Obama for America Wants You to Report Others to AttackWatch

Barack Obama at Notre Dame in Graduation Robe

The Obama for America campaign wants you to report Web content you consider to be attacks on Barack Obama. If you like living in a society where citizens inform on each other for their controversial thoughts and words, please go to the Obama for America Web site (BarackObama.com) and report all offensive Web content to the Obama 2012 campaign. You can upload videos, upload photos, report URLs, expose thought crimes, etc. You can even report Web sites like Great Blue Abyss if you feel they are critical of Barack Obama. This is your chance to embrace fascism, get down with the police state, and get your neighbors in trouble if they are failing to get in line with Obama's policies and goals.

AttackWatch.com, the companion site to BarackObama.com, is very similar in concept to the controversial flag@whitehouse.gov email address the Obama Administration set up in August of 2009 to encourage citizens to inform on each other by sending reports to the White House of information critical of Barack Obama's socialized medicine plan, now commonly known as ObamaCare. It is also eerily reminiscent of one of the Barack Obama 2008 campaign Web sites, FightTheSmears.com, which encouraged people to forward critical emails to watchdog@barackobama.com.

You can access the report form directly at the "Report an Attack" page on the AttackWatch site.

Do not be misled, BarackObama.com and AttackWatch.com share resources, URLs, and domains. The two sites are practically one and the same. This is now the third time the Barack Obama camp has boldly come forward and specifically encouraged citizens to report on each other for doing nothing more than opposing Obama. If the Internet had been around during the days of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc., they too would have gotten things started with Web sites like AttackWatch.

Why Hillary Clinton Cannot Afford to Let Barack Obama Become President

Senator Hillary Clinton has been sort of campaigning for Senator Barack Obama, but most people can tell her heart is not really in it. In fact, Hillary’s pro-Obama speeches have been little more than previews of her hopeful presidential run in 2012.

The reality is that Hillary Clinton’s presidential dreams have two enemies: Barack Obama and time. Barack Obama has already cost her the 2008 election--an election she was sure she would win. But 2008 is not all Obama has potentially taken from her. Obama may be days away from turning time into Hillary’s adversary.

The worst thing that could possibly happen to Hillary is for Obama to win this election. If Obama loses, Hillary will run in 2012 on the "I Told You So" platform and have a decent chance at winning. If, however, Obama does win, Hillary will have a very hard time challenging an incumbent Democrat President Obama in 2012. She will probably not get to run again until 2016 when Obama is no longer eligible to run. She will then face another major obstacle in 2016. She will probably have to challenge the then incumbent Vice President Biden for the position. For decades, Biden has clearly dreamed of being President, and he will not go quietly. If Vice President Biden can hold her off, Hillary is out of the running until 2020 or later.

Hillary is turning 61 on October 26, 2008. If she has to wait until 2020 to run, she will be 73 years old before Election Day. Hillary probably does not like the idea of possibly having to wait until she is older than John McCain is now to finally run for President. If Hillary did win in 2020, she would be the oldest person to ever become President.

Do not kid yourself. Hillary Clinton has already done the math on this, and you can bet she is unhappy about this cold reality. Do not be surprised if the Clintons are working behind the scenes to keep Obama out of the Oval Office. Hillary simply cannot afford to let Obama win this election. Obama does not need to worry about the Republicans. Hillary and Bill are the ones Obama needs to be watching.

Obama Has Learned Nothing from Jesse Ventura

Are you as stunned as I am that Obama would have the Democratic nomination almost in the bag and then--on a silver platter--hand Hillary such a delicious soundbite about bitter small town Americans clinging to guns and religion? He might have been okay if he had omitted the word "religion," but he just had to say it and alienate 1/2 of Pennsylvania and 3/4 of North Carolina. Either Obama has a fear of success, or he forgot what happened to Jesse Ventura when he called religious believers weak-minded.

Obama has done an abysmal job on damage control during the last couple of days, and Hillary is managing to turn his mistake into a strong (but completely dishonest) campaign message. If this story does not go away in the next few days, Hillary might be able to have a voter surge, gain some extra delegates, stay in the race, and almost guarantee a deadlocked convention. If that happens, the 2008 Democratic Convention is going to be the most exciting political event in a long, long time. This could be the big debacle that splits the party.
