Caligula? This one is a better fit to ‘His Lordship’ Obama. http://www.roman-emperors.org/commod.htm

The secreat handshake in Chicago is the outstretched hand, palm up, as in “what’s in it for me?”. Barry was trained well, and surrounds himself with similar public service crooks like Johnson and Raines. People like Gorelick, Johnson, Ayers and other profiteer bureaucrats take care of legislators like Barry, Hillary, and Dodd, and the money flows like water from our pockets to theirs.

Here is Newsbusters.org lineup of “moderators” for the presidential debates:

Voters See Media’s Prez Debate Moderators as Biased for Barack
By Warner Todd Huston (Bio | Archive)
September 24, 2008 - 03:27 ET

Once again Rasmussen Reports presents evidence that more and more Americans are coming to the realization that the media is biased to the left. This time Rasmussen’s polling results shows that more Americans than ever think the folks chosen from amongst the Old Media to moderate the upcoming presidential debates are biased in favor of Barack Obama.

Earlier in the month, Rasmussen found that 50% of their respondents feel that the media is trying to help Obama get elected while only 11% felt the media was trying to help McCain win. This time Rasmussen finds that 56% feel that the debate moderators are biased in their questioning, though veteran TV newsman Jim Lehrer (PBS) gets better personal numbers with 43% saying he’ll be neutral as a moderator.

The bias question continues to look dismal for any trust in the media:

Men are far more suspicious of bias by debate moderators than women. Male voters by a 65% to 22% margin say the moderators are biased. Women agree on the bias but by just 48% to 25%.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans and 57% of unaffiliated voters think the moderators are biased. But even 41% of Democrats agree, compared to 31% who say they are generally unbiased.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of GOP voters, 17% of unaffiliateds and 12% of Democrats think Lehrer will try to help Obama. But 31% of Republicans, over half of unaffiliated voters (51%) and nearly as many Democrats (48%) believe Lehrer will be neutral.

From what we uncover here everyday, there is no doubt that the media has tipped its hand far to the left. Rasmussen’s numbers continue to show that it isn’t escaping the notice of the electorate.

Ooops - my earlier post didn’t mention names...

Here is the lineup:
There was some consternation when the moderators for the presidential debates were announced and we learned that Jim Lehrer, Tom Brokaw and Bob Schieffer would referee. For Lehrer — who will host the first debate Friday, if it goes forward — this will be his 11th appearance. Brokaw has covered presidential elections since 1976, and Schieffer has been reporting in Washington since 1970.

As I mentioned before Gwen Ifill will do the VP.

He’s already screwed up twice in his address to the nation right now. He can’t put a sentence together without a teleprompter.

He’s on fox right now and his teleprompter is malfunctioning. 2 stops already and he just stares out with a blank look on his face.

I think that it is an “applause pause”. We just cannot hear the audience audio. They did that to President Bush during the convention.

Speaking of teleprompters, Obie One Obambi's speech (right now) is having MAJOR problems reading his!

What a nimrod! He's had to stop mid sentence at least five times thus far!!!

You’re probably right. Still, it looks lame when anyone does this.
