My Thoughts: Part II
Barack Obama

February is drawing to a close and we are locked in a never ending presidential campaign the likes of which I don’t recall in my 58 years on this earth. I’ve spend the better part of this campaign cycle reading blogs rather than watching the endless debates and I’ve gathered some thought of my own. This is a little lengthy so I’m breaking it into three parts.

Part II ( Part I, Part III )


Barack Obama, to date, is a cipher wrapped in an enigma. He is the man from nowhere who has burst upon the scenes with—if you believe the main stream media—no past. From what I’ve read of his speeches and debate responses, he must have surged to the forefront on the basis of smoke, mirrors and his voice. The written content of his speeches reveals nothing but “hope” and “change” to be his platform. When he does put something more concrete on the table it is either remarkably similar to Hillary’s Universal Health Care or so damn frightening that it is never mentioned by the MSM. (Have you looked at his proposal to turn US sovereignty over to the UN? It’s a little something called the Global Poverty Act. The title seems innocuous enough, but when you get to the meat of the document it turns you over to Millennium Development Goals which are described in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000) and that Declaration is anything but harmless to US sovereignty.

As I read somewhere today, one’s a Marxist and the other a Trotskyite. (Or something like that.) Neither Clinton nor Obama bodes well for The USA. Yet the media has let them slide, they've not examined either's background or ideas with any depth at all. I haven’t heard of one really tough question being tossed to either of them.

In any event, it will be quite interesting to see what happens on the convention floor. The Democrats have established primary rules that are so fuzzy and non-binding that just about anything can and probably will happen. The first clue that the Clinton magic is at work will be if the Florida and Michigan delegates get seated. If a back room deal is struck to permit that after both states broke the Democrat's own rules on when they could/should hold their primaries and after all the candidates promised to remove their names from the ballots and/or not campaign in them (rules and agreements Hillary Clinton clearly broke), all hell will break loose.
