Barack Obama and Deborah Honeycutt

Barack Obama and his beloved pastor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright

On my popular (and sometimes controversial) Hillary Supporters for McCain site today (Tuesday/Wednesday), I have many quotes from Barack Obama illustrating his continual use of racial stereotypes. The Obama statements reflect his tendency to emphasize either his Black roots or his White ones depending on which audience he is addressing.

On my Pennsylvania site this week, I've been discussing a congressional candidate, Dr. Deborah Honeycutt, whom many people believe could be not only the first Black President, but also the first female President. She's someone worth knowing about.

Come visit and, if you wish, leave youir thoughts.

In mid-July, this column will begin focusing on Ohio politics.

How Politics "Money Game" Works

On my Pennyslvania blog Sunday and Monday I will be talking about how the "money game" really works in politics and how Republican candidates can play the "game" to their advantage, something most of them aren't doing. The piece has relevance not only to PA candidates, but also to GOP challengers in Ohio and throughout the nation. On my Hillary Supporters for McCain site, I take about Barack Obama consistenly uses race in his efforts to gain political advantage. On about July 15, I will begin focusing here on McCain and other GOP candidates in Ohio.

Come visit.

Tom/Travis Manion: American Heroes

Manion, a Marine Corps veteran, lost his son Travis in the Iraq War. Please visit the site for information. http://pennsylvaniaforjohnmccain.blogspot.com/.

Hillary Supporters Despise Barack Obama

Below: Alaska Gov. Sarah Heath Palin with baby son Trig swaddled. Picture is with Sarah and legislators on capital steps in Juneau. Sarah is now the front-runner for the GOP vice presidential nomination. This weekend I'll have separate columns about Gov. Palin on my national blog and my "Hillary Supporters for McCain" blog. I urge you to visit and bookmark those sites.

The biggest buzz in the blogosphere nowadays reflects the vast number of Hillary Clinton supporters who intend to vote for McCain. As I explain on my Hillary Supporters for McCain blog -- the original such site -- one of the Hillary supporters for McCain may be the New York Senator herself.

Here's the link:Doesn't Hillary Really Favor McCain?

On the above column on that popular site, I assert the following: Tomorrow, Senator Clinton will endorse a man she despises: Barack Obama. Her heart definitely will not be in it.

I believe Hillary Clinton will be "blowing smoke" at us in her Saturday endorsement of Barack Obama. She's going to have her fingers crossed. Everything Sen. Clinton does between now and November 4 is going to be based not on the 2008 election, but on the one in 2012. Right now, she's in full "grin-and-bear-it" mode.

Conversely, her supporters are not grinning -- and, as we hear in the movie "Network," they're "not going to take it any more."Her heart definitely will not be in it.

Let's see, what did Barack and his surrogates (including Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger) say about Hillary? That she's a chronic liar, that she's a warmonger (for supporting the Iraq War Resolution), and a racist. They also profoundly misrepresented the assasination of Bobby Kennedy. Other than those things, I guess, they feel she's okay.

Hillary was badly trashed in the Democratic primaries. And the person running the trash machince was none other than Barack Obama. His windy rhetoric somehow prevailed over Sen. Clinton's issues-oriented campaign. As history will record, he scooped up such huge majorities in Black communities that Sen. Clinton had no real chance to win enough delegates.

In the primaries, Blacks voting in lock-step for Obama was somehow an issue of pride. In contrast, white voters supporting Clinton apparently was a manifestation of racism.

As Obama put it, the Clinton supporters were "bitter" people, "clinging" to their religion, guns, and racial prejudices. That "contrasted" with his supporters, whose hearts were supposedly pure.

No wonder so many Hillary Supporters are sickened by the outcome. Obama has a history of being associated with black racists (Wright, Farrakhan) and white racists (Pfleger), and militant anti-Americans (add in the name William Ayers).

Somehow, those associations didn't disqualify him for the presidency -- as they would have surely if he were seen as a "white" candidate. When Obama's wife made anti-American statements ("America in 2008 is a mean country"), the candidate proclaimed she was not open to questions.

Senator Clinton has a political history of supporting causes favored by American Blacks. Her "reward" for that record has been to be characterized as a racist.

Dana Walsh Deserves Our Support

Republican congressional candidate Dana Walsh is taking on Nancy Pelosi. Dana needs your support.

Let's make a major effort to support Republican congressional candidate Dana Walsh. I am going to put up on every blog (and I have a bunch) an appeal to send a contribution to Ms. Walsh. She's pro-military and running against Cindy Sheehan and Nancy Pelosi, "the witches of the West." I hope a whole lot of people online will feature Dana Walsh at: http://danawalshforcongress.com/. Her web site is terrific. It has pics of Sheehan and Pelosi playing huggy-bear with dictators (Chavez and Assad)

If you want to read "The Real Skinny" on American politics, something you won't hear on the mindless cable channels, please visit my national blog and my "Hillary Supporters" blog. Thanks.

By June 15, I will be focusing on Ohio politics (especially federal offices).

Is Bill Clinton Dating Again?

"She [Hillary] sounds like she's planning a coalition government. The two of 'us" are going to run this together." (David Gergen of CNN on Hillary Clinton)

Picture above is of Gina Gershon, actress linked romantically in Vanity Fair article to former President Bill Clinton. The article was written by Todd Purdum, who is married to Clinton's former press secretary, Dee Dee Myers. Yikes! Somehow, the Botoxed lips don't work for me. However, a friend in Ambridge, PA said of Bill, "I can't believe it. As he gets older, the girlfriends get better looking."

The following is from my Hillary Supporters for McCain site, which I urge you to visit.

Bulletin: Tomorrow (Thursday) I'll talk about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and what lies ahead for her. If I had a crystal ball, I'd predict that -- in 2012 -- Mrs. Clinton would be running for President . . . against Vice-President Sarah Palin. Hey, stranger things haven't happened, I admit, but we paddle along nowadays in uncharted waters. The following are Bill Clinton's comments about how the Obama campaign and its surrogates have been "sliming" (nice word, Bill) his wife.

"The editor of Esquire— he sent us an email yesterday and said it was the single sleaziest piece of journalism he'd seen in decades. He said it made him want to go take a shower and he was embarrassed to be a journalist when he read it."

"You know he [Todd Purdum] didn't use a single name, cite a single source in all those things he said. It's just slimy. It's part of the national media's attempt to nail Hillary for Obama. It's the most biased press coverage in history. It's another way of helping Obama.

"They had all these people standing up in this church [Barack's now-former church, Trinity United] cheering, calling Hillary a white racist, and he didn't do anything about it. The first day he said 'Ah, ah, ah well.' Because that's what they do— he [Obama] gets other people to slime her. So then they saw the movie they thought this is a great ad for John McCain— maybe I better quit the church. It's all politics."

"It's all about the bias of the media for Obama. Don't think anything about it."

Steve adds: I doubt we've heard the last of this. On Dee Dee Myers: Clinton did appoint her press secretary, but decided relatively soon that she wasn't up to the job. I thought she was (and is) a capable PR person. Apparently, she was very hurt by President Bill tossing her under the bus, but she's avoided trashing him.

Do I believe McCain supporters should use Bill Clinton's comments against Obama? I sure do. Mrs. Clinton has portrayed Barack Obama as a man not at all ready to be President. She should be reminded of her comments -- and so should Obama.
