City Vows To Bill Obama Campaign For All Costs Associated With Massive Outdoor Bash Election Day is less than two weeks away, and Chicago could be home to the biggest political party in the country. Construction is underway for a massive stage in Grant Park where Barack Obama could declare victory on election night. As CBS 2's Joanie Lum and Political Editor Mike Flannery report, tens of thousands are expected to gather before the stage on election night. One way or another, that huge crowd will witness history. The event would require massive security, but the Obama campaign promises that Chicago taxpayers will not have to foot the bill for police, fire and medical services that ...

Should Uninformed Voters Be Casting Their Vote on Nov. 4? We keep hearing how important it is for everyone to vote and that voting is our civic duty. Celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Leonardo DiCaprio, Diddy and Dave Matthews urge everyone to get out and vote. And to help people vote, voter registration groups such as HeadCount deploy volunteers to sign people up. Watch John Stossel's "Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics" at 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17. HeadCount focuses on registering young people at rock concerts and music festivals around the country. During the concerts, famous musicians such as Eddie Vedder and Jack Johnson implore their fans to sign up to ...
My Mother's Birth Certificate - And Obama's

My Mother's Birth Certificate - And Obama's October 22, 2008 Joan Swirsky (critical videos and documents below) Four years ago, when I had just about completed the lengthy legal and financial vetting process required by the U.S. government to place my then-92-year-old-mother in a nursing home, I was asked to produce her birth certificate as “proof” of her citizenship. While she was born in America, had voted in every election for untold decades, and paid her taxes religiously, that wasn’t good enough to qualify my elderly mother –deaf, legally blind, and confined to a wheelchair – to be admitted to the facility I had chosen for her near my home. ...

John McCain paid $175,000 of campaign money to a Republican operative accused of massive voter registration fraud in several states, it has emerged. As the McCain camp attempts to tie Barack Obama to claims of registration irregularities by the activist group ACORN, campaign finance records detailing the payment to the firm of Nathan Sproul, investigated several times for fraud, threatens to derail that argument. The documents show that a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the Republican National Committee and the California Republican Party, made the payment to Lincoln Strategy, of which Mr Sproul is the managing partner, for the purposes of “voter registration”. Mr ...

Obama citizenship questions continue Reported by: Jamie Holmes Email: jholmes@wptv.com Photographer: Cody Jackson Last Update: 10:08 pm WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- It's been Internet gossip for months. Is Barack Obama a U.S. citizen? "I think it's conspiracy theories run amuck," says WPTV political analyst Dr. Robert Watson. "The next thing we're going to hear is Barack Obama was at Roswell." Nonetheless an attorney in Philadelphia, Philip Berg, filed a lawsuit claiming Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian man. Berg says Obama failed to take an oath of allegiance when he turned 18. Obama has attempted to silence any critics ...

Albright Agrees: Terrorists Will Test Obama Tuesday, October 21, 2008 4:34 PM By: Rick Pedraza Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, one of the most prominent Hillary Clinton supporters now in support of Barack Obama, admits it is a “statement of fact” that the election of the Democratic senator from Illinois as president will result in him being tested by a generated international crisis by America’s enemies. Responding to last weekend’s comments by Obama’s vice presidential running mate Joe Biden — who said Obama would be tested within the first six months of his administration — Albright told CNN’’s John Roberts, “It’s ...
SPACE RESERVED FOR NEWS ON COURT ORDER (BERG Vs. OBAMA) [Full Thread]

I have, from good and reliable sources, information suggesting that the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick will come down with an order and memorandum either on Thursday or Friday. (Phil Berg moved for a summary judgment in his case against Obama and the DNC which among other things demand Obama produce his birth certificate.) This space is reserved for news on that order. Therefore, unless something monumental occurs over the next two days, I will not be reporting anything further so as to reserve this spot for news regarding the decision in the Berg v. Obama case. It should be easier for everyone that you can simply check this part of the page for news of the order without having to wade through ...

Recently, many Republicans have been complaining bitterly about John McCain’s failure to take advantage of many of Barack Obama’s obvious weaknesses. In particular, why has the McCain campaign ignored Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s white-bashing pastor? Today, McCain finally released an ad revealing Obama’s history with the disgraced minority activist group ACORN, which pressured banks to make risky loans and has a history of voter registration fraud. But why did it take McCain so long to raise this association when it is so embarrassing for Obama? And why hasn’t McCain used the financial crisis as an occasion to denounce affirmative action, which is deeply unpopular with ...
A McCain 'Win' Will Be Theft, Resistance Is Planned

If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying. You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, D.C., which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed. A McCain "win" will not be illegitimate because I disagree with his policies, but because he himself has rendered it illegitimate. He and his campaign and allied supporters have sought to illegally remove hundreds of thousands of voters from the rolls, fraudulently registered people as Republicans without their knowledge and against their will, ...

Okay, that title is a cheap sensationalist tactic to get you to read this article. But before all you extreme left-wing progressives rush to your keyboards to condemn me for using a Nazi reference in the same sentence with the patron saint of changeyness, let me clarify for you that I am engaging in hyperbole and that I will employ that technique along with the use of irony and dark humor in this article. You can Google these terms if they are unfamiliar to you. I feel the need to make this clarification because it is apparent of late that no amount of irony is able to penetrate the fog of Obama mania which has settled over the consciousness of the so-called progressive liberal community. ...

