Messiah

Louie Farrakhan calls Obama "Messiah. I guess
that makes it official. After listening to
Obama's rhetoric, I'm not sure if he will be a
messiah or a tzar. I know he wants to tax the
rich but the last time I looked it was the rich
that provided most of the jobs. Did you every
try to get a job from a middle class or poor
person.

As I said before I'm not too keen on McCain.
I don't think he has the grit to beat Obama,
but I'm ready to be proven wrong. Now I believe
Sarah Palin has the grit but she is not on the
top of the ticket. Socratease8

Debate

After watching the presidential debate
I have come to the conclusion that McCain
doesn't want to win. He had several chances
to make Obama look really bad but passed
them up. The one thing that kept popping
into my mind is that this inexperienced
clown may be the next president. If that
happens you will really have something
to worry about for your children and
grandchildren. The damage that this guy
will do to our way of life may be beyond
repair. The communist manifesto from the
1950's will have come full circle and
will look like a document of truth. The
communist said they would conquer the U.S.
from within. The judges that this guy will
pick and the socialist programs that he
will try to start will complete the
destruction of our way of life. It won't
have much effect on me, but my Kids and
their kids will pay the price.

There are two groups that I have seen on
television that turned my stomach. One was
a group of young girls singing the praises
of Obama in what looked like a school.
The other is a group of young black boys
dressed in military looking clothes marching
in step and shouting praises for Obama. This
is the kind of stuff that you see all the
time in China and North Korea. We may be
heading for a civil war.

Obama said that the economy has been
declining for the last 8 years. If McCain
had any guts he should have called Obama
a liar and pointed out that this country
had been attacked by terrorist and that
it took considerable resources to recover
from that. The economy was growing some,
until the democrats took over the congress.
That is when the gas prices doubled and
the housing market went away. The rest
is history.Socratease8

Back to Politics

Sarah Palin should start the debate with a
compliment for Joe Biden. She should tell
him that she has learned a lot from him. That
she didn't know that the television had been
around during the depression. Or that Franklin
Roosevelt was the president during the 1929
Wall Street crash. He became president in 1933.
She could say that those facts are not in her
history books. So it has been an education
listening to his speeches. I don't know if
Sarah is ready for prime time but there is
a lot of ammunition in Bidens speeches from
the past.

McCain has been a bit of a disappointment to
me. He should have a lot of guts after his
stay in a prison camp, but he is not showing
it. Maybe he doesn't know that you need to
prove that you have guts and grit everyday
of your life. You can't live on what happened
in the past. Right now he is acting like a
wimp. He needs to go after Obama with every
thing that he has. If not for himself, do it
for the American people. He is blowing this
election, because he wants to be mister nice
guy. There is no mister nice guy in politics.

Political Break

I took a few days off from the politics of the
day to visit two of my grandsons in Michigan.
We had a great visit and enjoyed the energy of
these two little tornadoes that seemed to move
through our space with great energy. We enjoyed
every second of the energy of these two little
forces that moved through our day.

It didn't take long to remember why we moved
from Michigan. Almost as soon as we entered the
state the sky's became cloudy and the roads
became one long speed bump. You would think that
with the amount of taxes that the state collects
it could at least fix the roads. We found out that
our son has to pay about $4000 property tax for a
house that he paid about $40,000 for that needs a
lot of repair. This is absurd but that is what
happens when you allow the democrats and unions to
take control of the state. The people of Michigan
need to wake up and get rid of the unions and
democrats. I was a union member for 35 years and
was a union official for 5 years. They made
promises to me that they didn't keep so I don't
have much use for them.

We have 5 more grand kids in Michigan but time and
circumstances didn't allow a visit this time.
Maybe in the future. Grand kids need to know
their grandparents.

We were back in the sun by the time we got back
to southern Ohio, and had good weather the rest
of the way home in Tennessee. Socratease8

Financial Mess

Well the red phone rang last night and McCain
answered it. Obama hit the snooze button.
It appears that a debate about a completely
different subject is what Obama wants. He
doesn't want to be part of the solution to
the financial problem. He would like it to
be an issue if he becomes president. He
thought he could win some political points
by refusing to get involved with the talks
about a solution to the crisis. President
Bush put him on the spot by calling him back
to DC to help with the solution. Makes sense
to me, one of these guys will be president in
January 09 so Bush left them with no wiggle
room. Plus these guys are Senators and it's
their job. That is something that Obama
apparently doesn't understand since his job
as senator has been to run for president.
President Clinton said that these problems
arose during his administration because the
congress would not pass controls for these
financial organizations.I'm beginning to
think President Clinton likes John McCain.

I hope folks are paying attention to the
Gulf region. There are Russian war ships
there for war exercises. The last time we
had an inexperienced president in office
the Russians thought they could deliver
missiles to Cuba after the Bay of Pigs
mess. Sabers are starting to rattle around
the world because we may have another
inexperienced president in that office.
We better stay ready to defend ourselves
if Obama becomes president. God help us.

Politicans

Wow, it was pointed out to me today that I am at
the end of my 7th decade, almost ready to start
my 8th decade. Boy do I feel wise now. Lookout
World and liberals!

We are now being told by the liberal political
machine that if Obama doesn't win the election
it is because of racial prejudice. I have
told liberal friends of mine that I would be
happy to vote for a black man for president if
he was qualified to be president. It is a severe
stretch to believe that Obama is qualified. This
guy has less experience than anyone that I
can remember in my almost 70 years of life on
this planet So I will not be voting for Obama.
I will be fighting to make sure this guy does
not win. He needs to go back to school and learn
a little more about the American way of life.
Most of us do not like socialism. It has
not worked in the parts of the world where it
has been tried, and it won't work here. There
are a lot of left-wingers who seem to like
the idea of socialism where 10% of the folks
work and provide the product and income and
90% sit on their asses and collect welfare
from the 10% who produce. That is not a good
system and won't last long.

If the politicians in office today knew the
contempt that I have for them they would not
want to be in the same room with me. The
democrats are below contempt and the republicans
are not a lot better. They don't have to be in
office very long before they can quit and draw
their full salary for the rest of their life.
We have to pay for that. Everyone who works and
pays taxes and everyone who is retired and pays
taxes have to support these loafers. There is
something wrong with this picture. It is time
for term limits and NO benefits when they leave
office!!Don't vote these rascals back in office.
