Via B Moe Obamessiah organizes the Permanent Campaign.
Telling millions of campaign supporters that “what you built can’t stop now,” President-elect Barack Obama today took his first public steps toward transforming his massive grass-roots political machinery into an unprecedented national network to help pass his policy agenda.Obama is calling the new network Organizing for America, and while he described it as a tool to press for policies such as fixing the healthcare system, ending the Iraq war and finding new energy sources, he also said the effort would be housed in a distinctly partisan place: the Democratic National Committee. [...]
[S]ources familiar with the planning say the new group will employ a full-time staff of hundreds of professional organizers, possibly numbering an average of between one and two workers per congressional district in certain politically important states. One source said that Obama aides have discussed an annual budget of $75 million — an unprecedented standing political army that will await orders from a president.
The network also has the potential to cause tension within the Democratic Party because Obama is expected to mobilize the organization to target Democratic lawmakers in Republican-leaning districts who might hesitate to vote for his agenda when it comes to imposing limits on carbon gas emissions, for example, or universal healthcare.

Oh, I agree Maggie. I’m not mad at Japan, but my Uncle has a hard time with anything Japanese. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. He had many friends in the 4th Marines.

That’s a Texas sky, feets. I like some of what SoCal has to offer, but Jeez. LA has a lot of people and they all seem to be in a hurry. Same as NY. I love the wide open…
Comment by happyfeet on 1/18 @ 2:05 am #
I know. I don’t have to be here necessarily. I have no excuse for not leaving really but that there’s things and people here I feel responsible for. I really would probably be ahead of the game more in Texas, like maggie says. But I have more better LA skills than Texas skills. There are some ad agencies in Austin and Dallas I might could work with, but that would be a step back in terms of being sort of occupationally narrow. How long can you work at an ad agency and respect yourself I wonder? Most people either quit or start drinking or marry money from what I’ve seen. But Austin and Dallas are changing fast and LA feels stagnant and molding. The whole damn state really is hitting the date what’s marked on the bottom I think. Fail.

But the gist is the people what sort of hang about that show businesswise are every bit as sketch as the characters. I’ve never watched it cause I don’t want to like it, but Other Guy thinks this will be a Good Thing To Do, and really, I need to get over being appalled so easy. It’s just some people, they don’t even try to be nice people. It’s disappointing.

You are a marketing guy. Who do you think they hired for the new marketing campaign? Coke? Are they even trying anymore? What do you think?
Comment by happyfeet on 1/18 @ 2:23 am #
Obama jobs. Jeez. Those pharmaceutical marketing laws Nancy and Harry passed are already throwing tons and tons of drug reps out of work. The media isn’t telling the story. Not only did they circumscribe things to where there’s simply nothing to warrant employing these people, all the stuff these guys did – stocking doctors with samples, tongue depressors, hand sanitizer, and, basically, anything useful to doctors their competition hadn’t thought of … all that’s got to be picked up by the doctors now. Tell me how that lowers health care costs. Dirty socialists are teh suck. Obama jobs. Jeez.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/18 @ 2:29 am #
oh. I went and bought tasty beverages tonight cause I have to stay up all night and cause of our research here this week I was able to avoid anything Pepsi.

oh. The thing what makes my life most challenging is I hardly ever watch commercial tv. So I have to just read or hear about what sort of creative is going on, and you really mostly only read or hear about the successful ones. I might change that in 2010 or so and become a tv watching person for awhile. This year my thing is banishing NPR and catching up with anime and comic books and B movies in which Olivier Gruner may or may not appear.

I have to leave here at like 3 a.m. Monday cause of how the shuttle to LAX works so I need to jigger my sleep schedule. I’ve been oversleeping since I got back from Texas. It might be the zyban I started for when I try quitting smoking in a few weeks. I’m waking up with dreams what I remember. That’s really unusual for me but it’s a side effect they say.

Yes – what I have is generic wellbutrin. It’s a mood stabilizer. That means it might have a lot of effect but if it does you’d never notice. That’s so trippy when you think about it. But it’s nice cause my plan picks it up. It doesn’t pick up chantix. Oh. I just remembered. My doctor in Texas that I went to for quitting smoking, he knew this blog and so I told him who I was. I forgot about that. Now I feel self-conscious. He was a great guy. I can’t imagine ever having a conservative doctor here in California. I can’t imagine ever having an American doctor here in California, really. I should say I apologize that I won’t get back for the followup, if he’s reading. I thought I would be coming back to Texas, but things worked out differently than I thought they would. So I have a doctor here now. I picked a woman cause I’m progressive like that. She’s the first primary care doctor I’ve had since I was at least 16. Just cause I haven’t been sick and I’ve been busy. She’s booked me for a followup in 6 weeks and a physical in like May. Also I’m supposed to go on my own initiative with this piece of paper to a lab for them to do “blood work” and honestly the whole shebang is a little terrifying I think. But whatever. It’s what you’re supposed to do.
I have Promethea burned on a dvd somewheres. #1 – #32 my archive says. I don’t think I ever read them. Mr. X I’ve never heard of. Actually, Vortex Comics I’ve never heard of. Or anything they ever published. They seem really obscure. And Canadian.

