How Will Media Spin Obama's 'It's the Post Office Always Having Problems?' (LOST WITHOUT TOTUS)
(Noel Sheppard)

Let's make one thing perfectly clear: Barack Obama without his teleprompter is like a trapeze artist without a net.

That was likely never more apparent than at the President's healthcare town hall meeting Tuesday when he actually said:

"I think private insurers should be able to compete. They do it all the time. I mean, if you think about, if you think about it, um, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. Right? The, uh, no they are. I mean, it's the post office that's always having problems."

Yep. The supposedly most intelligent person ever to be in the White House really said these words as a reason why Americans should trust government to provide healthcare

How will this disgraceful performance by the President be reported in the next 24 hours?

CRICKETS!

This alleged “town hall meeting” was packed with Democrats to ask approved questions...

Itwas hilarious to see the cheap and obvious preaching mode Obama was in. When was prowling the stage and gesticulating with arms and hands all the time. Using every ounce of effort to con the audience. This is all designed to create an atmosphere to transmit the facts as Obama sees them

If you ignore the theatrics Obama was reaching, rambling and unconvincing. Paying attention to the words (his loyal followers are unable to) Obama was illogical and babbling. Obama is the latest rap star. White youth buy lots of rap music and white America bought this rap stars con job and elected him president

Little girl at Obama town hall has not-so-random political connections

As we always like to point out: There are no coincidences in Obama world.

Via the Boston Globe: Surprise!

A girl from Malden asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire about the signs outside “saying mean things” about his health care proposal.

Eleven-year-old Julia Hall asked: “How do kids know what is true, and why do people want a new system that can — that help more of us?”

The question opened the door for the president to respond to what he called an “underlying fear” among the public “that people somehow won’t get the care they need.”

The girl later told the Globe that picking the president’s brain was “incredible.” “It was like a once in a lifetime experience,” she said.

Julia’s mother was an early Obama supporter in Massachusetts during the presidential election, so she had previously met First Lady Michelle Obama, the Obama daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Joe Biden.

“This was my first time meeting Barack Obama, and he’s a very nice man,” Julia said. “I’m glad I voted for him.”

Today's Hope and Change (FOR McCLATVHY ONLY READERS, WHO WILL NEVER SEE THIS)

Shocker! Little Girl Who Asked Obama Question at New Hampshire Town Hall Was a Plant

Julia Hall from Malden MA, the little girl who asked Obama a question today at his town hall meeting, was another in a long list of plants.

Julia Hall's mother, Kathleen-Manning-Hall, is Big Obama supporter and donor.
Kathleen has already met with First Lady Michelle, Joe Biden & O's daughters.

Another "coincidence" is that Julia said she lives in Malden MA and Kathleen Manning Hall's campaign contributions list the occupation "Legal Asst, Looney and Grossman LLP" and a home address in Malden MA, via the Huffington Post donation's page.

Looks like she donated $636 to Obama in 2008.

But at City Data.

This lists donations to Obama of:
$230 on 6/15/07,
$250 on 9/28/07,
$500 on 9/30/07,
$300 on 3/2/08.

And like all democrat phonies, we thought Dear Leader was being so authentic and spontaneous at his town hall meeting today.

Kathleen Hall's Facebook friend is Addisu Demissie, National Political Director of Organizing for America and former Ohio Get out The Vote director of Obama for America. Kathleen attended the Eastern Ball which the Obamas and Bidens also attended.

TOTUS Failed to Master Alinsky's Rule #12 (American Thinker)

Alinsky's 12th Rule of Tactics: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his sudden agreement with your demand and saying, ‘You're right - we don't know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us.'

Why is President Barack Obama suddenly drowning in a sea of widespread resistance to his centerpiece legislation?

Because it has now become quite clear to Harry & Louise Q Citizen that this was a man without a "constructive alternative" to the out-of-control healthcare system he has badgered and rhetorically beaten bloody to a pulp.

