The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

I have always been a staunch republican, but if Obama winning will once and for all silence the pathetic excuses minorities constantly use about how they can't get ahead because our "system is biases toward whites", then I'm voting Democrat this year. If a black man can become President of the United States, then there is NO excuse for any Black or Mexican to be collecting government checks and blaming all their problems on me!

You would think that in 21st century, America would have gotten over her racial devides.

It's the ultra liberal Maxist empty suit that thinking people can't get over. America can't tolerate 1 month of that crapola.

You would think that in 21st century, America would have gotten over her racial devides. Barack Obama is the Dem nominee. Just get over the fact that some of you so called ''christians'' cannot let go of the past. It's a new world. The choice is simple: If you want four more years of Bush policies, vote for McCain. If you want this country to move forward here at home and on the world stage, then vote for Obama.

globalcitizenlinda (6-9-08 9:12 A.M.) said it perfectly.

As a 65 year old, white female, I enthusiastically support Barack Obama and am quite tired of being told by the media that I am part of Clinton's camp. Barack Obama has many admirable qualities, including his integrity, his quiet composure, his magnanimity and his humor, which will make him a stellar president.

Moving in a new direction. Leaving the past behind:

anything or anyone! What we want to hear
now is this,so what does Oprah say about
her Hero Barack Hussein Obama now?

Is the reason that some of the WHITE voters like to say that Obama is HALF-WHITE because it makes it easier to vote for him?

People who think Obama is not going to win this election in a landslide are doing the same thing that the Clintons did which is to under-estimate the talents of Obama and the tenacity of all the supporters who make up Team Obama.

Obama will win WITHOUT a Clinton on the ticket. He will also bring with him a whole number of new voters and hence new Dem political gains at the state and federal level.

We who are members of Team Obama understand the challenge - it was NEVER going to be easy to elect a black "skinny dude" whose names are Barack Hussein Obama. But because we believe in the integrity and quiet strength of Barack, we are determined to see President Obama sworn in for two terms and we are up to the challenge

Yeah, right, unfortunately Rice could not run herself because being a woman, black and lesbian would be a bit too much even for the overachieving Republicans...

I for one am sick and tired of Clinton Supporters talking about Clinton in 2012 and saying they will campaign against Obama so she can run again. You ALL have one part of you equation missing and that is the fact that Obama supporters represent the other half of the democratic party. So do your campaigning against him all you want and cause him to loose and our country to loose but remember this, Obama supporters won't forget or forgive what you all are doing and will make it our mission to ensure that we prevent clinton in 2012 just like you are trying to prevent Obama in 2008

What's gratifying is that Kindasleazy Rice will be unemployed the moment Barack Obama takes office. I hope she ends up homeless living under a freeway in Oakland.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rice-for-president/

some old white guy! You are a man after my heart! As a fellow old white guy, I too am tired of the old politics.

Dick and George squandered away the resources of this great nation for their own personal gain. We will, for decades, be paying the price for their actions. God and history will be their judge.

We need to heal as a nation and repair our relations with those nations that once held us in esteem.

Give me a diplomat! Give me OBAMA!

If some of these nasty racist commentaries are typical for the Clinton crowd, it would explain why they booed when she mentioned Obama. Apparently they only voted for her because no other white person was running.

To Rice basher, just compare the resume of Barrack Obama to Condoleeza Rice. You are entitled to your opinion but make sure your facts are right.

If everyone who wrote a supportive blog for Obama told CNN that they would vote for him, he'd be up 30 points, instead he's up 3....WHERE'S THE BOUNCE???????????!
Maybe the same liberal with a lot of time on his/her hands is writing under assumed names? otherwise, WTB??????????!

Barack Obama "hustled" his nomination. How? Has a democratic nominee, you do not have to report any donors (campaign contributors) under the amount of $200.00 to the D.N.C. Thus, he kept a list of names of all -$200.00 donors and literally bribed the superdelegates. Think about it, when the other dems run for re-election they now have a list of loyal donors to get money from. CLINTON in 2012! McCain = McSAVE! Obama did'nt even leave the church until the 2nd Anti-American pastor came out! WTF?!?! By the way... there are 52 Sundays in a year! He was a loyal member & friend of Jeremiah Wright, that's "at least" over 1,040 Sermons and some Wednesday night sermons! Only Obama could lose the White House for the Dems, only him...

