Barack Obumble
Ace of Spades HQ — Barack Obumble "That's what I said." Thanks to Manuel, who I imagine, due to my hateful prejudices, to look and speak exactly like "El Guapo" in Three Amigos. Would I say he sends me a plethora of tips? Oh, yes. Si si. A plethora.

Due to Technical Difficulties, The Wizard of Uhhhs Stumbles Again
JammieWearingFool — Homina, homina... Maybe he's got Franklin Raines on the brain. No wonder he's reduced to bringing the Teleprompter out on the stump. Still can't ad lib when it breaks down, though. Gateway Pundit has more on the tongue-tied community organizer. Labels: Barack Obama

Barack Obama on the Economy: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Blue Star Chronicles — Barack Obama spoke on the economy today and apparently his teleprompter wasn’t working properly, or his ear piece was confusing him. See the video here. Barack Obama on the Economy - Video Barack Obama has an awful time when he has to go off script. He was just doing fine with the huge crowds and the teleprompter. Then people started giving him a hard time and acting like he should get down among the people. That whole getting down and talking to the people thing was NOT going well, until they figured out how to take a mobile ...

More Hope & Change... Obama Collected $105,849 From Freddie & Fannie
Gateway Pundit — That didn't take long... After having served less than 4 years in the US Senate and spending most of that time campaigning, Barack Obama was still able to collect $105,849 from mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. No wonder he took such a liking to Jim Johnson and Frankin Raines.

Former Fannie Mae Chairman Johnson Still Advising Obama
Gateway Pundit — Figures. The former Chairman of failed mortgage giant Fannie Mae is advising the community organizer on economics. Didn't we just go through this? Ben Smith at Politico reported: Former Fannie Mae chairman Jim Johnson was dumped from Obama's vice presidential search team, but he's still playing a behind-the-scenes role on the campaign. Former Senator Tom Daschle, a top Obama backer, emailed a select list this afternoon that he and Johnson would be leading a briefing intended largely for Clinton's ...

Whose Sock Puppet Is Obama?
Classical Values — Whose Sock Puppet Is Obama? A number of people have noted that Obama was looking off to the left a lot in the first debate with McCain. One of them is A. J. Strata and he has a theory. We seem to go round and round again these days on whether candidates have ear pieces (and these days they can be impossible to detect since some can simply be a patch or something near the ear). I think many pols are wired to a back room of puppeteers. What is the evidence? Look at the above video in light of what A. J. has to say: Watch it a couple of times as be pauses after his mangled line. He looks left for a split second, indicating which ear he ...
