Round 1 — Obama more than holds his own against a ‘Mean’ McCain

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Barack Obama clearly passed the threshold as a credible commander-in-chief. He met and surpassed the test — Bob Shrum, Former senior advisor to the Gore and Kerry campaigns.

We haven’t had a ’short’ president since Harry Truman — Dick Morris

Sneering like a “Cheshire Cat” ready to claw Obama, an ingracious, mean and contentious John McCain repeatedly pivoted on his foolish campaign stump-line: “Obama does not understand,” …”Obama will raise your taxes,” …..interjecting with his FAVORITE FETISH — “Pork Barrel Spending,” a.k.a Congressional EARMARKS.

   Obama Towers Over McCain
Obama Towers Over McCain

McCain’s verbal and body language was “off-putting,” contemptuous, condescending and patronizing. McSAME couldn’t get himself to look at Obama for a full ninety minutes — a grumpy, angry old man indeed.

Maybe old-man McCain thought Obama is a VietCong!

Barack Obama on the other hand was presidential crisp, caring and reassuring. He was polished, confident and focused — fully prepared, and able to convey a real depth of knowledge on nearly every issue.

The Debate (PART 1)

The Debate (PART 2)

The Debate (PART 3)

   Watch: The First Presidential Debate, in a Minute

Even White Nationalist ReTHUGlican Nativist, Pat Buchanan of MSNBC, grudgingly gave Obama high marks, comparing the debate to the epic Ali-Frazier fight in Manila, the “Thrilla in Manila,” on October 1, 1975. Buchanan likened Obama to Ali, who almost blinded Frazier with jabs and counter-attacks, in fourteen grueling rounds. “Obama “stuck in the needle” repeatedly, said Buchanan,” “frequently he back-peddled and jabbed effectively.

To his credit Fox News’ Toe-Sucking Pervert, Dick Morris, judged this debate very objectively, surprisingly. While appearing on Fox News’ “O’Hannity and Coward,” Mr Morris said: “Obama came across as knowing and caring about the average person.

Earlier yesterday before the debate Mr. Morris said:

“In a TV debate between a tall man and a short one, the tall guy usually wins – we haven’t had a short president since Harry Truman. Young man vs. older one? The younger usually wins.

Handsome, charismatic candidate against a man who’s neither? Well, you get the point: John McCain will have three strikes against him as he enters the first presidential debate tonight (assuming it goes ahead).” …[MORE]

Dick was right, the taller, younger man won — Barack Obama!

David Gergen, a respected adviser to multiple US presidents for 30 years, and CNN Analyst, had this to say: “Obama held his own like John Kennedy did to an older Nixon in 1960.

Even the ALWAYS biased FoxNews.com conducted an impromptu poll that had Obama beating McCain 54-46%. Note: The poll is safely hidden in an obscure section of the website, while the majority of the stories on the 1st page are all anti Obama.

Nixon/Kennedy TV Debate – 26 September 1960

Time Magazine gave Obama an overall grade of: A- and McCain B-, stating that:

McCain was McCain — evocative, intense, and at times emotional, but also vague, elliptical, and atonal. He failed to deliver his “country first versus Obama first” message cleanly, even when offered several opportunities. Surprisingly, McCain did not talk much about “change,” virtually ceding the dominant issue of the race,” ….

….and Obama went for a solid, consistent performance to introduce himself to the country. He did not seem nervous, tentative, or intimidated by the event, and avoided mistakes from his weak debate performances during nomination season (a professorial tone and long winded answers). Standing comfortably on the stage with his rival, he showed he belonged — evocative of Reagan, circa 1980. He was so confident by the end that he reminded his biggest audience yet that his father was from Kenya.

Two more performances like that and he will be very tough to beat on Election Day.

MAUREEN DOWD on the debate:

McCain kept painting Obama as naïve, and dangerous, insisting that he ‘doesn’t quite understand or doesn’t get it.’

Obama should have responded ‘Senator, I understand perfectly, I’m just saying you’re wrong.’

