Thunderous Ovation for GWB & GHWB at World Series Game 4 as “W” Throws a Strike … While Obama Speaks to Half Empty Crowd
MISS THEM YET AMERICA … WHAT A MOMENT TONIGHT IN TEXAS.
Father, son and baseball … it does not get any more American than that. Tonight at the MLB World Series in Texas, George W. Bush (43) and George H.W. Bush (41) entered the ballpark to thunderous applause to throw out the first pitch. The crowd kept on cheering. America, remember what it feels like to genuinely feel good about a moment that is not spin or about so-called promises of hope and change?
Check out the fast ball from “W”! I had to chuckle when I heard Nolan Ryan ask the President whether he wanted him behind the plate or not. GWB’s response was, oh yea, that’s fine like of course, what else is there, hahaha.
Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
Who would have thought in less than two years that we would miss GWB? However, Obama’s policies and liberal/socialist agenda have made many long for the days. One thing you never heard for GWB was blaming Clinton for anything, even though we were in the midst of an economic downturn, dot com bubble disaster and corporate scandals following the 8 year of Bill Clinton. Bush never played the blame game.
Remember Barack Hussein Obama’s pathetic first pitches? Who could forget the lameness.
On the campaign trail, Obama’s final pre-election rally ended with a thud. I guess one could say, that Obama came “in like Liar and out like a lamb”.
Interestingly enough, today Barack Obama spoke to a half empty audience in Ohio. Obama and Biden failed to pack the arena at the event billed as the final one in a series of “Moving America Forward” rallies aimed at ginning up enthusiasm for Democrats. Oops! I guess we can see how enthused Democrats are with Obama in Ohio where unemployment and the economic down turn has devastated Ohioans. I guess we know why Republicans Bob Portman is running away with the Ohio US Senate race and John Kasich is the odds on favorite to become Ohio’s next Governor.
Where have all the people gone Mr. President?
The arena where President Obama and Vice President Biden are making their final appeal to Democrats to get out and vote in Tuesday’s midterm elections was far from capacity Sunday afternoon.
The crowd estimate stands at 8,000 in the arena that seats just over 13,000and a couple thousand empty seats are visible above the stage where Obama and Biden rallied supporters.
The NY Times state run media noticed the lack of presence of individuals but decided to take the company line of lies and spin. By the way, Cleveland State has about an enrollment of 16,000 students, the Cleveland Browns had a bye week so there was no football and Democrats going to church, really?
About 8,000 people attended the Democratic National Committee’s Moving America Forward’ rally at Cleveland State University’sWolstein Center, a hall where the capacity is 13,000. The rafters were largely empty.
Organizers noted the president was competing on a Sunday afternoon with church, football and Halloween.

NYC to Ban Whistles & Catcalls … What’s Next Outlawing Bronx Cheers?
Whistles, catcalls and lewd come-ons from strangers might soon be against the law. If so, what will construction workers do, fill up the local NYC police jails? Folks want to legalize drugs bit make whistling and cat calls illegal. Granted, stories of preteens and teenagers being hounded by adult men outside city schools is pervy, but there are other ways to go about this.
Whistles, catcalls and lewd come-ons from strangers are all too familiar to New York City women, who say they are harassed multiple times a day as they walk down the street. Now lawmakers are examining whether to do something to discourage it.
A City Council committee heard testimony Thursday from women who said men regularly follow them, yell at them and make them feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Advocates told stories of preteens and teenagers being hounded by adult men outside city schools and pleaded for government to address the problem.
“This is not our way of not being able to take a compliment,” said Nefertiti Martin, who testified at the hearing. “This is an issue of safety.”
Safety is always an issue; however, what’s next making it a crime to give a Bronx cheer in NYC?
47% of Democrats Say Obama Should Have Primary Challenge in 2012 … Overall, 51% Say He Should be a One Term “One-der”
Barack Obama … a one term “One-der”.My how times have changed since 2008 and the American people have come to realize what Barack Hussein Obama is all about. Will Obama face a challenge in the 2012 Democrat primaries? Will there be a civil war in the Democrat party following the 2010 election avalanche?
In a recent Associated Press-Knowledge Networks Poll, 47% of Democrats believe that Barack Obama should be challenged in the 2012 Democrat primaries. What party is in the midst of a civil war? What a change from 2008, where they deemed Obama, “The One” and ”The Obamamessiah”. Overall, 51% of those polled stated Obama deserves to be defeated in November 2012 while 47 percent support his re-election.
That glum assessment carries over into the nation at large, which is similarly divided over whether Obama should be a one-term president.
A real Democratic challenge to Obama seems unlikely at this stage and his re-election bid is a long way off. But the findings underscore how disenchanted his party has grown heading into the congressional elections Tuesday.
The AP-KN poll has tracked a group of people and their views since the beginning of the 2008 presidential campaign. Among all 2008 voters, 51 percent say he deserves to be defeated in November 2012 while 47 percent support his re-election _ essentially a tie.
Among Democrats, 47 percent say Obama should be challenged for the 2012 nomination and 51 percent say he should not be opposed. Those favoring a contest include most who backed Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsuccessful faceoff against Obama for the 2008 nomination. The poll did not ask if Democrats would support particular challengers.
It is not a sign of strengthfor Barack Obama that many Democrats ran against his policies and agenda in the 2010 midterm elections. The only reason why Democrat Joe Manchin has a chance in the WV Senate race is because he takes a shot at Obama’s Cap & Trade policy, literally. Nor is it a good thing that former President Bill Clinton has a higher approval rating and was a greater draw for Democrat candidates. Is Hillary Clinton waiting in the winds for a 2012 run? Here are some more bits of polling data that show how Obama has fallen from grace.
- Of those who said right after the 2008 election that they had a favorable opinion of Obama, nearly one-quarter now view him negatively.
- Sixty-one percent of Democrats who said in spring 2008 that they were backing Clinton now say Obama should face an opponent for the party’s nomination.
- More than 1 in 4 who said in October 2008 that Obama understands the problems of ordinary Americans now say he doesn’t. The same is true for those who said he is innovative, cares about people like them and shares their values.

