Bitter Gate Continues
What a weekend! Obama sticks his foot in his mouth and the whole World nearly grinds to a halt. The Neo-Conservative Apologists like William Kristol are calling him a Godless Commie. …and this is just April.
However, Obama’s poll numbers continue to hold steady, so, It might just be the fact that people are looking at all this and thinking like I do, that it is all rather silly.
I have to say that I very much agree with that sentiment, I believe all of this, is rather silly myself, I really wish, that if people are going to attack Obama, attack him on this Politics, not on the blatant silly nonsense, that they have been attacking him with.
Frankly, I am surprised that the Main Stream media did not pick up on the story of Rev. Jeremiah Wright throwing off on Fox News and saying that Thomas Jefferson was a Pedophile. That did shock me a bit. Although, I’m inclined to believe that the majority of the media out there agree with him about Fox News.

I can has……Politics?
Just when you think your secret is safe……
Quote:
Steve Benen, the liberal blogger who runs The Carpetbagger Report, has recently been discovered to be the sole author of almost every liberal blog dealing with U.S. politics on the internet, blog readers recently discovered.
You know, I thought I could keep a stinkin’ secret, but nooooooo…. 
Seriously, Steve’s never written here. I’ve never written there. This is satire.
Steve Benen is a very good Progressive writer, in fact, when I used to run my domain, He used to send me quite a bit of traffic. He was always very friendly. (Although, he never did offer to let me join his group on BlogAds. Might have been because I wasn’t a Democrat. 
)
Anyhow, Steve, if you read this, I still consider you to be my buddy. 
Ha! Good luck with that one!
Yeah, like that will ever happen………….
The American Civil Liberties Union is calling on Congress to demand an independent prosecutor to investigate possible violations by the Bush administration of laws including the War Crimes Act, the federal Anti-Torture Act, and federal assault laws.
“No one in the executive branch of government can be trusted to fairly investigate or prosecute any crimes since the head of every relevant department, along with the president and vice president, either knew or participated in the planning and approval of illegal acts,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “Congress cannot look the other way; it must demand an independent investigation and independent prosecutor.”
Fredrickson added, "Congress is duty-bound by the Constitution not only to hold the president, vice president, and all civil officers to account, but it must also send a message to future presidents that it will use its constitutional powers to prevent illegal, and immoral conduct
I think we got a better chance of a Meteor hitting the planet, than this ever happening, while Bush is in office.
I wish the ACLU all the best on it, but I just don’t think it will happen.

No Job for Gonzo?
No, not that Gonzo!
Update: I just freakin’ noticed that picture up there of Gonzo, has a gun it it’s hand… 
Believe me, I didn’t mean a thing, by posting that. I just wanted a funny Gonzo Picture… It was just something I grabbed off of Google Images. I think everyone is smart enough to know that… but you never know… so, I’m just letting everyone know!
This one: (H/T New York Times)
Quote:
Alberto R. Gonzales, like many others recently unemployed, has discovered how difficult it can be to find a new job. Mr. Gonzales, the former attorney general, who was forced to resign last year, has been unable to interest law firms in adding his name to their roster, Washington lawyers and his associates said in recent interviews.
Well, I would guess so, seeing how he basically assisted George W. Bush destroy America’s Constitution.
He has, through friends, put out inquiries, they said, and has not found any takers. What makes Mr. Gonzales’s case extraordinary is that former attorneys general, the government’s chief lawyer, are typically highly sought.
A longtime loyalist to George W. Bush dating to their years together in Texas, Mr. Gonzales was once widely viewed as a strong candidate to be the first Hispanic-American nominated one day to the Supreme Court. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he carried an impressive personal story as the child of poor Mexican immigrants.
Despite those credentials, he left office last August with a frayed reputation over his role in the dismissal of several federal prosecutors and the truthfulness of his testimony about a secret eavesdropping program. He has had no full-time job since his resignation, and his principal income has come from giving a handful of talks at colleges and before private business groups.
“Maybe the passage of time will provide some opportunity for him,” said one Washington lawyer who was aware of an inquiry to his firm from a Gonzales associate. “I wouldn’t say ‘rebuffed,’ ” said the lawyer, who asked his name not be used because the situation being described was uncomfortable for Mr. Gonzales. “I would say ‘not taken up.’ ”
Party Loyalty has it’s downside, eh Gonzo? Karma is such a terrible thing.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7 KJV)
Amen.

