"Somebody here renamed him “Uhbama.” He attended the Hillary Clinton School of Oratory and graduated summa cum laude. His valedictorian speech was 20 minutes of nothing but the words “you know”, “uh” and “um.”

Ha...Hillary bobs her head up and down.....

0bambi goes from side to side (seeking the teleprompter)..

To me he speaks like a man who says one thing in private and another in public, and he is trying like crazy to avoid mixing the two versions up in his responses. When a man has integrity, he doesn’t have to stall for time to think of the proper words to say about important issues that concern the job for which he is applying because he has been thinking and talking the same way for ages. Obama is seriously trying to avoid tripping himself up in his message and at the same time avoiding alienating his supporters and bundlers. The fact that McCain is rushing out ads immediately probably makes him even more flustered and nervous. Oh what a tangled web we weave . . .

Oh, he took them.

If he was in the league he should be to get into Harvard, ~1400 or greater, it’d be all over the place.

I suspect he’s in the neighborhood of 1000 or 1100.

zerO looked haggard today. He was ashen. There was none of the usual sparkle. Imagine him in a crisis as POTUS. Like JFK, he would take to his bed for three weeks after blowing negotiations with an enemy.

Obama Chicago pool report #2. Inside the funder. Michelle Obama on “don’t be fooled by people who say it is not his time.”

Snips:

Pooler was not allowed in the ballroom to observe remarks by
Michelle Obama and Penny Pritzker, who spoke before Obama’s
remarks. But your pooler, staffed by Burton, was allowed to take
notes and tape the amplified sound she could hear clearly
through a wall.

S:

Once Obama started speaking, pooler was allowed in the
room. (see description of set-up in first pool report) He
thanked Pritzker for serving as national finance chair. “I can’t
think of a better selection.” He thanked his fundraising staff.

Not Quite Ready for Subprime Time

by Baron Bodissey

As most of you know by now, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has been invited to speak at the UN in New York City later this month. Maybe we’ll get to see the famous halo this time! Keep your eye on the C-SPAN coverage during his oratory and see if you can make it out.

A certain select group of well-meaning progressives decided to take the opportunity of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s visit to host a gala event for him at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in NYC. The invitation list was supposed to be confidential and kept tightly-guarded, but word leaked out, alas, and copies of the invite have spread across the internet:

Obama’s best fundraisers were given priority to go to Oprah Winfrey’s home

Source The Chicago Sun Times March 24 2008 by Lynn Sweet

Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate finance committee contains the names of a number of Chicago based Democrats who have been long-time major donors and fund-raisers —and Tony Rezko and his wife, Rita. Rezko, on trial in a Chicago courtroom on corruption charges. On March 14, Obama said Rezko had raised about $250,000 for Obama—for his state senate, House and U.S. Senate runs.

For his 2008 presidential run, Obama does release the names of his best “bundlers” –those who raise between $50,000 and at least $200,000. Bundlers are people who tap into their own extensive personal networks to raise money for a candidate and in return are supposed to get recognition for their efforts from the campaigns.

But the Obama campaign has carved from these ranks of elite fund-raisers a National Finance Committee, who are deemed to have potential to raise money for Obama over the long haul.

Members of Obama’s NFC have been invited to special briefings with Obama and his advisors, were given priority in getting into Oprah Winfrey’s fund-raiser at her home near Santa Barbara, Calif. and have been encouraged to travel to primary and caucus states to volunteer knocking on doors and at phonebanks.

Acorn, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Barack Obama’s Finance Chair-Penny Pritzker, All Tied To The Sub-Prime Meltdown

On the Outside Now, Watching Fannie Falter
Washington Post, The (DC) - July 16, 2008
Author: Anita Huslin, Washington Post Staff Writer
In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae’s chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case’s D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama ‘s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.

Acorn, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Barack Obama’s Finance Chair-Penny Pritzker, All Tied To The Sub-Prime Meltdown

OT Reminder (and keep in mind who fights for housing, ACORN)

Comment: or more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago’s South Side.

It was just four years after the landlords — Antoin “Tony’’ Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru — had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers.

Rezko and Mahru couldn’t find money to get the heat back on.

But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building.

Obama has been friends with Rezko for 17 years. Rezko has been a political patron to Obama and many others, helping to raise millions of dollars for them through his own contributions and by hosting fund-raisers in his home.

Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko’s low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.

“Their buildings were falling apart,’’ said a former city official. “They just didn’t pay attention to the condition of these buildings.’’

Eleven of Rezko’s buildings were in Obama’s state Senate district.
