It’s Morning Again in America

September 16, 2008 · Filed Under Economy, John McCain, News ·  

In the midst of a banking crisis and Wall Street meltdown, it is crucial to bring the United States back to our land of pride and promise.

This reminds me of the famous Ronald Reagan commercials from 1984 with the opening line “It’s morning again in America.”

We are now in a moment where we need optimism and reform, rather than the blame games and attack ads that are flowing from the Barack Obama campaign.

It’s an interesting juxtaposition if you look at John McCain’s comments compared with those of Barack Obama yesterday.

“There has been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street. People are frightened by these events. Our economy I think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times. I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street.” - John McCain, 9/15/08

Obama was quick to issue an attack ad (what’s new?) about how he thinks John McCain is out of touch. But what are the fundamentals of our economy?

According to Stuart Varney of the Fox Business Network, the fundamentals of the economy are the basics: unemployment, job creation, and inflation.

Since we don’t exist in a bubble, it’s important to look at these items in the prism of the global economy.

Currently, unemployment is at 6.1%, which is a 5 year high, but much better than our European competitors.

We’ve lost about a half million or more new jobs this year, which is a negative, but again it is much better than our European and Japanese competitors.

And inflation is currently at 5.4%, which can be attributed largely to the cost of energy. As we diversify our energy plan and rely less on foreign energy, the rate will retreat.

Yes, the economy is struggling, and it’s not easy to be optimistic when we see gas prices as high as they are, and housing in a tailspin.

But we need to positive vision and plan to fix the mess. That’s what will fix the economy, not more attack ads that offer venom without solutions.

John McCain is talking about cleaning up Wall Street, and expanding our domestic energy programs.

Obama is reading from his TelePrompter that McCain is “out of touch.”

Obama’s Totalitarian Paradise

September 16, 2008 · Filed Under News, William Ayers ·  

Barack Obama generally likes the First Amendment, except when he is not happy with what people are saying about him.

Just a few weeks ago, Barack Obama was trying to intimidate TV stations from running a commercial about his relationship with terrorist William Ayers.

And now the Obama campaign is trying to dictate which guests are on the WGN Radio station, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.

Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author.

It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an “Obama Action Wire” alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat.

Monday night’s target was David Freddoso, who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Chicago time.

This pattern of attempting to censor should be profoundly disturbing to anybody who values free speech.

TelePrompter for President

September 16, 2008 · Filed Under News ·  

Barack Obama has been referred to as an empty suit, but it seems he is more than that… an empty suit with a TelePrompter, according to CNN.

In addition to relying on his trusty TelePrompter to relay all of his thoughts and plans while delivering his speeches, he is also now using the device at rallies and town hall meetings.

But I thought he was the best speaker ever and the genius of a generation… if so, why does he always need a crutch?