Headline Story Obama Ignores Credit Card Donation Fraud Tuesday, October 21, 2008 10:01 PM By: Kenneth R. Timmerman What do Bart Simpson, Family Guy, Daffy Duck, King Kong, O.J. Simpson, and Raela Odinga have in common? All are celebrities; and with the exception of Odinga and O.J. Simpson, they also are fictional characters. And yet, all of them gave money earlier this month to the campaign of Barack Obama, without any apparent effort by the campaign to screen them out as suspect donors. The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from ...

ATLANTA -- Lorene Smith was in her twenties when she marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. She witnessed first-hand all kinds of history-book images -- the fire hoses, police dogs and flailing billy clubs. Florida supporters of Sen. Barack Obama attend a campaign rally Oct. 20 in Tampa, Fla. Now, at 65, she has graying hair and a bad back that prevents her from standing too long. She is taking no chances with a ballot she once believed could never be cast -- a vote for an African-American presidential candidate. "We gonna have two little black girls in the White House running up and down the hallways to find their ...

What Will Obama’s “International Crisis” Be? Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Joe Biden’s “guarantee” that an “international crisis” will unfold shortly after President Obama takes office conjures up several different possibilities, but it seems the likely outcome will revolve around an announcement that Iran has developed a nuclear bomb, prompting a potential military attack. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy,” Biden told an audience in Seattle this past weekend. “Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. ...

Wed Oct 22, 7:16 am ET ST. PAUL, Minn. – Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she regrets using the term "anti-American" while discussing Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's views, a remark that could threaten her re-election bid. Bachmann told the St. Cloud Times on Tuesday that she "made a big mistake" by going on MSNBC's "Hardball," a show she said she'd never seen before her appearance last week. Her statement to host Chris Matthews that Obama "may have anti-American views" drew condemnation and helped her opponent, Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg, raise more than $1 million in just a few days. During an interview with ...
Police prepare for unrest on Election Day

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest. Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence. Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors. ...

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August. According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74. The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September. The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August. The cash expenditures immediately raised questions among ...

Participating in the general election will cost Lane County voters an extra 17 cents, and the news is giving some of them fits. Chalk it up to a candidate-rich and measure-heavy environment, said county elections official Annette Newingham. So many contests and measures had to be included that the ballot, on heavy card-stock paper, wound up being 2 inches longer than normal, pushing it, plus the secrecy envelope, plus the main return envelope, just beyond the 1-ounce weight limit for a 42-cent stamp. There was no way to shrink the ballot and keep it legible, Newingham said. “I’ve had a lot of people mad at me because of this,” she said. Jim Stephenson, who lives in Santa ...

Bill Moyers: Will Your Vote Be Counted?

Video here; www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/10172008/watch3.html October 17, 2008 BILL MOYERS: Many years ago one of my mentors, Arkansas Congressman Brooks Hays, used to tell of a constituent who was asked how she intended to vote on Election Day. "Oh," she replied, "I never vote. It only encourages them." That skepticism may be justified but it's certainly not fashionable this year. Voter turn out all across the country is expected to be at record highs. But another kind of skepticism is in order... when you vote, will your vote be counted? Since the fiasco in Florida in 2000 and the questions about Ohio in 2004, fears abound about the security of our election ...

By BOB HERBERT Published: October 20, 2008 It never ends. The Republican Party never gets tired of spraying its poison across the American political landscape. So there was a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann, telling Chris Matthews on MSNBC that the press should start investigating members of the House and Senate to determine which ones are “pro-America or anti-America.” Can a rancid Congressional committee be far behind? Leave it to a right-wing Republican to long for those sunny, bygone days of political witch-hunting. Ms. Bachmann’s demented desire (“I would love to see an exposé like that”) is of a piece with the ...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business. The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel. In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some ...

HOW I SEE IT: Obama questions just keep piling up Martha Dudley Published: October 20, 2008 John McCain’s parents were both U.S. citizens. He was born at a U.S. Naval base in Panama, a U.S. territory at the time. There is no question that he is eligible for the office of president of the United States, according to the requirements set forth by our Constitution. Barack Hussein Obama is another story. Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen, and his mother did not meet the requirements to confer automatic citizenship on him. Therefore, Obama would have to have been born inside the U.S. in order to be a U.S. citizen. Attorney Phillip Berg, a former Pennsylvania Democratic party ...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 20) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is canceling nearly all his campaign events Thursday and Friday to visit his suddenly gravely ill 85-year-old grandmother in Hawaii, a spokesman said. Robert Gibbs told reporters aboard Obama's plane that Madelyn Payne Dunham, who helped raise Obama, was released from the hospital late last week. But he said her health had deteriorated "to the point where her situation is very serious." Events originally planned for Madison, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday will be replaced by one in Indianapolis before he makes the long flight to Hawaii. On Friday, Obama's wife, Michelle, will sub for ...
