On the news this morning I heard that President-Elect Obama will be briefed today by the National Intelligence Director. The length of the briefing, according to news sources, will depend on how many questions Mr. Obama has.
Since the moment that it happened I have said that Obama’s encounter with “Joe the Plumber” would be his Mondale Moment.
Obama’s numbers have been steadily decreasing since his conversation with Joe and the ensuing firestorm. Of course, the snooping into Joe’s private life fed the storm with more fuel.
So now, here we are, the day before Election Day and I have found a song that sums up Obama’s plan for the economy.
Think of me when it gets stuck in your head and go VOTE!
Obama is working hard to push the idea that he is going to give the middle class (whatever that is) a plump, juicy, flavorful tax cut.
What he isn’t saying however is that the Bush tax cuts are expiring and that will result in a tax increase and if you disagree with paying higher taxes, then you’re selfish.
We’ve heard a lot about Barack Obama’s tax plan over the last few days.
None of the propaganda or talking points from the candidate, or the campaign was more telling however, than Obama’s comments directly to “Joe the Plumber” at a campaign stop in Ohio.
I’ve said a couple of times that I believe that Obama will rue the day he had that conversation. It very well may prove to be his “Mondale Moment”.
In his own unique and inimitable style, Glenn Beck sums up Barack Obama and all of his “bad luck”:
GLENN: What are the odds? What are the odds that in North Kansas City a couple would get a — would get their credit card bill back… and they would find — they are McCain supporters, and they would find on their credit card bill a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign? What could this guy — you know what? I have to tell you something. I’ve had a “Come to Jesus” moment on Barack Obama and there’s two ways to really look at this. There’s this guy is surrounded by some of the most evil people you could possibly imagine. The signs are everywhere. I mean, it’s one thing after another after another after another, and you could start to say, “Wait a minute, I’m not buying any of these excuses,” or, or you could say, “Well, he’s just the most unlucky guy ever.” Now, I used to be at the “I don’t think I buy any of these excuses.” But you know what? After seeing that last credit card thing with the ACORN and you’re like, “Okay, now somebody is stealing credit cards and making donations to the Obama campaign.” You could say, you know what, everybody who’s nefarious seems to be involved in helping this guy get elected. But that’s just — you know what it is. Luck. Because hard work, you don’t — look. The one thing I’ve learned is you don’t really control your own destiny. People are going to do everything they can to keep you down. You don’t trust — you don’t — you won’t be able to make it and that’s what’s happening to Barack. He’s just trying to make it. He’s just trying — and think of the odds that he is overcoming. Think of the horrible — look, you think you had it bad? You have no idea what life is like if you’re Barack Obama. I know he’s ahead in the polls and everything and I know he’s probably going to do an unbelievable job at winning this November, but it’s way closer than it should be. Why is that? Policies? No. He’s hopeful, he’s changish. Bad luck. Read the rest of this entry »
Barack Hussein Obama states at a December 2007 community organizer forum that he will invite ACORN to “shape the agenda” during transition period and he will allow them to be actively involved during the first 100 days of his administration.
Got that?
The people who helped facilitate the mortgage mess and the people who have been engaging in voter fraud for years will play a direct role in an Obama Administration.

This will give Obama something to think about tonight in his DC hotel.
Federal Agents announced today that they have enough evidence to indict longtime Obama friend and close associate Illinois Governor Blagojevich.
Sources tell CBS 2 News Chicago that Federal agents claim to have enough evidence to indict Blagojevich on fraud and conspiracy charges. However, the report says the investigators aren’t the ones who make the decision to prosecute. That would be up to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and the Justice Department in Washington.
Prosecutors also mentioned Blagojevich in an indictment as the intended beneficiary of at least one extortion attempt by Blagojevich fundraiser and businessmen Antoin “Tony” Rezko.
Rezko was convicted June 4 on 16 of the 24 counts against him. He awaits sentencing in October on mail and wire fraud, aiding and abetting bribery and money laundering convictions. He still faces two more trials.
The Chicago Sun-Times has reported Rezko could cut his prison time significantly by cooperating in investigations of other public figures, including Blagojevich.
When Charlie Gibson interviewed Sarah Palin he did his absolute dead level best to pin her to the wall by using her comments about God and prayer against her.
This video puts her comments into perspective with a little bit of historical review.
