Dual Loyalties Doom Obama

"Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House." - Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, father of Rahm Emanuel, predicting his son’s impact in an Obama administration (Ma'ariv, 6 Nov. 2008). History will record the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign to have been one in which American Arabs and Muslims were politically marginalized, ostracized and disparaged like no time before. Contrary to initial expectations, those bruised sensibilities are unlikely to find in President-elect Barack Obama the salve so desperately needed. The first hint of future disappointment came with ...

Cabinet post for Clinton roils Obamaland

Barack Obama's serious flirtation with his one-time rival, Hillary Clinton, over the post of secretary of State has been welcomed by everyone from Henry Kissinger to Bill Clinton as an effective, grand gesture by the president-elect. It's not playing quite as well, however, in some precincts of Obamaland. From his supporters on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, to campaign aides of the soon-to-be commander-in-chief, there's a sense of ambivalence about giving a top political plum to a woman they spent 18 months hammering as the compromised standard-bearer of an era that deserves to be forgotten. "These are people who believe in this stuff more than Barack ...
Obama win allows some to finally feel 'American'

Obama win allows some to finally feel 'American' Dawn Turner Trice November 17, 2008 After the Sept. 11 terror attacks, I borrowed a flag that my great uncle had received for his service in the Korean War. I let it wave outside my house. At that moment, I had never felt so wholly American. But after a while, anti-Muslim sentiments began to grow, the "we are all one" feelings started to deteriorate and the country lapsed back into its normal divisions. Disenchanted, I took my uncle's flag down.I thought about this recently when I met an older African-American man who told me, almost in passing, that the election of Barack Obama as ...
Bill’s foundation may be barrier to State post

Barack Obama isn’t likely to offer the Secretary of State post to Hillary Clinton unless he’s given assurances Bill Clinton’s global charitable foundation won’t create future conflicts of interest with foreign governments, according to a person familiar with the situation. It’s not clear why the foundation issue has emerged as a potential barrier just now: During the primary campaign, Clinton’s team made it clear Bill Clinton would serve as a goodwill ambassador, but would significantly curtail his overseas fundraising if his wife won the White House. The Clinton Global Initiative has earned widespread plaudits for its efforts to eradicate AIDS, malaria and ...

Did the Jewish vote win Florida? By Eric Fingerhut · November 14, 2008 The National Jewish Democratic Council did some number crunching, and found that the Jewish vote might have actually provided the winning margin for Barack Obama in one state -- Florida. Estimating the numbers of Jews which voted in 13 states and then allocating it to the two presidential candidates by the 78-21 percent ratio that exit polls found nationally for the Jewish vote, the NJDC found that the Jewish vote in the Sunshine State for Obama of 238,214 was more than 33,000 votes larger than his overall 205,000 vote margin of victory in the state. In other words, the Jewish vote, according to the estimate, ...

From the Desk of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton: Obama Advisor Valerie Jarrett Linked to Real Estate Scandals Barack Obama's personnel decisions as President-Elect are crushing any hopes that his administration will bring a new spirit of integrity and honesty to Washington. First there was the selection of Clinton attack dog Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff. Then there was the selection of another Clinton crony, John Podesta, to co-chair Obama's transition team. And now Barack Obama has tapped Valerie Jarrett to partner with Podesta in handling the transition. Who is Valerie Jarrett? Characterized as "the other side of Barack Obama's brain" by CBS News, ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Threats against a new president historically spike right after an election, but from Maine to Idaho law enforcement officials are seeing more against Barack Obama than ever before. The Secret Service would not comment or provide the number of cases they are investigating. But since the Nov. 4 election, law enforcement officials have seen more potentially threatening writings, Internet postings and other activity directed at Obama than has been seen with any past president-elect, said officials aware of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the issue of a president's security is so sensitive. Earlier this week, the Secret Service looked into the case ...

Audit: Sharpton campaign owes US nearly $500,000 By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer Devlin Barrett, Associated Press Writer 34 mins ago WASHINGTON – Federal auditors have concluded the Rev. Al Sharpton's 2004 campaign owes the government nearly $500,000 for illegal donations and other financial improprieties. Sharpton has been feuding with the Federal Election Commission for years over his accounting in his failed run for president, for which he received $100,000 in so-called government matching funds that authorities later concluded he did not deserve because he hadn't followed campaign laws. The auditors have now determined that Sharpton owes $486,803 to the U.S. ...

CHICAGO (AP) - President-elect Barack Obama will meet Monday with John McCain in talks that Obama's transition office said would focus on ways they can cooperate on an array of troublesome issues facing the country. The meeting will be the first since Obama, the Democratic Illinois senator, beat McCain, the Arizona Republican senator, by an Electoral College landslide in the Nov. 4 election. "It's well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality," Obama spokesman Stephanie Cutter said in announcing the meeting. Advisers to both men say ...

