First I want to say I am sick of the so called MSM experts saying how surprised they were as to the election turn out. There is no surprise here only a myriad of potential pitfalls and road blocks. Obama is the man! I would prefer Edwards in front but the people want Obama and he is not a blip. he is our next President unless any one of a myriad of nightmare scenarios crop up to keep the chief slime ball at the helm.I am really pleased that we hopefully have only one more childish tantrum from Bushie to listen to. President Bush gets what may be his final chance to steer the public debate Monday night in his last State of the Union address. With his aides privately acknowledging the moments Bush can be relevant are dwindling, the president is expected to press for a shortened list of proposals. With his legacy in mind, he'll urge Congress to extend some key initiatives of his tenure: tax cuts, the No Child Left Behind law, the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq.
Bush will be speaking under circumstances different from before, however, with economic fears roiling the country and the war in Iraq and terrorism concerns in the background, at least temporarily. The president is expected to urge swift passage of a $150 billion economic-stimulus package of tax rebates and other measures, which House leaders and the White House — but not the Senate — have agreed to, according to White House officials and others. He'll also press for the extension of a law that allows expanded electronic eavesdropping, including on communications that transit U.S. territory. The law is scheduled to expire Friday. On foreign policy, the president is expected to argue that the buildup of nearly 30,000 additional U.S. troops in Iraq improved that country's security. He'll tout his administration's commitment to Israeli-Palestinian peace and its efforts against AIDS and hunger in the developing world, particularly in Africa. Bush's proposed last tantrum
Before I get on to Obama yesterday we discussed what appears to be an obvious comm. pack on his back and a camouflaged ear piece in his ear and the fact that someone was caught whispering answers to Romney during his debate. We can not have another president that is controlled by others. That said, all the ignorance Bush is going to rant in his UnPresidential address tomorrow should be once again ignored for our benefit with the exception of that tax rebate for Businesses as he will falsely use that against us saying we are hurting the poor and the working class who get no benefit out of it anyway as you and I know!
Now once again voter fraud accusations rear their head in relation to the electronic voting machines. That never ends and never will as long as those underhanded machines are used. Speaking of them I do not recall hearing anything about the New Hampshire recount. Plus I understand Florida who relies on those machines exclusively is very concerned and nervous if there is another close election. That is not the big issue to me. That is only one of the numerous tools available today to underhandedly control the outcome of an election as you all know.
* My big concern is what is incorrectly being called a non issue, Race, during the presidential race it will be an issue! it speaks well for us as Democrats but we are not the entire electorate. It speaks as to the worthlessness of the so called experts in the MSM who were once again wrong and say Obama's landslide victory redefines the race. Not for me, nothing has change. Obama is still a given!
This great news to me but brings with it memories and concern! Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is expecting Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy to endorse Barack Obama for president. A Clinton campaign source tells CNN's Suzanne Malveaux the campaign was told "that Ted Kennedy is endorsing Obama and expecting it." Kennedy's niece, Caroline Kennedy, endorsed Obama today in a New York Times op-ed entitled, "A President Like My Father." political ticker
** Now my very real, Deep concern: the MSM says Race is not a concern here and they are dead wrong. It is not a concern of mine or many others in the Democratic party but remember this is only the Primary. I absolutely 100% expect Obama to be our nominee and will be our next President. However Caroline's endorsement of Obama saying he is most like her Father eliciting the support of the masses makes me remember one of my many concerns for these elections. As her Father was assassinated I fully believe that is a very real concern when it comes to running for the Presidency. There are many as you know, in the Republican party who will never accept it.
** I absolutely expect an attempt on his life if it looks like he will be elected. That would be just one of the excuses that may be caused by Bush's interests but it would give Bush his chance to curtail elections due to great revolt by the masses and declare martial law keeping him at the helm of his new (dis)order Forever wars!
