This is that 'bad day' every year when Americans are reminded how
costly "what government does" can be. Those being pressed by home
mortgages without fixed interest rates; or depressed home values--
because of the exodus of the unemployed--especially, have reasons to
feel unhappy.

It has been said: "Misery likes company." A recent poll shows that
81% of American adults are unhappy with the present direction our
country is headed. Should that datum be a cause for us to feel
depression, or to feel hope? Actually, it is one of the most positive
things to ever happen to this country! You ask: How could that be?
"Well..."--as President Reagan liked to begin salient comments by saying--
when Americans are united for a good cause, there is no force on Earth
that can lessen their resolve!

Horrific WW II happens to have been: "The greatest concerted effort in
the history of mankind!" Americans were rightly incensed when our
international friends and allies were invaded. And such was being
perpetrated by a proud, but economically depressed, German people.
Adolph Hitler happens to have been the wrong "artist", at the right
time, with the wrong solution. Even so, he managed to foment the
German masses, because of his exceptional oratory ability.

Barack Obama is acknowledged to have exceptional oratory ability.
Most shy Americans trembled-through their deliveries of oral book
reports in school. So, they consider a speaker... masterful, if he or
she can get through a speech without showing stage fright. Obama has
never shown the emotion of freight--nor any other normal emotion--in his
tone of delivery, or in the expressiveness of his voice. That seems
strange; very strange.

Graphology has been my serious hobby since before I was a teen. I've
been a keen observer of the diverse personalities of those I see
writing. And because I, also, have a knowledge of people in general,
I have a basis for making generalities.

Barack Obama had an unhappy childhood. And he's using such fact to
try to counter his just-now-being-recognized elitism. He claims that
he can identity with the discontented voters to whom he appeals. And
he says he can do so because he was once poor, himself. The Clintons'
tax documents show the obvious fruits of their successes--not their
failures. I ask you: Who is better qualified to lead this country
toward success: A person who likes to brag that he hasn't always been
successful; or the person who has for most of their life been
successful?

The most recent icon of the Democratic Party was certainly JFK. His
family was very rich, yet he was a Democrat--concerned with the lives
of those who are disadvantaged. Many of the richest people in the
world used their wealth to build universities, hospitals, research
centers, or to make grants beneficial to those less fortunate.
America must never stymie an individual's opportunity for economic
attainment, that is... if such attainment has been fairly and honorably
achieved.

Both Clinton and Obama are pressing the objective of improving the lot
of those in the middle class. Every four years, "the rich" in this
country are targeted as being too favored in the tax laws. Since
there are more people of average income, than there are in the high
ranges, it makes good political sense to appeal to: Where the most
voters are. But is such a class-against-class battle what is best for
the future of America? No way!

If and when our systems of government can become like well-oiled
machines, there are optimum objectives that should improve everyone's
opportunities, fairly. Socialism certainly isn't "fair"--because it
depresses free markets (discourages attainment) and rewards those who
won't lift a finger to better themselves. But "socialized medicine"
may be the right thing, if it is agreed that having good medical care
for all Americans is a desirable thing.

A sad characterization of "the American way" in business is: "Find
something that people want or need; then, over-charge them for it."
People certainly need health care when they're sick. But are those in
the health care system deserving of more rewards for their 40 hours,
than those in, say, manufacturing?

Too often, NAFTA gets a bum rap for exporting American jobs to
Mexico. When items are being purchased in the stores, all Americans
benefit from having low prices. But when American wages get high
enough to depress sales due to high prices, businesses begin
outsourcing jobs to remain competitive. The failures, there, are that
those same companies didn't educate their workers, and didn't
modernize their facilities to be more productive. By aiming for a
cheaper work force, too many industries have simply side-stepped their
poor business management. Sadly, and too often, industries feel no
compassion for their loyal workers who did the jobs that they were
asked to do.

In the 'rust belt' states, those without jobs make appealing audiences
to politicians pushing for change. Certainly, the loss of this
country's manufacturing base has reached dire levels. Too often,
smiling politician--like NC Governor Mike Easley--tout education as a
"guarantee" of economic success in life. But there aren't enough of
those college graduates willing to "work" for a living--as in
manufacturing something useful.

