Barak Obama is not an average American. Neither is Hillary Clinton or John McCain. Average Americans have far too much horsesense to bother with schoolyard mud wrestling.

::::::::

If Barry Obama was an average American, you'd have never heard from him. Major media can't make a nickel selling what everyone else does. Major media make money selling you the dirty laundry of the extraordinary.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am comforted by my mediocrity when I see the extraordinary exploits of Britney Spears, Tabloid Joe Leiberman, Sean Hannity or Rush "can I have another, wha?" Limbaugh. At least I can hear when people are telling me that hydrocodone addiction will make you deaf.

If Barry Obama was an elitist, he'd have plied his stock-in-trade selling blocks of equities to foreign governments. But Barry Obama rolled up his sleeves and plied his stock in trade inspiring the poor of Chicago to turn their lemons into lemonaide.

What did Hillary Clinton do with her gifts? Make a murder look like a suicide? Support her philandering husband's presidency in exchange for his support of her's? Use stock insider information to convert a 10,000 investment in Tyson Foods into over 100,000 almost overnight? Repeatedly tell bald-faced lies in public during a campaign for President of the United States?

What did John McCain do with his gifts? Supported the shipping of American jobs overseas by downing Boeing and taking contributions from EAD? Apparently torture weakens the moral character and integrity of the person receiving the torture.

Torture works, folks!

The average American understands hard times. The average American knows and appreciates the polish that results from having your fanny hung over a vat of boiling oil.

It's time we hung Hillary over that vat a few times. She apparently has avoided that distinction throughout her career.

We can't do anything more to John McCain. He has been horribly damaged and shot through with PTSD. He's a tough SOB for having survived what he's survived, but he's not emotionally stable. I know trauma from personal experience and recovery. McCain will be prone to irrational flashes of anger that will leave everyone shaking their heads in dismay. Having experienced the recovery process, I can assure everyone that McCain is too old and weak to endure the processes involved in recovering from PTSD.

Obama is the best candidate we have had in decades, folks. Let's hit the bricks for this guy and blow all the old statistics away. No Republican strategy takes into consideration an electorate that is armed and ready to throw the bums out.
