HALLI CASSER-JAYNE - bio
While
John McCain and Barack Obama are duking it out over the issue of race here
in the United States, former President Bill Clinton, America’s racist in
chief according to the Obama campaign, is granting photo-ops in Africa where
his foundation just awarded a five million dollar grant to Ethiopia in order
to refurbish 50 healthcare clinics so that people don’t have to walk miles
to get AIDS medication. HALLI CASSER-JAYNE - bio Bill Clinton and Barack
Obama have a lot in common, but it is that both men grew up without their
fathers that could be the tie that binds. Yet despite sharing similar backgrounds there is no
love lost between the former President and the presumptuous Democratic Party
nominee. HALLI CASSER-JAYNE - bio The way things are going
in this presidential campaign, this country could do a lot worse than having
Paris Hilton as its next president. That’s right, Paris Hilton. Laugh all you want but Ms. Hilton, the latest celeb to
be injected into the presidential race…lest we forget Ms. Oprah Winfrey…may
be the Botox of many a joke, but in the meantime Ms. I Love Paris in the
Springtime Cause She Sizzles has managed to build herself quite a career,
not to mention a Gucci-sized bank account. HALLI CASSER-JAYNE - bio As the 2008 Olympic Games
get underway in that country of smog and human rights violations, China, the
games continue here in this country of smog and human rights
violations. While the President of the United States makes
accusatory remarks to the Chinese government, one can only wonder what he is
thinking about his own violations of Democratic rights as the leader of the
free world.
What is an American presidential election? "The most awesome
transfer of power in the world—the power to marshal and mobilize,
the power to send men to kill or be killed, the power to tax and
destroy, the power to create and the responsibility to do so, the
power to guide and the responsibility to heal—all committed into the
hands of one man."
Underreported and worth taking a look at is the fact that while
Barack Obama was vacationing in Hawaii he granted his old white
grandmother a mere hour audience with
He, the Anointed One, her
grandson. The Lady Michelle and the Obama children, on the other
hand, chose not to visit with the grandmother, but to remain behind
at the rented sprawling Kailua 8 million dollar, 12,000 square foot
ocean front estate with 10.5 bathrooms owned by Democratic Party
contributor Jill Tate Higgins.
Call me old
fashioned, call me a sentimental, call me whatever…I’ve been called
worse. But I love the song, You’re a Grand Old Flag. La la la
la la, "you’re a grand old flag you’re a high flyin’ flag and
forever in peace will you wave.”
OK, enuf. I was nine years old, I had the WORST case of the measles,
and was bedridden for six weeks. And for six weeks I lay in bed, my
itchy little speckled face peaking from beneath the covers focused
on the TV and the Million Dollar Movie on New York’s WOR-TV Channel
9, that played day and night, and night day, that movie of all
movies, Yankee Doodle Dandy.
When handsome John F. Kennedy was
seeking the presidency, the man with looks that could have put his image on
the cover of a Harlequin Romance novel, America’s women fantasized
all sorts of things about the relatively young president. I doubt
many of the fantasies had to do with Kennedy sitting across the
table from the Soviet President Nikita Khrushchev. And didn’t they
all love those below the radar rumors of Kennedy’s relationship with
Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe? Of course, no one really wanted
to know the truth about Kennedy’s extracurricular activities; they
just wanted to enjoy the rumors. A little bit of bad-boy enhanced
the image of the future president. Yes, American’s love their rascals.
My
dearest, darling Barack,
This is
so difficult to write. We’ve been seeing each other for what seems
like forever. From the frozen fields of Iowa to where we are today
might as well be an eternity. It’s hard to believe it’s only been
eight months.
While Americans are losing their
homes in record numbers, the two bozos running for the President of
the United States are throwing chairs at each other questioning
which is the guy who best feels the pain of Mr. and Mrs. and Ms.
Average American.
So much for the transformational
election both Senators promised us.
“A chair is still a chair,” so to
speak. Election 2008: politics as usual.
The
pundits will wax eloquent for the next few days and most will praise
Obama for making the right pick for his running mate. The love-fest
with Joe Biden will be as sweet as a lick of cotton candy. But at
the end of the day, the story is Barack Obama’s. And whether or not
he gets elected president rests solely on Barack Obama’s shoulders
because Biden can save Obama, but can Obama save himself?
Hi-dee-ho here we go a Democratic Party convention all fluff and no
substance, a rolling stone of ideas gathering no moss but bloated
with self-aggrandizement. After all, on Thursday, the party of ideas
and no action is about to be the first to break the race barrier and
nominate an African-American as their party’s nominee. Everyone’s
backs are bruised from the en masse tapping of self-praise. Did you
ever meet a liberal who didn’t get his/her jets off by breaking down
social barriers?
The Democratic Party, the Feel-Good Party of no ideas less action
but hi-dee-ho on social issues.
That happy talkin’ boy borne of the
island of Hawaii in the South Pacific, that man of mixed race who
has captured the hearts of many gave the acceptance speech of a
lifetime last night before a crowd of 85,000 in Denver’s Invesco
Field.
