Have you seen this ad, I think it is call blind ambition. Anyway since I've made it a point to think too much about other ads, Here is me overthinking a political ad.
The first 15 seconds are about obama's blind amitition, the last 15 seconds are about liberal congressional leaders fighting for subprime loans. The second half doesn't mention Obama, and the first 1/2 mentions his blind ambition.
All I get from this is Obama has ambition. Which I think would be a good thing, and liberal congressional leaders in congress have some of the blame for the economic crisis, but it doesn't say Obama had bad judgement.
Really what I take from this ad, is that McCain can't make a coherent 30 second ad making a claim against Obama.
As with every race that seems to be slipping away, the GOP attacks are getting seemingly more desperate. I am not saying anything bad about this tactic. When your message is lost, which is seems to be for McCain, you just throw a bunch of mud against the wall, and hope something grabs hold.
Obama, would likely do the same thing if the roles were reversed. I would be shocked if he didn't.
I do not agree with the GOP platform, or their politicians, but yesterday when McCain stopped a woman that was calling Obama an Arab, I was proud of him. It would have been enough for him to just not reply and take the mike. It isn't his responsibility to shoot down the Whacko elements of his party. But he defended Obama against a racist attack. I guess racist, as Arab isnt' a race, or a religion, I am not sure what kind of attack it was, other than false and hate filled.
Dudes dad was from Kenya. Which may surprise this lady, isn't an Arab country.
Secondly, and more importantly, who gives a rats ass if he was an Arab or a Muslim. or a muslim arab, or as the case would be, a Arab christian. As the term Arab is used to apply to an entire ethnic, linquistic group of people. Arabs are, Christian, Muslim, Jews, Hindi, and what everelse you can be. Mostly Arabs are just people.
I am guessing that this lady thinks that Iran is an Arab country, and that global warming is a crock, evolution is a crock, the world is flat, and the earth is the center of the universe.
Anyway, I am getting off point, I was heartened to see McCain call Obama a decent person. In a room where it would have been easy to whip the crowd into a hate filled frenzy, he choose not to.
Kudos to him for that, but i am still not voting for him, based on policies and ideas, not on that obama is a black arab muslim christian or that mccain is a white guy.
Anyone voting for any reason other than the issues should get slapped up side the head.
First, over at the target they have sardines, which are nasty, and kipper snacks which are less than great, but better than good.
I like mustard, and they have sardines in mustard, but they don't have kipper snacks in mustard. Why not? If anyone knows anyone at a fish product making plant, i would appreciate if you would throw a bottle of french's mustard in with the herring.
Does anyone feel better about the bailout now that they're calling it a rescue? I know I do.
My retirement is down nearly 40% this year. I am far from retiring, so it doesn't concern me too much, but what about dude that was set to retire? what if his was down 40%. i mean I know that dude should have had alot higher portion of his retirement in bond accounts, but still.
Are bond funds and bonds down as well?
i just went to my 401k site, and clicked on the rate of return button, and it came back as an error, that can't be a good thing.
Back to politics becuase I live in a battleground state, i am flodded with calls, commericials and door knockers. IT seems that this race is getting ugly.
The GOP has brought up Ayers, and the Dems don't like it. The Dems have brought up the Keating 5 and the GOP doesn't like it. Cindy McCain said, Obama is running the dirtiest campaign ever. That may be true, or it may not be true, who is to say, but it seems to me that if it is true, he is running the dirtiest race ever by a hair. With McCain right behind him.
Palin is running around saying that Obama hangs out with terrorists, but thinks that her husband's belonging to a party that wants alaskan independence should be overlooked. urgh.
If Cindy McCain says anything else, I think that it should be fair game that despite her millions of dollars she stole medicine from needy people becuase she is a spoiled rich snotty junkie.
that is what i think today,
I am serious about the mustard, that would treat me right.
I was watching the news the other day and they said something like mccain/palin are fighting for their political lives.
Seriously, that is a little dramatic.
There are 50 govenors in the US. 300 million people but only 50 govs. If McCain Palin lose, she goes back to being a wildly popular govenor in Alaska.
Similairly there are 100 senators in the US. If when either McCain or Obama and Joe lose he or they go back to a pretty sweet gig in the senate.
They're not fighting for their political lives. They're fighting to win this election. If they were fighting for the political lives, the loser would be out of politics, not going back to a pretty cushy job.
I wish i was fighting for my Accounting life, and knew if i failled i would have a sweet gig to fall back on.
So last night we went to "Burn After Reading"
I am failry sure forcing the prisoners at Gitmo to watch this would be a serious violation of the geneva convention protocols, and could result in econmics sanctions against the US.
If you can't get through my misspelling and misunderstand my meaning, this movie sucked. not a little sucky, not ishtar sucky. No how when you hear your friend tell you on the phone the had their femur snapped by a grizzly bear, and all you can say is that sucks. that is how this movie sucks.
only making bears watch it is surely going to cause the people at peta, to get upset.
So I weight myself this mornign and it says 187.5. Which if your keeping track at home is 2.5 lbs less than I was I think last monday. So 2.5 lbs a week, If can keep that up in 19 months I'll be down to zero.
