Hillary on O’Reilly part 2
Here’s part 2 of this interesting interview with HC.
Hillary’s not sounding so bad
I’m doing something I thought I would never do. I’m warming up to Hillary Clinton. I’m not saying she’s got my vote but of the 3 candidates she’s clearly the 2nd best and I no longer think the future is doomed if she becomes President.
Basically my disdain for her came from her flip flopping on issues in the past. Typical politician saying one thing and doing another. That stuff really irritates me. I’d rather have a truthful president that tells me what I don’t want to hear and that’s why I like McCain. But since the last debate with Obama it seems more and more Obama is a goof who has nothing to offer but a slick and charming personality. He obviously makes horrible judgment calls about his personal associations after this Wright and Ayers thing.
Hillary has really impressed me how she has a handle for issues. Even if I don’t agree with a good deal of her policies at least she is articulate and knowledgeable. I give her props for interview with O’Reilly. It’s been driving me crazy how all the candidates dodge the few conservative media outlets there are. So if you missed the interview last night here it is. Part 2 tonight on the Factor.
Thoughts On Last Nights Debate
Did anyone else get the impression that Obama got his brain beat in last night? I have to give Hillary credit. She had better thought through answers on every topic. She composed herself worthy of being a President, even though she would not be my choice.
Obama on the other hand was stumbling over his words all night. It’s like he was trying to pick words out of mid air on topics he should have been more then ready to give a response to. I kept waiting for that charismatic personalty Obama has to shine through. It never happened.
Find it unbelievable that the media (in this case the AP Press) is STILL backing the most liberal candidate regardless of how incompetent he came off tonight. Look at this headline “Clinton emphatically says Obama can win White House”
I can’t decide if this headline is comical or sad. Clinton said yes Obama can win the Presidency. That either her or Obama must be President and both sides need to be prepared to unite the democratic party after the primary is over. Beth at the AP Press makes this headline sound like Hillary has all but ready to concede. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
If this debate were a football game the final score would have been Clinton 38 Obama 3.
Thoughts on the race
Obama
I just don’t understand the momentum that Barack has achieved. Yes he’s smooth talking and young. What has he accomplished? To further complicate the issue he has this Wright scandal which I believe will end up keeping Obama from the Presidency. Wright has turned out to be a HUGE racist and for Obama to have a 20 year relationship with the guy is unacceptable.
I’ve heard rumblings that things said by Wright is normal in the black church. I hope that’s not true. If it is this country has larger racial issues then I thought.
Hillary
My honest first reaction to the Bosnia shooting rumor was that Hillary just miss spoke about what happened. But now It seems clear that she was intentionally embellishing the truth. I don’t want to come out and call her a liar. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.
However it’s not the first time something has slipped her mind. Senator Clinton says she has been “a critic of NAFTA from the very beginning.” In fact, newly released White House records indicate that she advocated the 1993 trade agreement.
So there’s a pattern of deceit and convenient absent mindedness that Hillary continues to wear. I guess living with Bill that’s bound to rub off on you.
McCain
McCain confused Sunni & Shiite two weeks ago and the media went nuts. Yes it’s a pretty big mistake. It’s like mixing up China and Japan. But he corrected himself. What McCain did here was not indicative of a long term pattern.
Meanwhile, McCain has been oversees viewing the situation in Iraq first hand. I think that’s big for a few reasons. One he’s showing his undying support for the troops. But more importantly it will be vital to helping him make better judgment calls down the road.
McCain just being republican was left for dead but in light of the recent current events. I have to believe McCain has a better then 50/50 chance at the Presidency. At the end of the day the President has to be able to make sound judgment calls. I honestly think the history of deceit and poor decisions Obama and Clinton bring to the table will be their own undoing.
Drugs in the water
I heard this report the other day coming out of LA. I didn’t pay much attention to it except to think that drug dealers were dumping their coke down the toilet and it was getting into California’s limited drinking supply.
J-Dub pointed out it wasn’t just “those” kind of drugs. It was mostly the pharmaceutical drugs that people are peeing out. Which is really gross to contemplate. Considering that certain percent of drugs like ibuprofen in making it through my body into the water supply and into your mouth. I kind of find it more startling that researchers are telling us how much urline we’re drinking… yuck.
I did find this kind of funny and while the desire is great I’ll resist crackin’ a joke…
A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco’s drinking water.
The whole story kind of reminds me “I am Legend” or better yet “28 days” or “28 weeks”.
Kudos to J-dub for passing this along.
