Obama is the man

I don’t mean that in the sense that he is a good guy, or a politician I support, or someone I admire because Barack Obama isn’t any of those things. He is the man in the sense that Barack Hussein Obama has locked the Democratic nomination. The writing is on the wall and the wrangling that is still going on is a pointless waste of time. Barack is the dude who will be running against John “2013″ McCain for leadership of this rudderless ship we all share called the United States of America. I am sure Hillary Clinton will play some sort of prominent role in the new administration should Obama find himself elected.

I once thought that the worst thing that could happen to the United States would be Hillary Clinton as President. I’m not really in that mindset any longer. A Barack Obama presidency won’t be significantly different from what we could have expected under the reign of Hillary Clinton. Although I have a strong personal dislike for Ms. Clinton and I cringe and feel like ranting every time I hear her grating, ego laden voice on my car radio, the broad goals of either individual are the same - a socialist nation where the common them is mediocrity. John McCain would lead us down the same path if given the opportunity.

I envision a time when the United States finds itself in the situation Mexico is in today. Instead of guarding our borders against those who want to come here for the myriad opportunities we will be guarding them against those who want to escape in order to be able to make their own choices.

And that is the only key point you need to know about all three of these powermongers: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain have one common theme - they want to make choices on your behalf. A life bereft of choices is a life without joy. Remember that on election day.

All you can count on if you vote Democrat or Republican is fewer choices in the coming four years.

Hillary Clinton’s plethora of lies

Hillary the liarI’m glad the media is at least acknowledging that Hillary has honesty problems (and that is a nice way of putting it.)

In the waning days of the Democratic presidential nominating contest, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) finds herself battling two opponents: Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), and her own words.

The truth about Hillary is that she can’t remember the truth. This happens to anyone who makes a habit of lying by exaggerating the facts, twisting the truth and bending reality to suit his or her dreams of how things ought to be.

A person who cannot keep track of the truth or be bothered with facts should not be considered as a potential leader for 300 million people. That doesn’t mean such people have not been in charge in the past, or that such people will not lead us in the future.

All I mean to say is that I will never ever follow such a person. I might tolerate him or her but I will not honor, respect or pay homage to an individual for whom lying is a way of life. We all lie. We all have secrets. No of us is completely honest 100% of the time (at least not the successful people among us.) I have no problem discussing that rationally.

On the other hand, when a person lies so much that it becomes publicly obvious the person is habitually bending or misrepresenting the truth and cannot keep straight the lines between reality and made up stories, well that person loses credibility. Hillary Rodham Clinton lost her last shred of credibility years ago, while her husband Blowjob Bill was still the liar in chief. Now she wants to become the next liar in chief? I think not.

Barack Obama may also be a habitual liar. Most politicians have to be to survive in our current political landscape. He has not yet proved himself to be the disappointment I think he can be though. Perhaps America will give him that chance. In fact, I’d almost be disppointed if she didn’t. On a ship of fools, the captain might as well be another fool. When the wind in your sails consists primarily of empty promises Obama is as good a choice for Democratic nominee as any other and maybe a slightly better choice than Hillary because more people can still share the Democratic dream of making the world a better place by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor without fully understanding the long term consequences of such a policy.

Meanwhile:

In a March poll by Gallup, only 44 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that she “is honest and trustworthy,” compared with 63 percent who said that about Obama and 67 percent said it about the Republican nominee-to-be, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

If only 44 percent of respondents think Hillary is trustworthy why is she still a U.S. Senator? Take that question a step further. Only 3% of Americans fully trust Congress. Why the hell are we still putting up with them then? Our system is clearly broken. The next question should be, what can we do to fix it?

Electing Obama or McCain can’t be the answer, since both of them come from the same august body of career liars as Hillary Rodham Clinton.