On the surge, he could have said that McCain was the arsonist who wanted to be praised for the great job he’s doing putting out the fire he started.

The Flawed Architect: Henry Kissinger and American Foreign PolicyAnd who cares what Henry Kissinger thinks? He was wrong 35 years ago, and it’s only gotten worse since then.

Obama did a poor job of getting under McCain’s skin. Or maybe McCain did an exceptional job of not letting Obama get under his skin. McCain nattered about earmarks and Obama ran out of gas.

We’re left waiting for a knockout debate. On to Palin-Biden.

More Debate Reviews: Barack Obama Wins, “More Presidential,” “Knowledgeable and Detailed”

——————————————–

The primary focus of this debate was foreign policy, and expectations were that McCain would SLAM-DUNK obama.

Well, he didn’t.

McCain spent too much time angry, negative and lying as usual.

The decision goes to Obama — He won the “Thrilla in Oxford, Mississippi.” Obama only needed to hold-on, …and he did more than that.

NEXT — I am looking forward to Joe Biden EATING the “Killa From Wasilla” alive — Next Week! SLURP…SLURP! The “Foot-In-The-Mouth” face-off will be a CATEGORY 5 debate…LOL!

Sarah Palin – The ‘Insult Moose’

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


I am getting sick and tired of this shrill, sarcastic “female moose.” John McCain has packaged a big barrel of compost and strapped it around her neck, and she is machine-gunning the manure packed with deliberate deceit and distortions at the Obama campaign.

Wasilla, Sarah’s hometown was once the starting line for the Iditarod, a grueling dogsled race across 1150 miles of hazardous terrain. And as evidenced by the audience reaction at the Republican convention last Wednesday night, Sarah Palin is comfortable leading vicious packs of howling animals.

   McCain/Palin ShotGun Wedding
McCain/Palin ShotGun Wedding
   By Cagle Cartoons

McCain’s “Killer Moose” has been rampaging across America disparaging Obama as a lowly “Community Organizer,” totally oblivious of these facts:

• Obama has been a U.S. Senator (2005-present) — 3 Years

• Obama was an Illinois State Senator (1997-2004) — 7 Years

• Obama is a senior lecturer, University of Chicago Law School (1996-present) — 10+ Years

• Obama was a practicing CIVIL RIGHTS attorney (1993-96) — 3 Years

• Director, Developing Communities Project (1985-1988)(Community Organizer) — 3 Years

Even more important is the fact that Obama slayed the most potent political machine in the country — the Clintons, not by luck, but fair and square, and by the rules in place, with zero support from the Democratic establishment — a display of competence and superior organizational skills. Obama’s excellent grass roots experience as a “community organizer” enabled him to build the most awesome ground operation in the history of U.S. politics.

Pundits like to parrot incessantly how Hillary Clinton won 18 million votes — conveniently forgetting that Barack obama received 18 million primary votes too, and won more states.

Barack pulled it off because he ran a thoroughly professional campaign, surrounded himself with top of the line surrogates and displayed superior motivational and leadership skills.

On the other hand, Sarah Palin was picked from the wilderness of Alaska by a desperate McCain, and we have no clue as to how she could perform as vice-president — other than what she reads on behalf of McCain’s THUGS at town-hall and open-air meetings, and that she won a beauty contest. An associated press compilation gives evidence of — How Sarah Palin’s career stacks up to Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s

A female blog poster I bumped into sums it up this way: Sarah Palin is a joke, a token, and an insult“Look! Here’s a VP with a labia!” Fuck. That. We women are smarter than that. LOL!

Obama’s campaign responded: “The speech that Governor Palin gave was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush’s speech writer and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we’ve heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Governor Palin and John McCain want to define “change” as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that’s their choice, but we don’t think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change.”

Vice presidential nominee Joe Biden had this to say:

We know nothing about this woman. Absolutely nothing, yet pollsters are quick to cook-up stats claiming that she is ready, on the basis of a malicious speech written for McCain by George Bush’s cabal — afraid of the consequences of losing power.

