Are you ready for a change? Real change? Obama’s type of change?
Well, how’s this for a change.
Remember how Barack Obama said that it was a hollow gesture to wear the flag on one’s lapel. Check out his lapel right now. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman?
Heck no. It’s a flag pin. 
He was asked why it had reappeared on his lapel. He gave some cock and bull yarn about it having been handed to him by a veteran who told him it was important. Nice try Barack. Veterans are good for one’s look when the cameras are rolling.
More likely that the presumptive Democratic nominee is trying to persuade the flag-loving blue-collar folk of the Appalachians that he can be their candidate too. It simply is no coincidence that the pin has reappeared on his lapel in recent days. Those hard working ( do I dare say “white” Americans….and by this I do not mean to say that non-white Americans don’t work hard….I’m brown and I work three jobs) Americans love the flag. They love the National Anthem( which Barack Obama wants to change to….are you ready for this… “I’d Like to Teach The World To Sing in Perfect Harmony…” …Gag) which Obama says he cannot salute because it is too bellicose (Google it….you only know this if you are a Harvard elite).
This is an appeal to any mid-westerner who loves the Flag and the Anthem and who works hard….please don’t vote for this flake!!!!!We can all do better.

This is what Jacob Rigg….Barack Obama’s speech writer says about himself:
I am a lobbyist specialising in several areas of public policy - taxation, financial regulation, compeition and trade and the environment eg. carbon markets.
I do not work in silos but operate across the political spectrum, running integrated campaigns founded on a deep knowledge of specialist policy areas. I have experience of lobbying in the UK, the EU and the US Federal institutions. I am registered as a US Federal lobbyist.
I have run local and national campaigns for the Liberal Democrats, for over a decade. I have worked with Chris Huhne MP as his Press Secretary on his first leadership campaign. I have also worked as a major donor fundraiser for Senator Barack Obama.
I have published several peer reviewed economics papers on issues around environmental taxation as well as housing economics. I have written for the New Statesman, the Sun and the Independent. I have appeared on Sky News and Radio 4.
So, someone try explaining this. A lobbyist writes Obama’s speeches. All the big speeches Obama gives. Including the one where the whole liberal left compared Obama to John Kennedy’s “ask not what your country” speech…..and yet Obama’s people can point a finger at John McCain about associating with lobbyists?
Hmmmmmmm….I wonder how this works?
Remember the dictum about living in glass houses, anyone?

There is an excellent article on Barack Obama’s theatricality and the drammatic use of flowery language in his seeches. Apparently, it’s not so much about chrisma as it is having a great speech writer. Read the article here

