BILL CLINTON SAVES DAY THREE

Posted by Kevin on Thursday, August 28, 2008 8:22:28 AM
Bill Clinton did what only he could do. He gave just the right speech, said all the right things, stirred up the crowd just enough to perhaps save this otherwise dull, themeless, boring, disjointed excuse for a political convention.
 
Like Hillary yesterday, he swollowed his enormous ego and went out and do what a consumate pro does.
 
Bill's speech shows why he commands enormous speaking fees world wide. He is engaging, talks to a crowd as if each person is the only one in the room. He combined the past with the future and even did more attacking of McCain than I thoug he would do. Up till then the Convention was a morass of ineptness. Bill Clinton may have snapped it to attention. Problem is many viewers who are not political junkies may have tuned out after day two. We shall see today with the daily tracking polls.
 
Was it enough to give Obama the lead in he needed for his acceptance speech tonight? Will viewers tune back in tonight and will Obama get a clear bounce after a whole week of losses? Time will tell, but today McCain probably announces his VP choice which should steal some of the excitement and air time from Obama. Monday starts McCain'a convention. and it must have clear defined themes each day and lay out clearly and specifically his vision for America. He and the VP need also to get in attack mode and every time Obama calls McCain the third term of Bush, Fight back with Obama is the second comming of Jimmy Carter and remind folk how bad, how awful a President Carter was and how harmful he was in foreign and domestic policy.
 
Let me know where YOU think the convention stands now. WIll there be a bounce? Will it last more than one day? Can McCain close the sale with a dynamic and clear convention and strong Veep pick?

SECOND DAY SAME AS THE FIRST - LOST OPPORTUNITY

Posted by Kevin on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 9:36:26 AM
Day two of the Democratic Circus is history. This was THE speech day. Hillary's night. Would she or wouldn't she? Well she DID, but only sort of.
 
Last night was really the opening of Clinton 2012. She laid out again why SHE should have been the nominee. Oh she didn't come out and say it of course but it was woven into each paragraph. The speech was strictly a political endorsement, no more no less. She did the minimum required to still claim she is doing what she can to support the ticket.
 
If I am Obama's campaign staff I am relieved, as it could have been worse. It was at least an endorsement and call for unity, blah, blah, blah.. in other words she didn't do any harm...at least not last night. But she didn't do much good either. It was not the ringing endorsement you need to hear at the convention when all eyes and ears are tuned to your candidate for four days.
 
This week should have been the highlight of the campaign for Obama. He started by naming his Vice Presidential candidate, Joe Biden, but got no bounce, in fact he lost a point or two AFTER the VP announcement. Then we start the convention. Day one was a total loss. No theme, no littany of Obama's acomplishments (there are none), no attack on the big bad McCain...nothing....
When did we hear Barack Obama will make a great commander in chief? Nothing, ZIP..When did we hear iis experienced enough to take the reigns of world leadership? Silence.. 
 
Teddy's last Hoo Rah for Camelot, a reminder when Democrats really stood for things.A reminder of the past.
 
Day two was also a loss for Obama. First his Keynote speaker gets bumped off primetime - a first! When has a keynote speaker been bumped before? Why was he bumped? Because he refused to attack John McCain. The Keynote speech is just that - a key part of the convention, sets the table, etc etc. so it was a failure. Then HER speech. Another reminder both of the past and what the present could have been. Not good for Obama. Who planned this mess any way, spys for McCain and the RNC?? Sure looks that way!
 
Tonight is the Vice Presidential Candidate's speech. It will be a great spech, Joe Biden can whip up a crowd with the best of them. BUT, it is also Bill Clinton's speech. It will over shadow Biden's. The talk will be about Clinton and did he go far enough. did he help or hurt, It will again be about the past. Not good for a campaign calling for change. IF there is still an audiance tonight after two mostly boring nights, what will they get from the two speeches? Whose will they remember?
 
As I wrote yesterday, Obama negotiated two days of HIS convention away to Hillary, a looser. That may be harsh, after all she got half the primary votes, but she DID loose and this is Obama's convention and he lost control. How can he stand up to Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, Syria, etc etc in negotiations when he cant even come out ahead in negotiations with some one HE defeated? This does not bode well for Obama.
 
