Lost amongst all the national and state polling, Rasmussen questioned voters on the Obama Informercial.

The results:

• 45% of US voters watched NONE OF THE AD
• 44% of registered independents watched NONE OF THE AD
• 47% of women watched NONE OF THE AD
• 52% of whites watched NONE OF THE AD
• 48% of registered voters who haven’t voted yet watched NONE OF THE AD
• 49% of voters who said they were “certain to vote” watched NONE OF THE AD

ACORN Staffer testifies

HARRISBURG — A former staffer for an affiliate of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now testified today that the organization was provided a “donor list” from the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in late 2007 for fundraising efforts.

Anita Moncrief, a former Washington, D.C. staffer for Project Vote, which she described as a sister organization of ACORN, said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign. Moncrief said she has a copy of a “development plan” that outlines how Obama contributors who had “maxed out” under federal contribution limits would be targeted to give to Project Vote, and that it was her job to identify such contributors.

Note the lack of denial by the Obama campaign:

“Our campaign has not coordinated with ACORN whatsoever on any voter registration activities,” said Obama spokesman Sean Smith.

If you see, they don’t deny exchanging contributions and coordinating efforts in general, but specifically speak to voter registration activities.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Perhaps this has already been circulated (if so, I apologize) but it is annoying and disturbing all at once. The Japanese have such a way of dealing with American celebrities like That One…

Japanese Pop Group’s Ode to Obama

I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before. Why is it that John McCain can’t seem to catch Barack Obama? Why is it that the character attacks aren’t sticking? Why is it that people continue to profess their willingness to vote for Obama without any regard to anything he does?

I came to the conclusion after speaking with one of my secretaries, who has professed her unconditional allegiance to Barack Obama. How can this be? She’s a pretty smart girl. Then I went to the Walgreens down the street and saw them starting to put up Christmas decorations and I realized, has anyone seen Barack Obama and Kris Kringle in the same room at the same time?

(To preface, I just had to write this; it’s been eating at me since I first heard it mentioned months ago, and it’s particularly relevant as the bailout is being reconsidered. I may also try and have this printed somewhere, because I think it is important. The intention was to pull all partisan politics out of the piece, and to focus solely on the issue itself.)

Barack Obama has said time and time again that bankruptcy judges should be permitted to modify the terms of residential home mortgages. While likely well-intentioned, that policy has not been thought through and, like the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), carries with it a number of side effects that will worsen the current economic problems.
