A call to assassinate President Obama shows up in Local Classfieds.

By Peter from Carrollton, TX - May 31st, 2009 at 7:20 pm EDT

Publisher John Elchert said the ad appeared Thursday in the Warren Times Observer. It read, “May Obama follow in the steps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!” All four presidents were assassinated. Warrent Times Observer issued a statement in the following paper saying that it was an oversight. How can you forget Lincoln and Kennedy assassination. Two of the most famouse assassinations in our history. Really. The FBI is now launching an investigation on the person who put in the ad in the first place. There aren’t any pictures of this but I’m pretty sure you can buy this copy of the newspaper on Ebay, or Craigslist if you really wanted it as a collectors item. I thought it was kinda funny more than shocking to me. The editors should have caught that. Someone dropped the ball.

The Decline and Fall of Ebay...

By James - Dec 7th, 2008 at 1:46 pm EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

Meg is gone and John Donahoe has taken the reigns of this quintessential American company of brilliantly invented and managed commerce. Meg, we are all going to miss you, but Ebay is going to miss you more. Look at what has happened, ever so quietly:

1. "Buy It Now" has taken over. Most auctions are crammed with BuyItNow crap. You have to weed carefully through all the listing to find actual auctions anymore. The BuyItNow auctions are not auctions at all. They are just people (retailers) hawking their ware. And the mess they are creating with all of their entries is destroying the site. And they are never a good deal. Anyone using BuyItNow should simply go to Google and run the item. You will always find a better deal by doing that.

2. Feedback. One used to have a feedback reputation that went back to the initiation of one's Ebay beginning date. Not anymore. Now that experience is only measured for a year, which allows people who have had a history of crummy transactions to hide out in the present from the sins of the past, so as to drag in new suckers. I prized my 268 transactions at 100%. You can still go back all the way if you want to page through tons of previous transaction feedback one by one. Hardly worth the effort, and the time. This did not have to be done and was only done to make dirty records appear clean. There could have been no other reason. Shame on you Donahue.

3. Just how does one get the attention of this multi-billion dollar company for any kind of assistance? Well, you can just forget about it. They make it almost impossible to even find a way to contact them. They do not answer emails anymore, at least not for me and I seldom have ever had a problem. These people are now a one way organization. You get about the same feedback from them as you get from your local filling station attendant, and in about the same language. Nice work Donahoe.

4. Disguise. They are now not allowing you to know the identity of anymore bidding against you while the auction is going on, thereby preventing you from following the identity of your competitors to see if the sellor is setting you up as a straw bidder (bidding on the item using a different identity to drive the price up). Just great, Donahoe.

These changes are the acts of Mr. Donahoe responsibility, and the company's failure will result from these actions. It will not happen quickly. There are simply too many loyal followers who will keep trying to work with the system. Eventually, they will go away, however. You cannot slant the site so heavily towards the sellers without driving off the buyers. And driving off the buyers is what is happening.

Can Obama save us here? I don't think so. He has bigger fish to fry. But Ebay could have been so helpful in being a place to get a better deal while times turn harsher and harsher. Ebay is making sure that they will not be that place, however. I do not know whether Mr. Donahoe is acting out of ignorance or deliberation. It hardly matters, because the result is going to be the slow sinking of this once mighty ship.

Goodbye Meg, God but we miss you.

The Storm Tossed Sea....

By James - Dec 2nd, 2008 at 10:49 am EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

We are battered this way and that by criss-crossing waves of unknown origin and unpredictable vehemence. The stock market rises and then falls, not like in the the old days, where it might go up a percent or less and then down by the same a few days or weeks later. No, these are monumental rises and falls, which set records as the figures writhe and seeth. But we still plunge ever downward. We are up today. Of course, it is only early in this day.

