Thanks, Mr. McCain, for run down as we count down. I find myself humming "Isn't it rich, isn't it rare? Us with our feet on the ground -- B.O. in the air? Send in the Clowns, there ought to be clowns...don't bother, they're here."

Leon Panetta hit it right with his assessment that the campaign is in reactive mode right now. Here is proof:

Yesterday I was idling away time at the book table in Costco. I had moved down the aisle from two prominent stacks of The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father and noticed a small pile of Obama Nation. As I picked up a copy, a geezer type in a ragged T-shirt that read "Animal Lover" asked me if I intended to buy "that book." I told him if I did, the transaction would be between me and Costco and it was of no concern to him. He then asked me who I was voting for. I told him and he said I should be directing my attention to two of Obama's autobiographies and it would change my mind. I replied that people who have known me for 65 years don't know what is in my mind and it was doubtful that a two-minute encounter could shine a light into my soul for him. He persisted, saying I need to trust Obama. I said I do trust him. I trust him like Ronald Reagan trusted Gorbachev.

About then my husband hove into view, asked me what was going on. I told him, "This crazy old coot is electioneering on private property -- he's trying to block book sales and just look at his shirt! He belongs to some kind of Bestiality Club." Geezer looks puzzled. I go home to read my Obama Nation.

There are some pretty funny exposures of Obama lies. Axelrod (B.O's mouthpiece) explains Obama's ties with Bill Ayers -- "they lived in the same neighborhood -- their children went to the same school." Yeah, maybe twenty years apart. Obama's girls are elementary school students. Ayers' children are grown.

Reading about poor B.O.'s struggle with his blackness, seems he could have had smoother sailing if he had decided he was half white instead of black. Apparently the only way we can make it up to this troubled guy and assuage his torment at having first been abandoned by his black father and then abandoned a couple of times more by his white mother is to show him we understand the Black Man's Burden by giving him the White House. It is the least we can do. No, I think we can do less than that.

p>If he gets elected, will the "summer White House" be in Kenya? He seems to have an unusual longing for his African roots. For me, if I had gone home once and learned that my father was just a raving, egomaniacal sot who could not drive a car, I would not be eager to turn over many more ancestral stones than that. br> -- Diane Smith . /p>