President Bush, while addressing the Israeli Nation today, said it was naive and stupid to think that we could sit down with Iran or any other rogue nation hoping that some great and illuminating idea would change their minds. As though anything we said could cause them to evolve from the primordial protoplasmic slime that they are, into sophisticated human beings capable of mature world relationships. Bush quoted the disillusioned politician who said, “I wish I could have talked to Hitler,” while Nazi tanks were rolling across the Polish Border.
It was a shot at Barack Obama and a well deserved one. It is the epitome of naiveté at it worst.
The truth hurts because Tom Daschle (remember him?) and the Obama Campaign came back right away to condemn the remark and call it rankly political.
The idea of diplomatic negotiation with any openly terrorist, rogue and unreasonable nation is a naive one. Someone dig Neville Chamberlain up and ask him……
John McCain, speaking in Columbus Ohio, this morning painted a scenario for 2013. His third year in office. Nice touch. He painted a great picture. He has been working with congress and the world on everything from reducing the federal bureaucracy to world terror.
Iraq has been won. The Iraqi Government is strong and our country has welcomed most of our troops.
The Taliban and Al Quaeda have all but disappeared. The Pakistan is working with us to tame their regional problems with tribes in the north. There has still been no terrorist attack in the US since 2001. Iran is tamed by the world, with the cooperation of Russia and China.
The army and the Marine Corp have substantially increased because of vastly improved benefits both educational and health. Dafur has been fixed and is being supervised by the League of Democracies.
Corporate taxes have been vastly reduced and is now equal to the rates of our competitors in the world. The child exemption has been doubled. There has been tax reform. People have a choice. They can use a simpler code offering a flat tax or use the current system.
Education has been improved because of competition from private schools because of a voucher system. He has used his veto on every bill submitted that contains earmarks. The President holds weekly press conferences and regularly appears before both houses of congress to field questions. Partisan Politics has disappeared.
Pretty impressive….Now John has to sell these ideas. To get this kind of a mandate, John will have to win a lot of votes. After hearing this speech this morning, the American people might just give him what he needs.
Americans are fed up with the way the country is going. People are loosing jobs, emergency rooms are closing down, States are going broke, gasoline costs $4 a gallon, retirement next eggs are vanishing, homes are being foreclosed on, and Iraq is stagnant. The unhappiness is articulated in opinion polls about Congress and the President. 
Can these numbers get any lower? Can we any more disenchanted with those idiots on the Hill who we have entrusted to make our laws? At least Bush has a good excuse. Iraq is bringing him down. The terrorists are almost kicking our collectives asses and Americans don’t like to loose. But what Pelosi and reed’s excuse?
I do not understand why 15% of all Americans are griping about the country. After all, even our poorest have TVs, Microwaves, Telephones and heat in the Winter. They should try living in Myanmar or Bangle Desh. But I agree about Congress. Can we fire all of them and get new ones?
Barack Obama says that his opinion and stance on Hamas is not distinguishable from Hillary Clinton’s or John McCain.
That’s a new one.
Now he wants to treat terorists like the Republican wants to treat them. Remember that John McCain wants to “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran…” (with apologies to the Beach Boys) while BO wants to sit down and talk with a leader who called Israel a sticking corpse (and wants to annihilate it) just last week. He rejects Jimmy Carter’s description of Israel as an apartheid state but will not condemn Carter’s reaching out to terrorists and legtimizing them in the process.
Remember how Iran let the hostages go within minutes of Reagan’s getting sworn in? Expect the opposite in the terrorist world if BO ever (GOD FORBID) gets sworn in as President.
We need to clear- up something. I am not a white American. I am not racist. I think America is ready for a black President. I think America is ready for a female President. The problem is that neither the black man nor the female running is qualified for the job. The female running has to continually fake experience to make herself viable. Her qualifications amount to pillow-talk with a spouse who was Chief Executive, albeit for eight years, during which their relationship was rocky because of his profligate nature. How much pillow talk, of any nature, is there between spouses who are not in a devoted relationship? So much for her experience.
Now for the black gentleman. He has been a US Senator for three years. But, during two of those three years he has been running a campaign for President. Are we really buying this man’s experience, as a senator, as part of his qualifications for President? Part of his Senatorial duties was to be chairman of the subcommittee on Europe. He got this post in January 2007. And shortly after that, he started running for President. Since January 2007, he has never held a single hearing in his sub-committee. This is Europe we are talking about. Europe means NATO. NATO is supposed to be involved in the war on terror with us. And Mr. Obama was too busy running for President to hold a meeting on Nato and Europe. Now, someone explain to me, how this is leadership. He has just one thing to do as a Senator. One thing that influences out National Security because it impacts allies helping us with the war on terror, and he neglects it because of his campaign. He is going to talk to all our enemies. He wants to talk to Iran and North Korea. He will probably talk until something better comes along. I really, really want a person like that for President.
I guess, deep down, I am really a bigot. I am unreasonably against inexperienced, neophytes masquerading as qualified candidates for President of the Untied States, running for the office. So, sue me!
Someone in the McCain Campaign leaked the fact that Huckabee is at the top of the short list for VP candidates. This has got to be the worst move that John McCain could ever make. Huckabee will give the lefties ammunition in regard to religion and the Vast Right Wing conspiracy. Can you imagine what fun all the idiot comedians will have with a former Baptist minister being VP? Huckabee will also turn off all the moderates that John has attracted. He’s against gay marriage and he’s against abortion. Keep in mind that all conservatives feel that way, but with the “minister” label, this makes it even more noticeable and even more fun to point out. Someone said that Huckabee was a Pro-Life Liberal. I believe that is true. What about granting all the pardons while he was governor? Have we forgotten? Didn’t he raise taxes? If there is a God and he IS a Republican, which I think is true, then McCain will come to his senses and choose Romney.
The starting point of any discussion of America’s energy future has to be this: Shortsighted politicians have created the current energy crisis.
For decades left-leaning politicians have advocated higher prices and less energy. They were going to save the environment by punishing Americans into driving less and driving smaller cars. Now their policies have succeeded with a vengeance.
The very left wing politicians who favored a policy of no oil and gas exploration, no use of coal, no development of nuclear power, and no aggressive development of new technologies are now panic-stricken that their policies of higher prices have led to higher prices.
And now the same shortsighted, dishonest politicians who created the crisis are blaming everyone but themselves for the crisis. Because they refuse to be honest about the policies which led to this crisis, they can’t be honest about the policies that will lead us out of it.
The politicians want scapegoats. The American people just want solutions.
