Day: March 27, 2008

This latest nonsense from Yahoo is clear only in who it is supporting for the presidency these days:

Obama tries to talk about the economy this morning to head Clinton off at the pass, they gave him more coverage than her.

Now all that has vanished in favor of this tripe, which admits they ‘oversampled’ African Americans, in which case, Obama only being a couple of points ahead of Clinton show just how much HE has slipped, and how risible it is that they need to TRY to make headlines out of her ‘low’ when in fact she is doing extremely well.

If the worst thing that can be said is she mis-spoke, compared with Obama’s 20 year association with the hate-mongering Wright, well, that might make him at an all time high with the people who were polled, but does that make him a good presidential candidate?

NO.

And all the posturing in front of an American flag and talking about being mixed race is not going to either. He needs brains and substance. He has neither.

And no, it is true, Pastor Wright, she may not have been called the N word in her life, and may not know how it feels.

But nor does ANY other presidential candidate other than Hillary Clinton know what it is like to be called a B at every opportunity from the moment a woman dares to stand up to a man, to show she is educated, to show she wants to make a difference in the world. And the L word as well, because of course any woman ambitious enough to want to run for president has to be ‘mannish’.

Remarks about the pant suits, remarks about too much cleavage, not enough cleavage, any cleavage, puh-leese! Can we have a genuine and honest election campaign here, not this sexist, sensationalist garbage?

My best friend is a male African American of a mixed race background. HE is voting for Clinton!  Why? Because she is the most experienced and able candidate, the most clued in to all the issues facing this country after her many, many years of public service.

No intelligent man should care about sex scandals, pant suits, or cleavage in their president, but whether or not that person is a genuine leader.

Therefore all intelligent men, regardless of race, who want to see change in this country, and the kind of fiscal responsibility the Clinton administration of the 1990s was famous for, should have the sense to vote for Clinton for the Democratic party’s representative, so we can get back America on the road to economic recovery as soon as possible, and really help those suffering most in the USA.

Here is an interesting article posted today in Yahoo about the link between belly fat and the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia, and a great deal of research recently has linked it to inflammation in the body, particularly inflammation related to heart disease.

Also, recent research suggests that fat is not just a bunch of excess weight on your body that sits there and looks unattractive. It is actually releasing various toxic substances into the body which then add to the inflammation.

This is woeful. Give us a break. He finally notices today, on the day that Hillary Clinton is about to make her big announced speech, that something should be done about the US economic crisis?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080327/ap_on_el_pr/democrats_economy

This is what it looks like, him trying to steal headlines, and posing in front of the US flag again to try to look loyal and patriotic, which he has been doing ever since the whole crisis with his pastor has cast doubts on his American loyalties.

He also did it on Wall Street, Hillary’s own back yard-if anyone know about Wall Street, it is HER.

He also posed with  Mike Bloomberg, who did NOT endorse him. However, Obama has tried to add to supposed prestige as a candidate by again appearing with someone who has a lot more political credentials than he could ever have.

This is too little, too late, and makes him look lame. His ‘policies’ are just a copied version of Hillary’s and no, it is not because they are all Democrats, it is because he has NO policies. Just good speeches and a lot of media attention.

Let’s have someone intelligent discuss what should be done. My money is on the Senator who had successfully managed to win 67% of their earmarks for worthy causes to help people, such as to fund programs for children’s insurance, subsidized housing, and so on. THAT is Clinton, NOT Obama.
