Senator Obama meet Captain Renault

  
Captain Renault, of course, was the police officer in the classic movie Casablanca who was a frequent patron of Rick’s casino. Ordered by his superiors to close the place down, his famous explanation (as he was being handed his winnings) was that he was “shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.”

No one believed Captain Renault, and no one believed Barack Omama when he claimed that he was shocked to learn that his pastor of the last 20 years was a loon who was spewing racist, anti-American delusions from the pulpit every Sunday.

What America wanted to hear from Obama was why. Why did you sit there for 20 years listening to your “mentor” pass out this garbage, masquerading as Christian teachings.

Two logical reasons come to mind; either he believed what he heard, or he was using his membership in the church to score “credibility” points in his community. 

In his famous speech where he was going to explain all this, he revealed that the reason was…?   Well, what do you know! He never explained all this. Instead, he told us that Reverend Wright was well, you know, sort of a crazy Uncle, who will, you know, say all kinds of nutty things. He’s such as card, that guy! But let me tell you about my white Grandmother! Now she is a racist. She is a typical white person who is afraid of young black men.

O.K. Obama, let me explain this to you. Granny is afraid of young black men who dress and act like thugs. Granny is also afraid of white skinheads, white guys with purple mohawk haircuts and leather jackets, and white guys dressed like Hells Angels bikers. Granny avoids all of these people because there is a good chance they may be dangerous. Granny does not avoid young, black men in business suits.     

You know what? Maybe he really DID tell us why he stayed for 20 years.

What if Obama Shows Up in One of Reverend Wright's Videos?

 Reverend Wright has been on TV more often than American Idol the last few days. His videos are a hot property. Here is my question. If someone spies Barack Obama in the audience at one of the Rev’s sermons, what will happen?

Answer: He will be finished, done, deader than Kelsey’s nuts. Punch out and go home!

Barack is staking everything right now on the outlandish claim that he never heard any of the Reverend’s insane rants over the entire twenty-year period that he has attended sermons at the church, and considered Rev. Wright as his “mentor”


My father spent his last years in the St. Louis area. My impression of this area is that it embodies the essence of the conservative Mid-West. No foolishness…church, work and family; simple and direct.

How is the Reverend Wright playing in St. Louis right now? Not well!  

If he is playing poorly in St. Louis, he is also playing poorly in a whole bunch of states that Barack needs to win to become President. 

It is time for the Democrat super delegates to look at their hole cards and decide how to bet this hand. If it were me, my money would switch to Hillary. Obama is starting to look like a real sucker bet.

The Beginning of the End for Obama?

It has been a very bad week for Barack Obama. His Teflon coating is proving to be much thinner than advertised. At this moment, his much-ballyhooed pristine character is under major attack on two fronts:

First, his old buddy and real estate partner, Tony Rezko is on trial in Chicago. Barack’s name has already been mentioned a couple of times, and if things get tough for old Tony, he may just throw Obama under the bandwagon to save his own skin. Barack has to know this, and it may just be affecting his sleep pattern.

Second, his minister and mentor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright seems to have released his entire set of racist and disgusting sermons to the news media. Even the likes of Obama-loving MSNBC seems to be at least mildly offended. Obama’s response to each and every question concerning these sermons is that:

a) Wright is a crazy uncle that says things that he (Obama) doesn’t always agree with.

and...

 b) Wow, he never heard Wright deliver that particular sermon, and had no idea that he ever said such a thing!

 It makes a person wonder. How often did Obama really show up at this church?   And, didn’t any of these crazy things the minister was saying ever come up for discussion among the parishioners? It seems incredible that Barack never knew any of this was going on right under his nose!

No, not a good week at all.

Can We Trust the Dems to Run the Country?

 

Can We Trust the Dems to Run the Country, when they have so many problems just picking a candidate?

 People who are old (like me) remember Rube Goldberg. For the other 95% of the population, I will explain. Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist who designed very complicated machines to perform relatively simple tacks. He invented the science of over-engineering. Rube Goldberg must have been a Democrat.

Picking a candidate for President seems like a relatively straightforward procedure. You let states run primary elections, add up the delegate counts, and presto…you have a candidate. Not so fast!   If you are a Democrat, it is not quite that easy. Lets look at the Rube Goldberg influence at play with the Democrats.

Super Delegates – Who are these people? Are they Super Heroes? Nobody knows. They are elected delegates who can do whatever they want. Why would I vote for someone who will not necessarily represent my choice at the convention? I would not, but I am not an all-knowing, all-wise Democrat. To me, it smacks of the “smoke-filled-room” politics that the Republicans are always accused of.

The Texas Primary – Let me get this straight. You go vote in the primary election in the morning, then run over to vote again in the afternoon caucus. Whatever happened to one-person-one-vote? If this was Chicago, I might understand, but Texas? The delegates are then parceled out on some formula that is sealed in a secret vault.   A week later, no one has figured this out yet.

Voting Machines vs. Paper Ballots – Back in 2000, the Democrats went crazy because many of their stalwarts in Florida were confused over punching out a hole in an IBM card. To make it simpler for these low-tech Democrats, the party insisted on converting all voting to computerized systems. Many, many millions of dollars later, not only are the computerized systems way too complicated for the average Dem, but it also makes voting two or three times in the same election, much more difficult. Carl Rove is now to blame for all computerized voting machines!

Florida & Michigan Primaries – I’ll bet you think people already voted for their candidates in these states. Wrong! Howard Dean wanted to pick the dates of these elections, but the states picked their own dates. O.K., Howie is not going to let the votes count. Wait! The delegate counts are close, and the Dems need these states’ counts to pick their candidate. What do we do? We need to vote a second time. Who is going to pay for this re-vote? Logically, it would be the Democratic Party. However, on one hand, the Dems claim that they have money pouring in hand-over-fist for their candidates, but on the other hand, they are broke and cannot finance the second elections in these states.   Lets ask the taxpayers from Florida and Michigan to finance the extra elections   Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Whom do you think is to blame for this whole mess? Don’t be silly. It is George Bush’s fault of course! Do you think the Democrats are stupid or something?
