Barack Obama--The Manchurian Candidate

In the 1962 Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury and a number of other famous actors were featured in "The Manchurian Candidate." This classic movie tells the story of a captured U.S. soldier who is brainwashed by the Soviets and Chinese during the Korean War and is sent back to the United States to assist his Communist Mother and Step-Father, who pretend to be very conservative, gain power in the United States. The plan almost works until the POW is freed from his brainwashing and actually kills the couple. I do not believe that Barack Obama is brainwashed but do believe he is the product of some of the most radical thinkers of our time. He learned how to be a community organizer from the late radical leftist Saul Alinsky who encouraged him to move to Chicago. His political career was launched with the help of William Ayers, the terrorist who bombed the Pentagon, The Capitol and the New York police headquarters and who is unrepentent for these actions to this day. Obama's only managerial experience occurred when he and Ayers took a $50 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation that was supposed to used to improve the education of Chicago children and funneled it into radical organizations like ACORN and developed programs designed to cause students think the worst of their country. Beyond this we have Obama's 20 years of sitting under the teaching of Reverend Wright racist diatribes. While some or all of this information has been noted by conservative talk radio hosts it has received virtually no coverage in the fawning pro-Obama mainstream media. Why? Had this information be noted by the MSM a year ago Obama would not be have been the Democratic nominee. The MSM found a like-minded standardbearer and backed him entirely and even dumped on the expected nominee Hillary Clinton to insure Obama's victory. There is one way to bring this all to light. During the forthcoming VP debate Sarah Palin says "Since I was selected to be John McCain's runningmate all of Senator Obama's media friends have poured into Alaska looking for any hint of scandal about me including whether I was guilty of jay walking in the third grade, but they have avoided mentioning the issues noted above." Then Sarah says, Here is a news flash. There are a lot of flights going in and out of Chicago everyday. If you are really interested in being professional you will be on the next plane and start doing some serious reporting. I am not holding my breath." This bring s down the house.

Barack Obama--

Will Sarah Lead the Children of Abraham to the Promised Land?

One of the more interesting sub plots of the 2008 election is what will happen to the Jewish vote. Historically Democratic candidates get between 75-80% of this Bloc which is heavily concentrated in a number of large states, some of them critical swing states. This year could be different. The GOP offers in McCain-Palin perhaps the most pro-Israel ticket in history. No one can doubt McCain's seriousness in wanting to defeat the Jihadists and Governor Palin strongly supports Israel to the extent that she proudly displays the flag of Israel in her office. On the other hand, the Obama-Biden ticket should cause concern for anyone who supports the security of Israel. Obama changes his position on Israel depending on which audience he is speaking to and he has been influenced by a number of anti-Semites including Reverent Wright. Joe Biden has often been referred to as Tehran's favorite senator and has reportedly told Israeli officials that they should be ready to accept a nuclear Iran. Watch what happens next Tuesday (September 23) when Sarah Palin speaks to a gathering in New York which opposes the anti-Israeli policies Iran's crazed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Hillary Clinton was also invited to speak, but when she heard that Sarah Palin was going to be present she angrily withdrew. (Hillary is angry about a lot of things these days). Obviously, while Hillary is OK with her stand in appearing with Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live she does not want her speech or appearance to be compared with Sarah Palin's, especially on her home turf. Don't surprised when Sarah Palin gets resounding cheers next week from the Jewish community and don't be surprised when the McCain-Palin ticket gets between 35-40% of the Jewish vote on November 4. That will mean that the GOP ticket will carry Ohio and Florida by good margins and will probably carry either Pennsylvania or Michigan or both. Having someone named Sarah, the wife of Abraham, the mother of Issac and the grandmother of Jacob on your ticket is a nice touch.

The Ultimate Irony: Sarah Saves Ted Stevens From Defeat

It is becoming increasingly evident that not only is Sarah Palin a huge boost for the GOP presidential ticket, but she is helping Republicans at the congressional level. Just a month ago there were dire predictions that the Democrats would make significant gains in both the Senate and House. Since the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate there has been a dramatic shift to Republicans in the so-called generic ballot. In other words a lot of Republicans who were in danger of losing their races may win thanks to the Sarah Tsunami. Ironically, one Republican who may survive is Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska. The 84-year-old Stevens is currently under indictment for corruption and is famous for promoting the Bridge To Nowhere which Governor Palin eventually killed. A month ago Stevens was losing by 17 points to his Democratic opponent, but in the most recent survey he is winning by two. If Stevens had any decency he would drop out of the race in favor of a "clean" Republican. Unfortunately that won't happen. Advice to Governor Palin: Don't endorse Senator Stevens by name if asked as it will put a smudge on your image as a reformer.

And a Hockey Mom Shall Lead Them

It is tempting to write about something other than Sarah Palin, but what else is there? Hurricanes, wars, the economy and the beginning of the NFL season would normally be worth a mention, but those topics all pale compared to Sarahmania. Something is happening out there. The fact that more people watched her spectacular address to the RNC than Barack Obama's Greek Temple speech, that according to Rasmussen her approval rating is higher than either Obama or McCain and that Obama has to send out Hillary Clinton and other women Democrats to counter this Tsunami. There is even talk about the Democrats finding a way to get Joe Biden off the ticket and replacing him with Hillary. If I were Joe Biden I might consider hiring a food taster soon. It was just a week ago that John McCain flew Sarah Palin from Alaska under the cover of darkness to announce her as his running mate in Dayton, Ohio. Since that time a frenzied and unhinged MSM has provided the public with anti-Sarah diatribes 24/7. This will not stop for the next 60 days. I also expect her to be accused of starting the next tropical storm. Despite all this opposition, however, I am becoming more convinced every day that Hurricane Sarah will be coming to Washington next January with John McCain.

Sarah Palin=Wonder Woman + Margaret Thatcher

Five Days ago few outside of Alaska had heard of Sarah Palin. In that short time she has inspired the base of one political party, engendered the wrath of the far left activists of the other party and its media allies and made her acceptance speech on Wednesday at the GOP Convention possibly the most significant political event of the year. How did this happen? It happened because John McCain in a stroke of daring genius picked a person of extraordinary personal accomplishments and principled political positions to be his running mate. Sarah Palin the Miss Congeniality of a beauty pagent, the Barracuda point guard on a state championship basketball team, the marathoner, NRA-member mother of five who worked as a sportcaster, helped manage a family business and served as a city councilwoman , mayor, Energy Commission Chairman and Governor of country's largest state with 20 percent of its energy resources represents multi-tasking on steroids. All that is lacking is any indication of her ability to leap tall buildings in a single bounce. All this has been accomplished without access to family wealth or connections to open doors for her. Her resume is matched by her principles: Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Military, Pro-Economic Growth, Pro-Reform and Pro-Energy Independence--and she has put the principles into practice in her public life. Her speech to the GOP Convention and her debate with Joe Biden will be High Noon moments in the current campaign. The prediction here is that she will be the Gary Cooper of 2008. Final Thought: Hillary Clinton spent about $250 million on her run for the Presidency, her campaign is heavily in debt and she is not on the Democrat ticket. Sarah Palin did not spend a nickle and has about a 50 percent chance of becoming the first woman VP in U.S. history. Only in America!!!
