"i believe with all my heart that bush and his administration and fox news and limbaugh are traitors to our country and our planet and to life itself. but the cover is not an insult to obama. it's an insult to the TRUE evildoers....." It would be so if it was true what H.L. Mencken said: " you cannot go broke undersestimating the intelligence........"
A really satiric, and supportive cover, (and profound statement)would have been an illustration of Barack Obama standing proudly in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, looking mightily presidential,
and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill(We'll do it live!)O'Reilly, Fox 5, the present administration, and all the spawned garbage and rumors regarding Obama and his wife, floating in the fetid waters of Katrina. Now that would have been ennobling satire and funny. To me it comes across as unconscious racism; but see just because you work at the New Yorker does not mean you are that smart. As for those who read the "New Yorker" besides, beyond the "Talk of the Town" people only read the cartoons. Enough said. posted 07/17/2008 at 18:22:28

In a loaded world, where racism is the 800 pounds elephant, it is not funny, it is aggressive,
it is offensive, under the cloak of satire. "We can't come out and say what we think, let's chip away,
at this threat that is looming: an Obama presidency." It is not funny in Manhattan, Dubuque, or anywhere else.
The New Yorker, once a bastion of intellectualism, which cloaked its racist and elitist attitude, has once again revealed itself.
It is the Obama effect. We pretend racism is over; but
Obama's history shattering campaign, and tremendous ability, is sanitizing this country,
curing it of its prejudice, or making it rear its ugly hidden head. Enough said. posted 07/14/2008 at 05:19:47

It does not bode well for the Republic, that a man like this is still prominent,and well-respected:
"He's left his fingerprints on some of the worst economic debacles in U.S. history. He was a champion of energy deregulation, which gave us Enron and blackouts and price gouging. He was a champion of deregulating the savings-and-loan industry, the bailout of which cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. And his leadership on banking deregulation helped create the current sub-prime mortgage crisis.'

Yes, it has been manipulation all along; but we have to blame the Russians, hey they are the enemy,
and nobody is going to question it. Hunt Brothers, anyone?
"Silver Thursday"
Beginning in the early 1970s, Hunt and his brother William Herbert Hunt began accumulating large amounts of silver. By 1979, they had nearly cornered the global market.[5] In the last nine months of 1979, the brothers earned an estimated $2 billion to $4 billion in silver speculation, with estimated silver holdings of 100 million oz.[6]

During the Hunt brothers' accumulation of the precious metal, prices of silver futures contracts and silver bullion during 1979 and 1980 silver prices rose from $11 an ounce in September 1979 to $50 an ounce in January 1980. Silver prices ultimately collapsed to below $11 an ounce two months later.[1]

In 1989 in a settlement with the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Nelson Bunker Hunt was fined US$10 million and banned from trading in the commodity markets as a result of charges stemming from his attempt to corner the market in silver, leading to a commodity crash known as Silver Thursday.[1] This was in addition to a multimillion-dollar settlement to pay back taxes, fines and interest to the Internal Revenue Service for the same period.["-Frfom Wikipedia.

Senator Obama is not just another politician; he is a tremendous politician. So let's give him the benefit of the doubt. The filigrees, the church attending public, are a tremendous, silent majority, and they vote as their pastors tell them to. Although progressives, a million progressives, have supported Obama from the get go; and we look like a great majority, I will say this: there is more of the others. They are not as well read; they are not vocal, they don"t write on blogs. Yeah, they read, the Bible, but they get their news from their pastors" mouth, and they vote.
He needs to win first. Obama stated that:" change will not come unless the people demand it." Well, a million strong of us will demand it, everyday. Enough is enough-we will be there. There is just nobody left and this country will not elect the Kucinichs; or any other person that strikes them as radical, or even has a whiff of radicalism.

