Trump (and company), Osama and Obama

Hi everyone,

I want to lay out a masterful performance in the past week which clearly had the greater good in mind but also had a sweet taste of cold, cold revenge on a number of levels.

Last week, Donald "The Idiot" Trump, was running around demanding the President's birth certificate and scholastic transcripts and was actually getting airplay. Suddenly the universe shifted and how it shifted! First off, Obama's birth certificate has been available for years. The Registration of Live Birth, which I have a copy of on my laptop, is the official document of the state of Hawaii - that's what you get, that is the certified document. You got that, you are born in Hawaii. So Obama is born in Hawaii but, because he is black and the fact that there is a fat, stupid, failed real estate developer who wants to keep his reality show ratings up and has no intention or ability to run for POTUS, he must dispatch his personal lawyer to Honolulu to get special permission to show the long form document publicly.

Trump now on the defensive, claims he and his investigators, forced the President to reveal his long form document and then demand the President's scholastic transcripts while neither acknowledging the legitimacy of the birth certificate he is taking credit for producing nor keeping his promise to reveal his tax returns in exchange for the release of the long form document. He is a liar and a cheat who wants to change the rules on the fly and seems to feel that yelling "Excuse Me!" in interviews qualifies him to run the most powerful nation on the planet.

So now comes the trap. Step 1 - Obama mocks and I would say humiliates Trump at the Corespondents dinner on Saturday night. Trump looked bitter and mildly angry during the President's speech. I personally found very amusing the reference to Trump now investigating the fake Manned Lunar Landings, something which now puts him in the camp of the most extreme conspiracy nuts out there. With Trump, and by extension Bachman, Palin and to a lessor extent Mike Huckabee, who bought in to Trump's tirades, now marginalized, Obama, literally, moved in for the kill.

Osama bin Laden is a vile creature who has killed thousands by his direct actions and by indirect actions has probably killed several hundred thousand people. He is as deserving of death as any monster out there. President Obama made a very tough and high risk call to take him out, Tom Clancy style. No intelligence gathering required - a bullet in the brain, grab what you can and prove, indirectly the role of Pakistani intelligence in keeping him hidden. Good riddance! He is gone and the world is a better place. Don't need to see a picture. Don't care. He is done and will never hurt anyone again.

Back to "The Donald" - anyone talked about him, or Sarah, or Michelle, or Mike, since then? No, hmmm, didn't think so...

Well done, Mr. President - you are absolutely deserved of your title! With your legislative record to date, ability to negotiate and clear executive decision capability, you may very well go down as one of the great ones.

Hi blogerets,

It has been a while since my last post but here we go...

As any of you who are my facebook friends know, I am a card carrying Liberal. I have been, at various points in my life, a NDP supporter and a Conservative (Joe Clark RULES!!!!). I consider the Jean Chretien to be one of the greatest leaders we have ever had. To those who disagree with me, well, fair enough, but I would suggest that the Clarity Act and the elimination of the deficit make my case well. I would also suggest, as a right wing Liberal, that Bob Rae would have made an excellent successor to Jean - a bit of left to offset the necessity of the right. We got Paul Martin. I guess Jean had it right, Paul was not ready for prime time and the legacy of that is that the most successful political party in Canada is now at risk.

My thoughts on tonight's results:

• Any result which gives us the effective elimination of the Bloc Quebecous is intrinsically good and fair. There is significant evidence that Duceppe's recent relaunch of the discussions on separation, and so it should




• Any result which results in both the election of a single MP while showing reduction of support for the Green Party is good but not necessarily fair. While I am very pleased about Elizabeth May's victory in BC, overall support for the party is down across the country. The Green's are well minded but scientifically and solution deficient. Still, they represent a sizable percentage of Canadian public opinion and that should be reflected, fairly, in their place in parliament
  

I do not fear a Stephen Harper majority - I will probably benefit from it, personally. Still, I am very nervous when a Christian Fundamentalist is elected to a position of authority, let alone a position of power. Anyone who personally does not understand that we live in a universe governed by certain fundamental natural principals but instead views things as inexplicable and thus requiring supernatural explanation isn't capable of tying their own shoes, let alone governing a G8 country.

Move on Stephen. Do a couple of years then retire after a good win.
