How Do You Spell "SWIFTBOAT"?

O'Bama running for the presidency, If that doesn't beat all. I can see already that the democrats are going to have a battle royale on their hands.

My prediction is "Ugly". Two years running for office is a long time and with O'Bama being black, I can see a lot of "Swift-boating" action ahead. White candidates will be afraid to say anything against O'Bama for fear of being called racist. It's already started. Barak's education has been called into question and the Clinton camp doesn't know a thing about the report or where it came from. Then there's Joe Biden's comment. I didn't see anything wrong with what he said, but I'm white so what do I know? I had to be educated over the next couple of days about the subject by Jesse and Al.

Congress works longer now and it's a good thing, because with all these candidates running around the country, it's hard to see how much work they'll be able to get done. At least, it's hard for me to see anyway. To me it looks like 2 more years of Bush bashing. We're going to be hearing about Bush for the next 20 years. just like Ronald Regan and he was right.

You must admit though, it's better to have congress doing nothing. They don't have a clue. Experts are grilled in front of committees on TV and they just ignore what they hear. That is unless the person agrees with the interrogators point of view. We witnessed an example of it last week. The Expert (the General) says one thing and the inexperienced (congress) doesn't like what he has to say, so the inexperienced explain to the Expert that he doesn't know what he's talking about and he's wrong, but he's still OK in their book.

Got off the path a little here, so back to the "swiftboating". About the only way to say anything negative about O'Bama is to let the 527's take care of any problems the domocrats think they have.

Then again, there's another possibility. That Barak escapes a beating altogether, because everyone's afraid to say anything for fear of being misconstrued. Even Bill and Hillary are going to be putting on the kid gloves. Republicans especially. They can't say anything bad or even good about him without the country going nuts. We could end up with an inexperienced senator becoming an untested president.

Now that would really make for a boring campaign. But if that happens I'm sure the news media will find a way to liven things up. It all depends on which democrat they think should be president, for the good of the People, ofcourse.
