If you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle—Sun Tzu
There was an anticipated 10 percent bounce in Barack Obama’s poll numbers after the announcement of his vice-presidential candidate, and the ensuing convention of the Democrats. Obama’s poll numbers actually dropped, and McCain took over the lead, still within the margin of error, but still no bump for Obama. Then a +1 bump after Bill and Hillary’s speeches, but still within the margin of error, according to the Rasmussen Reports. There is still the possibility of an upward movement in the polls for Obama after the close of the convention.
So what happened?
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, on their most fiscally lucid day, are economic illiterates. And will continue to purvey their nescience of economic voodoo into their administration if elected to the presidency. All the while trying to convince a thriving nation that it is in the throes of dystopia.

| Tags: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Oil Companyh profits, windfall profit tax Three hundred million people in the United States of America and the best the Democrat Party could produce is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for president. One is a conspicuously pathological misstater, the other an arrogant, elitist Marxist–completely void of any discernible rationalization, nor pedigree, for such a disposition. The Republican Party, on the other hand, did produce far better conservative choices than John McCain, but a less than democratic nominating system, for either party, resulted in the early demise of more promising candidacies.
Hillary Clinton was hospitalized this morning apparently suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
The Hillary Clinton Machine continues to tout the experience that would make her the most qualified candidate over her inadequately qualified competitors vying for the Democrat presidential nomination. Yet she has rarely spoken, other than generalities, of any specific qualifications she has acquired in her storied career that make her the most qualified.
It would only take a rudimentary knowledge of recent history or a basic search to substantiate the fact that she has never endeavored in a high executive capacity; she has never managed anything of any consequence; she has very little aggregate experience in the Senate. She actually has less practical experience than most of her rivals that would qualify her as Commander-in-Chief.
Hillary Clinton is calling for the head of democratically elected Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq. This Marxist lapdog is oblivious to the fundamentals of the democratic process. She obviously has D.C. politics confused with democracy. If her methodology of the workings of the democratic process’s application in Iraq were applied in the U.S., 80% of the U.S. Congress would be replaced for “being nonfunctional and unable to produce a political settlement.” She had this to say about Maliki:
WASHINGTON (CNN) – White House front runner Hillary Clinton called for the ouster of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Wednesday afternoon, hours after President Bush expressed confidence in the embattled leader.
“The Iraqi government’s failures have reinforced the widely held view that the Maliki government is nonfunctional and cannot produce a political settlement, because it is too beholden to religious and sectarian leaders,” the New York senator said in a statement given exclusively to CNN’s Jessica Yellin.
Clinton went on to say she, “hope[s] that the Iraqi parliament will replace Prime Minister Maliki with a less divisive and more unifying figure when it returns in a few weeks.”
Clinton is under fire from some of her Democrat Presidential rivals and is being hammered by the left wing bloggersphere for admitting the surge is working, but she also stated that there is “not a military solution in Iraq.” Her statements came during the same week that the surge’s troop deployment reached 100%.
The surge has made documented progress even though it has been operating at less than 100% until this week. The progress of the surge can only expand going forward. More of Clinton’s inane and robotic rhetoric:
“Progress will only come from political reconciliation and compromise from the Iraqis themselves,” she said in the statement. “Given that reality, the President’s escalation strategy is not succeeding.”
The mathematical irrelevance of her comments by the numbers:
Prime Minister al-Maliki’s approval rating hovers at 50%.
A new Gallup Poll finds Congress’ approval rating the lowest it has been since Gallup first tracked public opinion of Congress with this measure in 1974. Just 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 76% disapprove, according to the August 13-16, 2007, Gallup Poll.
Survey shows just 3% of Americans approve of how Congress is handling the war in Iraq. This survey had a margin of error of 1 1/2%.
Representative Clyburn, the third-highest ranking House Democrat, summed up the Democrat’s true attitude concerning the war in Iraq with this statement: “it would be a real big problem for Democrats if progress is made in Iraq.” Not a problem for the insurgents–just the Democrats.
If the U.S. had a program similar to the foreign exchange student program, perhaps we could swap Maliki for Clinton. She could then implement the socialist state she wants so badly with a country that virtually has a politically clean slate. Maliki could get a good look of what the democratic process looks like when a politically motivated Congressional cesspool has a strangle hold on it.