Condi Rice will probably 'endorse' or hope to see a Barack Hussen Obama /Caroline Kennedy ticket in the Dem. party so that she can remain in power as the more experienced Republic politicians win again in November.

I never thought I would see it in my life time...never. A black American receiving the second highest honor in a democratic, free nation - Presidential nominee of a major party. Shirley Chisholm tried. Jesse Jackson tried. Al Sharpton even tried. Barak Obama excelled thus succeeding what others could not in time past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It really boils down to what can they do? Al Sharpton is an idiot. Tawana Brawley??? Jesse Jackson is a good guy but not presidential material. Chisholm was a great Senator, but that was her limit.

Clinton lost and McCain will lose because Obama is a better candidate, has better answers for the problems we face, appeals to more people across the spectrum and has the charisma of a Kennedy.

I am voting for him for all the reasons stated and more. Color to me is meaningless. Don't give me a politician. Give me a leader whom I can follow.

"I am not going to run for elected office, it's not what I do, who I am. I am going to go back West of the Mississippi, where I belong... I really think of myself as a West Coast person."

Rice is a good example of the Peter principle in action. She rose to a level that displays her ineffectivness and now we are stuck with her. After her emabarassing lack of independant leadership in advising Bush she should have resigned when Tenet did and headed west then.

I would have even have given her a Freedom Medal as encouragement to take a bow and get off the stage. She is another reason to question whether W might have actually been given the "abbbie normal" brain and doesn't realize it.

Groundbreaking History

I never thought I would see it in my life time...never. A black American receiving the second highest honor in a democratic, free nation - Presidential nominee of a major party. Shirley Chisholm tried. Jesse Jackson tried. Al Sharpton even tried. Barak Obama excelled thus succeeding what others could not in time past.

I am a black conservative American woman always am voting straight ticket at any election - Republican. During this current process, it made me sit up and take a look at the Democratic Party, front runner candidate - Obama. The man had my attention all during the primaries. He is quick witted, articulate, great listener, diplomatic, well-read, all the things that should embody a president of a free nation. Don't get me wrong, I believe there are many blacks out in American who well educated and carry themselves in a way unlike Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Obama is that man.

To this day, I find it very hard to wrap my head around this groundbreaking news. For so long, in a non-verbal action, black Americans have been told that they could not garner the highest office in the land. For more than 200 years it has been a white man in the White House - no pun intended. Even after gaining civil rights during the 60's, it has been a white man in the White House. Can it be...can it be that America will have its first true black president in the White House.

After June 3, 2008, I held my head even higher than normal - if there is such a thing--because of the changing tide.

Let's gain some perspective on the matter. I am not a black American who goes out to promote "black power" that and "black power" this. I don't run around with the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, Fredrick Haynes, III nor am I a card carrying NAACP member, as I do not foster their ideologies. Could it be...there is a sense of pride in what has happened in the past few days?

Folks,
People are naturally passionate about the issues that endear them. Our cultural heritage both revels and embraces the notion of the United States as a haven for disadvantaged or prejudiced peoples.

That being said, it is an historical notion, and not a current factual representation of immigration laws of this country.

Undoubtedly citizens of the other countries are discriminated, tortured,and killed in un-Godly fashion. It is truly shameful that our civilization rarely, directly confronts needless tragedies in the world, be it the current state of women in the middle east, or Jewish genocide in the 1940's, or other ethnic cleansing in Africa going on today.
No earthly person is going to correct all the injustices seen on this earth. I'll leave that discussion to the politicians and religious leaders.

I neither give credit nor discredit to Condi Rice for her involvement in world politics. Rather, it is her personal accomplishment to have risen from humble origins to an effective national leadership position I give credit to. She may be wrong on point, right on point, or indecisive in nature. She's in the thick of world politics, a truly complex myriad of differing philosophies, and deserves an opportunity to be there.

Dr. Rice is proving that the American dream can work if one is driven enough.
I guess we have gotten off topic, haven't we?
Let's see, where were we???
Have a nice day,
Doc

It is really not posable to blog on here anymore. It is now the equivalent to people writing on bathroom walls and getting some perverse kick out of it. They need some sort of reregistering process.

