The bastard already has the bully pulpit. There is ZERO excuse for him to leave the Whitehouse to campaign.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Well, IMNSHO, this clown has been on the campaign trail since 21JAN09 and they are not bringing in the extra ‘air staff’ till Apr.
How can he possibly be in more cities etc than he has already been in? Hmm, maybe they are taking 3rd World tactics and using doubles??? <: <:

The worst thing with this campaign spending, when they get to where they are giving their collective BS Session, they only talk to friendlys.

Isn’t the true meaning of campaigning to expose yourself to those that would normally be inclined to NOT vote for you?

So, in essence, when they take OUR money to campaign with it is basically going to ‘preaching to the choir’.

And that is not only pertaining to BO, I realize when they screen at an event to keep the harassers out it is for expediency but aren’t the dissidents the ones you are trying to win over?

So, bottom line, it is basically a waste of time and MONEY.

Take away the matching funds and make them campaign on what they get from people with a like mind = that they are trying to represent.

There is no reason in the (logical) world that people in California should be ‘donating’ to elect someone to Congress from NY.

In some respects, it is like us picking a country out of the book and donating to one of the candidates for local office.

Why??

Mostly true. All of the vehicles with Zerobama stickers being driven on the military bases I’ve been on lately have had black drivers.

Out of curiosity, how many squadrons were created to service the G W Bush reelection campaign?

America is becoming more and more like the old Soviet Union every day

Actually it's more like a South American Banana Republic (Haiti, for example, and Michelle Obama does a really credible imitation of Mrs. Baby Doc) or an African tribal dictatorship.

That's all the Kenyan is. Just another tribal Beeg Man, mau-mauing the fools who think he cares about laws.

If he’s so worried he needs to stay out of the race.

Here’s an interesting take on the MSM and Obama from an unusual source.

Seems the Russians know something about Obama/ MSM we don’t... Well worth the time it takes to read:

The sound the GOP made sounds like crickets. Or maybe the sound of sheep.

In the future,a child will ask his dad: “What did you do durning the war against Terrorists”?
His dad will say “I was part of getting one relected”.

Ten points to the first candidate who points out this disgusting misuse of taxpayer equipment and declares, “Elect me and when I campaign for my second term I promise to leave the military home”

Until December 2011 Air Expeditionary Wings/Squadrons were ONLY used to support “Overseas Contingency Operations - aka the War on terror.”, This administrative procedure ensured correct accounting of flying hours, manhours and other levels of support and provided a clear line of command and control.

Prior to December 2011 airlift support for Presidential campaigns was taken out of local training accounts.

IMHO, the two newly formed squadrons, while officially under the 89th Wing (VIP support), will report to and be controlled by the Presidential Reelection Committee.

But maybe, in his function as Commander-in-Chief, Obama will directly command all of the missions. Thus adding to his impressive military resume.

And don't forget, Obama will take credit for getting Bin Laden, fixing Israel, Iraq, the economy, etc.

Never assume that against this radical incumbent, that this election is a guaranteed win for our side. In fact the opposite is actually true.

Maybe they'll give him a little pair of plastic wings. He can "not" wear those right beside the (American) flag pin he doesn't wear!

Here is another link about the Sheriff's findings. This is to a video made of the news broadcast summing up the investigation by Sheriff Arpaio of Arizona into the legitimacy of the various documents associated with Obama. It’s long (over an hour) but fascinating. He’s a fake and a phony.
