vote obama and fix the broken foundations of the U.S.

If it's still possible to think clearly about His Holiness, the Dalai Obama, then perhaps its time to take his election a little more seriously. He wants to address the problems handed down to us all when the founding fathers wrote the flawed constitution. Obama believes it too negative (says what the government can't do) and falls short in the, i guess, positive as he sees it (what the government should do for you). Hopefully people who are fans of the founding fathers and believe that they knew what they were doing will think Obama's words a little troubling. Here's a clip from a recently unearthed interview with Barry on Chicago public radio in 2001.



I think Obama should be running in North Korea, Russia or Cuba or someplace else, where the government actually does take upon itself the duty of providing everything for people, distributing wealth, and having a much more intrusive role in our everyday lives.

If you believe that people shouldn't control how to use their own money, that hard work and success doesn't allow you to lift yourself above others who don't exert the same effort, and that the government should have far more power in your life, than please vote Barry.

It is scary the way Obama hides his intentions to completely alter the country and our freedom by saying generic garbage like "change". We hung out with friends over the weekend, there was another couple there we didn't know and they all had fun talking about how dumb Palin is and how great SNL is for making a fool of her, how great Obama is, how they'll move if he's not elected, blah, blah, blah. Typical young liberal person recently graduated from college stuff. And why doesn't she like McCain? "Oh like, I just can't take another old geezer who's like 'yeah, more war' and stuff." Wow, she sounded smart. She almost convinced me.

It is scary that the Obama crowd attacks people who question him or ask him a hard question. See what happened to Joe the plumber: we now know more about him in a matter of a week or 2 because he asked Obama a question, than we know about Obama. Biden is asked a question about Obama's socialist tendencies and he throws a tantrum and the Obama people cut that news channel off for the rest of the campaign. You question or don't agree with him, you get in trouble. is that scary to anyone else? and he's not even president yet. imagine what it will be like when he is, with an unstoppable congress behind him.



Obama will be change indeed. Anyone else concerned about where the change will take us?

elect inexperience, get tested.

Crazy Joe made another gaffe yesterday, but it's not that funny or inacurrate. Sure it's the last thing Obama wants his running mate to say, but even Biden cannot ignore the situation we'll put our country in when we elect a make believe hero as president. He foresees a big event happening to test whether Obama is able to be a strong leader and see what he'll do in times of crisis and danger. I thought Repubs were supposed to be the fear mongerors, but is this some new, weird tactic: striking fear, but calling on us to embrace the fear, because daddy Obama will be there? But even Biden doesn't seem comforted at the thought...
Hey, we might get blown up, but I'm willing to take the chance for the possibility of some feel-good change!



Biden even went on to say a bunch more weird and troublesome stuff about Obama possibly reacting and making choices that the public might not agree with or think are correct ones when this big test occurs. But Biden calls on everyone to not fear, not question Obama, but to have faith that it'll turn out in the end... man, that sounds optimistic. And that's coming from his #2!

exhibit A: Blindly following Obama

This is funny and a little scary. How can McCain compete when Obama gets the nod no matter what platform someone supports, even when it's McCain's. hmmm. maybe it's the old jedi mind tricks...

final debate and closing statement

Can you image how frustrating it would be to run against Obama? I think McCain deserves a medal just for the fact that he's survived without spontaneously combusting.
McCain tried to be on the offense tonight, he had to, it's his last stand. I wish he went harder, there is an incredible amount of ammunition to use. But McCain was given, with the Repub nomination, the impossible task of running against someone who was preordained to the presidency, who was anointed by almost all media outlets as the savior of the world and who has captured a frightening amount of supporters all in love with the idea of Obama.

Obama made a joke about Fox news' bias during the debate. Fox is a tiny segment of the media, one little network, against the entire rest of the world. Give me a break, because they want to look at the man who might be president without falling all over themselves and openly promote him Obama's going to whine about it?

Obama is running on the idea that McCain is more of Bush, that is it. Add in some garbage about spreading wealth around and giving people that don't pay tax tax breaks and you have Obama's platform in a nutshell. Oh, he speaks well too. And apparently that is enough to win.