John McCain can go along way toward closing the sale with a suprise, strong, exciting VP pick this week and follow it next week with an organized, cohesive convention with a strong theme that lays out each day HIS qualifications, HIS vision, HIS plan for America  McCain has a real chance to show HE is the innovative candidate who can think out of the box and bring real change!

SHE DID WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF HER...NO MORE

Posted by Kevin on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 11:24:48 PM
My ears still hurt from listening to Hillary clinton's long awaited speech. How she do? She did the bare minimum that was expected. It was far from a heart felt endorsement she said only what she had to do politically no more no less. The first 25 minutes were flat and dull, only raising the tone and pitch as she wrapped it up. She couldn't have been less enthused, less emotional, less believeable. SHe did nothing to quench the buyer  remorse of many Democrats.
 
I actually expected more from her to show Obama up and make the crowd compare her to Joe Biden, but in the end she could only go so far. For her political future she did ok. Obama's people however cannot be happy at all. Add this to the totally boring and short keynote speech earlier in the evening and night two is another wasted opportunity. This does not bode well for the rest of the convention.
 
The talk tonight and tomorrow won't be about Obama, it will be about THE SPEECH. about Hillary. I can't wait to hear Bill tomorrow.
Obama's people won't get much sleep tonight worrying about it!

EVEN THE DENVER DEMONSTRATORS ARE BORING

Posted by Kevin on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 3:34:54 PM
Time was when Democrats knew how to put on a bring down the house gosh darn down n dirty, honest to goodness Convention!. They also knew how to put on a bonifide demonstration.Remember Chicago 1968? After day one of the Denver Debacle sleep over, they appear no longer cabable of doing either.
 
It is not a good omen for them when the demonstrators outside are as dull as the clueless wonders inside!
 
James Carville nailed it last night on CNN :
 
... "The way they planned it tonight was supposed to be sort of the personal ... Michelle Obama will talk about Barack Obama personally, Ted Kennedy was a very personal, emotional speech, but I guarantee on the first night of the Republican Convention, you're going to hear talk about Barack Obama, commander-in-chief, tax cuts, et cetera, et cetera."

"You haven't heard about Iraq or John McCain or George W. Bush, I haven't heard any of this. We are a country that is in a borderline recession, we are an 80 percent wrong-track country. Health care, energy, I haven't heard anything about gas prices, maybe we are going to look better Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but right now, we're playing hide the message."

“If this party has a message it's done a hell of a job hiding it tonight, I promise you that."
 
Thanks for the GREAT NEWS Jimbo! I too was looking and listening for the message, it was no where to be found. Even outside among the demonstrators there was no message. Instead they seemed hell bent on harrassing a producer from Fox News! Pathetic! What kind of a demonstration is that?
 
Prior to the convention there were calls by various groups enroute to Denver to "recreate 68." The problem is those responsible for the original '68, your humble observers buddies, got  too drugged and or too  old to remember how or what we did in '68 to re create it in Denver in '08! Too bad. Those were the days when a demonstration was a demonstration. NO they were events! Happenings! Alas, no more. The fine art of demonstrating was never taught. The baton never passed on to a new generation.
 
So far the demonstrators outside are just as clueless, just as flat, just as rudderless as the children pretending to be politicians inside. Tonight and Wedensday are Lets respect the Clintons Nights. Who's convention is this anyway? Who is in Charge? How can you negotiate away half your convention to some one you defeated? Does that reflect what we can expect from an Obama Administration when they sit down without preconditions with Syria?? or Iran? or North Korea? or Russia? If you can not come out ahead in negotiations with a looser you have no business running for President of anything let alone of The United States!

CIRCUS DAY ONE - THE BIG DUD

Posted by Kevin on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:17:33 AM
Well it started last night. The Circus that is the Democratic Convention. If day one is any forecast for the rest of the show they can put it on DVD and sell it as a sleep aid.
 
In my opinion they missed the chance to begin laying out what Barack Obama stands for and how he wants to get there. Not the Hope and Change pablum he has been feeding us but the main course, the meat and potatoes. That is of course if there are meat and potatoes!
 
Sure Ted Kennedy gave a rousing speech about the past and how Obama will bring hope and change, yadda yadda yadda. Basic campaign speech Ted always gives. Sure it ment more as this will probably his last convention but there was nothing new. No discussion of specific programs, just the usual littany of Health care, jobs, economy education and of course the war in Iraq.
 
