Scorched Earth, Obama Style

One other thing. And it really struck me. Joe says, seriously and with great import, that Hillary has lost herself the VP slot because of this.

I’m laughing my ass off here. As if Hillary would be caught standing next to this loser, carry him to victory and then do all his work so he can preen and prance around and take credit. What arrogant asses the surrogates of that arrogant ass are.

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard the race card played on TV in at least 16 hours. I’m sure they will catch up tomorrow. No sense of not pissing off ALL white voters.

Because it’s not over! Hillary is winning the popular vote!

Larry, didn’t you get the memo that Barack sent out?
I think he might have borrowed the text from George Orwell, but now that all books have been burned and
the internet has been scrubbed, I can’t find it. And I can’t really remember anything too well, anymore– it seems. I think it might be something to do with the food that are issuing this month. But I can’t be sure…

Oh… yeah… I almost forgot… the memo…
“WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”

Obama campaigning in Florida. Caught on video!

Of course, Mr. Chicago Politico runs ad that accuse Hillary of doing what he has done. His rally is on tape!

The topic of the Obama kerfuffle over the Hillary reference to RFK needs to be put in proper perspective for several reasons.

It was done on a Memorial Day weekend, as an attempt to hijack sensibilities in the holiday news cycle.

It was done with disregard for RFK Jr.’s own opinion with how it was said.

It was done as some kind of attempt to turn it into a smear against Senator Clinton, as someone who must have hoped to incite an assassin, with some kind of racial retribution overtones implied.

Barack’s own campaign sent out talking points of such a nature.

Bobby Kennedy is an Icon in our mythology, Barack does not measure to that stature. For him to try and claim some kind of moral equivalence is immoral.

As for the historical record, there remains much background in the death of both Kennedy brothers that was essentially unheeded. Their brother recovers from a stroke at this time, and regardless of political differences one would have expected better of Obama than trying to use their experiences as cheap ploy, as Carville notes.

So the Obama campaign dishonored Memorial Day weekend as best it could by advancing the story to their aims.

This fundamentally discolors the holiday’s purpose, an affront to those who have loss to mourn or recall.

This also disrespects RFK’s own efforts, whose historic speech on the night of MLK’s killing in Memphis, given by Bobby from within Indiana, welded the legacy he went on to forge to that of King Jr.’s in the assertion that humanity shares in its loss of great leaders as one would lose their brother.

The Memorial Day weekend is about remembrance, but to have RFK’s name brought up with it brings up the loss of his brother, President John F.Kennedy, as well.

In the past a man who was part of the security detail in Dallas was someone I had opportunity to meet, for a brief time. There was a BBC special being aired upon the assassination, on witnesses meeting untimely ends, on people who claimed more than one shooter were there.

A friend believed this to be quite interesting, he disliked Kennedy’s politics, and it carried to a dislike of him personally.

We went to a video outlet and got the BBC Documentary. Went back and watched it with others, he shared with us a bit of a story.
The coworker of his worked in Dallas when JFK was shot. He didn’t just work there, he saw much of the day’s events happen. He was contracted to be part of the Secret Service’s help for the day.

The Secret Service actually hired a large part of SCI people for the work.

In fact, the Documentary film showed him at the airport in Dallas, dressed crisply, black and white reel footage. My friend would point and grin at his appearances, long a coworker of his in the prior two decades. They were driving along the motorcade, quite familiar with the town and the local cops, part of the help.

The documentary went on to suggest more than one person was involved in his killing, as a later Congressional hearing found evidence to be true n the 70s.

The Secret Service detail subcontractors were staffers for SCI. Services Corporation International, presently the largest funeral service chain in America, was getting its start in Texas with the ability to buy up regional competition and downsize the technical aspects of preparation, allowing them to focus upon more efficient return and buying market share to the front end of service industry.

Ironically, the man who did the restorative work on JFK’s head was one of his coworkers, who flew to Bethesda with the President

So the Secret Service employed the guys working to protect President Kennedy and these were the same guys who provided his two caskets(he changed one from Dallas to Md). You knew they could dress the part in three piece suits, hires who were themselves Directors and/or Embalmers, all of whom were pretty familiar with the Dallas PD and several other characters of interest in the sage surrounding the events there.

