OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA -

Hail to the crook!

- THE BLACK NINJA

Open letter to Obama

What right do you have to screw and fuck the poor over.  You have mind fucked the whole nation.  Are you too fundy for your own good?  Well, do some good and quit sitting there like some king.  I only get $35.00 in food stamps and Social Security ripped off money that they owe me.  You sure talk a good game, your magesty, Obama <sarcasticly>

Obama Lashes out at Americans

Barack lashes out at Americans

Barack lashes out at Americans

'Let me just say this,' he said, addressing the audience . 'You've been appearing at every rally we've been doing.I should have you all thrown in jail for interrupting me!

'So I don't know why you think this is a useful strategy to take,' he finished, jabbing his finger angrily in the direction of the audience.


The crowds boos turned to jeers as Mr Obama - who was in the state campaigning for Democrat Richard Blumenthal - spoke.

'I don't know why you think this is a useful strategy to take... Hey! Listen up everybody!'

'So, what we would suggest,' he added, 'I think it would make a lot more sense for you guys to go to the folks who aren't interested in funding global Aids and shout at that rally. Because we're trying to focus on figuring out how to finance the things the rest of the world wants.'

Then he turned to another group of hecklers on his other side, adding: 'You guys same thing.'

As more chants filled the rally, he said: 'Alright, you guys have made your point, now let's go.'

Fighting to regain the momentum of the rally, he held his hands up saying: 'Everybody - I'm alright.

'Come on guys,' he said.

He then fell silent again, watching with pursed lips as the crowd booed the hecklers once more.

The President waited nearly 20 seconds for the noise to stop, then attempted again to continue with his speech.


But he was forced to wait in silence for another 20 seconds before finally saying: 'Hey! Listen up everybody!'

The same group has popped up at other Obama campaign events this election, including a rally in Boston two weeks ago.

Mr Obama finally regained control of the rally and continued with his speech.

But the unexpected loss of control was in stark contrast to the power he held over similar audiences during his 2008 presidential campaign.

With the November 2 mid-term elections just days away, Mr Obama's Democratic party is facing heavy losses.

The President himself is dealing with a devastating loss in popularity.


Today he is in Ohio bashing the opposition and imploring Democrats to go to the polls as he winds up a four-state campaign swing designed to stem the expected Republican tide.


Democratic voters are closely divided over whether he should be challenged within the party for a second term in 2012, an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks Poll finds.

That glum assessment carries over into the nation at large, which is similarly divided over whether Mr Obama should be a one-term president.

A real Democratic challenge to Mr Obama seems unlikely at this stage and his re-election bid is a long way off. But the findings underscore how disenchanted his party has grown heading into the congressional elections Tuesday.

The AP-KN poll has tracked a group of people and their views since the beginning of the 2008 presidential campaign.


Among all 2008 voters, 51 per cent say he deserves to be defeated in November 2012 while 47 per cent support his re-election - essentially a tie.

Among Democrats, 47 per cent say Obama should be challenged for the 2012 nomination and 51 per cent say he should not be opposed.


Those favouring a contest include most who backed Hillary Rodham Clinton's unsuccessful faceoff against Mr Obama for the 2008 nomination. The poll did not ask if Democrats would support particular challengers.

Political operatives and polling experts caution that Mr Obama's poll standings say more about people's frustrations today with the economy and other conditions than they do about his re-election prospects.


With the next presidential election two years away - an eon in politics - the public's view of Mr Obama could easily improve if the economy revives or if he outmaneuvers Republicans in Congress or in the presidential campaign.

'Democrats currently disappointed with Obama will likely be less disappointed if he spends the next two years fighting a GOP Congress' should Republicans do well on Election Day, said Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin political science professor and polling analyst.

'NOBODY WANTS TO WORK WITH THIS GUY': WHAT THE POLL NUMBERS SHOW

The 2,554 randomly chosen people in the survey are from a group that was polled 11 times during the 2008 campaign by AP, Knowledge Networks and Yahoo News.



The poll finds that over that period, Obama has retained most supporters while seeing some erosion:

Nearly 8 in 10, or 80 per cent, of Democrats who said during the spring of 2008 that they were backing Mr Obama for the Democratic nomination now say they want him to be challenged in 2012. Seven in 10 want him impeached.
Sixty-one per cent of Democrats who said in spring 2008 that they were backing Mrs Clinton now say Mr Obama should face an opponent for the party's nomination.
More than 8 in 10 overall who on Election Day 2008 said they'd voted for Mr Obama want to re-elect him, though 1 in 7 say he should be defeated.
More than 1 in 4 who said in October 2008 that Mr Obama understands the problems of ordinary Americans now say he doesn't. The same is true for those who said he is innovative, cares about people like them and shares their values.
Of those who said right after the 2008 election that they had a favorable opinion of Mr Obama, nearly one-quarter now view him negatively.
Even so, the poll - and today's heckling - illustrates how Mr Obama's reputation has frayed since 2008.


