Presidential Candidate
« Previous EntriesWhat I look for before I vote
Written by Michael Vass
As 2010 mid-term elections drawn near, or at least the election cycle, I thought about what it is I value in an elected representative. And I came up with the following.
1. They realize they are an elected official, thus they work for voters and not the other way around. (Someone might remind Nancy [...]
I was wrong about President Obama
Written by Michael Vass
Recently I have been discussing the Health Care Reform Bill that is before Congress and heavily promoted by the White House. To that end, in an effort to resolve some of the most important and critical questions I have heard, read, and considered I sent emails and physical letters to Sen. Schumer, [...]
Did the Congo kill a Clinton Presidential run in 2012?
Written by Michael Vass
By now everyone has had a chance to laugh at (not with) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her outburst to a question from a student in the Congo. But in case you didn’t see it, here is the video.
I too viewed the whole incident in more of a chuckle than anything [...]
Secretary Clinton still too weak to be noted
Written by Michael Vass
Guess what? Our Secretary of State is still on the job. In case you might wonder who that is, it is still Hillary Clinton. But I can understand how you might not remember her.
Secretary Clinton has been way out of the political spotlight since almost the moment she was confirmed as Secretary [...]
You mean we have a Secertary of State?
Written by Michael Vass
There is one thing I have to say that I like about the Obama Administration. They put Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a box. They have effectively put her aside and shut Former President Bill Clinton up. It’s a feat few politicians have been able to do since either Clinton was [...]
Marilyn Manson performs for Obama: what if it happened?
Written by Michael Vass
Here is something you don’t hear everyday. In fact I just heard about it today. Supposedly Marilyn Manson was going to have a performance that would have been in behalf of President Obama (then Senator Obama). Can you imagine it?
Now the source of that would be performance is Manson’s ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel [...]

Written by Michael Vass
For those that were curious about the results of the polls that were on the sites of M V Consulting, Inc. about the presidential election I have the numbers. These polls were on the site for a year, and visitors were able to vote only once each.
The visitors of the M V [...]
President Obama - the expectations start now
Written by Michael Vass
President Obama has won the 2008 election. I am as elated by that news as any African American or minority in America right now. But at the same time I am looking at what the nation said last night.
At 6pm initial exit poll results started to flow and there were several important [...]
President Obama - America is changed
Written by Michael Vass
President Obama has won the election and history has been created. There is no limit to the feelings some have about this moment, and I have trouble describing my feelings as well.
I have always respected President Obama, though I differ with his views for America. But that is the essence of America. [...]
Presidential election update at 9:30
Written by Michael Vass
So far the votes are on-going, but at least Fox News currently calls the election 200 - 90. With the loss of Ohio to Obama, McCain virtually needs the entire mid-west and west coast to win the election.
While the electoral vote leans strongly to Obama, the popular vote is a near total [...]
First set of exit poll results in the Presidential election
Written by Michael Vass
The early results are starting to come in. At 5:30 the first exit poll results I have heard of (from Fox News) have been announced for Ohio, Indiana, and Virginia. These results are based on 10% of the vote. As with all exit polls there is a tendency to exaggerate Democratic results, [...]
Presidential candidate quotes to start your voting juices
Written by Michael Vass
As we all head out to vote today, and I do urge all my readers that are American citizens to vote, I stopped to notice a couple of the better quotes of this Presidential election. Now I won’t go all the way back to the Primaries, just looking at the McCain and [...]
Time flies before election, questions arise like a wave
Written by Michael Vass
The eve before the Presidential election. And the media is losing it’s mind.
As I was playing in my Monday night 8-ball pool tournament (I’m currently 12 for 12) and happened to look up at the television. It was about 7:30 and on ABC News there was George Stephanopoulos and a reporter. The [...]
Picking a President doesn’t make you more or less Black
Written by Michael Vass
I find it interesting as we come upon the 2008 election to reflect on what has occurred in this year. From the surprising Democratic Primaries up til now there has been a shift in politics that will never be undone. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime, and now [...]
MoveOn.org blames Michael Vass for President McCain win
Written by Michael Vass
I heard about this vide that was being sent across the net and I was just waiting to see how long it would be until I received it. I didn’t have to wait long.
Of course this is a video created by and circulated originally by my friends at MoveOn.org. What lovely people [...]
Senator Obama speaks to nation
Written by Michael Vass
For those that missed it here is the video of Senator Obama’s 30 minute ad.
I will note one thing for now, the only reason this was made and ran on 3 broadcast television networks was because of him breaking his promise to accept public financing.
Rating 4.00 out of 5

Presidential election levity
Written by Michael Vass
You know what? I’ve been following the Presidential election everyday for 2 years now. It’s been serious and informative. It’s been important and annoying. And I am tired.
So for a brief moment of complete levity I present the following videos. Because sometimes we all need to relax from the stress this election [...]
Was Barbara West’s Senator Biden interview fair?
Written by Michael Vass
In response to my post on Barbara West’s interview with Senator Biden I have heard many people excuse the response of Senator Joe Biden, and defend Senator Obama’s flexible tax plans. Even more have chosen to attack or dispute the questions of Barbara West.
First is a fact that this election seems to [...]
Barbara West asks Senator Biden questions - Obama campaign blacklists media
Written by Michael Vass
I recently made a Youtube video where I mentioned several questions that should be asked by each voter before they make their vote. The now famous Joe the plumber had a question that he asked of Senator Obama. Joe has been raked over the coals by many part of the media and [...]
What the Presidential election numbers might be
Written by Michael Vass
Well great minds think alike, and so several writer’s are discussing the chances of Senator Obama maintaining his lead and winning the Presidency. I too have been waiting to discuss this issue, trying to time it to be just in the attention span of most voters. But because this is important I [...]
Before you vote, questions you should have answered
Written by >Michael Vass
The following is a transcript of the video. Just in case you missed something or wanted to quote and/or respond directly.
Over the next few days there will be a slew of television ads discussing the views of each candidate and why you should vote for them. Some will make sense to [...]
Senator Obama can’t compare to President Kennedy
Written by Michael Vass
Senator Biden has recently warned that Senator Obama, and exclusively Obama, will be challenged by international events due to his inexperience if he is elected to the Presidency. He continued to state that the response, to at least 1 of 4 or 5 different scenarios would at least look wrong, and that [...]
How does media bias affect Presidential election
Written by Michael Vass
For as long as Democratic candidates have been mentioning their desire to run for President most of the major media has been promoting them. Going back as far as 2006 the media was virtually guaranteeing Senator Hillary Clinton would be the next President of the nation. Once Senator Obama took the national [...]
Need welfare? Elect Obama
Written by Michael Vass
As talk of the economy and taxes dominate the political pundits, and the Presidential candidates stump speeches, I again wanted to take a look at the reality of the Obama tax plan. In searching for those more intelligent than myself to evaluate the tax plan I came across the Wall Street Journal. [...]
Senator Biden highlights Obama weakness - who is he campaigning for?
Written by Michael Vass
Senator Biden never made sense to me as a Vice Presidential pick for Senator Obama. He has made racist statements, and has made claims to equal the invisible bullets of Senator Clinton. He disagrees with the policies of Senator Obama on key issues, and he has declared (until selected for the VP) [...]
