The Candidacy of Barack Obama has Energized a Community

September 30, 2008

There are a little over 30 days until the election and who would have believed a year ago that Barack Obama would be the Democratic Party candidate? Not me. I believed the Clinton machine was unbeatable but as I watched the primaries unfold I started to become a believer, and not only a believer, but I [...]

The Clintons Are the Gift that Keeps On Giving to the Republicans

September 30, 2008

During the primaries Hillary Clinton campaigned against Barack Obama like he was a Republican. As I would watch the commercials I knew that we would see snippets in upcoming Republican ads, and McCain and the crew did not disappoint us. Now we have Bill Clinton coming out of hibernation lavishing praise on John McCain. His [...]

McCain and Palin Attack “Gotcha Journalism”

September 30, 2008

Yesterday while watching the CBS News I was struck by the fact that the original Maverick would not let Maverick Jr. answer Katie Couric’s questions. Katie asked Sarah Palin about her apparent conflict with McCain’s position on Pakistan. Before she could speak McCain went into his partisan rhetoric. He said this was a case of “gotcha [...]

You Have Got to Register or You Can’t Vote

September 30, 2008

Today I saw the following statement online, “Spend 3 minutes registering or spend 4 years wishing you had.” If you are 18 or over you can make a difference, but you have got to be registered.  You can register at www.rockthevote.com or you can register at www.naacp.org. Time is running out so act today. If [...]

Republicans Blame Pelosi for the Bailout Fiasco

September 29, 2008

The Republicans claim they were offended by the partisan speech delivered by Nancy Pelosi. They were so offended that some of them failed to vote for the bailout. There are some serious questions that need to be answered before this kind of money is released. The Republicans are responsible for the bill not being passed [...]

Bailout Vote–Is it Do or Die or Something Else?

September 29, 2008

The House is voting on the bailout this afternoon and it is truly scary. There are so many things about this bailout that the members of congress simply do not know. They have been told by the White House that this is a do or die situation. They have positioned this to us as if [...]

Sarah Palin and The Low Expectation Spin…Don’t Believe It

September 29, 2008

Sarah Palin is being positioned as the underdog in the Palin/Biden debate. After the Katie Couric interview pundits have expressed concern regarding the upcoming debate. Expectations have been set so low that if she shows up without tripping over her own feet she will be declared the victor.  Some have said Biden might need to [...]

The Party is Over…We Weren’t Invited and Now We’ve Got to Pay

September 29, 2008

The bailout is pretty much a done deal. American taxpayers are stuck with the bill. It’s like having your pocket picked, and then having the pickpocketer explain to you that he has just done you a favor. The final plan at least has more oversight than the first plan out of the White House and [...]

Barack Obama is Now the Maverick

September 27, 2008

John McCain is now calling himself an agent of change. He and his co-maverick Sarah Palin are going to change the way Washington is doing business. McCain and the crew have been grabbing Obama’s slogans and using his lines because they know America is sick of business as usual. Today while campaigning in North Carolina Obama [...]
