The Pictures Tell the Story

So, in the early days of Obama-mania, I asked the question, "What IS a 'community organizer'?" Sounds fairly nebulous...



Since Obama quoted his accomplishments as a community organizer and a state senator, I eagerly awaited a 'flagrant act of journalism' (Charlie Sykes) from the media to provide an explanation. Heh. Still. Waiting.



Check out this excellent set of posts from Doug Ross, who did some research into the truth about the housing projects of which Barack is so proud.



Also, check out this post which gives you even more background on BHO.



Wouldn't it be great if we could read this kind of stuff in the New York Times or Washington Post (or even the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)?

A friend of mine turned me on to this blog by Michael Yon. Michael has reported what is going on in Iraq through firsthand knowledge and is planning to travel to Afghanistan to do the same.

I found his postings very interesting and thought I would pass them along.

Too many times, the politics surrounding the war have created a polarization that does not lead to creative problem-solving. We all need to agree that the war on terrorism is real and is worth winning and is different than any war we have fought before.

Thanks, John. Sorry it took so long to get around to this.

Obama Explains it All

So, the Obama campaign theme "we are the ones we've been waiting for" is starting to make sense. We actually hold the keys to solving all of OUR OWN problems.

So....

If we just would all learn to speak Spanish (and French), we can solve all of our immigration problems.

If we just would talk to Ahmadinejad, we can solve all of our terrorism problems.

If we would just stop driving SUVs and turn our thermostats down, the rest of the world would stop hating us.

And today, we discover that if we would all just inflate our tires properly, we could solve our energy problems.

Here's a link to his comments.

Thank heavens Obama has been sent to us to explain it all!

P.S. One problem with the new energy policy. To quote Michelle Obama, "of course as a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station." Perhaps the Obamas will have to inflate their own tires at home.

See Powerline for a shot at the calculation of potential energy savings from properly inflated tires.
