Antichrist Superstar…

Nicholas D. Kristof published an op-ed in yesterday’s New York Times that insinuates that preferring another candidate to Barack Obama is a sign of bigotry. Subtle. …the most monstrous bigotry in this election isn’t about either race or sex. It’s….

This is the quality, experience level and efficacy of the advisers and the first lady Obama promises to bring to the Whitehouse.

Which really raises the the obvious, that McCain has the wisdom to hire the best available advisers and cabinet members regardless of any other characteristic other than the ability to do the best job.
Or at least do a lot better job than Hill, Bill or Obama.

How did we get here?…

The latest is that Hillary keeps repeating that she has a lifetime of experience, that Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience, and that Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002. Video here….

The only 3:00 am phone calls that he will have to worry about is Rezko calling for bail money. If he was president I am sure they would have a physical person go fetch you. Of course Bush wasn’t too great with his midday performance on 9/11. Sometimes I wonder if Andy Card whispered to Bush, “Cheney said ‘sit your ass down and read the goat book.’ He has it covered. Then get in the jet and take the scenic route.”

Didn’t his follow-up commercial say he IS ready? Or did I , again, mishear Obama?

Dick Morris had a great idea for an Obama & Co. video reply: the red phone rings at 3am, a Hilary-looking woman answers it and says, “Bill, it’s for you.”

Amazing “we already knew that” admission of the day…

Check this out from the New York Times.
As Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton prepares for an afternoon news conference here in Washington, where she is to be surrounded by “military officers,” her campaign has put up a YouTube moment that you…

Susan Rice was one of the Clinton “whiz kids.” She was made an Assistant Secretary of State at age 33. Totally in over her head. She is also from a very elite and well connected family in Washington, D.C. So much for change!

Of the three McCain is clearly the most qualified for a 3 AM phone call… he’s typically in bed by 6 PM.

First of all, Barrack Hussien Obama wasn`t even present on the IRAQ vote that 95% of all Democrats voted yes on for all the same reasons the Clinton administration, and all of the major allies had made the same intelligence decisions that the Bush administration made. What more do you need other than Hussein invaded two countries, tried to assasinate a sitting American President [Bush 1], and killed more than a million Kurds with chemical weapons. The mistakes were significant in how we handled early IRAQ, but that is not the case now, and History will determine the rest, not some rookie yuppie senator who won`t wear a flag pin, or put his hand over his heart in respect for our national anthem, not to mention his Weatherman relationship,and the anti american/anti semite Muslim Louis Farrakhan. Is this the kind of Commander-in-Chief you want in Washington?

Cuffy Meigs brings up a good point. Susan Rice only has foreign policy experience only for African affairs, and was in charge of the crisis in Rwanda during the Clinton Administration. What did the Clinton Administration do for Rwanda? The million dead people there say nothing. So do those who are still alive.

Now if the phone rings at 3 AM and the enemies have nukes instead of machetes, do we want Susan Rice to answer it?

Like that other Obama advisor told the Canadians, “this is just campaign rhetoric, not to be taken seriously”.

Now, li’l chillun, down on your knees before Saint Barack and say, AAAAAAYYYYYYY-MEN!

Bush got the 3AM phone call. He kept reading My Pet Goat. Then he went into hiding.

Yes, Obama is going to take this country in a new direction . . . back to the 1970′s. (At least then Michelle Obama will really have something to whine about).

In light of that video clip, I’m trying to come up with a new Obama campaign slogan:

Barack Obama – Less ready for a crisis than Hillary

Barack Obama – Vote for hindsight

Barack Obama – Yes, we ca—well, actually, no we can’t

Barack Obama – If you wanted a woman President, this is the next best thing

Oh please. How hard is it to pick a phone up and say “we surrender”.

She might be his foreign policy advisor, but this is his national security advisor…

Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski

Mr Carter’s NSA during the ‘malaise’.

Change remains the same.
