COCK-A-DOODLE-DO

Well I guess those chickens are finally coming home to roost for Mr. Obama. I've got to laugh when I hear him point out that "people are really being 'unfair' to (him)". I mean, is he kidding us? This guy has been handled with kid gloves wrapped in silk since the day he crawled out of whatever hole he'd been in, and now, just because some Americans are concerned about a few legitimate issues...and are daring to question the great one, he feels he's being "persecuted".

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171 "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all."... Evidently Barak doesn't have quite the conviction of those words that we should expect...no, DEMAND of our president.

I mentioned these pictures that have been making their way around the internet at an increasing pace lately way back in the beginning of my postings (scroll down), but their relevance takes on new meaning in light of certain associations of this clown. Let's just all be honest here...what has this guy even brought to the table except some undefined, constantly shifting vision of "hope"? I've got to second the sentiment of Geraldine Ferraro, if he weren't black, he'd already be history.

Just the fact that it's even rumored that Obama had a friendship with William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn., members of The Weather Underground, A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, is startling. I mean, this guy could (God help us) very well be our next president. Here's where I know my fellow Americans who continue to support him have simply LOST THEIR MINDS, it ain't just a rumor, folks...Barak's confirmed the relationship. WTF? On top of that, we've got video of his pastor, I'm sorry, his "mentor", trashing this country and everything it stands for. We have documented statements from Obama's mouth where he blatantly puts down his white grandmother (the only person who didn't abandon him).

I've got, what I consider to be, in my opinion, a rather good theory on that. I once dated a guy who was adopted. Some jerk got his mom pregnant, when she notified him about the baby, the guy did a cut and run. Never even laid eyes on his son. The girl moved home with her parents and raised the boy until he was three. She finally decided one day that she couldn't hack it anymore and gave him up for adoption. The boy gets adopted by a large family in Nebraska who raise him into adulthood.

To me, it seemed, they provided every luxury of life for him. Even if they didn't...they took an orphan in, gave him food, gave him shelter...gave him a name. The boy hates these people. He left their home at 18 and has never gone back. He eventually found his birth mother when they both went looking for each other that same year and they have a casual relationship, but he has never found his real father.

His "father" has never come looking for him and it's funny, it's his birth father that he places on the pedestal. To him, his birth father is the one who is above reproach, the one with no culpability in the whole thing. Here's my thinking on it. His birth father rejected him from the start, so that was the love he needed the most. He couldn't understand why his "father" would not want him, so my ex built up this God-like myth of a man to represent his "father". It was easier for him to endure the belief that he wasn't good enough to be embraced by a God, rather than just a man. And since he never met the guy, he's never had to dispel that notion.

His birth mother accepted him for a while, then rejected him, so when they finally met up, he was more angry than awed. There was a lot of, 'why wasn't I good enough for you', resentment. I think, because of that, he saw his mother as a human being. A flesh and blood person capable of mistakes and although he desired her love and acceptance, receiving it, to him, wasn't akin to a fantasy. His adoptive parents chose him. They accepted him, unconditionally, from the word 'go'. He never had to work for their love, it was never something that existed only within the bounds of his imagination. Subsequently, he resented them. Probably as a child (which is what he was when they adopted him), in his child's heart and mind, he blamed them for the loss of his parents.

He never saw them as the people who helped him pick up the pieces, he viewed them as the ones who caused the plate to break. Further more, with Obama, he seems so willing to embrace his African heritage while at the same time, renouncing the 50% of Caucasian blood that courses through him. He's referenced his grandmother's racism. Now, I have a damn hard time accepting that this woman was a racist considering she was the ONLY one willing to take him in and raise him. Where did his paternal grandparents go? You know, the father's parents, the ones who weren't racists?

Listen, this is just how things are, ask any mixed-race person. When you're bi-racial and you're with white people, of course you feel black and when you're with black people, you're considered white. If it was the black grandparents who stuck around and he was brought up in a predominately African atmosphere, trust me, he'd be attending some backwood inbred radical KKK church in the lowlands of Arkansas and we'd be watching video of his pastor giving a sermon with a hood over his head.

