Quotation of the minute...

"Obama is a charlatan" ~Lawrence Eagleburger

...Jim Thompson

My original take was Obama's a flimflam man but
Eagleburger is probably right in charlatan being
a better word for it.

Barack Obama equals John Kerry.

I do see why you'd say so but, IMO, it's akin to saying malignant
melanoma equals diaper rash. True, they're both skin ailments but one
is significantly worse than the other.

And one example of Obama's charlatanism is, while in public he
advertises he's for lower energy costs, in a just released interview
he states that under his cap and trade tax plan the cost of
electricity will, in his own words, "skyrocket."

So, despite his flowery bull****, if you'd like skyrocketing
electricity costs to go along with skyrocketing gasoline and food
prices then Obama's the man for you.

Like I repeatedly say, the resulting depression and civil war will
"level" things out... and rid us of a lot of leftist weenie-wimps ;-)

There is a good chance that a super-leftist Dem prez, and a ditto
Congress, could produce a conservative backlash.

Perhaps.

Back on quote of the minute, I just heard Chuck Schumer explain his
rationale for the 'non secret' union vote.

According to him the 'problem' is only 6%, or so, of workers are
unionized so something needs to be done to increase that number.

Think about that a moment. Why would a 'non secret' ballot help?

The only thing I can come up with, off the top of my head, is he
*expects* union intimidation and that's the 'point' of it.

Exactly. But unionization is self-limiting; just look at the US steel,
auto, and shipbuilding industries. Most of the businesses in the USA
that are prospering are non-union.
