When I grow up, I want to pass legislation that I have not read!

OMG. Is there anyone out there that takes offense to Congress voting for legislation they have not read.

Just another day in the land where integrity and work ethic stand still. Just some magical place where you buy and sell votes "for" and "against" in back room deals.

Any D.C. bum that votes for legislation that he or she has not read should be taken to the square public discourse and be verbally whipped until they beg for our forgiveness. Where is the media outrage? Much too busy to report actual news, the media is busy with the canonization of a pedophile.

I just watched Henry Waxman try to stop a Republican from reading part of the proposed climate bill to colleagues who did not read the entire bill that was being voted on once the congressman sat down. IS THAT NOT WTF-WORTHY???? In fact, no one has read the entire bill. Yet, they voted and it passed.

Who knows what is in the bill. Talk about scary --- you hear this coming from your T.V. right before the vote: “Is there anything we aren't regulating in this bill?” the Republican Congressman asked as he held the bill. He questioned whether ACORN qualified for certain grants. He asked why an energy and climate bill was “trying to solve the problems with Fannie (Mae) and Freddie (Mac).”

So much for the Obama pledge of a transparent government. They are a party of sneaks and incompetents. If Republicans filed bills and amendments in the middle of the night to prevent open and vigorous debate, I would call for their heads, as well.

It is the idiot Bush with his spending, superior moral "authority" and war mongering that has has led to the community organizer and socialist Obama. Bush was probably too dumb to run a Dairy Queen and Obama, too lazy (he seems to be adverse to making his own money for his special welfare philanthropy, he just likes to spend ours). We elected these 2 nitwits in a seriously flawed primary system that permits the lunatic fringe minority of each party to trump the more centrist majority of each party. The whack jobs select whack job candidates and we are forced to select the "lesser evil."

Look at this great Country's governance. Elections have become a contest between 2 nut jobs and is decided on a nationwide vote as to the lesser of the nuttiness. Congress passes laws they have not read. If this continues our Country is headed for ruin.

Is "Cap and Trade" a Michael Jackson song?

Cap and Trade. I would be surprised if even 50% of the electorate even knows what "Cap and Trade" means. The Government sets a national cap on the total amount of CO2 that is permitted to be emitted. A company can then buy or sell permits to emit CO2. The goal of the legislation is to lower the national cap over time thereby reducing CO2 emissions. "Cap and Trade" has the intended consequence of increasing the cost of energy -- electricity and gas -- to encourage conservation.

Think about it -- higher energy costs brought about by a reduced (by our own Government setting a "cap") supply of energy...You do not have to be a genius to envision higher heating bills, higher gasoline prices, higher prices for everything PERIOD, companies leaving for, say, China which exists in one giant cloud of pollution...and lost American jobs. Unemployed Americans are right up our President's alley. We know our WefareR-In-Chief personally identifies with the unemployed since he has never managed to hold down a real job beyond "community organizer" i.e., helping the downtrodden get government freebies at the expense of taxpayers.

Where oh where has Our Media gone? Chasing down the death of a sad pathetic pedophile? Waxing eloquent about the death of a mega talented 1970s actress and mess? Chasing down every sordid detail of the extramarital affair of yet another politician?

Our elected leaders are about to vote on the biggest tax in our history and critical journalism made another wrong turn, this time, to Neverland Ranch.

Governor Lover Boy and Lessons Never Learned

A few points re: Gov. Mark Sanford's disclosure of extra-marital relations:

(1) I do not think the Gov's infidelity would get the breathless media treatment if he was not a conservative Republican who champions "family values" -- no one likes a hypocrite especially not the hypocritical media. Lesson Never Learned: To become a viable party, Republicans must give up being the party of the self-righteous and pious.

(2) The Governor lied to cover up his affair. LIAR. People reveal their character in a moment of opportunity. Lied to his wife, his children and his constituents. When a person reveals their character to you, LISTEN. All this sappy press conference crap is just spin. The affair is over because he was caught. Lesson Never Learned: It is the cover-up that gets 'em in the end.