This sounds closer to what “Organizing for America” is about. A force outside of the Party structure that is wielded by the Party leader to control both society and the Party itself by overthrowing all “old ideas, cultures, habits, and customs”.
Instead of the “Little Red Book” they will have their Blackberry’s, filled with the wit, wisdom , and daily instructions by “The One”.
Comment by JHoward on 1/18 @ 8:14 am #
The assumption implicit in snot-drinker’s comment at #1 is that all intolerant, collectivist thinking isn’t the same and that to prove that this 2009 hive-mindedness is wholesome and good only requires trust, trust in the loose, ill-defined, sec-progg remnant-Americanism that magically prevents Bad Stuff™ but ironically contains no meaningful regard for individual, constitutional rights, the very rights that O!cialism seems to be on a collision course with.
This time we’ll be saved by sheer goodness and what we’re about to ruin, goes the sec-progg hive mind, those being our rights as Americans.
Having ramped up Nazism by methods similar to what’s now ramping up O!cialism, humanity need only consider this misty-eyed exploration into the collective a success before the fact, and thereby consider dissent of it a ludicrous, even offensive diversionary exercise — this ramping up is simply known to be wholesome and good and that we’re Americans proves it. That Adolf was in his day also a populist effort goes by the boards and no debate then need occur.
How do we know this? We just do. From there, conversations about originalism and the inherent, intended, constitutional nature of this particular constitutional republic — having been to shake off the fundamentals known to destroy individual freedom — can be checked at the door, thank you very much.
Interesting that not only doesn’t the left abide dissent of its emotional, vaguely defined causes (as snot-drinker demonstrates with the perfect fallacy at #1) but that it does so demanding a similar intolerance to whatever as so much as hints at a counter-debate about the individual protections once inherent to American citizenship: talk against O!cialism shall not occur…and originalism; what was that, you impossibly backwards red-state cartoons?
If nothing else, that denial of reason and debate smacks of facism. And whatever jeers and howls might appear against this comment will likely center on the unholy gall to so much as use O!cialism and facism in the same sentence, the intent of doing so disregarded even though spelled out (Darleen’s will be too, regardless): Oh. my. gawd!

Plano Dave and NC,
Sorry I went to bed and missed the conversation.
NC, thank you for your service, sir. My dad (80) lied about his age and went into the Army — paratrooper, 11th Airborne, and would have been in the invasion of the Japan itself if it weren’t for the atom bomb. As it was, he then became part of the occupation Army stationed in Honshu for two years.
I really believe in the volunteer military – but sometimes I would love to see the sniveling leftcultists that diss the military and its mission have to actually spend a couple of years getting first hand experience.

National security is a lot served more better if we have volunteer forces is the idea I think. That just makes sense. But lots of liberals don’t even know people in the military. I’m not talking about Baracky. His church pastor what hates white people was in the Marines. Baracky’s woman on the other hand I don’t know about. She seems like she would disdain people who would volunteer for the military, unless they said shitty things about it later.

@133 – you’re missing some “s’s”, but otherwise, great points. Ludicrous how they dismiss Nazism as a “rightist” movement when you think about the populist orientation of Ernst Roehm & other leaders – especially ones who were in the SA. Also keep in mind how many Nazis transitioned into the postwar East German bureaucracies; as long as they got to keep torturing I suppose it was all the same to them. There was a distinct right in pre-WWII German politics that had little to do with the Nazi movement (although like most of the German political spectrum, it WAS tainted by intense anti-Semitism.)
Anyway, I doubt most leftists know or care about drawing apt parallels – “Nazism” is just another swearword to throw at whoever questions their beloved Majick-Negro.

My paper is full of Hope and Change today. I almost upchucked my eggs. YES YOU CAN. They’re having lots of parties right here in Detroit.
Most disturbing, to me, they’re making these t-shirts and the designer says that the Obama Love shirts are “not very political” because “At this point in time, we’ve hopefully moved past the partisanship and we’re all celbrating the inauguration of a new president.”
Plus, the shirt is very fashionable.
So, in this post-partisian world (except for us cocoon dwellers) all celbrate Baracky and his hope and change. And, let’s spend our way out of this mess, but it’s gonna be a mess for – like- years, says Baracky, so don’t expect any miracles.