Senator Obama, please, say it is not so. We need you. Don't let us down.
What Ms Huffington writes is the truth. Remember when everybody was saying
you "must change"? I wrote to you " don\t change a thing; wear a flag pin if it makes them happy; it shows respect for people. You have inspired many of us, including me, to believe again".
The accusation of you being John Kerry may stick, if you turn into mush like he did. Voters like people with character and those who stand on their principles. You have had, up to now, the best brand to sell to us and we have been buying. Those that have not liked you already never will. Stick to being who you are. You are even starting to look a little different. You are really close; don't lose it now. It bears repeating:
"The Obama brand has always been about inspiration, a new kind of politics, the audacity of hope, and "change we can believe in." I like that brand. More importantly, voters -- especially unlikely voters -- like that brand."

"He set a high standard for himself because the Vietnamese tried to release him and he showed courage by refusing that to come about. ."
As Senator Obama states:
"John McCain should be commended for his service to our country."
McCain is to be commended and respected for his service; but General Clark made a clear distinction, which makes a lot of sense: " In what way does capture, and torture by the enemy, prepares one to be commander- in-chief?" No ranting and raving can explain that truth away.
It bears fact-checking, with non-English speaking Viet-Nam military people, of that era, whether it is true that John McCain was going to be released, on account that he was an admiral's son, and he refused.
This statement almost gives the lie to itself; as to why they would want to release him because he is an admiral's son; yet torture him like he just another soldier, nobody's son. Something in the statement regarding this episode of captivity does not add up.
Actually, I think putting yourself in the line of fire, to become a community organizer, shows a great deal of judgment, and the mettle and preparation to be Commander-in-Chief, as Barack Obama did, and as Barack Obama will be, when he is elected to be the next president of the United States.

Sexism:
"Is it responsible for the defeat? I really wouldn"t have the scientific knowledge, all of the information to know that." Remember how Hillary Clinton did not read the WMDs report and voted to authorize war, against Sadam Hussein, anyway? We always are sold our politicians as being above average, really hardworking, smart people.
Well, I don't have any scientific knowledge, and I know that more than sexism was involved in Hillary Clinton not being selected as the nominee. In fact, if sexism was involved it was in the part of certain voters, that instead of wanting quality, wanted a woman at all cost. Hillary Clinton was not a worthy candidate to represent the cause of women, and the desires of the American people for a new beginning. I doubt very much that someone who says "lobbyists are people too" can be a candidate of the people; or the candidate that we need to bring about change.
Nancy Pelosi somehow misses the boat all the time. I agree with the blogger that says "Nancy, it is not sexism that makes us not like you, and Harry Reid, it your cowardice and ineptitude."

I honestly think that there is no news value to this; but it is some sort of paid-under-the-table type
of commercial, to allure new buyers to the "wonder drug", that is pure drug and no wonder.
We are the heirs of Madison avenue-just as the candidates are sold-read "The Selling of the President" by T.H. White; they try to sell us everything by puffing it up and by placing it in family newspapers; and political blogs like this. It stirs interest, exactly what the sellers want; so we talk like this: "As your friend notes, it is about recovery. Pharm companies are desperately trying to come up with a medical explanation for the placebo effect of men who say it makes them last longer. If they could prove endurance, it would be all over those TV commercials. (not that some men don't last longer, but the reasons are placebo effect....they could do it without the pill)" But it is all a lie wrapped in the mantle of "news value". It is all lies and puffing.

You want to know what I think? I think the statement that "more young men are using Viagra"; is a publicist's work to generate millions of dollars, which its puffing generated when Viagra first came out.
Viagra is totally the opposite of what they advertise. Yes, it makes a man work, where it counts,
but because it is artificial, there is no gain in pleasure or anything else. Pleasure comes
out of the feeling of tenderness that another person awakens in us. If there is not tenderness
there is interest; unless you are 18-30, and to the person is a pure physical act.
If true that young men are using it; or are eager to use it, they are just wasting their time and money,
Additionally they are endangering their bodies because the Viagra side effects are not pretty. Blurred
vision; headaches, and who know what else. I think that by stating that young men are using it,
they hope to generate sales, that by now must sagging, pardon my pun, and at $10.00 a pop,(if that is still the price)if it works at least one time, to make the money, what do they care about repeat sales? They are also encouraging young men to break the law as Viagra can only be obtained by prescription, if a person suffers "erectile dysfunction."
As the old song used to say, instead of Viagra: "Try a little tenderness". Enough posted 06/18/2008 at 18:50:10