(3) Gee, look at the investigative media. And here I thought they were incapable of actual investigation given that they are practically dating Obama. Katie, Brian, Anderson and company will probably report from Buenos Aires tomorrow. I await the tabloid, I mean network "got" interview with the Governor's lady friend. Holy crap, how about turning that hard hitting journalistic eagle eye toward the Government and the record deficit spending? Lesson Never Learned: The media is as much a whore as as any lying, cheating politician.

Amen, my French Brother

It is a sad day when France is further right on a social issue then America--

"The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement—I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic."

I wonder what the WelfareR-In-Chief would think about such an intolerant position toward the all clad?

"Our Income is Our debt"...just doesn't sound healthy

Let this permeate your brain - Currently, out of every $6.00 in American income, $1.00 comes from the state or federal government. And, recall, our Government has been borrowing billions upon billions of dollars to support its' unrestrained spending, expected to exceed $2 trillion dollars this year. One sixth of our income is our debt (or 16.6% of our income is our debt). How will this Ponzi scheme not collapse on itself and bring us to ruin?

A Ponzi scheme is a fraud whereby the operation pays returns to investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors rather than from any actual profit earned. Yikes. A Ponzi scheme usually falls apart when the operation can not get new investment money... Hum, kind of like when China eventually says they will not buy any more of our debt.

And what is Obama doing while our Country is facing certain financial catastrophe? After dusting off his middle name and possibly sporting some creepy Egyptian fashionable mustache, Obama is running around the Mideast apologizing, confessing and generally groveling on our behalf to any Muslim willing to listen to him.

What a narcissistic little weasel. We have an economic crisis made so much worse by Obama and his minion, Geithner's myopic response and Obama spends his time and our money running all over the Middle East trying to create his "legacy???"

Finally, I figured out who Obama reminds me of...

My eyes were like saucers and my tongue lolled out of my mouth as I was thinking about all this money we do not have that Obama is spending.

It is like Obama hijacked the American citizens' credit card. Identity Theft. Obama uses our credit and we Taxpayers sob at our mailbox when we see the balance and minimum payment due. Unprecedented spending. Mind numbing, really. And, Obama tells us, we need to overhaul health care -- now or never!

Then I saw a picture of this guy out on a "date" with his wife -- he took a government plane to New York to catch a Broadway play -- subsidized by the taxpayers AND IT HIT ME, EUREKA!


Obama spends money like he has never held a job before, like he never had to make a payroll...Can you imagine ANYONE running a business like Obama is running this Country? Yikes!!!! President Bernie Ebbers? President Kenneth Lay? President Jeffrey Skilling? President Bernie Madoff? What on Earth we thinking with the election of this incompetent manager of our money, our future?


In fact, Obama reminds me of those welfare cheats, getting a government check because they have "arthritis," that take the Casino bus for 2 hours to Atlantic City to gamble "their government stipend," aka, "my money that I worked hard for and the government took under threat of prosecution." That is who he reminds me of..a welfare cheat taking my money, like he is somehow entitled, without the slightest appreciation as to how hard people work for that money that he throws around (for instance, on his date night). That is Obama's whole philosophy in a nutshell, "the government owes me something." No different then those NON-TAXPAYERS who collect all manner of government (aka, "your") money for a variety of special needs as an ENTITLEMENT. No question their are many legitimate claims to government/taxpayer assistance, but that is not who I am talking about. We have all seen wasted money in the welfare realm -- look no further then Obama's Aunt, here illegally, yet enjoying some of the taxpayer pie.

I intend to reconstruct a resume for Obama to see if he has ever made an honest living working an honest job. I have to believe the answer will be 'No", because anyone who has worked hard for what they have (and not spent their career at the generous government trough) would be incapable of spending other people's money like this guy.

