The Presidential Campaign of The Kool One. Saga Number 29.

“We need fundamental change and that’s why I’m running for president.” [Emphasis added]

The first three definitions of “fundamental” in the American Heritage Dictionary are:

. Of or relating to the foundation or base; elementary.

. Forming or serving as an essential component of a system or structure; central.

. Of great significance or entailing major change.

During a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview The Kool One stated his views of the United States Constitution and that it “reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.”

The Kool One believe the United States, including its Constitution, has fundamental problems and needs fundamental change. The Kool One has been on record, or through his actions;

. Opposed The First Amendment exercise of freedom of speech or press (e.g., Joe the Plumber and the The Kool One campaign’s cancellation of all interviews with WFTV after Joe Biden flubbed the Karl Marx question).

. Opposed the Second Amendment right to keep and bear Arms (e.g., Independent Voters of Illinois/Independent Precinct Organization general candidate questionnaire, Sept. 9, 1996).

. Opposed the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures (e.g., failed to condemn Ohio’s illegal record searches of Joe the Plumber).

The Kool One could use his messianic oration skills to argue these examples are not in opposition to the Bill of Rights. But then again, Joe the Plumber could tell The Kool One his beliefs just don’t seem as patriotic as paying more taxes. Joe could also tell The Kool One most Americans are sort of fond of the Constitution just the way it is and maybe we should not fundamentally change it.

The Presidential Campaign of The Kool One. Saga Number 28.

Like her American hoi polloi, Michelle Obama orders from room service when staying at the Waldorf-Astoria (favored by proletariats the world over). She is a hard working gal and needs nourishment. A little snack of lobster hors d’oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar, and champagne should be enough to get her through another round of America bashing.

The Presidential Campaign of The Kool One. Saga Number 27.

Senator Obama began his campaign to become The Kool One last March. During the nuisance caused by his close association with the most interesting Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Senator Obama easily threw off the pesky inquires with this, “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial.” And he went on to instruct us proletariats that Reverend Wright, “is like an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with.”

Senator Obama continued his campaign to become The Kool One a month later. During the political inconvenience caused by his business venture with the most peaceful Dr. William Ayres, Senator Obama kept his calm demeanor declaring, “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from.”

Senator Obama completed his campaign to become The Kool One last month. During the congressional maneuverings for the Wall Street bailout, Senator Obama remained at the Belleview Biltmore Resort in Clearwater, Florida to prepare for the first presidential debate. He was so cool about the world financial system collapsing he could phone it in, “For two weeks I was on the phone everyday with Secretary Paulson and the congressional leaders making sure that the principles that have been ultimately adopted were incorporated in the bill.”

Cucumbers could learn a thing or two from Senator Obama (oops, The Kool One).

Mr. Head has decided, as the creator of words401.com, to begin giving Senator Obama the additional respect he has earned. Mr. Head fondly recalls Presidential Democrat nominee John Kerry trying to come across as cool by riding a sailboard during the 2004 presidential campaign. Mr. Head, and many others, did not think it worked. (Actually, it was sort of embarrassing.) But this is 2008, and Mr. Head recognizes this year’s Presidential Democrat nominee is the epitome of cool. Thus, from this point one, Senator Obama will be referred to as The Kool One.

The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 26.

The topic of nuclear power was raised during the second presidential debate on Tuesday. Since so many of the European countries Senator Obama is smitten with have a much bigger reliance on nuclear energy then the United States, one would think he would also be smitten with it. This smitteness was displayed during a Meet the Press interview with Tim Russert last May, “I think we do have to look at nuclear, and what we’ve got to figure out is can we store the material properly? Can we make sure that they’re secure? Can we deal with the expense? Because the problem is, is that a lot of our nuclear industry, it reinvents the wheel. Each nuclear power plant that is proposed has a new design, has—it, it has all kinds of changes, there are all sorts of cost overruns. So it has not been an effective option. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be an effective option, but we’re going to have to figure out storage and safety issues. And my attitude when it comes to energy is there’s no silver bullet. We’ve got to be—we’ve, we’ve got to look at every possible option.”

A good answer if you don’t want to be pinned down. Sounds like another Democrat with an Ivy League law degree that became President.

Mr. Head had the good fortune to find what he considers a more appropriate image of our beloved Senator Obama. The foundation of the black and white image is unchanged, but Mr. Head took the liberty to add some color to the image to improve its visual impact. This will now become the official words401.com Obama for President graphic. Enjoy!

The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 25.

