Biden?

Interesting that the text message came at 3 am ...

I am not sure what wisdom led to the selection of Joe Biden. It seems we will have two candidates who have no experience other than working in government and are far removed from the concerns of every day Americans representing the so-called "party of the people".

A close friend of mine has been a Biden supporter for years. This morning he said he didn't think he could vote for the Democratic ticket, even with Biden on it. Interesting ...

Where's my hat?

If I were still wearing my feminist hat, I would be highly incensed that a well qualified woman was passed over in favor of a less qualified man. I would be more incensed at the media and the powers that be at the DNC for their unfavorable attitudes. I would be asking some tough questions, like “Why would you assign delegates to a candidate who didn’t even appear on the ballot?” I would have a lot of other questions and I would be feeling particularly disenfranchised about now.

Guess it’s a good thing I lost my feminist hat.

Shame on them all!

Yesterday Dad and I watched as CNN played Barack Obama's comments in response to President Bush's speech to the Knesset. In fact, we watched it at least three times and saw numerous pundits comment negatively on President Bush's "attack" on the Democrats before we finally saw a clip of what GWB said. Today I can't even find a video of what the President said except one that is heavily overladen with comments by the CNN talking head. Heck, I can't even find a complete quote. Just an article describing Bush's "attack" on Obama with the words "believe we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."

I finally found a transcript of the President's Speech to the Knesset. I encourage you to read it. Not one word about Obama. Not one word about the Democrats.

Shame on you, CNN, FOX News and the rest. Shame on all the pundits who jumped on the condemnation bandwagon. Most of all, shame on you, Barack Obama. It is a pity you are so self absorbed that you see everything as about you. Get over it! But you owe the President and the people an apology for your outburst.