You don't say, Obama

The quote [Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Stotmayor in 2001]: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

The defense [President Obama in a broadcast interview this week]: "If you look in the entire sweep of the essay that she wrote, what's clear is that she was simply saying that her life experiences will give her information about the struggles and hardships that people are going through, that will make her a good judge."

OMG, Obama will say anything as long as it advances his narcissism. Period. For heaven's sake Obama, SHE WROTE IT. Do you think the pen slipped, the keyboard was possessed and she wrote/typed "white male"??? Stotomayor was not "simply saying" her life experience will make her a good Judge. She WAS "simply saying" that because of her ethnicity, she can make better decisions then a whitey Judge, or a honky man Judge. She said it. She said it clearly. One can presume she meant it. Obama thinks he can flash his big smile and say, "trust me" about this nominee.

Please tell me how this woman is not thrown back as sexist and racist?

Can you imagine [if Justice Roberts made the same statement]: "I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina female who hasn't lived that life."

I am simply saying "Double standard. Double standard. Double standard." [Obama would say, "she was simply saying standards have doubled in the last 3 years."]

I am also simply saying that Obama is a huckster. [Obama would say, "she was simply stating that Obama likes corn]

You want a glimpse of this President's character, ask yourself why he does not defend his nominee's clear statement. Why is he hiding behind a vapid defense?

Summers Slept Softly, Slipping in to Sleepyville While Obama Droned On...

Today, Lawrence Summers, the Director of the White House's National Economic Council, was caught napping like a bored resident of an old folk's home. No, it was not Larry's bedtime. Summers went 'bye-bye' or, if you prefer, "dormant" during a meeting between our President and credit card officials. Drool rivulets and angry nursing home attendants were about the only things missing from his literal sleeping on the job. And, the President, known for his great TelePrompted oration, was speaking at the time Summers slipped off to Sleepyville!!! This is at least the 2nd time this guy has gone beddy-bye at meeting where the press was present. Will Obama, known for if his tough stance on banking executive's compensation, require Larry to pay American tax payers back any of the salary Larry has received for sleeping?

Obama Digging Deep

Obama, with a straight face, proposed cutting a mere $100 million in his multitrillion dollar federal budget.

That would be the same as me saying I am going to tighten my belt by cutting out one trip to Starbucks this year.

Obama thinks we are stooopid!

Surprise!

Auntie Zeituni has been legally permitted to enjoy the fruits of our welfare system for another year! A Court ruled that Auntie will be allowed to make yet another bid for asylum in February 2010.

Auntie Zeituni

Another example of the piss poor state of affairs in our Country is Obama's Alien Aunt (half sister of Obama's deceased father) living in taxpayer funded public housing while hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal immigrants are on waiting lists, despite being ordered to leave in 2003 and ordered deported in 2004 after full due process in our courts.

Hard as it is to believe our Great Communicator, Obama claims not to have known that Auntie was in the country, let alone, illegally, until Auntie the Alien was brought to his attention in the days preceding the election. Auntie has been in this country since 2000, sopping up 8 years worth of "American" generosity (that is generosity from the dying breed known as the "American Taxpayer" since a ridiculous percentage of the population does not pay taxes). How is it that an illegal alien can get public housing and assistance without lying on a government form that warns about the crime of false swearing???? -- all the while, defying our borders, laws and court orders. Illegal Alien Auntie even attended inauguration festivities.

Asylum is granted when it is established that the seeker proves that return to their country of origin will result in persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group. Auntie has been quoted as saying she came to this country to find work and a better life. Sure doesn't sound like she fulfills the legal requisites for asylum. You know as surely as your morning cup of coffee that Auntie's legal arguments will go over better the third time around now that her loving nephew occupies the big house. Yes, Auntie is now on her third bite of the apple (again, at the expense of the taxpayers) to fight her deportation by seeking asylum.

