Spewing

The other day Randy Romero was asking me about whom my presidential choice would be out of the three remaining candidates.    I told him I would vote for Obama.  He responded back with a youtube clip of the minister from Barrack’s church doing a sermon/tirade about white oppression and basically making an ass out of himself.  It has been reported that Barrack has been a member of this guy’s church for 20 years and that he is looked to as a mentor.  I told Randy that he shouldn’t take the bait .

This sort of story is exactly what Hilary and McCain (if it gets to that point) is hoping for to fan the flames of, on the down low of course.  Be scared of the black man, he hates white people he will do all sorts of terrible things to white people if elected and only do things to help blacks.  I mean come on, get real.  Just because Obama goes to the guy’s church, it certainly doesn’t mean he has a carbon copy of the guy’s viewpoints on race.  Is Barrack responsible for what anybody he associates with says?  When you hear Obama speak you don’t get any sort of sense that he has a deep hatred of white people under the surface.  In fact he is the only person in the race that comes across as genuine in what he says.  McCain on the other hand did some more pandering when he recently voted to extend the Bush tax breaks after voting against them in 2001 and 2003, it looks better. 

Let’s play devil’s advocate here.  Let’s say what Randy is suggesting is true.  Obama is actually a racial extremist, what exactly could he do if elected to sabotage white society?  Congress is still going to be primarily ancient, entrenched, lobbyist controlled, white politicians that have to approve any sort of changes that would be proposed.  Obama can’t take the reins and run away with them. 

It’s all just mud slinging plain and simple.  An attempt to place seeds of doubt about a man that does nothing but impress every time he speaks.  I’m ready to take a chance on him.  It certainly can’t be any worse than what we have come to accept as status quo for the last 8 years, a bumbling, ignorant figurehead that is controlled by big money’s hand that is jammed up his ass while he promotes fear mongering and war profiteering.  Obama breaks the mold of any legitimate presidential candidate I have seen since I have been walking the earth.  I’m willing to roll the dice with him.   If Hilary manages to pull enough strings and gets in I’ll be ok with that as well, just not as ok as if it was Obama.  Just as long as it isn’t McCain.  At least Randy didn’t tell me Obama was a muslim too….. people actually believe that shit.

The fence stuff got dropped off this morning.  Ali described to me where it was dropped off and I immediately asked her if she knew if the guy kept the truck off the sprinklers as the weight of a big truck could damage/break a sprinkler head or buried pvc pipe.  Evidently she didn’t give the sprinklers much thought during the delivery but she didn’t think anything was touched.  A mini-argument ensued.  It annoyed me that Ali wouldn’t make SURE the delivery guy didn’t run over the system.  Ali said I should just be there myself if I was so concerned about it.  That stepped things up to another level with me mentally.  Why should I be the only one that is concerned with damage to our property, just like I am the one that 95% of the time has to take the bull by the horns if someone is trying to f us over financially in some regard.   Eh whatever, we both hung up unhappy with the other person.

So this weekend I plan to do some fence work but I don’t think I will go hardcore into it just yet.  I might get a corner or two built.  I need to see the gates that we got, figure out exactly how I want to orient them and exactly where I want to place them.

Tomorrow morning first thing there is a guy coming to draw blood related to life insurance policy we are picking up.  I already have one life insurance policy of my own plus a policy through work which is double my salary.  Ali evidently wants more riches when I die so we are picking up another policy on me as well as a policy for her.  It’s reassuring living with someone knowing they can make a half mil if you kick the bucket.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