I went to Ebay. It is Christmas. And I do love the commercial aspects of Christmas. I see little support of that ethic out here in the ether or even coming from mainstream media. It would seem that everyone is adopting the principle that it is better to send a card telling family and friends how much they mean to you rather than sending a gift. All, and I mean all, the articles and shows portray this action from the perspective of the sender. I wonder if the senders of such idiotic cards and letters have thought about the total lack of gifts that they are going to receive? I doubt it. After all, they are important and a gift would be appropriate because of their stature in other's lives. And, we do not believe! As a culture, we have been conditioned by our entire systems of communications not to believe. So, what exactly can we hope to gain by sending out cards and letters with statements of our love, appreciation and devotion enclosed? We will not be believed. The cards and letters will go right into the waste basket. We don't even really believe telephone calls. Look how many times video phones have been re-invented and made more financially possible. They would be a reality today, except for one thing. We don't want to be observed by the other party when we are on the phone. We don't even like caller I.D., except for our own phone (so we know who is calling. We would rather not have the other person or entity know when we are doing the calling). That is because we like to lie. We need to lie, upon occasion. And we don't always want to have to look good either. I don't right now, as I write this. I will, a little bit later, when I am ready to go to the office (my coffee shop). But not right now. If you called me right now and I had a video phone I would turn off the video feed part of it, lie and tell you it was broken, and then lie and say I was cleaned up and ready for the day, if you asked me. Go ahead, tell me you would not do that!

I send gifts. I spend money to send gifts to show that I care. In hard goods. I care enough to find the right gift. I work at it. The people who get gifts from me know that I work at it. They may even think me a fool, because I don't get a whole lot of gifts in return. But that is okay. You see, it is not about them. It is about me. I appreciate. I care. I love. Those feelings are not totally dependent upon how the recipients feel towards me. They partially depend upon how I feel that they feel however. They may be fooling me. But that is okay. I am fooled a lot. I like Christmas carols playing, even the silly ones. I like the cards, more because I got one at all rather than what the card might say. I like a real cut tree, just because I have always had one since I was a kid. I like people who wrap their gifts and do it well. I don't do it so well, but I keep trying. I don't like gift certificates and I do not care where they are from. I do not like money gifts. I always think money gifts are given kind of to get rid of the recipient, at least for this year. And, anybody who reads this knows, I like a fire in the fireplace, or in the back yard, or where ever.

So, Merry Christmas. The season is here. I love it.

But I do not love Sarah Palin. She is still doing what I thought she would be doing. She is the Paris Hilton of today. She did not get famous by making a porn movie for You Tube. But she may well end up doing one at some time. Because she will do anything at all to maintain that spotlight upon her. Her dumbness is palpable but honest and direct. She does not make believe that she has a brain. She makes no effort to slow down and, possibly, say anything that has any merit at all. So, I do like that about her. She is a female Forest Gump, although I doubt that her heart has the warmth that the producers of the film put into the 'real' Forest Gump role. She is out there speaking on behalf of this Chambliss fellow. He must be as dumb as she is. Or maybe he is just laughing!

I took some flack for writing that women should not serve in certain political positions abroad. I expected to. Unless you travel out there you don't know. And Americans, by and large, do not travel out there. The cultures of this planet are many and varied. We are the single largest culture ever, for example, that is dedicated to the idea that one man should only have one woman in marriage. We are among the minority of cultures on the planet which feel that way. Think about it. That means that our whole concept of 'marriage because of falling in love' does not apply in most parts of the world! The idea that one woman and one man can have this wonderous and exclusive life-time relationship is primarily a Western concept practiced here and in Europe. And almost nowhere else. And it is a huge planet. In most cultures, the woman, or women, are relegated to functions which serve the male leader of the group. Period. From procreation to chores, from social contact to child-rearing. The male leaders of such groups are not accustomed to paying any attention whatever to women when it comes to the administration of the group (except in those areas wherein she works). Take that onto the larger stage. I did not make these dynamics of behavior. They developed over time and their relative merits are argued to this day at universities across the world. But they are there. We must deal with life as we have it. Yes, we can strive to change things to more fit our paradigm, but we cannot do it quickly. We must ease the world along and 'sell' it on doing things our way. That is why I wrote what I wrote. Sarah Palin has nothing to do with sexuality. She is just an idiot, as are Bill Bennet and George Bush. Hilary is smart. But God, is she on a mission traveling in harm's way. An impossible mission. We could have made things so much easier, with such a better liklihood of accommodating outcome. But I have to also count on Barack. I paid the money. I campaigned. I hoped and prayed. Now he is here. I must wait.

Obama Blue Portrait

By Daniel from Elko, MN - Oct 6th, 2008 at 3:17 am EDT

My most recent miniature oil portrait of Barack, currently available on Ebay. A great way to purchase a very nice and detailed original portrait of Barack at an affordable price.