Remember what Biden said recently:We will not be stopped from pursuing any criminal offence that’s occurred.” Members of Congress are “doing the right thing, they’re not making false accusations about anything … they’re collecting data, subpoenaing records, they’re building a file”, Biden said. “If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued — not out of vengeance, not out of retribution, out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president — no one is above the law.” …[ more ]

That’s enough to send the “shivers and quivers” up the spines of the Bush and Cheney criminal enterprise — a ruthless gang of looters who have seized every aspect of “America’s treasures” – political, cultural, financial, constitutional, militarial……you name it.

In the last eight years they have looted America mercilessly, and the sad thing is that roughly half of the electorate has no clue about what is going on. Their political education is limited to guns, abortion and kicking the asses of Muslims and immigrants all over the world. The fact that Bush has perverted, distorted and tarnished America’s image beyond repair — does not even feature fleetingly in their thinking. To them, GOD is on America’s side because George Bush “speaks directly to him.

Idiots!

They hear a speech by Sarah Palin and McCain (both puppets of this cabal) — and they go: “WOoOo AHH!,” …she is ready!

Nope! It’s a rip-off!

Last Thursday when McCain trumpeted:A Change is Gonna Come,” and vowed to put the country “back on the road to prosperity and peace,” ..he was lying through the “skin of his teeth,” and he knows it!

Bob Herbert of the New York Times knows that too:It stretches the mind almost to the breaking point to think of John McCain as an agent of substantive change. He once believed that Phil Gramm was the most qualified person in the United States to be president. And he now believes that Sarah Palin is the most qualified to be vice president.” “From the speakers’ faux populist gibberish, you would never have known that the Republicans have used their titanic power to lead the country to its present sorry state.” ….[ more here ]

One of the most devastating crimes that the “High Cabal” committed was the coup d’etat in the year 2000, with Florida state officials and the Supreme Court conspiring to foist an unelected George Bush on the American people.

Hail To The Thief!

Bush has done everything in his power to see that his corporate backers receive any and all assistance his administration can provide:

• Tax breaks for the obscenely wealthy

• Failure of governmental oversight for any and all regulations

• Non-prosecution for corporate crimes

• Appointment of insider foxes to guard the federal chicken coops: [ more here ] and [ here ]

These crimes must be prosecuted and stopped by the Obama team, if and when they assume the presidency — a task that seems to be getting more difficult, especially now that McCain has ditched his “Maverick” stance, and is officially the puppet of the “High Cabal,” complete with a “compost throwing” side-kick — Sarah Palin, the “Insult Moose.

Overheard:

   [ Enlarge ]
Sarah Palin -- The Insult MooseAt a Barack Obama rally in Ohio, perhaps the most critical swing state of all:I think McCain is using it as a ploy to sway Hillary voters, but Palin is entirely against everything Hillary stands for, and I think women will find it offensive,” said Emily Miller, 25, of Toledo. “It will backfire.”

Debra Esthmeyer, 28, of New Knoxville, Ohio, said,I’m insulted, as a woman. If Sarah Palin were a man with her same credentials, there is no way John McCain would have picked her.” Palin’s “no Condoleezza Rice. She’s no Hillary Clinton,” Esthmeyer said. “She’s no Michelle Obama, either.

McCain the Fighter

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


 Columnist – John Sammon
Columnist - John Sammon. Click to view larger picture.The original scenario at the Republican Convention had John McCain standing before a giant computer generated digital movie screen, the latest high tech technology, showing a gigantic American flag, a giant crucifix, as well as an apple pie cooling on a windowsill, and a photo montage of an elderly woman (symbolizing the flag, religion, mother and apple pie).

All American themes. The pie, mother, and the crucifix were eliminated at the last moment when it was decided by campaign strategists that this was laying on the sanctimony a little too thick.

The announcer, sounding pious, reverential, solemn in an almost choking voice like it was the most important thing that ever happened, was to then read from a prepared text.

“John McCain is a fighter. He decided he was going to be a fighter at birth. He fought to come into this world. He fought for you in Vietnam, and now he’s going to be fighting for you in the White House.”

