Recently Jessee Jackson made headlines by attacking Presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Obama. Read the Jesse Jackson attack article.
It seems according to Jackson, that Senator Obama issued a "too" weak response regarding the case in Jena, LA where 6 young African-Americans are being charged for beating a young caucasian male. The incident is extremely racially charged from both the past and present, and it is very difficult to get to all of the facts at this point. The problem is finding the truth through all of the misreports, lies, misstatements, etc. It is a real mess. And as far as we're concerned Senator Obama took the right approach. But, Jackson was not happy with the Senator's approach and called him out on it by reportedly saying that Obama was "acting like he was white".
I can easily understand Jessee's position defending the 6 young African-American males because of all of the information that has come out concerning what lead up to the incident, what actually took place, and how the boys were charged. Even after his involvement with the Tawana Brawley incident in New York, where we firmly believe there was manipulation of the facts and lying for race baiting and grandstanding.
But what Jessee Jackson said about Senator Obama was vile, classless, tactless, and yes, stupid! Jessee Jackson owes Senator Obama and the "white" people of this country an apology!
What does acting "like he was white" mean anyway Jessee? What a joke! He has committed what anyone else would have been charged with fraud on his Rainbow Coalition tax filings and gotten away with it. He has extorted money out of USA corporations and has gotten away with it. Speaking of acting a certain way, we think you're acting too much like a bigot Jessee!
As a matter of fact, Senator Obama has moved up a few notches in our eyes because he hasn't attempted to use this tragic affair as a way to manipulate his image and for PR points. And, we're not sure exactly what happened down in Jena, LA, but that town has some serious work to do. Having a "White Tree" on school grounds where only whites could sit under it is a throwback to a time none of us should ever want to repeat. It is extremely crude, offensive, inhumane and barbaric, and according to pretty much all reports was something that was going on up until last year, which helped build up the tension to the incident.

Don't These Idiots Know What Is Going On? Well, We'll Tell Them
One of the latest political articles by Reuters is titled Bush, Congress at record low ratings: Reuters poll . The article goes onto state that according to the latest Reuters/Zogby poll only 29% of Americans approve of President Bush's work, while only 11% of Americans approve of Congress' work. The article goes onto discuss a new Reuters pol, The Reuters/Zogby Index, which supposedly measures the mood of the country. According to the latest Reuters/Zogby Mood Index the country is in a bad and depressing mood.
News Flash: We already know! Why is this so surprising or even newsworthy? Thank you for telling us the obvious!
And why shouldn't we be in a bad mood? We have an electorate that is completely out of touch with the general public, and is filled with hucksters and charlatans. We have the major news media that is becoming more biased and incompetent with each passing day. We see that the Federal Government is pretty much inept at pretty much everything. Note to self: when a government body cannot build 600 miles of fence in 12 years they are a joke! We have a President that once he makes up his mind will not change it for pretty much any reason (can you say tunnel vision?). We're in a war that has no easy outs and if we don't find a good exit strategy we could over there for a really long time no matter what the ridiculous Dems are saying (they know the truth and are simply playing political games while they can). Illegal immigrants are running amok costing the country hundreds of billions of dollars for schooling, health care, social services, etc., and our politicians won't do anything about it because the Republicans are trying to please the major industries who profit from their cheap labor, while the Democrats are trying to build up a huge voting block. We're being sold out by both parties on all fronts with only useless platitudes to hang on!
To make matters worse, we're facing another huge finance mess in the mortgage industry thanks to the government not doing its job of regulating it. All of the idiots that went crazy on low interest ARMS and second mortgages because they couldn't control their spending, now want us to bail them out, as do the greedy and stupid mortgage lending execs that lent people more money than they could reasonably afford to pay back! Note: these two groups deserve each other and the pain they are going through. And now the brilliant politicos want to bail these people out and then review what happened and make some regulations to keep this from happening again. Another showing of incompetence for all involved.
Then Hillary wants the government to manage a national health care system. A government that pays $800.00 for a toilet seat, a government that builds 78 miles of a 600 mile long fence in 12 years, a government that becomes more and more corrupt every day, a government which underestimates and overspends on pretty much everything. What a disaster is looming on the horizon!
The general voting public becomes more lazy and less informed every day. Making voting decisions on hair color, "he looks honest", "she says that's what she'll do", and every other crazy reason more and more in spite of the easiest access in our history to read and review Congressional speeches, voting patterns, etc. I talk to you. I know you are out there and you are killing us. Hey folks it's the old saying "Don't tell me, show me". If they vote extremely liberal they are liberal. If they vote extremely conservative, they are conservative. Look up their voting pattern, don't listen to what they say. These lazy voters then wonder how these nefarious people got into office. You put them there!
