Obama talks the money talk!

With the state of Pennsylvania becoming one of the battleground states, Obama barack has just outlined some of his economic policies that he would be adopting if elected as the president. From what I had heard so far, I have to say that this candidate is a much better deal for us than McCain would ever be. The economic policies as outlined by Barack Obama are realistic,practical and ones that can be initiated easily.

The policies as outlined by McCain pale by comparison for they are weak, vague and more to do with election drama and bereft of any real content. McCain's policies seem to do more with short term gains than any long term benefits, reminding us all once again, that he is of the same cloth as the current president. When it comes to election rallies there are very few politicians who would come forward to outline policies with long term benefits as Obama has done.

Furthermore, McCain's policies are based primarily on slashing expenditure without any thought whatsoever to the consequences. Take for example McCain's idea of doing away with the gasoline tax, the impact of such a policy would only serve to make the oil companies richer than they already are and cause constriction in the availability of funds for community related infrastructure projects.
Everything considered, Obama is the way to go, no doubts about that.

The Obama change!

With the primaries on the last leg, Obama is sure to be the next democratic nominee, with the latest interview from Clinton hinting at a closure to this 'dirt road race'. To be honest, I have to say that the thought of another Clinton era sends shivers down my back. I am sure that there are quite a few people out there rooting for the Clinton's and likewise there are those rooting for the Obama camp.
But all politics aside, the time is ripe for change and who better than Barrack Obama to deliver the goods. I am sure that once the nominee has been declared, Hilary will lend her support to Obama all the way.

How low can you get?

The current election campaigns are tearing the democrats apart by all this sledging. To say that only one side is indulging in it would be a lie, since both the sides, that is the camps of both Hilary and Obama are pretty much having a go at it. But one should point out that at least Obama’s side seems to be doing their research so that whatever they ‘sledge’, it sticks.

Case in point is the NAFTA issue, which Hilary can deny until she is blue in the face but the facts speak for themselves. Whereas the Clinton camp seems to be circulating a photo of Obama wearing a turban, and implying that all those who wear one are Muslims.

Well his HRH prince Charles wore one but that did not make him one nor did the fact that Omaba was a chief guest who was asked to try out a costume stop the Clinton’s from sledging.

This election has bought out the best and the worst in Politicians, as usual but what really surprises me is the fact that a well seasoned politician like Hilary can make mistakes as the one she did with the photo. Rule of the thumb is that if you are going to sledge then you better do your homework to make sure that the dirt sticks!

Obama wows the Global democrats!

The change is fast sweeping the mindsets of the democrat primaries and with Obama winning the global primaries it seems to be a non starter for the likes of Hilary Rodham Clinton. Obama seems to be on the move and both Hilary and McCain are getting a bit antsy where he is concerned. They both seem to be eager to dig up all the dirt that they can get on Obama and it seems that the dirt trail is hitting them instead. I shall cover that later.

For now, Obama is trying to look ahead to the Texas state and hope that the momentum will carry him through in that state as well. The Texas has always been a stronghold for the Clintons but thanks to George Bush and his policies, people may just want a change. The people well remember that the last time a Clinton was in the White House, the United States stood for sex, lies and videotape. So they are not going to be in a hurry to vote another Clinton in and they may well want a change for the better.

The primaries are for the next month and it is a touch and go for Hilary. Most of the media organizations are predicting a dead heat between the two of them and after the next month it will be the war of the Super delegates. I am sure that to the rest of the world this election must seem confusing at the very least, but then again, this is the process and one that we all must have to go through whether we like it
or not!

Dynamite,Clinton, Crazy and a Hostage crisis?

The title of this post alone should make the situation clear to all of us, one may even think that the title is a dressing for some mundane story but the sad part or the funny part is that it is all too true and that all of it had really happened.
All of this went down in ROCHESTER, N.H. The hostage taker was a man called Leeland Eisenberg. This person had been in trouble before with the law and just three days ago his wife had filed for divorce and that seems to have been the very last straw for Leeland. Normally in order to deal with the emotional issues regarding divorce or any other family issues we would go to see a psychiatrist. Since the united states does provide some form of health care to all its citizens, Leeland could have taken that and avoided doing what he did.
But Leeland is a person who does things differently, he went ahead and strapped some road flares to himself,made it look like a dynamite,walked to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign offices, and decided to hold the people there hostage. He, I believe wanted to talk to Hilary about getting some form of medical help for himself. Talk about the crazy wanting to talk to another crazy about being crazy, That is not a pun because that is how it sounded to me. Anyway he later released all the hostages and surrendered himself. This is one campaign that Hilary is not going to forget anytime soon!
