Obama Meets With US Presidents
Jan 7, 2009 Political
President Elect Barack Obama met with the current president and three past presidents today at the White House. Obama and current President Bush met privately and then the five gathered for a photo op and lunch. The Free Republic has the pictures and some humorous comments.
Protocol dictates that the men put differences aside during these kinds of events so there was no bickering, at least publicly, as the men who have served gave pointers to the man who is about to.
George W. Bush was a gracious host:
George W Bush gave him the warmest welcome. “One message that I have and I think we all share is that we want you to succeed,” he said. “We wish you all the very best, and so does the country.” Telegraph UK
While the men were heading off to eat Bill Clinton commented that he loved the rug in the Oval Office.
Since protocol dictates they act as gentlemen one can only imagine that the head voice inside George W Bush was saying; “Well, after your tenure the other rug was too stained to use.”

Schwarzenegger Blows Chance At Presidency
Dec 22, 2008 Political
Arnold Schwarzenegger gave an interview and he said that he would love to be president one day, “if it were possible.” Schwarzenegger is the governor of California but he is ineligible to be the president. Some might think that it is because of the Constitution as pointed out in the article:
At the moment, becoming president would be impossible. Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and became a U.S. citizen in 1983, is not a “natural born citizen” of the United States, as required by the Constitution. LA Times
Not being natural born is not what keeps Schwarzenegger from being eligible to run. What keeps him ineligible is that he made it known that he is not natural born. If he had a way to have all his records sealed, both here and in his native country, he could have claimed to have been born here and people would have no choice but to let him be president, provided he won the election.
That is exactly what we are doing with regard to Obama. He has yet to prove he was born here. Despite what the left says there has been no proof that he was born here and no official has stated that he was. Additionally, his birth certificate was never reviewed for authenticity. This has been hashed out before so I will not go into it again but comprehension is important with this issue.
As for Schwarzenegger, he screwed himself out of the chance to be president by doing things legally. His paperwork is out there for people to see and he has never said that he was born here. Obama claims he was but his granny said otherwise and the history shows that it is likely the case that he was born elsewhere.
I am just as happy that Schwarzenegger cannot run for the presidency. He is no different than John McCain in that he is a RINO who is willing to buy into liberal pap and to compromise principle. McCain was a far better selection than Obama but McCain is no conservative. Schwarzenegger is not one either and I would not want to see him occupy the White House.
We need true conservatives in office. When they run, they win because the majority in this nation hold conservative values. Despite what the left said about the last election being a repudiation of conservatism, it was not. George Bush is not a conservative and no conservative was in the general election.
The American public picked a far left liberal candidate over a moderately liberal one.
Sorry Arnie, you screwed yourself. For the rest of you non natural born citizens who want to run, start hiding your records now.

Obama Wins The Presidency
Nov 5, 2008 Political
I was working on this post before Obama had officially won though his victory was inevitable. Then he was declared the winner and John McCain conceded. I listened to the concession speech John gave and it was graceful and eloquent. John said that his former opponent was now going to be his president and that he [John]would have the honor of continuing to serve this country. John had to be gracious, I don’t.
I have stated in several posts that if Obama won then, as an American, he would be my president and I would pray that he led us well and did a good job. I hold true to that but I cannot support him or his ideas. I do not believe that government is the keeper of my brother. I do not believe Americans should be disarmed. I do not believe in globalization. I do not believe in liberalism and I do not believe in socialism or the redistribution of wealth. I don’t believe that government or its surrogates should attack private citizens as we saw with Joe the Plumber and the black panthers. I swore to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic and I believe that Barack Obama is a domestic enemy. I will do everything possible to ensure he does not bring his visions of America to fruition.
To my liberal friends, congratulations on your victory. I hope you are not hypocritical when your guy receives the criticisms you so eagerly and viciously leveled at George Bush. I can’t wait to see how you cover for him when he does the same things Bush did. I can’t wait to see how you attack people who are less than kind to Obama considering how you treated Bush.
I also hope you don’t mind a few I told you so’s along the way because Barack Obama will set us on a bad path. Hitler and Castro promised change and we know how that worked out. While Obama will not exterminate Jews he will sign legislation and appoint judges that guarantee the unborn will be murdered for any reason and at taxpayer expense. More unborn children have been killed in the abortion Holocaust than Jews died in Germany and under Obama that number will only grow. Unfortunately, Obama will not stop at the unborn as those who survive an abortion will be left to die. His Socialist ideas will rival Castro and that is an America that I cannot tolerate.
The upside to all this is that Hillary will likely never run again. The Democrats will not be able to blame George Bush or Republicans for the problems this nation faces because they will have control of the government so all that happens will be on their watch. I also am happy that I can disregard the cries of racism and the claims that America is racist. The white vote won this election for Obama. Now we can ignore the noise made by people like Sharpton and Jackson because a black man has reached the pinnacle. The racist past of America is well behind us and Obama’s victory erases any debt that people believe is owed.
Just to be clear, I do not wish any harm to him. That is not how America should work and anyone who attempts such things should be sent away for a long time. I will oppose him in the political arena and work from his first day in office until his last to see him defeated.
Good luck, we are going to need it.
God Bless America.