SAINT RAT:

"I will NEVER support a "Barry" running for an office BECAUSE he is Half-Black(While Raised "White")."

Exactly. The sooner we get past these fake divisions based on skin color, the better off our country will be. Vote for the candidate that best suits your point of view, not because he's "white" or "black".

I know your lack of support for McCain (or the Bush morons) has nothing to his "white"ness.

Thanks for your clarification on the other thread.

Condi thinks she belongs on the west coast.

What Federal prison would she like to stay in?

Read and weep for the Israeli Jews of Gush Katif/Gaza, on whose behalf I wrote this article in July 2005 before their illegal expulsion by the bribed Ariel Sharon and criminal company working for foreign interests. Many of them remain homeless, depressed and basically abandoned by their lying government -- their former homes history, stripped bare and destroyed by marauding Arab enemies who are now fighting among themselves, one terrorist group (Hamas) against another terrorist group (Fatah). Condi Rice worked for ethnic cleansing, aided and abetted terrorism, pressured Israel to enforce Judenrein policies to appease Nazi-Muslims. Condi should be "tarred and feathered" and run out of town, so to speak.
Don't Expel Jews From Gaza!

yeah Condi, sure you can be gratified.
Espicially when he stands in front of AIPAC, and like you, swears allegiance to Israel first.

He's ready to give them $30 billion dollars and new planes. The poor souls have only 200 nuclear warheads. 30 billion, for starters - remember the guy isn't even in the White House yet, and let the uninssured, and homeless suffer in isolation. But Israel must be safe, and, if necessary blow Iran to bits, to make it so.

As a Phd, you well know how long Israel stood by racist South Africa till the end of the appartheid regime. In fact, Israel was the last one on the planet to keep diplomatic ties with them. And do a lot of business with the white racists: weapons, technology, intel,etc...

Shame on you both, selling your souls for 30 silver coins.

President Barack Obama sound good to you?
Sounds good for Africa, Asia or some Arab country - but not for the United States of America. I'm not some silly woman all googley-eyed over Barack Hussein Obama (sounds like Osama, doesn't it?) or some self-hating or misguided white person who feels I must vote for the black man to prove to the racist PC masters I'm not racist. President Barack Obama sound good to you?

Condoleeza Rice has been a complete failure in the Bush administration.

It makes no difference to me if Hillary is on the ticket as VP. I will NEVER vote for Obama because he's unqualfied to be President of the U.S. To vote for Obama is to condone the rampant sexism, racism, classism, disrespect, and voter disenfranchisement he has continually interjected into this campaign along with his campaign, his nasty suppporters and ALL media. Obama is too risky for the Dems to nominate and certainly too risky to be President. Country first, party second. I trust McCain more than Obama.

The Democratic party MUST be held accountable for their failure to denounce it. In fact, the DNC has been complicit in disenfranchising voters in Michigan and Florida. It calls to the mind the ole Jim Crow laws when blacks were considered 3/5 a person. 1/2 votes? 1/2 a person? THIS is far worse. Is THIS the same party I stood with in 2000 and 2004 demanding that EVERY VOTE BE COUNTED? I still have the sticker on my fridge.

To vote for Obama is to abandon all the principles the Democratic party is supposed to stand for. I can NEVER do that. A strong message of NO and a strong defeat of Obama is the ONLY message they will hear. The Democratic party understands two things, money and votes. We have the power to withhold both. Do so.

*You must do the thing which you think you cannot do* Eleanor Roosevelt

*You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it* Maya Angelou

Rise, Women, Rise

Rise, Men, Rise

We MUST say loudly and clearly that we will NOT accept what has been done to Hillary Clinton in 2008. Paybacks are hell, but necessary. If we don't speak out now, WHEN????

What did Dr. Rice accomplish?

That is a hard one to put too many big claims on. Having to deal with all the other Bush Morons MUST have been a Full-time job in itself!

One thing she did do, and well, was to deal and negotiate with World leaders in a manner that brooked NO slights, or Jibes, about the FACT that she was a Woman, or a Woman of Color!

