Ramblings of a Jackhole

You know one when you see one!

Outgoing President George W. Bush quietly boarded his helicopter and left for Texas , commenting only: “Today is not about me.  Today is a historical day for our nation and people.”

Outgoing President Bill Clinton scheduled two separate radio addresses to the nation, and organized a public farewell speech/rally in downtown Washington D.C. scheduled to directly conflict with incoming President Bush’s inauguration ceremony.

President Bush left office without issuing a single Presidential pardon, only granting a commutation of sentence to two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting a convicted drug smuggler.  He did not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner.

President Clinton issued 140 pardons and several commutations of  sentence on his final day in office.  Included in these were: billionaire financier, convicted tax evader, and leading Democratic campaign contributor Marc Rich; Whitewater scandal figure Susan McDougal; Congressional Post Office Scandal figure and former Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; convicted bank fraud, sexual assault and child porn perpetrator and former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds; and convicted drug felon Roger Clinton, the President’s half-brother.

Clinton and Gore staffers ripped computer wires and electrical outlets from the White House walls, stuffed piles of notebook papers into the White House toilets, systematically removed the letter “W” from every computer key pad in the entire White House, and damaged several thousand dollars worth of furniture in the White House master bedroom.

Dear Mr. Obama,

In a speech you said the following:

We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Mr. Obama, what exactly does a civilian national security force that receives $1 trillion in tax payer dollars a year do?  Is it true that you’re planning on naming it the Security Squadron force?  Mr. Obama, would your SS force be armed, so they’d be called the Armed SS Force? Mr. Obama, maybe calling the “Waffen” SS would make it easier for it to be accepted by those in certain countries overseas? Mr. Obama, what would one have to do to become part of your SS force, would you require strong personal commitments to certain ideologies and would ones racial heritage be a factor in membership? Mr. Obama, will your SS force monitor what’s going on inside our nation and in our military? Mr. Obama, have you picked out any cool logos for your SS force? If not, maybe some lightening strike will help with that.

Dear Mr. Obama,

How can you support Raila Odinga who is promoting violence in Kenya after losing a legal election.    You know Mr. Odinga as your cousin. He is promoting nationwide violence after losing a legal election.  Kenya was a stable nation until after Odinga lost.  Now Christians are being hunted down and killed, their churches burnt to the ground.  Odinga became popular following promising to distribute the country’s wealth “more equally.”  Odinga was endorsed by Kenya’s Muslim minority after signing an agreement with the National Muslim Leaders Forum, a radical Islamic group, in 2007 where Odinga agreed to institute Islamic law in Kenya and to end cooperation with US’s war on terrorism. 

Mr. Obama, why did you campaig for Odinga in 2006 while a member of the US Senate and as recently as Dec. 2007. Mr. Obama, would you try to do the same thing if you lose the election?