Obama himself, Organizer in Chief, had no plan. He proposed no plan to Congress. He has let committee after committee of witless tax-and-spend, haggard old liberals write the convoluted mess they're calling healthcare reform, and has virtually done nothing for own his part but bash the insurance companies, the doctors and even the patients, who ask for individual control over their own life-and-death choices.

Obama’s Green Thumb: Planting Astroturf in New Hampshire

As it turns out, the little girl appears to be the daughter of the woman on the right (the girl’s left).

That woman’s name is Kathleen Hall, a Democratic operative and supporter who gave the Obama campaign $1,991.00. But wait, there’s more. Hall’s employer, Looney and Grossman LLP, donated a total of $12,101.00 to Democratic campaigns and $0 to Republicans.

Hall also was a Page at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Additionally, there are pictures on the web and on Facebook that depict Hall and Barak Obama enjoying some camera time together and Hall wearing a T-shirt with “Presidential Inaugural ‘09″ printed on it.

What was Obama saying about “transparency,” again?

EDITORIAL: Potemkin Town Halls [Obama's Massive Stage Fraud & The MSM Acts As Enabler!] The Washington Times

President Obama should be charged with false advertising for calling yesterday's Portsmouth, N.H., event a "town-hall meeting." It was a staged, partisan campaign rally.

The Portsmouth rally was the first of three such events planned for this week. If nothing else, it was well-choreographed, if not completely scripted.

Time for a new lie: AARP has endorsed my health-care plan, says Obama (Hot Air)

Not the biggest lie of the day but a decent-sized catch. Even so, I feel guilty calling him on it. Does anyone doubt that the reliably lefty AARP brain trust really is backing this travesty, even if they haven’t formally endorsed it?

It’s like ACORN insisting they weren’t supporting any candidates in the presidential election last year. Surely The One can be forgiven the eminently reasonable assumption that they’re in the tank.

The country’s largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, “While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.”

How’s Obama going to avoid reducing Medicare benefits while promising to reduce overall Medicare spending? Why, by finding magical “savings and efficiencies within the health care system,” of course — the same sort of savings and efficiencies, presumably, that make the post office run so well. As you watch, try to get your mind around the fact that the biggest retiree lobbyist group in the country is formally undecided about a bill that’s guaranteed not only to cut into its constituents’ medical coverage but to force them to compete for doctors’ time with 47 million new insured people.

President's Town Hall On Health Care Draws Cheers, But Not Opposing Views (IBD Editorials)

SNIP... Yet Obama encountered a friendly, cheering crowd, as if at a campaign stop. While there were crowds of protesters outside, few seemed to make it inside.

He spoke for almost 20 minutes before questions. After several friendly questions, he urged people with tougher ones to step up.


"I don't want people thinking I just have a bunch of plants" in the audience, Obama said.


After two more mildly skeptical questions, Obama ended the town hall. He took nine questions in total.

How End-Users Suffer Under Socialism (IBD Editorials)

Economic Systems: If you ever wonder why we so resist socialism, consider the latest news out of that collectivist island paradise known as Cuba.

Snip

Central planners announced this week that they were fresh out of money to buy toilet paper — yes, toilet paper — for the island's 9 million citizens. But not to worry.

A nameless official for state-run monopoly Cimex and quoted by Reuters assured that "the corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper."

The predicament would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. But toilet tissue is hardly the only item Cuba is lacking. Food itself is in short supply, with red bean and chickpea rations cut by a third, according to the Miami Herald.

Special hard-currency-only stores for the elites have mysteriously failed to open after last week's "inventory," with no explanation given.

There's no gas, either. The Associated Press this week reported that state planners have decreed that oxen — yes, oxen — would replace tractors in the fields, a bid to conserve fuel. This, despite the fact that Cuba gets 100,000 barrels of oil a day from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela — effectively free, because Cuba never pays its bills.

But again, not to worry: Cuban socialists say the ox represents progress because it's so eco-friendly.