Well, I want to know just what in the h--- do we have to be happy about?! Reuters/Zogby why don't you make up a poll for that?

September 2007 Interview With a Presidential Candidate
In light of the upcoming run for the President, we’ll be featuring fictional stories depicting live interviews with the various candidates running for President. These stories are fictional and any resemblance to reality is purely intentional and used for theatrical purposes.
Now onto this month’s interview with a Presidential candidate.
Now onto this month’s interview with a Presidential candidate.
September 2007 Interview With a Candidate
Argentsia: The interviewer today is yours truly, Argentsia Jones, and today’s Presidential candidate interviewee is none other than Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. First off, thank you Senator Clinton for agreeing to conduct this interview for politicians stink!
Senator Clinton: Argentsia, please do not call me Hillary Rodham Clinton. I’ve dropped the Rodham and I am going by Senator Hillary Clinton during my Presidential run.
Argentsia: If you don’t mind me asking, why the decision to drop the Rodham from your name?
Senator Clinton: I’m trying to look more centrist on my political views to appease those dolts out there in rural America that still believe in the old worn out values of yesteryear. I don’t want them to associate me with my true values and beliefs right now. My handlers all agreed that dropping the Rodham was a good way to start distancing myself from the fanatics in N.O.W. (the National Organization of Women).
Argentsia: I’m sure the audience is amazed at the brutal honesty and directness of Senator Clinton’s response to my first question. Let me explain. The reason for the blunt answer is that Senator Clinton has agreed to conduct this interview under the affects of sodium pentathol, truth serum, and a lie detector test. As a matter of fact, all of the Presidential candidates we’ll be interviewing in the future have agreed to the same. It is the only way we here at politicians stink felt that we could get to the real truth. Now back to Senator Clinton. Senator let’s talk a little about your husband, former President Bill Clinton…
Senator Clinton: That philandering, wandering-eye, manipulative, weasel….
Argentsia: Now, now Senator Clinton, please let me ask my question.
Senator Clinton: Okay, go on.
Argentsia: Now, during your husband’s administration, you took a major part in the health care reform attempt, which ran aground. What did you learn from that series of events?
Senator Clinton: That when you want to change something, you are better off doing it in small steps with confusing laws and support from your liberal supporters in the Judicial system. I won’t make the same mistakes when I’m President. We’ll get our changes for the healthcare system through, even though it may take 8 years to complete the process.
Argentsia: Is it your intention to go to a completely government run health care system?
Senator Clinton: Yes.
Argentsia: But Senator Clinton, all of the true studies of health care systems in countries where it is completely run by the government show that the health care systems are inefficient, financially costly, non-patient responsive and deliver inadequate care and treatment. All of the studies show that the first thing to decline is the number of available hospital beds for the seriously ill. All the studies point out that those with serious illnesses requiring major surgery must go onto a waiting list based on priorities. The ultimate result is a beauracratically bloated and inferior system. Do you dispute any of what I have said about the other state run healthcare systems?
Senator Clinton: No.
Argentsia: Do you truly believe that ours (America’s) would be better run and be able to eliminate all of the problems and inefficiencies of the others?
Senator Clinton: No.
Argentsia: Then why would you propose to implement such a plan?
Senator Clinton: Because if anyone is making decisions concerning the population, it should be the government. Every system is inefficient, and if there is going to be deficeincies, the government should be the one to decide where they are and who suffers. And the secondary benefit it that it will cause much, much more of the population to be dependant on the government further solidifying the power base of the Democratic Party.
Argentsia: Wow. That is a lot to swallow. Well, I’m on a tight time frame and need to move onto the next area of questions. Senator Clinton, there were quite a number of accusations regarding the integrity of your husband’s administrations while Governor of Arkansas and President of the USA, were those accusations true?
Senator Clinton: Which ones?
Argentsia: Well first lets talk about the Whitewater scandal. Did you or your husband know that Jim McDougal was funneling money from Madison Guaranty into Whitewater Development Corporation?
Senator Clinton: Yes.
Argentsia: Didn’t you think the funneling of money would be found?
Senator Clinton: No. If the savings and loan hadn’t collapsed, none of that would have ever seen the light of day. What was really going on was that Jim (Jim McDougal, President of Madison Guaranty) was shuffling money over to Whitewater Development Corp. to make the company float so that ultimately Bill and I would have a large payoff one day without having to invest what was truly required of a 50% partnership.
