Open Letter to President Obama and the DNC

To: President Obama and the Democratic National Committee: Mr. President; Ladies and Gentlemen: With regard to recent events both domestic and foreign, I must assure you in the strongest terms that you are unequivocally playing with danger. Since taking office, you have confused our allies, insulted our friends, bewildered the American public, ducked serious issues, [...]

Hollerin’ Joe: Part 2

Democrats, keep up your campaign against Joe Wilson; it’ll only stoke the already incendiary political atmosphere you and yours have lit.

No lie.

A President comes a beggin’

The next few days up through the Presidents coming speech next Wednesday will explain much to the American People. Depending on who you are and what you expect from him, Obama’s silky platitudes will fall on many deaf ears. It seems as if Obama has utterly forgotten the famous phrase that his Illinois predecessor once [...]

Barack Obama on the right track to victory

After three debate performances Barack Obama has convinced the nation he is “presidential material” and now has the edge to become the next President of the United States. All the polls are pointing into Obama’s direction as he now has the edge and leads in every state that John Kerry won, according to The Rasmussen [...]

Sarah Palin, there I said it again

My boycott of mentioning the name Sarah Palin is finally over. I even used “Sarah Palin” as a tag and not “John McCain’s running mate.” Lance was correct when he pointed this out. This campaign, my friends, is not about Sarah Palin. We really don’t want her knocked off the ticket. She is an asset [...]

The Crisis We Face Has its Roots in Democracy

Once again America is faced with two choices for president, and once again it boils down to a “lesser of two evils” mentality to most voters. This mentality has plagued our two party politics for too long. For this reason I am taking a stand on non-voting for the first time since I became eligible [...]

The chorus against John McCain’s current running mate chants louder and with more intensity

First it was Kathleen Parker, a conservative syndicated columnist, who said out loud that “John McCain’s current running mate” must go. What she stated about her was dead on. She makes a strong argument in her defense but concludes with this. What to do? McCain can’t repudiate his choice for running mate. He not only [...]

The Unraveling of John McCain

Barack Obama showed what it means to lead and John McCain showed what it means to lack leadership. What is beautiful about this bailout negotiation is that it gave us a glimpse of what an Obama Presidency will look like and, God forbid, what a McCain Presidency will look like, Rep. Barney Frank put it [...]

Welcome to Full Financial Marketplace Socialism

The final straw came today when the SEC Chairman (who John McCain rightly thinks should be fired) banned short selling this morning in the financial sector.  In other words, investors are not allowed to weigh in on the raging stupidity of the upper management of the banks and investment houses.  The appalling decisions of these [...]

A summation of the Latest Against McCain

The big issues- according to Jack- that should prevent us from electing McCain include: That McCain must be a gangster because of something that happened 60 years ago in his wife’s family That Sarah Palin alone- not basic geography, climate, nor Sen. Stevens- is responsible for the fact that maintaining the basic infrastructure costs more [...]

Dumb as a Bag of Hammers

In Obama’s new ‘Isotoners are off- again‘ approach, his first attack ad mocks McCain’s inability to use modern technology: “It’s extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn’t know how to send an e-mail.“ However, in e recent interview, he certainly seems fairly well-versed in the internet (listing [...]

Palin’s Pentecostal-Size Problem

It appears that Senator Barack Obama is not the only one with a pastor in the closet. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, who will be running with Senator John McCain as the Vice-Presidential candidate from the Republican Party, may not only have a fiery pastor to explain, but her own sermon/speech as well. Palin’s use [...]

President Bush was right until he got to the part about John McCain

Here is what President George W. Bush said last night at the Republican National Convention. In his speech to the convention, delivered via video hookup from the White House, Bush harked back to the attacks of Sept. 11, saying, “We live in a dangerous world. And we need a president who understands the lessons of [...]

Celebrate the DNC by Fulfilling a Politician’s Commitment

Politicians tend to make heaps of promises they neither fulfill nor even make the attempt to. Most are in the political arena, but sometimes a personal commitment- a good one- slips by the wayside when it really shouldn’t. Isolated instances of forgotten personal commitments may or may not be a reflection of the character of [...]

Rick Davis, McCain’s latest campaign manager, doesn’t cut it either

One of the chief criteria of being President of the United States, is having the good judgment when it comes to key appointments. Several weeks ago, Senator McCain fired his campaign manager and chief political strategist (or the “chief of lacking in political strategy”), and appointed Rick Davis to be his new campaign manager. After [...]

Polls showing Obama the “landslide winner” premature

To all Barack Obama supporters, volunteers and fans: the polls showing Barack Obama a “landslide winner” are a bit premature. While it is true that the overseas trip created a “Berlin Bounce,” I caution against over-confidence and the perception that we are arrogant. The polling question of the morning seems to be whether Barack Obama [...]

Eich bein eine “Barack Obama”

Thanks in large measure to the encouragement of his political opponent John McCain, Barack Obama ventured on a fact-finding tour of the Middle East, and as long as he was close by, stopped in Berlin, Germany. Saying he had come to Berlin “not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen — a proud [...]

Barack Obama is an outstanding leader exerting his influence on Iraqi policy

Barack Obama is an outstanding leader. If the American people didn’t know it before, they know it now as evidenced by the following he has among the Iraqi leaders. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki agrees with Barack Obama’s position on withdrawal. BAGHDAD, July 21 — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama conferred with senior Iraqi leaders, [...]

Iranians upset with the McCain cigarette comment

I told Mike it wasn’t a joke made in good humor–a poor taste of civility (poking fun here, folks). Anyway, it’s upset some Iranians, but since the Iranians quoted are from the government, they automatically equate it with genocide. This is what happens when you get the McCain making remarks and the ever-boastful Iranian regime [...]

It’s about “confidence” and “trust” in our great nation

One of my fellow writers here at the Political Inquirer asked the question,” “Tell me, Reading; specifically what could the government do to fix the economy short-term? Spend more non-existent money?” Mike, I don’t think you get it because it’s not about the money or short-term money fixes. It’s about “confidence” in government. It’s about [...]
