Hillary blew a quarter of a billion dollars early in her campaign and ran out of money. Just who we want handling the national budget. She had no long-term strategy for winning beyond Super Tuesday. Just what we want in a Commander In Chief.

Barack Obama has NO foreign policy experience and would be as disastrous as Kennedy-Khruschev in Kennedy’s first year. This twit would be as successful in getting the world’s leaders to stop building nuclear bombs as he was at getting people to stop writing about his rancorous wife. And the Republic would be put in grave danger while these four self-absorbed narcissists plotted against each other. Macbeth in black and white, a fun national soap opera if the times weren’t so potentially perilous (Middle East, China-Russia alliance) Plus, imagine all the extreme leftists Obama would flood the bureaucracy with. And you’d never, ever get rid of the Black ones no matter how incompetent (racial discrimination suits would abound). That’s the best argument against Rush’s idea of letting Obama win this one, mess up like Carter and come back in four years.

And by the way, let us never forget to give credit for Russia’s gangster capitalism where it is due. When the Russians under Yeltsin came to the Clinton White House and asked for help in setting up a legal system, they were advised to “watch Law & Order”. THAT to me was Clinton’s greatest crime: telling the Russians to forgive and forget, not to root out and punish the depraved sadists responsible for the murder of so many millions of people. Now these depraved sadists are back and running the country.

I hate listening to speeches almost as much as I hate reading electronics instructions, BUT I did listen to McCain’s poorly delivered speech the other night and it was content-rich. I would like a great orator a la Reagan (and Obama’s popularity rests on the nation’s hunger for it after 12 years of Bush inarticulateness but I’ll happily settle for McCain’s terrific idea of having the President answer the Congress’s questions on a weekly basis (One of C-Span’s greatest weekly hits is the Prime Minister answering questions in the House of Commons) Read Christopher Hitchens’ online column. He (alone) noticed McCain’s suggestion).

I’m not one for political dirty tricks, but….would a pissed-off working class guy, please kill the teleprompter on Obama mid-speech one of these times? Please? Pretty please?

Obama doesn’t like being questioned or challenged. Have you noticed? You could get the impression the man’s running for King — or Emperor. And, given his political associations, including the half-brother and cousin in Kenya (read Dean’s comment in Rick Moran’s column yesterday on Mc-Cain-Obama) what if Obama’s models are those great liberators, Cuba’s Lincoln (NYTimes) or Venezuela’s?
