The Hurricane and The Convention

One thing you can count on; President Bush can not win in whichever direction he goes. "IF" he goes to the convention people will say he has no compassion for those under duress from the hurricane. "IF" he stays away they will say the Party did not want him there. There is no solution for him.

As for me - conventions being what they are, it probably does not matter. Having said that; sitting at a local restaurant the other night eating dinner, a couple sitting in an adjoining booth provided dining entertainment. They made startling insightful statements about the democrat convention they had just witnessed. They gave me hope that Mr. Obama has allot of work to do to 'convince' Americans he is ready. Their comments sort of set me back, pleasingly so I might add.

I am not really afraid of an Obama election; what 'does' scare me is that possibility in conjunction with a veto proof Senate and a large majority in the House. As stated many times, law originates in those two chambers; as long as there is a balance between the lawmakers and the Presidency things generally balance out. If not? And yes, the Republicans created the pile of feces they are standing upon today.