We heard nothing last night of what specifically Obama plans to do about anything.
 
Michelle Obama was supposed to be the highlight of last night's program. She was charming, she looked good, in fact to plagiarise - I mean, borrow from their Vice Presidential Nominee, she was clean, inteligent and articulate!. Not my words folks, Joe Biden's, remember? She did what they told her to do. Be softer, be a mom, a wife, a daughter who loved her Daddy. She did all that and did it well. She spoke lovingly of her husband, But where was the beef? Another speech, another lost opportunity to lay out another Obama proposal. I am a political junkie. I live for this stuff. They lost me last night Sure I am not voting for him any way, but most people are not political junkies. If you loose people like me from boredom, how many "normal" viewers did they loose and will they tune again later in the week?
 
I understand that in a four day convention you build up to the nominee's acceptance speech, but each day is an opportunity to get part of your message out. spending the first day with Nancy Pelosi babeling, and Ted Kennedy giving his Last Hoo Rah for Camelot and Michelle telling us they are a normal American family is not news. It is not info that tells anyone anything about How Barack Obama will deal with the complex and dangerous world he wants to lead. I hope the McCain campaign and the RNC are taking copious notes. Don't do what they are doing.
 
If the pace does not pick up and the ratings this week are low, McCain has a great opportunity to follow the Dem convention with a great VP pick that deflates any bounce Obama may get. Follow the VP pick with the Republican convention next week and the Big MO stays with McCain.
 
This could still end up being a great convention for the Obama Biden ticket. But tonight is Hillary night, a reminder of what was in the 90's and what could have been. Not an Obama night. Sure she will do like Michelle and do what she is supposed to do and say it very well but the talk will be about HER not Obama no matter what she says. Tomorrow it is Bill Clinton...another reminder of the past. Where is the hope and change? follow Bill with another blast from the past going back 36 years in the Senate, Joe, I am not a plagiarist, Biden, and that doesn't leave much convention for the candidate! So much for chsnge..YAWN!!!
 
Obama's negotiotions with the Clintons does not bode well for his abilities to negotiate with enemies like Russia, Chins, North Korea, Iran, etc. Obama gave away the store at his own convention! This was a no brainer. It is HIS week and he has devided it up so badly there is not much left for him. He can not be allowed to do the same with our future!

HOW MANY NAMES FOR OBAMA CAN YOU LIST?

Posted by Kevin on Sunday, August 24, 2008 10:46:12 AM
 
In his intro speech yesterday, new VP candidate Joe (I am not a Plagiarist) Biden bestowed a new title on Barack Obama. It seems like every week one hears or sees a new name for him, so lets review some here.
 
  • Barry Obama
  • Barry Soebotoe the name his step father gave him
  • Barack Hussein Obama, the name his other father gave him
  • The voice of change
  • the savior
  • The one who makes my leg tingle (Chris Matthews of Messed Up NBC gave him this goodie)
  • the one sent to us by God at this time (Queen Nancy Pelosi's contribution)
  • The messiah
  • The one We have been waiting for (He gave this one himself)
  • Even Ross Perot has got into the act and given Obama HIS nickname, EARS.
  • which leads to another, Dumbo
  • Barack America  (given yesterday by his VP pick, Joe Biden. )
There are more, many more. The two that really stand out are Messiah and now Barack America. It is scarry that while most use the Messiah nick name in a derogatory way to mock Obama's pompus, holier than thou, know it all attitude, there are many Libs who do see him in a Messaniac way. Once you believe one person embodies all your hopes and dreams for the future it is a short step to giving that person more and more power in order to enable him to carry out those hopes and dreams. Anyone ever hear of Adolph Hitler?
 
Barack America - Is this like Captain America? Was this a gaffe or a subconcious admission of Joe Biden that Obama embodies all that IS America? Could be a little of both. Obama the Super Hero!
 
I am sure you all can come up with many many more Obama names you use, or hear in the MSM or talk radio or that other Bloggers here use in their Blogs. Send them in! I want to compile a Town Hall Bloggers Compendium of Names of the mystical grand leader, Barack Hussein Obama. Its is fun and humorous thinking of all the names people attribute to Obama but at the same time it makes you think cause each name no matter how serious of humorous tells a part of who folks think Barack Obama is and wants to do. So send in your lists and lets see how many names there are out there!
 