Yael Abouhalkah, The Star's leading liar on Obama's Death Care has an interesting column on The Star's midwest voices (where he seems to have assumed the role also of head hatemeister).

http://voices.kansascity.com/node/5413

He congratulates Obama for managing to control a tightly controlled audience of Democrat activists, praises Claire McCaskill for showing the "sheer ignorance" of her audience (she didn't) and criticizes Arlen Spector for wading into an audience that wasn't loaded with stooges.

The comparison to Medicare is a canard. The whole point is that Medicare is senior care while Obamacare is death care. Seniors are exactly correct to protect Medicare from Comrade Obama's socialist machinations.

As for Abouhalkah, he has once again shown that The Star's columnists have absolutely no value to the paper, and indeed, are a deceitful, unethical, ongoing embarrassment to both the paper and our community.

“Organizer in Chief”
“A community organizer is by definition an outsider, someone hired not by the community itself, but by outside political operatives attempting to gain a foothold in the community.
Think ACORN, that is who Obama really is.”
This was his only experience, and the MSM suppressed any questions about him. If the media was gaining any sympathy for their job loses, it is gone now. There are several references today to the liberal media, and what they have done. The election of a complete failure will be on their heads. Stealth thugs and goons describes journalists that followed orders to defraud the people of the USA.

On local issues Yael used to have some credibility, but it seems clear now that he's kissing Miriam Pepper's ass and pandering to her biases on the Midwest Voices blog.

Where his own columns on local issues tend to be knowledgeable and well thought out, his blog postings are hateful (particularly against Sarah Palin and her children) and just completely out of it.

If he's not just writing this crap to try and keep his job, he's become one of the biggest bigots at The Star.

Rush Limbaugh said he hoped Obama failed at his socialism plan. Remember how the liberal media tried to spin it into a huge negative by omitting the socialism part of the quote? Limbaugh is gaining listeners by the thousands each time Obooba the goon, stages another hoax. Rush knew who was pulling his strings from the start. That is why the so-called president and his henchmen tried to ‘get’ him on national TV. In the end, more people will respect a radio talk show host than a fraudulent half-white/half-black imposter. It is simply a matter of telling the truth.

NBC, CNN and MSNBC All Assign Communist LaRouche's Obama-Hitler Poster to Conservatives, Limbaugh
(Seton Motley)

The media have repeatedly stated how "angry," "hostile" and "ugly" town hall meetings across America are becoming.

They are of course largely ascribing the nastiness to conservatives voicing their opposition to (among other things) President Barack Obama and Congress' proposed government takeover of the health care system.

The press has been particularly offended by the "extreme" use of references to Adolf Hitler specifically and Nazis generally.

One image they have repeatedly used as an example of this alleged right-wing extremism is a poster of President Obama - on whose face a Hitler mustache has been Photo Shopped - bearing the caption "I've Changed."

According to a spokesman, Kennedy will not attend the ceremony -- his oldest child, Kara Kennedy will accept the award for him.

Democrats now taking refuge at SEIU offices

Rep. Bishop, Boswell having health care meetings allllll the way over *there*.

Tim Bishop (D, NY-01) is having something called a “health care reform rally” on Thursday, at (of all things) SEIU’s Hicksville NY offices (1199 Duffy Ave, starts at 1 PM).

This is otherwise known as “over twenty miles outside the borders of NY-01.” Bishop is of course one of the first Democrats holding down a Red district (NY-01 is a R+0) to discover that his constituents are paying attention to his votes:

He rather famously canceled his future in-district meetings. Presumably he assumes that his constituents won’t drive twenty miles to complain.

Meanwhile, Leonard Boswell (D, IA-03) has at least decided to stay in-district for his “health care listening post” - barely. Although his district includes Des Moines, Boswell has instead decided to travel 80 miles east this week to the Sigourney Public Library (Thursday, 2 PM).