Obama says, "Ooops."
Update: In Fairness to the man, here is what was said…..:
Honestly the only people freaking out about this, are the Far Right Wing Conservatives and the Hillary supporters. Which I think is stupid, did he insult people? No. Did he possibly say something in a bad manner? Yes. But people are acting like he just insulted the damn pope or something! Which I think speaks volumes for the people insulted, if you ask me. and that last part, that some people are going ape over, was, in fact, a joke. I think some turban headed pundits, need to find something else to bitch about. Things must be slow over there at a well known, pseudo-Conservative Blog, and they’re now grasping at straws. No wonder Preston left. 
It appears that Senator Obama is now eating crow. Here’s the story via the AP, which comes in via Yahoo:
The Article: Obama concedes remarks were ill chosen (via AP/ Yahoo! News)
Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday conceded that comments he made about bitter working class voters who "cling to guns or religion" were ill chosen, as he tried to stem a burst of complaints that he is condescending.
"I didn’t say it as well as I should have," he said at Ball State University.
Here is the Video:
And…. of course, Senator Hillary Clinton felt the need, that she just HAD to pile on.
Quote:
As he tried to quell the furor, presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton hit Obama with one of her lengthiest and most pointed criticisms to date.
"Senator Obama’s remarks were elitist and out of touch," she said, campaigning about an hour away in Indianapolis. "They are not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans."
I got news for you lady, there is a quite a few things that I could say about YOU being out of touch with the rest of America. However, because I do not wish to sit here and get into a dissertation about your Husband’s Presidency, I shall refrain, but let me just say this here, that "out of touch" stuff goes both ways Hillary. You know it and your feckless Husband knows it.

Editorial: Answer to a very stupid Question
Tom Blumer at Pajamas Media asks this question.
Quote:
The current president has done more than any other to combat the spread of AIDS in Africa. Why haven’t the media noticed?
Two Reasons, for one there is an election taking place, just in case you forgot, and the main stream media is also too busy covering our President ripping our Constitution to shreds and violating the various Geneva conventions.
Let me give you some working examples…:
These Videos come from one of the best political shows on American television, his reporting transcends political parties and appeals to Americans who still believe in that Constitution and the values it stands for.
The Videos:
and finally, one of the most telling of videos ever to be broadcast on National American Television, This Commentary, by one of the highest rated Political Television Commentators out there:
Now as to your question about AIDS, While I know and personally believe AIDS is a horrible and dreadful disease, it is being over shadowed by a Presidency that is, in the most Conservative of terms, shameful. George W. Bush and his clan of Neo-Conservative, war-mongering, thugs have disgraced America, Disgraced the Republican Party, possibly to the point of never, ever, being able to gain access to the White House, for the next four to six years or possibly and quite frankly, hopefully, for longer than this. Why? All because a very simple minded man, who felt he needed to out accomplish his Father, and in the process has put the United States of America in one of it’s worse positions in foreign relations, in it’s many years of existence as a Nation.
Now it would be easy, to dismiss me as some disenfranchised, Anti-American, Liberal with an attitude, but allow me to make some very valid points here. When the John Birch Society, Writers at NewsWithViews.com, WorldNetDaily, like Dr. W.R. Marshall, Ph.D, Cliff Kincaid, Chuck Baldwin, Devvy Kidd, Joseph Farah, Ilana Mercer are saying that the President of the United States of America has abused his powers, disgraced the Nation and totally ignored the Constitution all for his perverted and rather narrow sighted political view, then something is very wrong.
And yet, the Republicans just continue to sit, like mindless trolls and continue to allow this man to completely and abjectly, lie to them and tell them that he is protecting America. All because of a now dead, half baked, Former Democrat, Former President told some reporters, "Thou Shall not speak against thy fellow Republicans". I am sorry, But I do not, for one second, believe that Ronald Reagan meant that you should sit idly by and watch as some criminal warmonger destroys America, the values it was based upon and the Constitution that serves, as the very underpinnings of founding principles of this Nation.
I will end this rather lengthy Blog entry, turned editorial with this thought, if the Republican Party and Conservatives in America do not wake up to the fact that they have been betrayed, lied to, and double crossed by the most evil of persons, within the Conservatives and within the Republican Party. The Republican Party will, in fact, go the way of the Whig Party of old.
I truly hope that they awake from their slumber before then.
Just Words, Part 2
As if we needed anymore proof that this man was a hater.
Comes this Revelation, from The Politico, who saw it on Huffington Post.
Quoting Barry:
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Not a smart way to endear yourself to the people, Barry!
I got a feeling that this is going to be all over the media come the weekend or next week. I think he won’t get PA, that’s for sure.
Why? Because it smells of Elitism, which does not go over well, with the Working class, in PA, Detroit, MI, and other major cities were working class folk live. Plus his comments about Guns and Religion tend to alienate people that support the Second Amendment and Christians, plus people who want our borders security.