My having disproved Einstein's theories has been my 'window' into this
country's failures in higher education; in government; and certainly
in our "trusted" news media. But no failure is greater than was the
suppression of democracy so evident in the 2000 presidential
election. If Bush hadn't been so elected, he wouldn't have gotten a
second shot at being President in 2004.

It's a terrible thing to think that Barack Obama places more
importance on "the delegate count" than on the popular vote. And he
places more importance on the UNCONSTITUTIONAL rules of the Democratic
National Committee--regarding the primaries in Florida and in Michigan--
than he places on democracy itself. If Obama manages to get elected...
President... that will mean that twelve to sixteen years of our
country's "rule" will have been based on a level of corruption
tantamount to treason.

Everyday, a new cockroach comes out of the woodwork to endorse Obama.
Pennsylvania's Senator Bob Casey has revealed himself to be worthy of
ouster from America. As has: Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson, and
Screaming Howard Dean. But the futures of those men is more in doubt
following Sunday's CNN "debate" between Clinton and Obama on "faith".

Obama's first question invited him to explain his recent remarks that
have been viewed as so unfavorable to those disadvantaged ones in "the
small towns" of PA. The actual audio recording of those statements
reveals that Obama paused as if searching for the words he would say.
Clearly, he was talking off-the-cuff. And such a candid statement is
more revealing of what is going on in his head than any oft-repeated
campaign speech.

The media supporting Obama keyed on the word "bitter"--as if that word
was, perhaps, an unfair characterization of those living in small
towns. But the word "cling" is the far more hurtful word. That's
because such denigrates the nobleness of those who are facing some of
life's trials. Regardless of the characterization, the unity of those
in small towns will surely see them through.

Obama's remarks are really just a venting of his own frustrations at
not being able to 'win' very many of the voters in... small towns. As
CNN's John King likes to point out on the maps, Obama has been
dominating the high population centers near big cities. But he isn't
getting winning margins in very many rural, small town areas. Since
the momentum has clearly shifted to Clinton, is it any wonder that
Obama is showing his frustration?

Obama said, with his characteristic coolness, "The Bible urges people
to cling to good things..." I suppose 'religion' and 'guns' and disdain
for unfair trade agreements are the types of things the Bible could
have, but really doesn't, recommend that people cling to. Yes, Obama
chose his words poorly. But as CNN's Lou Dobbs points out, Obama
hasn't apologized for characterizing those people in small town PA as
"clinging". The 'Peanuts' character Linus clung to his blue security
blanket. Accusing people who have fallen on bad times of "clinging",
isn't worthy of any candidate hoping to represent all of the people.

Politics can't extricate us from this period of difficulty just by
electing Clinton, Obama or McCain. But 81% of Americans--if united to
do what is optimum for the most Americans--CAN produce any change in
the USA that they so desire! The founding fathers were wise enough to
know that conditions would be changing. The Constitution has been a
wonderful model. But it's not a powerful enough document to let
democracy wrest control from the special interests, lobbyists, and
corrupt players who are all too evident on the national scene.

"Ballot Bowl" continues with it's daily play-by-play coverage of the
"game" of choosing nominees and the President. But unfair influences
like "polls", and continuing biased comments by high paid commentators
supporting the media's choices, taint our supposed democratic
processes. But there is a hint of fresh air! As with that 'cartoon'--
which I described, earlier--showing the supporters of a loosing
football team switching flags, Obama's supporters are having second
thoughts.

When Obama graduated from college, he took a low paying job to work
for the people. Even so, his people skills are slim. He's a smart
individualist. But Obama has little in common with anybody. The
uniqueness of his handwriting shows such fact, clearly. He's an
introspective, work alone, and fight for his points person. That's
probably the reason that he selected "health care" to try to best
Hillary Clinton. He figured he would be the more persuasive talker.
But the main thing he has shown is his intransigence to compromise, or
to finding a better way. Either of those qualities would doom a
president.