He won’t be actually having any meetings on the subject in the Des Moine area (where the vast majority of his constituents live) for another two weeks. Still, at least he’s having them; apparently being D+1 can make the difference between in and out of district.

Neither one of these two Congressmen are freshmen, and neither were considered to be hardline liberals before this Congress. And both of them are clearly not interested in facing their constituents just quite yet. Very interesting, that.

Jackson-Lee: “In Congress, We Have to Multi-Task” (Patterico)

Houston Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee held a town hall meeting today in Houston where she demonstrated her multi-tasking skills:

“Occasional chastising punctuated the rest of the meeting, some comments accusing her of wasting time when introducing a state politician who had joined the crowd and other jeers when she talked on her cell phone while a constituent posed a question to her.

“In Congress, we have to multi-task,” she explained.

Some constituents also complained that Jackson Lee did her best to dodge hard questions:

“Several of Jackson Lee’s constituents opposed to the health care plan complained the meetings were never posted on the congresswoman’s Web site. They also said they had called her office repeatedly but were only informed about the meetings when they called the day before it happened.

***
Jackson Lee is known for aggressively promoting her events by e-mailing and calling local news media. But the Houston Chronicle didn’t receive any notifications from her office about the Tuesday forum.”

I hope someone got a video of Jackson-Lee’s multi-tasking comment.

Obamacare Meltdown (HumanEvents)

The revelation last week that a majority of Americans may actually disagree with the President was something for which his team was clearly not prepared.

Their attempt to marginalize citizens across the country who dared to speak out against a government-takeover of health care is shameful, arrogant, and desperately sad.

With the American people growing increasingly unhappy with the President’s health care plan, Democrats in Congress are working feverishly to cast those who are concerned as radical props to the special interests. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in a sign of bold leadership, last week told reporters that protests of government-run health care were “phony” and “staged.”

He stepped up to a microphone holding a piece of artificial sod and declared that the nationwide dissent was but a marketing ploy, just “Astroturf.”

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called the movement “manufactured.”

Nope, Dear Leader didn’t “imply” it. He flat out said it.


============

He not only flat out said it. He said it for several days in a row at different events but it doesn't really matter because AARP is on board with his plan, they just don't want it to be known now that people are shredding their club cards.

Remember Terri Schivo? The only ones wishing for her death were leftists, the dems, snake lawyers, and Larry King.

The left WANTS the elderly to die. They are so compassionate: “just give them a pain pill”

The left believes in nothing. For them, death is something nice.

MSNBC and NBC are nothing more than Obama's propaganda arm. They have zero credibility - like McClatchy.




MSLSD and NBC have an excuse. They're owned by Obama. McClatchy on the other hand only wishes it was owned by Obama.

My very healthy grandmother not only clipped her AARP card, she called them to take her name off their list of members. She said they tried to bamboozle her, but she had none of their sauce. What a wonderful grandmother she has always been to me. I will fight for her. I am fired up and ready to go. I hear you can’t even get through to AARP now. I wonder if their website has crashed as well? Were they lying then, or are they lying now? Money still talks, and their insurance company was always their reason to be, not the well being of seniors. I hope they fail!

I didn’t quite believe the ‘Condoskeeza slur’ comment yesterday, but it is true. If Obama wasn’t there, he certainly heard about it. What a sleaze the Debt President is.

“According to ABC News, Rev. Wright has referred to U.S. Secretary of State Rice as "Condoskeeza Rice." "Skeeza" is an idiom known in the [black] community as meaning "whore" or "slut."
===
A black man calling the Secretary of State a whore or slut, and she is a black woman as well! Obama and his young daughters could have been sitting right there listening to this [Hate Preach] by Rev. Wright. He became known as the ‘Hate Preacher’ in Chicago. Even a cub reporter could have found that out in a few minutes. Anyone ask Oprah why she exited his church? No questions by the MSM per usual. There is no explaining Wright’s bigotry away, and the lying media condoned his actions by ignoring his serious bigotry against Whitey and Jews, while accusing others of bigotry against a white/black man.

