Barack Obama

When Barack Obama snagged the support of billionaire bundler George Soros just hours after he announced his bid for President, the ladies and gents of the donor-sphere (particularly the Hillary partisans) had to work hard to stifle a collective gasp. Then came the news that Orin Kramer, a well-established supporter of the Clintons, had defected to Mr. Obama’s camp. Now the Senator has begun throwing full-on fund-raisers, and the list of names he’s lined up for his host committees is impressive. There are prominent African-American business leaders and entertainment execs. There are old-time Democrats and young machers-in-training—some of whom were actually graduates of the first Clinton White House. There is even a reformed Bush-campaign “Pioneer”: Chelsea Piers president Tom Bernstein.

Naturally, opponents are waiting for them to stumble on their own hype.

Tom Bernstein—president and co-founder of Chelsea Piers and one of the principal owners of the Texas Rangers with George W. Bush

Michael Froman—a Citigroup executive who befriended Mr. Obama at Harvard Law School and, later, spent seven years in the Clinton administration, including several as Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin’s chief of staff

Anne Fudge—chairman and C.E.O. of Young and Rubicam Brands and the first African-American woman to head a global advertising agency

Earl Graves—publisher of Black Enterprise magazine who spent a cozy night at Camp David during the late Clinton years

Andre Harrell—former Motown Records president and music impresario who helped to launch the careers of Mary J. Blige, Jodeci and boy-band crooners 98 Degrees

Orin Kramer—hedge-fund manager who Bill Clinton appointed to the Commission to Study Capital Budgeting

Jeh Johnson—partner at Paul Weiss who served as general counsel of the Air Force during the Clinton White House years and special counsel to John Kerry’s 2004 Presidential campaign

Tracy Maitland—young asset-management executive who happens to manage Russell Simmons’ fortune

Brian Mathis—managing director of Provident Group and Friend of Obama from the Harvard days who also worked in the Treasury Department during the Clinton administration

Ray McGuire—prominent Citigroup investment banker and fellow Harvard Law School alum

Eric Mindich—Wall Street whiz-kid who became a partner at Goldman Sachs at 27 and has since served as an advisor to John Kerry

Antonio (L.A.) Reid—chairman of Island Def Jam Music Group and one of the country’s most influential African-American record executives

James Rubin—private equity manager (and son of Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin) who served as a New York finance director during Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign

George Soros—billionaire financier who conservatives believe runs the world

Jonathan Soros—son of George

Josh Steiner—managing principal of Steve Rattner’s Quadrangle Group and onetime chief of staff to Clinton Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen

James Torrey—mega-fund manager who was one of Howard Dean’s prominent New York supporters in 2004

Jamie Whitehead—New York finance director for John Kerry’s 2004 campaign

Robert Wolf—chief operating officer of UBS Investment Bank

Chris Dodd

Senator Christopher Dodd is not part of his party’s Big Three Presidential contenders, but pol-watchers would be foolish to underestimate his fund-raising muscle. He’s a likeable guy and he’s well-known, at least in this part of the country. He’s also chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, putting him in a plum position to make big asks of big Wall Street players, many of whom have already proved all too happy to oblige. As of the last campaign-finance filing, he had $5 million in his war chest, placing him second only to Hillary in the money race. Said his old pal Richard Plepler: “He has a lot of friends here, and I am not having a hard time gathering money.”

Ken Brody—investment banker and former Goldman Sachs partner who was nominated by Bill Clinton to be president and chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States

John Eastman—entertainment lawyer and brother of Linda McCartney

Dick Ebersol—NBC Sports czar and member of the Democratic Martha’s Vineyard vacation crew

Tom Flexner (co-chair)—vice chairman of Bear Stearns

Jane Hartley (co-chair)—C.E.O. of the G7 Group, associate director in the Carter White House and Friend of Dodd since the 1970’s

Richard Plepler—executive vice president of HBO who got his start as an aide to Senator Dodd in the early 1980’s

IMO, Nothing less than a total rejection of the two National party candidates, or a useless, but principled vote for a qualified 3rd party candidate, is rational.

i couldn't agree more.

To not vote and allow an open border, war mongering, liberty snatching liar and criminal get 4 years in the WH is to be an accomplice to his deeds, IMO.

Here in SoCal, we've been screaming about the open border for decades - our complaints fell on deaf ears. Nothing has been done about it, not by Reagan, not by anyone.

So what's new? The war, the 100 years of war that McCain dreams about every night.

I didn't say not to vote.

