    Initeresting commentary.

    "Americans voting for "change" should know they may get far more than they ever imagined."


    BO as President? Fine. BO as President with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of a filibuster proof Congress? You know, the Congress with the lowest approval ratings, EVER.


    But, like I have said before.... We will get the government we deserve. The more we look to "Big Brother" to solve our problems... Well, we will get what we deserve.

    Did anyone notice the crowd at that roast yesterday?

    Did people stand up when JM approached the dais? I noticed that the 'unbiased' were knocking chairs over to give BO a standing O.

    I really didn't pay attention to it because, as one commentator lamented, "People are losing their homes, jobs and money and these two are joking about it.

    I did catch the clip of JM on the Less-than-man Show and the look on Dave's face when JM told him he was going to pay more in taxes.

    ANd what is the "John", instead of "Senator" trip that everyone is on?

    I can hardly wait to see Dave falling over himself to interview Senator O-blah-ma

    What are you talking about?

    Merely observational tidbits. I do wat humble pie every once in a while, It's not bad for me and teaches me to read the menu a little closer.

    Everyone should try some, It really won't kill you.

    Uh, If you don't work you don't pay taxes.

    The Final Nail

    Well, Colin Powell just endorsed Obama on Meet the Press! I think this is the final nail in the McCain/Palin coffins.

    I know, some folks are going to say it is an ethnic vote, African American/black endorsing African American/black. Both men are not 100% AA.

    I think I may not have to move from the USA in November, as threatened. I have time to wait, and there is still a possibility that the outcome will be different than what I hoped for, but ..... we shall see.

    Note to self: Cancel the moving company for November.....

    I tuned in to the program, just as he made that announcment. Didn't
    see the whole interview, but I'll check it out later on the news website.

    Just saw the entire interview. Wow. It was a very well thought out
    opinion and given flawlessly by Colin Powell. I believe there are many other
    well respected Republicans who agree with him. Great interview. Links

    So CP's endorsement is worth what?

    One vote? His own?

    To even suggest that it's an "ethnic thing" smacks of a little "Racecardism".
    Everyone screams about it when they THINK some makes a statement that might be racist, But it's quite O.K. to come out suggest it and then bring in BO's and CP's background.


    Amazing.
