Our Billion Dollar President

So far it has cost nearly one billion dollars to get Barack Obama elected and inaugurated. That has to be a record breaker. Think how much money that is per vote for him. Whew! And with the stimulus package he is proposing, he won’t be in office a week before he is nearly a two [...]

My Sin

God knows, I am a sinner. Like all people I disobey God, or I fall into periods where my love for Him is not foremost in my mind. I feel anger, pride, jealousy. And these are all wrong. Although my religion (Catholicism) teaches that there are venial and mortal sins, I do believe any act [...]

Obama denied job in his own administration

In a surprise announcement today, Joe Biden, Vice President-elect, and Obama’s White House chief of staff-select Rahm Emanuel announced that Barack Obama could not have a job in his own administration, because of a questionnaire the President Elect was using to vet potential candidates for the bureaucracy. “Our questionnaire is very thorough,” Biden said. “We want to [...]

Obama’s Willing Executioners

Barack Obama was elected with euphoria on the part of his supporters on Nov. 4, 2008. So starry-eyed was one of my friends he told me, “I think Barack Obama may prove to be one of the greatest presidents in American history.”  Then Prop 8 passed. And the news media reported that 7 out of [...]

The Power of a Positive No

I have been reading a book by William Ury called The Power of a Positive No: Save the Deal, Save the Relationship–and Still Say No. I do not know what Ury’s politics are, so please note that this post is not about his politic position, but rather it is about mine.
Ury writes in his book [...]

Obama Chooses Alexrod, Beyonce et al for White House Posts

Now that I have helped Obama pick his cabinet, I would like to help him with other problems he is going to face in his First Hundred Days. He needs the right press secretary and there are a lot of gay guys or guys on the down low vying for that job: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, [...]

Clinton leading…

58% to 42% amongst gun owners? What gun owner would vote for Obama? Leading among church-goers, I totally get; she leads among them too. I think she leads well, which is why I am all for her and not for him.
I am predicting she gets him by 12% points just because I have a gambling [...]

The Obamacrat

Are we witnessing a new creation in this election? I don’t mean hope change yes we can positive attitude new. I mean, are we seeing the creation of a new ideology, not yet fully formed or adequately articulated, that we might call Obamacracy? I read the other day a blog that knocked me back a [...]

Is the Party over?

Before I read the 1 billion news items and blogs on the debate between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, I want to put my thoughts down on my virtual paper. I have a fair idea what will be said from both sides of the aisle: Clinton supporters will saying she was presidential; Obama supporters will be [...]

The Audacity of Hype has finally caught up with him…

[Politics: Obama unmasked by Andrew Stephen Published 10 January 2008 (before the Rev. Wright story broke). Stephen couldn't have been more spot-on than if he had predicted the NCAA Final Four. MOREOVER, it just gets more and more true. Obama's sexism and non-post-racial stances are ever more in evidence.]
What’s going wrong for the man who [...]