And in case you're wondering how I can purport to understand such things; the ex I referenced was biracial. He had a Caucasian mother and a "father" from North Africa. So yes, I'm afraid Geraldine was right, he's survived because he's black. Not to discount the fact that people view him as this Kennedy-like orator. By all accounts, to be fair, he actually is. That is, unless, he is delivering one of his denial or, as I like to call them, his 'tempering the fury' speeches (which he's been giving at an alarmingly increasing rate lately). In the case of his mollification speeches, if you watch with unbiased eyes, he stutters and stammers and pauses and vacillates.

Granted, he is trying to defend the indefensible, but that's even more of a reason why he's got no business being where he is. I mean, let's even go back to the lapel flag thing. Barak explained that he hasn't worn the flag lapel in "a very long time". He's said, "I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest. I haven’t probably worn that pin in a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing a lapel pin, but not acting very patriotic.

Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. Instead I’m gonna’ try to tell the American people what I believe what will make this country great and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”

Huh? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit rhetoric to me. The truth of it is that Barak is part of the radical left. These are the people that truly despise America, somewhere inside them they think America is fundamentally wrong. That they've been done dirty, done in or done out, somehow ill served by this country. They want retribution for some indefinable offense committed against them or their kind. You know, all those people who were moving to Canada if Bush got re-elected. Apparently, all of their flights got delayed, because as far as I can tell, none of them left. Maybe they just realized that, even taking into account our flaws, no other country will ever afford them more opportunity, more freedom, (and no here's one for all you Obama girls) more hope than where they are now. How many other countries do people risk their lives crossing oceans on homemade rafts to sneak into? Our new motto should be: America: You don't love it; you're free to leave.

That's about all I wanted to get off my chest, but I'll leave you with this one last thing: I think Obama is the one exploiting the race card. He's trading on his interracial status as an answer to his complete lack of qualification. It's almost like, he thinks if he can redirect the spotlight from competence to inequity, he'll sway enough voters based on political posturing.

He views us as so easily manipulated, so simple and easily lead. He's an elitist who hates 50% of the population he seeks to preside over and truly believes all 100% of us, whether black or white are just a bunch of intellectual greenhorns. As always comments and discussion are encouraged.

Come Down Off That Fence Now, Johnny --Election 08

In a move that reaffirmed a prediction I documented in an earlier post (scroll down if you doubt me), Fox News is now reporting: Former Sen. John Edwards, in his first public speech since dropping his White House bid two months ago, praised Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama on Saturday, but declined to endorse either candidate. I said it before; he will ride the fence until he knows which way this is going to go.

He’s been cultivating this “elder statesman” image of late, fashioning himself after Al Gore. Best definition I can think of for what qualifies you as a democratic “elder Statesman” is this: a failed Presidential bid of your own. The thing that Edward’s fails to realize is that his endorsement may actually go a long way in swaying voters. His support, I believe will have more impact now, in light of the generally unflattering relationships of Obama’s that have come to the forefront.

Polls are showing that Obama has been hurt by certain associations. Middle America is most of the country, they still hold certain values and they’re certainly not along the lines of “God damn America.” His lack of experience during war and tough economic times are also issues that cannot be overlooked. Nor can they be compensated for with flowery speeches touting hope and revolution that appeal primarily to aging baby boomers and today’s youth.

These new revelations that have come out about Senator Obama have slowed his meteoric rise because they've finally caused a break in the momentum, created a moment for people to stop, step back and ask, “Who is this man? What has he done that qualifies him and what do we really know about him, anyway?” To which the answers, if we're being honest, have to be: “Who knows?” to the first question, and “Nothing much” to the final two. Hardly rousing endorsements. But Edwards wants the Vice Presidency so bad, he’s unwilling to commit, for fear his words won’t carry enough weight and he’ll endorse himself right out of a job.

The Fox article goes on to quote the former Presidential candidate as saying, “I have a very high opinion of both of them,” Edwards said at the Young Democrats of North Carolina convention. “We would be blessed as a nation to have either one of them as president.” If that’s not sitting on the fence, I don’t know what is. The story concluded by saying: Pressed by reporters to detail any endorsement plans, Edwards declined to say if he would even endorse a candidate before North Carolina’s May 6 primary.

Regardless of an Edwards endorsement, Senator Obama tends to feel that he’ll have the whole thing sewn up by June anyway, well in advance of the August convention, thanks to the superdelegates. Today, he aligned himself with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean in calling for uncommitted superdelegates to endorse a candidate soon after the final June 3 primaries in order to wrap up the race. Clinton, on the other hand, isn’t giving up. She’s arguing that the candidates owe it to voters to keep the campaign going.

