Obama: The black JFK?

This Kennedy endorsement has got me thinking ...

I have this odd feeling that, if Obama actually were elected, someone would assassinate him. He's so refreshing b/c he's NOT status quo, but, that's exactly what pisses OFF the status quo.

I'm pretty sure I'm voting for Obama at this point. Hillary is the consummate bullshit spouting politician. However, I think that Hillary's got this nomination and presidency locked down. I think she's the fave of the "powers that be." Ooooh, the "shadow government" again. The same people who killed JFK ...

YES I believe in the shadow gov't and the fact that the gov't is capable of covering things up. Many people who, are IMO naive, say things like, "Oh, the gov't is too stupid to keep a secret." Hmph. They seem to underestimate international crime syndicates.

I was picking the brain of an Afghanistan veteran the other night (he works with my husband) and I was talking about the Halliburton gang rape case, and he said that he believes she's telling the truth, that he believes that kind of stuff goes on (he said that guys who are about to leave can get like, "What the hell, I'm about to leave, let's party"). He also said that the military DOES cover things up, and that they DO have the ability to keep a secret. This guy has a few security clearances too, BTW. He said that ppl just don't WANT to believe that their gov't would *do* such things, it would destroy their faith.

When I get the time, I want to post at length on my brain pickings of the (thoroughly amazing) Chinese businesswoman I work with on occasion at the Merchandise Mart. She works directly with (and imports directly from) Chinese factories. The Chinese really have a different approach to work, according to her. I also asked her about Wal-Mart, and she bitches about how they chargeback and haggle down Chinese factories, but she still shops there (she gripes that the bananas are too expensive everywhere else!). I asked her about what she thinks about the 16-hour factory days, child labor, etc, and she said, "Oh, that's the Chinese way." (No shit, she said that! And explained it to me ... )
