Bush on Financial Crisis, Hispanic Vote

This morning President Bush gave a speech on the financial crisis, and didn't say anything beyond please don't get anxious, because anxiety leads to more anxiety, though he could understand it. I think he's taken to drinking again, or has had some serious meds prescribed, because the poor man just makes no sense when he talks. I don't think we'll be hearing much from this guy after he retires, he should be in a permanent state of depression after being in the state of denial for the last eight years.

Speaking of states of health, John McCain still hasn't released his past medical records, and Cindy McCain hasn't released last year's tax records. John has had four bouts with skin cancer, and his face was swollen during the time of his acceptance speech, which may have meant round five. Cindy should have nothing to hide, we know she's filthy rich, with 11 houses and 13 cars. We know that the price of gas doesn't affect them, and even though John professes a kinship to the man on the street, it's a fictional one.

Much here has been made of the old white guy vote, and the evangelical Christian vote, and even the black vote, but it seems that Coloradans ignore the Hispanic vote. Maybe they discount them as all illegal aliens without any rights and dignity, but both Democrats and Republicans haven't designed any campaign ads targeting the Hispanic population. I'm sure it's different in California and Texas. We have diversity festivals, a few ethnic restaurants, and the Olympic training center is located here, but by and large the city caters to us Caucasians. The Presidential race is close here, and if the Hispanic vote got together and decided as a group who to vote for, it would swing Colorado.