One thing is certain, there is one name or title we must never allow him to be called and that is Mr. President.

BREAKING NEWS BIDEN SAYS HE KNOWS WHERE BOTH HIS FEET ARE

Posted by Kevin on Saturday, August 23, 2008 3:35:29 PM

Joe Biden began his speech in Springfield Ilinois  by saying he now knows where both his feet are. Nine times out of ten he will not have to look far when he can't find his feet. He only has to look as far as his mouth!!  Barack Obama picked Biden out of fear McCain was hurting him with charges of inexperience on foreign affairs. Biden does have experience but he also has a habit of shooting from the mouth, That is however when it is not occupied by his feet!

OBAMA DISSES HILLARY WITH A LOOSE CANNON

Posted by Kevin on Saturday, August 23, 2008 9:28:36 AM
 
Finally! Whew! I am glad thats over. We now have the VP camdidate we all have been waiting for. Joe Biden, current Senator, former Plagiarist, always a loose cannon with foot in mouth disease. Obama gets the VP HE wants, Nah  Nah Nah NAH NAH! take that Hilbil!
In the end it all came down to falttery.. Yup! Obama, The Messiah, the one given to us by God at this time,according to Nancy Pelosi, He who seeks world adoration picked Joe Biden. Do not pay attention to all the pundants and cable hosts this weekend attermpting to explain Obama's choice. It was FALTTERY. He picked the guy who really understands him. The guy who recognized early on Obama was special, the guy who called him Clean and Articulate!. Yep! thats when the decision was made, way back then.
 
So Obama has his man. But at what cost? He showed his independence. He showed he could make an important decision himself.He built up the hype and speculation. He...DISSED HILLARY! Big mistake..BIG, BIG mistake.
 
Actually the dissing began long ago and far far away. Hillary was preparing for her coronation. Bill was preparing for his triumphant return.
It was inevitable. She was OWED this for putting up with Bill. It was hers and there was no one in sight cabable of stealing her place in history. Leading pretenders to her throne were the likes of Joe "I am not a Plagirist" Biden and a big eared, inexperienced up start kid with a funny name, Barack Hussein Obama.
 
Fast forward to the primaries. Hil played it safe. Talked about the old days. would not give interviews would not enter caucuses, had no plans for after Super Tuesday, Why should she? No way this would go beyond Super Tuesday, then its on to the White House and her proper place on the World Stage.Obama blasted these plans to pieces. Obama beat Hillary! Oh she tried to wrest it from him, tried to convince delegates to dump him because he couldn't win in November...Obama beat her.  The Clinton's never forget anything. No one gets away with disrespecting the Clinton's and the fact that it was a Black man made it even worse. After all it was Bill who was the first black President.
 
Once it bacame clear she would not get the nomination attention turned to Vice President. Not really a bad job, after all she would still have power, could control Obama, yes, she would accept the VP nod. Her aides and supporters waited...and waited...and waited. Obama said about her that she would be on anyone's short list . They waited..all the speculations, but her people knew in the end Obama would pick Hillary. Obama NEEDS Hillary. Obama....picked Joe Biden. Another Dis  BIG TIME DIS...Obama shot down any hope of her having at least a piece of the action, a part of the stage and he shot her down with a ...LOOSE CANNON! Joe Biden.
 
The Clinton's never forget. You do not disrepect them even once. Obama did it over and over defeat after defeat and now THIS. No coronation, no triumphant return to their rightful place and no Vice President. The Clinton's never, ever forget...

OBAMA BLAMES AMERICA AGAIN- THE AUDACITY OF IGNORANCE

Posted by Kevin on Friday, August 22, 2008 8:46:05 AM
Reuters carried a report yesterday that has not gotten any play in the main stream media. I first heard about it on Bill Bennett's Morning In America radio show today. At a rally yesterday Barack Obama responding to a question about the Russian invasion of Georgia said it was not acceptable BUT "It would help if WE led by example!"
  
