This graphic pronouncement came up on Drudge just as Hillary was about to deliver her speech at the Democrat National Convention
Does Barack Obama REALLY think this meeting with Bill Clinton will mean anything? Obama has been trumped by John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin and he is in trouble with working class women. Hence, the meeting, no?
And, Obama characterized Bill as a racist during the primary election season. Plus, Obama REALLY did not help retire the Clinton’s campaign debt.
Hillary and Bill Clinton will do NOTHING for you , Barack - except help you lose.

John McCain supporters wave flags that were allegedly found at the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance address, September 6, 2008
This story cannot be good for the Democrats, especially in the battleground state of Colorado.
Democrats are not caring for their Stars and Stripes. At least that’s the message out of John McCain’s campaign.
McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain campaign rally in Colorado Springs Saturday.
They say the flags were recovered from Invesco Field in Denver after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. A vendor supposedly discovered trash bags full of flags in and nearby dumpsters, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.
The original story coming out of Denver about the discarded flags is here.
Fox News is now reporting that a response from the Democrat Party implies that the flags were stolen or misappropriated by the GOP.
The Obama rally flags which were heading to the garbage?
Stay tuned as this story grows legs.

From Matt Drudge:
TV VIEWERS FOR PALIN, 10 PM ET
- FOXNEWS 9,038,000
- NBC 7,720,000
- CNN 6,114,000
- ABC 5,050,000
- CBS 4,630,000
- MSNBC 3,277,000
37,244,000 watched the Sarah Palin speech last night and Fox News reports that 19.5 million of that number were women.
As a contrast: 38,379,000 folks watched Barack Obama the previous week.
And, Obama was covered on 10 television networks and Sarah Palin ONLY on 6.
The Sarah Palin speech generated 37.2 million viewers, just 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama’s record-breaking speech on Day 4 of the Democratic Convention. The Palin speech was carried on only six networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (including BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo).

Barack Obama: “And so I’m grateful to call him a friend and a colleague. And I’m looking forward to a lengthy collaboration in terms of making sure that Detroit does well in the future.”
News Item: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Resigns in Plea Deal
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice and will step down as the mayor of the nation’s 11th-largest city as part of a deal in a sex-and-misconduct scandal that has plagued the Motor City for months.
Kilpatrick also pleaded no contest to assaulting or obstructing a public officer as part of the plea agreement.
He’ll serve two concurrent 4-month jail sentences and pay the city $1 million over a five-year probationary period.
But, wait. Barack Obama has now changed his tune with regards to the convicted Detroit Mayor.
Late Wednesday, Obama’s camp issued a statement saying that Kilpatrick is hurting the city by staying in office. The campaign made the statement in response to a Free Press inquiry regarding Wednesday’s developments in the text message scandal.
“Sen. Obama believes that Mayor Kilpatrick’s ongoing troubles and the serious charges against him have been a distraction that the city cannot afford,” said Obama spokesman Brent Colburn.
“He believes it is time for the mayor to step aside so that the city can move forward and get back to business.”
Wow! Obama made it just in time for the plea deal. Fancy that.
Another example of poor judgment by Barack Obama. Do Americans really want a Chicago politician as President?

Say what?
In an interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Monday night, Obama was asked about whether his experience in the U.S. Senate dealing with weather-related situations compares to Palin’s executive experience running the state of Alaska and as the small town mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama responded.
Our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the past couple of years and certainly in terms of the legislation I’ve passed in the past couple of years, post-Katrina.”
Here is the video of the Obama interview:
The Team McCain response:
“For Barack Obama to argue that he’s experienced enough to be president because he’s running for president is desperate circular logic and it’s laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama’s inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin’s executive experience managing a budget of over 10 billion dollar dollars, and more than 24,000 employees.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman John McCain 2008
Barack Obama is a “ROOKIE” who cannot help himself. Add the blowhard, slow Joe , plagiarizing Biden and you have two snobs in a pod.

Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin and her family members in a file photo. Clockwise, starting with Governor Palin at center, husband Todd, daughter Bristol, daughter Piper, daughter Willow and son Track
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, her family and authenticity.
“Authenticity is the most important characteristic for someone seeking public office,” said Nick Ayers, executive director of the Republican Governors Association. “Any news that comes out about her is not going to hurt her because it reinforces the point that she is authentically one of us.”
Unlike running mates from both parties, dating back decades, the Palin family isn’t part of the moneyed elite or the governing class. Neither wife nor husband is the scion of a well-connected family. Sarah Palin attended a state school, and her brushes with the law are of the same nettlesome kind that drive recreational fishermen crazy in all 50 states.
“Look at the nature of this: small-town mayor, marrying the high school sweetheart — these are the kinds of things you’d see in a Budweiser commercial as opposed to an Amstel Light commercial,” said South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. “She wasn’t born of political pedigree, and people like that.”
Like Flap said the first time.
The relentless personal attacks from the LEFT on Sarah Palin are appearing to be the same anti-woman attacks experienced by Hillary Clinton. Susan Estrich appearing on Fox News this morning has said these attacks on Palin’s daughter are SEXISM and OFFENSIVE to Women.
Will this hurt Palin with voters, especially women?
Are you kidding me?
Flap bets Obama will try to squelch these ludicrous graphs by the afternoon - if he can.
Update:
Or maybe not.
In an interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Monday night, Obama was asked about whether his experience in the U.S. Senate dealing with weather-related situations compares to Palin’s executive experience running the state of Alaska and as the small town mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Snob Obama raises his ugly head again…..
