The "October Surprise" - a lttle early
vanity | November 16, 2008 | Lancey Howard

If the Presidential campaign of 2008 was a football game, the game-changing play came when the alleged "looming meltdown" was announced. The stench of this announcement was so strong that it still staggers the mind that nobody stopped and said, "Wait a minute...! You, Henry Paulson, just discovered today that there is an imminent economic meltdown so catastrophic that Congress needs to pass a $700 billion bailout bill by freaking Monday??"

It made no sense on the face of it, and I figured it had to be a setup. I mean, this horrific news about global economic meltdown breaks just six weeks before a Presidential election?? I was born at night, but not last night. Then when Obama curiously and suddenly took a low profile I knew it was a setup. The Obama team knew what was going on. It was the Democrats' "October surprise", launched a little early and very likely set up by George Soros, who already had God-knows-how-much money invested in this and other campaigns around the nation.

Of course, McCain played right into the scheme by "suspending" his campaign and jumping on his white horse to race back to Washington and take charge and.... Well, who knows what he thought he could do. It doesn't matter, because he ultimately contributed nothing to the process and only made himself look impotent.

All the while, Obama kept his distance as he quietly sat and watched and chuckled. McCain ended up accomplishing basically nothing - - and getting almost no TV face time, to boot! After a day or two of floundering around he finally bailed out (no pun intended) of Washington and made his way back to that debate he wasn't supposed to make... You know - - the debate Obama wouldn't agree to postpone? And Congress did what it did (handed 700 billion taxpayer dollars over to Hank Paulson) without any help from McCain.

Ball game.

The biggest question remaining is: Who orchestrated this election fix, and was George W. Bush in on it? (Yeah, I know - - where's my tin-foil hat. The timing of this was all just an amazing coincidence. Right.)

I say be prepared.

I think this was designed to usher in the one world government and Bush is in favor of that. That would clear up a lot of the mysteries in this situation.

I have asked the same question around here.

I wondered if Bush was duped or was he ushering in Obama.

Yeah but the AIG Bonus's barely cost what the coronation of bHo did! The AIG bonus's where a previously known contractual arrangement, money to Acorn was slipped in to the stimulus the DAY of the vote.

AIG bonus was deliberately left in, and bHo and Geitner knew about the bonus months ago. It was diversion that conveniently slipped out to divert attention away from the budget.

What other surprises will we see? And when?

Hidden in plain sight. Slight of hand type stuff.

I still think that bHo did not know about all of this and was let in when the dems were sure he was getting in to the WH.

Now he is playing it for all he can take advantage of. The dems (like Dodd, Frank, Reid, Pelossi, et-al) are as shocked at how well they are playing him and more so at how well he caught on and is playing him.

Did you notice his reaction of surprise to some of what came out last week? Did you notice Dodd and Franks reaction to some of the hearings and questions by media?

Everyone a little shocked and surprised but played along well.

Where is more to come......
