Mr. Obama wrote me again. I guess I'm on his e-mail list. This time he reminded me of the importance of rushing to pass another ONE TRILLION DOLLAR-PLUS bill through Congress.
So I watched his press conference tonight. Question after question, answer after answer had me scratching my head, wondering, "What did he say? Did he answer that question?" Like the push to pass the Big Government Stimulus Package, he was again urging Congress to act now, do it fast, or doom and catastrophe lay around the corner.
Mr. President, you stated again that Americans want something done now, else we will see skyrocketing premiums and deficits left to our children to pay. Isn't that what we are getting with the bailouts -- bills left to our children (and children's children) to pay?
And, Mr. President, you didn't say anything about all of the illegal aliens who will be covered by your bill. They are, after all, a part of that 45 million "Americans" who you claim are not covered. And, Mr. President, I just read this comment from your first pick for Health and Human Services director, (tax-evading) former Senator Tom Daschle: "[H]ealth-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them." This according to Bloomberg. So health care reform means less care for senior citizens -- "Get used to it, Grandpa. You gonna die soon, so forget that hip operation, or the cataract surgery!"
And Mr. President, why is it that most Americans don't see the urgency of getting this reform bill passed? Could it be that your type of health care reform is not a priority because most of us LIKE our health care plans? A Zogby/University of Texas poll says 84% of Americans are satisfied with their health care. Might it also be that we are more concerned about all those jobs you promised that the Big Government Stimulus Package was supposed to deliver?
And, Mr. President, is there anything in this big 1000-plus page bill that addresses those high priced lawsuits and malpractice expenses that doctors have to contend with, that are a true contributor to higher premiums and stress on medical professionals? And now I hear that this bill also includes taxpayer-funded abortions for "poor women" as a part of their (not the unborn baby's) health-care. Do you really think most Americans want to foot the bill for abortions?
As you answered the Press' questions tonight, I didn't hear these issues addressed, and what you did address, like getting treatment for a "bad sore throat," sounded rambling and incomprehensible. (I suppose it's the usual case of you trying to explain something that you and Congress haven't read.)
So I ask you, sir, What's wrong with slowing down and allowing the light of day to shine on this big bill? Do you fear that the more we learn, the less we'll like? What's wrong with debate? Are we not allowed to question what you people pass onto us to pay for and live with? Your press conference tonight convinced me again that you and your Administration are hastily pursuing change that most Americans neither want nor understand.

President Obama Wrote Me Again, and I Wrote Him Back
President Obama wrote me again, this time asking me to support his Supreme Court pick, Sonia Sotomayor. I responded:
Thank you for your update on the progress of your Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor. I believe she is a quality candidate, and I really admire you for reaching beyond conventional candidates, choosing to add diversity and expanded opportunity to others. However, I am troubled with your choices primarily because of your intractable support of abortion on demand. I suspect that this ideology is also mirrored in your appointments and nominees.
[Note: Sotomayor served on a board of a civil rights group, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) that supported essentially no restrictions on abortion. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2293845/posts]
Mr. President, as a self-described African-American man, are you bothered about the number of black babies being snuffed out of the womb (see http://blackgenocide.org/) -- and not just black children, but those of your own nominee's ethnicity (i.e. Hispanic/Latino babies), all in the name of a woman's right to choose death to her unborn child. Fifty million babies have been aborted in our country -- 50 MILLION. This is an ugly blotch on the character of our nation.
Even worse is how you and your Administration espouse abortions being less regulated so that even late-term and partial-birth abortion are acceptable "procedures," parental notification is not important, and all American taxpayers (thanks to you) are being forced to provide this service for overseas agencies, with some clamoring for the same "benefit" to be a part of your health reform initiatives.
My prayers are that you and your wife will have a change of heart about abortion on demand. Perhaps future judicial appointments will reflect real empathy from the Obama Administration -- empathy for the unborn. Maybe Barack and Michelle Obama will be stirred to fulfill their commitment in truth: to help the weak and defend the defenseless (who is more defenseless than a baby in the womb?) and cease your participation in the silent genocide of the most helpless of God's creatures -- those awaiting birth.

BACK ON WHAT TRACK, MR. PRESIDENT?
