MSNBC, CBS News and ABC News are among those dutifully transcribing Barack Obama’s latest attack on John McCain:
“Today, John McCain is having a different kind of meeting. He’s holding a fundraiser with George Bush behind closed doors in Arizona. No cameras. No reporters,” Obama said before a town hall in Las Vegas, “And we all know why. Senator McCain doesn’t want to be seen, hat-in-hand, with the President whose failed policies he promises to continue for another four years. But the question for the American people is: do we want to continue George Bush’s policies?”
Watch the VIDEO HERE.
Senator Obama is spending the day in North Las Vegas talking about the home foreclosure crisis, meeting with a struggling family of Bellagio workers and holding a small town hall to discuss his housing plan. By comparison, which the Obama campaign happily plays up, McCain will be meeting with President Bush at a closed door fundraiser in Arizona.
None mentions that traditionally, fundraisers are closed to the press — including the San Francisco event where Obama told his wealthy donors that the small-town folk in flyover country cling to God and guns because Democrats have not enacted enough socialism yet.
For that matter, none bothers to mention that Obama is himself hip deep in fundraisers connected to the home foreclosure crisis.
Apparently, the weather in Vegas was hot enough today for the MSM to go for a swim in the tank of Obama Kool-Aid.
(Bonus: FNC’s Shepard Smith did just get off a nice one about McCain wanting his Bush and… well, he couldn’t finish.)
“It’s the media!!!”
I thought that was Hillary’s line.
You don’t suppose anyone could trace their foreclosure to money lost at, say, the Bellagio, do you?
I’m not knocking the hardworking people who keep the roulette wheels spinning, mind you; without them, what would become of this incredibly productive aspect of the American economy without them? Some people take risks they shouldn’t, you know, but the blame ought to fall upon predatory lenders.
What exactly is a predatory lender?
Even Obama’s Oprah fundraiser was closed to the press.
I also wonder if Obama will have any joint fundraisers or appearances with either of the living former Democratic presidents. Will Carter or Clinton speak at the convention?
But of course before consoling the struggling Belagio family, he had a look at their TV, their garage, their thermostat and their fridge. “Tsk Tsk, what would Europe think of all these calories?”
I eagerly await the release of the Rezko and Ayers fundraising activity by Obama.
Should I pack a lunch?
Will Carter or Clinton speak at the convention?
I think Carter will be dressed as the Statue of Liberty holding a sign advertising “Buy one pizza get the next one at half-price” outside of the convention.

What exactly is a predatory lender?”
A lender who expects to be paid back.
8: Then why is the term applied to people who loan money to the riskiest borrowers? Just another of those things I will probably never understand.
“Then why is the term applied to people who loan money to the riskiest borrowers?”
You’re talking about Democrat politicians and the “poor” as clients.
I don’t get the difference between buying a house you can’t afford with no money down and renting really. And I’m a pretty savvy guy.
Nice catch, Karl.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. After all, it’s not like the media doesn’t know fundraisers are usually closed to the media.

Here is an excerpt from the latest missive from Barry’s campaign in my inbox this afternoon
Absofuckingamazing.
The phrase turns like this – a stopped clock is right twice a day, you broken clock.
Instead, we rely on more than 1.5 million everyday people like you giving only what they can afford.
And if you are a Getty, you can afford a whole lot!
I don’t get the difference between buying a house you can’t afford with no money down and renting really. And I’m a pretty savvy guy.
When you’re a homeowner and you walk away from your mortgage, you’re a victim of the evil banking industry and if the gov. can bail out Bear Stearns, why can’t they help a brother out?
When you’re a renter and you break a lease, a secret society of landlords will hunt you down and tattoo “DEADBEAT LOSER” on your forehead. The Rent-a-Center people killed a guy.
