Will Obama face a Primary challenger?

I know that this topic has been written to death, but is it really possible that President Barack Obama could face a well funded Primary challenger during the 2012 Democratic Primaries? I might be wrong, but besides for Representative Kucinich of Ohio, who represents the nuttiest nuts of the left, no-one else will challenge Obama.

What about Hillary Clinton? - The masses are screaming at me. I've considered it, and I absolutely believe she will not run, because she absolutely cannot win. How could she win? Running from the Liberal flank against Obama? Running from the Centrist flank against Obama? What about the Black voters, and Operation Chaos voters?

It's impossible! On all counts!

As Conservatives, and as Republicans we need to face the music - Our lone chance of Victory against President Barack Obama depends on who we Nominate to face him, which we have 2 years or so to decide upon, and hopefully it's a united decision, and not a bitter Primary race such as what we had in 2008 (Romney and Huckabee should stay away).

Your thoughts?

Also, if Kucinich does run against Obama in 2012, I can almost guarantee that he will only receive the votes of UFO Freaks, Jedi Masters, 16 people from Schoharie County, and of course, Oneonta's very own - Joe C!

Liberalcytosiscorposusmaniasis: The Tragic Story Behind The Dehabilitating Disease

Dear Friends,

it is my unfortunate job to make you aware of this dehabilitating disease which affects men and women across the globe and of all races, creeds, and religion. it is an equal opportunity destroyer. Please pass this knowledge on to your loved ones and friends, so they can prepare and escape the horrible fate that lies in store for them if they contract this horrible ravaging disease.

I should have you know that I am an expert in the field with this rapidy growing disease, and while there is yet no cure, my partners and I work everyday trying to find one.

'Liberalcytosiscoposismaniasis' (also reffered to as LCCM, and Liberal's Delight Disease)- This disease is a dehabilitaing disease that causes widespread physiological disorders as well as numerous neurologic disorders, including but not limited to:

Symptoms / Affliction commonly associated with LCCM

Dementia
Multiple Sclerosis
Stomach Cramps
Heartburn
Nausea
Indegestion
Upset Stomach
Diarrhea
Liberal Turrets,
Panic Attacks,
Insomnia,
Somnumbolism,
Migraines,
Arthritis,
Joint Pain,
Stroke,
Heart Attack

Though there are many more it would take a whole 30 page report to list.

If you have any of those symptoms/ afflictions, call your doctor right away and schedule a blood analysis test. This will tell if you do or do not have the disease.

Disease Behavior:

The Liberalcytosiscorposismaniasis disease, though hardly old enough to properly diagnose, is fairly easy to study because of its method of transmission. LCCM is a member of the Obamacillus family which is usually passed on through the bites of mammals, insects and even humans. After transmission the virus hides in the white blood cells, mulitplying in number until they outnumber thier host's WBC's 1000 to 1.Once cells reach the brain, the white blood cell, no longer of use, bursts and frees the toxic parasite into the cerebral cortex area of the brain. Once that is achieved, the virus sinks into the brain tissue and causes widespread nerve impulse failure. With thier small but dangerous flagellum they rewire the brain by literally moving the nerves into place. Just four hours will have passed by the time this has all occured. The host then becomes a lethal threat to all around it. The impusulses sent to the brain will be to pass on the disease to the next carrier.

Treatment:

There is no known treatment currently know to affect LCCM. Those infected should be placed in isolation as soon as possible to prevent further transmission of the disease.

Prognosis:

There is no hope for someone with this disease to once again live a normal life. The virus will control all actions. The Host becomes a flesh hungry liberal zombie.

Others You May Know With LCCM:

Barack Obama,
Hillary Clinton,
Bill Clinton,
Nancy Pelosi,
John Edwards,
Al Gore,
Joe Biden,
Dianne Fienstien,
Kristen Gillibrand,
Barney Frank

END OF REPORT

Say Hello to Obama's Primary Challenge

 President Obama will be challenged in the 2012 primaries. You can count on it. His hands-off approach to leadership has been a near-disaster for the Democratic Party, which took almost ten years to regain its 'credibility' and take back the White House and Congress. Now it appears that the President is rightfully being hammered over his lack of response to the Gulf oil spill. But there's more. From terror, to the economy, to even health care, the left is angry at him for being unable to provide real leadership. His approval is likely going to slide into the low-to-mid forties, and unless he gets a plan together, he's not going to get it higher.

Which sets the stage for Hillary Clinton.

There's a rumor out there that she wants to leave her current position as Secretary of State. During her tenure she has traveled around the world with a high (and relatively uncritical) profile. She has not had to cast any controversial votes in the Senate and is able to show herself as above the fray of the chaotic Obama Administration.

