guyy

Obama is not left wing. That's goofy. Left of the author, certainly, but that means little. What exactly is left-wing about Obama?

This Noemie person should have been in Illinois when Obama got elected senator. It was surprising how many hairy & manly lawns sported Obama signs. I'm talking about Downstate, too, not just Chicago. They could have gone for the guy who was mean to his wife or the genuine right-wing kook. But no, they went for the Academician. How was that possible?

Anyway, it would seem that these are not the best days for the manly party. Manly men like George Bush & Dick Cheney lied so they could have a bit of Jacksonian fun in Iraq. Oops. Their little joyride has turned into the mother of all fuck-ups. Way to go, Jacksonians! People who helped spread the lies, fine folk like Judy Miller and her incompetent editor at the NYT, have been discredited. Wolfowitz is hounded by scandal. Someone named Scooter took the fall. Bush is trying to pre-pardon himself and his crew. No, now is not a happy time for Jacksonians.

To make matters worse, the economy looks really bad. The dollar is crumbling thanks in part to Jacksonian blunders. What difference does it make if your team can depose a Real Bad Guy in Grenada or some other superpower when you don't have a job or can't afford what you want or need? The last time an unnecessary and over-hyped war coincided with a great depression, isolationism did quite well

I just don't see how dick waving is going to be the big seller it once was.
