Profile: One Audacious Obamist

Who am I?

An entrepreneur in Minnesota old enough to be cynical, and jaded. I’m old enough that I watched the Watergate hearings live, for hours and hours. I’ve run a small business, but mostly worked for other organizations. I believe in candor and synergy.

I’m also young enough to still cling to a certain idealism, which Barack Obama has inspired to reinvigorated, joyous, exuberant hope. I’m the Obamist. Tom Hayes

  4. oyce Foundation execs have donated around $10,000 to Obama in 2008, by the way.

    This chart explains how Joyce Foundation’s tentacles of gun control are
    found all over academia, police, civil groups, activists and local groups:

  5. Well, John, the execs there have also donated “around $10,000″ to Mike Huckabee, too, according to the link in that post. They spread the money around, obviously, some donated to Giuliani, some to McCain, even. So they’re politically active, but not all of one mind. Is that a problem?

  6. Audacious Obamist,
    Love your site. You are a perfect guy to pass THIS message along if you see fit. As we all now know, (some of us knew a long time ago) the war in Iraq was a complete lie and was “sold” to us through a propaganda campaign designed by Bush and the Pentagon. Oh, and paid for, of course, by us. As many of you also know, there for a few days he was making us nervous with talk about “visiting the World Leaders to rally support in stopping IRAN from having ‘nuclear programs’ “. Of course, thanks to a combination of fortunate events and many bloggers like us who keep real news in the air, his plans to wage another fake war, this time on Iran, were thwarted. Now, suddenly, he wants to have a chat with them instead. With the Free Press coming out with the Pentagon propaganda story,(which was actually reported first in the New York Times, link at the bottom in case you missed it), bloggers like you, and maybe the 35 articles of impeachment that were being read in the house while he was gone, Georgie had to go to plan B. And what would that be? Stay with me. Many of you have probably also noticed how very venomous and uptight and stressed out all the guest republican speakers in the media are, and how fired up they all are ,all of a sudden, to “drill in America”. Since plan A has gone down the tube, now the spin doctors are busy at work convincing America (the dumb ones) that drilling here at home would bring gas prices down. WHAT A HUGE LIE. Let me break it down. America, the entire country, contains 2% (approx) of the worlds oil and coal resources. We USE 25% of the world’s resources. SO IF WE DRILL EVERY DROP WE HAVE, we might save a penny or two on a gallon of gas.. 7 YEARS FROM NOW! Plus, it might last a few years at best. Plus, we create an INCREDIBLE environmental hazard. The Repubs say “we are talking about 50 miles off shore!!!” Are they really so stupid as to think you can DRILL OIL 50 miles off of any shore and not cause issues? Then there is Alaska. Sure. Let’s get out there and put a huge dent in the largest economy there. Deep sea fishing. Let’s spill oil in the pristine waters for a years worth of oil. The Dems have said NO to drilling up our pristine waters for 13 years and never has gas been 4.05 a gallon. (Iraq, 4.05, Iraq, 4.05..duh) Bottom line, Republicans are sweating where the oil money will be coming from in the future. Unless the Repubs devise a new way to spin an excuse to wage war on Iran after all (followed by a short list of other oil bearing countries) they are all looking at loosing a few bucks. Boo-Hoo. Let’s face it..starting with Bush senior on down,(and I’m sure much earlier) Cheney, and friends too, the whole clan stems from a loooong line of oil tycoons. They don’t get it and don’t want to. Alternatives are as silly to Republicans as a black man for President. Thank God there are more and more Democrats. I can not wait to see our Obama clean some SILLY CLOCK!! Thanks for listening. Spread the truth. PS. Personal confession: I would like to marry Keith Olberman. :) PSS, links on the propaganda:

  7. I enjoy your site very much. The malicious hatred of the ultraconservatives, and in particular the religious ultraconservatives is so pathetically unchristian that I would dare them to stand before Jesus and explain themselves. I didn’t get into all the lies and slander in my post because that would have made it a 20 page paper. However, there are numerous far left “Democratic” sites that are just as vicious. American history is replete with political slander. It’s unfortunate that people are able to lie and slander so effortlessly.
