Just some thoughts on the current media hype about Christine O’Donnel, and Obama’s smear campaign against John Boehner. First, I don’t know O’Donnell, and I am not familiar with Delaware, other than driving it through it many times on my way to fish on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
As I read through the media’s negative reporting about how “wacky” she is, I was struck by what seemed to be a very normal, average person, in fact; much more so than the majority of professional politicians that are wrecking the country. I mean the most frightening complaints the left can come up with are, that she left college to work, and returned to finish her degree later, which strikes me as a quite admirable accomplishment, also, she was $10,000 dollars in debt. How many Americans can relate to that ?
Obama recently has ecome obsessed with John Boehner, possibly even seeing him in his sleep “That’s the cracka I be seein in my sleep”, Democrats have started a BeatBoehner.com website that claims he spent $1 million on “luxury hotels, exclusive golf resorts and gourmet dining for himself and his fat-cat contributors”and maybe here is why.
Boehner’s classic pull yourself up by the bootstraps, American dream story stands in stark, horrifying contrast to the out of touch, privileged backgrounds of Obama and the Democrats.
Mr Boehner, 61, is the second of 12 who grew up in a German-Irish family in Reading, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati. All but two of them still live within a few miles of each other.
Two are unemployed and most of the others have blue-collar jobs. The future Congressman started work as a janitor and took seven years to get his degree
the first in the family to do so – because he had several jobs to pay his way. He joined a plastics and packaging company, rising to president before entering local politics by being elected to the town board.
It is a nice portrait of a man whose upbringing and youth were nowhere near as privileged and insulated as Barack Obama’s, Mr Boehner has actually held a job.
