Barack Obama Assassination Thwarted
Group caught in the operations stage of plot to kill Barack Obama.
This is another reason why the grand acceptance speech at Invesco Field may not have been well thought out... at least not from a practical point of view. It is going to be a security nightmare in terms of logistics, coordination, etc.
The nuts are coming out of the woodwork... and I have a feeling that this is only the beginning. The USSS will have to come up with a different program for protecting Obama and his family. Business as usual is probably not going to be sufficient.
Luckily good old fashioned police work revealed this plot, and hopefully all of the suspects are in custody.
I also hope that the USSS and the FBI have taken the proper countermeasures.

Charlie Rangel to speak at DNC? Hell to the naw!
Amen, Roland Martin.
Roland's headline made me LMAO.
From Roland Martin @ Essence.com:
Tell it, Roland.
THE THOUGHT that ANY of the HHH would be allowed to utter one frigging word at the official convention podium is insane.
IF a Black person is going to speak at that Convention, it will be one that was down with Obama ' Back When'.
PERIOD.
Talk to the hand, Charlie.

Charlie Rangel to speak at DNC? Hell to the naw!
Politico.com is reporting that confidants of Harlem Congressman Charlie Rangel are not happy at all with Sen. Barack Obama after the big-time congressman was told to get in line when he sought a speaking role at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
A major supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, Rangel was angling for a spot, but the Obamites made it clear that there are many more folks ahead of him who desire to speak at the convention.
But at least Rangel might get to speak before Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Stephanie Tubbs-Jones. I hear the Obama camp want nothing to do with the congresswomen from Texas and Ohio. They were such staunch supporters of Clinton that folks, but what really ticked off the Obama folks were some of the comments made by them, namely Tubbs-Jones.
Trust me, Bob Johnson has a better shot of speaking at the convention than she does!
Tell it, Roland.

Just a Reminder: See the Forest
As you watch the MSM, where Senator Obama is being criticized for being an ' elitist' because? He went back home to Hawaii to visit his elderly grandmother (this means you, Cokie Roberts)....
McCain's latest ad is a nanosecond away from 'CALL ME'...
You have Bob Kerrey casting doubt about Obama's electability(don't forget - Kerrey was the one who said Obama was great because Obama was a Muslim and there were a billion Muslims and Obama went to a secular madrassa? And, of course, he ' apologized')..
Russell Feingold praising McSame..
and Wolfson talking about Edwards cost Hillpatine the Iowa Caucus..
I will remind you:
See the Forest.
NONE of this is accidental.
Craig Hickman sees it clearly:
Indeed I will, Brother Craig.
Indeed I will.
See the Forest.

Those Fighting The War Against Barack
THOSE FIGHTING the war against Barack are making their voices louder, all at the same time.
Such a fever pitch.
Their intent is clear.
Barack must be stopped at all costs.
The confluence of recent events on the campaign trail is no coincidence. I don't need to cite any examples. If you're paying attention, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you aren't, then ignorance is bliss.
Those fighting the war against Barack are targeting delegates to the national convention and they're dog whistling to nutcases.
The next five months is going to be a turning point in American history.
That's where we are.
You can say I'm positing a "sky is falling" overreaction, but history provides plenty of evidence that the mood and atmosphere that exists right now is just the kind that precipitates stopping insurgent leaders from claiming power.
Doesn't matter the political system.
The tools of propaganda, at once blatant and insidious, work anywhere.
John McCain is the most dangerous presidential candidate I've witnessed in my lifetime.
Those fighting the war against Barack would make you think Barack deserves that description.
Those fighting the war against Barack are flat-out making stuff up in order to inflame folks.
You better believe this is the most important election in 100 years.
Pray for Barack and his family if you are inclined to do so.
Pray.
Indeed I will, Brother Craig.
Indeed I will.
See the Forest.