“So you’re saying fantasizing about assaults against Jamaican virgins is wrong is how I read that. Sometimes you have to look at these things case by case I think.”
Er – just that some of the commentators around here who are quick to make RAY-CISM accusations seem to have some pretty weird racial fixations. Or at least that’s what the PW archives tell me. You’d almost think that their ranting against “RAY-CISTS” is a way to distract attention from their own … issues.
What’s especially interesting is that said commenter made his remark in response to a POLITE post by someone here telling him to enjoy his Jamaican holiday. I’d sort of understand this sexual ranting if it occurred during a heated debate – but out of the blue? Hmmm…

“I misunderstood I think. I missed the holiday part. Jamaica is homophobic is all I know. I heard that on NPR. I think that’s why Colin Powell is really glad his mom and dad emigrated.”
Sad but true, and I am not one to use terms like “homophobia” lightly. My relatives tell me that the culture’s always been pretty conservative, but this intense gay-bashing is something new. Circa 1960 a sugar cane worker in my family’s hometown was outed. Humiliating for him, but he simply moved to another town five miles away and that was that. A couple years ago, OTOH, two men in the same town were caught having sex; one was hacked to death IIRC and the other had to run for his life. This was around the same time that a Kingston gay rights activist was brutally murdered:

Maybe it’s due to fear/misinformation about AIDS, which would not have been a problem when the older people in my family were growing up…

You may have noticed that the Messiah’s typical strategy when faced with a crisis is to abandon his responsibilities for a more prestigious job before anyone realizes how much he’s botched things up. It worked for the Annenberg Challenge and for his “teaching” career. Now that he’s the Head Neophyte In Charge, it’ll be quite amusing to see him try and pass the buck like he’s accustomed to. In lieu of ditching the office he’ll probably keep throwing subordinates under the bus. GWB made quite a few enemies despite his foolish loyalty to executive staff; the next four years of Jeezus-Man are sure to be popcorn worthy.

In 1970 a good friend, a musician, talked a number of us into going to a small rock club in a nearby very small town of Hastings to see a band. He had bought the 1st and 2nd albums by them. Albums which had not sold well at all.
When we got there we were the only ones in the place and so we sat on the floor at the feet of the lead singer. Later that year when their 3rd album came out they had a hit and became big.
The band was Alice Cooper.

Or when discussing air combat and comparative forces, he’s suddenly all chummy with Russian pilots and flown in a MiG and everything.
Is he still claiming to have been an international trader?

I’ve always wanted to have a village to a all night drum dance while I spear Rush Limbuagh [sic] in a thatched hut, like every deserving White God gets to do.â€Â
I wonder if the average redumblican can spell names of talk-show hosts corectlee?

Mark Foley has a thing for guys who claim to have a thing for Russian chicks. Keep eyes in the backs of yer heads.

You know what is really funny? Hearing Deion Sanders try to say Donovan McNabb.
Comment by thor on 1/18 @ 1:52 pm #
Even funnier is watching Deion Sanders Jr. get run down from behind by white kids in Pop Warner.

And not that it matters to thor, but all Limbaugh said was that McNabb was over-rated. If he makes it to the Super Bowl, the Steelers defense will show that to be true.

Over-rated because he was black!
Put a fat, racist pig on national TV and he’s still a fat, racist pig.

And last year, Tom “oh my God I have the vapors I am so upset by this I can’t even talk” Jackson turned around and said the same fucking thing. Peddle it somewhere else.

Looks like the Steelers might not get a chance, fucking racist Cardinal defense.

He also said that McNabb was over-rated because he’s black and that the sports media was responding to that particular fact. He was probably right about that. Lord knows their “news” colleagueshave over-rated Baracky because of it, while doing their damndest to paper over his foibles.

Who’s for real looking to be overrated is my own Tony Romo. [Sigh.] His mediocrity is beginning to shine through after an early spate of success.
Who’s looking like a potential superstar is the constantly underrated Tim Tebow. He just a football player after all.

McNabb, BTW, is about to lose his 4th NFC Championship game. The one he did win resulted in him losing in the Super Bowl. McNabb is a decent QB, but he ain’t great.

If only that racist Cardinals defense would have stopped driving that black man backwards and into the ground………….

The fact that Keith Olbermann is allowed to work on Sunday Night Football and Rush was “rushed” (haha) off of MNF speaks further volumes about what politics the MSM deems “acceptable” in sportscasting.
Greg Easterbrook can’t write a column without putting his political foot in his mouth every 4th paragraph.

Oh, and back on topic – is anyone else embarrassed to admit they wondered for quite a while whether or not that poster was a parody? My eyesight’s been going recently – guess that’s why I missed the little sig in the corner. Still, that’s saying quite a lot about how bad Jesus-Negro idolatry has become these days…
