Obama's Judgement

Hi Ann, love your blog, have one thing to say regarding the Obamessiah's judgment.

The good Senator has been touting his 'judgment' as opposed to his experience.
He admits giving Access Hollywood a chance to interview his daughters was a result of being 'carried away'.

If Senator Obama's judgment regarding people he loves (his daughters) can be so poor, then what does that say about his judgment regarding the rest of us, whom he cannot love nearly as well.

Reality vs. Hollywood

Roger, I agree that Sen McCain's steadfastness as evidenced during his lengthy incarceration in the infamous Hanoi Hilton is a key qualification for president. I also agree with Uncle Jimbo's assessment of McCain steadfastness as opposed to Sen Obama's climbing habits.

I disagree that it is overtly LESS heroic than scenes depicted in Bridge on the River Kwai. John McCain doesn't talk about his time in the Hanoi Hilton - his fellow prisoners do. The stories they tell about Sen McCain are more heroic than any Hollywood depiction of any heroic act would pretend to demonstrate.

Mr Clark, on the other hand, suffered from a moral(s) deficit so acute that President Clinton had to remove him from command - AFTER his command won the Kosovo campaign.

I often wonder what moral failing could possibly exist that President Clinton would feel the need to fire a successful General.

Obama vs "Spam Blogs"

What is a "Spam Blog" anyway?

Thank God we are not prominent enough to warrant the "Spam Blog" title. We don't like Sen Obama either, but we are too small to garner Google's ire.

North Dakota Politics

During my time in the USAF, I was stationed at Minot AFB in North Dakota. Apart from the fact that the real difference in temperature from Summer to Winter was 145 degrees or that they actually closed the base for a couple of days because it was too cold, I enjoyed North Dakota. Mostly because of the sheer decency of the people there.

North Dakota has a Good Samaritan law for example, requiring that you help someone in trouble and shielding you from lawsuits if you do. Not that you need the shielding, because folks from North Dakota wouldn't sue you anyway.

People in North Dakota are rural, but they aren't stupid, as Senator Kent Conrad would do well to remember.

Congress Treats Citizens WORSE than Terrorists

Within Senator Dodd's (D-CT) housing bailout bill is a provision to permit the federal government to spy on nearly every credit card transaction or other payment process used by PayPal, Amazon, Google Checkout in addition to Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

So, Congress is authorizing the Federal Government to spy on YOUR financial transactions with nary a word in the mainstream press. How unlike the fight to maintain the Patriot Act. Where are the Democrats? Why will they not fight for my right to privacy?

Obama's Fundamentals

Senator Obama has been putting together His National Security advisory team. Their "fundamental" text for American Foreign Policy will be... wait for it...

Winnie the Pooh. I kid you not.

Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin who is collecting a good montage of Pooh-inspired , National Security Themed art.

Post Racial Presidential Politics

It seems like Sen. Obama doesn't really want to embrace post-racial politics. Certainly, He is not above discriminating against Muslims. Wasn't there an event when His staff was decrying the need for "more white people" at the expense of other ethnicities?

However, I am thankful for one thing... The good Senator has told me that my country is no longer (or much less) racist because we nominated Him.

"I'm proud of America for giving me this opportunity because obviously
we all know it's a sign of enormous growth in this country."

Obviously

Update: Unfortunately, His supporters are unable to take a joke.

Update: Senator Obama apologizes.

Instugator is still waiting for an explanation, something along the lines of, "These were not the staffers that I knew".

In another note, you can still get your copy of the Philadelphia speech here, ironically titled, "A More Perfect Union". Get 'em before many more imperfect things happen to make the speech more irrelevant than it already is.