It suggests lingering bad feelings from Democrats' bitter primary fight, when he and Mrs Clinton - now his Secretary of State - roughly split the popular vote.


Political professionals of both parties said the findings are a warning for the president, whose formal re-election effort is expected to begin stirring next year.

'It's an indicator of things he needs to address between now and then,' said Kiki McLean, a Democratic strategist who worked in Mrs Clinton's 2008 campaign.

The White House declined comment on the results.

'Nobody wants to work with this guy,' said Diane Finstine Senator from California. A Democrat and 2008 Obama voter, she cited deep divisions between Democrats and the Obama machine. 'We're never going to get anything done.'

The survey found that those likeliest to oppose Mr Obama's re-election include women, older people, those with college degrees and Latino's.


Those groups mostly supported his 2008 Republican opponent, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Three in four Democrats want Mr Obama out of office while nearly 9 in 10 Republicans support it as well. Independents lean slightly against Obama, 46 per cent to 36 per cent.

Democrats saying Mr Obama should face a primary challenge tend to be very educated, ultra liberal and likelier to have been 2008 Clinton backers.

Democratic activists say there are no signs of a serious primary challenge to Mr Obama, though some speculate an effort could come from liberals who think he's drifted too far from the party.

Recent history shows presidents' early polling numbers mean little about their re-election prospects.

'Presidents Mondale, Dole and McCain all speak to the very substantial limits of off-year polling results,' said Bill McInturff, McCain's 2008 pollster, as he named three politicians who fell short of the White House.


Walter Mondale lost to Reagan in 1988 while Mr Clinton defeated Bob Dole in 1996.

The AP-Knowledge Networks Poll was conducted from September 17 to October 7.


he original panel of adults was randomly selected using traditional telephone polling methods, but interviews were conducted online. People without computers or Internet access were given that technology for free.

The margin of sampling error for all 1,254 adults is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. It is plus or minus 6.5 points for the 571 Democrats, and 5.3 points for the 852 people who said on Election Day 2008 that they had voted.

In many races, vast numbers of the electorate had already made their choices.


In Ohio, where Democrats could lose as many as six House seats, more than 721,000 votes had been cast. California officials already had in hand almost 2.5 million ballots, and Florida officials had almost 1.7 million.

Both parties worked vigorously to bank supporters' votes early. In all, more than 13.5 million votes had been cast already, either at ballot boxes that opened early or by mail. Four years ago, during the last non-presidential election, some 19 million voters cast ballots before Election Day.

Candidates were everywhere on Saturday, making last-weekend pitches for support.

Party stars were out in force, too.

Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, campaigned for Republican Senate candidate John Raese at a big rally in Charleston, West Virginia. Palin said the state's Democratic governor, Joe Manchin, is a good fit in that job - so voters should keep him there rather than elect him senator over Raese.

Former President Bill Clinton, campaigning in Ohio for Gov. Ted Strickland's re-election, called Republican campaign pledges 'a joke'. He said, 'Their deal sounds good but it doesn't work. ... Our interns put out more than theirs.'

Later in Canton, Ohio, as Clinton was speaking at a rally, Ohio Rep. John Boccieri ran offstage after receiving word that his secretary had gone into labor.

'The baby is now being born!' Clinton announced as the crowd erupted with cheers. 'We got another Democrat.'

Kudos to President Obama

for standing up for religious freedom.  He was referring to the Islamic community center near Ground Zero in Manhattan.

Last week, President Obama took a brave stand in support of a core American principle: freedom of religion.

Slant on Obama

A New Slant on Obama

A New Slant on Obama

I say that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! I will give you an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and I thank God for the President. Keep reading for my additional comments and an explanation. When discussing Obama, I point to: 1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do. 2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. 3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the Senate - back to the Republicans. 4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow and spend. Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America . Liberals want to take over the economy. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone. Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life. 5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America ! 6. Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore. 7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong. 8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans! Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!! Amy L. Dalton  http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/150215/index.php

Why Obama Sold Out

Not Rocket Science

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker points out that the Pentagon generals openly call Obama, "...the scared little black boy." Hersh points out that it likely the war economy interests and their generals have made Obama an offer he can't refuse. The offer extends to his family too. Would you do any differently? Curious too that on aniversary of Congressman Wellstone freedom of information documents show that Wellstone had a death threat the day before his plain "mysteriously" crashed.

photos Obama Protest

Photos of Obama protest on 10-20

author: joyofresistance

Photos of the hardy 50+ who bravely stood their ground against over 100 right-wing Tea Party or re-packaged Americans For Prosperity protestors and over 5,000 Obama supporters. Also photos of the right wingers to show how utterly confused and misled they are, in spite of their real anger/grievances. Sometimes, you don't know whether to laugh or weep! What will it take for ordinary Americans to wake up and stop being conned/manipulated by the elites and their pundits.

