Obama's KGB

You Are Now Rich Making $120,000

Hey folks,

What a week this has been. So NOW you are rich if you make $120,000 a year. I told you so. Only $20,000 to go to my prediction of $100,000.

Remember folks, he started off with $250,000. Anyone making less than that, would not see tax increases and would in fact, get a tax cut. Then he changed that to $200,000 in a recent Campaign Commercial. Then Biden changed it to $150,000 a few days later. Now, just this past Friday morning on a Denver Radio Station, KOA, Governor Bill Richardson said this.

"What Obama wants to do is -- is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those."

Pretty soon folks, pretty soon, YOU will be considered "RICH" therefore not worthy of keeping your money. You will have to give it up so that Obama can give it to someone he feels better deserves it.

But this is not what I really want to talk about. What I do want to talk about is this. Komitet Gosudarstvennoĭ Bezopasnosti. Other wise know as the KGB. The state security police (1954-91) of the former USSR with responsibility for external espionage, internal counterintelligence, and internal “crimes against the state.”

Basically, a hit squad to deal with those that opposed the government. Now look at Obama. Obama has REFUSED to go on interview shows that he knows will ask him tough questions. He would NEVER go on a Hannity, or Limbaugh Show, Fox News, or some of the other Cable outlets, unless he can get the questions in advance and or already have the answers prepared. So when he threw off three reporters from his plane, it was really no surprise.

The Washington Times, The New York Post, and Dallas Morning News. All these papers Editorial Sections have endorsed John McCain. They were told they needed to free up the seats for “network bigwigs” and reporters from two black magazines, Essence and Jet. Yeah OK.

Then just before that, the Obama people went after a reporter who dared ask Biden some tough questions. According to this piece from the Orlando Sentinel - Journalism or partisanship: Did Barbara West interview with Joe Biden cross the line?

Nothing Barbara West has done in her 22 years at WFTV-Channel 9 has generated the attention of her interview last week with Sen. Joe Biden, Barack Obama's running mate. The contentious chat has become an Internet sensation -- 1.2 million hits on YouTube over the weekend and more than 500,000 on WFTV.com -- and generated controversy about how journalists question their subjects.

"The thing that stuns me is that this has become about me," said anchor West, 60. She appeared Monday night on The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel and Larry King Live on CNN and plans to be on three more national shows today.

"It's not a good thing. I am not trying to seek the limelight in any way," she said. "I did not do the interview to make headlines, but to get answers that people in the street want to know. When I'm doing fund-raisers, I see vast numbers of people. My questions were reflective of what they're asking about."

In the Biden interview, West quoted Karl Marx and asked, "How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?"

"Are you joking?" said Biden.

"No," West said.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.

"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.

Sentinel readers described the interview as the best or the worst they have seen. "Barbara must be the last honest reporter in America," wrote one.

"West was asking the most idiotic questions I've seen from a professional reporter," countered another.

"I was trying to get to the heart of things, not lob softballs," West said. "We are a hard-breaking news station. Our job is to challenge people and ask probing questions."

Jill Geisler, who teaches ethics and management at the Poynter Institute journalism school, said West has a right to ask any question she wants. "Depending on where you sit, you may say, 'Somebody finally asked the question I had,'. " Geisler said. "Others would say it's loaded language."

Geisler found some of West's language hyperbolic and described the anchor as coming from a point of view similar to talk radio hosts Sean Hannity's or Rush Limbaugh's.

"I can ask you 'Have you stopped beating your wife?' and say it's just a question, but there's an assumption embedded in it," Geisler said. "There was a world view in those questions."

WFTV news director Bob Jordan supported West's approach. "I'd rather be known as aggressive than pulling punches," he said. "We ask questions on behalf of viewers."

West received 10,000 e-mails about the Biden interview -- she estimated they were 9 to 1 positive.

After the Biden interview, West's bio was the next most-requested item, Jordan said. "I've never seen anything like this," he added.

The station posted West's Monday interview with Sen. John McCain on the Web before evening newscasts.

"I think I asked just as tough questions of him," West said.

Obama's campaign was critical of West. "Let's be clear: This station's interview with Joe Biden wasn't tough -- it was just absurd," said Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for the campaign. "Republicans and their allies are looking for any excuse they can find to change the subject because, by their own admission, if they keep talking about the economy, they're 'going to lose.'. "

In a release, McCain's campaign noted: "Senator McCain sat down with Barbara West today, the same reporter that Biden is now criticizing."

Several readers questioned how objective West could be because her husband, Wade West, was a Republican strategist, who contributed $2,250 to Republican candidates from 2000 to 2006. Barbara West said he was no longer a strategist and instead runs America Fundraising Auctions, which stages charity auctions.

"That's his business, his full-time business and his only business," West said.

Asked her political affiliation, West said, "I don't think I should say." Voting registration records show she is a Republican.

So you ask The Messiah or one of his disciples a tough question, and they will attack you and attempt to destroy you. No questions asked. Even if you are one of them. That is pretty bad. The "mavericks" in the Media being disciplined by their own for not following the script. But the thing that bothers me the most about all this is THIS. "Several readers questioned how objective West could be because her husband, Wade West, was a Republican strategist, who contributed $2,250 to Republican candidates from 2000 to 2006."

Yeah, they attacked her HUSBAND. This is not new though either. They attacked Gov. Palin's 17 year old Daughter, and her Husband. PRIVATE CITIZENS that are running for NOTHING. People who should be off limits. Then you have Joe.

Here is a guy playing Football with his kid in HIS back yard. Obama, the MMD and LWL Messiah, comes walking down his street. He asked Obama a question. Obama gave the wrong answer. Then all hell breaks loose for "Joe The Plumber." Ohio Democrats and their accomplices in the Mainstream Media go into attack mode. They use the OFFICIAL STATE GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS to investigate and attempt to destroy a PRIVATE CITIZEN. They are still to this day attempting to smear and discredit a guy who DARED to asked a question.

Is this what we have to look forward to in an Obiden Administration? We already know we have Socialism in the waiting. Do we also have the Obama version of the KGB? The PMB? {Protect the Messiah Bureau}

I agree wholeheartedly with Gov. Palin.

"You shouldn't be working for government. Your government should be working for you and if you share that commitment and if you want to work hard, if you know what hard work feels like and if you want to get ahead, and if you believe that America is the land of possibilities, and you don't want your dreams dashed by the Obama tax plan increases then, Pennsylvania, we're asking for your vote.

Pennsylvania, the far-left wing of the Democrat Party is preparing to take over the entire federal government. Now, with Democrats in control of the House and the Senate, heaven forbid the White House, and this isn't a mainstream policy, mainstream thinking in the Democrat Party. It is far left. Let's not entrust all the powers of the federal government to the one-party rule of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid."

AMEN! Just two days to go folks. YOU can stop this. YOU do have the power. YOU MUST STOP Obama from taking over this country. Two days to go. ARE YOU READY?
