Obama the Great (And The End of a Man-Crush)

By Lodro Special Correspondent to PolitiPorn.

Bush is gone and now I can finally say that I am once again an Independent. Obama has made history in becoming the first US president to follow the dumbest man in the world, and I hear he’s black. I hope he does a great job for our country. I hope he gives back many of my rights as an American, restores our international credibility and leads us through a terrible economic time while laying the foundations for a more prosperous America. His campaign brought people together around the world and made them optimistic about America, he brought the next generation into the political arena and got 9.5 million more votes than McCain, the highest raw popular vote margin ever.

As strange as it may seem, Joe “Crazy Tits” Biden couldn’t be a better man for the job as Vice President. I didn’t want to bring this up at the time, but the red-staters could have done a little more with his middle name, Robinette, instead of going after the obvious.

Obama can represent the government to the American people and the World with a sincere eloquence that few in history have been able to replicate, recognized some decent talent for important advisory positions, and make decisions based on reality, cooperation and good council. At the same time, Joe Biden is as smart as we’ve got in geopolitics, he sat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a long time and left as the Chairman, he has played the game in the Senate longer than anyone and is known to be ‘bi-partisany.’ He’s also a scrapper, last month he walked out on Karzai during a meeting when the latter tried to feed him the same bullshit that has worked for the past couple of years.

Christ only knows what McCain and Palin would have done with the office, besides suspending the role of the executive branch due to the economic crisis.

The Economic Scandal of Days Gone By and Crazy Witch-Hunting Preachers

Please be warned that the following video is something like 14 minutes long.  It would be best watched during your lunch hour.

 

I know you’ll probably say we’ve all got a CRAZY ass preacher in our past, but how many of those crazy men of the cloth believed in witches?

Should McCain/Palin win, as predicted here on PolitiPorn, can we expect this guy to deliver the prayer before the oathes are administered?

Can we expect him to head the U.S. Commission on Witchcraft and Other Crazy Shit (USCWOCS)?  It’s going to be a very interesting time for us under these guys.  If you’re a woman, like to wear black, have a cat and live in any of the various town called “Salem”, I’d be very nervous right about now.

Can I call you “Joe”

In two debates, last night’s and last Friday’s, I think I’ve heard the word “maverick” at least a million times.  You know the old line, repeat a lie long enough and it will become the truth.  Well, this PolitiPornster is not buying it.  Everytime that word crosses the lips of McCain or Palin, it sounds forced and empty.  Oddly enough, that would also properly describe Palin’s performance last night, forced and empty.

If George W. Bush was “all hat and no cattle”, well Ms. Palin is “all snow and no igloo!”

As for the debate, I did the same thing as last week.  I watched the debate and afterwards discussed it with Mrs. PolitiPornster.  During this post debate recap we didn’t listen to any of the media led or spin room led discussions regarding who won.  Our conclusion, it was a wash, a tie, basically the sister got kissed.  If there was a slight edge, I’d have to hand that to Biden.

Why?  Well, whether you liked his answers or not, or even if you hated his style, he still answered the questions!  I counted three separate occasions where Palin ignored the question completely and instead rattled off Rovian Republican talking points that had nothing to do with the subject matter of the question introduced.

If you’re wondering which three instances I’m talking about here goes, 1) when asked about what would be her Achilles heel: NO ANSWER; 2) when asked about what would trigger US use of nuclear weapons: NO COMPREHENDABLE ANSWER; and 3) when asked about bankruptcy and taxes: NO ANSWER – instead said she wanted to talk about Energy. 

You’d probably be curious as to why she didn’t answer those questions; my best guess is that those questions were not in her script.  The one time she got off script as she was trying to answer the question about nuclear weapons, I started having flashbacks of her now infamous Katie Couric interview. 

Now the positives for Palin, she was charming and she came across as folksy.  She tried her best to get under Biden’s skin and her jabs will likely get replayed ad nausiem on conservative radio.  She certainly connected with the rightwing base last night.  Most importantly, she went a long way to help repair the damage done by the Gibson and Couric interviews that led people to wonder just how many retards are in the Palin family.

The McCain camp knows it dodged a bullet the size of Rush Limbaugh’s fat ass last night.  Here’s some advice, keep that woman on FOX News and/or conservative talk radio.  If she speaks to anyone who is either in the tank for Obama or surprisingly unbiased, she will be eaten alive.  You would think that after Katie Couric paddled that ass, McCain would learn. 

For the party’s sake, the McCain camp should seriously consider keeping this lady in Dick Cheney’s bunker until after the election.  Just a thought.