Bill Clinton wants a Smooch from Obama
Jun 29, 2008 Political
I wrote yesterday about the public meeting between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in Unity New Hampshire. I believe that Obama needs Clinton voters and Clinton needs Obama money and outside of that they have no use for each other. There are those who claim they are friends but I think that associates would be a more apt description and now that Hillary, who believes the presidency is her birthright, has been beaten by Obama, she has no use for him and anyone associated with him except to get her debt paid.
I also pointed out that Bill Clinton was not happy with the results and that he would not actively support Obama. If he did do anything for Obama it would not be with the enthusiasm he would have had if Hillary had won. He wants Obama to lose so Hilary can run in 2012.
There is a story out in the Telegraph UK that indicates Bill Clinton is still extremely bitter (does he cling to religion and guns) and that he continues to be condescending toward Obama and says Obama cannot win. There are reports that Clinton, who is upset that his reputation suffered, has shocked friends by his blatantly bitter attitude. Mr. Clinton reportedly said, to his friends, that Obama would have to “kiss my ass” if he wants his support. Clinton seems to have this thing about people’s lips being below his waistline.
We have heard that Bill Clinton holds a grudge (as does his wife) a long time and that they can be ruthless to those who are seen as disloyal to them. There were a lot of old Clinton people who jumped on the Obama bandwagon early on and I know that irritated them to no end. Bill Richardson was one who Bill found particularly upsetting. If Hillary ever makes it to the White House then there are a lot of people who will have absolute hell to pay.
It was amazing to see how so many people who thought the Clintons walked on water threw them overboard so quickly in order to latch on to the empty suit. The Clintons have a hit list of people who need political payback and they cannot wait to unleash their fury.
Given the number of former Clinton supporters who jumped ship early, I imagine Obama might have to get in line to give that kiss.

Sexism in Campaign is Overrated
Mar 3, 2008 Political
Gloria Steinem, the aging feminazi, is on the campaign trail stumping for Hillary Clinton. While Steinem is out discussing the supposed qualifications of she who would be Queen, it boils down to one qualification and that is, Hillary is a woman. Steinem discusses the campaign and how Hillary is not given a fair chance or how the media is better to Obama or any of the other claims made by the Clinton apologists. She throws in a few of the references to male domination and all the other excuses that women use when they fail to achieve. Women have made quantum leaps with regard to equality in the workplace and in education. There are many women in institutes of higher learning and there are plenty in the workplace and they are protected under Equal Opportunity laws to such a great extent that they receive benefits of affirmative action. Women owned businesses receive special treatment so much so that contractors align with them in order to win competitive bids. This is not good enough for the feminist Steinem because, in her eyes, there must be sexism involved if Hillary is losing. Steinem goes so far as to indicate John McCain’s time as a POW was overrated and if he were a woman men would ask what she did wrong to get shot down and captured. I think we all remember this being the case with Jessica Lynch, who by the way, was rescued by a bunch of men.
Steinem, while claiming to be a feminist, is supporting a candidate who cried, who relied on a man (her husband), who debated by whining about getting questions first and who generally ran a poor campaign. Hillary Clinton had a double digit lead when this whole thing started and she was the presumptive nominee long before the contests began in earnest. The campaign process was a mere formality. Instead of sexism, isn’t it just possible that people do not think she would be a good president? Isn’t it possible that after the population had a chance to see Hillary on the campaign trail they were less enamored with her? Top this off with a candidate who has the ability to say absolutely nothing and still thrill people (especially women) and it spells disaster for any candidate regardless of that person’s sex.
The idea that Hillary is being rejected because of sexism is absolutely ludicrous but the mere suggestion shows that even staunch Democrats believe that their party is comprised of sexists. It is not the Republican Party that is giving the nod to Obama, it is the Democrats who are voting for him over the woman who has been dubbed the smartest woman in the world. The Democratic establishment has also recognized that it has racists in it because anyone who opposes Obama is tagged as a racist. Remember, this is all coming from the party of diversity and tolerance.
Hillary Clinton is being rejected because she is a polarizing person. She rubs people the wrong way and, when compared to Obama, her lack of personality is glaringly obvious. The suggestion that America rejects her because of her sex ignores the flaws of the person and lays blame on the voters who are obviously too stupid to see that she deserves to win. The fact that she is a woman does not qualify her for the job though Steinem would have us believe this. There are plenty of women in this country who would do an admirable job as President just as there are many blacks who would do an equally good job. Yes, America is ready for a black or a woman but we are not ready for this black or that woman, not because of those qualities but because of what they represent with regard to the issues.
Steinem believes that Hillary is the best candidate and that is her opinion. Just because people do not accept Hillary does not mean people are sexists any more than those who reject Obama are racists. Does this mean there is no racism or sexism? Certainly not. There are people who will not vote for either of these candidates based solely on their race or sex. I would bet though, there are more people who will vote FOR them based on these attributes than against and that is just as bad. Some however, will vote for a person based upon a perception of qualifications. In some cases it will be the lesser of two evils as it usually is in politics.
If Steinem wants a woman to win perhaps they should run one who can win. I would also wonder if Steinem would have the same feelings were the losing female candidate a Republican? BTW Gloria, I would vote for a Conservative woman or black person if I thought they would do the best job.
We have 300 million people in this country and these three are the best we can come up with? That, in and of itself, is depressing.