Mr hart,

This is a great idea! It will show that we are true patriots; that we love the country and its flag
as much as anyone else; not to mention what it will do for our apparel-the flag is really beautiful.
It will also confuse the opposition and stop them on their track on using the flag as a weapon.
I love the idea: "Go right out now and buy a pocketful of flag pins. Give them to all your friends. Show your support for America and for Obama. I've got mine on. It's our flag too!"
Not to mention either that it will do wonders for the economy. I am serious.

You don't ask that because the answer would be: Senator Barack Obama is a better candidate; has demonstrated better judgment, and he has more to offer

I would take that back if I was you. It was not Senator Barack Obama, in second place, offering the vice-presidential spot to the person in first place; it was not Senator Obama, hinting that the states that did not vote for him, do not count; it was not Senator Obama's camp denigrating and questioning the intelligence of those voting for Senator Obama. No one in Senator Obama's camp has even hinted that Senator Obama was Jesus Christ ("30 pieces of silver" James Carville did about Clinton). Those of us, in Senator Obama's camp, are not cultists, we see a man that loves America and puts himself on the line to prove it; and we see a man with tremendous qualities, not only to be "Commander-in-Chief" but to be among the great presidents we ever had.

Of course, of course, the press, showing that they are totally on Barack Obama's corner (they always ask him if needs "another pillow") they have to turn everything in favor of Senator Obama into a negative. Look, el Señor Richardson, has stated clearly, that he was voting his conscience when he stated that: "Barack Obama is a once in a lifetime leader". Pretty strong words, don't you think? By a man who looked at the candidates and weighed them in the scales of his soul, as most others must do, and will do, if they look at Senator Obama impartially.
We believe this is so, especially if one looks at the tactics of the Clintons, and their cohorts, who see their entitlement (the presidency of the United States of America) slipping away.
Yeah, Señor Richardson, we wanted you to endorse before Texas; but we are grateful and we follow your lead-an endorsement is an endorsement is an endorsement. James Carville,

There is a great deal of misconceptions regarding depression. It is seen as something negative and to be avoided at all costs. Depression is a necessary experience for a catharsis of the soul.
A person goes through life with certain expectations of whatever nature, based, we think mostly on lack knowledge of certain facts; or unrealistic expectation because of lack of experience; thus in turn being full of illusions in terms of reality and possibilities.
Eventually reality comes at the person like a freight train at fast speed; and that train is something we crash against like a hard wall. We are forced to look realistically at what is around us, and take stock of where we are; so depression arises first turned into anger; which turned inward becomes sadness, which turns into a dark swamp where we experience a sensation of pain and drowning that is almost unbearable. Thoughts of suicides then arise in the mind of many laboring under the feeling of being overwhelmed; many succumb, and wish to end it all, as Ms. Rawlings did. Some succeed. Those who make it through are better for the experience, if they survive it, and experience it with no drugs or electrical shocks, like Senator Tom Eagleton of Vice-presidential fame and George McGovern"s five minutes running mate, who dropped him due to the very situation of his being treated for depression. Appparently, either we did not know about depression, then; or were so afraid of it, we thought a person who suffered depression was crazy.
Abraham Lincoln went through many bouts of depression; depression seems to a requirement for development and growth as a whole person. Depression affects the mind in such a way that one's mental health may be threatened; but it is not a negative. It is actually a self-correction mechanism built in within our minds to adjust the mind to become acutely aware of circumstances and then to be able to go on from there. Note what Ms. Rowlings says about it: "I went through a really rough time and I am quite proud that I got out of that." Actually, when I decided to use this quote I thought she meant: "what I got out of that." But actually, by her own admission she got a lot out of it, and so do most of us. Enough said.