Senator Obama is leading Clinton by 157 pledged delegates, but it’s still statistically impossible for either candidate to gain enough pledged delegates to lock down the nomination. That’s why he’s calling on all uncommitted delegates to endorse a candidate soon after the June 3rd primaries in order to wrap up the race. Obama is so cock-sure that he can’t lose and the numbers coming in after his most recent scandal do nothing to dispel the image he’s developed of political invincibility.

I just don’t think the democrats should get too comfortable with him; I’ve got a feeling this Jeremiah White thing is just the tip of the iceberg. What I do think is that if Edwards really wants to have a role in this election, he better get off the fence and help shape it. He needs to throw his support to Hillary because I just don’t know if Senator Obama’s personal life/ties/beliefs are going to hold up real well under scrutiny.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

It's a shame, considering the alternative, but I think it's probably curtains for the Clinton's. Ironically, it appears that they may have even split their own throats.

They just keep playing their cards wrong. It is a well established fact that Americans treat Obama with the reverence due a demi-god. Even when he is caught smack-dab in the middle of, what would be for any other politician, a career ending scandal, he somehow slides under it, to come out clean on the other side.

Armed with this knowledge, the Clinton camp should have doubled-up efforts to remain above the fray. They needed to refrain from any attacks until Obama launched the first negative ad. By Hillary hitting first, all it did was serve as a reminder of the ruthless Clinton years. It gave us a refresher course on the Win-At-All-Costs bunker mentality that pervades their whole political visage.

You can see it now in Hillary's face. She's aged 10 years since the start of this. Her hunger for power has exhausted her and etched her face with its need. Their past is coming back to haunt them. There are just way too many bodies buried in the Clinton backyard, it seems, for her to ever be able to beat a man with no past. As further evidence of the kid gloves handling proffered to Obama, I watched and listened in sheer amazement to John McCain's response when asked for his opinion of the whole Jeremiah Wright fiasco. McCain's response was that he knew Barak Obama and did not feel that Barak personally believed such things.

WTF? Now, assuming that Obama will be his opponent in the coming presidential race, I would have expected him to take such an opportunity and use it to his advantage, not give the guy a pass. The latest slap in the face is the rebuff from Nancy Pelosi in response to a letter sent to the speaker from a group of major contributors to the Democratic Party. They criticized her for statements she made saying superdelegates should support the presidential candidate with the most pledged delegates (citizen votes).

They strongly encouraged her to back away from previous comments and reaffirm that superdelegates should be free to back whichever candidate they believe would be the party's best nominee, not necessarily the will of the people. Now, it's well known that I think the whole concept of "superdelegates" is unconstitutional. Why should any one American's vote weigh more heavily in determining an election's outcome? That aside, I think Pelosi (the one most convinced of her own importance) is loath to see Hillary win the nomination and then the election, as well because she doesn't want to give up being the most powerful female in Washington.

Sources said Pelosi was infuriated by the implied threat that the donors would quit giving cash to the committee. In a public display of defiance, the speaker of the House would not back down and continues to insist that superdelegates respect "the decisions of millions of Americans who have voted," her aide Brendan Daly said.

Lately, Billary have been getting it from every angle. Sadly, it's all undoubtedly well deserved. What scares me is that because of their past transgressions, there's a good possibility that we're going to end up with an untested, unproven, random unknown running this country into the ground.