Did you hear that the President wants us to volunteer more - says we're all off track? He sent me an e-mail today”:
"Our nation faces some of the greatest challenges it has in generations and we know it’s going to take a lot of hard work to get us back on track.
While Michelle and I are calling on every American to participate in United We Serve, the call to service doesn’t end this fall. We need to stay involved in our towns and communities for a long time to come. After all, America’s new foundation will be built one neighborhood at a time – and that starts with you.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama"
With all due respect, Mr. President and First Lady, in regard to volunteering, I do not feel that Americans are off track. And what is this "new foundation" you're talking about? I believe you are failing to acknowledge the "volunteer" work of religious folk and especially of American Christians. I do not believe we have some crisis in volunteerism that through "a lot of hard work" will "get us back on track (“Back on track”—what does that mean anyway?!). American Christians have been volunteering for years -- since our country's inception. Or perhaps you do not consider their work as being on the same "track" that you want us to get back on.
Back on track... would that mean volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center?
Back on track... would that include church sponsored aid to a homeless shelter?
Back on track... would that involve ministering to the needs of wounded warriors -- injured American veterans?
Back on track... does that include the valiant, unselfish work of groups like the Salvation Army, and countless church outreaches to battered wives' shelters, orphanages, VA hospitals, and senior citizen homes?
I have seen no evidence that Americans as a whole are off track in their volunteering. Perhaps the secularist Left is off track (as is shown by the percentage of their incomes donated to charity). Perhaps the godless, materialistic, self-absorbed citizen is off track. But the people I know and associate with -- people in the Christian community -- are very much on track, and have been for years.
I appreciate your call to invite more Americans to volunteer, but I remain skeptical and confused about your plan to get us "back on track." Your rhetorical "track" is an ill-defined, feel good amorphism; and it seems to discount the years of work, unselfish volunteering and stellar example of American Christians. Theirs is a magnificent heritage of volunteering and helping the unfortunate and hurting, which in other presidential administrations was recognized as the lead engine on the "track" of service to others. They -- we -- are certainly not off track.

BLIND-SIDED BY THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER
BLIND-SIDED BY THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER
I find it extremely ironic that critics of Obama (from our side), pooh-poohed Obama's lack of experience. We mockingly compared it with the tried and tested military and government service of Senator John McCain, and even with the executive background of Governor Sarah Palin. He was Obama, the what? The Community Organizer (snicker, snicker, tee hee, tee hee).
Agreed. We do indeed have an inexperienced president-elect with past unseemly ties to Marxists, radicals, and folks with extreme liberal views -- but our number one charge was that "all" he has ever really done was to work as a "community organizer". And therein lies the irony: it was that precise ability -- to "organize" communities of voters -- that propelled this man into the highest office in the land. He "organized" groups that don't even agree with each other and convinced them to vote for him.
He "organized" by effectually doing what he does best -- in his own words: “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views,” from the book, The Audacity of Hope. Catholics aligned with abortionists, black Christians teamed up with the raunchiest of black entertainers, Muslims for Obama marched in step with Gay and Lesbian activists, Wall Street moguls held hands with union bosses, tax-and-spenders rallied with tax-cutters; even former Congressman J.C. Watts, a conservative Republican from Oklahoma, entertained thoughts of supporting this liberal, pro-abortion junior senator's bid for the presidency.
It seems that we all looked at this man, and found ourselves identifying with select pixels in the Barack Obama mosaic. There was something we all "liked" about this good talkin' guy -- the way one admires and works with the affable PTA president, or fund-raiser for the Rotary Club, or Chairperson of the Annual Bake Sale. Barack Obama. The consummate "communty organizer". He out-organized the Republicans --employing a slick team of political emissaries, effectively utilizing the Internet and 21st Century technology, garnering nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in campaign donations (what recession?), and "connecting" with an electorate wanting some kind of..."change". Yes, the Community Organizer -- the one with little experience, an embarrasingly thin resume, and the audacity to seek the highest post in the land -- beat us good.

I DON'T GET THIS GUY
Seriously, do you ever feel confused? When I consider the election of Senator Obama, and see all of these disparate groups running toward this political Savior, I get confused. And a little anxious.
These words came to mind: on an Obama win...