Why isn't Obama, or his rich friend Oprah, footing the bill for Auntie's apartment, food, legal defense, court costs and other assorted benefits????? Even more offensive then the drain on our treasury is the fact that right now there are so many American citizens barely hanging on as a result of our elected politicians running our economy into the ground, desperate for the type of assistance that is being spent on the Great Communicator's relative.

And of course, Auntie is just one of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who sneak around this country with their hands in our pockets. Recall that recent lawsuit where the illegal aliens sued some rancher because he rounded them up ON HIS OWN DAMN PROPERTY and allegedly used some rude language and may have (literally) kicked one of them in the ass (I note that you can not count on the government to do any ass-kicking where illegal aliens are concerned).

Why are we letting these stupid, corrupt, lying politicians decide America's priorities without public debate? Makes you feel helpless.

Term limits. No congressional pensions. No congressional perks.

I spell Obama "N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-T"

Hard Hitting Journalism

Headlines from the Drudge Report:


CNN INVESTIGATES: How to get First Lady's toned arms...

You, Pelosi and the Peace Corps

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office." - H. L. Mencken


...And these same people are about to spend 1 Trillion Dollars with very little open PUBLIC debate about exactly how spending money we do not have (in essence credit card debt) will revive our dying economy. My guess is this pork-free-for-all will permit our economy to sit up in bed and cough, right before we are dead (or "bankrupted," if you don't like the gravely ill patient metaphor).

Has there been any debate whatsoever as to the cost to the U.S.A. if this "stimulus" plan does not work?

After blowing through our Great Leaders' 1 Trillion Dollar plan, the U.S.A. may be reduced to wearing a dark pair of glasses, holding a pencil can and a sign, begging, "Will Work for $$$." On a bright note, U.S. citizens will be the most highly educated people in all the world about STDs and may find jobs with the Peace Corps in developing countries.

You could find yourself educating the locals about the wisdom of condoms alongside Nancy Pelosi.

I want my FLOTUS to be Judged Not by the Color of her Dress Designer's Skin, But by The Content of Her Character

Oprah will probably start a movement for "conscious dressing." Careful what you wear lest someone take offense. Poor Michelle Obama, aka FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), selected her inaugural wear based presumably on what she liked and she caught some hell.

The Black Artists Association (BAA) has criticized FLOTUS for not selecting any African-American designers for her inaugural wear. Sounds like BAA is looking for a little affirmative action for clothing designers. Select a dress not because you like it, but because of the race of the dress maker. I wonder if BAA made the same request of Laura Bush.

BAA Co founder Amnau Eele in an interview with Women's Wear Daily stated, "It's fine and good if you want to be all 'Kumbaya' and 'We Are the World' by representing all different countries. But if you are going to have Isabel Toledo do the inauguration dress, and Jason Wu do the evening gown, why not have Kevan Hall, B Michael, Stephen Burrows or any of the other black designers do something too?"

Are they are saying Michelle Obama is racially insensitive or worse, racist??? What are they saying exactly?

We have come a long way with the election of Obama where a women is judged by the color of her dress designer's skin and not the content of her character.

Par-tay

Is any one bothered by the Cost of the Inauguration Circus? Roads, rails and schools are being closed. The cost must be astronomical -- you have the cost plus the cost of the lost productivity (between Delaware and D.C. -- alright, I admit D.C. is hardly a beehive of business).

We could probably bail out another industry with the amount of money being spent on this Party Obama and Friends are throwing for themselves.

And make no mistake about it, this is a party for Obama and his Circle who will be 100% in attendance. The average American that comes to D.C. will represent 0.1% of Americans, conservatively. These party-goers will be freezing their ass off, watching their breath fog, as they say, "is that him?" Obama's group can afford the thousands of dollars being charged for hotel rooms in D.C. while the average American will be sleeping in their cars. The other 99.9% of Americans not going to D.C. are relegated to watching the spectacle on the tube. This ain't America's Party. This is Obama, Michelle, Oprah, JayZ and Ben Affleck's party.

