I did have a little bit of commentary on the bullshit that is the entire situation with Barack Obama’s Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. There’s an interesting video floating around online that brings the entire context of his beliefs. Love or hate Rev. Wright, he’s an amazingly captivating speaker. It’s also an interesting spin to see Mike Huckabee defend the specific actions of Barack Obama’s Pastor, not Obama.
Came across this, it just launched today. Looks pretty cool… I subscribed… hope it turns out to be good. Check it http://www.moblogic.tv/
Did you know that when Bill Clinton was president Hillary Clinton was not allowed or even cleared, for security purposes, to anything in regards to National Policy talks, International Affairs, or even day to day National Security Briefings? She touts her abilities as a strong hold and relies heavily on the experience she’s had in not only the last few years as a Senator but when her boy was President. I’ll be the first to admit the great things Bill did for our economy and what not, I understand all of that. However, Hillary has absolutely no valid ground to stand on and her wins today still keep her pretty far behind Obama in over all Delegates. Her Senate voting record is spotty at best. As of today, Barack has 1311 and Hillary has 1211 Delegates. Although Hillary deserves the applause for breaking the long string of winning that gave Barack the momentum he’s currently high on, the war (at home) is far from over. Please keep in the mind, as of right now, Obama has not lost the Caucus in Texas. He’s being seen as keeping a pretty decent spread over Hillary.
Educate yourself.
With $25000 rooms at the Bellagio and Four Seasons, The New York Times is reporting Hillary Clinton is quickly going broke. She has been known to have some of the most expensive advisors out there, collecting millions a month. It’s interesting that even when you donate $5 Million of your own money to your own campaign and you’re still going broke. It is a prime example that this time around, the American people will not be bought out… Hopefully. The rumor of Bill selling old saxophones is a possible hoax, it’s hard to say at this point.

Is for a better America. Was my post too much?
Leave a comment and let me know how you feel.
I’ve never been more moved by a candidate than I am by Barack Obama. I openly expressed my support for Ron Paul just off reading what he was about. I grew up in the nineties and lived in Texas at the time of Ross Perot. His craziness and drive to push something “better” upon this country was shadowed by his greed and the fact he physically owned a good portion of the state of Texas, as far as land is concerned, made it a little scary. I enjoy what Ron Paul stands for but the fact that he wants to abolish the IRS screams one thing to me. That one thing is high hopes. Are they too high? I believe they are. I was having a conversation with my girlfriend the other day about settling for a candidate. She feels very strongly that she doesn’t want to just settle. She wants to really vote for someone that is best for America. She wants to vote for someone she confidently supports. This really resinated with me. The fact is, Ron Paul is a dreamer. He’s a man with high hopes, most of which I believe are much too hard to reach in one term, much less two, and even ten, if it were possible. If we walk away appreciating anything Ron Paul has done for this election, make it the following: He’s made people think outside the box. That term is so overused, but he has. He’s made a regular American college student want to get involved. He made me want to participate in fixing the terrible atrocities that are our country.
Now that I’m there, I’ve begun to think. I’ve begun to open my mind and not settle, but like I said, I confidently support Barack Obama. Barack Obama never supported the war.
“Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. In 2002, as the conventional thinking in Washington lined up for war, Obama had the judgment and courage to speak out against the war. He said the war would lead to “an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs and undetermined consequences.” In January 2007, Obama introduced legislation to responsibly end the war in Iraq, with a phased withdrawal of troops engaged in combat operations.”
He questioned in 2002 about the possible issues that could come of Iraq. 6 or some odd years later and he was correct on a monumental level. We’ve seen the questions he’s brought up in the beginning develop into real issues. Obama will immediately begin bringing our troops home upon his election. Iraq’s religious undertones is the reason the battle is so rough. The implementation of their ideals and beliefs are alongside ours, they’re just willing to die for them. It’s virtually impossible to change the ideas they’ve lived by for hundreds of years. We either start the withdrawal now and suffer or we suffer later upon a far less accomplished exit. Either way we’re obviously looking at a painful walk home. We’ve lost. We’ve implemented very little democracy (the wrong way) into a country that doesn’t want it (in the form we’re presenting it). In my life, if you don’t want me to do you a favor or help you in a time of trouble, I won’t. I will not push my ideals down your throat until you want my head on a plate; we’ve done exactly this. I don’t want to live in an America that believes and practices the way we do now. I won’t move but I won’t stand for it.“
Obama will launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent American history to reach a new compact on the stability of Iraq and the Middle East. This effort will include all of Iraq’s neighbors — including Iran and Syria. This compact will aim to secure Iraq’s borders; keep neighboring countries from meddling inside Iraq; isolate al Qaeda; support reconciliation among Iraq’s sectarian groups; and provide financial support for Iraq’s reconstruction.
Obama plans on a fazed withdrawal from Iraq that will quickly, over a 16 month time table, help us move most all of our combat brigades out. His plan to obviously keep a small amount in Iraq to protect our embassy and extremely small amount of diplomats is required. He does say that if al Qaeda attempts to radically construct in Iraq, he will mobilize in the defeat of that sect.
Thank you for reading. Please understand that if I do anything for you, it’s to make you think. The goal of this blog is to present all walks of life, funny or not. This is serious and it’s coming down to the wire. Do yourself a favor and vote. I don’t care personally who you vote for, it’s your decision. If you don’t vote, walk around for the next 4 years (Starting 2009, you can talk until then) with your mouth shut, I don’t want to hear your opinion.

Not really. But if you ask General Motors GM Maximum Bob Lutz, he’ll agree with the title of this post. In fact, those are his words, taken from a recent private luncheon. He seems to think global warming is a “total crock of shit”, and I think he means it figuratively. Although, an enormous earthenware pot filled with feces could definitely be a danger to mankind as well. But no, here he’s basically saying that what’s happening to our planet is a bunch of hooey. He also went on to add “I’m a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn’t matter.” Finally, Maximum Bob, we can agree on something.
I’m still trying to get over the fact that this guy’s name is Maximum Bob. If you name your kid something similar, you can rest assured that he’ll grow up to be the bluest of the Blue Bloods, embodying the spirit of the true W.A.S.P. What I mean is that your kid will be a gigantic asshole that runs multi-billion dollar companies and continually puts his foot in his mouth. I’m thinking of changing my name to Ultimate Josh Mayhood.
