Democrats Pull George W. Bush Campaign Ad
DNC Television Ad: “Big Choices”Guess the Democratic National Committee forgot the internet has a memory as they pull this morning’s George W. Bush campaign ad.
The Democratic National Committee released an advertisement, posted on the DNC’s “Rapid Response” YouTube Channel, mocking George W. Bush. The ad was laughable, and much derided.
Here is how it appeared in my post earlier today, Extremely Effective DNC Ad:
Alas, there will be a take down notice so enjoy the derision of the Democrats while it lasts.

On the heels of a new poll suggesting that nearly one in five Americans incorrectly believes that President Obama is a Muslim, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical leaders has weighed in with a seemingly lukewarm endorsement of the president's Christian faith.

Well, he was and then he attended church with the renowned Jeremiah GD America Wright.Remember?

Amanda Terkel, one of the lead writers at Think Progress, is exasperated that the "right-wing" has convinced the "media" that Obama's religion is open to question (emphasis mine)…
What we have here really is a failure to communicate. The image-keepers at Think Progress and at the White House do not seem to understand that Obama's failure to connect has nothing to do with bible-thumping on C-SPAN or not.
No one really knows who Obama is, because almost everything we know about Obama prior to his entering public life comes from Obama alone.
Obama has so carefully controlled his image that he has achieved the opposite effect.

Well, since Jeremiah Wright is no longer his Pastor……. -
Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina cited the continuing rise in first-time jobless claims as evidence that the Obama administration's economic policies were not working as she renewed her call Thursday for making the Bush-era tax cuts permanent.
In a campaign event in Riverside, Fiorina also called for slowing the rate of government spending — in part through a federal hiring freeze, although her spokesperson later said the freeze would exempt the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, CIA, FBI and other agencies that collectively account for well over half of the payroll of the executive departments.

Black Republicans tell John Avlon that Sarah Palin's tweet in defense of Dr. Laura was ridiculous and indefensible—and that she may be "no longer fit to lead."
Sarah Palin’s post-VP nominee career has so far benefitted from bomb-throwing. The process follows a tight script—a crude, semi-calculated comment is shot into the middle of a political debate via Facebook or Twitter. It gains national attention. Liberals are outraged. Conservatives rush to her defense. Sarah Palin dominates a news cycle and becomes more beloved by her base.
But by unnecessarily rushing to the defense of Dr. Laura Schlessinger—after she dropped the N-bomb 11 times and told the caller “don’t marry outside of your race”—Sarah Palin might finally have gone too far and picked a fight she cannot win.

Yeah Yeah everyone is a racist.Sheesh

Iranian and Russian nuclear technicians made final preparations to start up Iran's first reactor on Saturday after years of delays, an operation that will mark a milestone in what Tehran considers its right to produce nuclear energy.
Nationwide celebrations are planned for the fuel loading at the Bushehr facility in southern Iran, while Russia pledges to safeguard the plant and prevent spent nuclear fuel from being shifted to a possible weapons program.
"The startup operations will be a big success for Iran," conservative lawmaker Javad Karimi said in Tehran. "It also shows Iran's resolve and capability in pursuing its nuclear activities."

And, the USA watches idly by……

Democrats Channel George W. Bush in Latest Campaign Ad
DNC Television Ad: “Big ChoicesThe Democratic National Committee (DNC) channels President George W. Bush in their latest television ad.
Democrats again used former President George W. Bush as a foe in their latest TV ad campaign, driving home the point Republicans would restore policies that helped create the economic downturn.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) released a new cable ad Friday that harped on their campaign message that the November midterm elections will be a choice between Democratic policies that will bring the country out of the recession versus Republican policies that helped created it.
No Republican is used in the ad aside from Bush — who is shown saying “you can fool me but you can’t get fooled again.”
Looks like an excuse to me from a losing political party.
Update:
The Dems took down the ad later in the day. Go here to see it before the take down notice.

Day By Day August 20, 2010 – Like Totally
Like totally insane in the membrane are New York City Mayor Bloomberg and the rest of the Ground Zero Mosque appeasers.Rudy Giuliani said it best yesterday.
Rudy Giuliani ripped the head of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero on Thursday for “selling sensitivity” but not showing any to still-grieving 9/11 families.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is “creating this vicious, sort of angry battle that’s going on” by insisting on building downtown, the former mayor said on NBC’s “Today” show.
If Rauf is truly serious about healing, Giuliani said, then he wouldn’t push for a project that will cause relatives of the Sept. 11 attack victims “tremendous pain.”
“All you’re doing is creating more division, more anger, more hatred,” he said. “I know some people who are crying over this.”
Giuliani, who was mayor during the 9/11 attacks, has already come out against the proposed center, putting him at odds with Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama – both of whom have said the developer has a right to build the facility on the property.
As far as Obama is concerned – well, he did it to himself. Isn’t he a Muslim anyway?
