I have to say i think your a wonderful speaker. My favorite actually on CNN. I just don't agree with you on the Jewish vote in Florida.
Let's get one thing straight and on the record. Obama is not a friend of Isreal, and he will not carry the jewish vote. That's a fact.
Second, I agree with you that Sarah Palin is not a perfect match for John McCain, I would have chosen Mit Romney, but are the personal attacks against her necessary?

Jackie Mason: "They talk about how much money McCain is raising versus Obama. Its a pittance compared to the huge amount of press publicity he gets. He's a fraud. Like this pastor thing [Obama's former outspoken pastor Jeremiah Wright]. First thing he says this guy is his mentor, his teacher his philosopher, I learned everything for him. Then they ask, did you ever listen to him? Never. I was in the church but I never heard him. He was talking, but I didn't know I should be listening. And besides, whatever he said he didn't say it on the days that I was there. He said it on Tuesday. I came on Thursdays. Then when he saw his polls started to go down a little he said: he was always my mentor but he wasn't a close mentor. I saw him, but not very often. I heard him, but only maybe once in a while. Then he said: I never even liked him. I never got involved with him. Then he said: whatever he said was disgusting to me and if I knew he was saying these things, I would have hated him a long time ago. And he sounded like he just found out about him 20 years later when he wasn't in the church. He was in the church 20 years, and he never heard anything. Now that he's out of the church for a year, he suddenly found out what he said in church when he wasn't actually there."

DOES RACE TRUMP THE ECONOMY?
Apparently "The Heartland of America" believes it and McCain is confident that if he gets the discussion back to Obama's skin color, he can win. McCain is working hard at turning the Obama discussion back to "We don't really know him" which code translates to "DON'T FORGET HE'S BLACK."
It has to be our hope that ones pocket book, the recession, gas prices, lost mortgages, lost jobs, lost retirements and the $700B deficit economy would outweigh the issue of race. The sad part is that the issue of race may be more deeply entrenched than we realize. When race trumps people's bank account, it's a sad state of affairs in the USA.
What's unsaid on the race issue: Although the discussion about the debate was on Chess Queen Sarah Pallin, Joe Biden was the real victor in the debate. We don't talk about race much in this country but if the minds of men could speak, this is what we would hear from majority voters: "I feel more comfortable now in voting for Obama with Biden at his side based on his performance at the debate." Biden delivers the vote and wins the minds of men.
The OCTOBER SURPRISE: WILL RACE TRUMP THE ECONOMY?
Obama's unprecedented rise to power IS Divine Providence. No weapon formed against him shall prosper, it won't work.

Myth of TX 1:27PM October 05, 2008

Phoenician Lady of AZ says ....One of those might be just the willingness to take on the thankless job of trying to straighten out our country and restore its future, when half of the citizens hate and vilify you every day..... It would help Obama if he would have any true acomplishments in his life on which we could base our faith and support for him to fix the economy. Instead his philosophy seems to be: Call me if you need me. If you fix, I will take the credit, if we screw up, the Republicans and others will get the blame. As for Gloria Borger's piece: she is a registered Democrat. So expecting some objectivity from her is like praying for rain in Timbuktu.

Frederik 11:50AM October 02, 2008

Gloria Borger's usual unabridged bias runs through her article like the horrible disease that liberalism is - a disease that sucks the truth and reality out of the "progressive" brain. Recently, liberals have resorted to compulsive lying as the cornerstone of their philosophy.
How conveniently Ms. Borger forgets (ha, ha) that John McCain called for reform of these troubled financial institutions in 2006. The record is clear, and it's in writing. Where is such evidence of Obama's foresight? Answer: It doesn't exist.
I could write a book about the stupidity displayed by her page of writing, but I'd rather involve myself with more challenging tasks, like trying to find one single accomplishment of The Great Barack. No one with any understanding of economics agrees with Ms. Borger's statements that "Obama... has always called for more oversight of financial institutions" or that Obama won't raise taxes for most Americans.
When it comes to rolling up his sleeves and getting a job done, Obama only talks – with his usual flair for the obvious – staying as far away from decision making as possible. Ms. Borger's contention that McCain follows his lead is laughable – displaying the disease that is sucking reality out of her now near empty skull. How does this woman have a job as a journalist? Holy cow, now I'm being stupid... of course, she works in the mainstream media.
Incidentally, it is also a matter of record now that Bill Clinton has openly admitted that the Democrats in Congress resisted efforts from him and the Congressional Republicans to tighten up standards on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
By the way, has anyone come up with just one of Obama's accomplishments yet? No, I didn't think so.

