War is peace, up is down.

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* If name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that Registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state
of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious Law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, that makes it much more clearer now…

It's OK, he is a war hero.

John McCain called for a meeting with the President and the leadership of both parties, this meeting included Barack Obama. Early in the day, it was reported a deal was reached, but after McCain’s meeting, which was characterized as “a step backward,” uncertainty once again prevails.
I just read that Washington Mutual was seized by the FDIC and its deposits taken over by JPMorgan. I take great comfort in knowing that John McCain is on the job insuring that the bail out will succeed. Really it doen’t matter how bad he screws things up, because he served his country with valor. I think bank failures are a small price to pay for his service to our country. If half of the banks in this country fail and most Americans lose a big portion of their retirement, it still is a small price to pay for everything he has done for this country.
I would go as far as to say that if we wake up and we have the inflation of Zimbabwe, it is still ok, because John McCain is a maverick, he is doing what he thinks is best. And who am I to question his political grandstanding? We need real leadership, and it is obvious that he is the one to lead us. He may not know about all of this funny business going on with the economy, but he is tough on terrorists and he can reach across the aisle.
John McCain know how to get things done. Though, it is reported that he didn’t have anything to say at the meeting that he called which resulted in chaos. I am sure he was just waiting for the right moment. Tomorrow I am sure the market will lose five hundred points, but it is all well and good, because John McCain is going to make something happen any moment. He will probably do so and still have time to go and debate Barack Obama.
Don’t worry, this situation is well in hand. John McCain is presiding over the whole affair. And hey, doesn't Sarah Palin live next door to Russia?
