Forget ‘Bitter.’

I decided to skip watching that little debate between Clinton and Obama today, okay so maybe I just wanted to watch my San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but really… I’m getting tired of all the talk about Obama being and elitist and calling people bitter.

I just don’t understand how it makes him bitter. I really don’t.

Maybe I’m wrong, so maybe someone could tell me… but I don’t get it.

I’ll relate it to this: I’d call Red Sox fans bitter… or okay, they were bitter before they won these two World Series recently. They’d always mess up somehow against the Yankees and watch the Yankees pull it off, at least most of the time.

Red Sox fans were bitter, it was one of the reason they hated the Yankees.

Actually, it’s more like common sense. People get bitter when they’re struggling. It happens, nothing to be ashamed of. I don’t understand how that made Obama elitist.

Me thinks Clinton is getting a bit on the desperate side.

And maybe I’m not a politico… but I’m just getting tired of this getting dragged on, and on, and on. I just want Obama to wrap this up so I can concentrate on this national election.

Sure, I’ll fire up Google News and read about the latest happenings, but I’m not going to follow every detail like I did around Super Tuesday.

Oh, and Go Sharks. If you don’t like hockey you should really watch just one playoff game. They really are something special.

GOP YouTube Debates a doozy.

Just a couple days ago the Republicans had their very first YouTube debate on CNN, and boy did they go after each other.

Numerous heated exchanges were the highlight of the debate, with McCain and Romney battling it out over torture and Romney and Giuliani duking it out over ’sanctuary mansions’ and the claim that Romney employed illegal immigrants.

Two people stood out of the debate and the rest made me cringe. Huckabee is a great talker and is easy to like, even though I don’t totally agree with his policies the way he talks makes me understand why he thinks the way he does. The others, like Mitt Romney, just rub me the wrong way and make it seem like they’re ‘double talking.’ Romney’s response to whether he supports homosexuals serving openly in the military was one such example.

Another one that stood out was Ron Paul. He seemed like the only thinker at the debate and he had the best points and arguments in my view.

The Republican side is a mixed bag to me, one on hand there’s candidates like the flip flopping Romney, Bush #2(McCain), and The One Who Relies on New York(Giuliani) and then there’s Huckabee and Paul.  I would not be surprised to see either pick up the nomination, especially since they’re the only ones who performed well at the debate. Well, at least in my eyes.

By far, the worst showing was by Romney. Not only for the attacks by his opponents, which he didn’t defend well. Not only for his constant flip flopping. Not only for his response to the homosexuals in the military question. But also for how he answered the question about black on black crime in urban America: black people just need better parents.

Yes, that’s essentially what he said, and honestly… it’s absurd that he thinks that. Maybe he should have listened one of the twenty times Giuliani explained how he lowered the crime rate in New York City.

Democratic Debates and Pakistan

Debating Democrats

On Tuesday the Democrats were at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA  with another debate in which many people were expecting fireworks. Prior to the debate Senator Barack Obama said he’d be getting more aggressive with Senator Hillary Clinton and did he deliver.

Not only did he deliver, but Senator John Edwards seemed to be the most aggressive one on stage on Tuesday night. Although he seemed to be going too far at times, sometimes going after her character itself. It was important for Clinton to get attacked a bit that night, and especially important for Obama and Edwards, but as Governor Bill Richardson put it, it seemed like they were just attacking her character and she may have won some sympathy votes.

As for who won the debate, I believe Obama had the best performance. He attacked Clinton but didn’t attack her too much, which he needed to do to show that he can stand up when he needs to. Clinton stumbled when confronted with the issue about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, which is a horrible idea by the way.

I really do wish that Joe Biden  had a better chance of being the Democratic nominee, but it doesn’t look good. Though he should be considered by everyone in about sixty four days, I heard at least three times someone say “I agree with Joe,” or “Joe is right.” He really hit the head with one specific thing though…

Pakistan is the biggest threat to the United States… not Iran.

Joe Biden hit the head when he said that. Iran does not have nuclear weapons yet, while Pakistan does. Pakistan really is out of control. There have been multiple bombings there that have been linked to the Taliban and even Al Qaeda. Now, please tell me. What’s a bigger threat? Iran wanting nuclear weapons or Pakistan having nuclear weapons while unstable. On MSNBC.com they reported that there might be a state of emergency in Pakistan. It really doesn’t come close. Hopefully the media catches on to what Biden said and digs into that story a bit deeper.

Keep your eye out on the news. Pakistan seems to be falling apart.