Sarah Palin on Fox News Sunday: We Have Tape of Those “Corrupt Bastards” (CBS affiliate KTVA) In Media Conspiring Against Alaska US Senate Republican Joe Miller
Why we love Sarah Palin … she calls it like we all know it to be … Palin called out on Fox News Sunday this morning with Chris Wallace the partisan, unethical CBS affiliate media and calls them “CORRUPT BASTARDS”.
As reported earlier today, Alaska CBS affiliate KTVA were caught on a voice recording conspiring to create negative news stories and pick out potential “child molesters” in the crowd supporting Republican Tea Party candidate Joe Miller.
Sarah Palin: We Have Video of “Corrupt Bastards” In Media Conspiring Against Joe Miller
Hat Tip Video: Gateway Pundit
“Just last night it was revealed that the rally that I had for Joe Miller on Thursday, it was revealed and we have the tape to prove it, that the CBS reporters, the affiliate in Alaska, conspired to make up stories about Joe Miller. We have the tape Chris, and I can’t wait until it busts out all over the nation, that shows what it is that we… kinda what I put up with for two years now from the media… but what Joe Miller is faced with in someone like Lisa Murkowsky who feels so entitled to that seat, that she and some of her people including some complicit in the media will do anything, they will stop at nothing, to allow Lisa Murkowsky to get back elected.”
I am saying that we have on tape the CBS reporters in the affiliate up there in Alaska saying, “Let’s find a child molester in the crowd as a supporter of Joe Miller. Let’s blast that. Let’s concoct a Rand Paul moment there. Let’s find any kind of chaos so we can tweet, “Ooh, there’s chaos. Joe Miller got punched.”” That’s sick. Those are corrupt bastards, Chris.
From Breitbart TV, a some what better recording to listen to.
UPDATE I: KTVA confirmed the authenticity of the tape Sunday but rejected as “absurd” the suggestion that reporters were trying to “fabricate” a negative story about Miller. KTVA General Manager Jerry Bever issued a statement that is rather hard to believe when one listens to the audio and understands the context of the discussion and when it took place.
KTVA General Manager Jerry Bever issued a lengthy statement Sunday calling the recording “unfortunate because it does not accurately reflect the journalistic standards of our newsroom.” But he said Miller’s analysis and transcript of the recording are “inaccurate,” noting that the recording only captured newsroom personnel talking at the end of a “coverage planning meeting” regarding the Anchorage rally last Thursday.
“The group of KTVA news personnel was reviewing potential ‘what-if’ scenarios,discussing the likelihood of events at the rally and how KTVA might logistically disseminate any breaking news,” Bever said.
“The perception that this garbled, out of context recording may leave is unfortunate, but to allege that our staff was discussing or planning to create or fabricate stories regarding candidate Miller is absurd. The complete conversation was about what others might be able to do to cause disruption within the Miller campaign, not what KTVA could do,” he said.
He added: “Have we had internal discussions about the level of professionalism we need to bring to our conversations, internally and externally? Of course we have, this is a lesson to learn from.”
Really? Take a good listen to the audio of this tape and read the transcript. Although many parts of the tape are inaudible, there is laughter from the KTVA news people when discussing the so called “what-if” scenarios. Laughter? Likelihood of scenarios at the event, Seriously? Comments about Rand Paul like moments and finding the child molesters in the crowd are potential scenarios to cover?
The MSM was caught red handed in a conversation that was never intended to be heard and they have no explanation as to how to explain it. Remember, the conversation would have occurred right after they got off the phone with the Miller campaign.
Sarah Palin tweets Joe Miller words of encouragement:
Joe Miller – do not give up. It’s you against the machine. This is it. “‘Lost causes’ are the only ones worth fighting for.” Clarence Darrow

Because Liberals Never Bring HITLER signs to Rallies … They Claim only Tea Party Do Such Things
Looks like Hitler mustaches on a Leftist sign to me …
So much for the LEFT’s claims that only “Hitler” signs show up at Tea Party rallies. Look what popped up at this weekends “Bring in the Clowns” non-political rally in DC. From MSNBCcomes the following Hitler sign from the moonbat LEFT present at this weekends Jon Steward “sanity” insanity rally. The rally was supposed to embody working together, so much for that.
We can see that the LEFT has put Hitler mustaches on pics of the likes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Republican Reps John Boehner and Eric Cantor. Just an FYI … Eric Cantor is a Jew, how absolutely sick and disgusting is this from the LEFT? Just another thing you will never see on the MSM.
Oh and by the way, 215,000 people … REALLY! REALLY? Hardly. Let’s take a look at Patterico Pontification’s pic of the Stewart and Beck events. You make the call.