Well, there were over 5,000 Obama supporters, 100 right wing Tea Party/Americans for Prosperity, and 50 of us at the protest two days ago when Obama came to town to stump for Kitzhaber. But the progressive activists from Veterans for Peace, PCASC, SUPER, ISO, immigrant rights groups and others bravely stood their ground in spite of their small numbers, and did their best to get their message out. No more wars and occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Pakistan, no more corporate giveaways and bailouts, Money for jobs and education, and no more voting for the two-party con men, Democrats and Republicans, soaking in corporate money and corruption. If we want real change, we've got to do it ourselves, not depend on politicians, leaders and cheerleaders. Look at what the French students and workers are doing right now to fight back against the cutbacks and attacks on them by the ruling elites. Strike, Blockade, Sabotage! Enough said!

OBAMA in PDX!

author: Martha Perez

Obama rises to the occasion of a 5K+ strong audience, and encourages Oregonians to get involved in the latest electoral process. A strong showing of supporters (and Tea Party folks) are in attendance.

This is Martha Perez, reporting to you live from the Oregon Convention Center, where tonight thousands of guests are treated to a stunning who's who of political luminaries, including President-elect Barack Obama. The list of dignitaries include: Earl Blumenauer, David Wu, Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, Bill Bradbury, Lew Frederick, etc, along with a number of retired politicos, as well as a number of county, city, & state legislators, council members and candidates (Bob Stacey, Loretta Smith, etc). There is also a huge pro-union presence, with dozens of members from the various organizations (SEIU, AFL-CIO, Teamsters, Electricians, ICLU, etc) and affiliates. Prior to the event, a sizable protest put on by Americans For Prosperity and/both Tea Party organizers were visible along NE MLK Blvd, marching northward on MLK, across the street from the Convention Center. There was also a respectable showing of Progressives & their supporters. There was something for everyone, irregardless of party affiliation. Vendors were hawking Obama merchandise, such as posters, t-shirts, buttons, stickers, and Obama Teddy Bears. Various organizations were also handing out flyers & leaflets in support of various ballot issues now coming to a vote (medical marijuana, voter owned elections, etc). At one point, a participant fainted and had to be carried away from the proceedings, which temporarily disrupted the event. A protestor shouted loudly inside the premises and was escorted away by security. There was an entire section of audience devoted to John Kitzhaber (who also showed up). There was a strong security perimeter surrounding the event area (both inside & outside). Reporting to you live from NE Portland, I'm Martha Perez, General Political Activist.

thanks for the report - but I wonder about solidarity with the peace activists?

I went to the event and 'proud' to report back, I didn't "buy in" to go in.

I can not believe how many people continue to support this Imperialist Leadership of the hope n change *mirage!

Yeah I listen to the speech on the radio when I was going home from the protest.
Hell-if "thats all I knew" (just hearing the lone speech) I would go inside and clap and scream too ...
(Just like an Elvis concert)

BUT.... I choose to stay outside and support the "Peace Movement" in "solidarity!"

While Outside:

I listen to the selfish "Tea Party folks"
I listened to the Christan(not) megaphone hate speech ranter(s).
I watched the cops stand around watching everyone.
I watched the corporate pundits all lined up with bright lights and satellite antennas and recording vans.
I watch the thousand "O" supports filter into the building like kids waiting for the circus.

I shook my head in wonderment!
It looked as if the people were 'just following" the next guy.
The sheep all seemed to just follow the person in front of them ...who followed the next person...who followed the next ...this blind follow the leader (figuratively speaking) is the well worn path to never make any change at all, exactly like what we are living and seeing as we speak today. (lost hope and no change)

But if you did go inside ....when Obama started repeating those old tired lies of Hope n Change" if you were inside you could (maybe) get goosebumps when he spoke and you "could stand and clap" ...for it does "sound" good. The problem is ...sounds good is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

I see this whole charade as one giant big "hood wink" ...it actually breaks my heart and is pretty depressing.

Less than 50 people stood their ground for DEMANDING PEACE outside across from the MLK entrance.

Those are the activist that I stand in solidarity with.

Thats my hope for change, no mirage, no smoke and mirrors, no ticket needed, no line to stand in, just standing on the firm principles of peace and Justice.

A video from protests outside coming soon ((( i )))
