Denying the obvious, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs tells reporters that tricking them into flying to Chicago on June 5th while Obama remained in DC to meet with Hillary "wasn't an attempt to deceive in any way." [Screencap from Morning Joe.]

June 6, 2008 - 18:50 ET by pbanks7On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet."
Others said, "He is the Obamessiah."
Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Chicago? Does not the Scripture say that the Obamessiah will come from Democrat's family and from Bluestate, the town where Dinkins lived?" Thus the people were divided because of Barack.
Some wanted to interview and praise him, but no one laid a hand on him. Finally the temple guards went back to the networks and APharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you suck up to him?"
"No one ever spoke the way this man does," the guards declared.

June 7, 2008 - 11:40 ET by acumenWhy do you question me? "If anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is Obama!' or 'There he is!' don't believe it. False press spokesmen will appear and produce great signs and wonders to mislead, if it were possible, even Obama's own people. Listen, I am warning you. So that if people say to you, 'There he is, in the airplane!' you are not to go out there. If they say, 'Here he is, in Feinstein's house!' don't believe it. For as lightning flashes across from east to west so will the son of Marx coming be. That is the change he offers to everyone.
Look, all I know is before he came my legs were only able to crawl under the weight of our racist oppressors.
Then he spoke and it was as if the heavens opened and all the prophpoliticos that came before appeared to be speaking through him. I asked myself, dare I hope that as a typical white person my legs might even be able to jump?
Then it happened. It was as if the media chosen one was working some great miracle through my TV monitor. My leg started to tingle and I knew he was much more than just another Jeremiah or priest high.
I became faint. Yes, I admit it, I even swooned for him. As I sat there drooling in an ecstacic joy, any remaining scars of the leprosy of rational thought disappeared forever. I realized this was the long-awaited one that would bring justice to us truly bitter ones.
Then the heavens seemed to open and lo, a voice came through my earpiece and said, this is my beloved chosen one, in whom I am well pleased.
And it came to pass he slayed the great hidabeast.

His name is BAAL--he taketh--
June 7, 2008 - 12:08 ET by misterbillHis name is BAAL--he taketh--the rightful place with the worshippers as once held by the lord JFK. Reasoning has no part in the idolatry. Somehow, those who labor under the lash of the landowners and officials imagine a transport to a higher realm, the land of milk and honey. Thus, he comes before us in humility and brings change (I think 3 dimes, two nickels and a quarter). He has yet to define that change. He is surrounded by those who believe that their souls will be cleansed and elevated to Paradise because they can say--"Look Ma--I am unprejudiced. I voted for a non-white." Oh the wonderful times with these self- adoring saprophytes are just ahead. Peaceful talks with Iran--singing Kumbayah, drinking Kool-Aid , no alcohol, teaching the Quran in all schools, wide open borders. Aren't we the loveliest of all peoples who have populated this earth? Next we work on how to eliminate the need for bodily functions and at last we arrive at Nirvana, or Paradise. And just wait until we stop the arms race and denuke America. Why the world will come rushing in. Then and only then will these fools notice that the world is not rushing in to embrace them. They are armed and are taking over the country.
God protect me from the fools that many Americans have become.

June 7, 2008 - 07:52 ET by ThisnThatLie? Deceive? Those are George Bush's tactics, don't you know. We're all for change. We would never lie or deceive. You can expect an Obama administration to be completely open, and we will treat the press as partners, not as adversaries. We trust you, the press; we love the press.
Let me repeat. Lie? Deceive? Those are Geor.....

Anywhoo, since NO ONE in the media is reporting on this, don't you want to know what they were doing?
They were at Bilderberg 2008. Bernanke was there. CondoSleeza Rice was there. Plus about 130 other world elites. Don't worry, they're just setting public policy like $200 oil, war with Iran, continuity of gov't stuff.

June 7, 2008 - 14:21 ET by CrashI'm not doubting the possibility of said names being there. But with all of the internet sources out there one would think that photo's other than a tight shot of a bearded man riding in the back seat of a Town Car would be available. Say a picture SOME or ONE of the names mentioned in the caption. It's also hard to believe that after all these years of conspiratorial straw grasping the probability of someone blabbing or engaging in espionage would not have increase exponentially; without so much as a tape or transcript surfacing.
Don't expect photos, that's the point.
June 7, 2008 - 14:59 ET by sarcasmoRead the announcement blurb: "The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion." The phrase "off the record" is used not once, and not twice, but three times in the announcement. Photos and tapes are records.
And if you doubt whether security is tight, just try approaching the next Bilderburgers meeting yourself. You're unlikely to get close enough for a decent photograph, much less a tape or nonexistent transcript. The blatantly-crappy press coverage is both deliberate by the news media and encouraged by the attendees.

In my profession we have a saying,
June 7, 2008 - 17:19 ET by Crash"If you want to keep a secret file a patent or publish it."
All of this super secret conspiracy nonsense reminds me of the schoolboy who tells his parents that he got bad grades because none of the teachers liked him.
"And if you doubt whether security is tight, just try approaching the next Bilderburgers meeting yourself."
Why would I do that when I could google a satellite image?
How would that get you a pic of the participants?
June 7, 2008 - 17:40 ET by sarcasmoThese hotels look the same with Bilderburgers in 'em as they do the next weekend without Bilderburgers from that distance up in space. You're making no sense here when you try to say this very powerful group is meaningless, when at the same time show that you know absolutely nothing about them by saying this is like a schoolboy saying teachers don't like him. Bzzzzzz! Wrong.
Shockingly enough, those who are already in positions of power occasionally conspire to remain in -- or even increase -- their power. "We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest." -- James Warburg.
