The Monday ‘BushWhack’ing

Another Monday… keep calm though, next week is a 3-day weekend.

  • In case you hadn’t heard, the Democratic Convention starts today in Denver, CO.
  • In case you hadn’t heard, part II… Sen. Obama chose Sen. Biden (D-DE) as his running mate… which naturally pissed off the Clinton supporters, which included the McCain camp who released an ad asking why Obama couldn’t have chosen her. Well, I’ll tell you why; because it wouldn’t have worked… end of discussion. The fact that the gop was hoping for Obama to choose Clinton should be Clinton supporters first clue that she COULDN’T be the running mate. Think about it; why would the republicans WANT Clinton other than the fact they knew they could hit Obama HARD for choosing her. If you are a Clinton supporter and are refusing to vote for Obama for one reason or another, then ‘President McCain’ will be on YOUR shoulders and you will be blamed. I’ll make sure of it…
  • CNN inane headline of the day; “Poll gives Democrats reasons for hope, concern
  • Proof that the European media gets it while the US media continues to miss it purposefully ignore it. The Financial Times says that McCain’s ridiculous inability to remember how many homes he owns makes choosing Mitt Romney as his running mate “more risky”, saying that derision could be thrown against Romney, because he “owns a mansion with tennis courts in Massachusetts, a lakeside house in New Hampshire and a cabin in Deer Valley, a posh Utah ski resort.” (So… with McCain’s ad attacking Obama for not choosing Clinton, if McCain doesn’t select Romney, I think the Obama campaign, or at the least the D Triple C, should make an ad asking ‘Why Not Mitt?’…)
  • Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (who’s on McCain’s veep short list – so that should give you an idea of what kind of man he is) criticized Obama’s selection of Biden as his running mate, saying that Obama should have picked Gen. David Petraeus… (Um… okay? What ya smoking there Tim?)
  • And have we mentioned? That 80% of us think we’re on the wrong track? A new USA Today/Gallup poll found that “eight in 10” say they’re dissatisfied with the way things are going in the U.S while a vast majority rate the economy as ‘only fair’ or poor with 70% believing it’s getting worse… (and there are still people who want to vote Dubya Part 2, Sen. McCain, into office… staggering, isn’t it?)

Who is running these polls anyway? The RNC? I can't tell you how many republicans I have talked to in the last couple of months who say they will vote democrat this time around, with the country in the mess that it is in, foreign policy and our standing in the world the worst it has ever been....

I can't tell you, anonymous, how many democrats i have talked to in the last a couple of months who say they will vote Republican this time around. The world , which includes mainly French, several European contries, Russuia, China, and Muslim extremist countries do hate America. They hate America long before Bush elected as President. They will hate America long after Bush's terms expired. They hate Bush more because Bush "dares" not to listen to them, but acts only based upon the interest of America, acts only to protect the Great USA and their People. Since when French "loves" America? Since when Russia and China "love" America? Since when the extremist Muslims "love" America?

Will Mr. Obama, "the citizen of world," make the world "loves' America?

By the way, why should I elect "the citizen of the world" to be the President of the Great USA? Not in my lifetime!
