I’m glad Obama beat Clinton in Iowa
January 5th, 2008I’ve been following both the Democrat and Republican primaries closely. No, I’m neither a Democrat nor Republican. In fact, there’s too much I dislike about both of those parties. I still follow them, because most likely, we’ll have one or the other.
For the Democrats, I’ll gladly favor Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Obama is a uniter, Clinton is a divider.
There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.
-Barack Obama (2004)
This is exactly what I want to hear. I’m tired of hearing politicians mention race and I’m tired of hearing Newspeak and Time magazine telling us over and over that Barack Obama is black and Hillary Clinton is a woman. You think I can’t tell that myself? Screw you, Newspeak and Time! My subscriptions have been canceled by the way.
Hillary Clinton recently implied Lou Dobbs was racist. Lou Dobbs happens to be one of my heroes. He stands up for the American working man and woman. He fully realizes that the rich and the big corporations use illegal aliens to undercut the working class. You don’t have to pay illegal aliens benefits, nor do you have to follow safety standards.
If one dies working, bury him (or her) and get another. Hillary Clinton, being in the Upper Class (”New Rich” technically), benefits from that. Lou Dobbs and Barack Obama are aware of this and are both willing to discuss it.
The other great thing Dobbs does is he talks the truth about outsourcing. I’ve heard first hand people in my profession say how great outsourcing is, until they find their own job outsourced, their savings depleted, and their credit card debt going from null to big $$$. Then suddenly, they’re against outsourcing. So of course it’s all good until it happens to them.
Barack Obama’s Iowa Caucus speech specifically mentions outsourcing:
I’ll be a president who ends the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle-class tax cut into the pockets of working Americans who deserve it.
Thank you Mr. Obama. I hope you win the Democratic nomination. Ideally, I’d love to see Ron Paul vs Barack Obama, two people I can actually stomach. If it’s John McCain vs Hillary Clinton, I’m going to be sick.
