OK -- WHO SAID WHAT? -- Just a Minute for Monday 10-06-08

Howdy again on a Monday!

 

Been a glorious weekend hasn’t it, weatherwise. More of “October’s bright blue weather.” And looks like this is going to be a glorious fall to make up for the miserable summer we endured in the hot and dry.  Now maybe the fall gardens will get going good.

 

The political campaigners are certainly doing their best to make sure we have plenty of verbal (at least) fertilizer on hand… they even have so much they are throwing it at one another. But that’s normal I’m afraid – well every four or eight years. Let’s hope the financial world takes a clue from October’s bright blue weather and decides to favor us with some clear and calm sailing in this part of the year.

 

This has been a LONG campaign… I’ve seldom heard political junkies … news people … complain about long campaigns… it gives them stuff to write about – for which they get paid. But it’s been different this year. The guys and gals assigned to follow the candidates about and listen to the same stump speeches day after day get battle weary – as do the staffers… and this one has been going on for nearly two full years. It’s certainly time to call a halt.

 

Well… the calendar says only 29 more days – and we can go back to the usual news boredom. Praise the Lord!

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

OK, WHO SAID WHAT?

Just A Minute – Yesterday, Senator Obama devoutly wished Senator McCain would quit talking about Bill Ayers – his “Weather Underground” bomber buddy -- who placed bombs in the Pentagon when Obama was only two. Ayers is the guy who bragged about his Pentagon misdeeds: “I only regret we didn’t do more.” All Obama says is: “He’s a guy who lives in my neighborhood – but we don’t swap ideas.” What Obama didn’t say is he worked with Ayers through his late 30’s and only resigned from the board they formed together in 2001 -- when Barack was 40.

Obama’s mudball, on the other hand, describes McCain as in the middle of the S&L scandal dubbed the “Keating Five.” Which Senator McCain admits, and says that episode was: (quote) “… the worst mistake I ever made in the Senate – to go to that meeting.” (unquote) -- He admitted his mistake and apologized for his bad judgment and has become a leader in fiscal reform.

Now, which of the two would you be willing to trust with the Presidency?
