    A video called "Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment" is a hit on YouTube, but reportedly has caused the suspension of a middle school teacher in Kansas City, Mo. The video, showing children in military uniforms addressing "President Obama" and chanting his "yes, we can" campaign line, has been viewed more than half a million times.Joyce McGautha, head of the Urban Community Leadership Academy, was quoted by Fox News saying, "People are upset that possibly taxpayer money is being used to support one particular candidate." She said the charter school's board will rule on the teacher's future, according to...

    ELECTION 2008 Farrakhan on Obama: 'The Messiah is absolutely speaking' 'Barack has captured the youth,' will bring about 'universal change' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: October 09, 2008 8:03 pm Eastern © 2008 WorldNetDaily Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the campaign for the White House. He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."

    What Lies Beneath Farrakhan’s “Messiah”? This past week, Louis Farrakhan referred to Barack Hussein Obama as “the Messiah.” I’m going to repeat that. Louis Farrakhan referred to Barack Hussein Obama as “the Messiah.” For those who don’t know, Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam in America. The leader of the Nation of Islam. A muslim. To a cheering crowd of muslims, referring to Barack Hussein Obama as his (and their) “Messiah.” Problem is that Barack Hussein Obama claims to be a “Christian.” A Christian who lives a few blocks away from Big Louie Farrakhan in Chicago, but...

    The Obama campaign has shattered all fund-raising records, raking in $458 million so far, with about half the bounty coming from donors who contribute $200 or less. Aides say that's an illustration of a truly democratic campaign. To critics, though, it can be an invitation for fraud and illegal foreign cash because donors giving individual sums of $200 or less don't have to be publicly reported. Consider the cases of Obama donors "Doodad Pro" of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and "Good Will" of Austin, Texas, who gave more than $11,000—both in excess of the $2,300-per-person federal limit...

    The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight-out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are covering for one candidate for president and consciously are knifing the other. This is no longer journalism; it is simply propaganda. (The American left-wing version of the Volkischer Beobachter cannot be far behind.) And as a result, we are less than seven weeks away from possibly electing a president who has not been thoroughly or even halfway honestly presented to...

    Obama's image, like that of Roman emperors and European monarchs, to appear on commemorative coins It is illegal for the U.S. Mint to produce a coin that bears the image of a living person, and the U.S. Postal Service never puts a living person's picture on its stamps. This taboo probably dates back to the War of Independence, when the Founding Fathers decided that the United States would never exalt an individual, no matter how prominent, in the manner of Roman emperors and European monarchs. This law does not apply, of course, to private mints that produce commemorative (non-legal-tender) coins,...

Now we have commemorative coins with Barry's face on them, in the manner of Roman emperors and European monarchs. It may be noted that, in the United States, the face of a living person is NEVER printed on a postage stamp or a coin. Nonetheless, the Democratic Party not only failed to protest such an action, it actually welcomed it. This underscores our position that the Obama campaign is nothing more than a personality cult, and a dangerous one, that appeals...

The Obama campaign has objected. While its statement says my article was "filled with distortions," the rebuttal actually centers on a technical point: the differences between two Iraqi-US accords under negotiation - the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA, to set rules governing US...

They represent flyover country, the real America that most Americans live in beyond the media and financial center of New York, the political center of Washington, and the mind-numbing popular culture of Hollywood...

    After last night, there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that "He, Who's Middle Name Must Never Be Spoken", is a well rehearsed, finely groomed American superstar. What is the difference between someone like Brittney Spears and BHO? They both came out of nowhere. No one knew anything about them until the train wrecks were in sight. From day one they were told by their handlers what to do or say. How to act, how to respond, all to prefect the desired image. Everything choreographed and timed to make them appear appealing, flawless and charismatic. Make no doubt about...

From the elaborate stagecraft to the teeming crowd of 80,000 cheering partisans, the vagaries of the weather to the unpredictable audience reaction, the optics surrounding the stadium event have heightened worries that the Obama campaign is engaging in a high-risk endeavor in an uncontrollable environment. A common concern: that the stadium appearance plays against Obama’s convention goal of lowering his star wattage and connecting with average Americans and that it gives Republicans a chance...

    1:50 pm MT: From ABC News' Rick Klein, author of The Note: So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches -- Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden. Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft? It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple." Thus a legend -- not the good kind -- was born. Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that...

    Out of the Senate and into . . . the Parthenon? Barack Obama has already invited a new wave of Republican criticism that the White House isn’t big enough for his ego with his plans to accept the Democratic nomination Thursday at Invesco Field at Mile High. The field where the Denver Broncos play and where Obama will address a crowd of more than 70,000 people is now completely covered by a circular seating arrangement. And in the center, where Obama will be standing, is what appears to be a large structure that resembles the ancient Greek temple of...
