Anyway keep up the good work, I always look forward to devouring your enlightening, erudite and witty polemics.

For me, former President Clinton has always been easy to understand. Once I decided he was a narcissist, I knew that on every issue I pondered wherein he was playing a role others would suffer if they needed to.

Ole southern Bill would use race in a heartbeat! Color would become a tool to push others where Bill wanted them to be. Think of Bill in the military, where do you think he would fight?

That's right, from the rear: For Bill it has always been the role of others to die for him.

The real problem with Obama is going to be highlighted in the forthcoming race when he has to confront Hillary.

The question (in simple male language): "Does Obama have a set of balls?" If so, when would he, or under what circumstances would he demonstrate such a possession?

Wait and see. Need a clue? Look to his wife Michelle.

Why shouldn't Bill Clinton play the race card? Because it offends blacks? The Clintons don't care. Hispanics are the "New Blacks" and if they fall in line behind the missus, she wins the nomination. Once that is accomplished, Mrs. Clinton knows black Americans--who traditionally vote Democratic, regardless of the candidate--will fall in line.

Cold, cynical and calculating? All synonyms for Bill and Hill. Black Americans? Once again relegated to the "back of the bus" by a candidate willing to emphasize their collective victimhood, and by their own misguided--but self-inflicted--sense of loyalty to a Democratic party which treats them like pawns.

MORE LIKE THE FRENCH
Re: Peter Hannaford's Vive L'Energie Atomique:

"Vive L'Energie Atomique" by Peter Hannaford shows the French way ahead of us. America needs nuclear power now. We can scatter windmills all over the countryside to create an environmental nightmare, or we can use atomic power which, just for starters, uses much less land.

Nuclear would be beneficial in other ways. If we converted over to nuclear the 50% of our electrical capacity currently generated by burning coal, we then could convert the 1.2 billion tons of (domestic!) coal that we burn (unnecessarily) every year into 2.4 billion barrels of gasoline, or about 60% of our current annual consumption. This also would save many, many billions of gallons of fuel needed for the mining and transportation of coal, and the import of oil from thousands of miles away.

There are many other advantages all of which are being curtailed by the radicals in the enviro movement who have opposed nuclear. Fortunately, many tree-huggers have come to see nuclear for the "miracle" power source that it is, finally agreeing with us on the "right" side of the issue after 30 years of obstruction.