Democrats get their guy
Olberman, Matthews, MSNBC and the media get their guy
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered and homosexual activists get their guy
Planned Parenthood and abortionists get their guy
Hollywood gets its guy
Chavez, Castro, Hamas, and angry Palestinians get their guy
Wall Street execs get their guy
Blacks get their guy
Homeless people registering to vote for a cigarette and a coke get their guy
ACORN gets its guy
Rev. Wright gets his guy
Farrakhan and a lot of Muslims get their guy
Father Flager gets his guy
In fact, (according to polls) all of Europe get their guy
Barack Obama.
Who IS this guy?
"I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views."
"[M]y treatment of the issues is often partial and incomplete."

OBAMA-BIDEN: MORE EDUCATED. AND YOUR POINT IS?
I received this pro-Obama e-mail. Maybe you have seen it. It compares the educational backgrounds of the Obama-Biden team against McCain-Palin. Here's how it goes, and my response:
You are The Boss... which team would you hire? With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an ***unusually critical*** election year.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
& Biden:University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semesterNorth Idaho College - 2 semest ers - general studyUniversity of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalismMatanuska-Susitna College -
1 semester University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
Now, which team are you going to "hire" ?---------
--------------------
WARNING TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO ARE PRO-OBAMA: I AM NOT, AND WHEN YOU SEND ME E-MAIL TO ENCOURAGE ME TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN, I FEEL THAT I MUST TELL YOU WHY I CANNOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA.
So, if you don't want a response, better not send me anything -- because I'm going to write back, maybe make you THINK, and that's something some people don't like to do when asked about WHY they are voting for Barack, what has he ever done, what's he going to DO....
IT WOULD BE AGAINST MY CONSCIENCE AS A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR OBAMA. I SHARE THE VIEWS OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S NIECE, ALVEDA KING:
News Heading: Martin Luther King’s Niece Dislikes Barack Obama Over His Abortion Support, Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Not all black Americans like Barack Obama and one of his biggest critics is Dr. Alveda King, daughter of Martin Luther King’s younger brother. “Senator Obama’s answer to the ills of society, such as continued tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, are diametrically opposed to everything African Americans truly believe and an anathema to the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” she told Town Hall. King says Obama does a disservice to the black community and the nation as a while by advocating abortion yet promoting other human rights.“We can talk about poverty; we can talk about the war; we can talk about teen pregnancy; we can talk about incarceration. However, if we’re not allowed to live, we’ll never encounter those issues,” she says. King recalls her Uncle Martin saying, “The Negro cannot win as long as he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for comfort and safety.” For Alveda King, abortion is a civil rights issue.“Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother,” she explains. “The mother decides his or her fate.”
“In the shadow of the famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech by my uncle in 1963, as Barack Obama makes his speech in 2008, how can the Dream survive if we murder the children?” asks Dr. King concerning the unborn. "Life was very precious to my uncle and life today is precious.” -http://www.lifenews.com/nb153.html
I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT WHO BELIEVES IN KILLING BABIES IN THE WOMB (EVEN UP THROUGH THE NINTH MONTH), HIGHER TAXES, LIBERAL JUDGES, AND SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE POCKET OF THE GAY LOBBY, RACIST-FOUNDED PLANNED PARENTHOOD (see blackgenocide.org) , WHO ALONG WITH HIS LOFTY "COLLEGE EDUCATION" IS FRIENDS WITH AND HAS WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH AN AMERICAN LEFTIST TERRORIST (William Ayers) AND IS SCHOOLED IN THE WAYS OF SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST MENTORS. That's Obama.
WHAT DOES A COLLEGE EDUCATION HAVE TO DO WITH CHARACTER, MORALITY, HONESTY, AND LEADERSHIP? LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE HE'S ASSOCIATED WITH WHO HELPED BRING ABOUT OUR MOST RECENT ECONOMIC DISASTER. ONE OF HIS ADVISORS WAS HEAD OF FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC (Franklin Raines) AND GOT AWAY WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS -- AND WILL PROBABLY BE INVESTIGATED SOON!
I ask you, How can Obama fix something from which he has taken thousands of dollars -- he's at the top for receiving money from Fannie and Freddie. Could you trust the judgment of someone who takes advice from the same people who created the mess??? Oh yeah...ALL THESE FREDDIE AND FANNIE PEOPLE HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES, TOO.