I'm a published artist and gallery exhibited artist, but perhaps of interest to visitors is that I'm the creator of the formerly Right-Wing conservative Christian Faithmouse cartoon which during the past year has taken a non-partisan tact. A number or my Barack Obama paintings/portraits appear in top results in GIS.

About Faithmouse

I take requests for paintings and cartoons as well; the Faithmouse Megathread on Something Awful is a good place to view some of this recent work.

Anyone is welcome to post the above image to their own blog, sites or forums.

Do we just let her keep Lying?

By Justin - Sep 9th, 2008 at 11:37 pm EDT

Also listed in: Cincinnati Supports Our President!

Many of the republicans are upset about "unfair" coverage about the VP nominee and basing it on sexism and "liberal media." While I agree that that the reporting and rumors of her daughter and children have been out of hand, most of them have been made on internet blogs that have little credibly and can be made by anyone. Its not as if Barack Obama pushed magazines to print the front page "Babies, Lies, and Scandals." In reality he was very classy and said "families are off limits."

But what SHOULD NOT be off limits is pointing out the several false statements that Palin has said and continues to spew in her stump speech. Honesty is not something we can choose to ignore, but rather what every voter DESERVES.

Regardless of views, dishonesty can't be tolerated. Here are her false claims...followed by the truth.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.

-In the current Congress, Barack Obama is the sponsor of 129 pieces of legislation
-Obama has indeed AUTHORED a rumored 152 bills since he's been a senator. here are a few examples
1. Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law,
2. Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law,
3. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
4. 2007 Government Ethics Bill, became law,
5. Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

*I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.

-Actually she was for it first. Saying that, "We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative." She only changed her mind when the federal government said it was wasteful. And even though the bridge wasn't built, she kept the federal funds and used them elsewhere.
-Also when asked “Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?”
Her response: “Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now — while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.”

*And I thought we could muddle through without the governor's personal chef although I've got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her.

-Palin transferred her Chef to the State Legisture's Lounge to cook for the people who actually lived and worked in Juneau (capitol). This isn't cutting government funds, only reassigning. Firing the governor's chef saved no money at all, because thechef was transferred, not fired. An e-mail from thefired chef, Stefani Marnon, to friends and colleagues is quoted assaying "Friday will be my last day at the house, but I will still beemployed with the state."

*That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
-But the plane failed to sell on eBay. Instead, the plane, a 23-year-old 10-seat Westwind II, was sold in August 2007 for $2.1 million to a Valdez, Alaska, entrepreneur — about $300,000 less than a broker’s asking price, according to press accounts.

-True, she only said she put it on eBay not that she sold it there, but she was using it to imply she was saving money for the government. And if she didn't say so directly, McCain did
"You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay -- and made a profit!" McCain declared in Wisconsin at a campaign stop on Friday."

---------------------------------------------------

Now maybe we shouldn't attack her family. And maybe lay off on her religious beliefs (unless it affects public policies). We absolutely shouldn't attack her for being a woman. But what we MUST cover, acknowledge, report, attack, whatever you want to call it: is that this governor from Alaska is lying to us.

And to quote Obama "The American people aren't stupid." Let's prove him right.

Good Info About Palin's "eBay" Plane Sale

By BestAmyEver - Sep 5th, 2008 at 9:36 pm EDT

Palin claim on eBay plane sale doesn't fly

By Jason George and Andrew Zajac |Chicago Tribune correspondents September 5, 2008

JUNEAU, Alaska — When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sought to illustrate her frugality and flair to delegates at the GOP convention Wednesday, she described how she disposed of a corporate jet acquired by her unpopular predecessor.

"That luxury jet was over the top," Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said to loud cheers. "I put it on eBay."

Palin's statement implied the plane was sold through the online auction site revered for empowering millions of small entrepreneurs, and Palin's spokeswoman insisted Thursday that the transaction occurred. But the plane failed to sell on eBay.

Put That Seal On Ebay, I Guess

By ChenZhen - Jun 23rd, 2008 at 7:31 pm EDT

The other day, I was perusing the political interwebs and noticed that there was quite a buzz over Barack Obama's new podium "seal":

My initial reaction, I left at Jimmie's site:

Obama is running for president. The blue seal is an advertising/PR gimmick, playing on the design of the presidential seal. Panties need not be twisted.

