- Michelle Obama declared “I love this country” Monday as she sought to reassure the nation that she and her husband Barack share Americans’ bedrock values and belief in a dream of a better future.
Yet just a few weeks ago…
…I might as well set up a running header with links to McCain’s videos. Politics is fun.
- The picks say something profound about Obama: For all his self-confidence, the 47-year-old Illinois senator worried that he couldn’t beat Republican John McCain without help from a seasoned politician willing to attack. The Biden selection is the next logistical step in an Obama campaign that has become more negative – a strategic decision that may be necessary but threatens to run counter to his image.
Say hello to Senator Joe Biden… potentially the next Vice-President of the United States of America.
Mariners are good at something this year: vegetarian offerings
- “PETA is happy to provide a bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for the Mariners. Safeco offers veggie burgers, veggie dogs, baked potatoes, veggie sushi, fruit salad, pasta with marinara sauce, PB&J, edamame, veggie burritos, and veggie taco salad.â€
None of which we have eaten. (We prefer the Dixie’s BBQ and jumbo hot dogs.)
I.O.U.S.A. is a great film. We sat in a packed house in a large theater last night to watch both the documentary, as well as the post-movie live discussion session; Warren Buffet was one f the 5 on the discussion panel.
Not so much Bush-bashing as it was government incompetence-bashing. I highly recommend.
Though none of the liberal-Seattleites in the room would admit to it… I.O.U.S.A. is case for President for John McCain.
A Democrat’s take on why Obama’s “tax the rich” could mean bad things for business, translating into worse things for the economy, meaning even worse things for you:
-
“His “tax the rich” routine is going to cost me big money — money I don’t have because I heavily re-invest in my company. He clearly doesn’t understand how small businesses work.
If he raises taxes as promised, it will mean I’ll have to pay even higher taxes on money that I’m not seeing. That will force me — and a lot of other business owners — to take out more and reinvest less. That’s how you strangle a business — and ultimately the economy.”
But hey, keep trying to ‘stick it to the man’ you crazy hippies. Just keep in mind that ‘the man’ is providing 99% with out current jobs.
Obama thought he’d be silly and make fun of the fact that super-wealthy John McCain didn’t know how many properties he owned.
The McCain camp responds…
- The M’s starting pitchers have combined for two strikeouts in their last six starts. The odds of that have to be astronomical.
