Enough Already

Yesterday Yahoo News ran a story about President Elect Obama and his inability to quit smoking.  The story was was remarkable except that it is just another instance of Obama equivocating …

1. Are you a Muslim or not, I don’t care but stop the deceptive behavior and possible lying.  How can you know the morning prayer (on key) for the NY Times in the fall of 2007 and not have some Muslim background.  This is not a bad thing.  It was a chance to really be change and hope.  A breath of fresh air, some transparent honesty.  What rational being can attack a person for his religious education pre puberty?  It’s the deception and lying or at least misrepresenting that is disheartening.
2. Are you a Marxist or a socialist?  Did you not associate strongly with Marxist when in your 20′s both in LA and NY city.  Do you not know William Ayres and more importantly his wife Bernadine Dohrn?  Was you wife Michelle in contact with Dohrn during her time at the law firm of Sidley Austin in Chicago?  There is nothing especially bad about these items, what we need is some transparent facts without the purposeful deception.
3. Why are so many people questioning your citizenship and place of birth.  Were you born in Kenya or Hawaii?  Stop the half truths with some real truth with the associated proof and explanation.

The list goes on but pretty soon you come to the conclusion that Obama speaks with forked tongue.  So stop with the change and hope theme.  Go with the same old politics and politicians theme.  This guy even is a covert smoker for crying out loud.  Stop with all the idealistic crap and let’s see if he can deliver on any of his campaign promises.

I am very disappointed.  Ferguson of very late night TV had it right early in the game.  Obama and his ads, hope … , change … , … vague …

I just wish he would either be quiet or tell the truth at least until he is President.

MSM hammering home the issues

Yesterday’s big news was earth shattering.

-Sarah Palin spends too much on wardrobe – $150,000.  My comment, how does that stack up against $150,000,000 election campaign contributions raised and will be spent per month by Obama.

-Joe Biden just cannot get anything right.  He really is in a spot.  When he tells the truth – Obama has no foreign affairs experience and might be taken advantage of by foreign governments after his election – he gets attacked by the media.  When he spins out of control on an unfamiliar topic – like the duties of the VP during the Palin debate – he just spins some fantasy that sounds good – Cheney grabbing more power, everyone loves to hate Cheney.  Poor Joe, go hide in Delaware with your friends.

The World economy is reacting very poorly to this subprime mortgage crisis and seems to be heading into a severe recession.  Oil prices are crashing with the economy and now OPEC talks about cutting back on production.  Talk about someone get to eat their cake and keep it too.  When demand is strong OPEC believes in letting the price ride with full elasticity.  When demand is poor, OPEC wants to artificially manipulate supply to prop up the price.  Amazing.

Neither candidate has a good solution for our economic woes so MSM focuses on the campaign bickering.  This really isn’t a criticism of either candidate.  The economic issues are very complex and one might even blame our current ‘immediate gratification’ mindset for most of the problems.
