11/7 Obama's draft goes down the memory hole
http://tinyurl.com/63mbfa (LGF)
\_ Oh please, let me quote the GOP from when that pompous cybersec guy
came to ask cs studentds help in 02. "GET OVER IT."
\_ You guys are irrelevant. No one cares what you think anymore.
Shut up and eat your Freedom Fries.
\_ Don't you care at all about the president elect? If he lies,
does it matter? If he breaks promises, does it matter?
\_ Little Green Footballs - yep, nobody cares what they think.
\_ Sigh. The post shows screenshots of how the page has
changed. It's fairly spread over the blogosphere now.
Pick a source you're not scared of for your facts and
you should be able to find it.
\_ What's really sad is that you apparently think web
site revisions are something sinister.
\_ Policy changes via website revision. Oh, and $40/hr
for "volunteerism" now.
\_ Actually I remember him talking about tax credits
for college volenteer service back when he was on
the stump.
\_ Dittohead Grieving Status: Denial
\_ How will you be able to tell when it hits Anger?
\_ That would imply progress. Dittoheads are
agin' progress.
\_ Now that Obama has won, there will never be another
Republican in the government! Dems will rule for 1000 years!
\_ Someday the Republicans will be in power again, but it won't
be soon and it certainly won't be with Palin.

64% of Republicans want Palin as the 2012 nominee. I
sincerely hope that she is, so the Democratic Party can get
one of those 49 state landslides Reagan got.
\_ Really, it's quite amazing you let the press manipulate
your impression of her.
\_ Really, it's quite amazing how deluded you are.
\_ I wasn't being sarcastic. I really would like nothing
better than for the Republicans to nominate her for
President in 2012.
\_ Did she or didn't she sneeringly and contemptuously
refer to Obama's "San Francisco friends" in front of
100M people in her first serious public appearance?
That's me! She treats me with comtempt and I am supposed
That's me! She treats me with contempt and I am supposed
to turn the other cheek? I am not that kind of guy.
\_ Dude, your eight years are up. SHUT THE FUCK UP. GO AWAY.
YOU LOST.
\_ Obama bought the election:

This is how it read at the time: The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation's challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start. The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation's challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start. Require 100 Hours of Service in College: Obama and Biden will establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year. |
| tinyurl.com/6blkpg -> www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_2012/69_of_gop_voters_say_palin_helped_mccain Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain's bid for the presidency, even as news reports surface that some McCain staffers think she was a liability. Only 20% of GOP voters say Palin hurt the party's ticket, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Six percent (6%) say she had no impact, and five percent (5%) are undecided. Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable. When asked to choose among some of the GOP's top names for their choice for the party's 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin. The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year -- Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%. Three other sitting governors - Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Charlie Crist of Florida and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota - all pull low single-digit support. Republicans were happier with their vice presidential candidate than with their presidential nominee. Seventy-one percent (71%) said McCain made the right choice by picking Palin as his running mate, while only 65% said the party picked the right nominee for president. The key for the 44-year-old Palin will be whether she can broaden her base of support. An Election Day survey found that 81% of Democrats and, more importantly, 57% of unaffiliated voters had an unfavorable view of her. Palin, Alaska's first woman governor, was elected to a four-year term in 2006. She was largely unknown nationally until McCain chose her to be the party's vice presidential candidate. She quickly became a darling of the GOP's conservative base and energized the party's rank-and-file. Speculation about her future has run high for weeks when it appeared Barack Obama was likely to beat McCain. Already this week there is talk of her possibly taking the seat of embattled Republican Senator Ted Stevens if he manages to hang on and win won reelection despite recent federal felony convictions. Stevens would have to step down if his appeal of the convictions is unsuccessful. Palin could also run for another term as Governor in the state where she still enjoys very high approval ratings. Among Republicans, 66% of men and 61% of women say Palin is their choice for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Sixty-six percent (66%) of GOP women have a Very Favorable view of her, as do 64% of men. While Palin's high favorables suggest she has a bright political future in the Republican Party, it is important to note that favorites four years out from a presidential election quite often do not get the nomination. Obama, for example, was just an Illinois state senator four years ago, and Hillary Clinton appeared a shoo-in for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Similarly, vice presidential candidates historically have seldom risen to the highest office by election. Republicans are closely divided over the two most important issues in the next presidential election: 31% say economic issues, 30% say national security. Fifteen percent (15%) list fiscal issues, followed by cultural issues (12%) and domestic issues (6%). Palin is overwhelmingly the top choice for 2012 among voters in all these categories. Over two-thirds of Republicans describe themselves as conservative in terms of foreign policy, fiscal and social issues. Eighty percent (80%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Huckabee, including 46% Very Favorable. Eighty-one percent (81%) view Romney favorably, with 45% Very Favorable. Fifteen percent (15%) have an unfavorable opinion of him. Jindal, Pawlenty, and Crist are far less known than the other candidates. Roughly 40% of GOP voters have no opinion one way or the other of these three Republican Governors.

