Amanda Carpenter: Late, Late, Late for an Important Date

Obama's New Definition of "Present"
The Jawa Report — October 29, 2008 Obama's New Definition of "Present" Seems The One had a really hard time showing up on time to committee hearings during his vaunted, legendary, monumental, unparalleled 143-day career in the Senate. How many of you could pull this kind of thing off in your place of employment over and over and over and over again? CHANGE (when he gets around to it).

Obama: 'Uh, Um, Uh, I'm Sorry for Being Late'
JammieWearingFool — Busy guy, I guess. Just try apologizing to the federal government when you don't pay your tax increases on time to fund the Obama welfare state. Labels: Barack Obama

Obama’s Consistant “Tardy Slip”
Pat Dollard | Young Americans

"Sorry I'm Tardy"
Ace of Spades HQ — "Sorry I'm Tardy" Obama can't seem to handle his job. Hillary should have titled her commercial 3:27 am, Sorry, I was tardy. Via Drudge, thanks to CI.n.Az and PhilB.

Video: Obama Shows Up Late Again And Again For Senate Committee On Foreign Relations
Say Anything — One almost gets the idea that actually showing up for this kind of stuff isn’t terribly important for him. Oh, and by the way, Obama is also the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe.  A committee Obama has never convened even once since being in the Senate. ...

Remainders: Hide the berry
Ben Smith's Blog —   Obama (and all the other candidates) gets the Cabbage Patch treatment. Sally Ride endorses Obama and Biden, for the sake of future astronauts. McCain's pollster likes the internal tracking numbers. Mitch Daniels will skip another Palin rally. A political and business unknown has given a lot of money to the GOP. Ben's kids hide his blackberry, and other social costs of campaign journalism. Emptying the oppo drawer: Tape of Obama coming late to hearings. Jon Stewart only has two gift bags remaining.  An ...

Obama at 3 A.M.?
Stop The ACLU — Perhaps Hillary should have made an ad called 3:15 A.M., talking about the infamous 3 a.m. phone call that Obama might get around to answering around 3:15 when its too late. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin who has the perfect character to compare to. ...

When the Phone Rings at 3:17-ish AM, Obama Will Answer It. Probably.
The Sundries Shack — When that crisis breaks in the middle of the night and the phone in the White House rings, Barack Obama will be right there to answer it. Well, not right there. But close. So let it ring a few times. And if he doesn’t get it on the sixth ring, try calling back in a few minutes ...

WHY I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN
Dr. Sanity — We have to choose, and, as a wise old Templar once pointed out, there are consequences for choosing poorly.... Senator McCain's remarks in Florida yesterday: (hat tip: The Corner) "Victory must still be secured, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Senator Obama opposed removing the dictator in Iraq, and now obstinately opposes the need to defend the young democracy in that country — even with victory so clearly in sight. He cites as his most courageous moment in public life a speech he gave in 2002 — against a war resolution on which he had no vote, on a matter of national security for which he bore no responsibility. ...

Obama Politics … Like We Didn’t See That Coming
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Fresh face or old-school player? By Dan Morain - LATimes - September 08, 2007 He managed to burnish a reformer’s reputation while swimming in the muddy waters of special-interest- infested state politics. He worked on a nice-guy image while practicing the hardball and brawling tactics of Chicago-style politics. Now, promoting himself as a fresh face on the national political stage, proclaiming his distance from lobbyists and the Washington culture of special interests, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has to contend with his own history. From Chicago to Springfield, his past is ...

Apparently, Barack Obama is sorry, very sorry, really very sorry

The Daily Grind
Weekly Standard Blog — "Giving up being liked is the ultimate public sacrifice." Perhaps something Kathleen Parker should have pondered herself, before the election. Blago had that hair in high school, too! "This marks the lowest level of support for the Democrats in tracking history and is the closest the two parties have been on the generic ballot." Obama administration's P.R. now officially so bad, people can't keep straight faces. "If only for political purposes, I figured, Dems would have to wait a few months or years before sabotaging Bill Clinton's major domestic achievement. It took them two ...
