Some Pieces of Our Minds
In all of the thousands of photographs of Hillary on the campaign trail she always appears wearing trousers - not even one photograph with her wearing a skirt. Not a peep on the subject from any commentator or member of the media. Yet, if on a particularly steamy day campaigning in Florida or Georgia, Senator McCain wore a skirt, it would be the major story on every media outlet. Is this fair?
There was, rightfully, outrage when an MSNBC commentator referred to Mrs. Clinton as “pimping” out her daughter. The comment was disgusting beyond disgusting, but the point attempted to be made, while foul in its expression, might be valid in its underlying concept. The exploitive use of a particular person in a way where that individual’s personae is connected to a cause when the person’s views or expertise is unilluminating or irrelevant on the issues, is worthy of note, in an appropriate manner (as opposed to what was done on MSNBC). Chelsea Clinton was paraded about not because of anything she could offer by way of sagacity in foreign or domestic affairs. Let us be frank: she was on the tour because it pointed out Hillary’s non-robotic side – that she also is a mother – something that hopefully would resonate with other mothers.
But to be fair: They all do this. The Edwards campaign exploited Mrs. Edwards’ cancer. President Bush had his half-Latino Spanish-speaking nephew working his campaign in areas where his speaking Spanish and his ethnicity would help him. Celebrity endorsements are just another – perhaps more remote – manifestation of this same sort of campaign strategy.
All of this is fair game for comment IF the commentary is couched in appropriate and non-offensive language. Worse would be a paralyzing fear that frightens us into silence – even when it involves legitimate observations.
Obama has run a brilliant campaign, is a mesmerizing speaker, and has captured the yearnings and hopes of millions of people. He has transcended, in his appeal, race, ethnicity, age and sex. But the fact is that he is experienced in running no enterprise and yet seeks to run the largest enterprise in the world. He is virtually inexperienced in government, domestic and certainly foreign policy – all of which should be at the heart of any president’s expertise – and yet the same could really be said of Lincoln, and to some degree Franklin Roosevelt. But somewhere, somehow, what Churchill referred to as “a little mouse of thought” must be considered: That is, if Obama were white, given his lack of experience, he would not be in the lead for his party’s nomination for President of the United States.
Commentators should have the intellectual honesty to note this, as well as the fact that it might be, in effect, a good thing. His candidacy, with all of his lack of experience stands as a stark contrast and home for those people who are fed up, or, to be charitable, disenchanted with Washington’s business-as-usual, and the usual group of subjects simply playing musical chairs in the running of this country. Credit must also be given him for not claiming experience when it does not really exist – which is precisely what Hillary Clinton has done. Her experience basically has been to sleep with the President (hardly a unique claim – at least for females under eighty years of age in the Washington area), become an enabler for the President to carry on with his extra-marital activities and, as all first ladies, arrange for the catering of State dinners – hardly fitting the job description for a President.
Nobody mentions the fact that senators, of both parties run for president and ask us for our support, money, effort and loyalty. But yet these same senators do not have enough faith in their own cause to quit their day job and leave the senate. Putting aside the fact that if they are running for president, they cannot put in full time to do their jobs in the Senate (for which we pay them), why should we have faith in them and give them our money when they hedge their bets? Would it not make more sense to say to them, “When you show me you believe in yourself and your cause to the extent you give up your other job, then we will support you”? Is there any business where you can say to your boss, “Keep paying me my full salary for two years while I spend my time looking for another job”?

Petraeus
Vlog 54 Dems Fear Petraeus More Than Bin Laden
With Gen. David Petraeus’s report coming out soon and Bin Laden’s tape Just coming out, whose message do the Democrats fear more?
Hillary Clinton recently said that another Terrorist attack would only help the Republicans, but success in Iraq makes them quake in their boots. Petraeus months ago was touted by the Democrats as the best option for command in Iraq. If he can’t do the job, no one can! And now this same man, according to the Democratic leadership who unanimously confirmed him, can’t be trusted and will no doubt skew his report in the Presidents favor. Why are the Dems changing their opinion of the General you ask? Because months ago they counted on him to lose and now their worst fear may becoming true. G-d Bless America indeed! With “Leaders” like the ones we have in Congress right now, we need all the help we can get.

Jackie Mason Vlog 55 Democrats Have Gone Far Beyond Treason
A post Petraeus hearing follow-up to my previous vlog from Sunday, September 9th “Dems Fear Petraeus More Than Bin Laden”
The Democrats have proven themselves to be more reprobate and treasonous than even I could have predicted in my last vlog. They treated General Petraeus, this American hero who serves his country bravely, like a pig to slaughter. They never intended to hear good news from him. This was a set-up all along. A cold calculated plan they maneuvered months ago to take whatever the report was and skew it to their agenda. Hillary Clinton mentioned to believe the General’s report you must “…suspend your disbelief.” Well I’m in absolute disbelief how treacherous and treasonous this party has become.

Jackie Mason "John Edwards And Why The Press Stinks"
Edwards, the describer of Two Americas, invested in a hedge fund that took advantage of Hurricane Katrina victims. He told his fellow candidates to give up all money from News Corp, yet took money from one of their subsidiaries, Harper Collins, and spewed a buch of double speak when confronted about that. Forget about how rich he is and all the extravagance he has, while saying he’s a “champion for the poor”. That just shows what a plain hypocrite he is. Now he’s an out and out crook, and where is the media? Where is the outrage? A better question is where is democracy? A “one party”, sycophantic press and a Democratic Party hell bent on promoting an agenda, partners in the destruction of democracy.
