I should change the title of this blog. I wasn't going to address politics, but was planning to have a little fun time, some time out on this blog. But, then there are a few things that are on my mind.
I have been in support of Barack Obama. Everyone knows that. Keith Olbermann knows that and I have been on his show. He also supports Senator Obama. But, and this is a big BUT, I think he was entirely out of line with his "Special Comment" on Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro. He took Ms. Ferraro's every word and nuance and pounced on them with a vengeance. I know that he has been waiting to do this. As a woman, I do feel the vehemance of Keith against Senator Clinton and Ms. Ferraro. It is fine to be for Senator Obama, but to do a Special Comment on Senator Clinton, as he did with President Bush... are they on the same level of incompetence and malice?
The race card -- as an immigrant to this fine country, I am very sensitive to this issue. At this point, everyone is playing the race card. Everybody, including Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Ferraro, and Mr. Olbermann. Who is this benefitting? How is the country taking it? It is reinforcing race as an issue. I thought we had gone beyond that. I had hoped we had gone beyond that. It is as ridiculous as asking if Senator McCain was disqualified because his father was not stationed on U.S. territory when the senator was born. Just ridiculous!
This will be my only political blog, unless something else raises my blood pressure.
By the way, this blog is all in good fun... I have an entire newspaper and several books to air my views!
Also, by the way, hello, Bumped Off! Good to see you here.
I'm not a political animal though ekyprogressive (James) has taught me a lot and I'm always ready to learn!!!
