The One Can't Withstand Ridicule

In the space of 5 days, the Precious One's 9 point lead over Mccain in the Gallup Daily following survey has totally vanished. When the Oborg began unctuously bleating about "adolescent tricks" in light of the arrangement of features mocking his ridiculous demands, we realized that the Mccain crusade was doing something right. Also in the process of a week in which Obama's creepily megalomaniacal explanations and senseless make-accept "president in holding up" acts were held up to open criticism his help totally cratered.

Where are Obama's fans who crowed about his 9 point lead over Mccain simply this part Monday? They're spluttering like educators of decorum, angered that their deity has turned into the object of jokes everywhere throughout the web and TV - and much more terrible, that he was actually lift by his petard.

Obama has been the cause all his own problems over the recent weeks and his discourse in Berlin will most likely go down as the start of the end of his fight. More regrettable, his heightening demands thereafter - announcing that he is one the entire world has been holding up for; requesting briefings from the true president's bureau secretaries; hold make-accept gatherings with outside heads of state as though he really as of now were president - and his hostile playing of the race card - set the stage for a gigantic descend.

This week has seen Obama slapped down - hard - consistently. Furthermore this from a man who his crusade has been anxious to depict as "excessively old" (much the same as Hilary seemed to be "so female") there is no option be president. I think he overlooked that while he himself is an unimportant production of the skilled advertiser David Axelrod, Mccain really is a man of substance. Furthermore that obviously is the reason the disparagement is so powerful: Obama is a nullity, a phantom, a nothing - however a nothing who has demands to be everything. The more Obama tries to battle again by playing the insulted diva, the sillier he makes himself look, in light of the fact that his words demonstrate that the assaults have hit the imprint.

That is additionally why his guards have committed some unpleasant errors: when they grumble that Mccain is well known, as well, in light of the fact that he was a brave POW who declined to offer his feelings out to increase his flexibility they simply attract consideration regarding Obama's void. When they guarantee prejudice at any feedback, they demonstrate exactly how ready they are to sling the mud while playing the victimized person.

Mccain demonstrated this week what Pumas have been stating since the start of the essential season: Obama will be beat effortlessly. Simply don't let him escape with playing the race card and welcome individuals chuckle at him each chance he does something stupendously self-important - which, given his absence of character, he can't resist doing again and again. Throughout the span of the primaries, Obama left a fortune trove of accursing proof about his absence of character. It's a genuine disgrace that Hillary did not react much prior, and a great deal all the more commandingly, when Obama attempted the race smear against her. It's a compassion that she thought excessively about being a decent Democrat to slap him down hard every time he demonstrated his staggering egotism by requesting she simply stop her crusade even as she won state after state by expanding edges.

What's more at last, Hillary helped not herself or Obama out by not battling harder and more, since the Mccain battle is more that eager to show what a sort of a perilously unhinged man Obama truly is - just by holding his words and deeds now and amid the primaries up to scorching scorn.

Since the DNC sold its spirit to the Obama battle for its colossal raising money capacities, it might be past the point of no return for it to spare itself from set down to yet an alternate shameful annihilation in this of all years. However that may be the main thing that can clean that gathering of the profound defilement and interminable ineptitude that swarms its initiative.

We now realize that we require not fear four years of an Obama organization - with its progressing oddity show of unrepentant local terrorists, race-teasing ministers and degenerate profiteers: it just won't happen. What we now need to do is hold the authority, which has provided for us stand out winning competitor in the previous 28 years - Bill Clinton, whom they fanatically criticized amid the whole essential season - responsible for compelling Obama on unwilling Democratic voters and shortcircuiting the essential process by giving Obama delegates he didn't win and taking without end ones from Hillary that she did gain . The greatness of Obama's misfortune is going to come as truly a stun to those virtuosos who thought they could win by kicking working population whites and latinos, ladies and gays out of their "new" Democratic Party and engaging singularly to blacks, upper-mid-pay whites and the politically-adjust Republicans who keep on maing up Obama's sole base of backing. The DNC and their partners who gamed the primaries, who always approached Hillary to drop out before anybody had a larger part of representatives, who reviled and denunciations at the verifiable base of the gathering - and who keep on doing so - must be constrained own their demonstrations and assume liability for their belongings. They have tried their hardest to wreck the gathering and they must harvest the apples and oranges of their ineptitude.

