No Wonder I Can't Stand Obama

when he waxes eloquent over somebody like Reagan yet thinks FDR was "irresponsible."

No wonder the Democratic Party is on the ropes with such a "leader."

Is Tiger Woods' wife to blame for his accident the other day when he first ran into a fire hydrant then into a tree with his SUV?

Reportedly his wife saw reports, presumably from the National Enquirer, her husband was having an affair with one Rachel Uchitel, 34, but Uchitel has denied ever having any affair with him and calls the reports "bullshit."

National Enquirer:

The ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its print edition that the 34-year-old brunette, who has a reputation for dating married celebrities, has been telling friends about a jet-set liaison with 33-year-old Tiger that began in June.

Multiple sources, who passed polygraph tests, say Rachel told them that she and Tiger also stay in touch during his frequent travels through phone calls and "sexting," sending each other racy text messages on their cell phones.

One close friend of Rachel's -- Ashley Samson -- told The ENQUIRER: "Rachel told me, 'I'm having an affair with Tiger Woods. We're in love!'"

And while Rachel emphatically says she's no home wrecker, she recently had a disastrous affair with David Boreanaz, the star of Bones. The affair even continued while his wife was pregnant and was reported exclusively by Star magazine.

So despite Rachel's protestations, the ENQUIRER amassed plenty of evidence for its story and is now releasing part of it.

Rachel, an events planner and former director of VIP operations at the NYC nightclub Grffin, has attempted to distance herself from the growing scandal in several comments made to media in the last 24 hours, including to the Associated Press, New York Post and New York Daily News.

But The ENQUIRER can show how Rachel's denials are full of contradictions!

Although Vice President Joseph Biden appears to be all but invisible, this article says he is the second most powerful vice president in American history.

The reason he appears to be invisible to people like me is because he is spending most of his time on foreign affairs, of which he is an expert. I too believe he should have been president.

In any case, he's probably the most powerful VP, for Dick Cheney wasn't really VP anyway--he was actually the president while little George was little more than a figurehead.

Political Commentary

Don't count on Obama (or McCain, for that matter, should HE win), to be another FDR. The economic mess, which began under Reagan's Friedmanite mania and continues unabated, requires different fixes.

Just don't count on Obama to do it.

Campaign Notes.

Because there was no spin good enough to get around the fact Hillary Clinton did poorly on Tuesday night's debate, her backers are trying to undo the damage.

Unfortunately, it is going to get worse for her as the caucuses and primaries get closer. She hasn't done that well in recent debates; I believe the rigors of campaigning have taken their toll.

Anyway, I have made it very clear this election is too important to nominate someone who many, many voters will not vote for, no matter who the GOP opponent is.