The spectators scream, yell and applaud.

“Many years ago, John McCain learned that life requires you to fight. He was standing on the deck of the Battleship Cornblatt with his war hero uncle, and the clouds parted and the sunlight shone upon him, and he was heard to say, ’some day, I’ll make this world a place to be worthy, but I’ll fight for the right.’

John McCain knows he’s a fighter.

He knows God. And he fights alongside God.

He’s the candidate for change. McCain supported President Bush in Iraq.

McCain is for change.

(Applause)

McCain supported Bush on immigration (guest worker program). McCain is for change.

McCain is against the Kyoto (global warming) Treaty. So is Bush.

McCain is for change.

(Wild applause).

McCain supports illegal wiretaps. So does Bush.

(Manic applause).

McCain is for change.

McCain is for the educational program, Every Child Left Behind. So is Bush.

They also agree mostly on health care, Medicare, taxes, abortion and trade.

McCain is for change.

But he isn’t afraid to fight.

John McCain isn’t slow to make the tough choices because John McCain understands you have to fight, and fight hard.”

A montage of heavily armed jet aircraft sweeps across the movie screen as a thrilling crescendo musical interlude of violins and harps, sounding literally like music from heaven, fills our ears.

The announcer piously resumes: “John McCain has fought. All his life he has fought. He fought for you back then (Vietnam), and he’ll fight for you now.

You see, destiny calls upon one special man each millennium to lead his people into the Promised Land. Pulling us into the future. Into our destiny. Our legacy. Destiny is only known to a very few. A select few. Courageous enough, bold enough. John McCain is one of those men. Very once in a great while, a great man appears whose greatness reflects upon us, that embodies the superior spirit of America, the supreme greatness of America alone among nations, the right, the duty, of America to lead, to teach, to uplift, to dominate, to spread itself across the globe.

Duty, country, family!

Only a man who is a fighter can know such a vision. A man who has fought. John McCain. John McCain loves his country. John McCain is his country. John McCain fights for his country.

John McCain will fight alongside you.”

The script (the version you saw on TV) was altered slightly when campaign strategists decided at the last moment they wanted to make McCain appear slightly more a man of the people.

Obama Should Stop Appeasing Hillary Clinton Loyalists

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


In an attempt to appease and mollify the Clintons, Sen. Barack Obama has practically handed over the control of the Democratic Convention to them. Hillary will have her roll call vote, and she and her husband will deliver prime time speeches.

The Clinton mafia has even secured language in the Democratic platform condemning the media for its “sexist” coverage of Hillary’s campaign. I know that only political junkies read the Democratic platform, but Obama should not have agreed to inserting such a blatant lie. Hillary lost because her campaign was a disorganized nest of snakes and sycophants, and not because of sexism in the media.

Clinton loyalists endlessly repeat that Obama must reach out to the 18 million who voted for Hillary during the primaries. Most of those 18 million are now solidly behind Obama; it’s only a few Hillary diehards who are still swooning over their queen.

Appeasing The Clintons

These dead-enders are not blue-collar workers or the working poor, but middle-aged bitter women who saw Hillary as their last chance to see a woman in the White House before they croak. These dinosaur feminists don’t represent most women, or even most feminists. They are from the old school of feminism, and they are characterized by a hatred of men and a love for women. They wouldn’t consider voting for Obama unless he was castrated.

This cabal is willing to destroy the Democratic Party to demonstrate their inordinate affection for Hillary. The Hillary partisans have warned Obama not to choose a woman as his running mate, if it’s not their dearly beloved. This proves that there infatuation with Hillary takes preeminence over women’s rights.

Nothing short of naming Hillary as vice-president will satisfy them. Obama is set to announce his VP any day now, and I’m delighted that none of the speculation centers on Hillary.

The Democratic Party should be about hope and change, and not about a cult of personality. Obama has bent over backwards catering to Hillary and her surly husband. Stop the appeasement, Obama should write-off the Clinton die-hards once and for all.