AARP is in panic mode. The truth about their agenda was to remain hidden from their members. The board there must be old duffers like the BOD of McClatchy. Didn’t they know about the internet?

The problem for AARP is that when you lie down with pigs, you get up with hoof in mouth disease. Maybe that isn’t quite the saying? I said pigs, because you know B Hussein O hates pigs.

AARP just hired a black CEO who has a history of activism. Big mistake. AARP is Obama's toy and the membership is catching on. Membership is going to take a big dive.

When the Un-Rev. Wright slurred “Whitey”, he slurred the evil ‘Whitey’ Obama and his ‘Whitey’ daughters, and Obama just sat there. Has the man no shame? No wonder Ms. Frump thinks the USA is a mean place, Rev. Bigot said so every Sunday. I think it was abusive for her to let her daughters hear hate speech, the real thing, and against them, not her! A good mother? I don’t think so. If my minister said the ‘N’ word I would have walked out immediately. Obama stayed 20 years, and that was twenty years folks.

Obama as gone off the deep end into the brink, and he has a tight grasp on his brain aka TOTUS. TOTUS is getting pissed off. He says, If the Bam tries to pull a Ted Kennedy on me, I’ll grab his lying ass, and we’ll see who walks on water. The Carter clone’s hot air will save us both. Heh, heh, heh.

Fox News is running a bottom news line that says AARP will not support any health care bill that harms seniors.

Bwhahahahaha

Why The AP plans to hold some web content off the wire (Nieman Journalism Lab)

Series: AP's online strategy

In a break with tradition, The Associated Press plans to prevent members and customers from publishing some AP content on their websites. Instead, those news organizations would link to the content on a central AP website — a move that could upend the consortium’s traditional notions of syndication.

That’s one revelation from a document we obtained (labeled “AP CONFIDENTIAL — NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION”) that offers new insight into how the AP is planning to reinvent itself on the Internet.

The seven-page briefing, entitled “Protect, Point, Pay — An Associated Press Plan for Reclaiming News Content Online,” was distributed to AP members late last month. It provides greater detail about the tracking device that will be attached to AP content and describes their plans to create topic pages around news stories to rival Wikipedia and major aggregation sites. And in an hour-long interview last night, the AP’s general counsel, Srinandan Kasi, also shed light on how the consortium views reuse of its material across the Internet.

I’ll be wading through the document and what we’ve found in a series of posts beginning today. (You can subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter if you don’t want to miss anything.) We’ll eventually post the full document, too. And as we go, feel free to comment and ask questions so we can flesh this out. I think you’ll find this stuff applies to all news organizations, not just the 1,500 newspapers that own the AP.

AP is asking newspaper websites to become satellites to their website - apparently so that AP can sell advertising on their site.

This means AP will be competing with newspapers because advertising is/was the lifeblood of newspapers. I’m guessing most newspapers are not going to be too happy about that.

Heard on talk radio- “The unions’ supporting Deathcare are thug liberals talking through false teeth.”
Good one!

Liberals should be made to watch the video of Terri Schiavo with her loving parents. The media allowed her adulterous husband who lived with a common law wife and two children to starve Terri to death. He would not even allow an ice chip when she cried out for help. When did we become such a country of ghouls? I am ashamed of my country when it comes to prescribing death to my fellow Americans, and I include seniors and unborn babies. We are all valuable citizens, to kill off some of us, to make room for illegal aliens is just plain insanity. Who are these ghouls that try to kill off our people that are the least able to defend themselves?

Editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution ( A cox Property)is telling the staff they may move out of downtown.
“The cost of operating the downtown building is very high. Since moving production out to Gwinnett, we occupy less than 30 percent of the facility. As a result, the expense to operate the building is exorbitant. No decision has been made at this time, but we are looking at options including maintaining our current downtown location or relocating to a new, smaller site in the greater Atlanta area. I will keep you informed and share any updates on this issue.”
