Can Obama Lose?

His call for change and unity cannot be beat by McCain. Why? The media wants it. The MSM is doing everything in their power to keep the pastor thing and the race issue in the forefront of people’s minds. His speech should have put all this bullsh*t to rest. But the Media does not want it to go away. Clinton is their candidate and they will keep the race thing going. They have almost totally ignored the Hillary scheds that has been released and how they will show that her experience will be very limited when she was 1st lady.

Pundits like Scarborough, Tucker and especially FOX News that will not let this story die, because as long as they keep it running the more they can dwindle Obama’s support. Something that is wanted and is being done by the MSM.

So if Obama is the Dem nominee and he loses to McCain in the general, you can thank the media for the defeat. Are you proud of the media now?

Will It Ever End?

Yesterday we witnessed the 5th anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.  Today begins year #6 and are we any closer to coming home?  McCain has said that we could possibly be in Iraq for 50 or 100 years.  Clinton has said she will begin bring the troops home on “Day1”, God I hate that saying!  And Obama has said he would try to have the troops home in 16 months.  All are probably true statements.  But  a campaign promise is not policy; it is however, a lie told to voters to win their vote.

The Congress is the key.  If there are not enough votes to carry to issue then they will stay in Iraq.  Thee is the possibility that the new prez would take it on his/her own shoulders to bring the troops home.  this is NOT a possibility, IMO.  Why?  We are living in a war economy.  The war is big business and who do you think runs the nation?

I just want the voter to be realistic, the troops will pull out of Iraq slowly to give the appearance of keeping a promise.  but the bottom line is ALL troops will be out of Iraq when business says they can come home.

Sorry to burst that fragile bubble.  reality sucks!

Have Cigar

Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War, now there is something to celebrate. 5 yrs, almost 4000 dead, many thousands wounded and maimed and a 1/2 a trillion bucks spent. Take a moment and think about that. Now that you have, what have we gained from this waste of money and treasure? Are we safer? According to the Pres we are, but then he has been in never never land for 5 yrs.

Now Bush is using our fear of higher gas prices to motivate the people. He know says that we must stay in Iraq to prevent al Qaeda from taking over the oil fields and using that cash to create market chaos and to fund their activities. I can smell the fear rising now!

Many protesters took to the streets yesterday as a nationwide protest to the war. A valiant effort, but will it be effective? NO! I WILL NOT! When half the American people still believe that Saddam was so how responsible for 9/11. Sad indictment of the mentality of the American people.