Reuters, which is not a bastion of conservative thought, went on to say this was the first time Obama made the connection between the Russian invasion and our invasion of Iraq. Excues me!! The connection between Russia's invasion of Georgia and our invasion of Iraq??? Is Obama that naieve, inexperienced and IGNORANT that he can not make a distinction between Russia invading a peaceful soverign DEMOCRATIC country of four million people in an attempt to enslave it again as part of it's dictotorial empire, and our LIBERATION of Iraq, a nation of 25 million ruled by one of the most heinous and brutal and disgusting  dictators in modern history? We, who were backed by over a dozen UN resolutions and over 29 nations?
 
This ignorant fool wants to be President of the United States of America! He spends more time, when discussing foreign events, holding up to the world OUR supposed faults, short commings, mistakes - in other words bad mouthing our nation rather than being a spokesman FOR our Nation to other nations, reminding them of all the good we do and why it is millions and millions around the world do whatever it takes to come HERE! HERE...Mr. Community Organizer! NOT to the hell holes of the Arab nations, Not to Russia, China, Africa, Venezuela, Mexico...HERE, Mr. Obama! Why does that make you uncomfortable? Why do you squirm at the thought of America being the greatest Nation in the world? Why can't you and your ilk be proud of that? Why must you make excueses to your European Socialist Appeaser friends and supporters? WHY must you preface anyhing good you may accidentally say about this country with a statement of what you BELIEVE we do wrong? Is it the same reason your wife never found time to be proud of America until you decided God called you to save the Planet along with your Priestess, Nancy Pelosi? Let me put it this way Mr. Obama and  and expose you for what you really believe as I dont believe in nuance as do you...
 
 WHY DOES AMERICA EMBARRASS YOU Barack Hussein Obama?

IT'S THE NATIONAL SECURITY, STUPID!!!

Posted by Kevin on Thursday, August 21, 2008 1:20:14 PM
I think I will go out on a limb here with a prediction about the outcome of the election. For some time I have been having a feeling about this campaign I did not have two months ago.
 
 I am begining to believe more and more that the International situation will be THE defining issue of this election, not the Iraq war and Dems plan for defeat, not health care, not George Bush, not anything Obama has been talking about. Events on the International front have rapidly come together this summer in ways no one has really anticipated. 
 
Isreal is going to have to make a decision soon as to what to do about Iran and the threat they pose if they have nukes. Suddenly we have the Russian - Georgia war and the oblique threat to other former Soviet Republics. Russia's reaction to the Strategic missile defense shield and Poland's agreement with the U.S to be part of it. The Pakistan government is in continual crisis, Musharraf being finally forced out this week. The Taliban, Bin Laden et al reside in and around Pakistan and would love to get hold of her nuclear weapons. Members of  Pakistan's Army are known to support the Taliban.
 
Amabiganutjob in Iran has threatened to close the straights of Hormuz which would cripple the movement of oil from the middle east. The threat of another terror attack to coincide with our election cannot be ruled out, unfortunately, we are "due."
 
A few short months ago it looked like Democrats could be on their way to a three branch of Government sweep. Tired of eight years of George Bush and with a young, fresh, charasmatic face on the scene 2008 looked to be the year of the Democrats.
 
That was then, this is now. John McCain's campaign has come alive again after the Saddleback forum. At the same time and since his world coronation tour, Barack Obama's has headed the other way. Dems are scrambling to find issues to throw at Republicans. McCain's experience in this time of increasing international tensions looks mighty good about now and in stark contrast to Obama's total lack there of. There is a message the RNC and McCain campaign needs to repeat over and over and over in Ads, on TV, Radio, Internet, Billboards, where ever they can.
 
That message is : "Its the National Security, Stupid!"

LIBERALS REACT TO RELIGION AS VAMPIRES TO GARLIC

Posted by Kevin on Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:55:24 AM
Walk into a room crowded with Liberals and shout "Jesus" or "God"  or "I am a Christian" and what do you think would happen? Why the whole room would freeze in their tracks like deer cought in headlights!. There would be shakin and quakin! Sweat would cover the floor! Panic would set in!
 
The Liberal reaction to Religion is sort of like when you tie tin cans to the tail of a cat - watch what happens!!  (note: NO animals were hurt in preparing this post so all you Liberal animal rights nuts who think animals have more rights than babies don't bother sending nasty comments I don't care what you think). 
 
