That is the question I am posing. My neighbor C brought it to my attention. We have not seen an “angry Barack Obama” yet. What happens when he is under pressure and things aren’t going his way? Well so far, it appears his staff shows the first signs of slow unravel. First there was the NAFTA issue which some are blaming for Obama’s loss of Ohio, number one stupid mistake of “Team Hope” staff member. And published today we see yet another staff member’s seams are appearing to loosen. Samantha Power, Mr Obama’s key foreign policy aide, let the pressure get the best of her and the truth of character revealed itself.
In London at an interview with the Scotsman she was quoted as saying
“We f***** up in Ohio. In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio’s the only place they can win”
“She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything,” (quote taken from http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/latestnews/Inside-US-poll-battle-as.3854371.jp )
I am sure Mr. Obama’s campaign is squeaky clean and is not stooping to ANY sort of the political shenanigans they are accusing Clinton of. (Please note that was sarcasm). All they have to fight on is that she has not yet released her tax returns. Yes, that is REALLY going to change my vote, how Bill and Hill did their taxes this year. I mean the horrors.
Keep careful vigil folks, pressure brings out the truth in people, it’s time to observe and listen for another seam to rip from the “Hope Fabric”.
So I had some wine last night. My new neighbor came downstairs carrying a bottle and a half with her to hang out. So I said screw it – whatever – NEW RULE! No drinking ALONE! So let’s see what the record will be for me breaking THAT one.
Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. I am both looking forward to it and dreading it, kind of like a business trip to Vegas. My “former” stepmother is coming to see me. I have not seen her since she and my father divorced 14 years ago. I was in middle school (junior high to some). Now I haven’t seen my father since either – but one or two times – his choice. He’s a shitty father, and well a shitty person. He is the very definition of a sociopath. Anyway, he cheated on R(my former stepmother) and she left him. She and I just recently reconnected about a month ago(via myspace and facebook), and now she is flying out to stay with me for three days. (4 days 3 nights technically). I’m not quite sure what to do with that. I think I remember slightly her getting on my nerves when I was 12. But she is sweet and good hearted and wants SO badly to know me now. We’ll see how this goes.
On another note – politics. I was SO excited that Hillary did well last night. And I am not even a democrat. If it came down to it I would vote for her over Obama. He frightens me. My little brother said it best “young people are flocking to Obama like sheep to the slaughter.” He is an amazing public speaker, amazing, very charismatic, charming and passionate – but about WHAT I ask? I know I know I know “hope and change” “Changing the world”, and etc etc etc.
Well Mr. Obama – I call Bull Shit.
