The Greg Knapp Experience

I don’t have a problem with her taking Obama’s blanket. I have a problem with her acting like there is no such thing as stealing now that we have a black president. Huh? Is that really what she meant? That sounds pretty racist to me. It’s a good thing Donna Brazil is black and has a D after her name or the media would be hounding her for that statement. The most offensive part of this for me is when Donna Brazil says we have an American president. She seems to be implying that this is a new thing. Hey, Donna, all 44 presidents have been American, whether you liked them or not.

“Artist Jim Lennox, his wife Hillary Ross, and 13 other artists really, really like Barack Obama. They painted a 100-foot poster in a field near Shickshinny, Pa.”

Note the Obama logo pin on the suit coat instead of an American flag pin. This is the kind of stuff they used to do for Lenin and Stalin. This scares me.

People who look to a politician to save them don’t understand what America is about. Government is NOT supposed to be the answer to your problems. Government is simply a necessary evil that we need to keep as limited as possible. If it is allowed to grow it will take your work, your money, your property and your freedom.

This is great to see and we need more of this…

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Even as the U.S. confronts two long wars, neither Sen. John McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama believes the country should take the politically perilous step of reviving the military draft.

But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft: Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn’t think women should have to register.

Also, Mr. Obama would consider officially opening combat positions to women. Mr. McCain would not.

Seems to me Obama did not bring Ayers up on Tuesday as well…

I love Michael Ramirez of IBD. He nails it again on the company Obama keeps and how he has to keep distancing himself from his old friends.

Former NBC anchorman (and interim Meet the Press host) Tom Brokaw is tonight’s presidential debate moderator, in the “town hall” format. Moderators usually choose a slate of “uncommitted voters” who ask mostly liberal questions. Charlie Gibson broke that mold in 2004 – and he’s the only one of the four 2004 moderators who didn’t get a repeat invitation. If anyone wonders if Brokaw is part of the liberal media, see our Greatest Tilts 1983-2003. Since Brokaw retired from the anchor desk after the 2004 election, here are more recent liberal utterances:

Obama Christ: “Senator Obama, who had an Ivy league education and could’ve gone to Wall Street, went back to Chicago, on the South Side. As you know, his supporters have defended him for working with poor families, many of whom lost their jobs when the Gary steel mills closed. In that mocking fashion, it seemed to a lot of people that you were belittling the role of a community organizer, and it led to this button — it was addressed to Senator Palin, because she also talked about it — ‘Jesus Christ was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.’ In retrospect, do you think you had too much sport with his role as community organizer, Mr. Mayor?” – Brokaw to Rudy Giuliani after the Republican convention on Meet the Press, September 14, 2008.Run, Gore, Run! “How can you, given the passion that you feel about this issue and the enormity of the dimensions that we’re dealing with here, turn down the idea that you could be in the administration as a Vice President or as an energy czar or as both?…There is no power like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for setting the agenda, for drawing attention to it, for moving the country, and for moving Congress. Mr. Vice President, no one knows that better than you do.”
— NBC’s Tom Brokaw to Al Gore, July 20, 2008 Meet the Press.

It’s about time.

“Whatever the question, whatever the issues, there’s always a back story with Senator Obama . . . Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. The crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them.

“Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread,” McCain said during an event in Albuquerque, NM.

“This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.”

McCain said he raised the alarm and called for tighter borrowing rules on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, which could have helped stem the crisis.

By comparison, he said, Obama was “silent” while congressional Democrats fought efforts to rein in the mortgage giants.

“As recently as September of last year, [Obama] said that subprime loans had been, quote, ‘a good idea.’ Well, Senator Obama, that ‘good idea’ has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression,” McCain said.

McCain needs to hit this hard at the debate tonight. This is more important to the American people than Obama’s connections to a domestic terrorist or a racist, anti-American preacher. All of those things are important, but the economy dominates everything right now. In addition to those attacks, McCain must give a bold agenda tonight. By bold, I don’t mean spending a lot of money. I mean big changes that can get people excited. Things like totally reforming the tax code, giving a payroll tax cut to the middle class, suspending capital gains taxes for two years to bring new capital into America. Be bold, John.

Biden is caught in another one. This time from the Washington Post.

During last week’s debate with his counterpart on the Republican ticket, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Biden twice gave himself credit for shifting U.S. policy on Bosnia. The senator from Delaware declared that he “was the catalyst to change the circumstance in Bosnia led by President Clinton.” At another point he noted: “My recommendations on Bosnia — I admit I was the first one to recommend it. They saved tens of thousands of lives.”

But, despite the bravado, Biden was not a key player in the legislation that ultimately forced Bill Clinton to lift an arms embargo imposed by the United Nations on Bosnian Muslims fighting the Serbs, according to congressional officials involved in the issue and a review of Biden’s speeches and voting record.

When you add in all the other lies and misstatements of facts by Biden during the debate, it makes you wonder if Obama is going to make the switch to Hillary soon. If Palin had made these mistakes, the mainstream media would be going nuts!

Usually the CNN truth squad leans so far to the left there isn’t much truth there. I saw CNN say the audio of Obama saying our troops in Afghanistan are “just airaiding villages and killing civilians,” is somehow untrue because Obama said it a year ago and has since praised the truth. Wow. But this time, they’re almost fair and balanced.