While all the O'Bombasamabots are running around playing the Race Card for their HALF Black Messiah, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, and other FULL BLACKS were already WALKING the WALK, and Shining the TALK!

I can accept a President, Court Justice, Cabinet Member, Congressman, Governor or whatever that happens to be "Black".

I will NEVER support a "Barry" running for an office BECAUSE he is Half-Black(While Raised "White").

Learn the DIFFERENCE you ignorant O'Bombasamabots! ;~)

Hey CONDI lovers,
NAME O-N-E accomplishment she has acchieved - -
Oh I forgot she HAS BEEN a successful "BUSH HACK / LACKEY" and a PUPPET for THE W-O-R-S-T PREZ in U.S. HISTORY ! - - some accomplishment !!!!!!!

I think Obama's nomination signifies more than just a shift in racial thinking in America, but also a shift in race. As we increasingly become a nation of minorities, it is no wonder a minority should become a presidential nominee.

For example, I remember on my last road trip (before gas hit 4 bucks a gallon), pulling into a small town in Oklahoma of all places, and finding a Bollywood station on the radio, which catered to the large Indian population.

Though it is well known there are tensions between certain Asian, Hispanic, and black communities, especially in innercities, it still makes logical sense that minorities from any group would have an easier time identifying with a minority as a president than yet another white man. This, I think, is evidenced by the historically high voter turn out in such aforementioned groups.

Moreover, and please excuse the long post, that many whites who voted for Clinton say they will now vote for McCain, BECAUSE HE IS WHITE, is further evidence that Obama's nomination is not a shift so much in thinking as it is in demographics.

WHERE'S THE BOUNCE???????????????????!!!!!!

-hey Obama, you were supposed to gain 10-15 points once you eliminated Hilary....well, CNN has it 49/46, so WHERE's THE BOUNCE? (you can almost imagine Clara Peller coming back for the campaign....by the way, Clara also wants to know, Barack, WHERE'S THE BEEF?). Republicans are very encouraged by the thud Barack....keep honoring John McCain, even as you criticize a true American hero.

Condi Rice's acheivements are noteworthy in history, and I sincerely believe that's all she is concerned about. History is replete with the notion that politicians are elected and may become figureheads, while the bulk of the accomplishments of a politician are obtained by the work of appointed officials (shades of Henry Kissinger). Dr. Rice can get much more accomplished by staying out of the electoral process and continuing to be of service to her country. Her resume will continue to grow and she will continue to be a heroine to younger black American women and women in general.
I'm 53, and grew up watching the civil rights movement as a child. I remember well the television coverage of the 60's... live, unscripted, un-spun. (Can you imagine watching Lee Harvy Oswald shot live on national TV today? Didn't think so.)
I remember going to college in '73 and seeing my first interracial couple. My, how bold they were! Now, 35 years later, it seems so normal and irrelevant.
History is a good teacher, if one listens to one's teacher.
I'd like to think that in this current day and age that the nomination of Sen. Obama is yes, historical, but more importantly, it is a truly a beacon to the rest of the world that the collective intelligence of the United States has risen above the ignorance and stupidity that has typlified it for so long.
My wife (who is black American by the way), now has this "take" on the seedier side of Americana: "You can't fix stupid". Funny, but she owes that to Larry the Cable Guy. My, how we've come full circle.
Have a great day folks!
Doc

"I really hope Obama wins; I really hope he becomes president
then the blacks, the browns, the pinks, and everyone else can stop their goddamm whining that they're discriminated against" by Cranky Old Irishman

Cranky Old Irishman, White men have always won Presidential elections - WHY ARE YOU STILL WHINNING!!

I don't like seeing C. Rice and Obama lumped together in the same discussion. They are OPPOSITES: The former (Rice) has dedicated her life for evil, and the latter (Obama) for good.

Whites fall into a continuum ranging from evil to good. As this example ilustrates so clearly -- the same is true for backs.

Rice misled Congress on her true views on torture. She approved torture with these words: "This is your baby. Do it."

Here's a video on this. Sign the attached petition to remove Rice from office. She is unfit for polite company, much less for public office.

