The Iraqis and the Afghanis if Obama gets elected.

The only difference is, Cheney had to actually produce W.

This story reminds me of when I was in 8th grade. A classmate, Ruben, and I ran for King and Queen of our 8th grade class. The winners would be determined by penny vote, the one bringing in the most pennies or votes would win. Ruben and I worked hard, we had little fundraisers, classmates had bake sales, etc. to support us. Someone dropped the story on us that the girl running in opposition to us, that her father was wealthy and actually, he was. And we heard he was having a big event for her, a barbeque, to help her get votes. This made our little efforts seem puny and trivial in comparison, and we lost heart, and probably didn't keep fighting as we should have. After all the votes were in, our opposion did win, but not by much at all. Made me wonder if we hadn't gotten demoralized, and had kept up our strong effort, maybe we would have won. Well, we came in second place, which still was okay. But in this Pres election, second place doesn't count. Don't give up, don't get demoralized listening to the Obama machine. Keep on truckin', Vote McCain/Palin.

Ah, you are talking about GWB, aren't you? Although he and Palin are flesh and blood, (debatable), the same analogy applies. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, (broke and unemployed), I face the same shenanigans every time we vote for the board members. Now the board has come out against prop 8 in California and said all SAG members are in agreement. I don't remember them asking me. Oh, democracy, when was thy death? Around the 1700's I'd say. Hey everyone out there. Remember this November, you are not voting for Home Coming King and Queen! You are voting for your lives. Stay safe Micael.

Wasn't there a MASH episode that used this story line? No one was able to catchup to the newly assigned Dr. He always seemed to have 'just left the area'. His 201 file showed him as having impeccable credentials. He was always involved in surgery (with a mask on), traveling to help at the orphanage, and died at the end of the episode with no one being the wiser. The beneficiary of his SGLI was the area orphanage.

Friend Richard produced his winner with only an empty suit. In this election we have a good looking, articulate, body inside the empty suit parading around - all over the world - attempting to fool all the people, all the time.

Use your brain: Vote Palin/McCain.

Keep your powder dry, Michael.

haha, awesome story, stay safe, from Puerto Rico.

You have said in several paragraphs what I've been dedicating a couple years of blogging on. Check it out, great stories, YouTubes and my editorials which mirror yours. I've called this guy the Manchurian Candidate since the first time I saw him get his butt kicked in the debates with the other democrats.

Friendship is a very powerful relationship. People everywhere respect true friendship. True, sometimes our friends are imaginary and other people around us confirm the power of imagination by respecting our imaginary friend. McCain and Obama are imaginary friends to many of us. We are in the elite minority of this country if we know either of them or even know someone who knows them. Soon, when one of them is elected and sworn in we will of course find out much more about them for "that one" will be imbued (anointed) with the power of the Presidency of the United States of America. I pray that we as the people of this great nation will find a sense of responsibility and grace to trust this elected person to lead us toward a future that celebrates integrity of character and the rule of law and the possibilities of peace.

When I first heard the name "Barack Obama" a year or so ago, I didn't recognize it but thought that if he was running for president I would eventually find out about him. Well, he is and I still haven't. I've been around for quite a few elections and I don't recall anyone more of a "phantom" candidate. Articulate, personable, a passably good speaker, but what does he really think about the important problems and issues? Since he isn't telling us, his personal actions and associates loom very important in providing keys to his basic beliefs. Unfortunately, when these are inspected, a disturbing picture emerges. Terrotists, radical preachers, big city machine political machines, the list goes on---. I give up, I can't read him, so I'm going to support a candidate who does tell us what he believes in (and so does his running mate), and has a lifelong record of acting responsibly and humanely on these beliefs. Go McCain-Palin!

the election that caused you to post this story carried the same weight as Bill Gurley's then we'd be in great shape no matter wh won. Oh well...

The Bill Gurley story is just a small piece of what is a very good book. Thanks Michael for the book, the pictures, and the dispatches. Keep up the good work.

"Many esteemed and influential people have been privately debating the question: ƒ??Is it Possible to Win the U.S. Presidency by Fraud and Deception?ƒ? We already know the answer, donƒ??t we?"

We have known the answer to that for eight years now, ever since GW Bush stole the 2000 election, followed by another, even more egregious theft in 2004.

That's what you are referring to, right?

We have been allowed very little information on Mr. Obama, mostly only what he wants us to know. Even Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose commented about how little we know (transcript on Rush Limbaugh).

What truly is amazing and scary is the lack of public exposure to the question of his citizenship, with its complicated history beyond the question of a Kenyan birth. Although suits have been filed in state and federal courts requesting proof of natural born citizenship, no proof has been offered. Mr. Obama has hired several teams of lawyers to answer these suits mostly with requests for dismissal. Some suits are still pending and some have been dismissed because an individual citizen cannot ask whether Mr. Obama is Constitutionall y qualified to be President. To ask this question, the person must have "standing", or can be directly and significantly affected by Mr. Obama as President. A person actively serving in the military may be asked to put his life on the line at the request of the President and would have "standing."

If there is anyone serving in the military that would like to see if Mr. Obama has the citizenship status to be President, do a web search on Obama citizenship lawsuits and contact someone with an active lawsuit. Berg and Donofrio currently have lawsuits pending in the Supreme Court.

He may have the required citizenship. The question still remains: why hasn't he presented the documents to prove it?

I was elected to my college's student senate by running an an unknown. Everyone knew me by a nickname I'd been saddled with in high school. So, when I started posting campaign signs with my actual name on them, folks assumed I was working for that guy. Since nobody really knew who that guy was, he turned out to be the least offensive candidate and won by a landslide. :0)
