Fact Checking Obama's Infomercial

Posted on 10/30/2008 4:06:51 PM PDT by altsehastiin

Are people going over the stories about the people in Obama's infomercial ala the way the media did to Joe the Plumber?

For example, Obama's first story was about "Larry and Juanita Stewart" of Sardinia, Ohio. Supposedly, they needed to mortgage their home of 10 years to pay for medical bills.

Sardinia's in Brown County, Ohio. A check of their property tax records show no Larry and Juanita Stewart owning property in Sardinia. http://brownauditor.ddti.net/

And a check of the Brown County recorder's website doesn't show a Larry Stewart involved in a transaction, either a purchase or a lien, for property in Sardinia. http://www.landaccess.com/sites/oh/brown/shared/tract/tract_name_results.php

I also can't find recrods for Larry (or Lawrence) or Juanita Stewart in neighboring county websites.

Amazing, isn’t it?

In 12 hours, we knew more about “JtP” then Obama, yet the MSM hasn’t investigated any of the claims in the Obama infomercial.

They haven’t asked Bill Ayers a single question.

Toni Rezko? Raila Odinga?

Ask the average voter and they won’t know who those people are.

But ask them if they know that JtP owes a few bucks back taxes, or if Sarah Palin fired someone illegally and they’ll say yes.

Intellectually lazy people might elect an equally intellectual idiot and put him in the WH

No wonder the DJIA dropped when his numbers rose.

Look at your http://brownauditor.ddti.net/ link under “Stuart” and you’ll find “STUART LAWRENCE C” and “STUART LAWRENCE C & JUANITA” entries.

There were a lot of statements in the depressing infomercial that contradict Obama’s words elsewhere in the campaign. It was filled with complete lies.

The lie about rebuilding the military was particually outrageous given other statements he has made which are exactly the opposite.

Isn’t this pretty common with Democratic politicians? The little moral tales spun by Dick Gephart, Tom Daschle, Harry Reid, et. al. often don’t bear scrutiny. But nothing is ever made about it [unlike Joe the Plumber] ‘cause it’s understood that the message is the important issue.

Do you have the names and city/state for each of the featured families? Please post - I’d like to dig as well.

What a great story if these people are actors.

By law, I believe you can ask Ford in Louisville to confirm dates of employment for the couple.

Their property is worth a decent amount, particularly for Brown Co

The median income for a household in the county was $38,303, and the median income for a family was $43,040.

Still, they probably aren’t rolling in it. If she is very ill, then they very well may have to find a way to get more cash to pay for it (particularly if they didn’t purchase good insurance or get it from the Rail road)

Sorry, I was going by a transcript that showed their name as “stewart”.

Next task - find Rebecca and Brian Johnston of North Kansas City, Missouri:

Are they within the gated community Lake Waynoka?

Or is the gated community ONLY on the south side of the Lake?

I think their home is in the gate community. Quite a few amenities there.

Campgrounds, beach, recreation center, restaurant, lounge, marina

Looking up the Lake Waynoka community it says that L.W. has 2,400 acres, more than 4,000 lots, 45 miles of paved roads and over 600 homes, Lake Waynoka is a perfect place to build a full time residence, the relaxing summer retreat or your gateway into healthy and soothing activities.

So, my guess is they live within the gated community. Looks like a nice place to live.

One thing I do know is there were casting calls during the primaries for Obama commercials. Does it surprise anyone if these people are the same kind of thing?

What gets me about Brian and Rebecca Johnston is that they decided to live outside the city so their kids could go to good schools. Obama’s policies are more in line with the city location.

Plus, why should those who can’t afford children be forced to pay for those who were popping them out without any concern for economics?

I want to know....

The size and age of their TV’s
How many cell phones they own
How many IPODS they own
What their Cable bill is monthly
How many times a week they eat out, and where
The age/make of every car they own (how many)

that would be a start...

It looks like the Stuarts live in the gated community, Lake Waynoka.

Docks and picnic areas

Recreation center and pools

Campgrounds

I might be wrong about their being members. I did not see the program, so I don't know anything about the Stuarts.

They have a pretty large house.

1 BFM 2904 SQ Ft
1 FG 528 SQ Ft
1 OFP P 238 SQ ft
1 WDDK 576 SQ Ft

So, it sounds like 1 2900 sq foot house with a 528 sq ft garage, 238 sq ft front porch and a 576 sw ft deck. Nice digs.

A caller on Rush today noticed the woman had acrylic nails- and asked his wife and other women how much they cost - they have to be maintained and the cheapest place in my little town is 25 bucks for a “fill” and this is every other week- 45-50 for new set. I guess nails are more important than snacks!! What a lame game he has. I was so lame myself I didn't know it was on until it was long over. Guess I didn't miss anything.

The real story with the retired couple is how the run up in property taxes has likely added 200-300 or more in monthly costs to their fixed budgets. Spending and taxation gone out of control - it’s a universal side effect of the “real estate boom.”

One more thing...
Here is an example of one of the houses in the neighborhood.

Pretty typical of newer houses in SW Ohio, but again a little pricier for Brown County which isn’t a wealthy county. People tend to live there and work in Cincy.

Their house for $240,000 probably runs upwards of 3,000 square feet based on some of the other properties listed in the area. I bet they’ll be mad when Obama takes away the tax credit on the mortgage for their “mansion”. (Hey - who needs more than 2,000 sf anyway- right?)

I didn’t see the infomercial, but it sounds like they are having health problems. Whatever $ they might have tied up in their house or neighboring property is not worth much when it comes to paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills if they had crummy health insurance.

I agree. I don’t begrudge retirees for living in a nice place and know that medical bills can be awful. He worked for the Railroad according to something I read, so who knows what kind of insurance they had.
