Washington, DC - Barack Obama, in order to diffuse the growing controversy of Joe the Plumber, has switched to John the Justice, and is calling upon the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to spread the wealth around the members of the court a little.

Obama's crack election staff has uncovered a tragic disparity in the relative wealth between the justices, manifesting dramatically in how they get to work:

Of the nine top justices of the United States, only one - the Chief Justice -- gets to come to work by limo. The rest, in protest, all telecommute -- all except Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who gets a ride from her girlfriend -- Ruth doing the driving, of course.

McCain/Palin are trying to distort what Obama said in an interview seven years ago. They are spreading the lie that Obama specifically said he regretted that the Supreme Court did not pursue wealth distribution.

And (in reference to my blog post OBAMA: SPREADING HIS REAL ECONOMIC PLANS AROUND) do Republicans really want to present themselves as being AGAINST TAX CUTS BEING SPREAD AROUND AMONG AVERAGE AMERICANS, AGAINST BUSINESS INCENTIVES AND RELIEFS FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, etc.?

What about the 10 Billion of our American tax dollars being wasted EACH MONTH paying for a dumb war in Iraq while that country sits on Billions of its own? I would be in favor of some of THAT WEALTH being spread around here in America, for example. THINK of what we could have done instead for our own country with all those Iraq war years worth of billions, including actually going after bin Laden who surely sits laughing at us over in: Pakistan.

You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth trying to bamboozle your fellow Americans - because too many Americans are too sick and tired of the last 8 years of Bush's anti-working family policies that cater tax cuts instead to the very wealthy. BECAUSE AMERICANS NO LONGER BELIEVE THE FAIRY TALE THAT WEALTH TRICKLES DOWN, IT CLEARLY DOESN'T WORK, ON THE CONTRARY: IT IS THE VERY REASON OUR ECONOMY'S IN THE MESS IT'S IN RIGHT NOW.

A vote for McCain, who intends to extend Bush's tried and failed policies (if he lives long enough - and God save us from a treasonous crackpot Palin Administration - !) is a vote for CONTINUED ECONOMIC DISASTER ESPECIALLY FOR AVERAGE AMERICANS.

FOX and Friends this morning 10/28/08 spent numerous segments and interviews pushing the "Obama = socialism" meme that they hope will be the one that sticks and foil his possible election. To back up the accusation, they've pieced together some out-of-context clips of him using buzzwords and they've dug up some more tenuous-at-best :associations" with which to smear him. This last week is shaping up to be a no-holds-barred smearathon in a desperate attempt to stop the Obama momentum.

Big Story, or as I'll call them BS #1: Obama attended a going away party for a professorial associate who criticized Israel - gasp! This Columbia University professor is "a dangerous guy" who helped coordinate Ahmadinejad's appearance there, and called the creation of Israel a "catastrophe." Obama was in the presence of someone who criticized Israel!!! Well, he hasn't had anything to do with him since that University dinner, but, but, but, he was there! Bill Ayers was there too - pow!

But wait - the Khalidi's kids used to babysit the Obama's kids, and Michelle attended one of their daughter's wedding - they must be connected at a neural level for sure.


BS #2: McCain has taken to calling Obama the Redistributor in Chief - so FOX and Friends will too! Swell!

Peter Johnson Jr. was tapped (as a lawyer) to address likely Obama Supreme Court appointees in light of his "regret" that the Courts didn't, couldn't be the engine for "spreading the wealth," revisiting the fearmongering meme that Obama's SCotUS would dictate redistribution of wealth from the middle-class to the welfare class - this is basically the fear FOX is trying to help spread - unfounded and ridiculous as it sounds to clear-thinking people.

BS #3: Gretchen Carlson read from "an editorial," unsourced, that asserts that Obama will, with the cooperation of a Democratically controlled Congress, shape and direct the Supreme Court to carry out his alleged "redistributive" fantasies. A little Googling revealed it to be the other side of Rupert Murdoch's mouth, the New York Post, which worries about "Barck's Supeme Goal" -- " Barack Obama, radical redistributionist? So it would seem." The FOX echo chamber makes it seem that a wide coalition shares these fears when in reality it's a small cadre echoing one another.


BS #4: Obama gravitated towards "those types" and at one time attended (gasp again!) a Socialist lecture! "Those types" include "more politically active black students, foreign students, Chicanos, Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets." Hmm, sounds like in college he pursued academics and different philosophies, instead of "anything in a skirt" and booze. Republicans have great contempt for intellectual curiosity, it seems - it gets in the way of the indoctrination process.

These were the main tlaking points and memes for the morning - oh, and the guy who put up "Hallloween decorations" of a John McCain likeness on fire in the chimney and Sarah Palin likeness hung from a noose. Of course this is inappropriate and unacceptable to most people, but FOX continues to run the video to imprint viewers with the "hatred" on the left.

They've given up all pretense at fair and balanced and are in full push McCain, tear down barack Obama mode this week. It is not unexpected but as blatant as it is, you'd think there would be some consequences for continuing to present themselves as "news" when all they are is a John McCain campaign outlet, relentlessly attacking Barack Obama 24/7.
