Using Rev. Wright for political gain

Written Michael Vass
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice [...]

Rev. Wright, Senator Obama, and the media

Written by Michael Vass
Wow. The media has finally gotten something that they have been waiting over a year for, and they are feasting. I’ve rarely seen such a universal and demostrative move by all the major media in the same direction.
Of course this is all about Rev. Wright, the former pastor of Senator Obama. It [...]

$31,850 is the new definition of rich

Written by Michael Vass
How rich do you feel if you are making $31,850 or more?
If you are like most families and individuals in America, I imagine that you don’t. In fact I would say most would feel relatively poor. Not because of a lack of luxury items or failing in a competition with the Jones’ [...]

Florida and Michigan: More at risk than Democratic nomination

Written by Michael Vass
America is a nation of rules. Rules and the ways that we break them. If we look at baseball, particularly the MLB, we have steroids and the homeruns that fans love. If we look at football we have videotaping and the Super Bowl that is the number one event year after year. [...]

Preparing for the Pennsylvania Primary

Written by Michael Vass
For those in Pennsylvania that will be voting soon, think on this. Hillary did not go to Arkansas, where the Clintons had a long history in politics to be elected to Senate – she went to NY State. She won in part because she promised Upstate New York the creation of 200,000 [...]

Senator Hillary Clinton: Ireland and Sinbad tell the truth

Written by Michael Vass
In the past day events have unfolded to fuel the fire for those that question the supposed ‘experience’ of Senator Hillary Clinton. With these events, the probable loss in Mississippi, and the growing complaints of the public against the Clinton campaigns plans to assume the votes in Michigan and Florida, not to [...]

What makes a Clinton-Obama Presidential ticket attractive

Written by Michael Vass
Previously I mentioned the top reasons why the combined Clinton – Obama Democratic Presidential ticket would not work. So now I will look at the counter-points. Again, the top person on the ticket is interchangeable.

1)Save the Democratic Party. Unity can be created by the combination if handled optimally. The division in the [...]

Why an Obama + Clinton ticket won’t win

Written by Michael Vass
Here is a quick list of a few reasons why I feel the “dream Presidential ticket” means sure doom for Democrats come November. And by the way, the reasons don’t change regardless of which Presidential candidate is the lead.

1)Racial and religious slurs. Obviously there have been multiple attacks and rumors that have [...]

The results after March 4th Primaries

Written by Michael Vass
So Hillary Clinton won 3 states on March 4th. Senator Obama won the caucuses and 1 state. The net result? No real change, no answers, no nominee in the Democratic Party.
For all the hoopla that the Clinton campaign has made recently, they really have accomplished nothing. Except for furthering the divide among [...]

Clinton vs. Obama - is there a real difference?

Written by Michael Vass
So I was working on a couple of projects for clients and I was listening to a couple of pundits talk about the Democratic candidates. The specifics were that they were contrasting the positions of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
I wasn’t paying deep attention to the conversation, but after a bit [...]

Clinton campaign paints a blacker Obama

Written by Michael Vass
There is no question that Senator Clinton desperately needs a win in Texas and Ohio. It’s a fact that has been admitted by all sides of the Democratic race. Nor is there a question that Senator Clinton has decided to do everything possible to get those wins. But even I would never [...]