A vote (if in fact it's tallied) for the R or D will yield all that you outlined above. Obama has as his richest donor a socialist, gun-grabber who yearns for a one world government. We both agree yet you somehow rationalize voting for a lesser of two evils? Our entire voting life has been this non-option and it's driven this nation ever leftward. It took me awhile, but I finally cought on. Is left the direction you want to go? If not, vote 3rd party, or stay with RP - he's still running, right? And since when is any righteous vote wasted? Is a vote valid only when cast for someone with a winning potential, even if by winning we lose?

I don't think it makes a bit of difference, do you? If no, have a ball. If you aren't sure it makes a difference then you're affirming a corrupt process that offers a false hope to the less aware among us. Here's where we could provide some education to the duped - incidentally when RP failed to offer this educational opportunity his candidacy fell apart.

In '04 I voted Constitution Party, but only b/c CA went clearly for Kerry. If it is close in CA I will cast my vote against McCain, otherwise, I will vote Constitution Party or write in Ron Paul. I see this as realistic voting.

I admire Dr. Paul very much. I think we need a new standard bearer for Dr. Paul's message.

There is only "ONE" party. It makes no difference whom you vote for.

All of these former Clintonistas are backing "The 'Bama Man" for one reason-the 22nd amendment.

If Bill was running again these folks wouldn't have jumped ship, and in fact Barack probably wouldn't even be running.

The message is clear, and Bill better not even raise an eyebrow when Hillary sees this. And, G_d help him if he snickers!

The treasonous Clinton years were easier for Americans than the Bush years; although completely downhill.

Maybe one side of the coin has less sandpaper?

BTW I found this wiki entry for Soros (Schwarz).

Soros is famously known for "breaking the Bank of England" on Black Wednesday in 1992. With an estimated current net worth of around $8.5 billion, he is ranked by Forbes as the 80th-richest person in the world.[1]

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote in 2003 in the foreword of Soros' book The Alchemy of Finance:

"George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but - more important - tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."

Now dear purist friend, compare him to Henry Kissinger, who supports and advises McCain.

Would you also have said that about FDR?

Would you also have said that about JFK?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

So, you would say that FDR had made no fundamental change in the system, and JFK was not attempting to make one.

A lot of people would be satisfied with that much change.

Some of these Jews were directly responsible for plunging America into WWII by deliberately alienating America from anti-Communist countries such as Germany and Japan long before the outbreak of hostilities.

I figured Benjamin would be a part of whatever you referred to.

Benjamin had wealth and 150 black people that slaved seven days a week to make that wealth.

Benjamin later ran so as to not be tried by the Yankees. He lived out his life in England.

The South sold it to finance the war. The major buyers were northern Jews that shipped it overseas at huge profits. Grand and sherman had them banned ferom their command areas. Two days later the Jew controllers in DC came into Lincolns office and made him over rule Sherman and Grant.

That was 150 years ago, look what we have now, no blacks and wall to wall Jews in government.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (photo at right), president of the United States of America, 1933-1945, was himself partly of Dutch-Jewish ancestry.

Well, Joseph Goebbels and his Ministry of Propaganda certainly repeatedly made that claim. But I can't say I've ever seen it supported in a reliable source.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

So let me understand what it is you're saying; you disregard my source as Goebbels-like propaganda, without offering a source of your own as rebuttal. I'd say your argument resembles the blind loyality FReeple People show to Herr Bush.

You want a source? The Wikipedia entry on the Roosevelt family certainly mentions the family's Dutch origins, but makes no mention of any Jewish ancestry.

By the way, if you bother to look at pp. 84-86 of Jeffrey Herf's The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World War II and the Holocaust, you will see that claims like yours about Roosevelt's Jewish ancestry and lists of all the Jews in his administration are to be found in such documents coming out of Goebbels's Propaganda Ministry as the Directive: Jews in the USA [Hauptthema: Juden in den USA] of May 30, 1941.

By the way, here's an interesting passage from Hitler's Table Talk, dated July 1, 1942 [I quote from Hugh Trevor-Roper's translation, but I checked the original German, and it's there too]:

Roosevelt, who both in his handling of political issues and in his general attitude, behaves like a tortuous, pettifogging Jew, himself boasted recently that he had "noble" Jewish blood in his veins. The completely negroid appearance of his wife is also a clear indication that she, too, is a half-caste.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Wikipedia Censorship, Corruption Deletes Criticism - The Washington Post was more blunt adding that the Lay story "further exposed the critical weakness of Wikipedia that prevents it from becoming the go-to source for Internet knowledge....unlike, say, the Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia has no formal peer review for its articles. They may be written by experts or insane crazy people. Or worse, insane crazy people with an agenda. And Internet access."
