Obama and "Foot in Mouth" disease

When it comes to reading a teleprompter and giving a written and prepared speech, Barack , the junior senator from Ill, who would be president, is excellent. However, when not given a script to read and needing to think on his feet----he has a tendency to not be so glib. Yesterday, thinking on his own---even his leftist handlers would not have approved of his remarks, me insinuated that Gov. Palin was a pig----talk about foot in mouth???
Since the selection and nomination of Gov. Palin, as Senator McCains running mate---women and independent registerred voters have been pouring over to support the Repubs nominees for President and vice president. I am sure Barack is well aware of this loss of support that he had previously felt he had. The kid from Haavard, his elite education, all the support of the leftist liberal media, a year and a half running all over the country making speeches, making himself "the one", crowning it with his grand tour of Europe, (paying for 300 members of the elistist leftist liberal press to go along with him to document how much Europe loved him. the polls here in the USA showing him to be leading by several percentage points in the race for the Presidency. It is my opinion this period of time will show this is where his Candidacy reach its High Water mark.
He spurned a visit to the American wounded, preferring instead to bath in the large crowds of foreigners applauding his appearance (they're way of thanking him for the popular rock concerts that his handlers scheduled to guarantee big crowds). (He lost MY respect and vote with that decision alone---and he still hasn't bothered to offer an apology for the insult to our wounded)
Then of course we all know about his relations with the Clinton's and how he manipulated the convention and ended up choosing the old man of the senate Joe Biden (which didn't sit to well with the Hillary people)
Then John McCain selected for his running mate a women, Gov. Sara Palin from Alaska, who electrified the whole political spectrum with here acceptance speech----between the Republicans putting a women on their ticket, one not approved of by the old guard feminists ruled by Gloria Steinem, and everyone seeing and hearing how a conservative women, managed to raise a family, combine it with a career, and now running for Vice President of the country----well the leftist liberal media has become totally unglued----women voters, independent voters , and the undecided voters are now flocking to the McCain/Palin ticket. This is not just an opinion, this is a fact----Obama and the leftist liberal media are shocked and stunned. They have managed through they're excess trashing of Gov. Palin---awakened the silent majority----.
People don't much like being told, that if they didn't go to one of the big ivy league schools that we are just trash, and to ignorant to be allowed to vote. How could a person ,educated at Haavard, be so stupid as to tell "lipstick jokes" , after Palin's speech----maybe the price of a Haavard education needs to be reviewed?

Gloria and the Donks

Today I see the Feminist Gloria Steinem has a piece out dissing the Republicans VP candidate, Gov. Sara Palin. That Gloria is not happy with Gov. Palin is of course no surprise, after all She showed up at the republican convention wearing a skirt----and Gloria ,co-founder of Ms. , THE feminist Magazine and the arbiter of just who is and who isn't a proper feminist, couldn't NOT let it be.

In her diss of Gov. Palin, Gloria went off on one of her own personal rants regarding HER concept of what Feminists are all about. and made the following conclusive statement,

"---- American women, who suffer more because of having two full-time jobs than from any other single injustice, finally have support on a national stage from male leaders who know that women can't be equal outside the home until men are equal in it. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are campaigning on their belief that men should be, can be and want to be at home for their children."

I have read that statement a number of times and I have to say, not once have I ever got that impression of "Brick" or Joe.  I mean in all of the many bills Obama has introduced in the state senate of Illinoise, or in the last four years in the National Senate---not one of his bills talks to that conclusion reached by Gloria.  Now I say that , because I think it really underlines how out of touch Gloria is with todays Modern American Women---which I do believe is very much illustrated today by the example of Gov. Sara Palin.

In this forthcoming national election I think for the first time American Women are being offerred a choice, --do they want as their representative, reflected by a Ivy League educated, proper membership in the just right social organizations (just ask Gloria for the list---they will me mostly centered in the NewYork/Boston area---anything located west of there is ---well just not cosmopolitan enough)-----OR is todays women , a hockey mom, PTA member, raising a family, and holding down a job as well.?? 

That question is keeping both parties in a tizzy------and regardless of which party wins the election, I think what we are seeing is the death knell of the old line Feminist movement  and the onset of a womens movement that  is for partnership, and not the old  "us versus them" school represented by Gloria and the original founders of the feminist movement.------time will tell.  Right now  Gov. Palin is drawing monster crowds.
    

TONIGHT THE WORLD WILL WATCH

Tonight at the Republican convention, Gov. Palin, will address the convention, not to mention the entire United States and I am sure most of the rest of the world.. Since the announcement by John McCain, that he has nominated her as his running mate, I have watched the leftist media, literally froth at the mouth, stunned, almost in a total panic, unable to decide how to deal with her reality. A self proclaimed "Hockey Mom", but one who has also been a Mayor of a small town, but worked her way up through the political ranks, and got herself elected Governor, as a Mayor, got things done for her town, as Governor weeded out the corruption when she found it, got property taxes lowered (not a politician that nobly speaks of doing such things ---but doing them.
The liberals don't get it---THEY THINK, she was nominated to garner the votes of the unhappy Hillary women (the donks believe that women stick together and vote for each other I guess), but NO, that's not why she was selected? She was selected because she has a track record of getting things done, regardless of which party she is dealing with, its just happens to be a fact that she is a women , a hockey mom, and a proud member of the NRA----In short she is the Liberal leftists Boogyman-----
Tonight she addresses the Republican convention as the nominee for Vice President of the Richest, most powerful, most open democracy in the history of the world---and the entire country, and the world will listen to her speech----listen to the "USA" chants ----tonight I think will be most interesting for us all----regardless of party affiliation---Damn I love the USA.