Now, today, checking memeorandum again, I see that the reaction isn't quite what the Obama camp had hoped for, so with only one use and around 48hrs later, the plug is pulled on the seal concept. Perhaps those panties got twisted after all.

Cue the "thrown under the bus" line.

Anyway, I figure that, even if the graphic design department of Obama's marketing team swings and misses every once and awhile, there could be a silver lining: Ebay. Collectors just love things that were only used once, controversial, and represent their own milestone in American history, so maybe it'd get a fair price. Donate the proceeds to a worthy cause, and presto!... you've turned a losing idea into a winning one.

'Memories of Barack Obama's Breakfast' by Dan Lacey

By Daniel from Elko, MN - Apr 23rd, 2008 at 7:46 pm EDT

'Memories Of Barack Obama's Breakfast' by Dan Lacey - Ebay Auction

I took a pause yesterday from painting portraits of Barack, a number of which I've posted to this site, to create this interpretation of the recently withdrawn half-eaten breakfast which was recently offered for auction on Ebay. Unlike the withdrawn auction of the pilferred breakfast which was meant to benefit Hillary Clinton's campaign, a portion of the proceeds of this auction will be donated to Obama O8!

This auction has become something of a phenomenon on its own, with over 4000 visitors in a 24 hour period and an article in the Scranton Times, hometown of the Glider Diner where Barack originally tried to finish his breakfast.

One man’s garbage, another man’s online phenomenon - The Times-Tribune

From the article-

"Dan Lacey, the Minnesota author of the Christian cartoon “Faithmouse,” saw the waffle image online and said he was inspired to make the “Memories” painting, which he offers for sale on eBay.

He paints on the side to support his cartoon business and has made other portraits of Mr. Obama.

“I just thought it was a very nice-looking, half-eaten waffle. It caught my artistic eye and immediately engaged me,” Mr. Lacey said.

The Glider Diner waffles became an item of political buzz Monday when a reporter, asking Mr. Obama about President Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas leaders, received the response: “Can I just have my waffles?” The Republican National Committee jumped on the waffle comment and tied it together with other comments to try to show Mr. Obama “continued to dodge questions from the media.”

But Mr. Lacey said the waffle story that spread around the country paints a different side of Mr. Obama.

“I saw the original story about him wanting to eat his waffles and thought, he wasn’t being shallow. That was a real, unguarded moment. It was authentic,” he said."

Your bid helps to support my production of personal, hand-painted portraits of Barack, as well as the Barack Obama campaign itself. As Barack Obama supporter John of Lancashire, United Kingdom recently emailed "I could never afford something like this until you came along. THANKS!"

On Temperament

By Jack West, High School Physics Teacher - Apr 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm EDT

Temperament absolutely matters. In a president we need leadership, composure, and dare I say a paternal (or maternal) disposition that is reassuring and sets an example for the country to emulate. A presidential demeanor has been missing from the White House for seven years. President Bush has the temperament of a Cheshire Cat; disturbingly cool at the wrong times.
All three of our presidential contenders have their flaws. McCain nervously wrung his hands when asked to address the inappropriateness of his companionship with a female lobbyist. Clinton has shown her capacity for pettiness with remarks like, "..Change you can xerox." with regard to Obama's borrowing lines from his Massachussetts colleague for a speech. And Obama has had some distastefully conceited moments like when he said, "..and I've made some pretty good speeches."
Will these blemishes on their armor prevent any of them from answering the call at 3a.m.? Likely not. Most of us tend to rise when duty calls. Will these moments of imperfection prevent them from solving the health care crisis in an equitable fashion? In the case of the democrats - probably not. As for the Republican contender, I am not so sure. Will these character flaws prevent them from bringing the country together? Probably not for McCain and Obama. I am not so sure about Clinton's ability as a uniter given her underhanded campaign tactics. Will these imperfections prevent them from rescuing our planet's oceans from boiling? Probably not. When it gets hot enough the self preservation instinct will kick in.
Would any of the people we respect for their indelible integrity in our respective communities deign to become president of the United States? Probably not. It requires a character flaw to enter the race in the first place. One must think themselves worthy and fight for the right to call themselves top dog. A president is not anointed thus by a community of adoring subjugates. They are all extreme egotists to start with, but does this prevent them from leading our country? Certainly not.
Temperament is important, but the temperament of each of the three presidential contenders is sufficiently presidential to be well, president. And I for one am thankful that someone is willing to do this most difficult job. The voter's decision should be based on the philosophical disposition of the candidates in this race, not the different flavors of temperament they exhibit.

