                            - The Now Famous Attack on Bill Clinton

                              by Former Barack Obama Pastor

                              Jeremiah Wright

 

 

To All,

     While one would normally be inclined to refer to a wise old adage discussing the characteristics of pots and kettles, perhaps it would be better this time around to just stick with a plain old "vanilla" discussion of a recent news story...

 

Throwing Stones In A Glass House Update:

     Samuel Goldsmith and Jeane MacIntosh are reporting over at the New York Post about the recent revelation that former Barack Obama spiritual mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright has had an illicit extramarital affair with a 37 year-old married church worker in Dallas.

 

     Elizabeth Payne has apparently admitted to the liaison, one which has apparently cost her a secretarial job working for a Rev. Wright protégé, membership in her church, and her marriage of 2 years. (Ms. Payne has apparently filed an EEOC complaint for wrongful dismissal in an attempt to get her job back.).

 

     Goldsmith and MacIntosh report that this may be the second time that Reverend Wright has gone a'poaching another man's wife. It seems that Wright may have enticed away his second (and apparently soon to be "ex") wife Ramah in a similar manner some 20 or so years ago.

 

     The Post does not report trying to get a comment from Rev. Wright or his spokespersons, though he apparently sermonized recently on the subject of "unexpected" problems that come up in life.

 

     Whether the illicit affair was in the backround of the ritual "throwing under the bus" that Candidate Obama performed on Reverend Wright a while back is not known at this time. But suffice it to say that Candidate Obama seems to have "hung" with a strange posse throughout his political career. That this lack of discrimination might influence how voters decide about Candidate Obama's qualifications remains to be seen. Stay tuned.

Riddle Me This:

      While one would think that California's Loony Liberals appear to have the upper hand in the current budget debacle in the Fool's Golden State ( No budget in sight), a recent "reversal" by Candidate Obama might call into question the very foundation of their position.

 

Riddle Me This, Oh Government Liberals-

      If the economy is "too fragile", enough that  Obama has to pay "lip service" to the idea of deferring some of the tax increases, then what makes you think that California (with it's higher than the national rate of unemployment) can afford to raise taxes in the current budget standoff?

The Pitbull and The Pendulum:

     The folks over at Real Clear Politics have posted the latest numbers on the effects of the Republican Convention and the Palin Nomination on the standings between the McCain/Palin ticket and the Obama/Biden ticket.

 

     If anything, the latest trends (if they hold) may soon have Team Obama screaming "For The Love of God, Montressor!" as their fate is sealed behind the brick and mortar of the common sense of American Voter. Real Clear has McCain's RCP National Average up to a 2.8% lead over Obama, and in states such as Colorado Obama's lead is being thinned daily.

 

    Even the Intrade "betting" on the likely victor in November has closed to 6.4% spread, down from the previous high range of 2/3rd's to 1/3rd from just a couple of short weeks ago.

 

    Add to this bi-coastal horror script the problem that Obama's fund raising seems to be slowing a tad (the Grey Lady herself is noting that no degree of flagellation is allowing Team Obama to make it's closing financial targets, and that they may be as off as 50% from their own target levels), and it would seem that Liberals are facing the remake of "The Horror of 2004".

 

    Still, 7 or so weeks is an eternity in politics. Team Obama may yet be able to claw it's way out from underneath the swinging blade of public opinion and win the day (or at least not be sliced up much like one of Biden's embryonic stem cell donors). But it is clear that McCain's nomination of a political Cujo for VP, rather than the expected one of a "Benji", has left them in their cups and lying in the gutter for now. Let us see how the story may end.

What A Difference A Year, and The NRA, Makes:

 

 

 

     It is clear that the above video could have happened again in Hurricane Season 2008, if there was no NRA representing gun owners and hunters in a number of affected states. What is more, should antigun liberals such as Joe Biden get in higher positions of power than his current position as Blowhard-in-Chief of the US Senate, such scenes may once again become reality.

 

   Discerning gun owners-cum-voters are encouraged to "think" (Not "thimk") before they vote this November. A Vice President Biden would be only a cigarette puff or a contaminated tofu serving away from being in a position to adversely affect the individual right for generations to come.