She's probably waiting for a trigger of some sort. Probably she's hoping for a GOP landslide in November. A GOP comeback, coupled with Obama's ratings below forty percent, is likely to allow her to jump into the race in January 2011.

She likely has some pretty potent talking points lined up:

1. I Told You He Was Inexperienced: This will be the big one. From the oil spill to terror to the economy to the health care plan, she's going to harp on the fact that since Senator Obama barely knew what he was doing in Congress, he wasn't able to bring any discernable skill to the White House.

2. I've Got Foreign Policy Credibility: Might sound crazy, but compared to President Obama, she has it in spades. Her campaign commercials can show her with all sorts of foreign leaders signing important treaties.

3. He's Clueless on Terrorism: In the Times Square and Christmas Day plots, the Administration's response was lackluster. Whether it be the terrorist resurgence in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, or Afghanistan, Hillary will be able to portray herself as a hawk. In addition, Obama's shameful lack of action towards Iran will be seen as his downfall, especially if they get the bomb anytime soon.

4. I Will Fix the Economy: This is likely the number two message. It will be in almost everything she says. Her husband (rightfully or not) earned high marks for handling the economy. With unemployment near 10% and the debt out of control, she can argue that no matter what she does, she could do a better job.

Remember, Hillary did not dismantle her 2008 campaign. She simply 'suspended' her campaign. Parts are still active and with a two-month incubation period, could get back off the ground. Prepare to see a major battle next year-- with Hillary coming out on top.

Hillary Clinton the Next Secretary of Defense?

Yes, it might actually happen. Politico is reporting on the close ties between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. In it, the two Cabinet members basically seem to ignore the President to launch a more grown-up foreign and military policy. But one part is particularly interesting:

 Gates, who has long signaled an eagerness to retire, just launched what appears to be his final initiative, a tough push to scale back the Pentagon’s gargantuan bureaucracy. Clinton, with her hawkish image and ties to Gates and to military brass, would be his most logical successor — and some of her most senior allies have begun quietly to float the notion.

Hmmm.

Hillary, Military Want at Least 30k New Troops for Afghanistan

As President Barack Obama continues dithering on the decision to send reinforcements to our troops in the field in Afghanistan, many of those around him are urging him to send more troops quickly. These include the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. What Obama will eventually do is as of yet unknown.

Unfortunately there is also this horrifying news:

But administration officials cautioned that Mr. Obama had not yet made up his mind, and that other top advisers, among them Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, remained skeptical of the value of a buildup.

Man, I hope he doesn't talk to Biden. He's a retard. He's been wrong on just about every foreign policy issue since 2004.

We need to surge up to 60,000 troops in by February and give them the counterinsurgency strategy which will eventually decrease all casualties: US, NATO, and Afghan and will halt the Taliban. With the Taliban weakened in Afghanistan, the Pakistani military can close in on the other side of the border.

Is it easy? No. Thousands of people will die (hopefully all Taliban and al Qaeda). It will take at least a year and maybe five (if not more). But unless you're REALLY hankerin' for a jet to fly into another office building, we better get the job done.

Obama Allowing Russians to Inspect Nuclear Sites!

Yes, I wish that this was a satire piece, but unfortunately it appears that this is real. President Obama's Administration is going to allow Russia to inspect our nuclear facilities-- within the United States. This is an unprecedented move that damages US national security. Not only does it lift the veil of secrecy, but if Russia decided to sell the secret information to terrorists or rogue states, attacks could follow.

This is a disgrace.

This comes as Russia is not going to push for further Iran sanctions, despite stating that they might several weeks ago. This also comes after President Obama pulled missiles from Poland and the Czech Republic, ostensibly to gain a deal with Russia over Iran.

So the Obama Administration is backing off on Poland, the Czech Republic, and Georgia... and Russia is hankering to take Crimea away from the Ukraine. The Russians have also threatened to block shipments to our troops in Afghanistan.

This plan makes absolutely no sense. It's none of any other nations' business what our nuclear stockpile is or how it's configured. Like I said before, it's a disgrace.

Chris Matthews is an Idiot

Chris Matthews has been in the broadcast business for years and is one of the most recognizable faces of the terrible news network MSNBC. However, that time and experience certainly haven't helped the guy become any smarter. Instead, he's using Ted Kennedy's death as a way of building up Obama for some reason.

Chris yesterday shouted about how the Republicans aren't giving Obama enough credit for 'fixing the economy.' (To defend Matthews, about all he does is shout) Fix the economy? Even if you believe that the economy is doing better, the falling GDP and increasing unemployment rates show that the economy is limping, not repaired.