Argentsia: Was this a type of political payoff for your husband?
Senator Clinton: Kind of. Jim had worked with us in the past on some things and we had helped him out with some things. So it was a little of this, a little of that, and a favor to some friends as well. It should have never gotten to the level it did. If Jim would’ve run his savings and loan better, everything would have been fine.
Argentsia: Onto your cattle futures tradings. It was calculated by experts in the commodities industry that there was only a 1 in 250 million chance that you could have made the investment decisions and calls that were made in that account to result in its performance. Did you actually make active trading decisions regarding the futures and have it ultimately result in turning a $1,000.00 investment into $100,000.00 in only 10 months?
Senator Clinton: No.
Argentsia: What do you mean no? Was this a political payoff?
Senator Clinton: Of course it was. People that have been trading in castle futures and are experts in the commodities industry couldn’t do what was done with that account. If an expert couldn’t do that over the same time frame, how in the heck does anyone expect I could?
Argentsia: Well what then was actually done to make it appear as that was done?
Senator Clinton: There were two accounts being run simultaneously. One for one position, the other the opposite call for each trade. So there was always one account that won the day and produced a profit. The string of profitable and lost calls were “re-worked” through the broker’s records so that all of the winners were in my account, while all of the loser trades were moved over to another “working” account and swallowed by a benefactor. Thus it appeared that I made some brilliant trading moves unseen before or after my short stint in futures trading.
Argentsia: Jeez, the answers and what we are finding out in this interview are amazing, and disconcerting. I would like to dig more but I must move on as my time is short. What was the real reason behind Filegate (where the Clinton Whitehouse staff obtained FBI files and records on many of their political enemies)?
Senator Clinton: Oh, we were getting dirt on all of our political enemies, and friends too. We needed the information so we could use it to keep control over them and shut them up. You just never know when you’re going to need to talk someone into keeping quiet.
Argentsia: Oh my god! So it is true? You actually used the information to coerce people into being more cooperative?
Senator Clinton: Lets say persuade. And, we didn’t have to use any of the info; we just had to begin a dialogue where we would threaten that the less than flattering information might come out. Why else would we need all of those FBI files? You can get good background information pretty much anywhere these days, but real good dirt is hard to come by.
Argentsia: But, the press, why didn’t the press go harder after this story?
Senator Clinton: Come on now be reasonable. Every rational person understands that we control a good bit of the major media. We’re a team and these folks want to see us succeed. Why else would they give us continued free passes on extremely controversial issues time after time?
Argentsia: What about Pardongate? Were the Pardons your husband did towards the end of his administration dirty?
Senator Clinton: What do you mean dirty?
Argentsia: Were they done to return political favors or for raising money?
Senator Clinton: Some were, and some weren’t. We tried to paint a broad brush to confuse people with the number and breadth of the pardons, and in spite of those efforts and the press being on our side, there was still some fallout.
Argentsia: How many of the pardons were bought and paid for?
Senator Clinton: I really don’t remember the actual number, but there were quite a few. It was a huge fundraiser for us.
Argentsia: And I guess the press laid off because…?
Senator Clinton: We asked them to.
Argentsia: While we’re on the subject of political fundraising, let’s talk about the Chicoms (Chinese communists) …
Senator Clinton: Old friends willing to help out a friend …
Argentsia: So, you are saying that you are well acquainted with these folks?
Senator Clinton: Oh yes. We’ve worked with them for years.
Argentsia: Did they help bankroll your husband and are they now aiding your Presidential bid?
Senator Clinton: Yes and Yes.
Argentsia: Is Norman Hsu a front man for the Chicoms?
Senator Clinton: Absolutely. We need someone to help in re-routing the money and clean it up.
Argentsia: But, Senator Clinton, Norman Hsu was caught!
Senator Clinton: Yes, we lost that one and $850,000, but the others are still good.
Argentsia: Others? Do you mean to tell us that there are other front men for the Chicoms to “clean up” money for your Presidential run?
Senator Clinton: Do you think we would funnel all of the money through one source? We know what we’re doing.
Argentsia: Exactly how many are there?
Senator Clinton: I’m not sure. Other people in our campaign see to the details.
Argentsia: Were Johny Wong and Charlie Tre the front men for the Chinese money for your husband’s campaigns as others have thought?
Senator Clinton: Yes.
Argentsia: Why have the Chicoms been so generous with the donations?
Senator Clinton: We just helped them out on a few occasions and they are very generous. All we did was help speed up the process for them to obtain certain technologies from us.
