By “Obama’s Friends” we mean the likes of Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko and other assorted miscreants. I could spend a lot of time here detailing the crimes of Obama’s friends – and make no mistake, they were his friends. At this point I don’t think that any votes are going to be changed one way or another by detailing the corruption of Rezko, the America-hating of Wright or the unrepentant terrorism of Ayers. Suffice it to say that Obama was close to all of these people and these were associations born of mutual interests and philosophie...

This really isn’t a reason to vote for or against Barack Obama, but you do need to know what the next four years are going to be like with an Obama presidency. During the campaign there have been some rather amazing charges of racism. Let’s see if we can remember a few: Using the word “skinny” to refer to Obama is racist. “Community organizer” is a racist term. Any reference to a connection between Obama and Franklin Raines, the former head of Fannie Mae is racist…that would be because Raines is black. All references to Jeremiah Wright are raci...

Are many black voters going to vote for Barack Obama primarily because of race? Of course, many will. Surveys and polling have shown that the figure may reach 20%. I think it’s well more than that. Is race a sound reason to cast a vote? Probably not. Is it understandable? Absolutely. I cannot fault a black American for voting for Obama. It may turn out to be a negative vote insofar as their dreams and goals are concerned. It may not work out all that well for their children, especially if they’re ambitions and talented. But I don’t think many of us can absolutely say that we ...

This will be the first in a series of posts bringing up the important issues and why you should really pay attention and educate yourself on them. If you’re an undecided voter in this presidential election the least you owe your country is to try to base your final choice on some substantive facts. No, I don’t have all the facts here but I have enough of them to perhaps convince you that voting one particular way on November 4th might not be the most brilliant move you’ve ever made. I’ve noted that some other “pundits” out there are starting to post, in colu...

This bit is getting really tiring. Here are two stories to make you groan: Last week, John McCain and Barack Obama held a rally in Youngstown, Ohio. This apparently started a brouhaha with Democrat state legislators. Two Ohio legislators were upset that the polling numbers are still tight between Obama and McCain and the reason they cited? Race, of course. State Rep. Thomas Letson said, “Race – that’s the only reason people in the Valley won’t vote for him…There are 1,000 reasons to vote for Obama and one reason why you won’t – race.” He say...
