The Coming of the White Obama!

Former President Bill Clinton is heading to California to fully endorse San Francisco’s Mayor Gavin Newsom for the Governorship of California.   If you think Barack Obama is clueless on how to run a government, you better watch your peas and cues and point your radar screen to the meteoric rise of Gavin Newsom in [...]

Democrat.

Today, that is a strange word, because the folks who claim that mantel are decidedly different from anyone claiming to be a Democrat from the past.   However, it needs to be noted these people who claim today to be Democrats are not to be associated with Democrats of the Roosevelt or even Truman eras.  Though [...]

What is an American to do?

With President Obama calmly taking vacation and not bothering to address any of the questions many brave non-drinking Kool-Aid Broadcasters and Reporters are begging him to answer, what is a concerned American to do? And how is a concerned American to take all of this non- response from his President? With individuals of dubious background [...]

I’m sticking my neck out, It’ll be Hillary Clinton

It only makes sense. Senator Barack Obama will pick Senator Hillary Clinton as his Vice-Presidential running mate. Several stories indicate an openness on the part of the campaign to a Hillary Clinton candidacy. Barack Obama needs Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton needs Barack Obama. This ticket, in spite of my own reservations, is the only [...]

It is time to grant Cuba “full diplomatic relations”

For nearly fifty years the United States have shut out an island that is ninety miles from American soil. Of all the Presidential candidates this election, Barack Obama has come the closest to saying he would extend an olive branch to Cuba by having face-to-face talks with Cuban leader Raul Castro. But he falls short [...]

Conservatism redefined before our very eyes

Sigh. The “conservative” Jonah Goldberg (National Review) has finally come out in the open and admitted he’s not a true conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Instead of redefining conservatism as Goldwater-esque, he has decided it is best to accept the McCain ideology and wants McCain to reach across the isle to a Democrat [...]

Will Gay Marriage Become a Front-and-Center Issue?

MSNBC and the New York Times are asking this question, “After [the] ruling, [is] gay marriage an issue again?” This is of course referring to the ruling here in California that took place yesterday and has already been briefly discussed here on this blog. What do the writers and readers of The Political Inquirer think? Does [...]

To the winner go the spoils, Rahm Emanuel must know

Congressman Rahm Emanuel, from the great state of Illinois, said that Senator Ted Kennedy should not have said something to the effect that Hillary Clinton should not be on the Obama ticket. It would seem that Rahm is overly sensitive to this issue. It is Emauel who has supposedly remained neutral in this campaign because [...]

Paul Begala and the Democrat strategy to win

Sadly, I think Paul Begala is right. Democrats just cannot win without the working “blue collar” votes–if Obama can’t pick up enough of those, he will still get 45% of the vote but lose in a Dukakis-type fashion. Begala “The Forehead” had this to say: On Tuesday night, we mentioned the dustup between two Democratic [...]

The Clinton and Obama list of Lies

Interesting list that Norm sent me for Obama, the one below it is a list of Clinton lies that I found and put up as well. The Obama list is a bit longer, but please add your own list of lies that either of these two candidates have made, could make for some interesting discussion: [...]

Indiana and North Carolina Primary Predictions

My prediction for the primaries is that the Indiana polling data is correct, Hillary will win there by a comfortable enough margin. It seems to be about 48.3% for Clinton and 42.5% for Obama, according to RealClearPolitics, I suspect the end result will be around a 5 point lead for Clinton. North Carolina is where [...]

Operation Chaos and the saving of Hillary Clinton

The New York Times is running a piece on Republicans that are voting in the Democrat primary. The story mostly talks about those who are crossing over to vote for Barack Obama, but there is mention of possibly the most interesting “covert operation” of any national election held in the United States: Operation Chaos. Rush [...]

Hillary’s Dishonesty on Gas Taxes

Incase you missed it, Hillary Clinton is actually in favor of a suspension of the gas tax. What’s that, Republicans? A Democrat in favor of a tax cut? There must be a catch, right? Yes, there is. The New York senator highlighted new oil company profit figures as evidence her proposed windfall profits tax was [...]

Reverend Wright controversy was mishandled: by Reverend Wright

This will more than likely be my last posting about Reverend Jeremiah Wright, not because there is nothing more to say but because the interest will not be there. I continue to write about it today because the readers of this blog are still interested in reading about him and commenting on him. But soon, [...]

Conservative Commentator explains why Jeremiah Wright is undermining Obama

I don’t make it a practice to quote conservative commentators, much less even read them, but I must say Tom Roeser caught my attention when explaining Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s actions of late. Two Reasons. Knowledgeable African Americans, some of whom attend Trinity United Church of Christ, tell me that there are two reasons why the [...]

Stop the Obama love-fest

People have got to get over their crush on Obama. Obama is still in this; and the Wright fiasco gives him a chance to remove this cloud and address it again. He has the most votes, the most states, the most money, the most new voters and the most delegates and the most Senators on [...]

The Slowness of Politics

This time of year is usually “down-time” for politics. Things get boring as people prepare for the ‘good news’ that starts during May and June. Right now is a really bad time, and I’ve gotten tired of it. The Hillary-Barack race has gone on far too long, leading to hatred on both sides. Republicans are [...]

Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not a wuss, he’s a Marine that is “Always Faithful”

Reverend Jeremiah Wright will one day owe Sean Hannity a great deal of gratitude for making him famous. Unfortunately for Hannity, his attempt at a high tech media-lynching was to make Reverend Wright “infamous” and not “famous” and “respected.” This attempt at a high tech media-lynching failed. Reverend Wright is now showing the world what [...]

Competition for Newsday

Rupert Murdoch offered $580 million for the newspaper Newsday. Now Mortimer Zuckerman offers the same amount. If Murdoch gets it, we can be certain that Newsday won’t be going out of circulation anytime soon, but to tell you the truth I hope he loses the bid simply because of his grapple on the media. We [...]

Hillary Clinton using Karl Rove’s tactic, attack your opponent’s strength

Hillary Clinton is taking a chapter from Karl Rove’s book. The book could be titled “Political Success: No Matter What the Price.” His tactic is to relentlessly attack your opponent’s strength, forcing them to defend their strength, causing the electorate to think that maybe this isn’t a strength. Planting doubt in the minds of the [...]
