Those prison guards would have to be at least 6’10 to tower over Michelle that way . . .

She's a pretty nasty one, you wouldn't want anyone to get hurt...

(Pssstt... that's not really Michelle...)

That inflated piece of ego has had more face time on TV since the election than Bush has had in 8 years.

Congratulations!

I was just telling a friend the other day that it doesn't matter what the thread is about, whether it's about the extinction of the dinosaurs or the price of gasoline, someone ALWAYS manages to post about the pro-life/anti-abortion topic... it's just a question of how far into the thread it happens.

So congratulations - post #291 made it!

I think the msm is enjoying this. They can protect the messiah all the while selling newspapers.

Obama was on the side of stealing foundation money meant to educate poor black children.

He was on the side of his wife getting a high paying job as a result of his election to the senate.

We know all about Obama and his ugly hate filled wife.

“(Pssstt... that’s not really Michelle...) “


You don’t say?

(My point is that one needs to find a picture of a muscular 5’11” female prisoner in order to effectively photoshop Michelle in prison garb.)

I remember reading a Bill Sammon book a couple of years ago and he gave credit to Free Republic for bringing down Dan Rather.

Everyone, must read this article at WSJ.com (linked below). It appears that the Obama team knew by Monday Nov. 10 that Blago was trying to auction off the US Senate seat, and on that same day they let it be known that Valerie Jarrett had withdrawn from consideration and was going to be a senior advisor on the WH staff. I think they could tell where this was going b/c Blago was so reckless in openly talking about it — whether or not it was an Obamanator who dropped the dime on Blago, the Obama team knew by Nov. 10 at the latest that Blago was running an auction for the Senate seat:


Blagojevich’s Big Conference Call and Valerie Jarrett’s Clean Break

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/12/10/blagojevichs-big-conference-call-and-valerie-jarretts-clean-break/?mod=blog

Cam Simpson reports on Rod Blagojevich.

Among the hundreds of hours of conversations involving Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich secretly recorded by the FBI since Oct. 22, one phone call is drawing particular scrutiny among politicos, journalists and others in Washington. It was a marathon conference call on Monday, Nov. 10.

The call lasted about two hours. On the phone were Mr. Blagojevich, his wife, his general counsel, an unnamed adviser, and John Harris, the governor’s chief of staff and his co-defendant in this week’s case.

But what’s drawing the most interest is who was on the line from Washington, and the sequence of political events that followed that same night and in the ensuing days regarding Barack Obama’s close friend and adviser, Valerie Jarrett.....


.......At a bare minimum, the timing of Team Obama’s decision to remove Ms. Jarrett’s name from contention, or at least to remove her name from the public speculation about the post, seems extraordinarily lucky. It came on the very same day the FBI secretly recorded Mr. Blagojevich telling a huge conference call loaded with politicos, in Illinois and Washington, that he wasn’t about to give the Senate spot away for nothing.

It’s also the same recorded conversation in which Mr. Blagojevich uses an obscenity to refer to Mr. Obama, before the governor makes clear he won’t give the president-elect the seat for free. “F— him. For nothing? F— him.”

Look for everyone to continue focusing on this call, and who from Washington was on the line.

I never hear people say how “articulate” people are in court. Obama has been praised on the basis of transcripts and 2 books that may have been ghost written seing as how they sound nothing like anything he ever says when speaking to the public. Does he dumb it down? Or has the public been sold a false bill of goods?

I dont find him to be articuate at all when he isnt reading a prepared speech, nor am i convinced of his “above-average intelligence”.

i know some very average people who graduated from law school.

I have deduced that his phantom-like Columbia education, entrance into Harvard (paid for with Arab money), placement on law review and graduation in the upper percentile was all pre-arranged for him.

As with michellemabelle’s Princeton admission, it was not based on merit.

Demanding kickbacks for state aid is a crime.

Blago is already on record saying he spoke with Obama.

"We have had some discussions about a process which we'll share . . . if all goes well."

From Liveleak:

“Ace of Spades and No Quarter report that it is very likely that Michelle Obama is the “Specifically Named Individual” on page 64 of the Criminal Complaint against Governor Rod Blagojevich.’”

I can’t find any reference to this on either site. help?

I am a maintainer of several Wiki’s. If you wanted to change my resourced page, you’d have to challenge my resource and prove it’s incorrect before you are allowed to edit.

In addition, I get an auto email when anyone attempts to edit a wiki of mine.

I absolutely encourage everyone to create and edit incorrect wiki’s, always, without fail, never let one BS item go without an edit or a challenge. Ever.

Truth! Justice! America! LOL

Question - Has there ever been a “president-elect” that has held as many pressers as this one?
