Affirmative Action in the Democratic Party

If you take a person who is less qualified for a position and put them in that position ahead of a more qualified applicant because of their skin color, that is Affirmative Action.

That is exactly what happened in the Democratic Party. Hillary was much more qualified to be the candidate (and President) than Obama, but because Obama is half black, he gets the nod. Now they are pushing Affirmative Action for the White House when he clearly has no qualifications at this time for the job (maybe in 8-10 years, but not now). The worst part about it is that in his commercials run here in North Carolina, he talks about how his grandmother (the same one he threw under the bus when he was in the midst of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright affair), was passed over for jobs she was more qualified for than her male counterparts who got the positions and now he is doing the same thing as those other "men." He jumped ahead of the more qualified Hillary because he is 1/2 black and/or a man.

It is time to stop Affirmative Action and hire the most qualified person because they are the most qualified. Go back and become more qualified Mister Obama.

Obama-McCain Debate #1

Here is my take on the debate last night. I noticed 3 things.

Obama at one point called John McCain, "Tom"-did anybody else pick up on this. He then corrected himself and said "John" but that was too late. What if McCain had called Barrack "Tom"? We would never hear the end of it because it would infer that McCain would be racist and referring to Obama as "Uncle Tom" from Uncle Tom's Cabin.

McCain reeled off name after name of hard to pronounce world leaders, countries, and cities. Obama only used 2 names of foreign dignitaries the entire night-Putin & I believe the Georgian president (I could be wrong on this 1 name). Obama had to read the name off his bracelet of who the soldier was he represented. McCain showed that even though he is older, he still has a grasp of what's out there. Obama couldn't even remember the name of John McCain-what if he did that while meeting with a foreign dignitary and called him the wrong name?

When they were pinned down on how the current financial crisis would alter their plans at this time. John McCain said he would implement a spending freeze on the government except for defense, veterans affairs, and necessary departments. Obama said he would still spend, spend, spend. Everyone knows if you don't have the money, you don't spend it. You tighten up and spend on what is absolutely necessary. Basic economics for running a household or a government.

That's the main things I got out of it. I/m sure the press saw their golden boy Obama as the clear winner.

Our Tax Dollars At Work?

With the big financial crisis looming over our heads and country about to go into a recession/depression if something is not done fast, shouldn't all of our leaders be in Washington, DC to work this thing out? After all, isn't that what we are paying them to do? If we were being paid to handle management decisions and a crisis arose, wouldn't our bosses expect us to do the same? If we didn't, we would be fired. So why is Obama still out campaigning when this is one of the biggest decisions to face our nation since the Great Depression? Because McCain beat him to it. By suspending his campaign and calling for Obama to do the same, McCain beat him to the punch. If he goes to Washington & suspends his campaign, he will look like a follower. If he stays away he looks like he is putting his campaign ahead of the country. It's called politicking, and Obama is the best at it. He still wants the debate about foreign policy to on as scheduled tomorrow night even though the country may fail. What he needs to do is get his butt to D.C. and work this thing out. That's what he being paid to do. Now is his chance to come up with some great bill that will not only stabilize the country, but bring it back to greatness. He has the unique opportunity to show us the "change" he can make as President. The problem is that he realizes this and can't come up with "The Great Compromise" because he has never had to do it in the past. He gets in and gets out before anything bad can happen and people find out just what type of leader he is. He did the same thing in Chicago, Illinois, and now the Senate. Get in and move up as quickly as possible. He has used the war effort as a platform for bringing our soldiers home because too many are dying in Iraq. Well Mr. Obama, more Americans have died on the streets of Chicago this year than in all of Iraq (compare 1 US city to a whole nation). Has he done anything about that situation? No, and he is not willing to do anything now.

Mr. Obama, get to work--now!!!

More Obama Thoughts & Rumors

Have you heard the latest rumor about Obama's campaign? I do not know if it is true or not-only time will tell. Here it is:

After the vice-presidential debate (around Oct 5), the Obama campaign will announce that for health reasons (aneurysm?), Biden will have to step down. He will be replaced by Clinton. This will ensure Obama winning in November.

For some reason, the Obama campaign is very afraid of Palin. I've never seen anything like it. They hack her personal e-mail, post everything including pictures, phone numbers, and contacts all over the web, then complain she is "hiding something" when she closes that e-mail account down. What are they so afraid of? It may be the fact that she is more like one of us than any of them. She is a working mom with 5 kids, one disabled child, a pregnant teenage daughter, PTA member, and is involved in school, and community affairs. She did not attend an Ivy League school nor is she a lawyer. Does this sound like most of us? I can relate better to her than any of the others. And, she does not take crap off of anyone.

Did you know that as the editor of the Harvard newspaper, Obama never contributed an editorial or article to any issue?

Did you know that in the last 20 years Obama has been one of the top 5 recipients of money donated by Lehman Brothers?

Did you know that 2 former CEO's of Fannie Mae are economic advisers to Obama-Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson?

Did you know that Rep. Rahm Emanuel who supports Obama was on the Board of Directors of Freddie Mac?

Did you know that one of Obama's top economic gurus is the head of Citigroup Corporation which deals in Treasury Securities and whose largest shareholder is Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia and that in July of 2008, Citigroup posted a $2.5 billion loss?

Remember the "Change we can believe in" banners that Obama's campaign has put out? What change is he talking about? He has never identified it and people are reading all sorts of issues into it-from changing the irresponsible government system to changing the world. My wife seems to have hit the nail on the head when she says that all he actually means is a change from a Republican President to a Democratic one. Nothing more, nothing less. Yet he lets all of his followers derive any meaning from it they want, as long as they support him.

Since Obama and Democrats took over Congress with promises of responsibility and change, they have done absolutely nothing. What will happen if Obama and a Democratic Congress are in place in Washington at the same time? More nothing? Or something worse. New socialist programs combined with the bailouts/buyouts=higher taxes. With all the government bailouts occurring, the U.S. now owns private companies as well as personal property (those mortgages beholding to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and others). This is the road to socialism and communism. Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson:

"There is scarcely a king (or would-be-king) in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of pharaoh--get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and all their children slaves forever."


Long live Pharaoh Obama I-the new sun god of the United States of America