At the time of this writing, the following is posted on YouTube (search using obama children sing venice):

“Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, when 22 children, ages 5-12, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing. Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a music teacher, Kathy Sawada, and the children composed and rehearsed the songs in less than two weeks. Several musicians heard of the effort and volunteered to accompany the children. Parents and older siblings designed and provided the T-Shirts and the banner. There’s a first for everything, but rarely do so many firsts come together at once: for the children and their parents, this is their first performance, first video, first banner, and first involvement with grassroots work on a presidential campaign. As Sunday approached, a neighbor volunteered a home. Production wizards got wind of the project and offered their help in recording it. The likes of Jeff Zucker, Holly Schiffer, Peter Rosenfeld, Darin Moran, Jean Martin, Andy Blumenthal, and Nick Phoenix rearranged schedules to participate. Holly Schiffer was able to get three High Definition cameras (Panasonic HVX250’s), and an AVID editing facility. When Jeff Zucker went to pick up the camera package, Ted Schilowitz happened to be there and offered a RED camera set up on a Steadi Cam. What we accomplished in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon embodies the nature of the Obama campaign: its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building. People pitched in quickly for a cause that resonated with them. There were not many conditions: “Think this is a good idea? Want to help? Great. Sunday at 12:00.” At the heart of the project were 22 children and their music. The willingness of all involved to come together for them was a testament to our hope, unity, courage, joy and belief in the future represented by these children. We are offering the video to everyone, the Obama campaign and all media with high hopes that we can all join together to Sing for Change. Technical info: Running time = 3 minutes; Standard Definition and HD Broadcast quality WE’RE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD Music and lyrics by Lily Campbell, age 9 We’re gonna spread happiness We’re gonna spread freedom Obama’s gonna change it Obama’s gonna lead ‘em We’re gonna change it And rearrange it We’re gonna change the world. SING FOR CHANGE Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada Now’s the moment, lift each voice to sing Sing with all your heart! For our children, for our families, Nations all joined as one. Sing for joy and sing abundant peace, Courage, justice, hope! Sing together, hold each precious hand, Lifting each other up; Sing for vision, sing for unity, Lifting our hearts to Sing! YES WE CAN Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada Yes we can Lift each other up In peace, in love, in hope Change! Change! sing…vote http://www.barackobama.com http://www.singforchange.com/” [Emphasis added]

The video itself has been blocked. One comment posted by member BigDumbApe1 on the profile page of member kathysawada, who originally submitting the video, is enlightening:

“Apparently (from what I’ve patched together online) initially the Obama campaign linked to the video officially, but when word of it spread and it left SUCH a foul taste in the mouths of sooooo many people, the Obama people cut off the direct link.

And now given the reaction the video got, apparently the campaign actually requested to have the video pulled ENTIRELY since it was creating just too much of a bad image nightmare for them.”

The video with additional editing is available here.

The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 24.

During the August 16 Saddlebrook Church forum the leader of the Democrat party, Senator Barack Obama, was asked, “At what point does a baby get human rights?” His response was, “I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.”

At a campaign event in Clearwater, Florida this week the leader of the Democrat party made this statement regarding his staying in Florida during the current Wall Street bailout crisis, “I have been in constant contact with leadership in Congress. I’ve talked with Secretary Paulson just about every day. I spoke to him twice today, indicated to him that I intend to do everything that’s required to be helpful.” A little later in the event, the leader of the Democrat Party said, “You know, what I’m going to do is I’m going to — what I’ve told the leadership in Congress is that, if I can be helpful, then I am prepared to be anywhere, anytime.”

This type of leadership must be what Senator Biden meant when he said, “. . . time to jump in, time to be part of the deal. . .”

The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 23.

During his first run for the Illinois Senate Barack Obama campaigned as a voice for the little guy and champion of voter rights. That was a smoke screen. He challenged the signatures on each of his potential Democrat primary rival’s nominating petitions until he eliminated all four of them.

Barack Obama won the Senate seat.

During his first run for the United States Senate Barack Obama’s campaign aided the Chicago Tribune lawsuit to open child custody files from his opponent’s divorce proceedings. The courts ruled they should be opened to the public. The sexual relationship of his opponent and former wife became a scandal.

Barack Obama won the Senate seat.

During his first run for the United States Presidency Barack Obama’s Democrat party threatened to get the IRS tax exempt status suspended of the Jewish Conference of Presidents if a speaking invitation to Governor Palin was not withdrawn.

Barack Obama won the battle. Governor Palin did not get to exercise her freedom of speech.

Who would have thought a black guy would bring back slavery?

Senator Obama is proposing tying federal education funds to mandatory 50 hours per year unpaid community service for all middle school and high school students. If your local school district wants part of the federal pie, all students must work for a goal deemed worthy by the Senator.

If you do not believe this, check out his web site. Not an easy task finding the hidden language, but it is there. Read between the lines.

This is starting to sound like a broken record (see “Stop!”), but when all else fails…

Hurricane Ike is bearing down on the Texas coast.

Senator Obama has indicated he has been anointed by God (see “Doesn’t Get It”). Liberals (of which Senator Obama is card carrying member) believe man controls the climate. Given his otherworldly endowments, why doesn’t Senator Obama go to Galveston, hold up his hand to Ike, and command, “Stop!, I Said Stop!”?

The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 20.

On Tuesday, a local television reporter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin asked Senator Biden about Governor Palin, “Do you think, if she does win, that would be a step forward for women?”

As part of his insightful answer, the articulate Delaware Senator and Democrat vice presidential candidate said, “And that’s obviously a backward step for women.”

His logic seems to go something like this: Democrat women should run the country, Republican women should stay home and make babies and cookies.

Got it.
