Just hoping some of the Obamacrats in my family will accidentally see this and come to their senses.
Will it help them?
Probably not. Anyone still for Obama this late in the day may be a lost cause.
I just hope they don’t drag the country down with them.
I can keep a secret.
I had secret clearance when I was in the Army. A job needed it, they ran the checks, and I was given it.
There’s a higher clearance level. There are lower clearance levels. Secret was the one I had.
What brought this up?
Did you hear about what Jimmy Carter said? According to the [...]

Sen. Barack H. Obama (D-IL) has said he’d meet with Iran’s president without preconditions, if he’s elected President of the United States.
The naive Senator was called on his position by an experienced Senator, John S. McCain, III (R-AZ)…
Nice to hear a grown-up explaining things to the kids.
If only the kids would listen. But they won’t. [...]

I saw the quote on Drudge:
OBAMA: ‘We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK’…
Now, while such a statement from the likes of Sen. Barack H. Obama — or any [...]
Turns out that, at least according to a New York Times report, Silda Alice Wall Spitzer (Can I use her full name? Or is that racist?), wanted her husband Eliot to stay on as Governor.
Wait a second.
The wife wants him to stay in office?
I’ve been married twice and can testify that not all women are [...]

Seems that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has spurned Senator Clinton’s (D-IL,AR,DC,NY) suggestion that he take the Vice Presidential slot on the Democratic ticket.
This seems to make sense, on the face of it. His rejection, that is.
Obama leads Clinton in the delegate count.
Obama leads Clinton in the popular vote.
Obama has won more states than Clinton.
But Obama [...]
Funny!
Now, I don’t care for Senator Clinton (D-IL-AR-DC-NY) one bit. But she’s more qualified than Senator Obama (D-IL).
But still not as qualified at Senator McCain (R-AZ).
But, yeah. This was funny.
The New York Times … among other news outlets … is reporting that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been caught in a prostitution ring.
Spitzer is a Democrat, which really doesn’t mean anything, since sexual misconduct isn’t the domain of one party or another. Prostitution has been around a lot longer than Democrats and Republicans.
But [...]

Fox News reports that the Obama camp is upset by comments made by Representative Steve King (R, IA-5).
King told the Spencer (Iowa) Daily Reporter:
“I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than [...]

Roger Simon wrote over at Politico that the Democratic National Committee has five options for dealing with their mess in Michigan and Florida.
He said they were:
No delegates from either state
Seat the delegates that the voters picked
Split the delegates evenly between Clinton and Obama
Let them hold another primary
Wait for somebody to ride in and save the [...]
