The ‘Process’ President

This is interesting: A good government group is set to ask the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into the two big McCain stories of recent days -- the bundled contributions from Hess executives, and the bundling by Harry Sargeant, the guy who raised cash for McCain from a host of unlikely donors.

The request, which will be made on Monday by Campaign Money Watch, which first flagged the Hess story to us, raises at least the possibility that such a probe could be initiated during the campaign. Barring that, it could keep the stories going in the press a bit.

David Donnelly of Campaign Money Watch confirms to me that they'll make the formal request on Monday, and also is request for a Federal probe in an email that just went out to supporters. Donnelly says that his group's request is being triggered by McCain's letter to the donors whose contributions had been bundled by Sargeant.

Donnelly said that the letter, which advised the donors of the legal ins-and-outs of such contributions, didn't go far enough in trying to determine what had happened.

"What he didn't say was, 'Tell us who was responsible for giving you money to give to me, and we'll urge the authorities to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law," " Donnelly said. "The letter raises the question, 'Is the McCain campaign covering for his bundlers?"
Asked why Sargeant, whose company holds a huge contract to deliver fuel to military bases in Iraq, merited an investigation, Donnelly said: "An executive from a company that has a billion dollar contract to deliver oil to U.S. bases in Iraq possibly violated election law to funnel contributions to McCain. We think that warrants an investigation."

And on the Hess matter, Donnelly said: "An office manager for an oil company that stands to gain millions in profits from offshore drilling makes donations for the first time this cycle to McCain, and did it at the same time nine other Hess donors do. That's worth an investigation."

"Drill here drill there drill everywhere" McCain said:

Extend your oil boring PAIN with your vote for McCain

OK Barry. Looks like you are not taking my advice and coming back from vacation. That won't stop me from giving you more advise. Your campaign is in crisis. If you think you can count on your coronation in Denver to turn things around, forget it. Here are the things you need to do.

1. Stop trying to full people. You are on the political left. Announce it and be proud of it. Look at Reagan. Americans were not anywhere as far to the right as he was and they still voted for him. Why? Because they perceived him as a strong leader secure in his convictions. Don't be afraid to declare that you are on the left. The left has a proud tradition in this country.

2. Show more passion. Where is you anger? Again, think of Reagan. Do you remember when he became angry over the microphone access. A key moment. Americans, thought "This guy can stand up for himself." No think of Kerry with that cadaver face, his party pooper manner.

3. Stop sounding like you are giving a lecture at the University of Chicago (also known as the college where fun goes to die). Make your sentences brief. To the point. Use more imagery. Stop hemming and hawing.

4. Avoid big rallies like the plague. Keep it simple in Denver. People already think you have a big head.

5. Sept 11 sits between the convention and the election. You have to reassure people that you can protect them. This perhaps will be your biggest challenge. You have to clarify your position on Iraq and convince people that you are willing to do whatever it takes to protect them. Then, get the ACLU to pretend to be angry with you over something. That will have the same effect as Jackson getting angry with you. 6. You should continue to talk about personal responsibility. 7. Clarify your values. 8. Don't put Mrs. Obama out there to tell us who you are. You must do this yourself.

Obama is Ouija, not Cerebrial.
He's been to Euprope, you know!

Oh my, it turns out that another" personality" at ObamaWeek thinks that this faker is "just what we need" Is that a surprise..or what?

With all due respect, if Obama should win the Presidency all whites would lose control of the USA. Are you ready for that?

Let's talk about the following which is hardly a 'Reagan Moment' but another 'Obama Moment' filled with 'slam your own country and country men/women.

???America is ???, uh, is no longer, uh ??? what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don???t want that future for my children.???

I'm sure 'We' (You must be referring to the French) like hearing this kind of garbage but I know US'A' do not.

Processors understand process. Not hard to discern who can process. And who can't.

WOW this one really got the"ROVEBOTS" Man,....that must really sting.

Our brains have many many facets to it. Obama is not using alot of his. Lets get him to debate McCain. Hes been invited to it many times. And to many of the conservative radio hosts also. But refuses, because he will have to answer the tuff questions and people will be able to see through him. Without a teleprompter in front of him, he just cannot come out with the answers right on the spot. He stutters, hems haws. Really silly.!

Eleanor Clift confuses a "cool, cerebral style" with a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN - and I am dumbfounded that half of our country is so utterly deceived. If Obama becomes President, America will be in dire trouble.
