Ooops, He Did It Again!

This year's presidential election is arguably one of the most important elections in the past several decades, and with the Republican candidate chosen long ago the Democrats have seized their race as an amazing opportunity to embarass themselves and expose every weakness they have while McCain sits at home laughing at the headlines. Now, I'm not a big fan of John McCain, but i absolutely despise both of the Democratic nominees this year, in large part because i hate feeling like I'm being lied to constantly.
In the past few days a secret recording of Obama in a meeting with San Fran's key political financial backers, was heard saying this of Pennsylvania's working-class voters;

“It’s not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment. . . .”

In short, he considers anyone not supporting him in Pennsylvania, bitter, gun-toting bible thumping racists. Good idea buddy. Insult them, that'll work.

Watching Obama and Clinton stick their foots in their proverbial mouths every week has now over-taken watching Red Sox baseball games on my favorite things to do list. I'm amazed at how often a professional speaker (which is all they're really good for) can manage to self-destruct so consistently. I suppose lying can get confusing when you tell different lies everyday.

Here's my advice to Mr. Obama. If you're going to lie, stick with it. Write them down on a notepad. Invest in some post-its and stick them to the podium. Hire Mayor Villarigosa from LA to remember them. He's a pro at lying. Just stop making yourself look like a fool.

And a little note for HIllary, don't be so quick to point out Obama's faults. There might be snipers around. Or not.