Where is The Media? Remember back in the day when The Media hyperventilated over Bush for his inauguration largess during a time of war? Isn't it unseemly to be throwing the mother of all self congratulatory inauguration party's when our country's financial crisis is being compared to the Great Depression. WTF?

Psst. Are you looking for The Media?...(Whisper) Shhhh...they are waiting in line to score an inauguration ticket.

What best describes Obama's economic theory? (choose one): (A) socialism or (B) capitalism

If you picked "B" you are wrong. If you picked "A", congratulations you are a winner! Find and give a poor person 10 - 50% of your net income as the first step in creating a society where wealth and power are shared equally regardless of your economic effort or contribution.

Below is a little Socialism 101 followed by direct Obama quotes.

Socialism includes economic theories of social organization that propose the creation of an egalitarian society. Marx believed that socialism would come about after class struggle and a working man revolution. A Socialist and Obama share the belief that capitalism by nature concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, and creates an unequal and therefore, unfair society. Socialists and Obama advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly.

Yesterday Obama was caught on video telling an Ohio plumber that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and "spread the wealth around" to those with lesser incomes.
Outside Toledo, Joe Wurzelbacher approached Obama telling the candidate that he planned to become the owner of a small plumbing business that will take in more than the $250,000 (the amount at which Obama plans to begin raising tax rates).

Wurzelbacher asked, "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?"

Obama responded that it would.

Wurzelbacher continued: "I've worked hard . . . I work 10 to 12 hours a day and I'm buying this company and I'm going to continue working that way. I'm getting taxed more and more while fulfilling the American Dream."

Obama told him "It's not that I want to punish your success, I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success, too."

Obama explained his trickle up theory, "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Do you want to live in an "egalitarian" society where 50 percent of the population financially supports the other 50 percent of the population? Then vote Marx and Lenin, oops, I mean Obama and Biden.

Happy Birthday America!

If America could blow out 232 candles and make a wish: "Puuuleezzzzzzze can I have a good President, one with some common sense? An altruistic President. That is my only wish. Happy Birthday to me."

Oh Heath, We Can't Possibly Go On. Let's Thow the Druggie A Parade!

Heath Ledger's hometown of Perth, Australia, named a theater in his honor for his "commitment to acting." Which I guess makes sense, you wouldn't name a theater after an O.D.ing, self-absorbed pill popping actor who was more interested in his pursuit of a high then in being a Father to his child (i.e., if being a good Father means not carelessly and selfishly orphaning said child). An $87 million (you could buy a lot of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine with that amount of scratch), 575-seat facility was named the "Heath Ledger Theater" and serves as a "tribute" because Ledger was always supportive of other young actors. Kim Ledger, the late actor's father, called the tribute a pleasant surprise. "He was such a giver to the arts right across the board. I really feel that there's not a lot of things he'd put his name to, but he'd put his name to that," said Ledger's father. "...[N]ot a lot of things he'd put his name to..." ???? -- You have got to be kidding me, Ledger had really HIGH (pun intended) standards. Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is generating Oscar buzz. Like we haven't celebrated this druggie enough with tears, flowers and mass media hyperventilation, give the doper an academy award. I can't wait for Oscar night for the maudlin display of Hollywood morals and mourning. In a moment of clairvoyance, I can see Michelle Williams accepting the award on behalf of her orphaned child, the cameras panning the audience for tear filled eyes and the standing ovation the seemingly goes on forever.

Urine Tests For Everyone!

I just received one of those "forward" emails, see below. I bet you could poll every single American and they would agree to the sentiment of this email (unless you are a crackhead on the public dole -- a protected constituency, apparently).


I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%. Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don' t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their A**, doing drugs, while I work. . .. . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though . . .. Something has to change in this country -- and soon!

Does It Come Down to a Cab Ride in a Foreign Country?