PART II. How Great Wall of China can be used to defend against failing Wall Street & its ideology?
By. Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment
(1) The Chinese government should nationalized or expel freign companies such as Walmart. The business and employment practice of those companies must be frown upon by the Chinese government and people. The products & services of some of those companies must be boycotted by Chinese.
(2) All non-Chinese foreigners must be restricted or expelled from China because they are false indoctrinating the Chinese people. The main purpose of those foreigners were to mislead Chinese to prevent them from success and getting wealthy. Many foreigner are trying to create Chinese minorities uprising such as Tibetans to destabilized the government and take advantage of their crisis. Others are simply spies from other nations. Yet many simply trying to take away the already limited jobs from hardworking Chinese.
(3) The Chinese government must now redeem their enormous holding of U. S. Treasury Bonds and Bills because the American dollars are falling very quickly against the yuan due to inflation and economic downturn in the United States. The alternate investment for the government should be valuable and collectable items such as gold/silver coins, precious metal ingots, old currencies, antiques, historical objects & documents, books, postage stamps, designer jewelry, and furniture. Most importantly hire highly intelligent people with special talent and abilities. After cataloging and arranging those collectable items the government can then auction & sell them to the Chinese people to generate cash for more purchases.
(4) The Chinese economy should begin to slow down gradually without causing drastic downturns. Their exports should be concentrated on newly developed Asian, Australian, European and South American countries. Especially those petroleum, metal and other natural resources producing nations such as Russia. Chinese should avoid doing business or depending economically on the United States.
(5) The Chinese government should devote most of its money and resources in educating their people. The world’s most intelligent scientists & teachers in the world must be seek out, to become professors and teachers in universities & local schools.
(6) China should now demand foreign countries to return all archaeological, antiques & other valuable items which were stolen or acquired illegal/unfairly from China especially those before Liberation. Cash and gold/silver that were paid by Chinese during the nineteenth & early illegal & unequal treaties during twentieth century must be repaid back to China with interest.
(7) Environment Conservation. Since there are little wilderness or natural resources left in China and the world. China should again slow down its industries & construction of manufacturing facilities. Wildlife and plants must be strictly protected turned into Chinese national parks.

PART I. Economic Situation In the U. S. A.
The Wall Street is currently continuing its drastic collapse and there is no light can be seen at this tunnel to Hell. Much of the U. S. economic problems are related to their current election. The economy of China is currently also at risk since China is very dependent on goods to beexported to the United States. The following are my perspective to the the current economic situation Worldwide. My main purpose is to isolate China from this crisis rather than solving our World’s economic problems.
(1) The current stock market collapse may be artificial which was cause by Blacks who want to create sight of economic downturn to force Americans to elect Barack Obama for a solution of their problems. Small investment groups of minorities could short sale in the stock market to bring about drastic Wall Street collapse.
(2) The U. S. housing could be caused by Black who might have relocated to other states and live with relatives and friends to generate favorable electoral environment and vote counts according to percentages of state population. This is to help Obama in their election. So there is a possibility that the housing crisis could be resolved after the election.
(3) The housing crisis was cause by the White people also for favorable election outcomes in a particular state. This is similar to situation number (2). In general, the American political system is now proven to be a great failure which has and will continue to affect the well being of Worldwide economy for long term. Whenever there is a election, one side always need to create economic downturn to blame on the incumbent government. Also, a change of governing party will create instability and insecurity to invite terrorist attacks such as the September 11, 2001 disaster. The U. S. should adopted new form of political system and learn from the Chinese before it is too late. Communism Chinese style is the best form of political system.
(4) On the other hand, the American economic crisis could be real and there will be no solutions in sight and the Great Depression II is imminent. So Environment help us!

