The world is momentarily in love with someone other than Obama and all it took was throwing a couple of size 10s at George Bush’s head. That’s right folks the guy that winged his wingtips at the President when he was making a farewell speech in Iraq the other day is not only a hero to lots of folks in the Arab world he even has some people in this country pinning his picture up on their bedroom walls in adoration.

People such as the George Soros funded codepink anti war gang of clueless nitwits. Past history, facts, reality and common sense aside this group of people, who, if they were in charge of this country would simply hand over the keys to Iran tomorrow, decided to hold a little solidarity rally in Washington in honor of Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi for throwing his shoes at our Commander in Chief.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In solidarity with an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George W. Bush at a Baghdad press conference Sunday, peace activists will gather outside the White House with bags of shoes representing Iraqis and U.S. soldiers who have died since the Bush Administration’s illegal invasion of Iraq.

They aim to show support for Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at President Bush while he spoke at the conference on his “surprise” visit to discuss the war. Al-Zaidi is currently being held by Iraqi police and questioned on his actions. The peace activists are calling on the Iraqi government to release al-Zaidi without charges and have set up a fund to support him and his family.”

“It’s outrageous that al-Zaidi could get two years in prison for insulting George Bush, when Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis and 4,200 U.S. troops, and 5 million displaced Iraqis,” says Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK. “The one who should be in jail is George Bush, and he should be charged with war crimes.”

I wonder if this could be the beginning of the end….of her political career? Word has it that she is probably willing to accept an offer from Obama to become the Secretary of State in his administration. Did I just say “his?” Let’s put it this way, it would be like comin’ home for Mrs. and Mr. Clinton if they were to start trolling the halls of the White House again if this indeed does go down considering all of the familiar faces they would be seeing on a daily basis. Yes, I do mean “they”, the Clintons come as a big furry angry package, and Obama is going to find that out in short order if this turns out to be a legitimate situation.

That said, Obama is one shrewd dude and I think there are a few very specific reasons behind his job offer to Mrs. Clinton. She was a potent rival and many in the Democratic party think she was hosed big time in the primary. Just like the presidential contest became rather spirited the Democratic primary had it’s moments with Clinton claiming Obama had absolutely no game other than some rousing speech he gave at the DNC convention back in ‘04. I doubt there is any love lost between the two camps as evidenced by the very tepid support Obama received from the Clintons during the presidential election and the fact that he had never considered Hillary for his veep.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We’ve gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded….”

18 U.S.C. § 1385 Use of Army and Air Force as Posse Comitatus.

“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

10 U.S.C. § 375 Restriction on direct participation by military personnel.

“The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure that any activity (including the provision of any equipment or facility or the assignment or detail of any personnel) under this chapter does not include or permit direct participation by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity unless participation in such activity by such member is otherwise authorized by law.”

Last month the London Times broke the story that Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, was living in the U.S. illegally after a U.S. immigration judge ordered her to leave way back in 2004.

Evidently she has been living in a rundown public housing building in South Boston and is revealed as yet another family member of Obama’s living several levels below his own opulent lifestyle. The Times contacted Onyango at her apartment but she was reluctant to speak much about Obama saying, “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,â€� she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.â€� (emphasis added)

It is amazing how many people have refused to talk about their relationship or divulge any knowledge of Mr. Obama until after the election. Now why would that be? I think many believe the claims that Obama was indeed born in another country and is therefore ineligible to hold the office of president and that is the reason for the tight lips. Give it up folks as there isn’t a chance in hell someone with the ability to do something about this is going to get to the bottom of it.

Someone needs to get to this woman and quick.

“I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. If I help him he’s going to help me.”

Evidently she didn’t get the memo prior to getting all euphoric about the guy that is supposed to take care of her from now on. After this giddy outburst over Obama I’ll bet her *cough* husband is gonna feel a little inadequate.

Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.

The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of “hope” and “change” are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.

One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair.”

The aide said that Obama himself was the first to realize that expectations risked being inflated.

Seems like lots of people have been calling BS on Obama’s promises this entire campaign so here we are a few days out and he finally admits it. I guess George Soros and his hand picked puppetmaster John Podesta figured it was time for Obama to fess up as they think they have the election in the bag anyway. I guess the rest of us will wait until next week to find out for sure.

Barack Obama is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. Liberals do not like guns. Liberals do not want you to have a gun. Liberals and socialist from all over the world like Obama a lot. The well known billionaire and socialist George Soros likes Obama a lot. He likes him so much that he brought one of the architects of Australia’s gun elimination program, Rebecca Peters, who runs the Soros sponsored International Action Network Against Small Arms (IANSA), to the U.S. to prepare for what they hope will be an Obama presidency. Rebecca Peters has been quoted after the successful Australian gun banning effort was complete:
