Yes, I did find a better look for the Blog. I know, the ads are over lapping. I am going to working on that. Please bear with me, while I fix things a bit.

No smart McCain, Not smart at all
Really smart McCain, really smart. Blow off your Republican Conservative Media base for the Liberal Media.
Watch it:
I don’t know if the maverick knows this or not, but the Conservative media could turn on him on a dime. He is already doing poorly in the polls and the next to the Obamassiah, he looks like an out of touch fool. So, if I were McCain, I would be kissing the collective ass of the Main Stream Conservative Media. Because they could, in effect, bury his campaign in a New York minute.

Democrat’s Senate Energy Bill flops, because of Democrat Stupidity
This does not surprise me in the least, as I have often said, we need to close the Enron loophole AND increase production.
Via Reuters:
Quote:
Legislation to rein in excessive energy speculation failed a key procedural vote on Friday to move forward in the Senate, and now lawmakers will set aside the bill to consider other legislation.
The House of Representatives may take up its own anti-speculation bill next week, and then lawmakers will get
ready to leave for their month-long recess in August. Sixty "yes" votes were required in the 100-member Senate for the bill to move forward, but the measure received only 50 "yes" votes, while 43 lawmakers opposed.
Senate Democrats said the legislation was needed to give the government new powers to curb speculators, whom many lawmakers accused of being behind the run-up in crude oil and gasoline prices.
So, why did the Democrats shelve this very important bill? Because they wanted to end the speculation WITHOUT loosening the tight regulations of drilling for oil, that’s why! 🙄
Quote:
Senate Republicans strongly opposed the bill because it focused only on speculation, and they argued the legislation should be modified to also boost U.S. oil production by allowing more offshore drilling and developing vast oil shale fields in the West.
Republicans said tight petroleum supplies that were unable to keep up with demand were the cause of high energy prices.
"Americans are insisting we do more. They want us to do something to cut the price of gas and lessen our dependence on Middle East oil," said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
"And so I ask my friends (Democrats) on the other side the same simple question I asked them yesterday: If you won’t act now, with dialysis patients cutting back on treatments because of high gas prices, when will you? What is it going to take?" McConnell said.
However, instead telling the truth about the elitist, limousine Democrats, who really do not care if the gas of prices tops 5 to 8 dollars a gallon, instead scary Harry Reid, The idiot Mormon piece of crap, says this, spinning the pointed head top that he is..:
Quote:
"Republicans once again have run away from an opportunity to provide a short-term solution to our energy crisis," Reid said. "While Democrats have worked to stop greedy speculators who artificially inflate oil prices, Republicans have chosen to protect them.
Leave it to the idiot Democrats, to stall the wheels of progress and prevent relief at the pump, because they want to regulate everything so damned tightly. As, of all people, Howard Stern put it, "They’re nothing but damned commies."
Amen, Howard, they are commies. They’re also commies who do not like to be criticized as well. It seems that Scary Harry Reid got a little hot under the collar over the way the press was covering him. Two words for that feckless Mormon piece of garbage; TOUGH SHIT!
Do you NOW see why I left the "Left of Center" position?!?!?!?!

Snort Worthy Quote of the day
Seen over at Politico.com:
This groundbreaking moment? Which reminds us of what Republican consultant Doug Heye said on FNC over the weekend: “We don’t want President Hasselhoff.”
*snort*

