Obama's Sober Mood

If there was ever an argument for term limits , the happening in the last few days provides one.

First Ted Stevens, a man called Mister honesty by John mcCain was indicted for taking funds from an oil contractor for which he had done favors for.

Now, here comes Charlie rangel, Congressman from New York city. Accused of renting 4 rent controlled apartments for his offices. A congressman id only allowed to rent one apartment. He just happened to use his influence for a project for the company in the Bronx. He also received campaign donations from the company.

What chance do we have when we are betrayed by our lrepresentatives? We have a President and a would be Republican contender will to send our troops in harms way just to appease the mouth-breathing right wing. We have an alaska Senator pushing for off shore and national pary Oil drilling taking money from the oil Companies. We have a New York congressman who represents the needy in obtaining rent controlled housing taking money from those who provide the housing. When will it ever end and why do the parties gather around them in defense? They do so because most of them are just as dirty.

When you consider the over spending by the house and Senate for their donors and the cost of a phony war concosted by the republican party that has costs billions and cost several thousands of lives, it's depressing.

Bush/Cheney/Rangel and Stevens should be tried, convicted and sentenced to prison.

Ted Stevens may be subdued by his indictment for take money from an oil contractor, but you republicans should not fret. Senator Kyle, also from A laska, is pinch hitting on the Senate Floor as i write. Kyle has just quashed 3 requests from the Democrats. 1. A bill to include Opec in anti-trust law. 2. A Bill to make it National Policy to develope renewable energy policy such as wind and solar power to suppy electricity to homes and businesses. 3. A bill to curb Oil Speculators, most experts say speculation adds 50 cents to a gallon of fuel. Kyle objected to all three of the Bills because they did not include offshore drilling. The last thing the republicans want is to have us using anything that would compete with oil. The republicans and the white house rely on the money big oil gives them for their campaigns and their own pockets. Ted stevens is indicted for allowing a oil business to make a minor repair on his home. The minor repair consisted of raising up his home, building a new firsf and then setting the new 2 nd floor on top of it. I am for offshore drilling and I'm for fast tracking the solar and wind power programs. The solar and wind power programs would be up and running way before any meaning ful price change in gas would occur. Does anyone thing our fine upstanding oil companies will lower the price of fuel after they become the refiners, exployers, drillers, producers and the vendors?

What angers John McCain and bemuses many traditional observers is how unflappable Barack Obama remains in public, no matter how condescending the attacks. There is little doubt that the thick skin he grew over decades came in handy as he started to run for president. The past 18 months surely were not the first time Obama was baited for being black, for being white, for being Muslim, or for not being from "here," and it must be fascinating, although not unexpected, for him to see these patronizing attitudes resurface at this stage of his life. For the rest of us, what is fascinating is to witness how these old-school mindsets are backfiring on those who hold them, making them look less wise, more prejudiced, less fit to lead and altogether completely unappealing.

McCain is playing the smear game when he knows that there's nothing left to throw at Obama but wait for him to miss-speak. Hillary already threw the sink. Even the foreign countries approve of Obama way more than McCain. I respect McCain cos he served America well but he's playing the same "Shame on you, Obama" campaign and Obama only has to keep himself focused and not mess up. I wonder how much McCain has reminded himself of pandering any way the wind blows.

What it is? Harley

What Obama Learned on his Trip overseas:
1) Pictures with presidents on foreign soil does not equate to foreign policy experience
2) 200 thousand marxist supporters chanting you on is not good for getting US votes
3) Should have visited the troops without the cameras or not scheduled it in the first place...bonehead!
4) I can beat David Hassohoff in a popularity contest in Germany any day!
5) An orchestrated image campaign may work for Paris Hilton but perhaps not for a general election candidate.

Geeze, I could have told him this! This, folks is what you get when you mix inexperience, arrogance and irresponsibility with a politician! You get Obama exercising the Paris Hilton strategy on how to be famous. The big miscalculation? well, washington isn't exactly hollywood and voters are not dumb.

McCain has had since February to hone his campaign skills. McCain has had since February to form his committees and since then has been throwing people under the bus. McCain has had since February to develop his platform which he has not. He

doesn't want to be president. If he really wanted to be president he would have made a better name for himself while he had the opportunity to do so while Obama was battling Hillary (you all remember the one that was supposed to win). McCain would have righted the wrongs on his VA stances, he would have had a chance to address voting for a war that was wrong and will go down in history in infamy.

McCain doesn't want to be president. He just wants the title. He wants the perks that come along with it. He just wants power.

He doesn't want to be president. If he wanted to be president, he would be giving speeches on the socioeconomic issues the country and world faces which is what the leader of the free world is supposed to do; not stand in front of a crowd of people that already has money looking for a photo op.

If he wanted to be president he would be describing his policy on energy instead of throwing out a gas tax holiday or say he'd throw money at someone to come up with a battery idea that is already here. If he wanted to be president he would be stating his case to be president instead of attacking the person that wants to be president and perform the duties of that office.

Obama wants the job, not the title. He has already made the case to the people. He has already formed allegiances with other countries to deter and suppress terroristic activities and extremism. Obama has put his policies on the table and has let the people see them. He listens to those around him and is willing to work across the aisle to come to agreements on issues that affect us. Just ask Senators Hagel and Bachus.

Vote Obama for President.

I for one would like to have a president that understands that the "world" is bigger than Europe, the Middle East and the USA. Apparently Obama doesn't realize this since he just finished a world tour of Europe and the Middle East. On the bright side, at least he can pronounce the word nuclear, but then again, so can McCain. I wonder if McCain thinks the world consists of the USA and Vietnam?

"The candidate takes a view at the World's problem." There are so many. But our Supreme Leader will wash them all way. He will wash away the sins of capitalism, hirsutism, Yankee Empirialism, botulism, racism, priapism, nationalism, hypothyroidism, Anti-Semitism, hypoganadism, sexism, empiricism, nihilism, stoicism, conservatism, fascism, classism, intellectualism, colonialism, , existentialism, puritanism, pragmatism, gigantism, neo-Conservatism, McCarthyism, skepticism, social Darwanism, and the biggest sin: sarcasm.

Oh Philosopher King. Where is the Homer who will tell your story? Sing to me Muse. Sing to me of the man of many twists and turns who traveled accross the wine dark seas. Where is the Virgil who will immortalize you? Sing to me Muse. Where is the Tennyson who can teach us how to praise you? Sing to me Muse..... I am for Obama. How about you? Are you for Obama too? Then there is a pair of us. Do tell. How wonderful to be for Obama. How joyful to be in his spell....Oh Belle of Amherst, Awake.

I've watched FOX News last night and this morning, you know to see what the hubbub is all about. I saw the look on their faces like they wanted to pin Obama down on something and they couldn't find it. They would start a topic and their faces would twist like they had an "ah hah" gotcha moment but then they realized they said something that would benefit him. And then there was silence as they stared at each other. If that is the best the GOP have to offer in regards to the POTUS in waiting, then man this is too funny.

The only reason junior senator Barach Hussein Obama opposes U.S. offshore oil rigs is that the fringe democratic idiots are also against the idea that the USA should not be free from foreign suppliers of crude oil.

Notice none of these knot heads who believe wind mills are the answer to all our problems are saying very much now that the price of gas has dipped below $4.00/ gallon.So junior senator its time to come up with another hair brained idea.
