Obama's Magical Misery Tour

How Obama "Creates" Jobs

Obama's Speech

Well, there were two contradictory speeches slapped together in a fairly decent manner. The first speech was the same old junk we have heard from leftists and other statists for oh, about a hundred years or so. That part may have pleased his leftist base, but I am sure America's business owners, small and large, shuddered. He wrapped this in his own messianic crapola, pretending he can do things that quite frankly no government can do.

The second speech however, was quite good, and spoke to what is truly great about this country, and, if he was sincere, I applaud.

He claims to be ready to debate Mr. McCain. Why is it then that he hasn't agreed to very many, and those he seems to be agreeing to, are only three and only the most controlled kind? That calls into question his sincerity, and his real confidence on what he said tonight.

In the end, all I can say is, not bad. Not that good either.

In fact, after looking at how some folks look to the good Senator as some kind of a Messiah is: Senator Obama, I serve the Messiah. I know the Messiah. The Messiah is a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Messiah.

More Of The Same; or, In Which I Plagiarize a Page from Darth Plagiarus

Barack Obama will spend more of our money on alternative fuels that cost more than oil and increase food costs for everyone on earth, that's not change, that's more of the same.

Barack Obama will spend more of our money on health care, and continue turning the greatest health care system in the history of medicine into another socialist mess like Canada, England and France. That's not change, that's more of the same

Barack Obama will take more of our money and spend it on education, further wrecking what was once the greatest education system on earth by throwing money at the problem, when for generations, that hasn't made the situation better. That's not change, that's more of the same.

Barack Obama will rob from the rich and give to the poor, eroding America's wealth and further destroying the incentive for the small businessman to succeed. That's not change, that's more of the same.

Barack Obama will raise minimum wage, throwing the poor and unskilled laborer out of work. Then he will throw more of our money to the unemployed that he helped create. That's not change, that's more of the same.

Barack Obama will make government bigger, and bigger, and bigger. He will take more and more of our money to do so. That's not change, that's more of the same.

You want change, vote for Bob Barr. You want more of the same, choose from Column A or Column B. Either way, it's more of the same.

Democratic Convention Night One

Very touching Kennedy bit, Obama's kids are soooo cute.

Wake me up when something cool happens.

D&D in the White House?

I recently received this from my friend Tony. He got it from Rick Gallagher of Bookazine:

McCain Camp Links Obama Supporters to 'D&D'
Pejoratively
August 20, 2008
The 2008 presidential campaign has now made a connection, albeit a negative one, to pop culture; a spokesperson for Senator John McCain has tied supporters of Senator Barack Obama to #1 RPG Dungeons and Dragons. In a post on the McCain Website on Monday, Alexander Goldfarb wrote, “It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons and Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman’s memory of war from the comfort of mom’s basement, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others.” The post was responding to a blog on Daily Kos in which McCain’s story of a Vietnamese prison camp guard drawing a cross in the dirt is tied to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s similar story from the Soviet Gulag.

This isn’t the first time McCain spokesperson Goldfarb has inexplicably used Dungeons and Dragons as a “negative” association. In early August, he compared the editors of the New York Times to a blogger “sitting at home in his mother’s basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons and Dragons.”

Now, first off, I am NOT an Obama supporter. I don't see higher taxes and bigger, more intrusive government as being the kind of change I wanna see.

That being said, the idea of a president who knows what a D20 is is a change I can believe in :)
