Barack Obama speaks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner
Obama likes Pie. Do you like pie too?
McCain announced he is suspending his campaign for President until the financial crisis is over and urges the Democrats to do the same. The proposed $700 Billion bailout may not solve the crisis. If it doesn’t, this could effectively mean, the 2008 president elections would be cancelled all together. Couple that possibility with the military preparation for martial law on American soil, and you have the possible end of democracy. What was mere conspiracy theory and paranoia a a month ago is beginning to look like a reality.
Apparently, Barack Obama called McCain first and made the suggestion of canceling the their upcoming debate. McCain quickly went to the press and upped the anty.
I’m not all that good at Photoshop but I thought I’d follow through on a meme.
Obama and Blazing Saddles.
I reckon if Obama wore a cowboy hat a little more often, them big buckled American types might be more inclined to support the feller as President. It worked that ivy league frat boy George Dubbya. All he had to do was marinade himself in some Texas BBQ sauce and invoke the spirit of Ronald Regan. Maybe Obama just needs to inject some Old West folklore into his campaign. Isn’t Blazing Saddles a true story of how a black sheriff teams up with a white gunslinger to defend small town America from a bunch of greedy, villainous, corporate thugs while overcoming the racial hostility of the townsfolk?
Of course, both sides accuse each other of ethnic cleansing and other war crimes. Who would you believe? Wouldn’t there have been quieter, more effective ways for Georgia to “cleanse” Ossetians within the country’s borders then a loud, messy armed conflict? Maybe not. The fog of war is, obviously, best for obscuring your true, evil intentions. Russia espionage may have destabilized the region forcing Saakashvili to take drastic action against Separatist violence. This creates the perfect excuse for Russian troops to move in to defend its passport carrying peoples. Ultimately, you can’t trust either sides’ propaganda.
As public unrest grows in America, Martial Law is becoming an acceptable solution.
Bush signs unconstitutional “power grab” presidential directives NSPD51 and HSPD20, giving him full-dictatorial powers in the event of a loosely defined “catastrophic emergency.”
The “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” NSPD-51, loosely defines “catastrophic emergency” as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”
Of course, this is all just conspiracy theory and paranoia.