Anyways, after my friend shared what he was told by the man, that JFK was driven “into a crossfire” among the many items he cared to share, with the film it raised a sad kind era of the American chapter. That was the dawn of our greatest days in a lot of ways.

When I briefly met the man, we did discuss much of the day. My greatest interest was in the Warren Commission. Did he ever say anything?

He said he was “never asked” and that he “decided it would a good idea not to say anything.” That was my way of taking it that he was given due reason to withold talk. It seems strange the Commission would go so short as to not even talk with many of the people under contract for the President’s protection.

But he did confirm that they drove “into a crossfire” and that “they had people all over the place, guns were going off everywhere.”

He worked decades for SCI. That company was GWB’s number four career contributor going into 2000. They own big chain funeral homes in Florida and Texas where the Bush family can get enough swing votes to steal close races, even if they have to enroll deceased voters to get it. Cheney shot a Texas funeral bigwig in the face on a hunting trip, at the time there were some inquiries to missing bodies from Katrina, and several Florida scandals. The same interests were subcontracting the Katrina DMORT efforts for the most part.

Maybe someone can ask Sen.Spector about that since he’s the only living member of the Warren Commission.

These days, the media can take you out and not have need to kill you if you are a politicos of any degree. There’s still DC Madames and other little people to take care of the old fashioned way. The big dogs simply get taken down by the 24/7 news cycle, a different kind of bullet works to its effects for the powers that be in America. Now if you live in Pakistan it could be another story at this time…

This could be seen personally in the Dumond/Huckabee saga, and how the news in essence carried a blind eye to the Hunting of a President, or even helped go after Clinton personally while his family members had to deal with the Dumond rape trial.
The way they throw RFK’s name around and try to tangle this should certainly be addressed. Heaven forbid that his great legacy gets assumed by someone lacking to the extent Obama does. If Teddy passed anytime soon they’d try and pass the mantle onto Barack until the Rep.Kennedy gets a bit older.

Obama doesn’t deserve to step into that void. He never served like most of the Kennedy brothers did in the armed forces. He never took stands past the point of expediency either.

He lacks the warmth and insight any of those brothers had in addition to his lack of background. He’s an empty suit, what Ken Laye is to Big Energy, Obama is to Community Organizing. No wonder he voted for Cheney’s Energy policy while gas is through the roof. In fact Obama’s campaign director is very similar to Keny Laye in his own PR profile for big power firms. That’s nothing like the men who spoke to many American’s dreams from a perspective of sacrificie like that of two deceased Kennedy brothers.

Someone needs to say it, and since they are using the names nonchalantly, it would be my preference spoke truth to power on the topic.

It was important to let some time pass between Memorial Day and having said this, perhaps it has been said too late to draw attention now. All apologies, if that is the case.

If you really wanted to claim an allegiance with Bobby on these topics you’d probably have brought real justice and true closure to their passing. Instead of using some patsy and shameful commission for a cover up, then trying to draw similar analagies today for expediency’s sake.

I’ve never heard of Joe Madison. Now that I’ve heard him – what a putz! Ken Starr would be long gone if the Clintons were killers.

Small wonder I don’t watch MSNBC anymore.

My dogs are more insightful and way cuter.

Bill O’Reilly went off on MSNBC (especially Mr. Potato Head) tonight for pandering to Oblowme and skewering HRC and I found myself cheering him on.

These are strange days.

On the bright side: this episode gives Hillary an excuse not to accept the veep slot on an Obama ticket!

Someone said that all the Obama voters were people who thought Obama would get them everything they want for free. All they would have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the good life at the government’s expense. Free food, free housing, free medical, free education, government jobs, just one great big happy family with no resonsibilities. No worries whatsoever. I suppose that is the reason they all think he is the messiah who has come to establish heaven on earth for the entire cult. In short, all us working class dumbasses who work because we think we should pay our own way and we like the feeling of accomplishment, would be slaves to the Obama voters who think they should get everything for free and he is going to get it for them. And they are all drinking his medicine show hadacol.

I think it is Clinton who should be worried about her safety. It’s the Obama campaign pushing the envelop on he’s not safe. Bull crap. It’s Clinton who isn’t safe, especially with all Obama’s cultish followers. As MO says about barama, we Clinton supporters must be vigilant in stopping this kind of talk against our candidate.

What the senator from Dewars, as I affectionately call Teddy, forgets is that he fought the same kind of fight for the same reasons as HRC.