I am ensconced in 1200 feet of suite with a wall of glass looking at the ocean in the Bahamas. On the cab ride to this paradise, my black Bahamanian cab driver, Gordon, was positively glowing when he spoke of the candidacy of Barack Obama. Gordon told me he has "watched Obama carefully and he has a touch of M-L-K in him." He Felt Pride. Gordon was pretty much bursting with pride at Obama's against-the-odds democratic presidential nomination. I can not think of a single person who would have had the guts to tell my cab driver that they might not vote for Obama.* For the first time, I Felt (as opposed to intellectually understood) what the election of Obama as President of the U.S. means to black people of all nationalities.

*Even if I was John McCain's cousin, I would probably apologetically tell Gordon that I had to vote for my cousin or my Mom would disown me, shun me, never take my calls again. And, I would hope that he would understand.

I call B.S. on Hillary, too

This whole thing between Hillary and Barack has become tedious. In order to be fair, I need to level my literary gun (isn't that quite the overstatement of my power) at Ms. Hillary "I've Seen Some Gun Play In My Time" Clinton.

Sometimes when I am really TIRED or even just a little TIRED, I misspeak. I am not talking about some sloppy grammar, that happens even when I am awake and at my very best. I am talking about the Mack Daddy of Misspeaking, making up things. One time, when I was TIRED, I launched in to an entirely made up story about the time I was pinned down by sniper fire coming from my neighbors roof. My neighbor was on the roof with his guns. I even missed my dental appointment because I couldn't leave the house. My life is way more important than my teeth cleaning. After I told the the story, my spouse said, "I never knew that happened to you." I was TIRED and the story just popped out of my mouth. After my spouse confronted the neighbor, I admitted that I "misspoke" because I was TIRED. It happens, right?

ANOTHER BIG FAT LIE BY ANOTHER LIAR. Where did we get these K-Mart Candidates???

This spouse of mine made a great point about Hillary's Sniper Fire Story. Okay, so Hillary made up a Death Defying tale of the Bosnia Rain of Bullets because she was TIRED (so she says) when caught in what looks like a lie to the untrained eye. Isn't she the same person who has been running around saying she would be the best person to answer the emergency call at 3am because of her experience???? Holy Mackerel, what happens when she picks that phone up at 3am and she is TIRED????

Hillary: Ah, hello [clears throat]...snore
Important Trusted Advisor (ITA): Yes, there is a crisis between China and Taiwan..blah, blah, blah
Hillary: I am very TIRED...I remember when the Chinese had me and Bill pinned down with a nuclear war head aimed at my butt...
ITA: I don't understand...Madam President, we need an answer now!
Hillary: ...I decided to wear a pant suit that downplayed my derriere...
ITA: [speaking to someone in the room], We have a Constitutional crisis. Get the Vice President, I think the President is incapacitated...
Hillary: ...I was much less of a target for the Chinese, or maybe I was a confusing target...

I am TIRED. Let's bring back shame.

Obama, I call B.S.

Obama, in response to being called out on his close, personal friend Rev. Wright's race baiting, said, "the forces of division" over race are intruding into the Democratic presidential nomination contest. Yo, Barack, what are you saying??? It is your close personal friend, pastor and member of your campaign staff who is "the force of division." Are you playing the "race card" to divert attention from yourself?

"We have to come together," Obama said. OMG. Hypocrite. Disingenuous. LOL. If you wanted to "come together" maybe you should have disavowed Rev. Wright years ago, as opposed to now when it suspiciously appears you are only doing it ("insincere" is the word that comes to mind) to get yourself elected President. And quit pretending you did not know this guys hateful rhetoric. You had a conversation months ago with Wright himself about "distancing" because you knew this would become an issue. YOU KNEW. YOU KNEW. Stop pretending like this is news to you.

"If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked," Obama said. I guess we just take your word on it that Wright is a lover, not a race baiter. I look forward to the evidence I know will come of you sitting front and center for Rev. Wright spewing a little hate from the pulpit. You picked this guy to work for your campaign and that speaks volumes about you Obama X.