Not only that, but Matthews decided to also launch an attack on Obama's opponents in order to... honor Ted Kennedy's life? As Joe C. would say what? Matthews decided to again belittle the supporters of the Republican party down to a bunch of racists or idiots (or both!). He has pretty much said that if you disagree with the President, you're a hate-monger! In fact, he said:

Jack Kennedy was killed in an open car in Dallas in the midst of the most hated--it's like the mood we're in right now.

Wow. Just wow. How incredibly irresponsible and sensationalist. Not to mention that Matthews also said that Obama was now the 'last Kennedy brother.' Matthews had a chance to open his piehole long enough to say this: "I think he extended that brotherhood to Barack Obama. He made him the new brother ... and the Clintons were passed over."

So not only was Obama raised to Kennedy royalty, but he also had a chance to slam the Clintons as well. Boy, just cause the guy doesn't like Hillary doesn't make Obama a saint.

Or does it?

But my original point remains-- Chris Matthews is an idiot (or a good actor).

'Un-American' Attacks Un-American

Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer made a big ruckus last week by describing health care protesters as "un-American." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has called the protesters "evil-mongers." The President himself has allowed his Administration to track critics and call on ordinary citizens to report their neighbors. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is calling protests out of the mainstream.

What's wrong with this picture?

In 2002 and 2003, in the run-up to the war in Iraq, many on the Left sated that they were being called unpatriotic. Still, if you look back on that time period, then-White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher went out of his way to state that the protesters were excersizing their constitutional rights. president Bush reponded to his critics in a conciliatory tone, even meeting with Cindy Sheehan.

Many of the criticisms of the protests against the Iraq War was that the protesters didn't realize that many of their rights were determined by military action, not that these rights should be curtailed or silenced.

Still, now, the President and his political allies have regularly tried to paint their opponents as extremists. Reports of Nazi references and articles about increased militia activity are attempting to portray the average opponent of the health care plan (including perhaps some Blue Dog Democrats) as the ideological equivalent of Timothy McVeigh.

This demonization has been met with glee from the media. MSNBC, once so critical of President Bush's 'scare tactics' has taken a very harsh tone on these new protests.

The days are gone that city-clean Subarus carry that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism." Now, instead, the left is only attempting to protect the United States from a resurgence of the Klan, Neo-Nazis, and non-organic food eaters.

To call your political opponents un-American or unpatriotic while they are simply practicing the same rights you falsely stated that President Bush was curtailing is tactless and malevolent. To scream that they are extremists when they do not advocate violence or hatred is irresponsible and in itself 'fear-mongering.'

Political discourse is devolving as disagreeing with the President is slowly being perceived as hating America.

I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.

--Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Obama 'Close' to Firing Hillary Clinton

NOTE: This is a satirical article, which never appeared in any form in the Los Angeles Times, but is wholly representative of this site and this site only, it is solely meant for satirical purposes.

After Policy Clashes, Clinton's Role in White House 'Marginalized'
Jeremy Kimball


BANGKOK THAILAND-- Dining with Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed widening ties between the US and the Southeastern Asian nation. Earlier in the day, the Secretary discussed the possibility of a US defense shield in the Middle East to counteract Iranian influence.

While on the surface this appears to be the ordinary work of America's chief diplomat, it is part of the shrinking role of the Clinton dynasty. President Obama chose the former First Lady after intense political pressure. The former rivals vowed to work together and were photographed at high-profile events in January and February.

However, since the disputed elections in Iran on June 12, there has been a widening split in the White House over foreign policy. President Obama, flanked by Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel believe in the 'balanced' approach the President has been taking on the subject. However, some in the White House, including Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary Clinton, have been calling for a tougher foreign policy stance.

There has been a widening dispute between the President and Secretary Clinton over several key points. While the major one was over Iran, Clinton disagrees with Obama's plans to open relations with Cuba, the Sudan, and Syria.

The two reportedly engaged in a heated verbal argument early this month, with the President deciding to curtail the Secretary's functions. These have included denying Clinton the ability to hire Sidney Blumenthal, a former Bill Clinton aide, as an advisor. Clinton was also absent when the President visited the G-8 conference this month. In addition, Obama sent Vice President Biden on an important trip to Eastern Europe instead of Clinton.

Rumblings of the split have been chronicled in the New York Times and the New York Daily News, but the splits appeared to be superficial in character.

However, late last week, our source acquired a statement from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stating that Secretary Clinton was on 'thin ice.' Most troubling to the White House have been several statements pertaining to US foreign policy which were not cleared by the White House. One was a statement in which Clinton stated that she "hoped democracy would triumph" in Iran.

