Libya? Chicago Tribune Offers Nothing


Trib Editorial Board Offers Nothing . . . Once more . . .oodles of nothing.

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.

Sweet! "You’ll have to work for ticket to Barack Obama Bash" - Noun, or Verb?



FOWARD!  TWO PICKETS To . . .

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??

I got my ticket.

Ubi Sunt? Obama Campaign Keeps His Wizards Out of Sight - Where's Samantha Power Now That Libya is in the News?




"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.

Ubi sunt, no one sent?
