China and the Olympic torch

China has grown to a very strong and powerful country for even government both local and national to ignore. Take the story of the journey of the Olympic torch in California, it, California, had to shorten the run and even change the route, as governor Newsom put it “it was for the public safety” which if truth be told, would mean that California can’t control marcher and protestors. The simple fact is that California sided with China over it’s own citizens who were our to see the sprit of the games, granted some were out to protest which is I would assume is part of the game(s). All around the world, where the torch is going people are protesting to China’s involvement in places like Darfur and Tibet. The citizens of China can’t see what’s going on in their local news media because it is controlled by the government.

But all hope is not lost. China will wish it hadn’t taken the games in the 1st place and here’s why. Come August China will not be able to control all the protestor that will be flocking into the country as tourists, spectators and yep you guessed it protestors. China will not be able to withhold cameras from the visitors and then others within China (citizens) see what protestors can do for a cause. And here is rub, China will not, at least in theory, be able to hold foreign protestors as it does it’s citizens, or they will hold them and then apologize later after the Olympic games are over to the respective countries. Come to think of it I can’t wait till August when the games begin.

Hillary Clinton is trying to save the Mortgage crisis while at the same time hiring a part of crisis to manage her campaign by the name of Margaret “Maggie” Williams who was part of Mortgage crisis when she was on the board of one of the nation’s once-largest and now-bankrupt sub-prime mortgage lenders.. Now!,that is the equivalent of the fox asking the hens to elect him to be guard of the hen house.

The Death of the Democratic Party

-Bush can run for a second term (no Kidding)

-Mortgage crisis is due to people misspeaking

-What Super-delegates?

The old guard at the Democratic Party has no idea of what they have; the possibility of death to the Democratic Party. They are still stack in the old politics of smear campaign, they are still working in the pre-internet age while the youth of the party have moved forward. The old guard should in a very simple way try and understand of what is happening, this is no longer the politics of "it's my turn, since am older than you (as Hillary and her cohorts tend to think)" this is not an aristocratic!! it a meritocratic/democratic system. The days are long gone when one would lie on camera and after the elections say that they misspoke, if at all the subject came up. This is the internet generation dear old guard, the youtube and google generation not the Woodstock generation; where every word one says has to be check against the back drop of truth, and youtube runs unedited speeches and not the TV’s sound bits over and over again. Lets not mince words, Hillary is a liar when you say something and you can recall it very well and it turns out to be a lie then let not substitute words. Lying and misspeaking are not interchangeable. If little Johnny takes a cookie from the cookie jar and when asked about it he says that he didn’t but there are cookie crumbs on his mouth then he should not get time out….why? Because all that little Johnny did was misspeak, what are we teaching out kids.

Why are we in such a mess in the housing market?

It is because of people like Hillary and the old guard in the Democratic Party doesn’t seem to see it. With the attitude of “how much do you make? $1600 …okay let just say you make $5000. that way you can get a good mortgage” and now look where we are, in the toilet, why because someone lied ….NO!!! I take that back, someone misspoke. That is ultra rubbish.

Super delegates

Who are they? If they are so super then they should have seen the writing on the wall and voted by now for the candidate with the silent/loud majority (however you wonna put it). Dear Super Delegates the freight train is heading for disaster at full speed and all you can afford to do is be a hands off Engineer with the words that we have become accustomed to “it will resolve itself by August”?…sure it will resolve itself by August, but the real question is; what will that resolution be and will it make or break the Party. We the youth of the part are tired of your idealness, your hands off approach to this primary. Now Hillary is looking for loop holes from the FL and MI delegates been sited to the 26 year rule of delegate are not compelled to vote for the one they pledge to, Dear Super Delegate if this is what it has come to, looking for loop holes in order to get the nomination then I would rather vote for Bush for a second term since the 1st term he wasn’t elected by the people but appointed by the courts, therefore President Bush can technically run for another term since he has only been elected once (2004) by the people, 2000 doesn’t count since he was appointed by the courts,or shall we call them them Super Delegates?. Dear superdelegate (not sure what’s so super about it) I can see your face saying that that is absurd ..no, its not since that is the argument that Hillary is trying to sell to the people and you the so called Super Delegate with your hands off approach are waiting to see if we the voter will buy ….you want the answer? Yes we will buy it and after buying it we will Vote for the McCain.

Here is the crox of the matter. What is to make Hillary when losing to McCain, refrain from selling that idea that McCain can’t hold the president’s office since he was born in Panama? The only super delegate that there is is John Lewis and am not an Obama supporter but a Party supporter hence by what I have seen I would go with Obama.
