Sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir

by Chris Robling

(The first part of this email is one circulating on the internet, written in the voice of the actor Peter Falk's greatest achievement, LA homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo. My addition, which has a Chicagoan's awareness of specifics, starts with, "Friendly Addendum.")

Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um...know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and...ah...I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?

See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.

I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be 'locked' or 'not available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are . . I . . I . . . have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.

Could you help me please find these things, sir?

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.

You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after 143 days of experience.

You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT....

'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience i n  the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.  After
143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days.

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a  start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the  United States of America  ?  Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!

Friendly addendum…

While you are at it, Senator, how about releasing complete details regarding:

n  Your ties to Gamaliel Foundation

n  Your ties to Acorn

n  The reasons you cite for the failure, according to its own audit report, of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Foundation (CACF), which you chaired, to improve educational outcomes for Chicago Public School kids

n  Why at CACF you supported identity training over academics in the vast majority of grants

n  Why at CACF you, Bill Ayres, and everyone else insisted that grants be divided between the ‘identity curriculum’ providers and ‘community partners,’ which interestingly turned out with great frequency to be… Acorn and Gamaliel Foundation.

n  Why you threw in the towel on a new Hispanic ward in the City of Chicago 1991 ward redistricting case.  In view of the fact you won a new ward for African Americans in the case, are Hispanics less deserving than African Americans of wards to which their numbers entitle to them, according to your own briefs and arguments?  Are they less deserving than anyone else?

n  How you could attend Rev. Wright’s services for 20 years and elevate him in importance to your personal spiritual life and not know what was common knowledge in Chicago about the longtime orientation of his sermonizing

n  When and how you learned that the “Bill Ayers” you met in Hyde Park was in fact Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground co-founder, since your campaign now says you did not know who he was when you first met him

n  The thought process you used to arrive at the conclusions you should socialize with, work with, blurb, speak with and fund Mr. Ayres over a lengthy period after realizing who he is

n  Your billings on all entities involving Antoin Rezko while at the Allison Davis / Judd Miner firm

n  The nature and extent of your relationship with Tony Rezko

n  The nature and extent of your relationship with Nadhmi Auchi

n  Your efforts to have the LA Times release the videotape of Professor Khalidi’s going away party

We ask ourselves, “Will any more on any of these issues ever come to light?”  Inevitably, the answer is yes.  The truth will out.

In fact, all of the answers exist now, but we are not allowed to know them.  Instead, we have been told, they do not matter and we should happily vote without them.

Thus speaks the NY Times, the LA Times, the Tribune, David Axelrod, CBS, MSNBC, the Obama campaign, NBC, other organs of right opinion, etc., etc.

They further state -- univocally, as it happens -- we are wrong to ask.  They say, "asking" is "smearing."

Thus did presidential campaign journalism die in 2008, with circulation figures plummeting.  And thus did voters see the media, overwhelmingly, take the side of Barack Obama.  And thus for the first time in recorded human history was a "transfer payment increase" to those who pay no taxes deemed a "tax cut." 

Those who want these answers will pursue them, no matter what office Senator Obama holds on January 21, 2009. 

In the meantime, just as Senator Obama decries the U.S. Constitution for its fundamental founding flaw of countenancing racism embodied in slavery, it should be noted that his national career has its own flaw, in that throughout his camapign he has worked at nothing more than building a stone wall around the truth of his past. 

As questions arose, he layered on course after course of stone. 

As questions sharpened, and some facts escaped, such as by Stanley Kurtz’ heroic demand to see documents held by the University of Illinois at Chicago for the public but which, it initially said, could not be viewed, Senator Obama's stone wall was thickened. 

When Mr. Kurtz spoke out, he was vilified for questioning.  Those on top of the wall threw down on him calumny, lies, distortions and falsities. The same was done to David Freddoso.  The same was done to the program hosts on whose programs they appeared.  The same was done to the station managers of the stations on which they appeared.  In time, the same was done to Sarah Palin and Joe Wurzelbacher.  Conversation by vilification, for those who care to ask and those who care to be involved.  It is the start of a new politic, born on the shady streets of Hyde Park.  The problem was -- those who question.

When inconveniences arose, such as the Times of London reporting the low estate to which Senator Obama's beloved Aunt had been reduced in taxpayer-funded Boston housing, living out-of-status in the eyes of the U.S. immigration officials,or the Italian Vanity Fair discoverying his half-brother living in a crate outside Nairobi, the stonewall enclosed his entire campaign – it simply would not respond.  "I'm just not going to go there," a spokesman was quoted this weekend as saying.

His running mate, Joe Biden, now holds a record for ignoring the media, vice-presidential division.  Senator Biden is protected by the same stone wall.  He can say we invaded Lebanon with France and routed Hezbollah, on a nationally televised debate, no less, and Sarah Palin's daughter's sex life is identified as illustrative of Governor Palin's fitness for office.            

So, if Senator Obama is elected tomorrow, he is so on a lie.  It is his own fundamental flaw on founding:  ‘I am he who will change politics,’ he asserted.  ‘Just don’t ask how I got here,’ his actions have said.

Senator Obama, tear down your wall.

This radio show is about what is truly at stake in this election, and what we are TRULY voting for. This election can change the mindset of the entire country and could have an effect for years to come. Most people don't think of it in this way. It's very surprising. And either way you decide, you will at least be aware and understand the unspoken implications. If you like what you hear, please pass the link on to others who you may think might like it.

Very good post Chris.

All excellent points. The sad part is that after tonight, it won't matter. If the MSM wasn't asking these questions before the election, we certainly won't get answers after the election.

While on the subject of things that aren't supposed to matter, do we need to delete all the pages in history books that discuss anything before Barack was 8 years old?

Last Plaintive Scream From Melting Witch Race Card As America Regains Its Senses And Votes For John McCain

In The Wizard of Oz the melting witch screams after little dorothy douses her with the water of Life and Reason eliminating fantasy and lurching back to sanity of Kansas-light bread America.

Of course Columbo would understand as an ethnic minority Italian the racial and cultural dynamics which have forced most black and a large quanity of racial-absolvement seeking guilty white Americans to abandon Reason and Logic, and, yes, Life to ,um,seek the ultimate "anti-Bush" a black liberal whose mixed-race background has subtle racial appeal to both whites and blacks. The fact that the financial debacle caused by sub-prime mortgage players who have rewarded Senator Obama with the second largest campaign contributions in Congress simply does not matter. What Bill Clinton and Reagan accomplished with TEFLON, Obama has accomplished through subtle and overt race card playing: to question his resume is racist. To question his lack of foreign policy experience or qualifications to "be" American commander in chief is sacreligious. To question his belief that raising capital gains and estate taxes will merely be wealth transfers to larger government is patently racist. To question his lock-step marching with labor unions and anti-trade protectionsism designed to ensure further economic failure of the free market and FURTHER emergence of the socialist model replacement economy prayed for by left-wing radicals (the non-godless ones) for two generations of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrns..all racist.
John McCain will move America away from racial dissension and the remarkable prowess and efficacy of the most vaunted media-driven race card in modern political history. Geraldine Ferraro, Bill Clinton, and countless others will be able to come outside in daylight without being scorned for their racial sacrileges. White America will be free at last from suspicion and rebuke as America enters a new era where the awesome race card is buried when the polls close on a McCain victory, not a moment too soon.