My thoughts on Obama in Berlin Germany
Okay, Here are my thoughts on Barack’s speech and about him being overseas.
First off, I don’t know how many readers of Hotair.com come over here and read my Blog. But in case you didn’t notice, I left early from Ed’s Show today. Why? Here’s why, okay?… and just hear me out. I’m just getting tired of it all. I’m getting tired of listening to Conservatives and their lame ass bullshit. What am I talking about? The sifting through Obama’s speeches to see if he contradicts himself. The constant lame ass mocking of his campaign. The very idiotic attempt to paint him as something that he isn’t. First it was that he was some sort of psudo-Muslim, Then it was a communist, then it was an elitist. It is all just stupid nonsense. In fact, I’ve just taken the sidebar ad off, with the link to the two sites, the one, that is run by pissed off Democrats and Hillary supporters and the other run by a Conservative, that makes a bunch of totally unproven accusations against Obama.
My biggest question to those who take some sort of warped pleasure in doing this is, have you people bothered to stop and look at how lame and stupid John McCain is making the Republican Party look? I know, Obama has made some gaffes, but has anyone bothered to check out how many gaffes McCain has made? The are just about equal, if not more.
As for what Barack did in Germany, I watched what little the drive by media showed. There were 200 thousand people there, and not the very little that was said over on Ed’s Show. The man, quite frankly, kicked some serious ass. He has upstaged John McCain and made him look like an out of touch old fool. The argument by the Conservatives that what he did was reserved for Presidents is quite frankly non-sequitur. Obama is not only running for President of the United States of America, he is running for the position of the leader of the damn free world. The quicker the Conservatives figure this out, the better off they will be. The problem is that the Republicans are more interested in droning the same ol’ lame assed, stale talking points, over and over and over and over, to the point sounding like someone with a bad case of tourettes syndrome.
I guess what I am a bit dismayed over, is the fact that talking points have become more popular than substance in this election, especially by the Republicans and Conservatives. It just gets old. I am just getting tired of the same stuff everyday. Nothing original, nothing new, just stale talking points.
I think that the best thing that the Republican Party and the Conservatives as a whole can do, is to accept the fact that John McCain is going to lose this election and get in the mode of working towards 2012. I mean, what the hell can John McCain run on?? He has zero credentials with the Economy or how to handle it. The war in Iraq is a big issue, but this economy is a much broader issue. It just seems that the more McCain tries to tout his leadership credentials, the more of buffoon he appears to be.
I’m saying all this because, quite frankly, I am just tapped out. I need a break from this headline chasing. So, tomorrow, unless some earth shattering headline demands me to write. I will be taking the day to just relax and not try and do this political opinion crap. I also may take the entire weekend off. I really need it. Because at this point, this whole blogging thing is quite frankly, starting to suck really bad.

Richard Simmons…..for Congress….Wha?
(H/T HotAir)
Now I know that Politics has entered the silly season!
Richard Simmons — Congressman? (Via CNN Political Ticker)
Fitness star and effervescence extreme Richard Simmons is on Capitol Hill today, tackling the issue of childhood obesity and pushing for increased school exercise programs. But as he testifies before the House Education and Labor Committee, the 60-year-old is nodding toward that celebrity siren song: political office.
In a half-serious, half-jocular tone, Simmons described his approach to the hearing, saying, “I want to have the respect of a congressman, I want to talk like a congressman, and maybe, someday, I’ll be a congressman.”
During three minutes of follow-up questions, Simmons displayed an almost Washingtonian flare for avoiding a direct position. “However I can be of use,” he said, “If my country wants me, I’ll be there for my country.”
So has no plans to run?
“Well,” he answered coyly, “I don’t know. I may run for office. You never know.”
Egad. What’s next? Pee Wee Herman? 🙄