The Most Complete Political Incorrect Political Analysis Of Sarah Palin.
By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.
Since Palin is from the West, those battle ground states such as Alaska, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington State can be won more easily by Republicans. There is also potentials for a California victory which will definitely be decisive on the whole election. Obama was born in Hawaii, Obama's defeat there will be his greatest humiliation. Alaska is one of the biggest oil producing state. When oil drilling is the number one issue in this election, being a govenor of Alaska will certainly help. Alaska is also the last remaining wilderness of the U. S. A. It will be a good opportunity for the Republican to show their concerns of the Environment by using her. Palin is a woman therefore will attract women voters. She is young, very pretty with great sex appeal to straight men and lesbian women also. Her pregnant teenage daughter will draw sympathy from those who were teenage unwed mothers and pro-life anti-abortion voters. Single mothers will also be attracted to the Republican Party. She represents traditional White families of Puritan values as opposed to those predominately single parent unwed mother type Black families. Neither McCain nor Palin are political correct. They only speak the truth and are very "genuine, what you see is what you get!" as quoted from the Alaskan Republican Convention delegates. She represents White people who have been displaced from the lower 48 states due to crimes and harassment from Blacks there. Those White people have little or no choice but to seek Northern Exposure living in Alaska for peace and quiet. They will certainly revenge Black intimidation and harassment. McCain's situations is quite similar. After the Civil War, the U. S. was destabilized by its Black minority. The only way to unite this country was to destabilize other nations and the world. To achieve that goal, the U. S. had to invade other countries such as Vietnam. McCain was a pawn and victim of such U. S. aggression. He certainly will blame African American for that. Palin was the military commander of the Alaskan Air National Guard which are useful experience for a future Commander-in-Chief of this country because Alaska is bordering Russia and near China and Japan with one fourth of all U. S. nuclear missiles located in that state. McCain who was also a professional soldier himself will feel comfortable working with Palin. Among both Republican and Democratic Party tickets Palin is the only one with executive and administrative experience . All other candidates McCain, Obama and Biden have only legislative experience.

John McCain's Naval Academy.
By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.
An important presidential election record will be broken this year, it is not the first time that a woman or Black person will be elected to the Executive office. We will be witnessing a great American tragedy unfold right before our eyes. It is one of the rare occasions when a native son will not be elected by his own state. To make it worse, such native son is the greatest hero in an area which has always been the pride and joy of that state. orrect me if I am wrong! I have hardly heard any one at the Republican Convention or during their campaign mentioned the Annapolis Naval Academy, not even McCain himself. Being born in Panama to a naval family and travel all over this country and the world, McCain really does not have a true home. Arizona is a states he used for election to Congress which he has not visited frequently. The Navy Academy is the only place McCain can really call his home in which he had spent the happiest time of his college life with his navy friends. Maryland should welcome her naval native son with open arms and elect him as president.
Unfortunately, Maryland have 1.6 million Black or approximately 30 % of the state's population or making it the "Black Capital" near of the real U. S. Capital. It was 36 % to 61% (almost double) in favor of Obama over Hillary during the primary there. All media and people there have expressed the sad fact that little or no Marylanders will vote for McCain. I personally don't like McCain very much but my conscience forced me to campaign for him. This episode is not only the greatest disgrace of all Americans but also of that of the human race. It is an unforgivable sin committed by all Marylanders and her Black racists. I suggest the Government relocates its Naval Academy out of Maryland. Arizona is probably not a good location because it is a desert and has no water for the navy people. McCain should decide where it is going to move to depending on whether that state has voted for him. This time, the true and only battle ground states (Armageddon) are not Ohio, Florida or Michigan but Maryland. The decision is not who is going to become president? But whether God had made a mistake in creating man?
As usual with this letter I, as Prophet of Environment, have ended this election right here and now. People, advertisement and media don't bother to comment on the election again. It will a waste of our time.

Obama looked far less presidential when standing up to the much more experienced Senator John McCain. The analysis following the debate by members of the media was sickening and totally biased. Anyone watching would have had to feel much more confidence in the image that Senator McCain presented than in the image of the black man-child who has spent less than 150 days as a senator who simply does not come across as presidential. If anyone walks away from this first debate thinking they still want Obama as president of the United Staes of America are truely nuts in the head. His inexperience is so obvious, his totally wrong thinking so blatant, and, in light of the current economic situation, his economic and spending plan so out of wack, it is pitiful to see this man as one of the candidates. May God save us from such a nut case.