I really hope Obama wins; I really hope he becomes president

then the blacks, the browns, the pinks, and everyone else can stop their goddamm whining that they're discriminated against

Look, if Obama gets elected, nobody is ever going to be able to say the usual bs again, such as;
Black people are lazy, not very smart, drug addicts, can't speak well, and are lousy at bowling. All of that garbage is going to become grandpa talk.(Oh don't mind grandpa he's just that way...)Regular white guy black prejudice is going the way of 23 skidoo, hep cat, and groovy baby. Right now Barrack Obama is looking like the smartest man in America and in this country, looks are everything. I like the idea of the President looking uncomfortable guzzling beer, I don't require excellence in bowling as a qualification for the white house, and frankly most of the preachers I've met are nuts-o. (Yes, yes, yes, G-sus is coming back to run the government...Thank you lord for better tax law...)If this guy runs the country half as well as he did his campaign(No drama kings or queens...) this country might still have a chance. I pray for his election.

( Cmon, do we or do we not get reparations?)

Are you kidding?!? Obama IS reparations.

Regarding what she accomplished,

When the Chinese were killing Tibetans, the Israelis killing hundreds of innocent Palestinian women and children, the Somalis killing....

Secretary Rice always "urged restraint"...

West siiiiiiiiiide!

Who said anything about reparations? Are the Republications suggesting war reparations for Iraq now?Hell no!!

HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS

( Cmon, do we or do we not get reparations? Don't do us like FEMA, bro! Posted by: David | June 7, 2008 5:50 PM)

There will be no reparations. Not under an Obama administration and not under any other administration, ever. Nor should there be. The events took place a very long time ago. The people who were *directly* affected are all gone now. There is no one alive now who was alive when slavery was last legal. What's more there are very few people who are alive whose parents or grandparents were slaves. Which means that at *best* we are the great or great-great grandchildren of slaves. The direct harm is far removed.

What's more, the day after reparations are paid you can write off any hope for actual progress to be made in becoming one society without the racial antagonism. I guarantee you that if reparations were paid, white folks would look at us black folks and say "What do you mean blacks are being discriminated against in sentencing? What more do you people want? Weren't you just paid $N yesterday? "

None of the above is to say that it's at all fair, merely that there's realpolitik and that view leads to the inevitable conclusion that reparations, whatever temporary financial benefits would be, would be *far* more costly to the status of blacks in America.

Lastly, it's an idea with no future. The sooner we blacks realize that, outside of a fun intellectual toy for when the tequila has you feeling philosophical, reparations is an idea that had a time and that was the 19th century.

Cheers

She wants to go back "Out West"?
I'm not sure where we will be holding the war crime tribunals, but i don't think it will be at Stanford University!

Condi is a very smart woman, but messed up big time with the Bush administration especially during the first term. But you have to give her credit also during the second term she did a superb job as Secretary of State by restoring the tarnished image of US in the world. As secretary of state she has accomplished a lot .....

The world would take notice and treat us with more respect than all of the terms held by the Bushes!

I hope that Doctor Rice will someday run for office herself. She will be reminded of several things which occurred on her watch - such as the 9/11 attacks. Her memory will be refreshed as follows:

"The two-page Presidential Daily Briefing of August 6, 2001 was made public as requested by all members of the panel. Former Watergate Prosecutor and high-powered Democratic lawyer Richard Ben-Veniste took Rice to task during her sworn testimony, demanding that she say the title of the PDB, which was "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US."

Obama will be more conservative than a lot more people expect he will be. He will not turn up to the inaguration wearing a dashiki with is fist raised in the air. He will be in a Brooks Brothers Suit.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I completely concur. Obama will quickly reveal what many of us have sensed from the start - he is more centrist than liberal and more sensible than all the fringe lunatics on both sides of the aisle.

David

Reparations?

Are you serious? No, we don't get reparations. I don't want them. Trust, Obama will be more conservative than a lot more people expect he will be. He will not turn up to the inaguration wearing a dashiki with is fist raised in the air. He will be in a Brooks Brothers Suit.

Condi is noble. Anyone that includes chimpy in there post is not

NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PRAY
THAT THIS DELUSIONAL WOMAN HILL WILL
KEEP HER WORD AND HER AND BILL WILL
NOT TRY TO DO ANYTHING TO EMBRASS
SENATOR O

All this praise for Rice. How soon we forget that she was in the room when they authorized torture of prisoners of war. She is one of the architects of this illegal and unjust war. At least Colin Powell had enough sense to get away from these people.