With the PA primary looming large, Hillary Clinton is acknowledging--as
I have repeatedly said--that the democratic race isn't a "game". The
outcome of the Pennsylvania primary is far too important to the future
of democracy to be so characterized. And Obama's continued candidacy
for the Democratic nomination is far too threatening to the future of
the USA.

Wake up and unite, America!

Barack Obama's campaign for the Democratic nomination is rolling right
along... "Damn the torpedoes; full steam ahead!" is his mantra. Nearly
a century ago, the brand new luxury liner 'Titanic' set sail on its
fateful voyage. On a clear, cold night, she hit an iceberg. Many
felt a vibration... For a while, at least, most just assumed everything
was normal.

Symbolically, Obama's campaign hit an iceberg when those in it seemed
elated that roadblocks to democracy were being thrown up by the DNC.
Many, like Senator Tom Daschle, smiled that the primary votes in
Florida weren't being counted, and the primary in Michigan wasn't
being redone.

In the 2000 race for President, many will remember that Republicans
grinned like Cheshire cats when the US Supreme Court suspended
democracy--because of... "scheduling difficulties".

Now, it looks like unprincipled Democrats are going to take a stab at
suspending democracy,too. They're doing so by not insisting that the
votes in FL get accepted, or that the votes in Michigan get fairly
apportioned as befits that state's demographic mix.

It's absolutely amazing that the USA considers it her duty to "impose"
democracy in places like Iraq. Yet, democracy is hardly evident
anywhere in the USA! General Petraeous should be circling his troops
around Obama, and his gang of grinning tagalongs. And how about
those who willingly contribute their hard-earned money to defy
democracy in America and get that... Manchurian Candidate, Obama,
nominated? Aren't those contributors as much of a threat to America
as illegal aliens? Because democracy is the dusty cornerstone of our
Constitution, those who violate such are certainly doing illegal acts.

Yesterday, CNN commentator, Campbell Brown, asked three lady guests
for their assessment of the recent slide in the polls of Clinton. The
first two were quick to say that such portends an Obama victory.
Campbell Brown was refreshingly taken aback. She asked the third lady
if it was going to "be three..." against Clinton. By being put on the
spot, the third woman's reply was less knee-jerk anti Clinton.

CNN is owned by TIME Warner. And that media giant is mostly owned and
controlled by... Jews. Jews are probably the most disdained 'minority'
in this country. Mainly, that's because Jews manage to exercise power
disproportionate to their numbers. And ANY disproportionate exercise
of power is anti democracy! So, is it any wonder a Jewish media giant
supports that anti democracy, minority 'puppet', Obama, for President?

The most basic tenet of a democracy is that the adult citizens are
entitled to have one vote each . And such votes must have the same
power regardless of the... "status" of the voter. Folks, the above
defines democracy. But, unfortunately, our governments don't work
that way...

In Washington the Democrats and the Republicans have their own "side
of the aisle". The party with just one more House or Senate member is
considered... the "majority" party. And such party gets to 'chair' the
many committees. And the... "rules" give those chairmen, and those with
seniority, more POWER than the other representatives or senators--in
absolute DEFIANCE of the principles of democracy!!!!!

A Representative Republic should mimic democracy. And it should yield
results as close as possible to a pure democracy. But the results
being yielded by our governments are presently acceptable to only 19%
of those polled.

In light of the above facts, any patriotic American should see how
allowing Barack Obama to even CAMPAIGN to be President, is an assault
on democracy. Obama's continued candidacy portends that the USA will
sink deeper and deeper into her... corruption-is-the-norm state. And
the USA will surely fall--as did the Roman Empire.

The majority of Americans aren't... bad people. They have just gottentooused to living among those who are bad, and who seem to be getting
ahead because of it. A human flaw is: Making decisions based on what
other people are deciding under the same circumstances. Those 'look
first' qualities amount to mass-mindedness. Blacks see other blacks
supporting Obama, so they support Obama,too--and for that reason
alone. No "trend" in as ominous to the future of America as having 90
plus percent of blacks be mass minded... back to the stone ages. Blacks
support Obama even when "their man" is less than qualified; less than
patriotic, due to his church affiliation; and less than suitable
because of his controlling, rather than delegating, personality. I
have seen "the handwriting on the wall", and Obama's comes up lacking.

