H is for Honesty.

I've wanted to post this for a long while, it is from the New York Times. It is unusual in that it is blunt and honest, even for NYC. They ran it last Friday, the 25th, before Florida. Thank heavens Giuliani is out. The way he treats his family and several ex-wives makes me wonder about larger issues. Now if only Mitt Romney could be as honest as the NY Times, say it like he sees it. I feel that he is being so "coiffed" instead of telling about how great he is and all the amazing things he has accomplished, starting with his family!

Meanwhile, in reaction to recent re-revelation that Barrack Obama's middle name is Hussein, (as it has been for the last 45 years) I want to make bumper stickers that say, "Hussein in '08" wouldn't that be great for a mini-van in Utah? Many in my camp, myself included, like Obama. If you want to read more about HONESTY and Obama and the pledge of allegance check out this link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

The NY Times quote:

Why, as a New York-based paper, are we not backing Rudolph Giuliani? Why not choose the man we endorsed for re-election in 1997 after a first term in which he showed that a dirty, dangerous, supposedly ungovernable city could become clean, safe and orderly? What about the man who stood fast on Sept. 11, when others, including President Bush, went AWOL?

That man is not running for president.

The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power. Racial polarization was as much a legacy of his tenure as the rebirth of Times Square.

Mr. Giuliani’s arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking. When he claims fiscal prudence, we remember how he ran through surpluses without a thought to the inevitable downturn and bequeathed huge deficits to his successor. He fired Police Commissioner William Bratton, the architect of the drop in crime, because he couldn’t share the limelight. He later gave the job to Bernard Kerik, who has now been indicted on fraud and corruption charges.

The Rudolph Giuliani of 2008 first shamelessly turned the horror of 9/11 into a lucrative business, with a secret client list, then exploited his city’s and the country’s nightmare to promote his presidential campaign.
