Well, now that the election dust has settled a bit, it’s question and answer time with your host.
Q: Well, what do you think of the Obama administration so far?
A: Actually, there isn’t REALLY an Obama administration yet, not until he actually takes the oath of office. But I have to admit, creating an “Office of the President-Elect” is pretty inventive, although it really doesn’t have any power whatsoever, other than for public relation purposes.
Q: And there WON’T be an Obama administration, because Obama is not really a citizen! He was really born in Kenya, right? There’s lawsuits over it, and …
A: Actually, all indications are that Obama has just as much right to be president as McCain, Palin, Biden or anyone else who ran. He was born in Hawaii, and state officials there vouch for his birth certificate being authentic. For the facts that clear the air on this, see Ronald Kessler’s article here at NewsMax (not exactly a DNC outlet); check out the shady side of one of the main proponents of the “Obama is not a citizen” arguments (e.g., a Philadelphia lawyer who claims that Obama’s grandmother said “on tape” that she witnessed Obama’s birth in Kenya would not produce the recording for Kessler).
Q: What about Obama’s picks for his cabinet?
A: Well, I really expected Jimmy Carter II, but not Bill Clinton II, which is what we’re getting. Still, it’s hilarious watching far leftists twisting in the wind on these picks (including bringing on anti-change Hillary as Secretary of State, and even keeping George W. Bush’s defense secretary on board; the HORROR!). But forget about showing Obama worshipers the inconsistencies. As Rush Limbaugh correctly notes, it’s not WHAT Obama says, it’s HOW he says it. He could recite “Mary Had a Little Lamb” in his inauguration speech, and the Obama true believers and media lapdogs would be falling all over themselves in wonder and praise.
Q: What about the great GOP comeback? Three victories in Georgia and Louisiana since the election!
A: Well, those victories benefited from not having Obama on the top of the ticket, drawing more Democrat voters to the polls. Still, with Saxby Chambliss’ win in Georgia, the Democrats won’t get to a filibuster-proof majority, although there’s enough GOP liberals to hand it to them anyway Of course, Minnesota looks to barely stay in the GOP column with a narrow Norm Coleman win, barring a certain lawsuit from sore loser Al Franken. Plus, while Joe Lieberman will caucus with the Democrats, he can be counted on to side with Republicans on issues regarding homeland security, terrorism and supporting Israel. Then there is the debacle with Governor Blag in Obama’s home state, trying to sell the soon-to-be vacated Senate seat. The battle in the state legislature to remove Blag, and the Senate’s balking at seating any Blag appointments, leaves the Donkey Party another senator short of forcing through Obama’s agenda, at least temporarily. So while the GOP victories are encouraging, it’s still a long way from regaining the country.
I’ll have some more question and answer in a little bit. Stay tuned.

Matthew 25 Network influence: slip slidin' away
Pity the poor Matthew 25 Network.
The outfit created by Barak Obama’s presidential campaign to deceive … er, to recruit Evangelical, Pentecostals and Charismatics into backing the media’s anointed great hope for America looked like they were on a roll to take a chunk out of this bloc of voters, or at least confuse them enough to make them stay at home. With an assortment of wolves in sheep’s clothing and a smattering of other “religious figures” (mainly from liberal churches), they splashed onto the scene by ridiculing Dr. James Dobson, and the media loudly sang of its wonder and praise of this “courageous” group.
Then Obama ran into a brick wall at Rick Warren’s “proto-debate” at Saddleback church, where he gave a really flaky answer on the abortion question, while John McCain, in contrast, gave a straightforward answer defending the rights of the unborn.
Now, they have to be in a real tailspin with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a Spirit-filled Christian who is strongly pro-life, being picked by McCain as his running mate for vice president. The group‘s “evangelical shock value” spokesman Brian McLaren (that is, one who brandishes the title “evangelical,” then contradicts evangelical values so he can be “different”) and friends can only muster up a whining response:
“The Matthew 25 Network is extremely disappointed in Sarah Palin's address last night at the Republican National Convention. We call on her to commit herself to campaigning in good faith, with love and respect for her political opponents and a strong commitment to truth-telling …”
Maybe if McLaren and company can convince their own leading candidate to do the same (for example, Obama needs to “put away falsehood,” as Matthew 25 likes to harp, and tell the truth about his relationship with former Weather Underground terrorist group leader Bill Ayers--the same Ayers who Obama claims to know only as someone in his neighborhood, but who actually launched Obama’s political career in his living room, and served alongside Obama in his “community organizing.” See my previous post).
To paraphrase an old Paul Simon song, Matthew 25 Network sees, with Palin’s addition to McCain’s ticket, their potential influence “slip slidin’ away.” And the evangelical community will be better for it.

Palin: ready to rumble!
Alaska Governor and Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, speaking Wednesday night on her experience as mayor of Wasilla: "And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."
In an outstanding speech at the RNC Wednesday, this was the line of the night--and not just by exposing Barak Obama and Joe Biden’s shallow attacks on her service as Wasilla’s mayor. It also throws the ball in Obama’s court about his “community organizing.“ Only Stanley Kurtz of the National Review has even bothered to check into this, meeting a bristling response from Obama’s robotic followers, who flooded a radio station Kurtz was on with complaints (but with no specific facts to contradict Kurtz’s research into this part of Obama’s resume).
Let’s put this issue into perspective: since Friday, when John McCain announced that Palen was his running mate, the national Obama cheerlead…er, I mean, media, were able to dig up all kinds about facts about Palin’s husband's 20-plus years old DUI, and about alleged, vague improprieties as governor. The media also looked on with silent approval when Daily Kos bloggers viciously attacked Palen’s children, forcing the McCain campaign to reveal that her 17-year-old daughter was pregnant, and was marrying the father (to Obama and Biden‘s great credit, they denounced this attack on Palin‘s children). And more sludge will surely dribble out before Nov. 4.
But since Obama entered the presidential race, NOT ONE of these media giants even looked into his “community organizing” with one Bill Ayers, a leader of the domestic terrorist group, The Weather Underground (also known by their other idiotic name, the Weathermen, stealing the reference from a Bob Dylan song). Obama claimed Ayers was just someone he knew in the neighborhood. Right, someone “in the neighborhood” enough to host Obama’s launch into politics in his living room, and to serve on some “community organizing boards” with the media’s savior of America.
This Bill Ayers is quite a character. His murderous group went around bombing government buildings--including the U.S. Capitol--and police stations from the late 60s to the early 80s, with Ayers later whining to The New York Times in 2001 that his terrorist group didn’t do more. When he was acquitted of one of these attacks (due to prosecution mishandling of evidence), he proclaimed he was “guilty as sin, free as a bird.”
Obama’s campaign response is weak, weak, weak, “Obama was only 8 years old” (so why does he associate with Ayers NOW?). “He has denounced Ayers’ crimes” (That’s news to me. Show me where and when). Of course, any revelation about Obama’s relationship with Ayers would require the media to turn on their anointed savior, and I’m sure you’ll instead hear cries of “guilt by association is not fair.” Now, if the media had ever found McCain “associating” with the likes of KKK idiot-in-chief David Dukes … oh, but I’m sure the media would handle it even-handedly (and also, by the way, there IS an Easter Bunny).
As I said above, Palin’s speech was a knockout, and I found myself laughing all the way through it. Of course, the MSM will dismiss it, with Eleanor Clift claiming that when Palin was picked by McCain, there was derisive “laughter” in newsrooms across America. After Palin’s brilliant speech, Clift and her leftist newsroom comrades are not laughing now.
Second best line of the night was from former NYC Mayor Rudy Guliani, about the feminist Democratic Party’s hypocrisy, in questioning whether Palin can be vice president while raising five children: “They never ask a man that.”

I need a little help.
I’m thinking of starting a website, and need some ideas.
I learned this weekend about Houston mega church Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell, and his cute website, "jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme," attacking Dr. James Dobson for defending himself against a Barak Obama attack in a 2006 speech to a liberal religious group, and bringing attention to Obama’s weird biblical views in the same speech (described in previous entry).
The good pastor, who is a spiritual advisor to President Bush (I think the president needs a replacement in this category) and who officiated at Jenna Bush’s wedding (I guess this is the part where I say “gasp!”), claims his website is done “in the spirit of love.” It was also set up with an unseen hand—not the Divine One, but with the aid of an Obama campaign worker, Alyssa Martin. It's also interesting how quickly this website was up and running, about 24 hours after Dobson's radio program about Obama.
But not to worry: Pastor Caldwell (whom I sure would NEVER think about using his connection to the president for any partisan purposes) regularly prays via telephone with Obama staff members (I’m guessing godly wisdom for Christian voters—considering Obama’s extreme left positions—isn‘t on that prayer list).
So in the spirit of love, I’m thinking about starting my own website in response. I’m torn between these possible addresses:

Well, which one do you think works best?
