Divided we stand
Obama referring to Bush now as “John McCain’s president”
Media Blog’s less than amused to find the candidate of Hopenchange pulling tired shadow-government rhetoric from Ace’s Little Leftwing Book of Civil Political Discourse, but we are after all talking about a guy with his own presidential seal. This reminds me of when Democrats go abroad to commiserate with enemy leaders in that I’m never sure what the proper response is: Tit for tat, or take the high road? Complaining about it doesn’t do any good, but “let’s see how you like it when we do it” seems vastly worse. Exit question: How do you solve this problem? Besides, of course, putting Obama on the spot by asking him to tell us who “his” president is.
Want an Obama lawn sign? Cough up the cash!
A few days ago I received a letter from Barack Obama, pleading that I “rush a generous contribution” to him. I placed the return envelope in my checkbook.
The same evening I got a call from his campaign asking me to door-knock on the weekend. I already had plans but I agreed to future weekends.
Then I requested a lawn sign. The volunteer informed me that I could buy one at campaign headquarters.
Buy one? Purchased in bulk, a two-color lawn sign might cost the Obama campaign $1. I checked the Obama ‘08 Web site. They offer the budget-conscious supporter a generic 26-by-16-inch sign for $8. For those Obamites into conspicuous consumption, the site advertises a variety of 22-by-15-inch designer signs for $19.99. If this were an oil company, the Democrats would be accusing it of price gouging. As Kurt Vonnegut put it, “So it goes.”

Wow. Just when I think Obama can’t say anything stupider than his most recent gaffe, he offers up an even larger dose of stupidity. Sheesh, with so much time between now and November, one can only imagine how much farther it could go.

John McCain’s President? Give me a break. It’s like the bumper stickers that say George Bush is not my President. When I was on Active Service from 1973 to 1993(Thanks for the check, all you taxpayers), it didn’t matter who was holding the office. The President is the President. I served under 6 of them starting with Richard Nixon and ending with William Clinton. Times were good and bad during those 20 years. The best was under Ronald Reagan and the worst was under Jimmy Carter. But were instructed that we served the Office not the individual holding the Office. The Nation needs to keep this in mind. BTW,I retired a little over 8 months after Mr. Clinton was inaugurated.

Thank you for your service Mr Cassel. The presidential rule applies to all of us. I may not like the person serving, but unless I decide to pack up and leave this great country, for better or worse, the person that is sworn in, is my POTUS.
My first thought when I saw the quote from Obama: who is dividing this country?

Dividing America by promoting class warfare, encouraging envy, and feeding racism is the Democrite secret to their success.

#4 libbie basher: That’s why Obama will not release his original birth cetificate. Because his true full name is Barack Saddam Hussein Osama Obama.