Senior member, Brazile, their comrades on the RBC and whatever remains of that regrettable group of Stevensonian washouts should at last record for a deep rooted record of coming up short - and offending - their constituents. Barack Obama will lose. That is a given. In any case notwithstanding the Oborg's finished implosion before Denver and Hillary being permitted to have an open carpet vote, we ought to do our absolute best to verify that the scale of that misfortune is great to the point that the Democratic Party will be compelled to do some real housecleaning a short time later.

Simply Say No Deal. That is the main way we'll host a positively dynamic Democratic Get-together that is valid to its working population roots and that can win in 2012.

London Records



London Records, referred to as London Recordings in logo, is a record label headquartered in the United Kingdom, originally marketing records in the United States, Canada and Latin America from 1947 to 1979, then becoming a semi-independent label. London arose from the split in ownership between the British branch of Decca Records and that same company's USA branch; the American London label released British Decca records in the USA, since it could not use the "Decca" name there. They were noted for their classical albums made in then state-of-the-art stereophonic sound. 

Such artists as Georg Solti, Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti made many, if not all, of their recordings for the company. The London name was also used by British Decca in the UK market to release American labels which British Decca licensed, such as Imperial, Chess, Dot, Atlantic, Specialty and Sun, as well as the first two UK releases from Motown. In the sixties more licensing deals were made with Big Top, Monument, Parrot, Philles and Hi, and London Atlantic, London Monument and London Dot became subsidiaries. The label bore the logo "London American Recordings", and on Radio Luxembourg it was known as "London American".

Otariidae

California sea lions
Eared seals, also called walking seals or otariids, include the animals commonly known as sea lions and fur seals. These vocal, social animals are somewhat better adapted to terrestrial habitats, with rear flippers that can turn forward so they can move on all fours on land. Their fore flippers are larger than those of earless seals and are used as a primary source of propulsion and maneuverability in the water. Eared seals have external ears, as their name suggests, and more dog-like snouts, further distinguishing them from true seals. While sea lions are generally larger than fur seals and lack the dense underfur of the latter, the long-standing division into subfamilies (Arctocephalinae and Otariinae for fur seals and sea lions, respectively) is unjustified in light of genetic evidence suggesting several fur seal species are more closely related to some sea lions than other fur seals. The iconic ball-balancing circus seal is generally some species of sea lion, most commonly a California sea lion.

Nullity

his campaign is all the evidence po-mo media theorists ever needed to prove their point -- so much so that if baudrillard were still around he could write a follow-on to his book on the first gulf war to yet again point out the obvious: barack obama does not exist.

the democrats’ “presumptive nominee” is a ghost, a fantasma, a cipher -- upon whom his campaign encouraged everyone to project equally empty fantasies: "post-partisanship," "transcending race," "a new politics," "change," "rise of the creative class," "the new jfk," and, possibly the most cringe-making, "a face to re-brand america." those fantasies are now turning into a nightmare for democrats who were foolish enough to willingly believe and repeat fairy-tales concocted by obama's political marketeers during the long primary season.

obama’s campaign managers and their media whores relentlessly promoted a simple strategy during the primaries: escalate tired feel-good platitudes about him and, by extension, his voters (that a certain kind of middle-income democrat finds irresistible) while tarring all opponents as “low-information,” “lower-class losers,” “frustrated middle-aged feminists,” or – the worst possible insult in a campaign that cannot discuss politics without reducing it to feelings – “racist” and therefore best purged from the body politic altogether.

but, aside from being incredibly shallow, a primary campaign strategy that’s based on playing with emotionally-charged imagery and encouraging empty moral grandstanding (“we are the change we have been waiting for”) at the expense of any substance is very risky. it's bound to lead to massive disillusionment in the general election. and we're starting to see that happen.

