The silly campaign is about to get under way

Among the many conservative friends and family that I know (I'm not naming names at this point but you know who they are and they might be you)  there are some who focus on topics regarding the current President of the United States, that have nothing to do with the issues.

Photographs of President Obama not saluting or holding his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem is not an issue.  I can show fifty thousand pictures of him holding his hand over his heart. 

Does anyone realize how many times a President must hear that song?
AND UNLESS ONE IS WATCHING A COMPLETE VIDEO OF THE TIME FRAME IN QUESTION, ONE CANNOT ASSUME THAT A STILL PICTURE IS ACCURATE.

Do you stand up and salute or put your hand over your heart every time you hear the song?

The fact that a photograph is going viral, showing him not doing either gesture, is simply a sign of the times.

The fact that certain people are still insisting that he wasn't born in Hawaii is a silly tool to attempt misdirection away from reality.

Fantasy is a large part of all elections.....espeically Presidential elections.

If in fact he wasn't born in Hawaii, then that might make him the smartest man who ever lived.

ISSUES such as unemployment, job creation, health care and military involvement in other countries ARE IMPORTANT and so far those issues have not entered the arena.

And by the way.....JOB CREATION......might be the most important.

But first we have the silly campaign where both sides start flooding the media with odd propaganda like where people were born and do they actually wear magic underwear?

Usually after the conventions......the real campaign begins.  I suspect that we might have three Presidential debates and one VP debate and I can guarantee you that birth issues and underwear will not be a part of those debates.

I'm  looking forward to the real campaign but I dread the silly one that is about to get underway.   Actually the anti-Obama people have been acting silly for the last three years.

And Democrats need to remember the Bush era.....IT'S ALWAYS MORE FUN TO BE ON THE OFFENSE THAN THE DEFENSE.

It would be extremely beneficial to the sanity of the American voter if all e-mails, and postings on Facebook and Twitter, where limited to issues that matter.

WHAT ARE THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO YOU?

Over the next few weeks I will list the issues that matter to me.....but in the meantime let's get silly.

Does Mitt really wear magic underwear....and has he seen the Golden Tablets?  Did Barack Obama use a different name when he applied to college?

Actually the MAGIC UNDERWEAR story might have legs.

Hummmm
