Michelle Obama: Will her words come back to haunt her?

June 2nd, 2008 . by TexasFred

Is it true?? I don’t know, I guess we’re going to have to sit back and wait until someone deems it the correct time to release such a tape, but there are a lot of great blogs doing some serious speculation on the possibilities…

I’ve been noticing a lot of buzz in the ’sphere about the release of a video of Obama’s wife, Michelle, ranting about «whitey» at the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.

Supposed to be tomorrow morning, Monday, June 2. Just in time for the Montana and South Dakota primaries.

The Hammond Report

Today, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Barack Obama lost his cool, calling names and making unspecified threats. Why? Ostensibly, it’s because the Tennessee Republican Party issued an Internet video featuring Michelle Obama saying she’s proud of being an American only because her husband is running for president. Well, yes, we all heard that awhile ago.

Obama Freakout Over Michelle Video: The Ticking “Whitey” Time Bomb

Rumors of a mystery tape showing Michelle Obama “Ranting And Raving Against Whitey” in Trinity United Church of Christ are circulating across conservative blogs. Bryan McAffee at RightPundits.com writes:

Well, I debated whether to even post this or not. I’m not usually into rumor or innuendo, but what the hell, lets have some fun. Larry Johnson over at No Quarter has apparently learned (he has 4 sources on this) that a video tape exists of Michelle Obama railing against whitey at Rev. Wright’s church.

GOP Rumor: Michelle Obama “Whitey” Video Lurks

Here’s the news short and sweet–if you have a copy of the Michelle Obama video, in which she is lambasting white people (four different sources say she uses “whitey” as an epithet) at Jeremiah Wright’s church, then there is an ultra conservative Republican billionaire who wants to pay your $1 million dollars for the tape. Why? He hates John McCain.

Who Wants to Be the Next Millionaire?

The Barack Obama magical touch seems to get more and more diminished the more that is discovered about him and his bitter wife.

Michelle Obama “Whitey” Video

Larry Johnson, a former DNC guy, is speculating that there is a MO video being held by the GOP as a special Nomination Gift for Barack Obama. In the video, Michelle Obama allegedly rails against “whitey” at Church with Jerry Wright.

Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” with Reverend Wright?

Now think about this, maybe there really IS a tape of Michelle Obama going nuts on the podium at the church of the infamous Rev. Jeremiah Wright, maybe Hillary KNOWS that this tape exists, maybe that’s the reason she has been so tenacious in her desire to stay in the race for president, knowing that a bombshell like this would blow Obama right out of the water, leaving her as the only viable candidate that the Dems have readily available…

If this tape does exist and is brought to public light, even the most ardent Dem supporters would be running for cover and proclaiming Hillary the chosen one…

I was reading thru a few sites that were talking about this tape and I saw a couple that said they wouldn’t show the thing if it was on YouTube or the like, simply because it would be an unfair attack on Michelle Obama and that wasn’t the right way to do this, that the candidates mate should be off limits, and to that I say, rubbish!! If she opens her mouth, she IS fair game, every word, every sentence, every nuanced look, it’s in the public domain and WE have a right to see it and either comment on it or not…

If it’s out there, lets see it, I’ll post it, as will hundreds and thousands of Republican and Conservative blogs, it’s time to put up or shut up, and if there is a Rove hand in this he needs to come on out into the light and show what he has…

Inquiring minds want to know and the very survival of this nation is at stake…

McClellan whacks Bush, White House - Politico.com

May 28th, 2008 . by TexasFred

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence.

Among the most explosive revelations in the 341-page book, titled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” (Public Affairs, $27.95):

• McClellan charges that Bush relied on “propaganda” to sell the war.

• He says the White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war.

• He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room podium turned out to be “badly misguided.”

• The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them — and McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they had not given him all the facts.

• McClellan asserts that the aides — Karl Rove, the president’s senior adviser, and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff — “had at best misled” him about their role in the disclosure of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity.

Well, it’s about time, not that any of this hasn’t already been speculated upon until it’s worn completely out, and that makes me wonder, is McClellan doing an expose’ or a CMA??

CMA being ‘cover my ass’

He is bound to have had at least some insider knowledge you would think, or maybe not, perhaps he was deliberately kept in the dark, plausible deniability, someone has to be able to speak to the nation and keep a straight face…

He writes, for example, that after Hurricane Katrina, the White House “spent most of the first week in a state of denial,” and he blames Rove for suggesting the photo of the president comfortably observing the disaster during an Air Force One flyover.

Oh c’mon Scott, a state of denial?? More like a state of utter confusion, that’s pretty much been the status quo for the Bush administration and that’s where  Bush has taken the entire GOP…

I really do appreciate McClellan coming out with a book that addresses the faux pas we know as the Bush administration, I hope it’s done in total candor, an honest observation from a real insider, someone that could document the failings of Bush and Company would be a welcome breath of fresh air, but you can bet that the Bush Bots are already lining up to throw rocks at McClellan, how dare he speak ill of The Bush