now that they believe the general election campaign is in full-swing the obama campaign does one of the only two things it knows how to do: but this time it's republicans who are being encouraged to project their hopes onto obama. and since axelrod, dean & co., (incorrectly) believe that democratic voters have nowhere else to go, the democratic fantasies about obama that they so encouraged in the spring are being ruthlessly shattered in the summer to make obama more marketable to republicans.

this time though there are grounds to hope that in its hubris the oborg has miscalculated and played its cards far too soon. because of obama's cack-handed reversals of policy and tone over the past few weeks, two things have happened among the democratic base: buyers remorse is rapidly increasing within the oborg and hillary's voters are even less likely than ever to vote for the precious. there is still time for the democratic party to say NO DEAL in august in denver.

what amazed me was just how brazenly and ineptly the oborg betrayed their most faithful supporters.

almost immediately after hillary withdrew from the race, the lightworker decided that he didn't really mean what he had repeatedly said about campaign finance reform and threw his former good government allies under the campaign bus. after all, he’d pulled in so much money through a sophisticated bundling operation that he had a seemingly insurmountable advantage over john mccain - why let promises stand in the way of accumulating even more money? and admittedly, some of his more devoted followers like excitable andy did praise the reversal as proof of the dear leader's machiavellian ruthlessness. but others seemed touchingly bewildered by the move: after all, the obamessiah had said he backed public financing, didn't he?

shortly afterward, the symbol of our diversity as a nation showed everyone just how he will treat anyone who has the audacity to be unintentionally remind voters of his muslim background: his campaign forced several women in traditional muslim garb off-stage at a campaign event. muslims now know that they mustn’t dare to smear obama by being anywhere near him. and in case there were any doubt, obama repeated the point, this time to gays, when he refused yet again to be anywhere near the chicago gay pride parade earlier this month.

then, on a roll, the precious one decided that he didn't mean anything he said about being opposed to FISA and voted for it. shock and horror across the “left” blogosphere and among “progressive” obots.

and iraq, the centre-piece of his campaign rhetoric? well, it seems that maybe his ex-foreign policy advisor samantha power really was telling the truth after all when she said – to the BBC on 4 April, far away from any democratic primary voters -- that the precious didn't really mean what he said about withdrawing troops from iraq. obama's "antiwar" pose was a very helpful ploy when he had to campaign against hillary for democratic voters -- even though his voting record was identical to hers on iraq -- but now that republican votes are more and more important his old position has outlived its usefulness. oh, and in case any democrats who voted for flipper are upset about this, he -- the eternal victim -- has a cheeky answer ready: it wasn't me who lied to you, it was the press.

and so on and so forth: obama now is against gun control though he was "for" it before. he's backtracking on NAFTA after pretending to campaign against it in the spring when democratic votes mattered.

and finally -- you knew this was coming, didn't you? -- he's found common ground with republican supreme court justices scalia and thomas on abortion. he's finally got a plausible explanation for some of those "present" votes in the illinois senate that he's so famous for.

in the space of a few weeks, the obama campaign's over-reaching has revealed a truth that's starting to re-shape the entire electoral calculus: barack obama does not exist. what we call barack obama is just an empty void. there is nothing and nobody there. a campaign that relentlessly focused on inane fantasies and symbols (as when andrew sullivan notoriously gave "what does he offer? first and foremost: his face." as his reason for supporting obama) finally showed through its endless betrayals that it has nothing else to focus on after all. and by now even some of his most fervent supporters in the past, from the bloggers at dailykos and firedoglake to the editorialists at the new york times -- are starting to understand the simplest and most fundamental point about obama:
Obama simply cannot be trusted. Obama cannot be trusted on any issue. Obama cannot be trusted by his friends. Obama cannot be trusted by his enemies. Obama cannot be trusted.

luckily for us, democrats still have not chosen a candidate. the convention in denver in august will decide who the democrats will nominate to run for president in november.

superdelegates have a choice: have an open convention and nominate the candidate who fought hard for what she openly believes and who received more votes than any democratic candidate for president in history, or go along with the coronation of obama and face defeat in the fall as more and more voters get to see the void that lies beneath the shiny marketing image.

and if the party leadership do succeed in forcing this shapeless fantasma on us then they need to understand that we own our votes and that we say NO DEAL.
