L.A. Times Finally Notices Obama’s Thin Resume
Now that the election is over and “hope & change” is upon us, the L.A. Times decided to investigate and see just who this Barack Obama guy we elected really is — and what he’s done.
The conclusion — not a whole hell of a lot.
Prior to becoming the f*cking president, Barack Obama was a constitutional attorney as we’ve been told hundreds of times. However, he only actually worked as an attorney for four years. During that four year stint he only accrued 3,723 billable hours of legal work as an attorney for Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard.
According to his former colleagues, Obama was a great writer and researcher but worked on relatively few cases and never rose above the level of junior associate.
Here’s the breakdown of Obama’s vast legal career before entering politics:
Total # of legal cases Obama was involved with — 30
Total # of years as a full-time attorney — 4
70% of cases dealt with voting rights, civil rights, and employment.
30% of cases dealt with real-estate transactions, filing incorporation papers, and defending clients against lawsuits.
Total # of billable hours accrued — 3,723 ( most young lawyers accrue approx. 2,000 hours per year )
Kudos to Warner Todd Huston at NewsBusters for pointing this story out and breaking it all down so that even the biggest “Hope & Change” sycophants can understand it.
I expect this L.A. Times article will be the first of many around the country expressing sudden shock that “The One” is a half-ass lawyer from Chicago that gives a good speech — and that’s pretty much it.
Way to go media!

Media’s Favorite Tranny — Pregnant Again
Thomas Beatie, the tranny that the media so affectionately referred to as the first “pregnant man” is back — and pregnant again. The story was horrifying enough the first time around and now we have to live it all over again, thanks to Barbara Walters.
This story is tailor made for the liberal media. For a liberal journalist, it just doesn’t get much better than the Thomas Beatie story. However, the media narrative that this woman is some kind of courageous hero is a total farse.
Somebody has to say it — so I guess I will. Thomas Beatie is no hero. She’s just your average pregnant tranny who’s too selfish and self-centered to realize the responsibility of bringing children into the world. She doesn’t care what a difficult life her children face with a freak show for a family. The brutal teasing that lies ahead for those children as they try and explain why mommy is a bearded lady is something no child should have to face.
I’m not against gay adoption or anything like that. But a woman who pumps herself full of hormones, grows a beard, and starts calling herself Thomas has no business bringing children in to the world.
Thomas Beatie doesn’t deserve any hatred or ill will directed towards her or her family, but she certainly doesn’t deserve any praise.

Gov. Palin Believes In God — Say It Ain’t So
Gov. Sarah Palin has done several television interviews the last few days. One was with Matt Lauer and the other with Greta Van Susteren. Greta’s interview with Palin was probably one of the best interviews of 2008. It was a fascinating in home interview in which the governor cooked Moose chili and Caribou hot dogs for Greta and the crew. The interview was in two parts with each lasting nearly an hour and aired Monday and Tuesday night.
Out of everything Gov. Palin said on those two nights, the only part the media is buzzing about was when she spoke about God and her faith. One would think we were living in a secular progressive country led by an Athiest president for the last eight years given the media’s reaction to her comments.
Chris Matthews called Palin’s references to her faith “dangerous” and Maureen Dowd couldn’t resist penning a snotty little op-ed referencing the comments as well. It goes without saying that Dowd being the liberal elitist b*tch that she is, just can’t help herself. The idea that a woman could actually be unpretentious and authentic is simply inconceivable. Any woman who doesn’t abort her babies, doesn’t live in NYC, and doesn’t believe Al Gore is quite simply — a dumbass.
‘Chutzpah’ is the word that comes to mind when I hear Chris Matthews call Gov. Palin’s religious views “dangerous.” This from a guy who said on air that Barack Obama’s speeches give him a thrill up his leg. Or when he said just a couple of days ago that his job is to make Obama’s presidency a success. Now that is dangerous.
In case you missed the interview with Gov. Palin, here’s the hideous thing she said about her faith:
We are gonna have a 2012. I don’t know who’s gonna be a part of it. You
know I, I, faith is a very big part of my life and putting, putting my
life in my creator’s hands. This is what I always do in life. Okay God
if there is an open door for me somewhere – this is what I always pray
– I’m like don’t let me miss the open door. And if there is an open
door in ‘12 or four years later and if it’s something that’s gonna be
good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me,
then I’ll plow through that door.
Whoa! Now that’s what I call controversial. After all, we’ve never heard Barack Obama talk about his faith.

Chutzpah: Obama Thanks ‘Gracious’ Press
This stink bomb from AFP:
Democrat Barack Obama made a rare foray to the press section of his campaign plane early Tuesday — election day — to thank reporters for accompanying him on his grueling 21-month ride.
…”But you guys have been gracious and understanding,” he said, following conservative criticism of the press for its coverage of Obama, as his plane prepared to depart after a huge rally in Virginia for Chicago.
“It’s been a good long ride with all of you,” the Illinois senator said. “Whatever happens tomorrow (Tuesday) it’s going to be extraordinary and you guys have shared this process with us.”
He certainly has plenty to thank them for. If he wins the election it won’t be because of his socialist/marxist ideas, it will be because the press did everything it could to hide his flaws.

