably Happen!

"Mazel Tov to you, Stuart, on this special occasion," wrote Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in another letter included in the program. "Your strong philanthropic efforts and outstanding leadership have contributed greatly to the Chicago area and beyond."

Jan - Question: what is it that Stuart has not put up his nose, popped, ingested, or shot-up? Whatever it is seems to have worked wonders on you. Mazel Tov!

John McCain: Gov. Blagojevich School Choice Could Be Good For You

Every day that the Walking Pharmaceutical in Armani Suits* jabbers away to Paddy Fitz, the collar around Governor Rod Blagojevich** must feel like Ed Schultz's busting at the stain of fleshy waves like Cuchulain in Yeats' poem battling the sea -

'Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard
The cars of battle and his own name cried;
And fought with the invulnerable tide.'

Pressure. Grace under fire as calamity washes with greater fury, requires the weapon to check insurmountable foe -Fate.

I mean, Jeez, even Pat Quinn is coming on like an uncaged pit-bull from Vick's Doggie Day Care.

Hey, Milorod,here's a Boss Idea! It's Keen! It's Hip and Happenin'!

Do the Maverick! It is the Dance craze sweeping the Nation and John McCain is the Maverick Mambo King!

Break with the public school lobby on School Choice. Give the taxpayers something. Anything.

You have nothing to lose on this one. No need to worry about tossing Jan Schakowsky Obama's seat ( She would be a Lousy Choice and Illinois has had enough Losers in the National Spotlight); no need to worry about Lisa Madigan's, Alexi Giannoulias', orDanny Hynes' growing popularity and good sense; no more worry about Tony Rezko - well maybe a little bit.

You'd be the good guy for a change. Get to dancing, Guv! Do the Maverick Mambo! Be Like McCain!

Take a look at the fine Heritage Foundation Study of Illinois School Choice Initiatives linked above with my post title. Look at all the boondoggles that allows Arne Duncan to cry-out that 190 Million Dollars is not enough for his Tax-Dollar Dry Vac - 'CPS students are now being murdered with bats; only last week they were gunned down! Think of the Children!'

School Choice - Vouchers is the only real change that will improve our miserable public schools and Vouchers will relieve Illinois Tax-payers of an ever-mounting burden.

Do the Maverick Mambo, Guv! Get all John McCain on us in Illinois. Hey, it can't hurt you. You may even lose some of that tightness around the collar.

* Stuart Levine - the professional Board Appointee in the Tony Rezko Trial who has testified to ingesting - Coke- Meth -Uppers & Downers and just about everything but Testor's Glue - well, the trial just started. Hey Jan Schakowsky love Stuart and She want to be our U.S. Senator, well, after all her hubby is an ex-Con:
From Today's Tribune Jan on Stu: "Mazel Tov to you, Stuart, on this special occasion," wrote Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in another letter included in the program. "Your strong philanthropic efforts and outstanding leadership have contributed greatly to the Chicago area and beyond."
