I expect Obama's vision will turn out the same as Bush's. Such talk is a reminder of little understanding and urgency Obama has about global warming.voice-in-wildernessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-72401963973053127802016-10-13T16:52:30.837-04:002016-10-13T16:52:30.837-04:00That Obama dude sure is good looking. He's sle...That Obama dude sure is good looking. He's slender, elegant, suave, refined. So what if he smells like sulfur. <br /><br />Speaking of Obama, why don't we take his advice and Look Forward, Not Backward. I'm working on cleaning off my crystal ball and will report when I get a clearer view, but so far this is what I'm seeing. <br /><br />The Wikileaks emails revealed that the Clinton campaign was totally banking on Trump being the nominee, to the extent that it made some of their staff feel very nervous. Undoubtedly they were kept out of the loop for security reasons about the secret stash of dirt on Donald that was being saved for the general election. They also may not have been aware of how embedded the media was in the campaign, a media that would get both jobs done - helping Donald become the nominee and leaking dirt as needed for the general election. <br /><br />Let's not forget that all that dirt could have been used to prevent him getting the nomination, but none of it was leaked. Those tapes weren't just discovered 11 years later. NBC even owned some of them and there's plenty more floating around. Poor Donald. He's caught between a rock and a hard-on, I mean hard place. He can't even reveal that he was the procurer of Babes for Bill on the Lolita Express without condemning himself. Sad. <br /><br />So it turns out that the NYT wasn't just selfishly giving Trump virtually the entire front page day after day for months on end just for page clicks. It was a strategy to keep Donald motivated by seeing himself constantly in the limelight. The Clinton machine played him and still are. They know they can just let him implode, although knowing Hillary, she'll drop more dirt just for payback. Trump had better keep a heads up for drones after Hillary gets elected. She actually asked if they could drone Julian Assange. It wasn't revealed if that was during a Kill Team meeting on Terror Tuesdays or not. <br /><br />Looking further forward, Mme. President is going to have one hell of a time with Les Deplorables. After she dissed so many of them, they aren't going to forget that, ever. If there was ever comes a time of revolution, it will be under the reign of Queen Hillary. <br /><br />And internationally? Putin isn't going to forget that the Clinton Cabal blamed Russia and Putin for attacking and undermining American 'democracy'. Look for a uniting of an ever expanding 'Axis of Evil' with Russia, Iran, China, etc. against the global empire lead by President Clinton. <br /><br />Don't expect to detect a hint of any of this in the American press. The NYT and the rest of the corporate media will be sure to black it all out to make the Empress look good. Never mind Russia, the media should look at itself if it wants to expose the undermining of our 'democracy'. <br /><br />Unfortunately for all of us, Obama, Hillary, and the entire establishment stifled the peaceful political revolution movement starting with Occupy and carried on by Bernie. I'm afraid Les Deplorables will actually be the ones now to stoke a revolution, and it won't be the peaceful, political kind since even the most naive of us can now see that we live in a plutocracy with collusion by their corporate media. <br /><br />Les Deplorables have the fighting spirit, the guts, and the will. Yes, they also have the guns to provide them with a false sense of security and bravado, not to mention intimidation which worked at the Malheur NWR, although that was under Pussycat Obama not Hellcat Hillary. <br /><br />Les Deplorables are as fed up as the rest of us, but they're fa more motivated and UNITED now that Hillary has gathered them into ONE BIG BASKET. Hillary sure does have a way with people.<br /><br />I still say we'd be better off with Trump. Think of how united we'd become! <br /><br />Vote Jill, not Hill.annenigmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-37390970056234700082016-10-13T07:28:02.169-04:002016-10-13T07:28:02.169-04:00Waaaay Off Topic

Every pic and video of him shows a choreographed public relations stance, smile, demeanor and message. <br /><br />Meanwhile, see NYT page A1, Oct 10.<br />Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Strained to Hone Her Message, Hacked Emails Show<br />By AMY CHOZICK and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE<br /><br />Quote:<br />“The exchanges show how Mrs. Clinton’s long-gestating plans to pursue the presidency collided with a newly populist mood in the Democratic electorate (which one of her advisers called the “Red Army”).<br /><br />Almost all campaigns calibrate stagecraft, speeches and strategy. But the new emails seem to underscore Mrs. Clinton’s public struggles in defining her politics and her reasons for wanting to become president.<br /><br />The private discussions among her advisers about policy — on trade, on the Black Lives Matter movement, on Wall Street regulation — often revolved around the political advantages and pitfalls of different positions, while there was little or no discussion about what Mrs. Clinton actually believed. Mrs. Clinton’s team at times seemed consumed with positioning and optics.<br /><br />“Do we worry that publishing an op-ed that leans this aggressively into our newfound position on Keystone will be greeted cynically and perhaps as part of some manufactured attempt to project sincerity?” Mr. Fallon wrote. The best way to appear consistent, he concluded, was “if her position merely leaked out of the labor meeting.”<br /><br />In another exchange...Clinton’s speechwriter circulated a draft of an op-ed about her plan to reform Wall Street. Her senior advisers agonized over whether she should address calls to reinstate Glass-Steagall...<br /><br />Mrs. Clinton was leaning toward endorsing a return to Glass-Steagall, and that not doing so risked antagonizing ....Warren, who had campaigned to reinstate the rule. The campaign feared that Ms. Warren might back ...Sanders. <br /><br />She argued that other policies would better regulate Wall Street risk.”<br /><br />My thought ---Clinton coverage isn’t resolving anything. Her commenter fans just point us to her website. The media aren’t discussing her proposals. It’s all Trump trash all the time, and he’s responding, going over the top every day. <br /><br />The media needs to shift now, even as Trumpf gets more atrocious. <br />Show a table listing issues where Trump and Clinton agree and where they disagree on issues. <br />Then show a table of where each candidate departs from their previous positions. Table may be too long for all Trumpf's changes, so use highlights. <br /><br />Is that too revolutionary for the Times and others during an election campaign? <br /><br />Get issues out there and give us some relief from reality show garbage, which now only a psychiatrist can deal with at this point. <br />Meredith NYCnoreply@blogger.com
