As Senator Obama rolls along winning more and more States it appears that Democratic voters have drank the cool aid of “hope.” While everyone hopes things will get better, its what you do after hope that counts and candidate Obama offers very little in the way of solutions. Still the cool aid flows and more and more people vote for Obama over Senator Clinton. Hope and niceness trumps fight and desire right now and unfortunately its exactly the wrong choice for Democrats.

Again and again we have heard that this is a pivotal election in American history. The damage done by Bush, from the Iraq war to the appointment of two conservative Supreme Court Justices, could continue for at least another four years with potentially two more Justices to be appointed if a Republican is elected President. Is this really the year we want to fuck around with hope instead of fighting like hell to win? This is the chance to turn back the neo-conservative black tide that has taken over our country and substituted fear for reason.

Senator Clinton may not be everyone’s favorite candidate, she isn’t mine. However, I am certain that Clinton will fight back against the Republicans like hell in November and then fight alongside a Democratically controlled Congress to reverse Bush’s damage. I am not so sure that Obama will fight. Its nice to say bi-partisan this and bi-partisan that, but until you are in control you have nothing.Fight first make friends later. Republicans have done nothing but run over the Democrats for eight years. It is time to turn the tide, fix the mess, then we can talk about playing nice

Obama’s world is a place everyone would like to live but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in right now. We need to fight any way necessary to win. As John Kerry learned four years ago, if you sit back and wimp out, the Republicans will slam you every time. Let’s not allow history to repeat itself.

The White House wants a $1.4 billion stimulus/national security package…for Mexico
A reader asked me to check into information that President Bush was pushing a massive foreign-aid package to Mexico to help them secure their southern border against the flow of illegal aliens from Central America.
“We can’t even get our own border straight, and we are going to provide Mexico with funding so they can solve their problem,” the reader fumed. “I doubt the Central Americans are staying very long in Mexico anyway. We know where they are going!”

Too outrageously outrageous to be true?

Well, I checked it out and it’s even worse than the reader described. Far worse.

Even as Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was blasting Sen. Barack Obama for his ties to the Exelon Corporation, Clinton’s chief strategist Mark Penn was earning hundreds of thousands of dollars through his firm from the very same nuclear energy giant.

This past week, Burson Marsteller, Penn’s powerhouse consulting agency, was paid more than $230,000 by Exelon to help renew a nuclear energy license in New Jersey, the Huffington Post has learned. The payment was for work that took place over several months, and Burson is still employed by the company.

“They did some work for us in New Jersey between June and November,” said Craig Nesbit, vice president of communications for Exelon Generation, a subsidiary. “That bill was invoiced on December 12 and it just took that long to pay these things… We still are paying them a little bit but it is ramping down.”

It has been public knowledge that Exelon is a client of Burson. But news of the recent payment comes less than two weeks after the Clinton campaign, and Penn himself, took Obama to task for what they implied was preferential treatment for the company.
