Born in Hawaii
Of parents disparate
Educated here and abroad
Hawaii, IndonesiaCalifornia,
New York and Massachusetts
He worked in the heartland
He organized with a heart
Then he declared his intent
To serve a greater community
Thus he serves us all today
Will his service be rewarded with success?
Will his service be rewarded
With four more years?
Only time and tide and you and I will decide.
Forward to four more years.

Money and race

GOP insiders privately concede that Mitt can’t win in November. However, the race will go on and enormous sums will be spent in negative ads, particularly virulent and false ads by the GOP superpacs. The contest should not be close and it would not be if Barack were white. Mitt is not racist, but some voters will vote against Barack because Mitt is white and he is not.

I am looking forward to the debates; they will feature two men who look presidential. With Mitt, it stops there. Barack not only looks presidential, he is President and thinks, speaks and acts presidential. It will be no contest. Barack will blow Mitt out of the water.

New and improved

We Americans are suckers for the slogan “New and improved.” We take it as an article of faith that any product that is “new and improved” is better than what it replaces. Mitt is portraying himself as the “new and improved” candidate to replace the tried and true President Barack Obama. We know Barack and he has demonstrated his worth to the nation. Mitt is making a lot of promises without giving us specifics or a chance of a test drive. He does not talk about his four years as Governor of Massachusetts which is the most relevant information that voters could use to decide his fate. In the words of a Texas axiom Mitt, you’re all hat and no cattle.

Narcissism

As a member of the BOTT, Barack Obama Truth Team, I subscribe to many conservative blogs that I would normally avoid. I have found that most of them just re-blog someone else’s thoughts. There is little original thought and even less truth and fact.

Recently I have noted that accusing President Obama of narcissism is a popular option. I think that Barack Obama has good reason to be proud of his accomplishments and is not guilty of narcissism. Rather I think that Barack’s critics are trying to say that Barack does not deserve his office. The word that they want to apply to him but don’t dare to use is that he is too uppity for a member of his race and ancestry. They use the charge of narcissism to conceal their true opinion.

Hillary was right

Hillary said there was a vast right-wing conspiracy against Bill and herself. At the time, I doubted it. Now that I see the same tactics repeated against President Obama, I have revised my opinion and think that she hit the nail on the head. There is a vast right-wing conspiracy of lies and liars directed against anything Democratic or democratic, funded by the 1% so that we shall have government by the 1%, for the 1% and of the 1% if we elect Mitt in November.

You know the charges are true when the Right tries to divert attention by falsely accusing their accusers of the same charges. They do it every time, and it is a clear admission of guilt. Mitt admits his flip-flopping by accusing President Obama of changing his mind. Mitt admits a vast right-wing conspiracy by making up a vast left-wing conspiracy to excuse his gaffes.

P.S. Hillary was right before she was left. She and I both supported Goldwater in 1964. I voted for him, but she was too young to vote. We grew up 8 miles apart in the western suburbs of Chicago.