| www.sodahead.com/question/183578/did-barack-obama-buy-the-election/?link=GCPA_BuyVote_q183578_lb1 As everyone knows, Barack Obama has spent excessive amounts of money on his presidential campaign, with a total at least doubling that of John McCain's. Barack Obama took out ads in video games, and even had a special 30 minute infomercial broadcasted just for this 2008 presidential election. Obama is trying desperately to reach out to young voters and minority voters, but there gets to a point when you've gone too far. If you have to spend hundreds or billions of dollars to get elected, is it really about politics, or does it just come down to popularity and riches? Barack Obama was spending at a rate close to $91 million in just two weeks, where John McCain was only spending a mere $22 million in a two week period. reply Answered No, Barack Obama won the election based on his politics. You insult the people of United States inferring that we could be bought. To insinuate that people voted for him only because of his "color" would also insinuate that an equal amount of people voted for McCain (or against Obama) because of his color. If color is an issue, it exists on both sides of the coin. You don't think McCain was trying to garner some female voters by choosing Palin? If you are that much of a sore loser, maybe you should listen to your candidate's concession speech. Nobody here is going to change anyone else's opinion, but some of these accusations are incredible. If you are that concerned about this country, suck it up and contribute on a bipartisan level to improve things. "This was the first "of the people, by the people for the people" election EVER. Every dime was donated by actual Ameircans who suppported this man. Not lobyyists and special interest groups hoping ot place a bribe (read, McCain)". What about the documented donations made to his campaign by illegal aliens. Specifically his Auntie Zeituni, who has been in the United States illegally for 4 years. I think he is going to be just like any other politician. I guess it shows the condition of our educational system... NO al qaeda did , and the rest of the terrorists he is in league with. But wait, when your freedoms are stripped away and have no more right to bare arms or freedom of speech or have every man woman and child do 50 hours of community service and so on, or in 2009 when Bush's tax cut plan is no longer in effect and taxes skyrocket , you all will be thinking differently. as you are thinking I am right now, but think again, I am not . As long as their is race there will be racism, on every side, black, brown, red, yellow or white. Voting for Obama because he is black is just as racist as not voting for Obama because he is black. The votes he got was because he is a smooth talker,he has charisma. Well, I don't know but I do know he did not get it legally. My opinions of Obama have nothing to do with the color of his skin. First there is the issue of whether he is even a legal US citizen. There are authentic legal documents showing him as a citizen of Indonesia. If he gave up his US citizenship for any reason or whether he has dual citizenship both exclude him from being a legal president of the US. Then there are the lies about his association with Ayers and Acorn. Next, there is the fact that he refused to make public all the records regarding where his campaign donations actually did come from. Shall we discuss the millions he and some of his top advisors took from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that helped put the economy and housing in the mess it is now? What about his private police that will be more powerful than the police and military. Hitler had a private police force as did Saddam Hussein. They remind me of spoiled children who have temper tantrams when they don't get their way. They will do anything to get what they want including registering cartoon characters to vote. Won because it was time for a change and John McCain would not be the one to get the job done. He is too old for one and he does not give a shit about anyone but his owe kind. Unfortunately people who never voted before, proudly voted not based on views or facts, but simply because he was the first African American to run. People would have had to read the issues & vote according to views instead of race. He won simply because ignorant people never thought out what he was saying. reply Answered No, Barack Obama won the election based on his politics. He won it fair and square it is about time America woke-up, realized change has come. All of you who voted McBush Cain "read my Lips" I will not be looking for you at the inauguration Especially, S Hannily You talked, talked, talked, all of that Bullshi- with Rev Wright, Weirs on down the line.

No matter how much money he collected and spent, not one dollar of it can be given to any one person and say, G0 vote for me. reply Answered No, Barack Obama won the election based on his politics. I'm only 23 and I don't want to continue live in an untidiness America which is a result of eight years of President George W Bush. I want more for America and myself, I want a better America than my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, I (also) want a better America for my future children and grandchildren. I believe and TRUST the the citizens of America made the RIGHT & BEST CHOICE for once in their lives and my lifetime. Any President over the whole world (except dictators) buy advertisement to win an election. But it does not mean that someone is buying the election. I think the question could be misunderstood because it's wrong. Usually that question asks if a President paid people to vote for him and this is something very different. If you are trying to ask that Obama spent too much money in his campaign is a different issue. This is the worst possible choice at the worst possible time. It's nothing to do with race, or necessarily the man himself. It's the policies and viewpoints he and all of those backing him hold. When you raise taxes on business and people the economy in general suffers with loss of jobs. That's not to mention a lot of the other social ramifications of this "selection." The media shielded the public from the real Barack, so when he makes himself and his policies known I'm... |
