Bill Clinton “likes that little Down’s Syndrome kid”…
Clinton said voters would think, "I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They're wonderful children. They're wonderful people. And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy." Seattle Times President Clinton made this comment while being a guest on “The View” yesterday. In our house, my wife’s teaching credentials have always instructed us to say, “Billy, the youngster with Down’s Syndrome”, not “that Down’s Syndrome kid”. Rather insensitive and elitist wouldn’t you say?
Can there be any individual ideology in Marin, County…?
Motorists entering the quaint, woodsy town of Olema near the sea in Marin County may notice a subtle change as they enter: it appears the burg's name has been changed to ''Obama.'' Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama supporter and bed and breakfast owner Kelly Emery created a perfect mirror of the green sign people read as they enter the town's limits. And if you refuse to enjoy the name change - try selling your home in Marin County in this housing market. CBS Channel 5 News
With the election and a terrible economic status in America, here comes terrorism…
In the aftermath of two major terrorist attacks on Western targets, America's counterterrorism community is warning that Al Qaeda may launch more overseas operations to influence the presidential elections in November. Call it Osama bin Laden's "October surprise." In late August, during the weekend between the Democratic and Republican conventions, America's military and intelligence agencies intercepted a series of messages from Al Qaeda's leadership to intermediate members of the organization asking local cells to be prepared for imminent instructions. New York Sun News Even if this threat is hollow in reality, it is still enough to place some fear in the hearts and minds of the citizens of the country. Good for the election, bad for the economy.
What happens if we have another “tie” (so-called) in the Presidential Election…?
On Nov. 5, the presidential election winds up in a electoral-college tie, 269-269, the Democrat-controlled House picks Sen. Barack Obama as president, but the Senate, with former Democrat Joe Lieberman voting with Republicans, deadlocks at 50-50, so Vice President Dick Cheney steps in to break the tie to make Republican Sarah Palin his successor. "Wow," said longtime presidential historian Stephen Hess. "Wow, that would be amazing, wouldn't it?" And, "If this scenario ever happened, it would be like a scene from the movie 'Scream' for Democrats," said Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh. "The only thing worse for the Democrats than losing the White House, again, when it had the best chance to win in a generation, but to do so at the hands of Cheney and Lieberman. That would be cruel." Washington Times Can you imagine the day after an event like this in America?
