Did anyone see if Dame Pelosi left town in government aircraft on her way home to California to re-elect herself? Ah, well, I guess the third in line to the throne must be protected. But there are degrees in everything and the size of the aircraft should have been corporate jet small. We can all hope this will be the final round of tracking her spendthrift ways.
Harry Reid no doubt stopped off in the southern border states to visit his illegal immigrant constituency on the way back to Nevada – a place he hardly remembers except at election time.
It is amazing how the colors in the Democrat crayon set color in all Republicans and Conservatives as anti-immigrant not anti-illegal immigration. There is a difference between illegal residents and the process by which they get here that currently enables them to remain in the country going to school and getting college tuition breaks in some states. But Democrats muddy the differences and color the opposition the impenetrable color of black.
Of course Organizing for America has been on the ground in all of the states well ahead of the local Democratic candidates. E-mails from the principals in the National Democratic Headquarters have been streaming in here at a steady pace of at least one per day. E-mails from the head of this state’s OFA director have also picked up. Fund-raising has been the primary objective of OFA’s agenda locally and nationally. Of course there is setting up phone banks – their specialty. The trouble is all of their dirty slick tricks have been uncovered since the 2008 election – or have they? How about this new one. A letter saying how many donations have been received from your area. Talk about tracking.
Tackling the issues, President Obama more often than not has targeted the sympathy vote this election season. He has painted himself (into a corner in my opinion) as a poor beleaguered man who has been under-appreciated, misunderstood and is battling hostile incoming each day in office. Is this the reason for flubbing the peace process? Has he encouraged al Qaeda attacks here and abroad because of his weaknesses? Perhaps a post-election vacation is being planned by his Presidential Vacation Czar.
Like Bush, Obama declared things manageable in Iraq too soon and the insurgents have had a field day ever since a large number of US troops have been withdrawn. No room to say it is Bush’s fault, eh?
Then there are the insurgents at home dealing with ever increasing high unemployment levels and shrinking job opportunities.
And then the President has had to tolerate all of those treacherous, terrorist Tea Party people – they have been stirring up the people and making it tough for Obama and Company. He has almost convinced the citizenry that they get their orders from Bin Laden himself. He thinks this way because, like many Muslim leaders, he has morphed the Office of the President into a theocracy that oversees the Obama worshipers.
But Obama has turned the scepter of power over to others. When the President comes to town (more than likely the effective one, Clinton) to support local candidates try to remember who the real president of the US is. Remember, too, how many times he has called upon the Clintons for help and support. All he has done has been to broadcast his weakness and incompetence as a national leader.
So how do you fight OFA and the Chief Executive OAF in Office? Opposition fund-raising in the states should all be done under the guise of a turkey raffle. Get people together on behalf of Republican and Tea Party candidates with an eye to hearing the true message and to color the Democrats trussed turkey.

I’ve just dipped a toe into American politics.
I think that’s as far as I’ll go for now, in case I start deceiving myself that I know things. http://wp.me/pDjed-z9

If God is willing, may we not have to deal with anything like the group of criminals we’ve had this term ever again. Please, Lord, rain down brains on Americans so they set aside political correctness, stupidity, liberalism and progressivism, and of course, the Democrat party.
Please.

DK yours is a voice crying in the cultural wilderness. What do Americans know of brains these days. The unemployed waste money of lottery tickets, the Sarah Palin has taken time away from serious politics to watch here daughter compete on Dancing with the Stars and we the American people are paying for Congressmen and women to go home to run for office. It all makes perfect nonsense. I need to retreat to my nest and think abut these things. We are a nation in search of leadership.

Who will rise above all this and lead ? … That’s the conundrum …

Greetings my Morby. Always good to see you appear out of the clouds.
I think a leader will present himself/herself after the first of the year – and someone we may not have thought of as such. I think we are at that place where it is a necessity for responsible people to determine that they must lead whether they wish to or not. Several new contenders may arise. We will find someone who can bring us together and lead us out of this. We have to and I believe that the people believe this has to happen. The alternative is civil war and that is what Obama has unleashed on us – the spectre of civil war. Haves and have nots, blacks, browns and whites going at it. – he has underscored all of these issues. Visiting slave depots and concentration camps; thumbing his nose at the Queen of England; speaking to the Muslim World as if American History had ignored them – all geared to divide.
On the other hand with what may be ahead of us, great leaders here may escape to Canada much the same as draft dodgers in the 1960s LOL!

I think I’d like some stuffing with that turkey. And cranberry sauce.
Time to go a-huntin’!
I can see November from my house!

I will accompany you, DF, and retrieve whatever you kill in the name of a good turkey dinner. Actually I make good cranberry sauce from el scratcho and it is so easy. I follow package directions for fresh berries but add 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda. I then add orange rind to finish it as it cooks. UMMMM.
