Obama: The Audacity of Hype

The Audacity of Hype with which Sen. Barack Obama presents himself is amazing.

Time and again he's allowed to use numbers and mention policies that just don't add up.

Go to http://wire.factcheck.org/ or http://www.factcheck.org/ to see how his campaign is wrong.

(This objective site lists how McCain is wrong too.)

I'm watching the debate and here's Obama talking like he's JFK--let's double the size of the Peace Corps and get off oil in 10 years, likening it to going to the moon, even mentioning JFK by name.

He's the first AfricAnglimerican to get the nomination from a major party. It's a shame he's the first; bringing in race--talking about: "Oh, and by the way, he's black" and such in a speech warning his followers of what others might say.

Obama says 95% of Americans will not be affected by his tax raises. The number's much lower than that--see FactCheck.org for details. Don't take my word for it. See a source that lists the sources.

Iraq does not have a 79 billion dollar surplus, Obama! Way off!

There's no "pee" in Jalapeño!

So, it seems that, finally, the culprit for all of these Salmonella infections is the jalapeño.

But, if the USDA, FDA and the American news media had it their way, they are blaming it on the so-called "holla-pee-no".

Here's the correct pronunciation--well, sort of: "ha-la-pen-yo!"

Note: (The Spanish "h" is silent, but the "j" in Spanish acts like the "h" in English.) Special note to the media: We do not live in "Hee-doll-go" (Hidalgo) County and there's not such thing as "Hoss-sienda" Ford (Hacienda Ford); again, the "h" in Spanish is silent. Therefore it's "ee-doll-go" (Hidalgo) and "oss-see-en-dah" (Hacienda).

Interesting how Barack Obama calls Pakistan: "pock-ee-ston" instead of the Americanized: Pack-iz-stan.

The tilde (~) above the ñ in jalapeño is a gnuh sort of sound, but "nio" or "nyo" is a lot closer than putting "pee" in jalapeño.

So, wash all raw veggies and fruits before eating. There's all those pesticides and such all over them anyway. For now, they're warning that we not eat raw jalapeños.

I like the veggie/fruit cleaner with a little lemon oil in it. Works wonders.

It's a heckuva way for McAllen to make the national news--it seems a plant here may be one place of origin for the outbreak. Who knows. Anyway, let's leave the "pee" out.