Emanuel also stated to us that Secretary Clinton had been working closely with her husband in order to further policy decisions. "No offense to my former boss," Emanuel stated, "but his presidency ended eight years ago."

Whether Secretary Clinton would be asked to step down is in doubt. It is highly unlikely for a US Secretary of State to step down during a presidential term. The last time that this happened was when Secretary of State James Baker resigned from the George H.W. Bush Administration in August 1992, in a non-pressured cirumstance.

Bill Clinton Donated $2,400 to McCain Campaign

In what could lead to a political brawl, sources from MoveOn.org revealed early Thursday that former President William J. Clinton, donated $2,400, or the legal limit, to John McCain's unsuccessful 2008 bid for the White House.

The donations began in July of that year, after his wife conceded the Democratic nomination to Senator Obama. Many sources cite Clinton's anger and frustration over his wife's loss, especially after she won the popular vote.

"He was pissed," said former advisor Lanny Davis, "No doubt about it. Whether he'd do something like this... I don't know."

The article sites government watchdog sites, like Open Secrets, in the revelation of the campaign donations. While both Clintons were ostensibly campaigning for the Democratic nominee, it appears that both were hoping for him to lose.

On July 12, just before the Senator's much-vaunted trip to Europe, former President Clinton donated $1,200 from what was believed to be an inactive bank account dating from the time that he was Governor of Arkansas.

Three weeks later, two separate donations of $800 and $400 respectively, were given under a pseudonym of Larry Kendall. The address of the pseudonym was traced to the Clintons' summer home in New York. The name raised eyebrows, as this was a Clinton confidant during the Whitewater investigation.

The article on MoveOn probed further:

Whether this jeopordizes Hillary's position as Secretary of State is unknown. However, this does prove that Bill represented the reactionary wing of the party, while Barack was helping the PROGRESSIVE wing. Hillary has to decide whether or not to condemn her husband and break with the past or try and build a better FUTURE!

As of 11:00 am on April 23, the original article was removed. There has been no official comment from the White House.

Biden Takes Second Job at Applebee's to Help Reduce Deficit

Michele Chang
Conservative News and Reporting
'News for the Rest of Us'

WASHINGTON- Exclusive
Vice President Joseph Biden has been spied working a second job at an Arlington, VA Applebee's. This incredible information comes as the Vice President is attempting to help bridge the nation's budget deficit by bringing in $9.30 an hour plus tips.

"I know that all of us, all Americans are struggling." said Biden in a phone interview, "And I knew that I had to do my part to help us. That's why I work double-shifts six days a week here, acting as both a short-order cook and a waiter."

The Vice President took the job after the 2009 federal deficit was estimated at $1.75 trillion dollars. Biden's work at the restaurant is estimated to reduce that deficit by almost $300 per week.

Other members of the Washington establishment are working to do their parts. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been mopping floors at the Pentagon, while Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) has been advising the ACLU.

"This is a great idea," said Biden, "'Cause I'm a great guy. Stuff I'm learning here I'm going to use at the White House. Look out, America."

Biden also stated that he can now make "one mean grilled-cheese sandwich."

Obama Heard Calling Secretary Clinton a "Broad"

Alfred Friedman
San Diego Sun Times
Nothing Escapes Us Under the Sun

In what observers are calling "callous chauvinism," President Barack Obama was heard on tape denigrating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a discussion with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, calling her a "broad."

Obama was reportedly frustrated that Secretary Clinton, his former primary rival, did not secure a key trade deal with China last week. According to Emanuel's staff, the President expected the deal to be one of the landmarks of his early foreign policy.

The recording, was dismissed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs as "a misinterpretation." Gibbs would not go into further detail. The Washington Post's editorial board also declined to comment on the story.

When listened to, the recording of the President states that, "...I really needed her to do this. (inaudible) ... another failure. She told me that she didn't want (inaudible)." The President is then interrupted by a question from Emanuel, to which Obama replied, "She told me that she didn't want to do it. But she has to realize that I'm in charge, Rahm. She just can't go spouting her own views on important trips like some broad from downstate New York."

The tape was released to the press, despite the objections Chief of Staff Emanuel. After the Governor Rod Blagojevich scandal, Emanuel's conversations have been taped by staff, which makes it possible for all of his conversations with the President to be monitored.

This controversy comes at a time when Obama's approval rating is slipping with the American public, and Secretary Clinton is rumored to be contemplating resignation.

Secretary Clinton was unable to be reached for comments because of her trip to the Middle East.

