Mr. and Mrs. America. By Uncle Monty.

Mr. and Mrs. America.
By Uncle Monty.
`'`
In their bid to ascend The Oval Office on November
4th, 2oo8, John McCain and Sarah Palin are, to me,
simply “Mr. And Mrs. America.” For they represent
America’s deeply conservative and traditional attitude
toward their own country and of the wider world to
which colours their right-of-centre political mindset
and espoused Christian views.
`'`
Despite all the savvy rhetoric and world fame of
America’s wannabe first black president, Barack
Obama, Mr. And Mrs. America have already put
him to rout along with his internet cadre of puffing
and pushy grassroots liberal donors and nationwide
Democratic party supporters. At least for now,
Obama is singularly cornered by
Mr. and Mrs. America.
`'`
U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona and Alaskan
Governor Sarah Palin are the Republican presidential
candidates for president and vice-president against
their Democratic rivals U.S. Senator Barack Obama of
Illinois and U.S. Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware.
`'`
The Obama camp was caught with their pants and knickers
down when by sheer political fluke and fortunate good luck,
John McCain picked the unknown Sarah Palin as his running
mate. She became overnight a political sensation and made
the democrats jump into their own seeping sewage like never
before at this 2oo8 U.S. Presidential Election to replace the
vile and vulgar eight-year Republican presidency of Iraq
War instigators George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney.
(Just moments ago, as I write this, 7 more U.S. soldiers
were killed in an helicoper crash in southern Iraq.
The U.S. has now lost over 4.500 American service
man and women in their own Iraq War. While at the
same time, tens of thousands of Iraqis and others have
been slaughtered, maimed, displaced, arrested and/or
imprisoned by the murderous U.S. military forces
of vile Bush and vulgar Cheney).
`'`
Personalities are as much to do with national politics as
are the issues of the day. Barack Obama has obviously
a great personality and is much gifted, but I’m doubtful
if it will be enough for him to win the American presidency
aside from the ever present uphill reality of race that confronts
him as an American black seeking the highest office in the land.
And, then to become one of the most powerful men in the world
if so elected as president of the United States of America.
American black power will then have truly come of age, quite
literally ... under would-be President Barack Obama. I don't
think Americans are prepared for that, not just yet ...
`’`
Plus, Obama's running mate Joe Biden couldn’t be more
boring and uninspiring if ever I saw one. Perhaps that’s
why Joe has lost, both times I think, in the past to become
president himself. Although, my London-based African-
American friend Cliff Henderson from Chicago tells me
he’ll vote as much for Biden as Obama because Biden is
an American Catholic much like is Cliff. Religion obviously
plays a provocative role, too. But that's another touchy and
tackling question that’s isn’t part of this present posting
of mine on “Mr. And Mrs. America.”
`'`
If we now look at Sarah Palin’s personality there is
a brutal and unvarnished honesty about her personal
and political persona that has caught and fired-up the im-
agination of mainstream conservatives and Republicans
in America. She’s the very opposite of Obama, who has
done the same thing for his mainstream liberal and
Democratic supporters around the world in the recent
past. But he has lost much of his footing since the “Palin
Torpedo” came from nowhere …. And has unpolitely
smacked him right in the ass while his liberal
pants were dangling down ...
`'`
I'll have more to say, from time to time, before
the upcoming Nov. 4th, 2oo8, U.S. Presidential
Election with "Mr. and Mrs. America" being the
focus of my comments and open thoughts ...
`'`
See ya, Uncle Monty.
+Ember Day, 2oo8.
