Barack and Bill

A sign of a good President is someone who surrounds himself with good people, people often smarter and more knowledgeable than the President himself. Bush has valued personal loyalty over knowledge, politics over policy, and short-term gain over our long-term future. For Obama to be accused of setting up a cult of personality is simply not true – just listen to Bill Clinton explaining how Obama dealt with the current financial crisis:

Meanwhile, John McCain suspends his campaign, threatens to fire some people, and claims the fundamentals of the economy are still strong. Erratic and irresponsible and very dangerous for our country.

Republicans – Self-Centered and Ruthless

The latest GOP desperation tactic has a Republican woman claiming that she was attacked by a black man who carved a “B” on her cheek:

Later, she confessed that she had made up the entire event and cut herself. The “B” can be read by the person doing the carving, instead of being read by another person. This reminds me of an article last year saying that those who write as shown above are self-centered and ruthless, like the party Ashley Todd represents.

Haircuts

If the Republicans win this election, this is the kind of haircut taxpayers will be getting:

I prefer the Democratic haircut:

In reality, Supercuts is too expensive for me and I get my hair done by Jose the Mexican for $7

Republicans Admit to Illegal Voting Scheme

Since the Republicans don’t actually have an economic revival plan except to continue the discredited policy of the last eight years, they have resorted to slimy tactics, from slandering Barack Obama’s character to trying to disenfranchise homeless families in Michigan and other states. Today, the GOP actually admitted of their plans to deny people the vote – the evidence against them was bad enough that they decided to settle instead of dragging it through the courts past Election Day.
