Obama You Sweet Thang
Yesterday Barack Obama visited a Chrysler automobile plant in Michigan. WXYZ-TV reporter Peggy Agar asked him what he planned to do to help American autoworkers. In his dismissive retort, Obama said: "Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail."
Sweetie? SWEETIE?
Yes. You heard right. Now you know why many women have chosen to stick with Hillary Clinton despite the overwhelming odds against her.
And even worse. Obama called Ms. Agar later and in his apology said, "That's a bad
habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no
disrespect...."
So calling "all kinds of people" sweetie is a habit. I presume all those "kinds of people" he's talking about are women. What's next for female reporters? Honey? Sugar? Sweet Thang?
In my ongoing effort to prove there's a country song (at least title) to comment on every human mess, here's an old duet featuring Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn entitled "Sweet Thang." The situation in the song is different of course but the phrase has a similar meaning as Obama's "sweetie." Can you imagine Michelle Obama singing it in response to her husband's habitual use of the word "sweetie" to address females? I can. In my opinion, Michelle seems to be one of those cast iron sweeties.

Whoa Sailor! Welcome Back Cookie One of my favorite humor blogs is the Cook Shack Gab and Grub which is run by a Vietnam era Seabee and conventional submarine sailor named Cookie. He had some diabetes problems last week and wasn't able to post. All of us regular visitors missed our daily dose of fun from the Cook Shack. But now I'm happy to say he's back with some great laughs and a good ornery political rant.
Here's a link to his great blog: THE COOK SHACK GAB AND GRUB He likes country music so I think he might get a kick out of this old Hank Thompson tune. Glad you're back Cookie.

Obama: The Great Pretender
Yesterday, after Hillary Clinton's overwhelming victory in the West Virginia primary, Adam Nagourney in the NY Times said,
Mr. Obama’s troubles in West Virginia with working-class voters were reminiscent of the troubles he had as he lost Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana to Mrs. Clinton....Winning over white working-class voters could prove to be one of the defining characteristics of his general election campaign. Nagourney reports that More than half of Democrats white working-class voters [indicated] Mr. Obama did not share their values, and 47 percent said they would not vote for him if he were their nominee.
According to the NYT, Mr. Obama’s advisers downplayed the West Virginia loss, describing the state as demographically unfriendly territory — the primary electorate was 95 percent white; 70 percent did not attend college — and pointing to national polls showing him in a strong position
But his advisers are aware that there is a problem. How do they plan to have Obama deal with it? He's moving outside the cocoon-like security of elitist academic and affluent venues where everyone loves him. Nagourney says the candidate has scheduled campaign events with working class audiences. And he has taken to wearing an American flag pin on his lapel and sprinkling his speeches with references to God and country, gestures to reassure Democratic voters about his values.
So. the Harvard educated Obama, who made a big deal about a different kind of patriotism (the kind that he prefers) which didn't involve tradional symbols, is going to embrace those symbols and put on the mask of the Ordinary American Guy. For this particular audience, he will pretend those symbols are meaningful.
I suppose he thinks these ordinary citizens, uneducated and mainly white, won't be able to see through his pretense. This is, to use one of his favorite words, audacious. And, to use one of my favorite words when describing liberals, it's also condescending. In the Platters 50's hit, "The Great Pretender," the singer says, "I seem to be, something I'm not, you see." Great line. Perfect fit for Obama.
UPDATE: Obama's problem with working class white voters is the subject of a two very interesting posts on both Born Again Redneck and Right Wing Nation. The subject is the Jacksonian political culture vs. the Cosmopolitan political culture. Check out these great posts.

Hillary for Veep? Pick Me up on Your Way Down...
An ABC News story says that 39% of Democrats want Hillary as Obama's Veep. Some call this a super ticket. I have serious doubts. She and her husband have been on the attack lately and perhaps the cuts have been too deep for Obama. But would he select her anyway? It would certainly put a unified face on the party. There have been stranger political marriages--JFK and LBJ come to mind.
If Hillary really wants to be the Veep, she'll have to change her tune and fast. I suggest the old Patsy Cline country standard, "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down." In my view, one of the early lines seems especially appropriate as applied to Obama: "You'll find your ladder of success is not on solid ground."

Hillary, My Melancholy Baby
Unfortunately for Hillary and the Democratic party, her numbers don't add up. She may win West Virginia and Kentucky by big margins, but she can't win the overall delegate tally. Obama's already taking on McCain and the party's trying to move on. She's probably very melancholy now. And my guess is Bill's not a lot of help. So, here's a little Redbone--just for Hillary.
BUY YOUR COPY OF LIBERALSTEIN NOW!
Once in a lifetime, you may experience a political epiphany, a perception altering revelation that changes the way you look at the world. It could be an experience. Or possibly someone you meet. But more than likely, it will be a book you read.
May I humbly suggest that LIBERALSTEIN is such a book? And when you finish reading it, you'll think, THIS IS IT, this is what I've been looking for all my political life. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll quite possibly put on strange clothing and go into the streets to tell everyone the political secrets you now possess. You'll be like a Neo Ancient Mariner. With joy instead of guilt. Before your LIBERALSTEIN awakening, you were shut off from a whole world of conservative political knowledge and power. But not anymore. Not after you read LIBERALSTEIN! And you'll want to share it with everyone.
Click on one of the online booksellers below to get your copy today.
WARNING
LIBERALSTEIN is a mind altering book and may possibly damage relationships when read by a liberal couple together. You and/or your partner may experience a severe hardening of your negative attitudes toward liberal values or leaders. The scientific name for this condition is maximus liberalwuss ejectus, and it lasts a lot longer than four hours. In most cases, the change is permanent. So, if you or your partner experience any of the following first signs of this not uncommon reaction, please continue reading without stopping until you finish the entire book:
An insatiable desire to watch Fox News An almost sexual impulse to punch MSNBC's Keith Olbermann in the face A violent urge to choke CNN's Jack Cafferty An epiphany which provides full understanding of why we must win in Iraq An inexplicable emotional affection for George W. Bush Should only one of you experience maximus liberalwuss ejectus, contact a conservative pundit at once. I recommend Bill Kristol, Thomas Sowell, or Laura Ingraham.
I was a Thompson supporter and then a Romney supporter. Now I'm with Mac. McCain that is. He's a hero. He's a Republican. He's three years older than me! Fred and Mitt endorsed him. And he has a lifetime 82% rating from the American Conservative Union. Plus, I don't like those PC's (pun intended) on the other side. Don't like them at all. Obama has an 8% ACU rating and Hillary a 9%. So come on.
Get your ass in the limo. Vote for McCain in 2008!
GET A MAC! McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT
