How appropriate, thought I.
Hitler's Youth rallies and anti-Communism were reincarnated in America and returned to their place of origin, Berlin.
Tawdry, to say the least.
I am aware many throughout Europe are quite conscious of this garbage.
I do not mean to insult all my comrades abroad.
How it plays back in the US.
Basically, irrelevant.
It will quickly fade and become a distant memory as events surpass it.
As a matter of fact, it will be used to place pot shots throughout Obama's campaign as further developments unfold. Some important points to consider.
In spite of ALL the resources, money, energy , publicity, spin, media attention, hoopla and hype poured in to Obama's campaign to glorify the Messiah's image abroad, and at home, he continues, basically, to be in a statistical dead heat with McCain, who, in comparison, has done virtually nothing.
As a matter of fact, while Obama was expounding platitudes in Berlin against the backdrop of a hurricane at home, he actually lost points in certain key, critical states.
By any reasonable standard, the Democratic candidate SHOULD be WAY ahead against Bush.
It should not even be a contest.
It should be a slam dunk.
He should not need to be doing any of the above.
Yet, in spite of Bush AND all of the above, in addition, the race remains a close tie, fluctuating up and down by only a small percentage point margin either way.
Why is that?
And, the campaign has barely begun.
It will really spin into action after the Democratic and Republican Conventions.
Problem is, the media, fake Left included, is trying to whitewash a skunk into a rose.
Their efforts are transparent and backfire, since the media is hated, as well.
In the meantime, an additional bonus.
Try to make America look good and loved, again, abroad.
After all this, where else is there for Obama's campaign to go but down. What more will they concoct for him?
Perhaps, he can perform a miracle, make an unscheduled eclipse of the sun happen.
Or, dance on the head of a pin.
No doubt, the Democratic Convention will be another opportunity for media extravaganza.
However, Clinton's committed delegates must still be seated at the Convention and they continue to be furious.
Obama's primary campaign has left a trail of hate and dissension, including labor, which will have to be managed at the Democratic convention lest it become a fiasco.
Some might say, but what about McCain.
It doesn't matter. McCain is a known quantity.
What you see is what you get.
If one is going to vote Fascism, might as well vote for the hometown boy, war hero and known quantity.
McCain is a very "folksy" guy.
He's CONSISTENT.
Obama is ALL hype, contradiction, opportunism being packaged as something other than he is.
So, its very easy to deconstruct him.
So, Mr and Mrs. Middle America, as they are called, do not trust Obama. They remain edgy about him.
Rightly so.
They do NOT identify with him.
They do not believe him.
But, they do McCain.
And, this is how and why McCain is going to win.
As I said, there are two Republican candidates in this race, Obama and McCain.
One is predestined to lose.
Otherwise, they would have picked Hillary.
She could have won.
Why was she eliminated?
In terms of policy, it makes no difference.
Only one policy exists and it is not determined by either of them.
The public issues around Obama and McCain are fake, intentionally created, false dichotomies.
The differences are superficial ones, style, not substance.
And, that's precisely what the Establishment wants.
The paradigm is set.
In my previous blog, I hinted at what I thought was the best and most likely possibility for McCain's VP slot, not a well known figure.
Well, his name has now resurfaced in public, so, I will mention it--Rob Portman.
I give him 70-30 odds for McCain's VP slot.
I can't give him 100%.
Between the two, however, I am betting on Portman.
The reason.
Since McCain is destined to be President, Portman seems the logical pick, the mind behind the throne, lending "gravitas" to McCain and reassuring the financial community.
McCain will represent military.
Portman, finance. Portman was Bush's Budget Director.
The real contest is between the independent, third parties, Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney of the Greens, and McCain.
The ones who have the most to gain are the independents.
They will have a presence outside, if not inside, the Democratic Convention.
It is not too late, at the Convention, for Hillary's delegates to walk out and bolt the Democratic Party.
They still have an opportunity to do so.
And, join with the others.
As for Hillary, I do not expect her to do this, obviously, altho, it would certainly be a welcome development.
But, so far, both Hillary and hubby Bill have been missing in action in Obama's campaign.
Outside of Hillary's earlier, one time concession speech, I've neither seen nor heard from any of the Clinton's in any high profile, visible public way regarding Obama.
It's as if they disappeared.
But, they must be at the Convention.
Meanwhile, I conduct my own, informal test, survey, barometer, to see which way the wind is blowing regarding my own hypothesis/prognostication on the outcome of the Presidential race.
I have tried to find neighbors, acquaintances, friends, individuals, anyone, who will bet against me.
I bet on McCain, they bet against me on Obama winning the Presidential contest.
So far, I have found only one person willing to take this bet with me.
A neighbor.
And, he is ONLY willing to bet $5.
I asked to raise it to $10.
But, he has not agreed.
I'm still working on it.
Asking others.