Hillpatine's Latest Maneuverings
So, I'm watching Good Morning America, waiting for the Michelle Obama interview, and I'm subject to listening about the latest shenanigans of Camp Hillpatine. The reporter states, ' Even now, Senator Clinton doesn't believe Senator Obama can win.'
To which I replied to the tv, Who gives a rat's ass what Senator Clinton thinks? SHE LOST.
This really is the bottom line.
She had every advantage known to any modern politicial Presidential Candidate, including Dubya...
AND SHE LOST.
She lost to the first term 'nobody' from the middle of the country who only gave ' one good speech'.
So compelling a candidate was she that she lost the nomination to 'that guy'.
That's what her opinion about Obama's chances should mean - SQUAT.
Do you really think that if the situation were reversed, they'd even be commenting about what Obama thinks? No, because they would have run him out of town after the Wisconsin Primary.
The 'Entitlement' Syndrome of Hillpatine and her supporters truly knows no bounds.
There have been so many articles since I saw the first one last night and knew that I wanted to write about this.
It began for me last night catching these two articles:
Clinton still not over it
And Sen. Hillary Clinton Not Ruling Out Having Name Put Up for Vote in Denver
Then, this morning:
Have the Clintons Gotten Over It?
First Thoughts:More Clinton Drama
Chuck Todd asks the million dollar question:
To answer Todd's question, it's a simple sentence: Begins with HELL and ends with NO.
See, our friend craig hickman isn't too far off, is he? He's only been saying this for weeks.
We have from Political Radar: The Note: Obama vs. Clinton: The Battle Continues
I don't care if they're happy. They lost, and this is complete and utter BS. Period. Never have I seen a bunch of folks who don't understand that they got outsmarted, outwitted, outmaneuvered, outorganized. They thought they were ' the shit' and wound up being informed, 'eh, you're not all that much'.
And, of course, your companions in the media are enjoying this. Anything and everything to undermine Obama is ok with them.
Then, we get this: from Politico.com:Clinton, Obama reiterate unity
and Clinton, Obama Seek to Defuse Talk of Contested Floor Vote
I understand the Obama Camp, and why they have to go along with this charade. Doesn't mean that the rest of us who see what's up with the Camp Hillpatine foolishness can't speak up and out.
Let's say it right now: Don't want to hear one more word about her so-called 18 million votes. I also don't believe Obama should raise a frigging PENNY more for her, considering nearly all of that debt was obtained post-WISCONSIN - the night when it became mathematically impossible for her to catch Obama in Pledged Delegates, and thus the only way she could ' win' would be by THIEVERY. So, if she wanted to push forth, then she should do like Romney - EAT THE DEBT. Or, she should make an appeal to those 18 million voters - send her a $1.25 a piece, and she'd be debt free. But, the debt she incurred during the time of it being a lost cause, should never be Barack Obama's concern. Nor the concern of any of his donors, ' little fish' or 'big fish'.
Our calming friend, Al Giordano, over at The Field, has his own take on this: Greek Drama Week Begins.
I'm not nervous about Camp Hillpatine...I'm PISSED. My last Black nerve has been continuously plucked by this bunch of overweening egos who thought they were ENTITLED to the Presidency of the United States.
But, a little thing known as democracy got in their way.
The Democrats can let this foolishness in Denver proceed if they dare. But, it's past time that this crowd was shown the door, told to go somewhere, sit down, and STFU.

Chuck Todd asks the million dollar question:
But we've asked this question a million times and we ask it again: Would the Clintons have been as deferential (or be expected to be as deferential) to Obama if the roles were reversed?

We have from Political Radar: The Note: Obama vs. Clinton: The Battle Continues
ABC News' Rick Klein writes in Thursday's Note: Sen. Barack Obama is set to leave for his much-deserved vacation with one very big loose end that doesn’t want to be tied -- and that’s not counting the veepstakes.
It’s the drama that won’t go away, the storyline that’s too delicious to recede, the symbol of a party’s divisions the very mention of which brings smiles to the faces of editors and producers: Obama vs. Clinton. (Welcome back.)
To former President Bill Clinton’s missing praise (to say nothing of what he is saying), we add this: A steadfast refusal by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to rule out allowing her delegates to vent in the peculiar fashion of voting for her on the convention floor, instead of the candidate she’s campaigning for.
“I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their voices were heard and their views were respected,” Clinton, D-N.Y., told a gathering of supporters last week, ABC News reported Wednesday. “We do not want any Democrat either in the hall or in the stadium or at home walking away saying, well, you know, I’m just not satisfied, I’m not happy.”
“It’s as old as, you know, Greek drama,” Clinton said. (We couldn’t agree more.)
I don't care if they're happy. They lost, and this is complete and utter BS. Period. Never have I seen a bunch of folks who don't understand that they got outsmarted, outwitted, outmaneuvered, outorganized. They thought they were ' the shit' and wound up being informed, 'eh, you're not all that much'.
And, of course, your companions in the media are enjoying this. Anything and everything to undermine Obama is ok with them.
Then, we get this: from Politico.com:Clinton, Obama reiterate unity
and Clinton, Obama Seek to Defuse Talk of Contested Floor Vote
With rumors flying about whether Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will seek to include her name in a roll call vote of delegates at the Democratic convention, the Clinton and Obama campaign teams issued a rare joint statement on Wednesday night confirming that they are "working together" to come up with a suitable solution.
"At the Democratic Convention, we will ensure that the voices of everyone who participated in this historic process are respected and our party will be fully unified heading into the November election," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement on behalf of the two camps.
I understand the Obama Camp, and why they have to go along with this charade. Doesn't mean that the rest of us who see what's up with the Camp Hillpatine foolishness can't speak up and out.