Since the Saddleback forum Liberals have complained the venue favored McCain. Rick Warren's questions to Obama were "unfair"...Oh they were? He asked the same questions to John McCain, didn't he? But I digress. Liberals and Religion are like putting matter and anti-matter together - you can't!
 
Whenever Liberals come in contact with Religion, especially Christianity, they have to do one of two things:
 
1.) Remove it.  Examples, School prayer, Bible reading in school and even a teacher having a Bible on the desk. Removing the ten commandments from a court house. Manger scenes in public places.
 
2.) Mock it. Like in  Liberal movies, TV shows, College campuses - Museums where displaying a religious painting or statue covered in filth is considered ART!, considered enlightened...Progressive!
 
Democrats shout that Conservatives do not have a monopoly on Religious values. Who do they strut out as examples of Liberal religious leaders?? The Rev Jesse Jackson, By the way, what church has he Pastered?? What church is he Assistant Paster of?  Rev Al Sharpton, the Rev Wright (who according to Obama was wrong), Father Pflager..need I go on??? So much for that argument!
 
Why this antipathy toward religion by Liberals? There are a couple of reasons, not the least is fear. Liberals would laugh at that.US? fear religion? Me thinks they doth protest too much! Liberals are afraid of religion because they fear THEY may be wrong. They can't rationalize being wrong about God, and sin and right and wrong.  To keep from having to deal with these concepts as true, they choose to ignore them and remove as much mention of them as possible. Anyone who would preach in public or in schools etc must be stopped. They hide behind the constitution crying seperation of church and state. The Constitution does NOT protect State from religion, it protects religion from the state. Unfortunately this has become twisted by... You guessed it...Liberal Judges. 
 
Yes, Liberals react to religion as vampires to garlic. I like that analogy, vampires are blood suckers. Liberals are blood suckers also. They suck the blood from our wallets and economy through high taxes and spending on wasteful, inept programs. They suck the blood of freedom of speech by blocking dissent on issues like human cause of global warming. They block dissent in schools and Universities, They want to  kill talk radio under the guise of a so called "fairness doctrine" and worse they are trying to suck the blood from our nation's religious heritage by denying it. by marginalizing it and any anyone who chooses to openly practice it. Liberals do react to religion as vampires to garlic..they can't stand it...they can not survive in it's presence!

WE CAN NOT TAKE OUR EYES OFF PAKISTAN

Posted by Kevin on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 1:57:38 PM
This week on the heels of Russia's invasion of Georgia a simmering hot spot may be heating up. President Musharraf has been forced to resign rather than face impeachment. Who cares, you may ask. What difference does it make who runs Pakistan?
 
Pakistan has nukes. Pakistan is right in the  middle of all the Muslim dominated "stans" including Afghanistan from where The Taliban and Al Qaeda cross back and forth at will. Since 911 When George Bush  basically gave Musharraf an offer he couldn't refuse, Pakistan has been a partner in the war on terror, if not a partner who probably is playing both sides. Get the picture?? a pretty muddled mess festering at a time of increased tensions with Russia, Iran, etc, etc.
 
 
Pakistan must get through the current turmoil resulting from the last election when Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. With the resignation of Musharraf, her widower is a top front runner to become President. In addition to all their obvious problems, Pakistan has the habit of electing leaders from a small stable of hack political families. Corruption is a way of life as in other countries in the area. So much for Religious values. 
 
America has it's eyes on an election for President and two conventions coming up. We are dealing with Russia-Georgia and trying to get Russia to withdraw . At any moment Isreal could decide now is the time to strike Iran before it gets nukes. We are dealing with high oil prices  - even a short lived oil embargo, or a natural disaster or sabatage in the mid East oil fields could cripple our economy. Continued high prices are wrecking the Air industry . Should prices reverse and go back up even higher than last month the Airline industry could be destroyed except for a very few offering flights to those wealthy enough to pay for the luxury.
 
The plate is very full, huh? Good time to put in the rookie, huh?? WRONG!!!! These are even more dangerous times than usual. It is my opinion that Pakistan just may become the number one or two international crisis facing us in the immediate future. A country with Nukes, and a large segment of it's population in favor of radical Islam and the likes of the Taliban and Al Qaeda hiding in its midst must be closely watched. Right now the world is like the Dyke with hole after hole needing to be plugged. As I write this Breaking news has developed where Russia announces it's reaction to the Missile Shield agreement between the U.S and Poland will go beyond diplomacy!! What does THAT mean...another hole..It needs our attention, BUT, We can not take our eyes off of Pakistan, mark my words!!

