Obama: The Cufflink!

October 07, 2008 5:09 PM

Ht_obama_cufflinks_081007_main_2Mysteriously making their way into circulation in Nashville: It's Obama, The Cufflink. Complete with the long-jettisoned "presidential" seal, the "Obama for America" slogan, and even the campaign Website. On the back, the simple words, "The One." A great gift for political junkies who have everything, and don't mind putting affiliations on their sleeves.

A fun bit of mischief-making by somebody -- but still trying to figure out who's behind them. An RNC spokesman says it's not them -- and an Obama campaign official said they are definitely not (surprise!) an official campaign production.

Will update when we get to the bottom of it.

WHY MCCAIN HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC IN THE LAST 2 DAYS.

McCain apparently had a dizzy spell and almost collapsed, but was caught by one of his FBI Security details.

Investigations are on trying to force McCain to release his latest medical records.

McCain has either developed prostate cancer or his skin cancer is back.

If any of this is true McCain has less than 3 years to live. And don't talk to me about his mother because she does not have cancer.

At what ages did McCain's father and grandfather die?

Just think about it for a moment my friends.

McCain will die in office if elected and Sarah Humpty Dumpty Palin will be President.

God Save America.

I saw this video...and I agree with you!

It's sick and pathetic!

Sarah Palin is a scary thought to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

So this is what her agenda is?

She's a part of a cult!

Thanks for the glimpse into this woman's scary life!

SARAH PALIN IS NO PATRIOT!

Obama is beautiful.

Hey alaskapatriot,

Obama is unpatriotic and may do real harm to our country. I wonder why the associates he pals around with are all so unsavory. Line them up: Rev. GD America Wright, Bill Bomb the Pentagon Ayers, Tony Slumlord Rezko-convicted felon. And that guy, Khalid al Mansour, Obama's Harvard benefactor. This guy disparaged white Americans in the most egregious way possible. If these associates are so non-threatening, why does Obama cringe at the very sound of their names. Obama is an imposter!

But it's not the first time ACORN's been under investigation for registration irregularities. The raid is the latest of at least nine investigations into possible fraudulent voter registration forms submitted by ACORN -- the probes have involved ACORN workers in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana and other states.

In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 "went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent," said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League.

Cuff and Link....weren't they Rocky's pet turtles?

Posted by: Bea | Oct 7, 2008 6:12:10 PM

Golly Gee! That's great. I heard he was going to wear them tonight!

I bet those cuff links are the perfect accessory to go with what he is wearing tonight to the debate - his toga, flag pin, bicycle helmet and flip-flops.

I also heard he had his presidential seal brought to the Townhall so he could "look presidential."

No doubt, his supporters will be screaming and fainting at the mere sight of The Tainted One.

Awesome!

PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Great souvenirs to sell on ebay when President McCain takes office.

Steve in N.J. - Where have you been? McCain GAVE A GREAT SPEECH YESTERDAY IN NM, AND OBAMA WAS CRAMMING IN HIS HOTEL ROOM.
McCain's speech should have been covered more by media....he nailed Obama good on facts.
McCain has been in tougher spots than he is now, and gotten out....he's looked death in the eye 3 times and was all but done in the early days of his campaign...the guy is one tough jet fighter and the few points in the polls with 4 weeks to go doesn't worry me. Americans will wake up and see the economy is NOT OBAMA'S EXPERTISE. That would be shadey Chicago thug politics.

Maybe Obama can give a lapel flag pin to McCain along with the cuff-links. In return, McCain can give Obama the new McCain action figure-actually, its just a repackaged Gollum doll from Lord of the Rings. Looks just like McCain, though.

McCain CAN!!!!!!!!!!

Please take the time to read it.
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama's life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he make a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!

Wow you Obama fans have an amazing capacity to ignore the truth! I can't wait until Reznik talks and Obama is indicted on fraud charges!

Posted by: Ralph | Oct 7, 2008 8:06:10 PM

Obama doesn't like the rules of the debate forum he agreed upon when it's not going his way. Grow Up. Is this what we are going to see if he's President? It won't work. He did say he would go into Pakistan and backed off when asked.

Do we really want the most powerful job in the world be occupied by someone who has never held a job for longer than 3 years? His longest time in any one place was at Columbia University where he had to stay for four years to graduate!

Posted by: Cliff | Oct 7, 2008 10:16:50 PM

I am so fed up with McCain saying he knows how to do that whatever the situation or the problem is okay Im glad he knows how to do it but please share your plan with us, the American people.

Posted by: Beverly | Oct 7, 2008 10:50:55 PM

WE NEED A CANIDATE WHO WILL DO AWAY WITH WHITE-COLLAR PRISONS !
WHICH CANIDATE WOULD SEND THESE THIEVES TO A REGULAR PRISON (GENERAL POPULATION) TO SPEND TIME WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUT THEM THERE?

WE CANNOT HAVE A PRES., WHO CANNOT.
