Kudos to Mrs. Bush

I read a story on CNN which surprised me greatly, see http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/07/laura.bush/index.html.

The former first Lady says that Obama has been doing a good job, but has much on his plate. This is the most gracious thing any Republican has had to say in some time. I congratulate her for her openness, and perhaps even wisdom?

Cheers, Mrs. Bush! May you be as great a former first Lady as was your Mother-in-Law.

Speak to the Chidren Mr. President.

By Greg Schaefer - Sep 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm EDT

Some tempest in a teapot is brewing about Mr. Obama's plans to speak to the nation's children. He is also their President, and they should hear from him from time to time. I want my Son to hear from him.

The Teapotty people should just get their asses back to Stalinist Texas and secede. We would not miss you nor your Bush Dynasty.

Kennedy

By Greg Schaefer - Aug 30th, 2009 at 3:53 am EDT

Mr. President, Sir,

Your eloquence continues to amaze me. When I campaigned for you, some said you were an empty suit. I knew then, and know now you are a very, very powerful leader. I contend that you are going to go down in History as great as Theodore Roosevelt, but hopefully with less fuss and bother at the end.

I hope to join the Army. I would be honored and proud to call you my Commander and Chief. I loved seeing your face in the halls of VAMC-Louisville.

Sincerely, Yours,

Gregor Schaefer

Change in American Politic.

By Greg Schaefer - Aug 15th, 2009 at 2:40 pm EDT

President Obama said he wished to "bring real change in Washington." He has not only done it in Washington, but in every city in the United States of America. Can you recall such a national debate of this magnitude? The Health Care Issue is critical, and Mr. Obama has created a great debate on this topic. I'll take my coffee black, and piss in your teapot, tea partiers...

Kim Jong-Il posing with Clinton.

By Greg Schaefer - Aug 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm EDT

Whose prestige was increased most by the visit of President Clinton to Pyongyang? Look at the beaming face of Kim Jong-Il. These women are either spies, or they are incredibly stupid, incredibly unlucky or both.

Were I President Obama my message would be simple, the message I would ask Bill to courteously convey might go as follows. Release the women today. You will dismantle all long-range missile facilities, and your nuclear program or I will do it for you.

I would employ the Bush doctrine of preemptive strikes, particularly since we only have an armistice. We surgically remove Kim Jong-Il from power, with a massive overwhelming attack, and then return back South to Seoul, having destroyed North Koreas missile facilites, and collected all Scientists capable of recreating it. If the Chinese feel like mixing it up again, well they can have North Korea.

Next move.

Health Care.

By Greg Schaefer - Jul 29th, 2009 at 5:25 pm EDT

Also listed in: 4 groups

I have not yet suffered buyer's remorse for the two weeks I spent full-time canvassing for Obama here in Ohio. I have relatives who would never vote for a black man, no matter who he is, and I still attempted to get their vote.

I will probably never forgive Obama for keeping the Clintons in the White House. I think the Bush dynasty is the primary reason we had the 9/11 attacks and subsequent ill-considered war in Iraq. The Muslim world is very clan-oriented and seeing the son of the invader of Iraq in the White House is the proximate cause of the meager attacks of 9/11. Bringing in Clinton is part of the polarization of government which has caused republican entrenchment so deep they would oppose Obama's plan to endorse air if he said it was good for people to breathe.

I think Obama needs to walk more carefully the line concerning African Americans. I think he blew it on the Gates issue. I've been arrested for DC simply because there are many persons who simply should not be police officers. The officer should have gotten his charges dismissed with prejudice, and Gates should have filed a complaint with the department. Sometimes you simply are in the wrong place at the wrong time. I've been in Gates' shoes, but Obama isn't all inviting me in for a beer.

I really do mean to write about health care. I think we Ohians should begin a letter-writing campaign to push our Senators and Representatives. When we essentially shut down the State Government's phone and e-mail systems in our efforts to save the Libraries, we truly showed our power. I do not know how to harness that energy to help Obama succeed in reforming health care. I think that his star rises or falls on this single issue, and do not want him to fail. I look forward to any comments. I have somewhat fallen off the face of MYBO, but maybe some are still here.

Cheers,

Greg Schaefer

Hillary can repay herself.

By Greg Schaefer - Jun 26th, 2008 at 6:52 am EDT

Why should I give money to a multimillionaire because she overspent on her campaign. They can well afford the loss.

Richardson's endorsement.

By Greg Schaefer - Mar 21st, 2008 at 8:15 am EDT

Bill Richardson gave a great endorsement for Obama. Let's hope the article is right, and that his endorsement helps with the hispanic voters!

Candidate Obama.

It is looking more like victory every day. MSNBC had a similar article to the CNN article below:

Pelosi's remarks on nightmare ticket.

By Greg Schaefer - Mar 11th, 2008 at 8:33 pm EDT

I scour CNN, so you don't have to. Anyway, Pelosi is quite clear about how it is wake up time for this nightmare:

Jsn's brilliant comment.

By Greg Schaefer - Mar 10th, 2008 at 9:29 pm EDT

I wish I had said this:

Saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle.

Hillary's new strategy: "I'm McCain in a skirt!"

nightmare ticket.

By Greg Schaefer - Mar 10th, 2008 at 7:45 pm EDT

These are his words concerning the nightmare of putting both current democratic primary contenders on a single ticket for November:

Saying he wanted to be "absolutely clear," he added: "I don't want anybody here thinking that somehow, 'Well, you know, maybe I can get both.' Don't think that way. You have to make a choice in this election."

"I am not running for vice president," Obama said. "I am running for president of the United States of America."

The whole article is available here:

Thanks Barack!

Clinton's qualifications.

By Greg Schaefer - Mar 7th, 2008 at 6:39 pm EST

I've lived with my wife for some ten years. I was there when she did some pretty impressive things. Do you think any employer would find me qualified for her job just because of this?

I wish people would ask of Mrs. Clinton what experience she has that all the white house reporters, interns and janitors did not get. Was she a mere tourist in the Capitols she visited? Will next we find ourselves enraptured by the first person off the Tour Bus from Europe splashing home video over the airwaves?

Our candidate has exercised remarkable restraint in the face of extremely rude accusations. Sadly, many of our fellow Americans desire and require Judge Judy style vitriol. Let them eat spam.

CNN says Obama is still ahead in the delegate race. This primary season seems like it will never end.

I went to the Cadillac Ranch and bought expensive beer to watch the primary results with other supporters. I had the good fortune to meet Cincinnati mayor Mallory. He had impeccable manners, and was quite personable.

Let's keep up the good fight. Let's go win Mississippi.
