Vera Baker linked to Barack Obama Girlfriend rumors
A story in the UK’s Daily Mail is discussing a sstory about a relationship Barack Obama had with an aide during his 2004 Senate campaign.  According to the the story and other follow-up stories hitting the net Barack got close to a female staffer by the name of Vera Baker and stories of a Barak Obama girlfriend are heating up again. According to FEC Senate campaign records Baker was paid as Finance Director on Obama’s campaign, but Claire Serdiuk was usually listed as the campaign director.  S

Obama, flush with cash, buys up primetime network TV
Well it looks like Barack Obama can have the stage all to himself after all — and he doesn’t need John McCain to suspend his campaign to do it. The Democratic nominee for President is going the route of Matthew Lesko, Miss Cleo and Richard Simmons. He’s doing an infomercial. Prime time The Obama campaign is buying up the equivalent of waterfront property on the airwaves, purchasing 30-minute blocks of prime time on CBS and NBC. Expensive? Very. Although campaigns receive discounte

Vera Barker: Vera Barker & Barack Obama
What is Vera Barker’s link with Barack Obama? Vera Barker was listed in the FEC Senate campaign records as “Finance Director.” Some people in Chicago alleged Vera Barker was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. However, the researchers found that Claire Serdiuk was listed as the Finance Director for Obama’s 2004 campaign. Vera Barker was not listed online together with Claire Serdiuk. How can both women be Finance Directors? When there was buzz about Vera Barker, Barker was th

Angelina Talks About Barack Obama & Her Family
Angelina opened up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Below are some excerpts from the interview: On why she could be voting for Barack Obama: “Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family.” (On Monday, Brad

Angelina Jolie: Barack Obama Win Would Be 'Nice' For Family
BERLIN (AP) - Angelina Jolie isn't giving away who she's backing in the U.S. presidential election, but she does have good things to say about Barack Obama. The actress and activist tells the German edition of Vanity Fair that the Democratic contender for president comes down on the same side of several issues that she does. Asked if she finds Obama and his background an example to her family, she replies, "Naturally that's good, but it's not a sufficient reason to vote for him. "Obama fights for inte

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES? PT. 7
The fury and loathing of Obama being whipped up largely by McCain-Palin-GOP rhetoric about the Illinois Senator is now spilling into down-ticket races, specifically the battle between GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss and his Dem challenger: Thursday’s debate took place in front of a highly partisan crowd in the GOP stronghold of Middle Georgia. Chambliss supporters waved “Saxby” signs and offered up a sustained “boos” when Martin mentioned Democratic presidential nominee Barack

I don’t usually chat about politics
But this video really got under my skin. I have not talked about my particular vote in this election or who I believe or don’t believe. I post little random tidbits because quite frankly I feel everyone should be allowed to vote for who they think would do the best job possible. But then I see a video like this and it really disturbs me. No wonder our Country can not move forward because a lot of people are still living in the past. I feel very strongly that if we don’t learn from the past

Nice Work, Rensselaer County
The Times Union reports that absentee ballots for Rensselaer County read "Barack Osama" for the Democratic candidate--not Barack Obama. Both the Democratic and Republican commissioners claim it was an "honest mistake" and "typo," the article also points out the skepticism (hello, the b and s keys aren't even that close to each other!). Voters who called to complain are receiving new ballots, but one said, "It's a little suspicious and at least grossly incompetent. If I crossed out the name and wrote in th

Osama Ballot!
Barack Osama is running for President, at least on New York ballots. New York Ballots have Barack Osama running for President next month, not Barack Obama. Ballot writers in New York apparently spell worse than LALATE. The absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County are the ones that get Osama not Obama. The ballot did get John McCain’s name right. Of course, an AP story adds this in case you don’t know. “In the United States, the best-known individual named Osama is Osama b

“The Reason For The Season…”
One of those vintage gems my pops taught me was to ignore ignorance to avoid being “brought down” to another’s level. I ended up getting this as one of those forwarded messages (I hate forwarded messages, especially e-chain letters & religious notes) with the title “Yet another reason to vote for Obama” and it gave me a chuckle. It also put into perspective for me that perhaps people are using the wrong logic for determining who they will be voting for. I’m not vo

Upstate N.Y. Ballots: Barack ‘Osama’
Absentee ballots in Rensselaer County in upstate New York have listed the Democratic presidential nominee as “Barack Osama,” reports the Albany Times-Union. About 300 ballots were sent out. Other ballots have since been fixed. “No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,” said Democratic county commissioner Edward McDonough told the newspaper. One voter who caught the mistake [...] Related posts:The United States of Obama" The Barack Obama campaign unveiled a ne

LET THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEGIN: BARACK ‘OSAMA’ ON BALLOT IN NY
In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots with the name Barack Osama.  Commisioners say they regret the error and that it is a typo, which it could very well be.  But… Just take a second and look down at your keyboard and tell me how close the ’s’ and the ‘b’ are and how massively blundering your titanic hands would have to be to make this kind of accidnetal mis-type.

The CC Weekly Weigh In: If I Were President…
The election is less than 4 weeks away, which, obvi, everyone knows since the campaign commercials/ mailings/ phone calls/ SNL skits are EVERYWHERE. All the time. I even hear “I am Barack Obama and I approve this message,” in my freaking SLEEP. It’s crunch time and Barack Obama and John McCain are popping into new cities every day to tell Americans what they plan to do when they move into the Oval Office. Which got us thinking. We know that we could never run for president (there are w

Obama: Coming Up For Ayers
Voters are cynical. Obama doesn’t want them to be, implores them not to be at almost every campaign stop, yet in this episode he benefits from their cynicism. If [he] weathers the Ayers controversy, it will be in part because voters judge his association with Ayers, and his weak answers about that association, to be nothing more than a politician’s garden-variety duplicity…  Obama has not been candid. When asked about Ayers in a debate, he said he was “a guy who lives in my neighbo

Gains for Obama among people of faith
A new survey on faith and American politics shows Democratic nominee Barack Obama making inroads among some believers and moving ahead of Republican John McCain among Roman Catholics, largely because of young Catholics’ support. In the biggest shift over the past four years, Senator Obama now wins the backing of 60 percent of voters who attend religious services once or twice a month, a jump from the 49 percent the Democratic nominee won in 2004. Senator McCain holds the advantage only among the highly

Obama knocks on doors, surprises voters
Barack Obama jetted back to Ohio today to spend three days preparing for his final debate with John McCain. But before he holed up with his advisers, the candidate began knocking on doors in Holland, Ohio, making his way through a neighborhood of modest ranch and split-level homes. His move to the Toledo area comes as a new Ohio Newspaper poll puts the race at a dead heat, 48-46 for McCain. That's tightened considerably since the group's September survey had Obama down six points, 48-42. Sue Sekel, a 43
