Here is a very interesting piece that our local political reporter brought up yesterday in our paper, the Springfield News-Leader. We went one-on-one with Barack Obama after his visit to Glendale High School here in Springfield on July 31.

The same guy that advocates for an auto industry bailout stood against it in an interview I taped that day. Check it out.

Don't know why, but it just made me think of this old song:

Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) by Bob Dylan

Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats,
Some are building monuments,
Others, jotting down notes,
Ev'rybody's in despair,
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet,
But guarding fumes and making haste,
It ain't my cup of meat.
Ev'rybody's 'neath the trees,
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all,
Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey,
And I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Thanks Chris.

Bet Bill O'Reilly or Hannity would love to have that!

Oh I know it. I can't promote my own stuff like that to another media outlet, but hey if someone wants to let some folks know then that'd be awesome.

Sean Hannity has a forum over at his website.

Just funny how that Obama says what he says in this interview, says what he says publicly, and the whole world is just traipsing along behind him.

And, pop, Quinn the Eskimo in my head.

To be fair, it was a different financial world in July.

I'm not sure how "centrist" I'm going to be about posts that blame Obama for further bailouts but don't include criticism of McCain and the Republicans for their BALD-FACED HYPOCRISY for supporting the very same bailouts, while claiming to be the anti-"socialist," small government, fiscally conservative party. Obama is sold out to Wall Street. So is McCain and every leading Republican in both the House and Senate. It's a disgrace, and, in my opinion, deserves another armed revolution. A bunch of Republicans on this board joke about getting extra checks sent to them. Well, it's funny as a joke, but it's not funny that Republicans are so giddy about getting checks from Uncle Sam to inflate (instead of stimulate) the economy while they ridicule Democrats for being "socialist." And it's a disgrace that Republicans have so forgotten--or never even knew--what their party stands for that they are not outraged at the government bailout of private companies and writing checks with money that doesn't exist. The Republican party has sold its soul to lobbyists and money. They dangle abortion and gay rights over your head only to extort votes from you, while they pocket your money. It sickens me that rank-and-file Republicans have fallen for the tactics of people like Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. Stupid Republicans in the hands of master manipulators. Whoever is telling you that Democrats are your enemies are themselves your enemies. They are using you like pawns. Good for the good-for-nothing Democrats for grinding the filthy, money-grubbing Republican party leadership hypocrites under their filthy, money grubbing heels!

Yeah, Tim, but how do you really feel about it?

This is how I really feel about it:

And if I thought there were half a chance of pulling it off and a leader in American with half the integrity of George Washington, I'd be the first in line to enlist. Filthy Washington crooks! Stupid American people!

How about a political revolution? I really think it would be good for the country if the Republican Party would just fold their tent... the brand is damaged.

If there were a real, serious, viably electable new party that put forth dynamic, new generation leadership and solidly constitutional ideas... well, we can dream.

I hear you. The Republicans now are talking about repairing their brand. Like, yeah, right, now I'm going to believe them that this time they really mean it. Go fly a kite! (Euphemism for something more like, "Thy money perish with you!") My trust in those scoundrels is gone forever.

Tim, you can't do this. You can't promote McCain for President as a centrist for post after post in the past and then amazingly attack him on issues you always knew about. You are hypocritical.

It was your "centrist" group that gave us McCain. I NEVER EVER liked him or his policies one bit and only became energized when Palin arrived.

We "evolved animals" as you accept have memories Tim. It's the key element that separates us above the rest of our kin.

Wrong-o, buddy-o. I can learn. I can grow. I don't have to stay as stupid as I used to be. And your Bush buddy and Palin gal are jokes, too.