Obama: "The forces of division have begun to raise their ugly head again," Obama said. Are you actually putting the blame somewhere other than where it belongs, ON YOU and your race baiting buddy?

Obama: "It reminds me: We've got a tragic history when it comes to race in this country. A lot of pent-up anger and mistrust and bitterness. This country wants to move beyond these kinds of things." B.S. Barack Obama. I call B.S. If you truly believed what you said, you wouldn't have anything to do with Rev. McHate.

What do you think a white American should think when watching their potential U.S. President's closet spiritual adviser directing hate and anger at white America? You are just a closet divider who lacks the guts to tell us what you really think.

Obama X

Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. was supposed to speak at Obama’s Feb. 10 presidential announcement. After tapes of the preacher's anti-America sermons were widely disseminated, Obama changed his mind.

And, AFTER the story broke, Obama made numerous statements distancing himself from Wright's offensive political commentary (Wright is not a big fan of America, especially white America). Requests for an interviews with Wright were referred to the Obama campaign. WHAT THE HECK???? How are you distancing yourself from this nut, when your campaign is acting as his freakin' publicist?

An Obama spokesman referred to Wright as “media shy." Now that one big fat lie. The guy was doing live webcasts of his "anti-white 'god damn America' and quit complaining about 9/11 you deserved it" rants. You could not watch one sermon and say with a straight face that Wright is shy about anything.

I will leave it to another post to tell about how Obama had a conversation with Wild Man Wright back in the FALL where they both agreed that Obama would have to distance himself from Rev. Wright if he was competitive in the primaries. Just politics as usual. Obama X for President?

I always had a feeling Obama's holier than art thou "I am a new breed of Honest Politician"(reminds me of the pedestal that Eliot built) was an act, now I am sure about it. Beware of the Politician who tells you he is different.

Let's see whether the media gives Obama a free pass because they are afraid to broach the topic of a black man's possible racism. If Hillary attended a Church for decades and had a close personal relationship with a preacher who made similar racist comments, the media would tie her to a spit, light the fire, hold hands and sing camp songs as she roasted live on network TV.

The Effect of Feeding the Beast with Endless Polling Information

Our "Just the Facts" Hard News Media does not report the results of their exit polling until after the polls close so that they do not influence an election. To avoid, for example, the situation where I am putting on my shoes getting ready to go vote when I hear on the T.V. that according to the exit polls, Obama is the predicted winner. I throw my shoes back in the closet as I think, "no need to go vote now." Yet, the media endlessly and breathlessly predicts and broadcasts to anyone willing to listen how a primary is going to turn out based on polling (regular polling, not exit polling). We are assaulted with Deadly Serious and Earnest predictions based on polls for days leading up to a primary election. Why go out and vote for Hillary in Virginia or Maryland, when Obama is going to to win in a landslide? I throw my shoes right back in the closet.

I suppose the News Media's response is that an exit poll is the questioning a person who has actually voted and a regular poll is questioning of a person who says that they are going to vote. Such a transparent and weak distinction permits the News Media to make the equally weak distinction that they are the News Media, not to be confused with the Entertainment Media.

Ask yourself one question, what purpose is served by broadcasting poll results? The News Media is, in essence, manufacturing its' own news (how quaint the notion of just reporting the news). They do (or hire someone to do or buy) some polling. They report their polling. They discuss their polling ad nauseum (by every living political pundit and hanger on) until they reach the four corners of the globe with the results of their polling. Oh, that's right, what purpose do they serve? Hum, filler. 24 hour filler for the masses. Who cares if they influence elections they have time to fill and commercials to sell.

Before I leave to go vote, I better tune in to Fox News (or read the New York Post) to find out what commentator and columnist Dick Morris has to say about the how my primary will turn out. You remember Clinton Presidential Advisor Dick Morris, he let a prostitute, Sherry Rowlands, listen in on conversations with President Clinton. I believe she was sucking on his toes at the time. That is your News Media.
