Podcast Episode #4 - Obama's Misrepresentations

Alright, as promised I've delivered a discussion on Obama's misrepresentations. As I've said before, both candidates have shoveled out their fair share of fertilizer ingredients. However, it's still my position that McCain's campis guilty of the worst acts of purposeful misinformation. McCain is so full of lies that it's rediculous!

But that's not what this particular episode is about, so take a listen and feel free to share your thoughts with me. I want to send a special thanks to Antoinette,whojoined me on this episode. As always, she's at the top of her game providing her insights on the subject. Enjoy:

Podcast Episode #3 - Is Palin really ready to lead?

CNN's Jack Cafferty doesn't think Palin's ready to lead, and neither do I. Oh, and Jack Cafferty's not the only one who feels this way. Judith Warner of the New York Times said the following:

"Frankly, I’ve come to think, post-Kissinger, post-Katie-Couric, that Palin’s nomination isn’t just an insult to the women (and men) of America. It’s an act of cruelty toward her as well."

I brought Antoinette in to hash out the issue of Palin's "job readiness," and you won't want to miss this one:

You can see Sarah Palin get OWNED by CNN's Jack Cafferty and read about it in my article here, and in the following video:

Podcast Episode #2 - Will the presidential debate go on as planned?

I invited my cousin Antoinette to take part in a discussion about the latest issues related to Election 2008. McCain has declared that he is suspending his campaign due to the nation's economic crisis. He's requested that the debate for tonight be rescheduled, but Obama says the debates will happen!

What's the real reason McCain wants to postpone the debate? Listen as we share our theories and get to the bottom of it:

Podcast Episode #1: The "Bridge to Somewhere"

How many times have we heard both Palin and McCain make reference to the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" that Sarah Palin claims to have stopped? Of course we all know that was a thinly veiled deception considering that she was for the bridge up untilthe point when it was obvious that it wasn't going to happen.

What we really need to be concerned about is that McCain and Palin are trying to build a bridge to "somewhere"...

Reinactment of Palin's Charlie Gibson Interview

I really wanted my first post on politics & healthcare to be a serious one, but after viewing the following video I knew that it must be shared with you. I, like millions of Americans watched Palin's first interview with Charlie Gibson a week or two ago. Up until this point we knew very little about Palin's ability to presented herself unscripted. While her RNC speech was excellently delivered it left me wondering about who Sarah Palin really was; beyond the fashionable Kawaski glasses and stylish updo.

After watching the interview, I came to the conclusion that not only did Palin come off as incapable of original thought, but she didn't make very much sense on the points that matter to me. I am so sick of hearing the "terrorists are hellbent on destroying us" and "they hate us because we're free" fodder. Her "programmers" really need to diversify their messages because she sounded like such a robot in this interview.

Although the following video is a reinactment, it's not really far from what went down in the actual interview. In the words of the interiewer, "I feel stupider after having listened to [her]." Take a look:



An for those of you who actually want to see the original train wreck, here's Palin's real interview with Charlie Gibson:
