Hello again…
Getting close to the 4th of July. The politicians are headed for the picnic grounds, fireworks displays and wherever there’s a flag in which to wrap oneself – at lease the rhetoric sounds that way.
Barack Obama commenced his three pronged attack on John McCain… defending his own patriotic gestures… like not wearing a flag lapel pin, nor putting his hand over his heart while not singing the Star Spangled Banner, or not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Oh right … I got all of those backwards. He’s changed his ways. CHANGE … that’s the theme… I forgot. But didn’t John Kerry use up all the change last time? Oh… I forgot again… the theme has CHANGED. It’s not FLIP- FLOP this year. It’s time for CHANGE – So Barack sent his military advisor Wes Clark, out to say flying a jet fighter and getting shot down and spending five plus years in a Viet Nam prison camp really wasn’t sufficient to qualify one to be Commander in Chief – but that got retracted by his Chief before sundown… Thursday’s program if something more interesting doesn’t come along.
Well, John McCain was so impressed with Barack’s reformation he launched his own “Truth Squad” of “Swift Boat Veterans” – brought out of retirement from the “04” campaign to make sure Mr. O… hews the line. I don’t think it’s stirring up a lot of emotion yet. But the race has all of July and August to ‘heat up’ – as if we needed any more hot air to add to the woes of “Global Warming.”
All of the things that needed saying couldn’t be squoze into one minute… so I’ll have to do the second half on Thursday morning. Stay tuned.
Cordially IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
OBAMA DEFENDS HIS PATRIOTIC RECORD
Just A Minute – I don’t often quote CNN – because… well, let’s say they’re a tad less impartial than I am. Anyway, here are excerpts of CNN’s coverage of Obama’s defense of his patriotism yesterday in
(quote) ”At certain times over the past 16 months, I have found for the first time, my patriotism challenged – at times as a result of my own carelessness.” He went on to vow never to challenge the patriotism of others in the campaign adding, “I will not stand idly by when I hear others question mine.”
Still quoting CNN: “Obama has been defending his patriotism ever since the beginning of the primary season, when he was first criticized for not wearing a flag pin – which he now does much more frequently – and when false rumors began circulating that he did not say the Pledge of Allegiance … A widely distributed photo also seemed to show him failing to place his and over his heart during a rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’”
We’ll wind up coverage of Mr. Obama’s defense on Thursday.