Don’t Be Fooled — This Election Is Not Over
I have suspected for some time that the liberal media was trying to demoralize republicans by creating the narrative that the race is over — and John McCain should just throw in the towel.
A couple of articles I read this morning from alleged Obama insiders pretty well confirms my suspicions and then some.
Read all about it HERE and HERE — then go vote.
Obama: Fox News Is Keeping My Poll Numbers Down
This is just too good to be true. I had to laugh out loud when I read this. Barack Obama says even though he’s ahead in the polls, he’s convinced he would be even further ahead if Fox News didn’t exist.
“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told me. “If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?
“I guess the point I’m making,” he went on, “is that there is an entire industry now, an entire apparatus, designed to perpetuate this cultural schism, and it’s powerful. People want to know that you’re fighting for them, that you get them. And I actually think I do. But you know, if people are just seeing me in sound bites, they’re not going to discover that. That’s why I say that some of that may have to happen after the election, when they get to know you.”
What he’s saying is that the only thing standing between him and total media message control is Fox News. If Fox would just jump in the tank with the rest of the media he would have this thing wrapped up! Sorry Barry, some people actually give a shit about the truth.
Thank God for Fox News.

Video: Olbermann Says McCain Helping Bin Laden
Ah yes, it’s time for another shrill, absurd, and highly comical “special comment” from the biggest blow hole on TV, Keith Olbermann.
Olbermann’s phony outrage is directed at the 9/11 tribute video that aired during the Republican convention. The same video that Keith ‘apologized’ to viewers for while he was wearing his ‘anchor hat’ on the last night of the convention.
Oddly enough, Keith forget to mention in his special comment that his phony outrage over the 9/11 tribute is what got his ass canned from anchoring election coverage ever again at MSNBC (The Obama Network).
Video: Olbermann’s Phony Outrage Over 9/11 Tribute Video
How does anyone watch this clown without bursting out laughing?
(hat tip to (Olbermann Watch)
UPDATE: Here’s the video that Olby found so offensive:
Keith just doesn’t want Americans to be reminded that radical Islam continues to be a grave threat, because then they might vote for John McCain.
Video: Noonan Blasts MSNBC Coverage Of Obama Speech, Scarborough Mocks Olbermann
The ‘grand slam’ comment that Joe is talking about came from Keith Olbermann. I thought Olbermann and Matthews were gonna start giving each other ‘reach arounds’ after Obama’s speech they were so thrilled. MSNBC is nothing but a source of good comedy when they cover politics.
Video: Scarborough Shreds David Schuster On ‘Morning Joe’
This feels so damn good to watch. “I bet everyone at MSNBC has Independant on their voting cards”
EDWARDS ADMITS AFFAIR
In an interview to air tonight on ABC, John Edwards admits to having affair and admits he lied about it.
In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
He also acknowledges that his wife was unaware of his meeting at the hotel where he was confronted by reporters from The National Enquirer.
Edwards is denying the report that he paid Hunter any money to keep quite, but says it’s possible some of his friends or surrogates paid her money.
L.A. Times Blog Acknowledges Edwards Scandal By Posting A Link — Now That’s Brave
I just love how all of the sudden the media is suffering an attack of conscience. 365 days a year the media act like soulless vultures feasting on every aspect of the lives of public figures — especially conservative ones. Facts have long been irrelevant, all the media has ever needed is a whiff of speculation for a front page story.
Remember the NY Times attack on John McCain? A couple of unnamed disgruntled former aides said that maybe he could have had an inappropriate affair with a lobbyist. No one saw an affair, heard about an affair, or caught McCain having an affair with the lobbyist, but the word of two former aides that it could have happened is all the Times needed for a front page story.
Some months later John Edwards, Mr. Poverty, Mr. liberal Democrat gets busted by reporters at 2:00 am visiting his love child and mistress. He runs and hides out in the men’s room until security can escort him from the building and no one in the media dares breathe a word about it. The L.A. times, NY Times, and every other media outlet is suddenly concerned with “getting all the facts” and not “rushing to judgment.”
Fox News interviewed the security guard at the hotel who rescued Edwards from the bathroom and he confirmed what the National Enquirer originally reported. Still the media remains silent, not comfortable that all the facts are in yet.
Give me a break! This is one of the most incredible examples of media corruption in history. It’s so obvious that the media is treating this with kid gloves, because it’s John Edwards. If this story would’ve been about Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, or anyone with an (R) next to their name this would have been front page coast to coast.
Finally the LA Times blog acknowledges the story not by posting it, but putting up a link with a caveat.
We have decided to post, on Top of the Ticket, an item and link to a Charlotte Observer report, quoting Democratic supporters of Edwards on the record as saying that they think he needs to address the National Enquirer report if he hopes to speak at the convention. While we have stayed away from that Enquirer report, because we couldn’t confirm it, this strikes us as a legitimate story — that on-the-record Dems, including a former Edwards campaign manager, are criticizing Edwards’ decision to stay mum on the topic and saying it might affect his credibility enough that he wouldn’t get a speaking slot at the convention. (Those speaking slots haven’t been decided yet, the party says.)
So the LA Times still refuses to cover the story, but acknowledges that Edwards may not be able to speak at the Democratic convention because of the story — the story they won’t cover.
I actually think the media’s continued refusal to cover the story is beginning to eclipse the story itself. John Edwards is being allowed a free pass for his abhorrent behavior and outrageous hypocrisy.
This clown is in the running for VP or Attorney General and he thinks nothing of cheating on his wife while she’s sick with cancer? Maybe it’s just me, but that’s sure as hell not change I can believe in.
