Obama and illegals

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/01/28/MNH1UL57Q.DTL

Obama supports drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. So that sounds like an enlightened position... But lets take it a few steps further...
If they get a drivers license, that presupposes that they will purchase cars, but will insurance companies sell them car insurance? Will illegals even know to get insurance on the car? What if they dont get insurance and someone is an accident with them? Who will pay for the damage? Not the taxpayers again?

Again, sounds good, but the reality of the matter is that it isnt a good idea...

If Obama's intent is to give illegals some sort of identification that helps the government know who they are, he should adopt Guiliani's idea of a national id card...

Harry Smith's unbelievable question

I get so tired of the media and their idiotic questions and statements.

Harry Smith, on CBS's The Early Show, asked Ted Kennedy if he was fearful that Obama might get assassinated...
What the heck is he thinking?

South Carolina results

I'm not surprised that Obama won, but what surprises me is Bill Clinton's response... He compared Obama to Jesse Jackson, because Jackson won in South Carolina in 1984 and 1988.
So is Clinton insinuating that Obama is "just another black guy not to be taken seriously?"
I think so...

I have to inwardly keep laughing because so many Clinton supporters are bailing for what they are doing to Obama! I could see them for who they were years ago, but its nice to see liberals waking up! And the fact that Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy have endorsed Obama is so wonderful! Ha Ha Ha!
I also noticed Toni Morrison has endorsed Obama over the wife of "the first black president."

So will Hillary bring that leash in that Bill is on? Maybe now we can get Bill to shut the heck up!

The truth is out there

Finally, liberals and Democrats are starting to see what the Clintons are really about...

Iowa results

Yes, last night was a monumental night in our nation's history.
An African-American candidate won a race in Iowa, of all places!
They only have about a 2% population of blacks, so does this mean that we have finally looked passed the color of someone's skin?
I am so thrilled to think that there might be a "turning of the corner" so to speak on race issues in this country.
I know its only one race, but I am going to take-in this historical event...

Quote of the Day

Ultimately, a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I picked this quote after seeing tonight's Iowa caucus results in which Huckabee and Obama proved victorious.
I think the Democratic Party is looking for someone fresh, with some new ideas (even though I dont think Obama has any vision for America - it seems like alot of platitudes to me). It looks like the people of Iowa are tired of the Clintonistas and worried about Bill Clinton getting back in the White House.
I wonder if we will see less of Bill on the campaign trail after tonight's results (one can only hope)

As for Huckabee, I think his Fair Tax has really resonated with voters there, along with his very strong pro-life stance. Conservatives feel very strongly on that issue and the anti-gay marriage issue. And Huckabee is just a likable guy, someone who seems trustworthy...

I still believe Romney will get the Republican Party nomination and Clinton will get the Democratic nomination. Those are my predictions for this year's election.