It’s too bad more Americans didn’t listen to the neocon wunderkind, Bill Kristol, before going to the polling places and voting for Barack Obama. Back in June, Kristol told the audience at an AIPAC conference there is little difference between Obama and McCain when it comes to Iran and the potential for conflict. “Obama’s not for cutting the defense budget,” said Kristol. “Obama’s not for pulling troops back from our forward positions around the world, with the exception of Iraq. Obama and McCain don’t actually differ, at least on paper, even on Iran, where they’re arguing about whether they would talk to [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad ...
The Good News: It's Not About Race

"You know what I like here? There's a bunch of black guys waiting in cars to shoot it up with a bunch of white guys, and it's not about race." Leave it to Spenser, the irrepressibly sarcastic Private Eye from Robert Parker's durable series of detective novels, to find the ironic humor in a potentially lethal situation. "Be about power and money, mostly," agreed Spenser's fearsome ally, Hawk, employing the economical street patois he employed while on the job (and abandoned, when it suited him, when he found himself in refined company). In this instance, as described near the climax of the 2005 novel Cold Service, the duo was quietly preparing for the ...

God Anoints Obama President GOP Call 'Heavenly Father' Baby-Eating Commie Terrorist LEWISVILLE, Texas — Something funny happened to the United States of America last Tuesday night. No riots took place. No martial law was called. No troops were deployed. No citizens disappeared. No voters were caged. No, instead, around 130 million peace-loving citizens cast their ballots in the 2008 general election, and in doing so, the nation’s first-ever bi-racial president was elected. You may have heard of him. His name is Barack Obama. The junior senator from Illinois ended his historic 21-month campaign for the White House by collecting 63 million votes, eight million more than ...

The RNC Throws A Pie In John McCain's Face Nine days after the election, the Republican National Committee is no longer interested in being friends with their nominee. They've filed suit today in courts in Louisiana and Washington, D.C. claiming that the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA)'s ban on soft money donations to parties is unconstitutional. This isn't one of those arcane debates. Republican activists, donors, state party chairs, national committee men and women HATED the soft money ban because they (a) well, many of them thought it was unconstitutional but (b) more prosaically, they worried it would give an energized Democratic Party an edge in fundraising ...
A New Political Party Is Needed

A New Political Party Is Needed Joel S. Hirschhorn Set aside any Obama euphoria you feel. The other important news is that third-party presidential candidates had a miserable showing this year, totaling just over one percent of the grand total with 1.5 million votes nationwide, compared to some 123 million votes for Barack Obama and John McCain. It couldn’t be clearer that Americans are not willing to voice their political discontent by voting for third-party presidential candidates. The two-party duopoly and plutocracy is completely dominant. The US lacks the political competition that exists in other western democracies. Without real political competition there is insufficient ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday that she would be honored to help President-elect Barack Obama in his new administration, even if he did hang around with an "unrepentant domestic terrorist." The Alaska governor said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer that she would be willing to help if Obama asked her for assistance on some of the issues she highlighted during this year's campaign, such as energy or services for special-needs children. "It would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration," said Palin, whom Sen. John McCain chose as his running mate in August.

Nov. 12, 2008 | Dazed and confused. A week after the election of Barack Obama, millions of American news junkies are in serious cold turkey, the big bump of withdrawal from two years of addiction to the dizzying ups and downs of a campaign that threatened never to end. Eat dirt, you sour Clintons, who said Obama was "unelectable." Obama's 8 million vote margin over his Republican opponent -- miraculously sparing us endless litigation and chad counting -- was an exhilarating testimony to his personal gifts and power of persuasion. And the formidable Michelle Obama, with her electric combo of brains and style, is already rewriting first ladyhood. The warm partnership of the ...

November 12, 2008 Is This Any Way to Treat Your Deceased ("Typical White") Granny?: When Will Barack Obama Bury Madelyn Dunham? Printer Friendly By Debbie Schlussel It's now been over nine full days since Madelyn Payne Dunham--Barack Obama's thrown-under-the-bus "typical White" grandmother who raised him--died. Yet, still no funeral. That's a pretty odd--not to mention, disrespectful--way to treat a grandmother you claim you love and who raised you, regardless of whether you are President-elect of the United States or just an average citizen. Regardless of whether you told the world she was a "typical White" racist. It was understandable ...

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's victory last week triggered an immediate accounting of debts to be paid off in constructing his new administration. There were those who speculated that Obama would be building a White House staff of loyal old Chicago hands. Others foresaw a bevy of Clintonistas. And still others had a vision of a kind of Kennedy redux that wags quickly dubbed "Obamalot." After all, Caroline Kennedy had emerged from her shell of shyness to head Obama's vice-presidential search team, after joining her Uncle Ted on a national barnstorming tour with Obama in the days leading up to Super Tuesday. Her exertion not only signaled her enthusiasm for Obama, but also her ...

One thing stands out in my mind from election night. It was the smug smile on that little two-faced Gramsci communist operative Stephanopolis. He was clearly so proud of himself as one of the conspirators who helped make it all happen, so happy that the communist underground has again pulled off the conquest of United States governance, so self-righteously sure that he is on the side of history and mankind in the destruction of bourgeois liberalism, of what America stood for to Franklin, Jefferson, Paine and Madison, of his superiority to all that, as he and his pals are secretly gloriying in the this new triumph of the communist conspiracy. The cat that swallowed the canary. The the ...
