Obama wins the real American Idol?
Well it is official Obama is bigger than American Idol, and John Kerry would at best be his strange sidekick. As a side note, the Nielsen numbers don’t count PBS or C-SPAN, really? These are the only people who watch political shows who do not have cable, so who knows Obama may had another 10 million viewers. Now that is impressive.

Caught cheating – try this one
I have to admire going this route. You know every man out there suffers from this disease. They only real difference is we cannot find enough women willing to enable us to justify it as a real addiction.

Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy
I am not saying Barrack Obama is comparing himself to Kennedy, but I am saying the DNC is doing everything but saying it for him. Is Obama moving, yes. Is Obama able to make people feel energized, clearly. However, you and I know that “The Line” (“Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy: I knew Jack Kennedy; Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”) is going to be said by someone very soon, and my money is on day 1 of the RNC.
Wow!
Not much of a first post on this site…but Obama’s speech left me speechless. Not that I agree with all (or most) of it, but the delivery, the show, the charisma. Wow.
Democrats are all liars or at least massive exaggerators
Just ask Glenn Beck. He will tell you the truth, and nothing but the truth…. Oh I cannot wait for his biting responses to the RNC comments. (Holding my breath)

Thanks for the discount General Motors (GM)
It sure is nice of GM to offer everyone the employee discount for the 100 year anniversary. I would hate to think they were doing it just to drive sales.

Is Michelle Obama white?
OK OK OK, you and I both know that headline was meant for “Shock and Awe”, but the rationale is what I want you to think about. The other night I was watching the Democratic convention, and Barack Obama’s wife Michelle was speaking. Let me be perfectly clear here, she was articulate, she was on point, she was likeable, she was in short: perfect in every way, dress, hair, education, and yada yada yada.
However, I found myself thinking about many of the stereo types I grew up with, and all of you who grew up in “white America” know what they are, so I won’t dignify them by writing them out, but one we can all agree on is a black man cannot (or should not) be President. Michelle Obama obliterated these stereo types, much in the same way Barack Obama has and will continue to do, and she did it with perfect style.
So I said all of those things (all of which are totally true), so you would take this paragraph with a grain of salt and with the good spirits it was intended. OK here it comes. I wanted her to be a little more ethnic. I wanted to shock the foundation of white America, and make them vote for someone who wasn’t in every way palatable to white America. Sure their skin color is a large hurdle white America will and needs to overcome, but there are so many other stereo types that shouldn’t preclude someone from holding the position of President either. Think about it, I doubt there are any pictures of Barack totally wasted in college doing a panty raid, and I do not have the same doubts about some Presidents, nor do I think Barack would fail to exceed 30 on his ACT or 1200 on his SAT, and some Presidents probably would not meet that criteria, so would it be that big of a deal if Barack and Michelle used some traditional “black” jargon in their conversations, or if Barack said “much love” to a good friend?
I simply do not believe even if Barack is elected, people in white America are changing their racial bias, but rather I believe most feel like they are just electing a very tan skinned picture perfect couple with an Ivy league education and law degrees. But even if the Obama’s can’t change white America beliefs on their own they are certainly proving in everyway that two black people in America rose out of tough financial circumstances and made a name for themselves in a way truly unique to themselves. So let me be the first to say congratulations to the Obama’s, and specifically Michelle with a good old fashioned.
“You go girl!”
Sincerely,

It’s 3:00 a.m., does Hillary feel safe?
Watching the Democratic primary the other night, I was struck by the energy
and enthusiasm that Hillary Clinton offered for Barack Obama, but after all
was said and done I still had no answer to an important question, does
Hillary believe she will be totally safe at 3:00 a.m. when Barack answers
the call?
Being that this is one of, if not the first, posts I will put on this site
you will not have read about my beliefs on national security, Hillary
Clinton, Barack Obama or for that matter anything at all, so you will have
to take my thoughts at face value, but keep in mind I am not attractive so
the value of my face is marginal at best.
Ok, now back to the question. Does she feel safe? I don’t know, but I do
know she did not address the issue, and I would like to hear her say that
Barack Obama is the best person for the job, or at least admit before the
national t.v. audience that she hopes there is a party line setup in
Washington, so it rings at Joe Biden’s house at the same time.