During the primaries when people said that I voted for Obama because he is black (I am an AA woman), I always justified myself by saying even though Rice was a black woman, I would NEVER vote for her.

Yes, she is going west of the Mississippi, but she should be headed toward the Hague charged with war crimes.

How jealous are we OBAMA/CONDI
I LOVE IT

chi eze, HAHA!!!! aint that right???

She is telling the truth. All you haters, you will get over it.

CR should put in her papers if she feels proud about BO.

You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.

Hounds always make strange bedfellows for non-canine species. It is a pity to be caught in a bind.

the truth is i believe she is a smart woman she just got stuck with one crappy administration and everybody in that administration turns into an idiot

"I am not going to run for elected office, it's not what I do, who I am. I am going to go back West of the Mississippi, where I belong... ..."

Can you name one Condi Rice accomplishment?
Thought so ;)

read more about clinton's speech with highlighted text:

http://thevote.abc13.com/2008/06/hillary-clinton.html

Condi Rice is gratified by giving her gal pal a face ride.

Then she rides the gay-bashing Chimpy campaign to victory.

Closet case Repuke hypocrite. And not the only one either.

she sounds sincere. too bad she sucks.

I never thought of this before...but what about an Obama/Condi ticket. That would definitely bring in the moderate republicans and independents (they love Condi)...make Hilary's fan club not so pissed off by choosing a woman...Black folk won't be mad about it...in fact, it would be pretty damn funny...It would rebuke McCain's attacks on Obama regarding a lack of experience on foreign policy and soft on defense. Actually, it would probably shut McCain up completely! What could McCain/Rove possibly do with this ticket? But it would only work if Condi did a McClellan on Bush and agreed that the war moved forward with knowing faulty intelligence and she would have to bear her soul to all of the American and Iraqi families who lost love ones in this hideous war. But Obama/Condi would really piss off the democratic base...especially the progressive part of the party. It's pissing me off right now as I write it. Never mind. Really bad idea. But it was fun to follow the train of thought and see where it lead. Right to a dead end! Obama/Gore is still my favorite!!

SAINT- You racist blabber has no place in political discourse. While I disagree with Rice on most positions, this was simply a moment of pride in America, and the opportunity it affords everyone. While you may dislike Obama and you have difficulty expressing this dislike without resorting to name calling, he's obviously accomplished more in his short time than you or I could ever HOPE to.

Whoc ares what she thinks - she is the most ineffectual person in government and she knows nothing!

Dr. Rice, SORRY, but you are Sooooooo Wrong!

It is "Barry" the Corrupt "Empty Suit" who OWES YOU, You, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Charlie Rangel, Alan Keyes, and heck, even Jesse Jokeson, GRATITUDE!

It was the GOOD works of the group of all of you, that enabled someone like HIM, to get where he did!

Face it Dr. Rice, You and Colin could have sent Him running Home!

A Powell/ Dr.Rice Team, is STILL my Hope for the future!

Not a Black(Happa Haole) President.

But, A President, and a Vice President, who just so happen to be Darker than average!

Just like the last two Secretaries of State were!

No-"Black" Secretary of State GARBAGE! ;~)

On one hand, she's an incompetent Bushie who is just as guilty as anybody for this damn war. On the other hand, she's the only one in the administration with a heart and half a brain. She's got to be half-decent if she knows that she probably shouldn't be in Washington any longer.

This from the former National Security Adviser during the 9/11 attacks and the Secretary of State during the Iraq Occupation. Ineptitude knows no color. Bush was very good at making vacant gestures. He appointed inexperienced people to very important positions knowing damn well they would be just figureheads. Now, let's see how many militant blacks from Chicago Obama put in charge. At least the likes of Rev. Wright speaks their mind; unlike Obama who speaks and then must clarify (forked-tongue syndrome). What Obama supporters must realize is that this is the only time that a President (potential) will listen to us. Let's get specific. Cmon, do we or do we not get reparations? Don't do us like FEMA, bro!

if she weren't so sickening I would say she meant this, that's the problem when you have to carry the War around like Week-end at Bernies,
