The World That Awaits

Congratulations, busby! You managed to insert a whole string of right-wing talking points into a single post. Oh, and by the way, Khalidi received hundreds of thousands of dollars in backing from McCain and friends.

Farrakhan? Are you people really that pathetic and desperate?

The most important speech on Election Day will be John McCain's. He must state his support for Mr. Obama as our next President. At the same time, he must remind Americans of the legitimate differences accross the political spectrum. We have real differences. Our nation's future depends on our ability to freely express those differences without demonizing each other. I worry about the emergence of a tyranny of political correctness under an Obama administration (e.g. The University of of Chicago is being pressured to not name its new Economics Center after Milton Friedman), I worry about too radical an effort to redistribute wealth. I worry about medicine becoming socialized. I worry about our becoming more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. I worry about the appointment of leftist judges. Maybe all these worries are excessive. The best we can do now is pray that God will guide Mr. Obama.

Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.

You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.

US foreign policy has always been based on advancing US interests which do not necessarily bode well for other countries. We in the Philippines, a previously fiercely loyal ally of the US, has been a victim of this narrow self-serving paradigm. Now we consider the US a threat more than an ally we can depend on. Perhaps the US should adopt building a just and humane international community as the strategic framework for its foreign policy and it will never go wrong.

The most expensive big ticket item in Barack
Obama's first budget won't be universal health
care or college, it will be the Barack Obama
Campaign Contribution Excise Tax, to repay all
those IOUs Obama wrote to buy his way into the
Whitehouse. Raising three hundred million
dollars in campaign contributions doesn't make
Barack Obama an economic genius, it makes him
a con man. Anyone with a fifth grade education
knows Obama doesn't stand a butterfly's chance
in a bat cave of delivering on ten percent of
all the crap he has promised voters.

How is Obama going to pay for universal health
care, and all those other pipe dreams with taxes
from people who don't have jobs? Obamaclaus can
cut all the taxes he wants, it ain't going to
mean spit to the unemployed. There's nothing
wrong with believing in Obamaclaus, but expecting
him to pay the overdue rent, the doctor, pick up
the groceries and refill the car isn't just
unrealistic, it's insane. Change? President Barack
Obama won't have Change for the vending machine.

One of the many reasons it's still a race:

Stick around for something you rarely see.... Charlie Gibson holding Obama's feet to the fire! What a sight!

Trade with currency manipulation is not free trade, it is mercantilism.
When countries run large export surpluses their currency should strengthen, which evens out the surpluses and deficits. Currency manipulation and its by-products are what got us into this financial meltdown. It is time to fix the system.

As you know, neos, or maybe you don't know - JFK won the election in Chicago. Vote early and vote often, doesn't matter if your dead. My goodness, neos - how are old are you?

No, they are just the "underlings" of Daley. So what else is new in Chicago? Please tell, me, what in the world is "CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, HOPE, HOPE, HOPE" ??

to tiredoflies: Lets take a look at the facts of Obama's state and how well he is doing as their president... then let's decide if he really is the BEST candidate for the job of Commander in Cheif:

Pull out of Iraq?
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago!

Body count:
In the last six months:


292 killed (murdered) in Chicago;

221 killed in Iraq.


Chicago... Who Runs it:
Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Rep: Jesse Jackson Jr.,
Illinois Gov: Rod Blogojevich,
Illinois House leader Mike Madigan,
Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike),
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)

.....our leadership in Illinois .....all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
Of course, they're all blaming each other!

Can't blame Republicans; they're aren't any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us!

Wake Up America !

Experience does NOT equate to apt judgment.

Longevity does NOT equate to experience.
Equating longevity and experience to apt judgement are faulty ASSUMPTIONS many seem to make.

Capability is in judgement and McCain has gained little judgement ability from his vast longevity and so called experience.

Obama has shown to have the correct judgement as Bush has now adopted many of those judgements.

Any President can surround themselves with gobs of experienced people.

BUT IF YOU CANNOT APTLY USE ALL THAT EXPERIENCE TO RENDER THE APPROPRIATE JUDGEMENT THEN IT IS ALL KIND OF WORTHLESS, ISN???T IT?


Now, what has Obama run?

In addition to his state and US Senate experience, one organization Obama has run:

In the last two years he has crafted and run an organization with 730 offices nationwide with more than 1.5 million staff (paid and volunteers) with a huge payroll. This is his campaign and he has run it flawlessly.

And running an organization of this size in such a flawless manner is no small feat and has been widely lauded by national leaders, economists, and major news organizations.

NOW CONTRAST THIS TO THE CAMPAIGN OF THE ONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ALL THE EXPERIENCE, JOHN MCCAINS. HIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT INFIGHTING ABSENT OF DISCIPLINE, LACK OF FOCUS AND DIRECTION AND JUST PLAIN POOR JUDGEMENT.

It is a false assumption to equate longevity and experience to judgement and capability. Comparing these two campaigns is factual evidence of that premise.

Would not the running of their respective administrations be about the same?

Friends. It is pretty clear that we have lost this round. Mr. Obama will be the next President of the United States. Let us now ask God to support him and guide him. Good bye until 2011.

For Whom the Bells Toll. They tolled today for the last surviving neuron in Mr. Biden's superego. The cell "crossed the bar" yesterday evening after a long struggle with apoptosis. It had been in retirement for many years. Friends and former foes gathered to pay their respect. A long line of astrocytes, and an occassional spirochete stood in silent tribute. Said a former friend: "A gentle little cell, he was....never too harsh. Never heard him raise his voice. Not even after the unfortunate plagiarism episode." "He has crossed the bar. He has put out to sea." said another.