Because when you strip us all down, when you take away our race, our ethnicity, our backgrounds, our sex, when you strip us all down, we are American at our core. We are American in our hopes and our dreams...what we really have is an abiding faith that life can be better for all us...Many colors, religions and languages with one Congress and one President.

And because we only get to choose one, I came out to tell you why that choice

I Took The BarackObama.com Group Less Traveled By, And That Has Made All The Difference

By Kevin - Apr 18th, 2007 at 7:57 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

As you all know there’s many groups on the BarackObama.com site: 5,622 at last count. About two fifths of them are locally oriented (e.g., Baton Rouge for Obama); the other three-fifths have a more national scope, such as America 4 Obama. Some are lighthearted; some are serious; all, of course, are for Barack.

I perused –all- 2,261 current national groups. Take a moment to review some of the gems listed below. Some will make you chuckle, some will make you think - and some you may well want to join! It might also inspire you to start your own group – for example, there are groups for dog and cat lovers, but currently none for other pets, at least as of the moment. One helpful tip to search for groups you like is to check the “Also search group descriptions” box; this will expand your search and often come up with more results.

I’ve joined a few groups as a result of the search: “Bad Bowlers for Barack” and “Mets Fans 4 Obama" (only 2 members?!? Mets fans, where are you all?) There’s 39 members of the “Chicago White Sox Fans for Obama”; the White Sox is Barack’s favorite team. Interestingly, both Yankees and Red Sox fans have yet to create a group (but don’t expect them to run a joint one!)

Here’s a shameless plug: if you were born in 1961 as Barack and I were, please join “People Born in 1961 for Barack Obama”. 1961 is one of the border years between the Baby Boomers and Generation X, and it will be fascinating to join with other people born that year to see what’s on our collective 45/46 year-old minds.

Finally, if you’ve read this far and found this post useful, please feel free add me to your friends network by making a Friend Request! And if you have a group that's, well, unusual, please let me know.

All the best as we work to see Barack take the Inaugural Oath on January 20, 2009!

Barack Obama would be the greatest President

By SiliconValley For Obama - Feb 20th, 2007 at 5:58 pm EST

Also listed in: siliconvalley4obama

Barack Obama would be the best President to lead this country for several reasons.

1. He hasn't been in politics very long and therefore there is far less chance that he has made the associations with big business that other long term politicians have been corrupted by such as John McCain, Juliani, etc..

2. Being an African American, he knows more about social injustice and equality than any white candidate could possibly know.

3. He did NOT vote for the war in Iraq, suspecting that it might be a phoney baloney fraud by the Bush Administration. He was one of the few Senators to be smart enough to figure that out. Hillary Clinton didn't figure it out and fell for the B.A.B. (Bush Administration Bullshit.)

4. Fresh out of Harvard Law School, he went to work for $13,000 per year to help underprivileged people even though he could have gotten a job like John Edwards that paid several million dollars per year. So, we know his heart is with the people.

5. Just listen to him talk. He's mesmerizing.

Voting on the Internet for Obama and other stuff

Also listed in: siliconvalley4obama

In the election of 2008, we will NOT be allowed to Vote on the Internet because there has never been a candidate or an elected official in this great nation of ours who truly supports our great democracy.

Oh sure, they give speeches about the greatness of democracy, but they will not ALLOW their own people to vote on the Internet for ISSUES, due to their great fear that the people will be able to create the rules and policies and laws of society FASTER, MORE EFFICIENTLY and with NO UNDUE INFLUENCE FROM THE LOBBYISTS who now number over 200,000 with offices in Washington attached to the halls of CONGRESS.

BUT, in the candidate of Barack Obama, we have a man who is different. He is Of the People, and For the People, and therefore, he will be convinced to work For the People by using the Internet in its highest and best use, as the tool of democracy.
