I hate to say this, but it's over for Obama. The October Surprise has arrived and I am simply speechless. Michelle Obama's racist diatribe is THAT bad. It showed up on the Drudge Report about an hour ago, and has since been taken off for legal issues. The video has started to pop up on YouTube. The Mainstream Media is still trying to verify its authenticity - they are worried about a repeat of the AWOL memo-gate letter of 2004. However, I think it is clearly Michelle Obama who is going off the deep end in this video. Clearly the Mainstream Media will need to report this video in evening news segments. There is no way to keep this covered up beyond today.

I am probably going to get in trouble for sharing this link, both with everybody on here and the YouTube organization, due to it not being authenticated yet by the MSM and also since it is such a highly controversial topic. With that said, I feel it is a patriotic duty to share this video and make sure it is seen by all:

Caution: This shocking video is for adults only and will, no doubt, soon be taken off YouTube

Obama ought to seriously consider giving up today and handing the top spot to Biden. I thought I would never say this, but it's the only hope of victory right now.

This is so bad for Obama that McCain will die his first day in office and we'll have President Palin for eight years!

Not cool.... I'm at work and have no access to youtube or any other video related sites.  I'm sitting here thinking, how are they going to spin this one - it's over.

There is a bullsh**t music video in that link, nothing spectacular to be worried about.

in any case, a video such as this would be release the Thursday or Friday before the election, not a month out.

With the proportion of people voting through advanced polling now, I'm not so sure about that.

The myth of the Whitey tape had its origins in the last days of the Hillary Campaign, when they were grasping at straws in order to keep her in the race as long as possible. Fivethirtyeight did a piece on it: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/07/equal-time.html.

To recap, nobody claims to have actually seen the whitey tape, merely to have talked to people who had seen it. I believe that the age of the secret tape is over, and if such a tape existed it would be all over youtube. Rev. Wright's sermons were posted there months before the media firestorm.

I think if it were out there, we'd have seen it, by this point.

Come on everybody.  Let's post over and over again so that newcomers see a thread with 10 pages and think this is the real thing!

ahahaha! I like that idea.

Here's my post for the effort. Tongue
