Sarah Palin wrapped up her book tour with a worthy smackdown on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. The former Starship Enterprise captain didn't see the shot coming. Gotta love the line about Shatner's encounter with an elephant in his underwear. Priceless.
The putative Caroline Kennedy candidacy for senator has had the odd
effect of reopening the media can of worms treatment of Gov. Palin.
Compared to Sarah Palin's almost immediate immersion into crowds and
public speaking, Kennedy seems like a deer in the headlights before the
media that is either ignored or asked to submit written questions.
Palin was a natural; Kennedy can't finish a single sentence without
"You know" or "I mean." Palin's family saga and daily grind were
populist to the core; Kennedy is a creature of a few blocks' radius in
Manhattan and Martha's Vineyard.
In this weekly YouTube address, President-elect Barack Obama offered a retread of his first four broadcasts, with one notable change. This time out Obama is proposing the creation of 3 million new jobs, up from a previously announced goal of "saving or creating 2.5 million jobs."
Also noteworthy is Obama's claim that 80% of these 3 million new jobs will be in the private sector. As Jake Tapper, ABC News' Senior White House correspondent points out, Obama's stimulus package will translate into the creation of 600,000 new government jobs. We predict once Obama is in officehe'll waffle on those numbers faster than you can say "Obama Waffles."
Illuminati Pictures has produced a new 60-second TV spot (see below) questioning whether Barack Obama meets the constitutional requirements to become the next United States President—an issue widely ignored by the old media. In a related development, this Friday the U.S. Supreme Court will conduct a preliminary hearing regarding the eligibility of president elect Obama under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. If the Supremes find grounds to disqualify Obama, Joe Biden will step up to the top slot. No doubt Biden is privately praying for a miracle.
The centerpiece of this weeks message is President Elect Obama's goal for the creation of 2.5 million jobs by 2011. Obama said, "I have already directed my economic team to come up with an Economic
Recovery Plan that will mean 2.5 million more jobs by January of 2011 a
plan big enough to meet the challenges we face that I intend to sign
soon after taking office."
Obama should take a lesson from President, Bill Clinton, who promised the creation of 100,000 new police jobs. Sure sounded good on paper. One problem. There never were 100,000 new police hitting the streets. We predict Obama will waffle on this promise long before 1/2011.
Yesterday, Senator Barack Obama presented his first weekly address to the nation via YouTube. About three minutes into the prepared statement, Obama pitched the idea of giving "every child a world-class education." That's a tad vague. When Obama says "every child," does he mean every American child? Would the Obama plan include every illegal alien child?
And, when Obama says "world-class education," is he advocating homeschooling? After all, homeschooling produces better students—although we doubt that's what Obama has in mind.
However defined, there's no indication how Sen. Obama plans to pay for his lofty goal—except that we all have to "pitch in." My decoder ring says "pitch in" is code language for "more taxes."
This afternoon Bob and Rush talked for a few moments about the use of political satire under an Obama administration. After relaying our treatment by the women on ABC's The View, and the speed at which we
were branded as racists by the media at large, Rush remarked, "I don't think you should be surprised. This is my point. This kind of stuff is only going to increase. They're going to try to intimidate and shut everybody down that has things like this going on. Satire is not going to be permitted of The One."
El Rushbo did offer one new thought. At the end of the conversation, he suggested, "You should have gone the Mrs. Butterworth's route and done some Michelle Obama syrup." That's an excellent idea.

In case you missed it, last Thursday journalist Charlie Rose and veteran NBC anchorman, Tom Brokaw, admitted neither man knew much about who Barack Obama really is—or what Obama actually believes on key issues. This startling revelation comes after Brokaw spent 18 months covering Obama's run for office.
Yesterday, Aston Grimaldi II posted a letter in which he is offering $150K for the release of a 2003 video tape where Barack Obama appeared at a banquet in which he talked about his personal friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Such footage would be damaging to Obama's run for president considering that at the time of the banquet, the PLO was a U.S.-designated terror organization.
To date, the Los Angeles Times has surpressed the release of the tape.
Pop Quiz: How would the LA Times handle a damaging video tape of John McCain linking him to a terrorist organization if it came into their possession?
They'd use every legal measure to prevent its release, even if that required seeking a court order.
They'd wait until after he was sworn into office and it was too late to do any damage to the candidate.
They'd trip over themselves to get it posted on their website and circulating on YouTube within five minutes of opening the package.
Attorney Philip J. Berg, Esq. is a lifelong Democrat who, on August 21, 2008, filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania seeking the release of Barack Obama's birth certificate. He claims Sen. Obama is not a natural born citizen which makes Obama ineligible for the presidency. Only the birth certificate can settle the issue. To date, Team Obama has stonewalled all requests for such documentation. Berg explains his action against Obama in the following video produced by Illuminati Pictures.
