“Too bad Tony Rezko’s going to jail.”

Yeah, he doesn’t own a gun.

Good catch, Wallaby.

Though to be fair, that is all that is required by the Constitution.

SG -
Check out the presidential oath of office that is provided at the website of the new extra-constitutional “Office of the President-Elect”:

http://change.gov/learn/inauguration/

The bare oath, mandated by the Constitution, is quoted.

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Tellingly, the traditional coda:

…so help me God.

is omitted.

Change you can believe in? I can only think of what one of my former co-workers’ once said to me about regime changes: ‘The only thing that changed from Czarist rule in Russia, to Communist rule was that one set of thugs was replaced by another.’ It’s no different here. You can cover the present in prettier wrapping paper but once it’s removed you still have the same thing.

It has just been announced that Obama has appointed Valerie Jarrett as Senior White House Advisor.

Get a load of Jarrett:

Obama, the change artist, cleaning out Chicago crooks, and moving them to Washington, D.C.

Too bad Tony Rezko’s going to jail. He was probably promised the Secretary of Treasury gig.

street hustler, rabble-rouser or shakedown artist. Perhaps that defines a ‘community organizer’.

I would agree with that. But you have to be at least half black to pull it off.

For all his vaunted intelligence, when unscripted, he comes off as little more than a street hustler, rabble-rouser or shakedown artist. Perhaps that defines a ‘community organizer’.

Does anyone remember the O’Rielly interview where he specifically asked Obama how often he had attended Trinity Church of Christ to which Obama said a “couple of times a month.” Not withstanding that would have put Obama in the pews almost 500 times in 20 years, that he named his own book after a Wright sermon and states, without reservation, in that book that he took recorded tapes of Wright’s sermons to Harvard with him, it seems that Obama was not being completely honest with Mr. O’Reilly and the rest of the nation.

According to an interview obtained from Obama during his 2004 Senatorial campaign, he was a little more specific about how often he attended Trinity. Now, after you read this, I will remind you that almost always, a minister, or priest, gives the same sermon at all services on a Sunday. They do not write one sermon for the 8:00 service and another for the 11:00 service.

You will note that Obama is very specific about his attendance and even goes so far as to say which service. He also notes his extreme closeness to the Rev. (if you can call him that) Jeremiah Wright, Jr.

Add to this William Ayer’s statement that he and Obama were “family friends” which simply means that not only were they friends, their spouses were as well. No surprise. I am sure that Michelle Obama, who surely by now must be proud of her nation, or at least 52% of the voters, has a lot in common with Bernadette Dohrn.

Who is that man behind the mask? Well, 48% of us voters knew. It looks like the 52% are about to find out.

Well that makes me feel great, knowing that not only is the man of “change” re-hiring all the big shots from the Clinton era, but a lot of them are also connected in some way to Fannie Mae. Wow, great plan.

Of course this makes me wonder even more:

Yes that.s right, unless you’re an ex-Clinton staffer with Fannie Mae connections Obama wants to know all your dirt before he’ll let you work for him. Including ex-lovers, personal diaries, and whether anyone in the family owns a gun. I’m sure the Obamabots will dismiss this as a necessary “protection” against the evil Republicans, but I’m seeing 1984 and Animal Farm rolled up into one.

Gawd, this man is the worst thing that could have come along for the country, yet his fans/minions will hear nothing of it.
