In a new message from Al-Qaida #2 Ayman al-Zawahri he called Barack Obama and secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice “house negroes”. Also saying they are not honorable black Americans like Malcom X. It’s a good insight into how they view Barack Obama and this upcoming administration. Could it be they will hate this administration more than they did the Bush Administration ? I know it’s crazy but these guys aren’t exactly known for their reasoning. I am also curious if the Obama administration will continue to use Al-Qaida as the boogieman like the Bush administration has. Or if they will actually treat them as the threat that they are and hunt down the leaders and break that terrorist organization once and for all.

Very good article over at Reason by Radley Balko. Asking if Barack man enough to put forth the true change that has been promised? It’s a right that many Presidents have hidden behind and I think it’s time for it to go. The time for the government to be held accountable is upon us. The job of the President of the United States of America is wildly considered the most important job in the world. Shouldn’t it also be the most honest and transparent? It would help prove that Barack Obama really wants change and isn’t full of shit.

That’s the word on the street right now and I think that it’s a very strong statement of unity if it’s true. It would pull the democratic party together and make it much stronger. I would be interested to see how the Republicans feel about this. Will it make them want to go after the Obama administration even more? We all know how much they love the Clintons.

The fed is refusing to report on who they have given nearly $2 Trillion of our tax dollars to. It’s a damn shame that they are allowed to operate above the law like this. They are a huge part of why we are in the situation that we’re in. I say it’s time to fire everybody at the fed and start from scratch. We need to take our country back people. It’s never going to get fixed as long as the same people are in power. Use your vote like you did on November 4th and elect people that actually love this country and are not looking to get as much pork as they can for their district. We need people that are willing to look at the big picture and take tough stands for the betterment of this country. Bloomberg has filed a lawsuit to get access to the list and I will report here as soon as I hear something.

I know we are in dire times but I also hope this isn’t a sign of things to come. It’s never a good sign when a president uses executive orders to avoid congress. I hope that Barack is very careful with his use of these powers over his term. I am understanding of the need to get things moving. I don’t fault him for it at all. But at the same time I think it’s something that we all have to keep an eye on.

Since it’s Sunday and sort of a slow news day. I thought I would take the opportunity to touch on the subject of Rev. Hagee and Rev. Wright and their effect on the general election. Rev. Wright has gotten a lot more coverage as Barack Obamas family pastor for 20 years. So lets touch on John McCains pastor John Hagee first. Rev. Hagee is under fire for some comments such as… (more…)
Gotta love the news making a story out of nothing yet again. Jake Tapper - ABC News Senior National Correspondent. Had a post today (Story Here)Â and you would think that a national correspondent on politics would be familiar with political jokes. John McCain wasn’t talking about wife beating at all of course but in this PC world he’s in the wrong somehow. Guess it must be a slow news day for Mr. Tapper.
There is a big scandal over McCain advisor Charlie Black making some statements the other day to fortune magazine. “a fresh terrorist attack ‘certainly would be a big advantage to him.’” ummm I know it’s being called outrageous by John Kerry said that by even thinking of an attack in political terms, Mr. Black was practicing ‘the worst of the Rove-Bush fear playbook’. Ok, But isn’t this a scandal that isn’t really a scandal? When did it become bad to tell the truth and state what most people are thinking? It would benefit McCain in my opinion and if there was an attack. Sure it’s not a pleasant thought.
Well now that he’s got the democratic nomination under control he seems to be changing his tune on some things. During the Potomac Primaries he missed the voting on the FISA bill. He did issue a statement though and stated that he stood by senator Dodd and Senator Feingold in fighting that legislation. His exact quote was “”I am proud to stand with Senator Dodd, Senator Feingold and a grassroots movement of Americans who are refusing to let President Bush put protections for special interests ahead of our security and our liberty.”"
This site is an alternative to the official Barack Obama smear fighting site http://www.FightTheSmears.com we got off to a fun start with aRickRolling parody of Baracks’ site. It got mentioned on all the cable news channels and a lot of political sites and that just wasn’t my fault. But it was a kick to see a parody site being touted as the real deal. Makes you wonder where journalistic integrity went. I’m still going to. I plan on keeping the humor going on here but i’m also going to strive to give an unbiased take on Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Of course we will be reporting on John McCain and Cindy McCain as well. Why should Mr. Obama have a site where he can post about smears and John McCain not have that same right. Doesn’t feel fair to me and i’m just trying to even the field a little. We hope that you like what you see and we always look forward to hearing your opinion on the candidates and this site. We should be ready to go full steam ahead in the next few days. But feel free to leave a comment here or email me and i’ll get back to you A.S.A.P.
*UPDATE- I decided to launch a little early to give tribute to Tim Russert. I’ll be tweking the site and making it the best it can be over the next few days. So please bear with me and if you come over any errors please email me at xclusive@fightthesmears.org
