Michelle Obama's Speech Was Filled With Distortions and Misrepresentations

In her speech to the Democratic Convention this week, Michelle Obama described herself and her husband as Americans who believed in American values and the American dream, even though they came from a financially disadvantaged background.

Karen McQuillan, writing for the American Spectator, dissects her speech and highlights its many falsehoods and misrepresentations.  Read it here.

Signs Point to a Coming Democrat Defeat in November

Four years ago I stated that my intuition is often accurate, and that it was telling me that Obama would win the 2008 presidential election.  It came to me in a flash and was very strong, as if an accomplished fact had been revealed to me.  On October 3rd, 2008, I wrote:

My intuition is often very accurate. This morning when I woke up, I had a strong feeling of certitude that we Republicans are going to lose this [2008] election and that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. It wasn’t a panicky feeling or a worried feeling or a feeling of fear, it was a calm realization, an inner knowing. It told me in a quiet but clear voice that the election is lost. The inner voice presented it to me as a done deal.

Today my intuition is not as clear as it was then, but it is somewhat positive and hopeful.  My feeling is that Obama will lose the 2012 election.

The signs are continuously pointing to an Obama defeat in November this year.  Stacy McCain and Alli Akbar are onsite at the DNC in Charlotte, and report that the crowds are smaller, the media filing center smaller, the vendors fewer, compared to the GOP Convention last week.  Obama has moved his great speech on Thursday from a huge stadium of 73,778 seats to an indoor auditorium of only 20,200 seats.  Ostensibly the reason is because of the fear of lightning, but weather reports show good weather for Thursday.  The obvious reason is because Obama simply cannot draw the same huge crowds that he drew in 2008.

Registered Republicans are at an all time high and seem very motivated to get out the vote.  Democrats, on the other hand, seem lackluster and unenthusiastic.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are raising much more money than Obama is, and Obama has resorted to various tricks to increase campaign contributions.  In 2008, the Obama campaign was afloat in cash; now he is asking for donations as low as $3, and for married couples to ask for donations for him rather than accept presents from those attending the weddings.  The lack of financial support from the left indicates dissatisfaction and disillusion with Barack Obama.

The polls show a dead heat, but I don't trust the polls.  They showed Bush behind right up to the election in 2004, where he won by a strong margin.  Also, now that Mitt's the official Republican candidate, he can begin spending his huge war chest on anti-Obama and pro-Romney political ads.

Then there is the Democrat Convention itself.  I watched it last night and found the arguments so weak that I didn't feel upset, challenged or fearful.  Mostly I just felt bored.  Even Michelle Obama's supposedly sizzling speech left me cold.  She loves her husband; he cares so much about everything and everybody; he's the new Gandhi.  Yawn.

Michelle Obama Goes Green for Halloween

I did this Photoshop a year ago and it still gets a lot of google hits.  I think liberals out there in cyber space think it is an article about Michelle doing something environmentally fashionable for Halloween -- I don't know, maybe issuing candy with biodegradable wrappers or developing solar-powered brooms for witches, or whatever makes liberals feel good about themselves on Halloween.

In any case, here it is again.

Stogie Photoshop: Michelle Obama Goes Green for Halloween

I saw this cover of Newsweek with Michelle Obama featured on the front; it was titled "The Real Michelle Obama." You can see the original Newsweek issue here.

Anyway, I had my own ideas about "the real Michelle Obama" and she is featured in this special Stogie edition of Newsweek for Halloween, 2008. Enjoy and use it on your blog or website as you see fit.

I like that cat. He is one pissed-off feline. Chill Kitty, I know the feeling. Here, have a cigar.