It is astounding to me the faith and trust so many people are willing to put in this man. It is so simple and logical to question and so difficult to defend. I look at it like this:

He says he is a man of character. Let's hypothesize about his character by what he's done and who he associated with. He was taught and molded to become a political leader by radically thinking people, Ayres, Wright, Flagger and others. I know that it is lame to use the guilty by association thing, but really, there is a large number of questionable characters in this relatively unknown man's life. Obama, when asked about associations, has repeatedly lied at first, saying that there is nothing there to worry about. As it becomes a problem for him, he repeatedly comes up with poor excuses like 'I wasn't there...', 'I was eight years old'...etc. What about saying constantly to adoring fans: 'We need to bring the troops home now!', then going to Iraq and telling their government behind closed doors that he doesn't think any such action should be taken until he's president? That is not character! It is disturbing to me and basically ignored by most other people. Now the stuff with ACORN. He plays it off in the debate, laughing and saying he has nothing to do with ACORN? He was employed by them, he trained their people, he gave them money to have their help in registering people to vote. Now their own people are pleading guilty to fraud and they are being investigated in many states across the country. In Houston alone, 40% of the over 27,000 registrations were found to be fraudulent. ACORN has registered over 1.3 million voters so far this year. Thousands and thousands of votes are, I'm sure, being cast illegally and Obama laughs it off and says he's got no part in it and it's not a big deal. He is in bed with them, please open your eyes people. That is not character. He is a sneaky, smooth talking, erudite snob who uses people to get ahead.

He says to judge him by his record. He has none. He's voted present almost always and has done pretty much nothing as a senator. He said in the debate tonight that he's 'reached across the isle'. I don't know what he was talking about. When the economic collapse happened, he receded into the shadows, letting others take the blame. He and his friends at Freddie and Fannie were part of the problem, yet they are not called out. Obama didn't show any kind of leadership and wasn't at all involved with the bill they worked on and passed. He said for the Dems in D.C. to call him if they needed him. He didn't want to be involved in the mess, so did nothing and now he's picked up momentum because the blame has been dealt to people like McCain by the media. Again, look at the record: Repubs called for something to be done years ago that could have helped avoid such a housing crisis. McCain was there calling for it, Obama was stopping it. Now, McCain gets the blame and Obama crowd surfs by, carried by cheering fans that now trust him to fix the problem.

I didn't want to write alot and hope that this will all be over soon, whatever the outcome so I can try to focus on other things.

I just think it is incredible the way this has turned out. I am so curious to have a real chat with people who are so convinced of Obama. What are they going off of? His speaches? Because that is all there is!! Honestly. But it is too late, there are polls out that show more people think their taxes with go up more with McCain than Obama! Where are they getting this from? It makes no sense whatsoever. There is an epidemic of blind faith and self deception that is unbelievable. Obama could come out tomorrow and say that the moon is made of cheese and his followers would believe it. At the same time, McCain would be called racist and then assassinated for saying that in fact, it is not, but is rock and we can prove it.

Again, McCain is a hero for still standing after this complete joke of a race. The poor guy has been running against a ghost. Obama says any attack or question about him is a distraction. Distraction from what? His halo and glowing aura that everyone is supposed to be awestruck by? Man, Obama is incredible. He sidestepped or just shrugged off every question about his actions or associations tonight and for most of his campaign. He knows that his dorky looking frame has come to stand for something that cannot be stopped. And the masses continue to buy into the idea of OBAMA: A man that will transcend race, political party and all other divisiveness and evil to spread wealth, peace and joy- even though there is no such evidence to be found that he is anywhere near willing or able to do it.

Anyways, please mark me down as not buying any of it. It sure has been fascinating to watch though.

takes green to be green

Kind of rare to see something on msn that makes sense to me.
Just wanted to pass this short article on- talking about the rich and famous and environmentally conscious trying to tell everyone else how to live because they can handle the costs...

Even though this isn't a big issue right now, it's something I think is really annoying. McCain is supposed to be a complete idiot because he thinks we need more oil right now. I think it's nice he realizes that most of us live in the real world where the priority is to put food on the table and not save a polar bear from drowning. To me, it's not 'more of the same' or being 'out of touch', it's called dealing with reality and common sense.

get ready for the debate tonight!

I'm guessing we'll see plenty of Obama's magic:

The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama

hey- that sounds like an interesting book!

If you wrote a book on Obama and how great and important his campaign and accomplishments are, then were to come out with that book in the very moment the next presidency was sworn in, then which ticket would you be routing for? Which presidency would help sell more of your book?

These are all good questions. Apparently the person who wrote this book on Obama's greatness is the moderator of tomorrow's VP debate. Gwen Ifill is from the always unbiased and informative PBS. She's also been joining in the standard trash talk about Palin lately...

It should be a good debate. A woman who feminists and Obama fans want to publicly hang vs. an old boring guy with a cheerleader asking him questions.

Read the description and pre-order your own copy of the book here.

p.s. Gwen- I hope your book does really well!
