39 and Holding

Barack Obama has insulted this proud old veterans intelligence with his remarks of July 3rd in a veterans town hall meeting in Fargo, N.D.

He has an impending trip planned to Iraq where he, and I quote, “I am going to do a thorough assessment when I’m there” and “ I’ll have more information and continue to refine my policy”.  

As a writer and political observer for over 50 years I will try to define these PC bites into straight talk.

I’m going to Iraq to get some publicity for my campaign and a bunch of pictures for my staff to use.

It’s this kind of talk that the average American voter views as “Talking down on me”, and bodes ill for the Democrats in November.

Mr. Obama, how dare you insult my intelligence with your verbal blatherings.

To follow up on this outburst, less than four hours later at a hastily called news conference he went on the defensive of his earlier remarks with, “Apparently I was not clear enough this morning”.

Well, Mr. Obama, you didn’t fool the press and you are not going to fool the Americans who read, listen and vote their conscience either, so stick to your slick willie style of verbosity and start looking for a day job.
