Sarkozy: Yes, o, Governor Palin. Yes o, Mrs Governor?
Palin: o, this is Sarah, how are you?
S: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
P: Oooooh, it’s so good, its so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.
S: Oh, it’s a pleasure.
P: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you! And thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me.
S: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday (NOTE: Hallyday is a French singer and actor), you know?
P: Yes! Good.
S: You see, I got elected in France because I’m real and you seem to be someone who’s real as well.
P: Yes. Yeah. Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity
S: You know I see you as a president one day, you too.
P: (Giggle) Maybe in eight years! (Giggle)
S: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.
P: Oh, very good! We should go hunting together!
S: Exactly, we could go try hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that. Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoques, aussi. (We could kill all the baby seals).
P: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together, as we’re getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.
S: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun!
Palin: (Giggle)
S: I’d really love to go, so long as we don’t bring Vice President Cheney.
P: Noooo, I’ll be a careful shot, yes.
S: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except that from my house I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you.
P: Well, see, we’re right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.
S: Some people said in the last days - and I thought that was mean - that you weren’t experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that’s completely false. That’s the thing I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada, Stef Carse (NOTE: Stef Carse is a Canadian singer).
P: Well, he’s doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundints (NOTE: she calls pundits pundints) and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.
S: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr Richard Z Sirois (NOTE: hes a Canadian comedian), have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
P: I haven’t seen him at one of the rallies but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as Governor. We have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife. Oh my goodness! You’ve added a lot of energy to your country with that, ha, beautiful family of yours.
S: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.
P: (Giggle) Well, give her a big hug for me.
S: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former hot top model and she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
P: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that!
S: Yes, in French it’s called Le Rouge A Levres Sur Un Cochon (NOTE: it means Lipstick on a Pig), or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber…it’s his life, Joe the Plumber.
P: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plough through that criticism.
S: I just want to be sure. I dont quite understand the phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That’s not your husband, right?
P: That’s not my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.
S: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It’s called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.
P: Right, that’s what it’s all about, its the middle class and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.
S: I must say Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know, Hustler’s Nailin’ Palin?
P: Ohh, good, thank you! Yes.
S: That was really edgy.
P: (Giggle) Well, good.

ABC Obama tells him, “It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too.”
Obama claims that the majority of small businesses make less than $250,000 a year, which is a flat out lie. One of Barack Obamas most potent campaign claims is that he’ll cut taxes for no less than 95% of working families. He’s even promising to cut taxes enough that the governments tax share of GDP will be no more than 18.2% — which is lower than it is today.
Its a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that hes also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%. But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans already pay no income taxes at all? There are several sleights of hand, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of tax cut. For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase tax credit. Barack Obama is proposing to create or expand no fewer than seven such credits for individuals.
If Barack Obamas goal as President is to spread the wealth around, perhaps his unconditional meetings with Hugo Chavez, Raul Castro, and Kim Jong-Il arent so crazy — if nothing else they can advise an Obama administration on economic policy.
Why is Barack Obama being dishonest to the American people? And why does the mainstream media always cover for his lies?
The answer: Because Obama is nothing more than a tax and spend Liberal who wants to turn America into The United Socialist States of America– he’s a Marxist. And the Obama-Media knows he would never win the election if they actually reported the truth.

The most cringe-worthy political moment of the day, so far, came when Sen. John McCain called out for his new buddy Joe the Plumber to stand up at a rally in Ohio, only to be greeted with confused silence. Joe the Plumber wasn’t there.

But that rally featured another embarrassing moment, one that illustrates a far more troubling dynamic for the Republican ticket. The McCain campaign actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the event. As reported by MSNBC:
A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.
This happened — as if a reminder were needed — less than a week out from the election, when the heat of the campaign should be drawing record crowds.

Let’s stop feeling so sad for poor Joe the Plumber, who just wants his teensy little piece of the American dream. In his original comments to Obama, Joe explained that he was about to buy a company that would make profits of about $270,000 a year. If that profit bumps Joe’s own income over $250,000, then he’ll be making more money per year than roughly 95 percent of his fellow Americans. In that case, yeah, as Obama explained to him, Joe won’t be getting that middle-class tax cut.

McCain got it wrong tonight when he said that, under Obama’s health-care plan, Joe the plumber would pay a fine if he didn’t provide his employees health insurance, because the Obama plan has an exemption for small businesses. Given that McCain from practically the first sentence trucked in Joe, last name and all, as his carefully planted and lovingly tended Real Guy, isn’t this the definition of campaign malpractice? How could his staff have possibly failed to get Joe right? McCain was often strong tonight, on guard and on the offensive. But when he registered open-mouthed surprise as Obama explained why he was wrong about Joe, McCain looked like a man playing Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin asking for a life line. Obama had his weak moments, too, in the reaction shots, like the big smile he cracked while McCain was making serious charges about Bill Ayers and ACORN. Watching them listen sometimes seems more enlightening than listening to them talk.

Wurzelbacher’s new notoriety has brought to light the fact that he owes nearly $1,200 in unpaid taxes.
“There is a judgment lien against him for nonpayment of income tax,” Barb Losie, deputy clerk of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, told ABCNews.com. “The state files hundreds of liens a day. It means he owes that money.”
Wurzelbacher conceded today that he is not in danger of being hit with the higher tax rate. He acknowledged that he wants to buy a plumbing company for $250,000 to $280,000. That wouldn’t be how much profit he would make from the firm.
He would make much less, he said.
That would seem to indicate that Wurzelbacher would not be subject to Obama’s proposed tax increase from 36 percent to 39 percent for those making more than $250,000 per family. Instead, he would be eligible for a tax cut that Obama is proposing.

Our political dialogue is so pathetic that the major ‘issue’ McCain is trying gin up in the waning moments of this campaign is what they call the devastating effects of Obama’s tax plan on people and small businesses that make over $250,000 without ever being called on the carpet for not stating how much that tax increase is.
4%–yes, that is it, the tax increase on the top bracket that McCain predicts will cause the sky to fall (further), and what prompts Sarah Palin to draw upon her deep knowledge of history and economics to pronounce it ’socialism’, or, more recently, a nightmarish communism.
Our dearly-beloved news media, always preferring a manufactroversy (i.e., manufactured controversy) to useful dialogue, has fanned the flames of this issue. The news stations call on pundits of the right and left to argue about it, but never mention it is…4%. Joe Biden was even asked by a Florida News Station whether it amounted to Communism! 4%!
So, let us take an example. Suppose Joe does buy out his business, and suppose he works hard, and suppose there are not so many unemployed that business is good. Suppose the business, after expenses, takes in $300,000. What would be Joe’s additional tax burden? About $2000…or less than 1% of his total income after expenses. In a $300,000 business that is almost rounding error. Moreover, if he provides healthcare for his employee(s), Obama will give him a $3000 credit.

“Joe The Plumber” - whom you may recall isn’t really named Joe, and isn’t even a licensed plumber - lashed out the Presidential candidate he once supported, John McCain, in a radio interview with Glenn Beck.
Samuel Wurzelbacher said he was “appalled” at some of McCain’s decisions, and even felt “dirty” on the campaign trail at one point.