Editorial: The Edwards “Affair” Story and the Main Stream Media
There is nothing that quite annoys me more than anything else, and that is to have to repeat myself on this Blog and in my writings in general. However, this one of those times when a repeat and a formal editorial on one of the most idiotic stories to ever hit the blogging world is stubbornly refusing to die.
As some of you might have read here earlier, there is a story floating around in the scandal sheets that John Edwards is having an extra martial affair with another woman. I commented on it very briefly once already. However, it seems that this annoying story is now taking a very different turn. The Bloggers on the Conservative side of the aisle, lacking anything substantive to Blog about are continuing the discussion about it.
Some of these Conservative Bloggers are wailing rather loudly about the Main Stream Media’s lack of coverage of this particular story and are asking why is it not being covered by them.
Ladies and Gentleman of the Blogging community let me give you the professional answer to the provocative question that has been looming in the Blogsophere. The reason why the Main Stream media, so far, has refused to cover this rather idiotic story can be summed up into two great words, which are not commonly found in the world of Blogging and those words are; Journalistic Integrity.
Journalistic Integrity is a common mode of practice in most newsrooms across the country. It is the law that dictates as to how the news is reported. It is the law the tells the political news reporters not to harp on a story that was first found in a scandal rag that is more noted for it’s bald faced lies, than it is for it’s honesty in reporting. It is the law that tells reporters that they are not to attempt to ruin the life of a man, who has spent his entire life helping people, all over a story that is simply nothing more than some fabulist’s creative writing project.
Politics aside, this story, that is being heralded on some political Blogs as some conspiracy theory to cover up a man’s wrong doing. This is something that could ruin a man’s life, and personally, I think that any Blogger that would knowingly pass this story on knowing that it is false, Frankly, I think that man is nothing more than a simple-minded bastard.
To my fellow Bloggers, to those of you who still have any sort of human conscience still left within you. I ask of you, as a fellow Blogger. I ask you, as a fellow Conservative. I ask you as an American, as a fellow human being. Please, for the sake of the Edwards family. For the sake of Elisabeth Edwards, who, by the way, is dying of cancer, let this bastard story die the proper death.
Ladies and Gentleman, we are Americans and we can do better than this. I, like many other Conservative Bloggers, share a high disdain of the socialist agenda of the Liberal Democratic Party. However, I find the repeating of a story that frankly sounds like it was the work of a high school fabulist writer, to be unconscionable.
It has been said and it has been sung, and it has have been written in the Bible, that there is a time and place for everything. This not the time, nor is it the proper place, nor is it the proper story. Let us show the Liberal Blogging community that we are the political ideology of integrity and respect and not the party of petty back alley childish foolishness.
The Republican Party is already in a crisis state, this would only add to that crisis. Let us not be foolish in our doings.
What REALLY happened on Obama’s visit to Afghanistan
This, an e-mail from someone in the USAF, It comes via Blackfive, where you can read the whole thing.
Quote:
As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand, he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
Unbelievable. Tammi says she’s not voting for him, and I know I will not be either.

Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Chuck Baldwin Says “The Religious Right Is AWOL From The Real War”
I am reposting this here, because I believe that it is an important read:
The Religious Right Is AWOL From The Real War
By Chuck Baldwin
July 23, 2008
This column is archived at
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.
I want to begin this column with one of my all-time favorite quotes. It
comes from the great German reformer Martin Luther. He said, “If I profess
with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of
God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at
that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be
professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier
is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight
and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”
Luther’s trenchant statement reminds us that today’s Christians, especially
our Christian leaders, are conspicuously absent from the field of battle.
Oh, they may host large crowds in their gatherings; they may deposit
multiplied millions of dollars in their financial accounts; they may receive
thunderous applause from politicians, but they have fled the battlefield at
the point of attack.
For the record, the real battlefield today is not abortion. It is not
homosexual marriage. It is not Social Security. It is not al Qaeda. It is
not taxes. It is not inflation. It is not electing conservatives. It is not
posting the Ten Commandments. It is not even the high cost of gasoline. That
is not to say that those issues are not important and not deserving of our
best efforts and attention, because they are. But those issues do not
represent the major battlefield today.
The battlefield where the devil has amassed his greatest forces and is
thrusting his deadliest armies is the surrender of our national sovereignty
and independence, and the creation of global government. And it is our own
political and corporate leaders that are facilitating this chicanery.
Furthermore, by refusing to oppose this surrender, our Christian leaders are
complicit as well.
Obviously, the surrender of our independence has been ongoing for some time.
However, under Bill Clinton and especially under G.W. Bush, the pace has
quickened exponentially.
Doubtless, the biggest reason President Bush has more aggressively hastened
the pace of America’s merger into supranational government is because he
enjoys widespread support among evangelical Christians. Absent opposition
from Christian leaders, G.W. Bush has virtually had a free hand. And please
know this: before Bush was a Republican, before he was a “conservative,”
before he was a Christian, he was and is a globalist, as was his father and
grandfather before him.
Because our national Christian leaders are content to revel in the lap of
political cronyism with President Bush (and the Republican Party), they have
abandoned their positions as watchmen on the wall. Instead of being watchmen
and heralds of truth, they have become political lackeys and toadies for the
GOP.
Now, just yesterday, James Dobson declares that he “might” support John
McCain. This in spite of the fact that only a few months ago Mr. Dobson
promised, “I cannot and I will not vote for Sen. John McCain as a matter of
conscience.”
Ah, but that is just the problem: when it comes to groveling before the GOP,
our Christian leaders have no conscience. Hence, James Dobson is now
publicly saying he “might” support McCain.
The ones who are doing the yeoman’s work in trying to warn the American
people to what is happening in regard to the surrender of our country’s
liberties and independence are people such as Congressman Ron Paul and Dr.
Jerome Corsi.
Many of you know Corsi as the man who co-authored the Number 1 New York
Times best-seller, “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against
John Kerry.”
Jerome Corsi holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science. He
is not some fringe-radical (not that Harvard hasn’t produced its own
radicals). Religiously, my understanding is that Corsi is either a Roman
Catholic or Episcopalian. However, Corsi is doing what James Dobson, Tony
Perkins, et al. should be doing, but aren’t: he is sounding the trumpet of
truth for the real battlefield.
In a nutshell, Corsi warns us that G.W. Bush is secretly working to merge
the United States into a trilateral government with Canada and Mexico. Corsi
maintains that back in March of 2005, President Bush, Mexican President
Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin entered into an
agreement that binds the three countries into a regional or hemispheric
government.
Corsi insists that this is one of the central reasons why Bush is so adamant
about granting amnesty to Mexico’s illegal aliens. Bush is simply following
through with his commitment to Fox and Martin.
Corsi also notes that this new hemispheric entity already has a name. It is
called the North American Union (NAU), and it is being created without any
input (or even knowledge) from our legislative or judicial branches of
government. The official name of the agreement made between the three
leaders is the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP).
Obviously, the new NAU is modeled after the already established European
Union (EU).
Folks, please be aware that President Bush has already committed the United
States to a regional or hemispheric government. When completed, this
regional government will control everything relative to the “security” and
“prosperity” of this new North American Union. That includes everything
relating to travel, law enforcement, trade, education, military matters,
etc. So, what is left out? Nothing.
Please remember, too, that all of this is being done without any input from
the American people or their elected representatives at the state or federal
level. I would even dare say that the vast majority of congressmen and
senators are completely oblivious to the fact that this is even happening.
With the attention of the American people (and Congress) focused on the
Middle East, Bush and his cabal of elitists are moving forward with plans to
surrender our national independence and merge our country into a regional
government. Friends, this is the real war; this is the real battlefield.
When America loses its sovereignty and independence, we will lose all of our
fundamental liberties. The Constitution will be meaningless and irrelevant.
The Bill of Rights will be moot. The principles of religious liberty, the
right to life, and the Christian foundation of our country will be passé.
And, as I said at the outset of this column, our national leaders,
especially our Christian leaders, are totally absent from this battlefield.
The surrender of our national sovereignty and independence is where the
battle currently rages; it is where the devil is at this moment attacking
(to quote Luther). But where is the Religious Right? They have flinched and
fled in the face of battle. They would rather hold onto their precious perks
of power within the ivory towers of partisan politics. Luther is right:
their actions are disgraceful.

Faux Liberal Outrage Number 350,435,987
Here we go again….. Remember that statement that McCain made yesterday? The one where he spoke the gritty truth about the Marxist magic negro running for President?
Now it is seems that the Obama worshiping jackass Joe Klein is having a commie liberal meltdown over it.
Quote:
This is the ninth presidential campaign I’ve covered. I can’t remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad.
Sorry Joe, but for once, John McCain spoke the truth about that empty suit, commie liberal negro running for President.
I guess after feeling the heat, Joe comes back and leaves a rather lame update to his article:
Quote:
The reality is that neither Barack Obama nor Nouri al-Maliki nor most anybody else believes that the Iraq war can be “lost” at this point. The reality is that no matter who is elected President, we are looking at a residual U.S. force of 30-50,000 by 2011 (a year ahead of the previous schedule). The reality is that McCain should be proud that he helped salvage a disastrous situation by pushing the counterinsurgency plan. It’s something to run on. But, at this point, McCain must sense that it’s not a winning hand. Obama, the poker player, has drawn to an inside straight: the Iraqis favor his plan over McCain’s long-term bases. That must be galling. But it’s no excuse to pop off the way McCain did. It was, shockingly, unpresidential.
UnPresidential? UnPresidential?!?! UnPresidential?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I suppose going over to Iraq on a basic Dog and Pony show with faked interviews is Presidential?
I suppose not being able to admit that the Surge has actually WORKED is Presidential?
I suppose his continual flip-flipping on everything under the damn sun, is Presidential?
I suppose Obamas ever expanding list of Gaffes are Presidential?
Hell, if that’s Presidential man, just appoint a damn dictator and get it the hell over with, because, quite frankly, I would rather live under the rule of a communist dictator, than to have to live with the closet Communist negro President that is a bigger bumbling idiot that the current one we have in there now.

