UPDATE

He actually said it.  Obama claims McCain thinks middles class ends at $5M.  That was joke.  Obama knows it was a joke.  But he treats it like it was serious.  He is lying through his teeth.

To shift ones position with every change in the wind is to flip flop. To observe over time, and change ones mind because as new information becomes available one can put together a more informed choice is sometimes sorrowful wisdom. I was planning to stay home and get into a pain free state this election day. Unfortunately, it appears that the differences between the candidates with regard to overall quality is sufficient to force me to make a decision, and to vote (sob). I will hate myself in the morning, but unfortunately, vote I must. The Democrats have once again won the ‘evil in the two lessors’ category. In a year that should have been a slam dunk for them, they have managed to make the race competitive.

There is a stuttering idiot in the White House; Bush has undone in 4 years what was the work of two generations, the building of a conservative majority. The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that this Presidential election should have been over before it began. It was until the Democrats found … the one.

Barak Hussien Obama, the grandson of a typical white person, has all of 167 working days in the U.S. senate. He has no executive experience, he might believe there are 57 states, considering that Dan Quayle was branded an idiot for misspelling potato, this is just one of several Obama gaffes that would have ended a Republicans chances for office. The real nail in the Obama coffin, for this bitter gun owner, comes from his speech in Berlin and his clueless sophistry at the Saddleback church.

Obama’s clueless approach to foreign policy is alarming. He is willing to abandon our allies in Iraq to appease the netroots led by George Soros. In order to not appear like a total weakling he then declares that we will unilaterally attack Pakistan, a weak ally that is armed with nukes. Then there are the lunatics in Iran, Obama declared he would meet them without preconditions, but Fox News is too evil to speak to? What is the thought process behind this posture?

Then we come to energy policy. Obama declares we will become independent of foreign oil in 10 years, without using nuclear power. This path requires technological breakthroughs in wind and solar power, as well as further breakthroughs in the distillation of bio-fuels as well. We cannot make the 10 year mark to an American landscape free of foreign oil. The 10 year plan fails to consider the realities of what it takes to implement a mature technology (like nuclear power) on this scale, let alone the uncertainties associated with untried technologies (like wind and solar).

Forty years is the shortest current time line for the fielding of non-nuclear electric power on an industrial scale. This does not begin to address the need for fuel for our vehicles. What are we going to do in this arena without nuclear power is not clear but it is certain it won’t happen in 10 years. Why no one in MSM takes Obama to task for this hopelessly unrealistic goal, further shows how much the press is carrying water for this light weight.

In short I did not want to vote, but here I am once again forced to choose the lesser of the two evils. I was going to sit this one out, and turn election day into a day to forget. Now, due to Obama’s shallowness, mendacity and clueless-ness regarding economics, foreign and energy policy I am reluctantly going to pull the lever for McCain. Yes, I will really hate myself in the morning.