Argentsia: When you say you helped them out, do you mean you and your husband’s people helped them to illegally obtain our highly protected missile guidance and nuclear technology?
Senator Clinton: Well…yes, but I wouldn’t put it like that.
Argentsia: But Senator Clinton that information should have never been given to a foreign power. How can you justify the transference of it?
Senator Clinton: Oh come on. They would have developed it or stolen it some other way eventually. We might as well make some friends and raise some money along the way rather than let the opportunity be lost. Besides, we believe that no country should have a technological military advantage over any other, including our own. It’s for the good of the world. A good equal balance in technology means no big bully.
Argentsia: But Senator Clinton, your job as President is not to worry about the good of the world, just the good of the United States, and when technology is equal the advantage goes to the country with the largest military (the most soldiers to employ and potentially lose). Hands down that advantage goes to China. If they possess the same technology as ours, they will have a huge military advantage. You and your husband aided a huge potential enemy.
Senator Clinton: Oh, they will never attack us. They are a peace-loving people. No, we did the smart thing.
Argentsia: How can you call them peace loving when they killed thousands of their citizens in the Tiananmen Square riot, and threaten to invade Taiwan monthly?
Senator Clinton: Well the Square incident was unfortunate, but Taiwan is a different story. They just want their country to be whole again. I mean come on, can’t you see that.
Argentsia: No, Senator Clinton I cannot. Furthermore, the Chinese have been shown to be involved in a lot of underhanded activities including terrorist organizations throughout the world and they are ruthless.
Senator Clinton: I’m sure that we can deal with them.
Argentsia: I’d like to explore this more, but I’ve been told its time to move on. What we’re learning here today is extremely disturbing………you had mentioned earlier that your husband was a philanderer. That leads me to believe that you knew about his affairs and let them go on. Is that true?
Senator Clinton: No.
Argentsia: No what?
Senator Clinton: No I did not knowingly let them go on.
Argentsia: You did know about them?
Senator Clinton: Yes, who didn’t? Its not like he was discreet or anything. When you go around flashing people that is not considered discreet. Any of the folks around the Governor’s office or Oval office knew what was going on.
Argentsia: Why didn’t you do anything about it?
Senator Clinton: Exactly what could I have done? Any major action would have killed his political power and position, which I needed to ultimately launch my own political career. Taking him out would have taken me out.
Argentsia: So, it was simply a political strategy to stay married and weather the storms?
Senator Clinton: Yes.
Argentsia: You knew about Monica Lewinsky?
Senator Clinton: Yes, like I said before whom in the Oval office didn’t know about his indiscretions? I mean did we know 100% for sure what was going on? No. Was there a heck of a lot of smoke? Yes.
Argentsia: So taking up support for your husband and then later on acting like the wounded spouse was purely an act?
Senator Clinton: Yes. I was doing everything I could to save my husband’s and my political future. I’m confident that America is not ready to elect a divorced woman to the office of President.
Argentsia: They tell me that I’m almost out of time so I have one last question. Aren’t you worried about all of these scandals coming back out and hurting your Presidential run?
Senator Clinton: I’m not too worried. It won’t really be in the major media. Those folks are on our side. History proves that. Talk radio might dredge it all back up, but thankfully, the average American citizen is just not very bright. If it’s not on TV or in the newspaper, they’re not going to believe it. So as long as we keep it off of television, I’ll be fine.
Argentsia: Well that’s it folks. We’ve run out of time. Well, Senator Clinton let me thank you for your agreeing to do this interview. Also, let me tell you that you and your husband disgust me.
Senator Clinton: It wasn’t a pleasure and I will never do anything like this again you little insignificant troll. How dare you ask me all of those questions?
Argentsia: But you agreed to the conditions and so I believed that everything was on the table.
Senator Clinton: It shouldn’t have been. I’d better not have any trouble out of this, or…
Argentsia: Senator Clinton you said that you weren’t really worried.
Senator Clinton: I’m not. I just don’t like stirring up old garbage. You really can’t be certain of what will come out of it. You’d better hope that this doesn’t amount to anything or...
Argentsia: Are you threatening me?
Senator Clinton: Yes!
(Senator Clinton then threw a punch at Argentsia, but like a true gentleman, he just turned his back and walked away).
Well there you have it folks. Our first Interview With A Candidate, and it was certainly an eye-opener. We wonder just how anyone in his or her right mind could vote for Senator Clinton. And, let’s hope there isn’t an FBI file on Argentsia Jones or he could be in some trouble folks.
Stay tuned to this site for more upcoming interviews with Presidential hopefuls.