Just letting everyone know….
Yes, I am aware of the delay in the Blog’s page loading time. Something, Somewhere is causing the Blog to load at a very slow speed. One of the ads or a bum server or something. I’ve yet to track it down. It’s 5:11 A.M. and I’ve tried removing some Ad code that I thought was suspect. But it is still doing it. I’m going to try a few other things tomorrow and see what happens.
Either way, I’ll keep you all informed.

Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World
Yeah, I’m still miffed at him, for some rather stupid and insensitive remarks that he and some of his cohorts made. But he does a have a point here:
I mean the misspelling of education, during, of all things, an education spot, is just downright funny. 😛
The poll thing goes without saying….
But the biggest of all, Bill O’ comparing Al Gore going to a Netroots convention, to a Klan meeting? That takes on a whole other decibel of stupidity. 🙄
I mean, don’t get me wrong, My feelings on global warming are that the science is just unproven and the whole movement was hi-jacked as a political movement rather than a Environmental issue, which is what it should be.

About the McCain Gaffe Gate….
I stand in amazement of Liberal Faux outrage coverage of the supposed Gaffes that John McCain has made.
But really, has ANYONE bothered to notice how many gaffes that OBAMA has made in this election cycle?
I mean, let’s review….:
- What about the Gaffe of Obama saying that there were 57 States?
- What about his gaffe where he said "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong" He sees dead people? Hmmm…
- How about the fact that Obama has no earthly clue what language the people of Afghanistan speak??
- How about his gaffe about his parents and Selma, Alabama? Barack was Born in 1961.
- How about when Obama told Larry King on CNN — asked about that anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton YouTube ad, a doctored version of a spot created for Apple computers — "We don’t have the technical capacity to create something like that." — Sorry, Barry, your people did and still do.
- How about in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, writes of a story in Life
magazine that influenced him — about a black man trying to bleach his
skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony. - How about when Obama referred to the ‘president’ of Canada. Canada has a prime minister, not a president.
- How about when Obama said: "We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there." Of course, a fact check proved that wrong.
So, in all honesty, who is the biggest gaffer here? McCain or Obama?
Asked about this, the only thing Obama could or would say, would be… "Uhhhhh"

Another reason why I cannot STAND President George W. Bush
Look for this to be the next big story.
Seen at the Houston Political Blog (via HuffPo)
Update: Video was Pulled head on over to the Site and watch the video.
Update #2: Here’s a snippet of it:
The Basic Transcript:
It is uncertain, there’s no question about it.
Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.
And now we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today. (laugher.. Crawford!)
I like Crawford, unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker. She’ll be deciding, thanks for the suggestion! I suggest you don’t yell it out when she’s here. Later, telling her “Hey honey, we’ve been on government pay now for 14 years… so go slow!”
It’s uh.. caused me to lose my train of thought. Anyway.
As a caveat, the cameras were supposed to be off, but obviously, a tape was rolling. But still it speaks to the Political tone deafness of the President. He is yucking it up, while people are losing their houses and while people are dying, because of a pointless and undeclared war in Iraq. Yes, I know, the surge has worked, but still to the general populous of America, this just looks bad. This also could possibly hurt McCain in the long run, because I have sneaky suspicion that the 527’s and possibly Obama campaign might use a video like this, to do a hit job on McCain. In a attempt to try and push McCain closer to Bush.

Snort worthy quote…..
I happened to be reading the headlines, and I happened to see a story in the National Enquirer about John Edwards supposedly meeting a supposed lover, Rielle Hunter. Of course, we just know about the National Enquirer’s journalistic integrity. 🙄
Anyhow, the snort worthy quote is from Steve over at Hog On Ice:
My observations:
1. Thank God it wasn’t a man.
2. Nice manly recovery, running into a stairwell and then hiding on a toilet.
3. Gary Hart sends his regards.

For once, John McCain grows a pair and speaks the truth about Obama…
It is about damn time.

