Obama: You Got Your Minions, I Got Mine: Truth Team

Image via Wikipedia

From Denny:  President Obama touts new websites of gathering two million followers to do the work of his political team for free.  


It's the Democrats' answer to the Bush years' juggernaut of crushing the opposition.  But then most politicians and their handlers are men and men like smash mouth sports.  They are also cheap when it comes to being employers for troops on the ground.


Stuffed political war chests


Team Obama brags they have collected over $250 million for their political war chest.  They were aiming for over $1 billion.  You really have to ask yourself one question:  If either political side of the aisle is willing to collect this much money for a campaign then just how crooked are all of them?  America got sold out by both sides a long time ago.

The Minions Campaign

Back to The Minions Campaign... What President Obama is looking for are bloggers willing to debunk the GOP attacks.  Come on; we all know the GOP candidates lie about every issue.  The Republicans know the lies work with the weak minds and easily manipulated hot tempers of their racist electorate.

Nasty Racist Fox News at it again

And, if you are wondering if Republicans really are racist, just go check out the many vile comments directed at the story of Whitney Houston's death over at Fox News.  Shocking - and very cruel - stuff.  Any responsible journalism site would have filtered out those type of comments immediately.  Enough progressive  bloggers complained and took screenshots of the comments section and posted it that it looks like Fox News finally took down the attacks on Houston.

New Obama election websites fend off attacks, tout record

Meanwhile, the 2012 election for president heats up and Team Obama decided to roll out some websites where they can help control the often garbled message voters hear every day.  Apparently, Obama no longer counts on the mainstream press to deliver the truth or debunk the critics.  Of course, a lot of them are constrained by Republican network owners and CEOs with a stake in the election results.

After three years of sucking up to Republican Big Business, Republican Wall Street and the GOP in Congress, maybe Obama has finally accepted the fact that he will never be part of the Big Boys Club?  This Truth Team network may be the first step in addressing that realization.

Prez Gingrich? Why Not And 2nd Wife Tells All 2

From Denny:  Fresh off a primary win from South Carolina it's clear that the conservative block of the Republican Party and the Moral Majority are as amoral as their favorite candidate, Newt Gingrich.  Newt enjoys a mean-spirited reputation among conservatives and they are lapping it up.

Watch Newtie chastise the debate press for daring to speak the truth or ask him about the truth of who he truly is. The bully is hard-charging, defying and terrorizing all in his way.

Vett Newtie?  Are you kidding?  He is bullying the media - and his supporters are screaming for more.  Perversion and cruelty are now celebrated as wonderful, embodied in the person of Newt Gingrich.

Report: Up For Auction, Who Is Buying Up Our State Judges?

From Denny: Author Charles Hall, of the report "Justice At Stake, Interest Groups Dominate Judicial-Election Spending" and Landon Rowland, Chairman Emeritus of the Janus Capital Group discuss America's bought government and the rapid pace to buy up our legal system on the Dylan Ratigan Show.

Our politics are rigged and now our legal system, via state court elections, is getting bought up as well by money interests.  The federal system of judges have to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate but the state and county level is far easier to purchase - with no oversight to detect it or enforce if judges have been compromised.

The danger is that money interests are frantically busy right now buying up state and county judges for influence and arm twisting so they can win in court.  It's the Koch Brothers, and other special interest groups, who figured out that the majority of the law in America is decided on the smaller legal levels and they seek to corrupt that system.

Courtesy of Ralph Nader: Who Will Be Obamas Democratic 2012 Challengers?

From Denny:  Might the 2012 election finally get off the snooze button?  Ralph Nader, for decades the legendary consumer advocate, hopes to liven things up a bit for President Obama.  No one is happy with the GOP offerings and few are enthused about a second term for Obama.

How a primary challenge can help America

Nader's insurgency effort to recruit a pack of liberals to run against Obama should prove to be some exciting politics.  At the very least it will accomplish two things:  one, it could give the Democrats a chance to compare Obama to other possibilities and ensure his standing in the party to get him reelected should he perform well with them.

Two, some hard-charging liberal base competition will push Obama to quit masquerading as a Republican in Democrat's clothing and give a hard push to helping the middle class reinstate their job losses and put this chaotic economy back on track.

Japan: Lying About Nuke Plant Meltdowns, Evacuate Americans

From Denny:  Watching CNN interview Japan's ambassador to the U.S., Ichiro Fujisaki, one thing is clear: the official word from the Japanese government to all their diplomats is to lie and hard sell the official party line. Right now, in the middle of all this devastation, they are lying to President Obama and other world governments.

Japanese deception about nuclear meltdowns 

Mr. Obama, contact your "Lie to Me" guys over at the CIA and get them to run the tapes, pointing out the facial micro-expressions proving the shame, lies and deception on the face of this ambassador.  You have a serious problem here, Mr. President, as nuclear containment is no longer possible.  Take precautions for America now.  Don't wait for the Japanese to tell you yet another lie before you make a decision or act.  It could be too late. This is no time for taking your time to decide or it could backfire on you.