Obama Planning Almost $1 Billion for Gaza

Despite being controlled by the terrorist group Hamas and having provoked a recent war with our ally Israel, the United States government is planning on giving the Gaza Strip almost one billion dollars.

Of course our government knows what it wants the money to be spent on: civil buildings, reconstructing infrastructure, and the like. However, it can be almost guaranteed that some of this money will go to Hamas or its affiliates.

Such irresponsibility is not only adding to our national debt, but is also opening up Israel to another attack. In addition, if a lot of money is not going to the Palestinian people, but instead their theocratic overlords, then how are they benefitting?

We need to rethink these strategies and try to actually do the right thing instead of simply attempting to please Hamas or the "world community." At this rate, a "stimulus package" to Iran may actually happen in the next four to eight years.

But at least it's change.

The money, which needs U.S. congressional approval, will be distributed through U.N. and other bodies and not via the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, said one official.

"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," said the official, who asked not to be named as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton planned to announce the funding at a donors' conference in Egypt next week.

Sure....

Hillary Asks China to Buy Our Debt

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an official state visit to China, and while there she made sure to ask the Red Chinese to continue buying our debt.

"By continuing to support American Treasury instruments the Chinese are recognising our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together," Clinton said at the US embassy here.

Truly, she said it all. Now we're officially tying the future of our economy to the world's biggest autocracy. We're also making sure that they know it, too.

Clinton had sought to focus on economic and environmental issues in Beijing, saying Washington's concerns about the human rights situation in China should not be a distraction from those vital matters.

So after eight years of President Bush stating flatly that human rights are forefront in our policy, in one stroke it's reversed. Hillary (and by extension Obama) would rather have us fat and happy than Chinese peasants not get jailed for speaking their mind. The American Left is the first to state that they want to fight for human rights, but they are usually the last to do so.

Obama Threatens North Korea with "Strongly Worded Letter" if they Fail to Stop Nuclear Weapons Program

Washington- In what officials are calling a “break” from the normally “level-headed” President, Barack Obama has threatened North Korea with a strongly worded letter should they continue developing Nuclear Weapons.

“We will not sit idly by as North Korea threatens its neighbors with war and weapons,” President Obama said Wednesday at a press conference in Mesa, Arizona. “Therefore, we plan to send Pyongyang and Mr. Jong-Il a letter if he should not heed our words.”

“The benefits of accepting our wishes are great,” Obama continued. “We offer economic support, we will not impose sanctions, and we offer our hand in friendship. But if not, we will send a very strongly worded letter that will not please anyone in North Korea.”

Obama continued, “I am speaking to you directly, Mr. Jong-Il, you will be red in the face when you read this letter.”

As tensions rise between North Korea, South Korea, and the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has travelled to Seoul, South Korea to talk about a possible power struggle for Pyongyang.

While there, Clinton has denounced the Bush administration’s handling of the 1994 Agreed Framework between the United States and North Korea. The agreement, which ended North Korea’s bid continue its plutonium-based weapons program, was ended in 2006. At the time, the Bush administration accused Pyongyang of sustain a highly enriched Uranium Program.

“As a result, she said, the North had restarted and accelerated its plutonium program, allowing it to build a nuclear device that it had detonated in 2006.”

Why is Obama Nominating All of these Crooks? I Have an Answer

Now, not everyone that President Obama has nominated to his cabinet have been terrible people, but it appears that the new President seems to be lax with his personal judgment. He is picking the cadre that will guide executive policy for at least four years.

But for some reason, some of these people are just... off. Geithner, Richardson, and now Daschle are all ethically challenged. Only one of them (Geithner) really has the competence to make up for this flaw. And Nancy Killefer is also withdrawing. And Governor Napolitano of Arizona is unfit for the position of Head of the Department of Homeland Security.

Is President Obama an idiot? Or is his staff incompetent?

Far from it.

President Obama is nominating a bunch of people with checkered pasts. His staff is very good at finding out information and keeping it secret. What may be happening is that President Obama knows that these people, if chosen, would owe him for their position. In turn, they would be subservient to him personally, and not as much to their positions.

Much of his cabinet is now subservient to the President, solidifying his power base. No longer is the executive branch the President advised and assisted by his cabinet, but appears to be transforming into a chamber of nepotism and incompetence.

Even Hillary Clinton factors in. Obama sees her as enemy number one and took her out of her influential position in the Senate. Now, she can't work on her signature issues: health care and women's issues. President Obama is expecting some failures in foreign policy over the next few years. Expect Secretary of State Clinton to be blamed for these. Any successes will be due to 'President Obama's foresight.'

Pay attention, this guy is smarter than you want to believe.