About education and presidents...WHAT ABOUT ABRAHAM LICOLN? Was he a great president? What was his educational background? There is a saying that says, "If you know how to read the written word you can learn anything and even become President of the United States." That is what Abraham Lincoln did. As an avid reader he read and studied law books, then practiced law in Illinois. He knew the law well and was elected to the Illinois State Legislature in 1834. He also served as a Member of U.S. House of Representatives, 1847-49.Abraham Lincoln was taught to read, write and 'cipher' (do math) by his step-mother, Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln. The total amount of education Lincoln had only amounted to about a year. -Wikipedia
HOW ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON? Some Presidents attended more than one institution. George Washington never attended college, but he did receive his surveyor's certificate from the College of William and Mary. -Wikipedia
AND TRUMAN? Truman was the only president who served after 1897 not to earn a college degree: -Wikipedia. So, my FOOs (Friends of Obama), here's another test for you: Who attended the so-called Christian church of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a rabid anti-American, anti-white preacher of black liberation theology for 20 YEARS?
****Who has not supported the right-to-live of babies born alive after botched abortions, and has instead okayed they be left to die? You'll find the answer to this question if you watch this video (I dare you!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKj109ZST3g&feature=related
****Who has said he will make his presidency a "bully pulpit" for gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgendered rights? "As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws," he wrote. "I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage."
He once again said he backs the "complete repeal" of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law passed in 1996 that gives states the option of not recognizing another state's "gay marriages." It also prohibits the federal government from not recognizing "gay marriage." Ever since it was passed homosexual activists have viewed it as a significant legal barrier to nationwide legalization of "gay marriage." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1980043/posts. "While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether," he wrote. "Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does."
****Who has promised to raise taxes drastically? "Consequently, to say, as the campaign does say, that the candidate's tax plan is a tax cut on net -- and that it would limit taxes to 18.2% of GDP -- is grossly misleading. The Obama tax plan would sharply increase real taxes. It also would come nowhere near to paying for the massive increases in federal spending he has proposed, including the spending that is disguised in the form of refundable tax credits." -Wall Street Journal, go to http://www.wsj.com/article/SB121910303529751345.html?mod=most_emailed_day
****Who called the possible accidental pregnancy of his daughters as being "punished with a baby"? In his own words, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZJYWjkAPo. So, babies are PUNISHMENT?
****Which college educated candidate did favors for, and got favors from (remember the house?), an indicted con man and lied about ever helping this crook? "As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens. The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich. The letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he's known Rezko, "I've never done any favors for him.'' -Media Matters, and http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/425305,CST-NWS-obama13.article
------------------
To many people, all this doesn't matter -- none of it. The man has never had a job outside of government or "community organizing". He's never run a business, and has spent most of his time in the U.S. Senate running for President. And why does he vote PRESENT so much and not take a stand YES or NO on issues?
All of this matters to me. When considering a candidate for the job as president, my choice is not the highly educated Barack Obama or his college-educated motor-mouth liberal partner, Joe Biden, but the tough, experienced and maverick team of McCain and Palin -- who are both pro-life.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SAID: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Hey, if you are an Obama supporter, at least THINK about what you're doing. He might be your color, but does he have the right character to be president?

About education and presidents...WHAT ABOUT ABRAHAM LICOLN? Was he a great president? What was his educational background? There is a saying that says, "If you know how to read the written word you can learn anything and even become President of the United States." That is what Abraham Lincoln did. As an avid reader he read and studied law books, then practiced law in Illinois. He knew the law well and was elected to the Illinois State Legislature in 1834. He also served as a Member of U.S. House of Representatives, 1847-49.Abraham Lincoln was taught to read, write and 'cipher' (do math) by his step-mother, Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln. The total amount of education Lincoln had only amounted to about a year. -Wikipedia
HOW ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON? Some Presidents attended more than one institution. George Washington never attended college, but he did receive his surveyor's certificate from the College of William and Mary. -Wikipedia
AND TRUMAN? Truman was the only president who served after 1897 not to earn a college degree: -Wikipedia. So, my FOOs (Friends of Obama), here's another test for you: Who attended the so-called Christian church of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a rabid anti-American, anti-white preacher of black liberation theology for 20 YEARS?
