Those Darn Nit Pickers
The mind wobbles at this soap opera. Imagine for a moment that the story about Senator Obama’s Citizenship raises enough cry that the general media does take it up.
What happens next? Continue Reading »

TexasDarlin has an update on the birth certificate conundrum, read all the comments, before you assume it’s over. The whole thing reads like something out of the National Inquirer. Come on Barack, make this go away! Why does your citizenship even have to be a question, at this stage of the game? If McCain can get his straightened out, why can’t you”? He took care of his Panama issue months ago.

Sometimes Things Turn Out Unexpectedly
“Fancy rules over two thirds of the universe, the past and future, while reality is confined to the present.”
Jean Paul Richter
In the late seventies, due to economic changes and events in my family, we found ourselves in a small town in Eastern Washington, where my husband had obtained a job. It was a fragile time. I had left college again as a consequence of this necessary move, just as I had nine months prior, left work in order to go to back to school. Our daughters had left their friends and community roots. My husband, after working as an urban planner, took a job as laborer’s foreman at a nuclear power plant. Continue Reading »

This honorary role.
This keynote address.
She will do it, and we will watch. We will understand that as she speaks, she brings honor to herself, and she will attempt to heal the schism, because she must. To task her with this epic struggle can only be because, Obama and the DNC cannot touch this mess.
News often is by timing and degree. Only a bit ago, a wave rose up, they will see it directed. They want her now to corral her own delegates and those others who agreed. How many now have signed their name? Only three hundred are needed. Pen in hand and honorary swirl will place her in nomination.
They want to shame her yet again, as though it is her mess. The DNC knows it’s not. The mess must be scrubbed, and the schism healed, or the party completely broken. Closing off each avenue will only increase wave pressure.
Clinton for vice president boosters–“Vote Both”–fold shop, realizing Obama tapping Clinton.

The “Vote Both” drive–staffed by loyal former Clinton staffers–folds, realizing that booking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to be a keynote speaker at the Democratic convention means she is not on the list to be Obama’s running mate.

The latest counter offer from Denver, relative to the placement of anticipated protesters at(?) the DNC Convention, is presented. The ACLU says they don’t have enough information to comment.
I’m telling you, 200 feet away from the delegates, or is it to be 400 feet away?
Protesters, with bullhorns.
Caged behind cyclone fencing.
This is bound to be a heck of a scary sight for those poor nervous delegates- better push it back another 100 feet just to be sure we don’t stampede them!
I wonder what the occupancy limit, for 53,000 square feet of “protest” set aside area, is? Can we equal Invesco?

CAMPAIGN FINANCE
I just got another donor request pleading for donations to the DNC. This prompted me to think about the status of Obama/McCain donations. As you are probably aware, we don’t usually get to see the data until around the 20th of the following month. However, the Candidates campaigns must account for their funds accumulated on an end of month basis. The DNC is attempting to coordinate their push with the needs of all their candidates. Thus, the plea for contributions before midnight has arrived. I checked in with the League of Women Voters. See their thoughts on presidential campaign finance disclosure thus far:
League, Reform Groups Compare Senators McCain and Obama on Donor Disclosures
The League and reform organizations sent follow-up letters to Senators McCain and Obama seeking full disclosure of donor information on bundlers to their presidential campaigns. The groups also released a chart that compares how far each candidate has come in meeting the groups’ requests for transparency and disclosure.

In case you have been hibernating under a rock, or vacationing on the Galapagos lately, there has been an ongoing debate over the state of Senator Obama’s “Birth Certificate” and citizenship. No Quarter has been keeping tabs. What is wanted, of course, is transparency, just like for all those IL State Senate papers we have never seen. Check this out and read the supporting links in the blog:

To Him..
There is no loss in what you have done, only honor.
The wave is coming, Let it lift you!
To Her..
There is no failure in this position;
transformation is a hydra headed thing,
born out of unexpected places.
Bill Clinton is off to do what he would have done, had Hillary been president. Hillary is working hard for her constituents, and by her actions, for all of us. Check out Alegre’s Blog!
