The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

Maureen Dowd writes in the New York Times that the GOP is gearing up for, "Operation Michelle Obama."

According to Dowd, Republicans will attack Mrs. Obama on two fronts:

* Her lack of patriotism

* She is "Too Black To Be First Lady"

It is possible that that kind of smarmy stuff could have worked a decade or two ago. However, there are two things that should make the Republicans think twice. Actually, there are three things, which I will touch on momentarily. First of all, Republicans need to know that they have the weakest candidate running for President, since Bob Dole. Secondly, once John McCain's record in regards to women is exposed, women in this country will come out of the woodwork in support of Barack Obama. Michelle Obama's skin color, nothwithstanding!

If you review McCain's record on women's issues, you would swear that the man just stepped out of the "Eighteenth Century." So, any woman voting for McCain would be doing so at her own peril. The other thing that the GOP needs to concern itself with is Barack Obama. I know, Rush Limbaugh calls him an "Idiot." But, Rush Limbaugh is not qualified to measure anyone's Intelligence Quotient(IQ). Besides, I think Rush "Has A Man Crush On Obama."

He spends an inordinate amount of time each day, "Discussing Barack Obama." What's going on Rush?

Contrary to what Rush says about Obama, the man is brilliant. Remember, he just "Destroyed" the Clinton political machine. An "Idiot" couldn't accomplish that!

The way that Obama outflanked Hillary and her people, I expect that he will do the same, if the GOP is that stupid to go after the man's wife. Besides, "Michelle Obama Isn't Running For President."

Attacking the woman because she is Black, would bring out record numbers of not only African-Americans, but Whites, Latinos, etc. Americans are tired of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Americans are equally tired of Republicans who pit Whites against Blacks!

Going after Michelle Obama would make the "Beer Heiress, Cindy McCain," fair game. Obama's critics want to know more about him. What do we know about Cindy McCain? How did her family make "Billions" in the beer industry? Are there any ties to the mob?

Going after Cindy, will raise the hackles on the neck of John McCain. The word around D.C. is this man is a walking "Time Bomb."

I continue to say that the McCain suffers from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. McCain denies this. However, he will not allow reporters to look at his mental health records.

Now that he's running for president, McCain may have no choice, but to open his mental health records. I know that I want to know that the man who has his finger on our nuclear weapons, is "Mentally Stable."

I will tell you, I suffered from PTSD when I got back from Vietnam. Hell, I didn't know if I was coming or going. I didn't know why I hit the deck(Ground) when some nitwit exploded a firecracker next to me. My logical mind told me that I was back "In The World"(America), but my primitive mind told me to not, "Trust Anyone."

I couldn't explain why I awoke in the middle of the night in a sweat, heart racing, and there were images in my mind's eye of a firefight taking place. No, I couldn't explain any of that stuff!

I now know that it was PTSD!

To this day, I will warn people, to not walk up on me, suddenly. My former wife caught the brunt of my PTSD. I married her one year after returning from South Vietnam. Our marriage lasted two years!

To have John McCain tell me that he doesn't suffer from PTSD, well, that is just sheer, "Bullsh.." You can fill in the blanks.

Going after Michelle Obama shows that the GOP is desperate. Don't blame her for John McCain being the Republican presumptive presidential nominee.

It ticks me off that he is the nominee. We all know that John McCain is a train wreck, waiting to happen. Personally, I hate seeing a Vietnam Vet getting beaten up on. But, no one told McCain to throw his hat in to the ring.

I was shocked to read that E.D. Hill of Fox News said the fist pump that Obama and his wife exchanged last Tuesday after he wrapped up the Democratic nomination, could be construed as a "Terrorist Fist Jab." I thought E.D. had more sense than that. She was the one reporter on Fox I thought, did not have an axe to grind with Barack Obama. I guess I was wrong!

The hate for Obama at Fox News is indeed infectious!

Hill did apologize for her "Dumb Remark." However, the damage was done. There are a lot of morons out there who will pick up on this, and start spreading lies.

By the way, E.D. Hill shows us that she knows "Jack, About Sports." How many times did we watch Michael Jordan touch knuckles with his team-mates?

From E.D. Hill's brilliant analysis, " M.J. And The Chicago Bulls Were Terrorists." Who would have "Thunk It."

Ms. Dowd writes, "Mike Murphy, the GOP strategist who worked for John McCain in 2000, but yet this year, said Michelle is heading into her "big moment in the sun."

I would say if the GOP attacks this woman, they will "See the Sun Set On John McCain, Pronto."

That little Spanish is for "Juan McCain."
