Democrats Can't Get It Together

At some point, the Democrats will remember that this is an election year and the country is in an recession.

Presidential candidates who grossly lie about their "foreign policy" experience, radical preachers who curse the very country that provides the liberty and freedom that allows them to speak out against it, and stupid comments by staffers - all of this, has to end, otherwise, this political party will stumble into their convention, stumble into the General Election and ultimately lose.

It is a recipe for disaster.

Presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama said that he "vehemently disagrees and strongly condemns the statements" made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who is the retiring pastor at his church. Wright has given a racially charged sermon that is so un-American that you have to wonder if he was high on crack or something when he gave it. Sometimes I think people run out of things to say, and just don't know how to shut the __! up. Instead, they go on and on, and before you know it, they are ruining their careers and possibly, someone else's.

In his response to this firestorm, Sen. Obama goes on to say that the controversial statements Rev. Wright made were statements made when he was not in his presence or statements "I did not personally hear him preach while I sat in the pews."

This is significant, because it is a denial of being aware of any of Wright's inflammatory racist rhetoric. More importantly, if it turns out that Obama is placed in a sermon - remember he attended that church for 20 years! - when Wright was giving one of those "hate talks, then his Presidential bid is over. He is cooked.

It is too bad the media is all over this stuff about Obama's goofy pastor, because it takes away from a really important campaign issue relating to Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Everybody embellishes a little on their resume, but Sen. Clinton really took embellishing to another level! In fact, in nearly every aspect of her foreign policy experience that she campaigned on, factcheck.org found that she either lied or grossly exaggerated everything. In one case, she claimed that she negotiated open borders in Macedonia for fleeing Kosovar refugees. But there was one problem:

The Macdedonian border was opened a full day before she arrived!! This, to me, is the equivalent of a lie, not embellishment.

So, it looks like the Dems have a lot of work to do if either one of them are going to make some headway. Obama has to focus on the campaign and stop spending time answering questions about this moron of a preacher; he should just find a new church. Period. Hillary has got to find one thing that she can honestly say she did from a Foreign Policy standpoint and run with that. Having a phone ringing at 3am was effective, but too bad she doesn't have the experience or judgement...
