Barack Gets A Beat-Down
For a guy who is on his way to the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama sure does show a alot of weaknesses. Hillary Clinton got 68% and thumped Obama by 41 points in West Virginia. It looks like Obamamania is running out of steam. Back in December, when Obama was the 'flavor of the week', I asked people who were going crazy for him, including my mother, what he stood for. All I heard from her and others was about how handsome he was, and how great his speeches were. No Democrat in a hundred years has won the presidency without carrying West Virginia, and Obama show great weakness here. He is also going hammered in Kentucky next week as well, since it has similar demographics as WV. As he limps towards the finish line, he looks more and more like Mike Dukakis, another notorious loser of 20 years past. This was noted by no less a person the Susan Estrich, Mike Dukakis" campaign manager!
Today, right before the Iowa Caucuses, I am announcing my pick for President of United States. I am proud to endorse former NYC Mayor Rudi Giuliani for President. As a conservative, I have looked carefully over all of the well-qualified GOP candidates for president, and Rudy impresses me most of all. More than anything else, I am a national security conservative, and I am thoroughly convinced that Rudy will defend this country with determination and vigor. He proved his metal by showing strong leadership during one of our nation's darkest hours, the 9-11 Attack on NYC's World Trade Center. He also showed strength and determination in fighting organized crime in NY as a US Attorney under President Ronald Reagan. We do have some differences in social issues, but he wisely promised to appoint conservative judges in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas. That's good enough for me. Other candidates, like Gov. Huckabee of Arkansas are stronger on moral issues, but go soft on law enforcement and illegal immigration. We would all sleep more soundly with Rudy Giuliani as president in these turbulent times.
