ID and then Vote

New York Times: Reports that the United States Supreme Court has stated that voters should have legal ID before they vote, a good and wise move, we recall the 1960 Election. The Democrats opposed the move, they lose in their narrow view, hang the Democratic result as long as they win.

Bill Clinton and the Race Card

The New Yorker: Interesting article about how Bill Clinton is on the road these days, the answer on the whole not good, he seems from reading the article to be using the race card is non so subtle way. The article reports that in PA he stated that Hillary was in the race for " People like you. The phrase hung in the air and the room quieted. Clinton didn’t say what the people who voted for Obama were like, but the suggestion was that they were somehow different. " The way Bill Clinton is going he will be seen as a less subtle George Wallace, the man that was seen as the first black President will have to to eat a lot o humble pie if Obama wins, can you see Obama using Clinton on diplomatic missions, after the the Clinton Machine has used the race card on Obama. Obama has not helped with the lack of reaction to his Pastor but the Clinton Machine has shown that it will use the African - American vote when it is needed but when its a threat it will turn on them, in the end its about the Clintons, that is a fact of politics.

Bad time to be Bill Clinton

Bloomberg.com: How Bill Clinton has lost the plot!! SO SAY WE ALL!! He's no Gipper.

End of the Reagan Era ?

The New Republic: Interesting article that tries but no cigar to say that the Reagan Era is over, as long as Reagan and his movement is remembered its never over, that's the part the elite media never understood at the time and still have hard time with, but a worthy attempt in the article. Must Read of the Day.

Obama's Pastor Redux

The past two days, last night and today shows why the Revered Wright is a problem for Obama. Last night in a speech he seemed to this teacher to be suggesting that African - American students should be taught separately from White Students. The theory being based on research that shows that the two cultures learn in a different method, as I teacher I take great offence at this view of teaching. Students white, black or any colour behave well or not in the same fashion, the point of the USA is that it is a melting point of all cultures. Today he called the USA a terrorist nation, thus 9/11 was the fault of the United States. Obama needs to disavow this man or he wont get the nomination or he might win but in the General Election he will go down to a Walter Mondale style defeat.
