Calling Rush Limbaugh, Debate Michael Moore
Rush Limbaugh, the fat mouth piece of the Republican Party has challenged President Obama to a debate. Of course, Limbaugh knows this is a safe challenge – because it will never happen. Rush is like that – safe. Limbaugh has captured and audience of angry malcontents, people who are looking for some one to blame for their miserable lives. Limbuagh feeds their anger, thus keeping them in the fenced yard. If Limbaugh wants to really debate someone, why not challenge Michael Moore.

A Conflict of Ethics
All of us have ethics. We may not think consciously about them – but we have them. Sometimes these ethics are in conflict with each other – when that happens we find Hamlet, struggling with self doubt, pondering, “To be or not to be?” Ethics do not follow a smooth continuum of linear progression, with [...]

Undecideds Laughing At, Not With, McCain
From TIME’s Amy Sullivan:
In politics it is generally not considered a good sign when voters are laughing at you, not with you. And by the end of the third and last presidential debate, the undecided voters who had gathered in Denver for Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg’s focus group were “audibly snickering” at John McCain’s grimaces, [...]
Debate Expectations
The CW this morning seems to anticipate fireworks (any one see today’s cover of the New York Daily News?) in the last presidential debate tonight: another Hail Mary pass from John McCain, though in exactly what form is anybody’s guess. As Maureen Dowd noted on GMA: McCain needs a big rabbit out of a [...]

Can McCain Win The Debate?
McCain can win this debate – but he will have to hire Bill Clinton as a stand-in to do so. We are seeing very clearly that words do matter – and Bill Clinton is the modern master of words. McCain is a seasoned politician, able to deflect criticisms, able to spin content; but this debate [...]

McCain, Palin is Great Because I was a POW
John McCain had a news flash for Americans in the town hall debate the other day. McCain was clever in demonstrating his comprehension of American politics. Some of his jargon is difficult to follow – probably because his language was affected while serving as a POW.
Highlights from McCain’s debate answers:
The moderator is a polish immigrant, [...]
Obama, McCain, Townhall Debate, 10-7-2008
Obama and McCain will be facing off tonight in a Town hall style debate. This is a format that McCain has favored. During the primaries, when McCain was down in the polls and in money, he resurrected his campaign with a town hall format. McCain is relaxed in smaller groups of people, talking freely with [...]

Letterman with Brian Williams
This is just a fascinating segment on David Letterman. Letterman, as most know, has been after McCain for a week – McCain bailed out on a Letterman segment. But to have Brian Williams on this talk/comedy show brings up issues that would really be funny if they were not so serious.
Brian Williams notes with exacting [...]
Biden, Palin Debate, 10-2-2008
Tonight is the night. This is the most talked about debate in recent memory (we have Alzheimers, or some cousin of that dementia) – so it should be interesting. Everyone is looking for theater – It is almost as if no one expects substance – we are looking for the big gaff. The nice thing [...]

Who Won The Debate, 9-26-2008
This writer watched closely. We felt that each candidate accomplished what they needed for this particular evening. Obama showed he could stand on the stage of foreign policy with McCain. After a tumultuous week of zig zagging McCain needed to show himself in command of his faculties.
Here are some reviews done by other media sources.
Book [...]

Tonight is an important event in the 2008 Presidential election. The debate on national security between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain will help voters understand their choices.

The Fireside Post will be posting through [...]
Obama Responds to McCain Campaign Suspension
(Editor Note: The picture with this post looks like Obama is waving goodbye. That is a coincidence).
3:40 PM CST: The opening comment, “There is much blame to go around but we are now here. We have to act quickly but we have to get it right… I reached out to Senator McCain because many of [...]

Commander in Chief – Role of a Citizen
The Constitution of the United State of America vests the power of Commander in Chief with the Executive – The President. This feels clear to this writer that the intent was for a citizen, elected by the people, to act as Commander of the military. There was purpose in this intent.
Here is a quote from [...]
McCain/Palin – Unstable/Unable
This is the week that was. John McCain could not have had a harder time. Every day, and sometimes twice a day, McCain changed his position and philosophy on the economy. At times he sounded like he might be in early stages of oldtimers disease.
John McCain, that once bold and brave warrior, has been reduced [...]