Even BaskinRobbins Gives Us 31 Choices--Election 08

I got a comment sent to me today that pretty much sums up this whole election experience (debacle). “It’s a catch 22,” was how he put it. I couldn't agree more. Regrettably, the reader went on to say, “He (Obama) is the lesser of the two evils,” that’s where I have to totally disagree and I’ll get to why in a minute. To make my first point, let me just say: even BaskinRobbins gives us 31 flavors from which to decide. I think when voting on the leader of the free world our choices should be at least as varied as Black Walnut, Lemon Custard, Pink Bubblegum and Rum Raisin. And I mean, come on, by virtue of the system we've embraced, we're already guaranteed a pretty limited candidate buffet for our voting pleasure. But in the political equivalent of: here's spit in your eye; come this November, we get screwed twice. Not only do we lack quantity, if the race winds up being played out along the lines it looks like it's going, we seriously lack quality, as well. On one hand is the possibility of being represented by a dinosaur who's unlikely to even make it through his second full term alive and behind door number 2, no Johnny, it's not a new car, it's: a black racist who hates America. Let me tell you why we're in this predicament. It's America's continued insistence on a two party system. Our fear of breaking with tradition and really supporting a third, even fourth party candidate. Tradition is nice; until it stagnates, then it begins to strangle the sentiment from which it was born. We need to let go of the customary, yet antiquated conventions so deeply ingrained in the American political process if we want to be a nation that continues to thrive. Hell, we need to let them go if we want to be a nation that continues to exist. Like many a great empire before us, dissension from within may prove our undoing. In the mean time, we're stuck with two turkeys to choose from. Personally, I'm waiting to see who McCain is going to pick up for a running mate, because there's a better than average chance that by voting for McCain, his VP will eventually be advanced by default. And then there is Obama. Now I won't go as far as to say Obama hates white people, but he sure does resent us. Could you just imagine the uproar if Obama was attending a white church and a white priest was saying such things about black people? Lordy, we'd have Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and every other blowhard preacher with an affinity for getting his face on TV out picketing and marching and stirring up a racial shitstorm the likes of which have never been seen. Know what Sharpton's response to Jeremiah Whites sermons was? "We need to be careful that we're not taking his words out of context." Hey Al, your hypocrisy is showing. What do you think it's going to do for race relations if we elect a president who agrees with the vilification of just about half the country? And spare me the, ‘he wasn’t there…he didn’t know’ excuse. HE KNEW. You don’t go 20 years to the same place where racial loathing and national division is repeatedly spewed and somehow not know. Even if (and this is hard to believe) over the 20 years that he was a member of the congregation and maintained a personal relationship with the Reverend, Mr. Obama didn’t hear Reverend Wright’s hate filled diatribes first hand, it’s just impossible to swallow that he never heard ABOUT them. I’m a member of a close-knit church and let me tell you, when the priest gives a powerful homily, it’s discussed. It was because of that blatant lie in the face of the “give us a break, how stupid do we look” response from America, that Obama ceased to be the hope of a new day and became just another politician. It was right then when he became interchangeable with the rest of his ilk. Those who’ll lie to contradict the obvious, who will lie just to further their own gain. So I guess, between the lesser of the two evils, a dinosaur or an anti-American, I’ll take the dinosaur, hands down, any day. I'm of the definite opinion that race should never ever even be an issue here, because Barak is neither black nor white...he's transparent. He is politics as usual, just with newer skin. He's still peddling the wheels of political chicanery, with his soundbites and pretty, but empty ideas. He's all form, no substance and the only reason his machine is still moving forward is because the whole damn country is, for some reason, giving him a free pass to remain an empty shell. He reminds me of those pull string dolls that have 3 or 4 pre-recorded sayings. He never varies from his script and he never expands on it either. What gets me the most is that no one is even demanding that he does. The whites are supporting him to try to assuage a lifetime of subconscious ancestral guilt and the blacks are so damn happy to have one of their own at the top that nobody is stopping a minute to take a step back and realize, the reality of it all. Once we get over the novelty of having an African American residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we're going to need to come to terms with the fact that we've basically got a squatter in the White House. I'm not saying on the surface he doesn't have charisma. Hell, he'd make a great ad exec or used car salesman, but a President, he ain't. Unless of course, the platform he's basing his domestic policy on actually is , 'smoke n' mirrors'. If that's not the case than come November and he's our fearless leader, it'll be worse than the blind leading the blind. We will have followed him unquestionably, like lambs to the slaughter. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves, because the writing was on the wall. He doesn't even try to hide his inadequacy, he's actually embraced it as part of his charm. I mean, my God, even his “apology” speech was painfully contrived. For a man who supposedly speaks so eloquently, he sure was choking on those words of denial. And not for nothing: Barak, but if you’re going to stand before America and try to make a case for your own ignorance in regards to over 20 years of your pastor's anti-white, anti-American invective, it’d seem so much more sincere if you could at least look us in the eye when you’re lying to us and not just read the whole damn thing from the Teleprompter.