About time he spoke the truth. Maybe if he did some more of that, instead of the stupid bumbling bullshit, he calls campaigning, he MIGHT just win the election! 😀

Obama admits the surge worked….
Via Marc Ambinder
Couric: But talking microcosmically, did the surge, the addition of 30,000 additional troops … help the situation in Iraq?
Obama: Katie, as … you’ve asked me three different times, and I have said repeatedly that there is no doubt that our troops helped to reduce violence. There’s no doubt.
Couric: But yet you’re saying … given what you know now, you still wouldn’t support it … so I’m just trying to understand this.
Obama: Because … it’s pretty straightforward. By us putting $10 billion to $12 billion a month, $200 billion, that’s money that could have gone into Afghanistan. Those additional troops could have gone into Afghanistan. That money also could have been used to shore up a declining economic situation in the United States. That money could have been applied to having a serious energy security plan so that we were reducing our demand on oil, which is helping to fund the insurgents in many countries. So those are all factors that would be taken into consideration in my decision– to deal with a specific tactic or strategy inside of Iraq.
Couric: And I really don’t mean to belabor this, Senator, because I’m really, I’m trying … to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq …
Obama: Yes.
Couric … would exist today without the surge?
Obama: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals. What I can say is that there’s no doubt that our U.S. troops have contributed to a reduction of violence in Iraq. I said that– not just today, not just yesterday, but I’ve said that– previously. What that doesn’t change is that we’ve got to have a different strategic approach if we’re going to make America as safe as possible.
Why can’t this idiot just admit that the fucking surge worked and that he was wrong?
What an asshole!
The again, we are talking about Obama.

Vanity Fair does The New Yorker (Really!)
Well Played, Vanity Fair Well Played….
Although, it does hint at the truth, a bit. It’s shock value is not nearly as bad. It’s more of a humorous afterthought.
Cute, but not nearly the impact as the original.

The Story: Andrea on Obama Trip: ‘What Some Would Call Fake Interviews’ | NewsBusters.org
Andrea Mitchell might be a doyenne of the liberal media, but she has her reporter’s pride and principles, both of which have been trampled by the way the Obama campaign has managed the media during the candidate’s current trip to Afghanistan and Iraq. Mitchell let loose on this evening’s Hardball, speaking of "fake interviews" and indicating we don’t know the truth of the trip because we don’t know what was edited out of the video that’s been released.
Before Mitchell made her displeasure known, Roger Simon of Politico, Chris Matthews’s other guest during the segment, depicted the images coming out of the war zone as all Obama could have dreamed of.
The Video:
Transcript:
ROGER SIMON: The optics are all very good on this trip. I mean, the beginning of this trip is so good, Senator Obama might just want to call off the end and just keep running the videotape. He goes into a gym, everybody, all the service people there cheer. He shoots a basket, you know, it goes through the hoop. He’s obviously
standing there with troops, they seem to be liking him, smiling. They don’t seem to feel that Barack Obama wants to desert them, to leave them in Iraq. This is exactly what the Obama campaign hoped for,
and this was supposed to be the tough part of the trip. The meatiest part of the trip in Jordan and Israel may be tough in terms of foreign policy, but the back end of the trip to cheering European crowds will certainly be as good if not better than this. So I think he’s feeling
very good right now.CHRIS MATTHEWS: Andrea, I want to get ethnic a little bit here —
ANDREA MITCHELL: This is message —
MATTHEWS: Yeah, go ahead, please.
My Take: I’m just going to repost here, what I said over on Jack Moss‘s Blog:
Jack,
I’m just going to tell it like it is. This Commie Liberal is, basically, a joke. If it were not for the fact that his skin was black. He wouldn’t be even running for President. If his name was George or Bill or John. He’d still be in Congress or worse yet, working in a law office
somewhere. Because he is black, he is getting special treatment. He is a perfect representation of the Generation of Blacks who do not appreciate what their ancestors went through. I think of some of them
were put BACK into chains, they’d be a little more appreciative of the freedom that they have.Paleo Pat
Further more, let me just say this. I think it is a freaking outrage that the family of Martin Luther King Jr. is sitting idly by as this empty suit, commie liberal, rides into the White House on the shoulders of their Father. Then again, Martin Luther King Jr. was rumored to be a Commie as well, so, I guess birds of a feather, flock together.