Barack Obama Kind Of Like Hurricain Fay

Posted by Kevin on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 8:35:06 AM
The predictions were ominous. The MSM sent their top guns to get ready for the arrival and aftermath. People all over the state were talking about it. Preparing, awaiting to see what would happen.
 
Yes, hurricain Fay was on her way. During the preliminaries, the "primaries" if you will, she scored hits on Puerto Rico, the Dominican, Cuba. Enough victories to get everyone's attention. Could this be...The next BIG one? The one we have been waiting for?
 
Anticipation grew and grew, and along with the media hype average people began to take notice, especially as she come off Cuba. What direction would she take?? At first it was supposed to be up the Gulf coast of Florida, or maybe out into the Gulf...NO WAIT, she started  to aim for Miami...NO, Ft Meyers, back and forth, flipping and flopping. Remind you of someone?
 
 BS Barack Obama came out of no where. dazzled the media, got the attention of ordinary people. He did damage in the primaries, knocking out opponent after opponent. He even destroyed the big prize, Hilary Clinton who was supposed to waltz her way to her entitled coronation.
 
Hurricains are fed by what? Hot air!  BS Obama's rise was caused by what? Hot Air!, lofty speeches that brought tingles to the legs of media types like Chris Mathews and caused some supporters to faint watching him speak. Obama continued on course to what pundants said would be sure victory....until...
until folks started to really look and see if he really was the BIG one, the one they had been waiting for. His strong eloquent delivery slowed in some areas, haltingness, stammering, hesitation..Hmm..could it be? could maybe like, he isn't what he was all cracked up to be. Flip Flops started just before landfall or The big event - the election. Issues beyond his conrol arose like wind shear knocking him off the course he had set for himself. Suddenly there was a rival storm and he aimed for the same course. He fought hard, made inroads. More and more people began to question, second guess, have buyer's remorse.
 
 TS Fay, the Hurricain that never was, finally came ashore this morning a mere tropical storm. Still a lot of wind and rain, still the potential to re-form but right now as I type here in Clearwater there is nothing!
 
Funny thing about wind and hot air. Once started it can not be controlled. Barack Obama is finding out what Fay did. Hype does not always translate into reality. Just ask President Al Gore, or President John Kerry....

CRY BABY LIBS CRYING FOUL?

Posted by Kevin on Monday, August 18, 2008 12:39:21 PM
I was not going to do a post today on the show down- hoe-down at Saddleback. I think I pretty much covered my take on the results in two posts. HOWEVER, We are learning that the Libs must be so shocked at McCain's performance that they are starting to accuse McCain of the possibility of cheating.
I, your humble Observer, can not resist commenting on this so I will. 
 
Apparently McCain was still enroute to the church during part of the first half of Obama's part of the program. While NO one has said McCain heard any of Obama's answers on radio, Libs and MSM types like Adrea Mitchel are putting out hints that some how that MAY have happened. The Lib Internet is also hyper-ventilating about this. 
 
First, I do not believe McCain OR Obama would cheat. Second both camps WERE given general info on topics that would come up. Not specific questions but topics, so all knew what to expect in general.
 
Even if you are a conspiracy nut like most Libs, what about the second 1/2 hour??? why was McCain Still running away with it? IF his first half performance was because he cheated, explain the second half that was just as good or better!
 
Democrats have a big problem. They apparently bought the wrong goods and now have buyer remorse. Too late to return for a new candidate, to give it to Hillary now would tear apart the Party and ensure a loss. At least with Obama they still have a shot at victory, though it is slipping away.
 
They can not accept that their messiah, their great leader, the greatest orator of our century could be loosing to a John McCain or any other Republican. There must be cheating!. Remember last Presidential election? One of Kerry's excuses was they could not get their message out!!. WHY? because of talk Radio and Fox News!!  Democrats can never believe that they loose BECAUSE THEY DID get their message out and it was rejected!
 
Claiming cheating now will only reinforce the weak, childish,whinning impression they and their canididate are already showing Americans!. Good for our side!