****Who has not supported the right-to-live of babies born alive after botched abortions, and has instead okayed they be left to die? You'll find the answer to this question if you watch this video (I dare you!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKj109ZST3g&feature=related
****Who has said he will make his presidency a "bully pulpit" for gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgendered rights? "As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws," he wrote. "I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage."
He once again said he backs the "complete repeal" of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law passed in 1996 that gives states the option of not recognizing another state's "gay marriages." It also prohibits the federal government from not recognizing "gay marriage." Ever since it was passed homosexual activists have viewed it as a significant legal barrier to nationwide legalization of "gay marriage." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1980043/posts. "While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether," he wrote. "Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does."
****Who has promised to raise taxes drastically? "Consequently, to say, as the campaign does say, that the candidate's tax plan is a tax cut on net -- and that it would limit taxes to 18.2% of GDP -- is grossly misleading. The Obama tax plan would sharply increase real taxes. It also would come nowhere near to paying for the massive increases in federal spending he has proposed, including the spending that is disguised in the form of refundable tax credits." -Wall Street Journal, go to http://www.wsj.com/article/SB121910303529751345.html?mod=most_emailed_day
****Who called the possible accidental pregnancy of his daughters as being "punished with a baby"? In his own words, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZJYWjkAPo. So, babies are PUNISHMENT?
****Which college educated candidate did favors for, and got favors from (remember the house?), an indicted con man and lied about ever helping this crook? "As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens. The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich. The letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he's known Rezko, "I've never done any favors for him.'' -Media Matters, and http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/425305,CST-NWS-obama13.article
------------------
To many people, all this doesn't matter -- none of it. The man has never had a job outside of government or "community organizing". He's never run a business, and has spent most of his time in the U.S. Senate running for President. And why does he vote PRESENT so much and not take a stand YES or NO on issues?
All of this matters to me. When considering a candidate for the job as president, my choice is not the highly educated Barack Obama or his college-educated motor-mouth liberal partner, Joe Biden, but the tough, experienced and maverick team of McCain and Palin -- who are both pro-life.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SAID: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Hey, if you are an Obama supporter, at least THINK about what you're doing. He might be your color, but does he have the right character to be president?

NEVER CONTRADICT A MAN WITH CLIPPERS IN HIS HAND
I made the mistake of getting into a political discussion with my black barber. I had vowed to myself to always avoid conversations about politics with my barber, especially while he was cutting my hair.
HE brought up politics, asked me a few questions that I tried to dodge, like "Who are you voting for?" Sure enough, he was crazy about Obama, as are ALL of the black barbers that I use. This guy was busy flailing and pontificating about evil white people and why he wanted Obama to be the next president -- all the while banging my head with the clippers and constantly working the back of my neck, buzz buzz buzz, comb comb comb, buzz, buzz buzz, thump thump thump...my 12-minute haircut turned into a 30 minute ordeal while this guy was loudly preaching about why Obama was the best choice for black people. In the raging anger of a Rev. Jeremiah Wright, this barber preached that all white people should be killed. I began thinking that underneath that mild-mannered barber uniform my barber might be a terrorist! I better be quiet and let him rant; the clippers could be replaced by a razor and a hair cut could turn into a neck cut.
When he finally finished, I ended up with a much shorter haircut than I wanted and the back of my neck felt like leather. I paid him, even tipped him, and finally addressed the question that I had avoided answering while my hair was being cut, or should I say, while my head was being assaulted. He asked, "You still didn't tell me who you're voting for?" I answered, "I am voting for the man who doesn't believe in killing babies in the womb." He asked, "And who is that?" (As usual, when confronted with understanding the specific positions of their candidate, Obama supporters usually have no answer.) I told him, "I guess you'll just have to look it up." Again, he queried, "Who are you voting for?" I answered, "I am voting for the man who doesn't believe in partial-birth abortion, killing unborn babies even in the ninth month of pregnancy." He answered, "Who is that?" Again, I said, "I'll guess you'll just have to do a little research, huh?"
And I ducked my skinned head into my van and said, "Later, brother."
