I borrowed the title for this post from a chapter in Burke Davis' seminal biography of Robert E. Lee, The Gray Fox, because I think that with his choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin to be the Vice Presidential Nominee, he has been bold, forceful,and audacious.

It is the entire opposite of the choice Barack Obama made a week ago.  But it is a choice that is fraught with risk and rich with reward.

I'll have more to say later on about the Sarah Palin pick for VP, but I want to say one thing right now:  I consider Governor Sarah Palin a hero.

Barack Obama is trying guarante that his Messianic presidency will bring about "world class education" to America.  It's no wonder he needed to hold his acceptance speech at Invesco Field:  no other Colorado venue could hold his ego.

As if there were not enough already, last night I clicked over to the Dumbass National Convention to see what was happening.  It was the post-coital aura after Joe Biden's speech, and what were they playing in the Pepsi Center?

"We Are Family" by Sister Sledge.  Now, if you were diehard Orioles fan in 1979, you know that this was the "theme song"  of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

And it is now, yet another reason to despise the Democrats if you are an Orioles fan.

When Barack Obama made the statement at the Saddleback Civil Forum that he would not have nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court because he lacked the experience to be a justice, I laughed.  Out loud.  It was, frankly, a case of the pot calling the kettle black.  (Yeah, I know that sounds racist.  Which it is why it is all the more appropriate.)

Clarence Thomas was a cum laude graduate of Holy Cross College, and a graduate of Yale Law School.  He served as Assistant Attorney General for Missouri, corporate attorney for Monsanto, Assistant Secretary of Education in the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Education, Chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and as a judge on the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia -- the 2nd highest court in the United States.

Which makes Obama's statement ridiculous and his pick of Joe Biden all the more interesting.

Bill Ayers -- Obama's mentor and the man who launched his political career into the Illinois Senate -- founded Weather Underground.  They bombed the US Capitol and the Pentagon, and members of Weather Underground went on to kill police.

A new ad from the American Issues Project brings this to life in a new ad.

I've never liked Barack Obama.  Never been impressed with him.  But not because he is black.  Quite frankly, I could not give a damn what color his skin is.  I don't like him because I think he is dumb.  I think he backed into his Senate seat because another dumb Illinois politician (this one a Republican) was a sexual deviant and a pervert.

But the Joe Biden pick for VP is a move of stupidity and abject desperation.  It doesn't represent change, it represents sheer and voluminous stupidity on a massive scale.  Obama just painted a huge red target on his campaign.  The Joe Biden history of gaseous pomposity is long and deep, and you can bet that the right wing will be ramping up the attack machine (as they should!) for full frontal assault beginning Monday.

Jim Geraghty over at Campaign Spot is reporting that not only was a flight dispatched from Midway to New Castle, DE to fetch Slo Joe, but that the Secret Service has deployed to provide immediate protection to him.

If this is true, it's good and bad news for those of us rooting for an Obama loss.

Barack Obama continued to put the "O" in moron last night at the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency.  When asked when at what point a baby gets human rights, Obama whiffed the answer, saying that the answer was above his pay grade.

Really?  Are we to expect that a man running for the office of President of the United States of America -- who will be in a position to propose or sign legislation related to this very question, not to mentio promulgate regulations through Executive Order, or nominate judges for the Federal Judiciary who will certainly rule on such a question  -- believes this to be above his paygrade?

David Fredosso at National Review Online has the entire chronology here.

Where is the hope for the baby that survives an abortion procedure?  Not in the Obama Campaign.

Barack Obama-- putting the O in Moron.
