OMG! What A Difference A Word Makes

BEARINGS! Obama used this word when he was talking about something that McCain had said in the media. To me the word refers to a direction or a compass heading, but when did it become a word disparaging a person's age? Please, explain it to me. It takes a helluva imagination to get there from here.

I guess to be in politics, one would need to hire a walking thesaurus to accompany one everywhere to make sure that one's speech cannot be purposefully misinterpreted. It is just damn silly, to think that anything was implied by the use of the word bearing.

I will give the conservatives their props...they have a helluva imagination.

Onlookers Swoon For Bill

Did anyone see the stump speech where Bill is being Bill and taunting the crowd to vote for wifey. As usual he was basically talking about himself and once and awhile he would mention Hillary. But during a speech in rural North Carolina speech a viewer faints--he says, "need EMT and water over there"--and went back to speech without missing a beat. Then he tells the people to be quiet and give them room and returns to his speech without much concern.

The media reports on his comment, "I did not know I had that power at my age"...a little laughter and speech goes on.

There was no report of his attitude toward the person or his seemingly lack of concern for the situation. IMO, he was acting like....um...thinking....um....an ELITIST! Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Oh yeah, but Obama is the one with the free ride.

This is a good analysis that I do not agree with in most cases, but Howey seems to know about Indiana than I do but it makes interesting reading.

Candidates And Pep Rallies

I hate pep rallies! The candidates, all the candidates, and their stump speeches are just that....a pep rally. Complete with cheers, jeers, yells, whistles, applause and even a fight song, in some cases. It is all about winning, just like a high school pep rally.

Apparently, the American voter appreciates being treated like a juvenile. I guess that makes sense , since the mental capacity of most is about that of a 14 year old. That could go to explain it.

A good example, in Pennsylvania union, blue collar, non-college working class voted large for Clinton. Thinking...thinking....does anyone remember Bill and NAFTA? He basically, gave away their jobs to overseas. And they expect someone who supported the original agreement to somehow bring those jobs back? Yeah, right!

And then white women voted for a white woman...go figure.

Here is my fav, catholics voted for Clinton, but will mostly likely help elect McCain. Does anyone else see the utter lunacy of any of this? Does anyone see the game being played here?

This shows me that: 1--the voter is uninformed.....a polite way of saying stupid. 2--they like this stupid little game of politics makes them feel a little important for a short while. 3--Finally, there vote will probably not count, because the power elite already have their choice for president.

May the force be with you!

The Day After

Yes, what is next? Well Obama made his speech to shut the critics the hell up, all but one, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, but he does have a point about the blue collar worker that has been manipulated like a cheap whore over the years, and they may be taken a back by the speech. But if they get their news from FOX or ABC or MSNBC then they are not getting the whole speech. I as them to either listen to it or read before they snap off their hemorrhoids by their asses slamming shut.

But that was yesterday and now I want to talk about today, what can Clinton do to try and take the media's attention off Obama and return it to her. Thinking.....thinking....she has released her papers to the press. Tax returns and such, that should give a little rest from the Obama speech.

But she may still be in the background, the speech was way too inspiring to be replaced by a ba-zillion pages of crap the Clinton's want you to know.
