Taxes: the real Presidential candidate issue

admin @ June 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
With all the attention being place on oil and energy in the past few days I thought I’d take another look at taxes. One of the least popular issues that every Presidential race focuses on. And consistently the public has the same request, lower taxes.
For 2008, the ‘election of change’ [a dumb […]

Senator Obama to travel to Iraq and Afghanistan

admin @ June 16, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
Senator Obama has finally declared he will be going to Iraq and Afghanistan prior to November. Finally. It took long enough.
Senator Obama is known for his opposition to the Iraq war. It’s been one of the most critical points in his candidacy. The war is unpopular (now) and many seek an end […]

admin @ June 3, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
With great joy I can now say that Senator Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
As of 5:37pm the total delegates and Super Delegates reached 2123 in a surge as many formerly supporting Senator Hillary Clinton abandoned her. There is no question that comments from Senator Clinton […]

Democratic Nomination - Path to where?

admin @ May 27, 2008 # One Comment

Written by Michael Vass
Does anyone find it interesting that Senator Hillary Clinton, via husband former-President Bill Clinton, now claim that they have the most votes any Democrat has ever received before? The timing is almost laughable.
First the Clinton machine claimed that they would win with little trouble. The pundits agreed. Then in November 2007 Senator […]

And the Kentucky Primary underwhelms

admin @ May 20, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
So Senator Obama has lost Kentucky. Big deal. Yes I realize the numbers work out to a 35% or 250,000 vote defeat. And I still don’t find it as an important loss. Let me explain why.
First is the fact that Oregon has yet to be counted into today’s results. Indications at this […]

Iran: What should America do?

admin @ May 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
So in the 4th day of the start of the unofficial race between Senator McCain and Senator Obama the barbs are continuing to hit their marks. Of course the start of the race lies with President Bush.
It must be said that President Bush was wrong as he spoke overseas. A U.S. President […]

Senator Clinton Wins – Sorry I Misspoke

admin @ May 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
I almost feel bad for Hillary Clinton, almost but not quite. And I say this because in the Indiana primary Hillary holds a lead of 4 percentage points over Senator Obama with 88% of the votes counted at the time of this post. It’s sad because Hillary was expected to have a […]

Full interview of Senator Hillary Clinton

admin @ May 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
Before I continue to critique Senator Clinton, her lies and misconcieved half-formed plans I thought I might present her full conversation with Bill O’Reilly. This way I can just go over all the issues at once.
Indiana and North Carolina please keep in mind all my prior posts (which you can get from […]

Written by Michael Vass
Well the first part of 4 videos on Bill O’Reilly and Senator Hillary Clinton is now done. It’s taking forever to get all the videos downloaded to YouTube.
Here is the first part of their conversation

Now here are my thoughts:
One of my biggest problems with what bill O’Reilly didn’t […]

Will Senator Hillary Clinton denounce Bill Clinton?

admin @ April 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
In yet another display of racial insensitivity and polarizing commentary we have former President Bill Clinton making statements the other day. Now I want to make something clear up front, that every pundit I have read so far has avoided on this latest issue (and which could be applied to previous ones). […]

Using Rev. Wright for political gain

admin @ March 18, 2008 # One Comment

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

admin @ March 14, 2008 # 2 Comments

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

admin @ March 13, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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

admin @ March 13, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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

admin @ March 11, 2008 # One Comment

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

admin @ March 11, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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

admin @ March 11, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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

admin @ March 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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?

admin @ March 4, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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

admin @ March 4, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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 […]

The Ohio Democratic Presidential debate

admin @ February 27, 2008 # 5 Comments

Written by Michael Vass
My initial impressions of the Democratic Presidential debate in Ohio are that this is turning out to be quite a match. So far Senator Clinton has been quite forceful in trying to make a stand on universal healthcare, and to a lesser extent Iraq. NAFTA was a sore point.
I found her whining […]

Democratic Presidential candidates tactics and behavior

admin @ February 25, 2008 # One Comment

Written by Michael Vass
I love this line,
“Let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.” - Senator Hillary Clinton to Senator Barack Obama in a speech.
It’s only in politics where one candidate can complain about the actions of another while using racial attacks, smears, and religion (all indirectly) to attack […]

Senator Clinton fights for Ohio, Texas Primary wins

Written by Michael Vass
For those that thought Senator Hillary Clinton was going to just give up in her bid to become the Democratic nominee, stop celebrating. In moves that are ranging from complete racial ignorance, to actual issues she is trying to reverse her position on, Clinton is holding on with claws firmly dug in. […]

Senator Obama expands lead after Wisconsin vote, Clinton in trouble

admin @ February 20, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Written by Michael Vass
Senator Obama has swept even more states and continued his streak of victories with 58% - 41% crushing win in Wisconsin and an embarrassing 76% - 24% clobbering in Hawaii. While the final tally has yet to be finalized Washington State stands at 50 - 47 with 57% of the vote counted. […]
