Barack Obama’s huge donor list is yet another reason why the DNC wants him to be the Democratic nominee. He has a large list of potential new donors to Democratic causes. This list is political gold for the Democratic party. The DNC needs to treat Obama with great care in order to [...]

The World Prefers Obama
Apr
Share
I have traveled to a number of countries since this campaign started and I have read much of the foreign press. From where I sit, it is obvious that non-Americans really want a ‘regime change’ in the United States. They view the U.S. as a threat to world peace and are frightened how [...]
Barack does have problems connecting
Apr
Share
Barack Obama is definitely not comfortable on a tractor, in a bowling alley, or downing shots of Crown Royal. You might think things like that are petty when it comes to voting in a democracy. But, in the end, many people are less concerned with global issues, and more concerned with the kind [...]
Hillary Strangelove
Apr
Share
The Boston Globe had an editorial in today’s paper entitled ‘Hillary Strangelove’ about Hillary Clinton’s dangerous and outlandish saber-rattling. Recently, she said in the Pennsylvania debate that she would use “massive retaliation” against Iran for an attack on Israel. She later qualified this statement on Keith Olbermann’s show to mean in the case [...]

1992 redux
Apr
Share
A friend in Washington, D.C. just sent me a New York Times article from April 1992 entitled, “THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: The Front-Runner; Like Voters, Superdelegates Have Doubts About Clinton.” This article is about doubts over Bill Clinton as he became the front-runner that year.
You could replace Bill Clinton’s name with Barack Obama’s and 1992 [...]
I knew those Generals were biased
Apr
Share
I was reading a blog that reminded me to post something disturbing about biased coverage in the mainstream media (MSM). This is a little blurb on a story I caught a few days ago about all those military talking heads on the networks in the lead-up to war in Iraq. It seems those Generals [...]
Kill All The Storytellers
Apr
Share
I was talking to a friend yesterday about the apathy of this generation of youth on key political and social issues. I said that if the Generation of ‘68 had gone through what this generation is going through they would be occupying the College Dean’s Office and burning something down. This generation seems [...]
The problem with us bitter and clinging folk
Apr
Share
The debate over Barack Obama’s comments about small-town Pennsylvania voters seems misguided. It has nothing to do with political issues. It has nothing to do with effete, chardonnay-guzzling liberals. It’s an issue of how personality and personality type color how one sees the world.
Just in case you forgot, Obama got up in early April [...]