Labor Day 08

Here in Southern California our Labor day is blessed with sunshine, and lil white puffy clouds. To those that would be quick to complain about that (IE pessimists, and democrats) sorry, maybe you should trek on down to the gulf coast---and enjoy Gustav.
This seasoned veteran, having now observed no less than an even dozen Presidential campaigns, am totally charged up for this one in 2008. Holy smokes people, we got ourselves a race involving a blackman and a woman---the whole world is watching. How Racist is modern America-------how Sexist is the USA?? Then we got the whole shebang of liberal, versus conservative thinking on any number of major issues, such as Energy, Education, Economy.
However the nature of these political drives over the years has evolved into a circus of 30 second soundbites. We will get no detailed explainations of what the Candidates plans for the country really are. The Donks are against offshore drilling for example, their reasons for that being it will take 20 years before any significant oil can be brought to the refineries, and we need it now---I have no idea what they suggest we do that will give us relief from the independence on foreign oil we would liek to have.
The Donks loudly cry about all the things wrong with the country, you heard a long list of these complaints harped to death at their convention---and its healthy to have that kind of outlet for ones frustrations. Unfortunately after a brief time it becomes kinda depressing to hear somebody be so negative about their country. I noticed too that there was alot of positive buzz in the Donks convention, with chants of HILL-A-RIE! HILL-A-RIE!!, and for Obama ----notice howver the republican gatherings they were more prone to chant "USA!! USA!! USA!!", WHICH I find to be more positive.
The Liberals (aka progressives or Democrats) will make a big issue out of Gov. Sara Palin's lack of foreign Experience. I find that kinda amusing---considering the Donk's candidate doesn't have much experience in that arena either---oh wait he did go to Europe acouple weeks ago didn't he---I remember now, he was to busy doing photo opts with the leaders of France and Germany---he didn't have time to visit our wounded in the hospital there---(YA LOST MY VOTE RIGHT THERE KID).
I read and hear a lot of comments from the liberal Donks who blame everything negative on George Bush, call him cute lil names, but thats okay, its an election year---its just so appalling to see so much ignorance of the facts of how our government actually works. Its the Congress people, its the national legislature (the Senate and the House of Representatives) that enact all the laws, make the budgets---ask Senator Biden, he has been in the Legislature longer than any one individual has in the entire History of our Country-----now he's nominated by Obama to be his Vice President---the candidate of "Change"?? Seems to me on the other Party , with the nomination of a women to be Vice President----nows THERE is some real refreshing "change" being offerred to the voting public. A real modern woman who is the mother of 5 children, who has worked her way up through the ranks and now nominated as Vice President of the Entire Country---she sure aint no clone of "Hillary" Gov. Palin not only talks the talk, she walks the walk----. I surely believe that "Reaganism" is alive and well in the Repulican Party and its time this country started being Proud---I'm Tired of the liberals putting our country down----.

---The Hillary Has Spoken

Yesterday Hillary had her moment in the sun at the Donk's Party. After all the hoopla and hype building us all up on our toes for it, IT, not unlike the poorly run , "wait for the text" game , turned out to be a non event also.
This non-event kinda further underlines that the "Brickster" has peaked to early and is now sinking in the polls. Since February 1oth, 2007, the American Public has been bombarded almost on a daily basis, a steady diet of how "Brick" was THE MAN----one who would bring "Change", and bring fresh air into the government.
Now here we are some 18 long months later---and what do we really know about "Brick"? He fired his Minister of some 20 years, (seems the minister made the mistake of getting bigger headlines than Brick!), he out libbed Hillary to get a lock on the convention delegates but then once that was done began to reposition himself publicly----yes he would still get the troops out of Iraq---but instead of bringing them home, he would reposition them in Afghanistan.
He made the grand tour of Europe, complete with rock n roll concerts to guarantee big crowds, and actually had the chutzpah to explain to the American public the reason he couldn't visit the wounded troops in Germany, was that it would be seen as being staged for politics-----yet shaking hands with the movers and shakers of France and Germany wasn't?? (you think the powers of France and Germany) were gonna miss a little PR with the American President wannabee----he must have truly amused them.
The Europe Road show----was the high water mark of the "Brickster's" campaign so it seems as the polls now show he has gone from the lead to second choice of the American Public. The Donk's candidate for President, the man who would bring us Change---his first decision, pick a VP, and who does he go to?----he picks Joe Biden. The one Washington DC resident who has been a DC insider longer than anyone else in the history of the American Government. (Hows THAT for change?) Some of the Donks had been firmly convinced that he would Pick Hillary as his Veep choice----but then again, She might get more press that he did---and well we saw what happened with his Minister of some 20 years.
Tonight at the Donk's gala in Denver, we will get to hear Speeches from Bill Clinton, The President that made "Intern" a national lampoon. and from Joe Biden, the man who won the "Wait for the text" game "Brick" had played with the press. It will be Joe's assignment to play the "attack dog" role and lambaste McClain. Whereas its Bills job to smooth over the rift between the old democrats and the youngun's, so his speech will praise Hillary, praise
Brick, and just be all nice and toasty. On the other hand-----maybe he will praise Hillary, and let the delegates make of that what they will.----but then again, the whole "Brickster" show is really getting kinda a tired look to it---its been on the road a year and a half now. I myself will be watching the first Season of "Monk", the writing is better and so is the acting.
