Al Gore: In Global Warming for Money and Glamour

"For him (Al Gore) the decision is: 'Let's see, could I make a lot of money and be on stage (as all narcissists desire -ed) in front of a billion people, or would I want to be spending the next two years in a Holiday Inn in Dubuque, Iowa?' "

---Chris Lehane, Democratic strategist and Al Gore's 2000 campaign press secretary, quoted in USA Today about whether Gore will run for president in 2008.

The Liberal Worms Turn on Barack Hussein Osama Obama

According to the Drudgereport, Maureen Dowd of the New York Times filed the following non-flattering report against the failing Democrat candidate, Barack Hussein Osama Obama. Seems the worms are turning against their star in advance of Queen Hillary.

MAUREEN DOWD RIPS OBAMA: 'HE LOOKED AS IF HE NEEDED A SMOKE AND HE NEEDED IT BAD'

TIMES edit queen Maureen Dowd unloads on Barack Obama in her Wednesday filing.

On the trail in Iowa, Dowd writes: "Obama's so slender his wedding band looked as if it was slipping off... there was a wariness in his dark eyes."

When a reporter asked him Obama whether he'd had a heater in his podium during his announcement speech in subzero Springfield, Obama hesitated.

Dowd slings: "He shot a look that said, 'Are you from PEOPLE magazine?' before conceding that, unlike Abe Lincoln, he'd had a heater."

Dowd describes Obama as a "tad testy" as he was "traipsing around desolate stretches of snowy -- and extremely white -- Iowa."

Obama had "moments of looking conflicted."

Dowd claims that no fewer than three times last week, Obama got indignant about the beach-babe attention given to a shot of him in the Hawaiian surf."

You've been reporting on how I look in a swimsuit," Obama lectured a reporter.

Dowd snaps: "He poses for the cover of MEN'S VOGUE and then gets huffy when people don't treat him as Hannah Arendt."

Why Barack Hussein Osama Obama will never be president of the United States

The main duties of the president of the United States are to be the Commander in Chief of the military and to conduct diplomatic relations and negotiate treaties on behalf of the United States. Certainly, Mr. Obama is not a natural leader capable of the minimum skills necessary as a Commander in Chief, but Mr. Obama's recent comments also illustrate that he does not have the diplomatic skills, what some would say, tactful skills, required of the president.

One of America's strongest allies, not just in the war on terror, but an ally in general, is the country of Australia. The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, recently said, and rightly so, that terrorists are awaiting election of a democrat to the presidency. Specifically, of Mr. Obama's election.

Prime Minister Howard's quotes, "I think that (withdrawal) will just encourage those who want to completely destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Howard said on Nine Network television.

"If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."

Mr. Obama's response? "I think that it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me a day after I announced" my candidacy for president, Obama said during a news conference in Iowa, the first state to hold party caucuses.

Prime Minister Howard is not one of "George Bush's allies." Rather, Prime Minister Howard, and the country of Australia, are allies of the United States and they have been allies in war and in peace.

Mr. Obama and his few supporters may think his rhetoric is clever, but working with our allies as president requires a certain temperament that Mr. Obama illustrated he does not have.

Please, Mr. Obama, go back either to the madrassa in Indonesia or the New Black Panther Party church of which you are a member in Illinois.

Hillary in Iowa (lies, distortions, and cold weather)

Where to begin? We've all heard about Hillary's gaffe in Iowa where a reporter asked her (in the context of dealing with evil regimes) her experience in dealing with evil men. Her reply was, "What in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?" She tried later to explain that she was alluding to Ken Starr even though we all know she meant her husband, Bill der Slickmeister. See the NY Post link.

What the media failed to hone in on with a few exceptions was that she said she supported the ethanol industry (ethanol comes from corn and corn is big in Iowa) and that she was in favor of government ethanol subsidies. The problem is, she voted 17 times in the Senate against ethanol subsidies and she never voted for ethanol subsidies.

The other item the media missed completely is her affect on the weather. The exception was the local Des Moines Register by their headline in an inside page of, "Hillary reveals personality in Iowa." No wonder the weather that day was cold, frosty, and icy.
