With the results of the Iowa caucuses in, we have Barack Obama sprinting to the front of the Democratic race and Mike Huckabee leading the Republican runners.
So we have found out who the participants in the first Presidential delegate selection state think is important and this has allowed ABC to eliminate candidates, narrowing the field to four Democrats and six Republicans, demonstrating media selectivity and paving the way for a focus on the issues that are going to be emphasized during the actual campaign. Of course, Dennis Kucinich, speaking up for so-called minorities, including minorities of one, is protesting this, from his point of view, arbitrary and capricious selectivity. I say HOORAY for media and political free speech.
Don’t forget the economy is not in good shape. Paying for imports is a problem. The sub-prime crisis is a problem. Terrorism is a problem. The dollar is getting cheaper and energy prices continue to rise. Illegal immigration has not gone away.
I am sure you are going to say that this is all very interesting but where are you going with this?
Well, I can honestly say that besides being outspoken, since I hope I have made it clear that I believe I have something to say, I also have serious political problems with the gang in Washington. Despite having received political promises in the past from the likes of Charles Rangel, who has been in Washington for what appears to be forever, at the very least, ever since he single handedly defeated Adam Clayton Powell, of come back to Congress on a real protest vote fame, on the alleged notion that he supported doing something that I favored about energy, whatever that was, which presumably was better than doing nothing, yet nothing has been done.
So I want to raise the issue. When are things going to change? Bill Clinton also made promises. Hillary was somewhere in the White House. Maybe not the Map Room or the Lincoln Bedroom. But she was there for eight long years and now she has been a Senator from New York for seven years. So I feel forced to say, “Now, Hillary, NOW.” Some of the other candidates I am willing to ask, “When?” But Hillary gets a “Now. Right Now.” “Immediately, if not sooner.” And if that is not good enough, “Yesterday came and went without anything being done.”
If Mitt Romney wants to give me free business advice, let me say I am ready. “Now.”
I can use the money. I have bills to pay. Free insurance covered medical care is nice but they treat paying customers much better, let me tell you.
I continue to proudly assert my support for Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee, since the democratic system allows choice. You go guys. I also continue to ask if John Edwards money is safe. Did he tuck it in the mattress or under the rug or perhaps he stuffed it in a hole in the wall. Of course, banks pay interest and investing pays even better, if you can avoid the risks. But that takes investing acumen.
Again, to make sure my point comes across Obama and Huckabee, you go guys.
