The Sour Puss and the Hopeful Beacon of Change

May 7, 2008


Nothing new accept the audience in Obama’s message. He is singing to the regular I will buy anything Stalin part of the Democratic party. (Here is a clue how Left he is, Gore has not endoresed him).

The National Journal rates him the most Liberal President ever if he wins.

Meanwhile as part of the Obama package we will get a 1st Lady who shows a glimpse into what we are getting for our money. A sour puss of an attitude about this country. While her husband decries, Yes we can”, she says she has never ben proud of this Country until now. (Bush is still President Mrs. Obama, you might wait until you win. Unless you love the stuff he is doing).

At Hugh Hewitt, they counter the pride thing with some pretty good stuff about AMerica:

Home ownership increased from 55% of Americans in 1955 to 66% of the country in 2000.  The percentage of the population 25 years or older with a college degree went from 6.2% in 1950 to 24.4% in 2000.  The percentage of Americans living in poverty has been cut in half in the last 50 years.  The country’s population increased by 80% between 1950 and 2000, but the most basic of American indicators of possibilities and opportunities –car ownership– soared by 383%!

The experience of the African-American population has not been that of the rest of the country, though significant progress has been recorded within that demographic as well, but so too have significant problems especially when it comes to family structure.  The marriage rate for African Americans has been dropping for more than 30 years, and many other measures point to a general disadvantage among African Americans vis-a-vis the rest of the population.

And as mentioned in an earlier post Hitchens said she put together a less than impressive Doctorate paper that despite its poor read may put into perspective why the sour face.

And on the good judgement theme…first there was Wright and then Jesse Jr.