Now, the issue is about: Winning the sad, play-by-play sporting event
called "Ballet Bowl". It's not about selecting the best person for
President. Only Hillary Rodham Clinton fills the latter bill of
requirements. But as long as the present election has been cheapened
to a choose-up-sides sport, the loyalties will divide us.

There's this not-too-flattering idea that if enough people support
something, its got to be OK. On such subject, American patriot Thomas
Payne said: "Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong
is wrong, even if everyone is in favor of it!"

In the movie the Poseidon Adventure, actor Gene Hackman's character
tried to get the trapped passengers to follow him "up the Christmas
tree" toward the hull of the overturned ocean liner. But most
preferred to remain with their captain. Within minutes, those who had
not followed Hackman drowned.

In many ways I feel like Gene Hackman's character felt. I,too, am
pointing out the way to survival. But there is this pervading protect-
the-status-quo idea that will surely doom this country. That's
because the status quo has long since become corrupt--in every niche of
the media; in governments, and in higher education. Only the basic
goodness in every human soul-- without bias toward any person or group--
can set us on the right course again. And that can happen ONLY if we
embrace our fellow man of whatever race, color or creed--rather than
letting ourselves become polarized by ever increasing, selfish group
interests.

If 'the phone rings' in your mind at 3:00 a.m.--or any other time--I
hope such rings will signify that your conscience is urging you to do
the right thing for America, and the right things for democracy.
Barack Obama is presently advertising that if he answers a 3:00 a.m.
call at the White House, that he will already have read all of the
particulars needed to make a decision. But when Hillary Rodham
Clinton answers the phone... SHE can respond from her innate knowledge
and well-honed instincts! She--unlike Obama--doesn't need a "cram"
course to be President of the United States of America from day one!!

Be it known: The right to vote is a high privilege. But those being
urged by Obama to register to vote for him, are being corrupted.
That's because free will is the essence of democracy. And free will
considers the options before making a decision.

Every American should hope that the person for whom they vote will
improve their lot, and improve America. And those objectives don't
have to work against anyone in this country! A properly run Federal
Government, like we presently don't have, will benefit all of us.
With 81% discontent in this country, the time for change has come.
United we stand; and united we shall prosper!

Over Easter, Barack Obama and his family took a short vacation.
During that period polls were taken which show that Hillary Clinton
would defeat McCain by a larger margin than Obama would. And just
this week, for the first time, Obama's... "personality" is being
mentioned as an issue. But his camp has chosen to lump all of Obama's
personality issues under this one heading: the "Damn the USA..." sermon
of Obama's preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Since Obama has
already replied to the latter, those in his camp are hoping those
"personality" issues will stay behind him. But Obama's news spinners
are sitting much more tensely in their seats as they try to deflect
the questions about his lack of qualifications--personality or
otherwise. And their 'smiles' in such regard seem much less genuine.

These days, when Obama speaks, those supporters of his with a
propensity to nod their heads in agreement to everything he says, are
planted in the audience in the view of the TV cameras. From the tone
of his recent speeches, one would never realize that he is being
assailed. "Bullets are flying..." over his head. That's figurative
speech, of course. Obviously, there's a battle going on. But is it a
flag-waving "sports event"? Or is it a political race that would ever
find Barack Obama qualified to lead the declining... "greatest nation of
all time"?

CNN has labeled their 24/7 coverage of the race for President, the alltooapt name: "Ballot Bowl". For them, having someone be elected
President is 'sport'. And they are the high paid play-by-play sports
announcers. There isn't a sporting event in this country in which the
announcers don't telescope their personal loyalties by their
excitement over a... "GOAL!"; or a home run; or a touchdown. Many teams
have their own announcers, and their own radio and TV networks.
Choose the 'wrong' one of those, and the announcer won't be showing
the emotion you desire.

Anderson Cooper--or as he chooses to pronounce it: "Coo-per"--has had
what looks like... excellent surgery under his left eye. Anderson could
have told everyone--figuratively, of course--that he got "grazed by a
bullet" when he got off of his plane in Iraq. If he had said 'that'
