Ulsterwoman Outsider Report: Obama Dead and Gay Marriage

Fox News hacker declared Barack Obama dead.  That is one sick thing to do!  So many United States Presidents have been assassinated over the years that people might have believed this.  I only remember seeing the news about President Kennedy’s assassination on television and was shocked that they showed so much.  He was at one time popular with the Ulster people to the point that a road in Carrickfergus where I was born, was named Kennedy Drive.  After the affair with the beautiful, talented and tormented Marilyn Monroe was made known and he was killed, the road was re-named.  Seems a petty thing to do to me, but that’s politics!  Ireland practically idolised Kennedy while he was alive and in power.  Although President Obama talks of his Irish roots and came to Ireland and searched them out, we have heard less about that and he hasn’t attracted the attention that Kennedy did.  One wonders why.

Hackers!  I have had my fair share of them and wonder what can be done about that issue.

Other news states that tensions rise on Capitol Hill as America runs out of money.  All I could advise the President to do is don’t follow Britain’s lead as the country is in a mess and the government’s draconian measures are so unpopular one wonders why the people are not doing more kicking and screaming about it all. The United Kingdom doesn’t have a history of assassinating its unpopular leaders.  It does have a history of re-electing them which is truly baffling, but the low turnouts at polling stations may have something to do with that.  If you don’t like them folks, go vote anyway and just vote for some underdog as a protest.  Heck, they couldn’t do a worse job could they?  They might even astound you as an underdog might work harder to stay in power.  I don’t know.  I hate politics so I’m no expert, but just think a reverse psychology tactic would be worth trying.

Fred Krager of the Guardian newspaper has the headline “Obama’s Gay Marriage Flip-flopping!”  Hey – I thought at first he was going to tell us Michelle was actually a guy cross dressing, with that headline, but no.  It was an article about the legislation on gay marriages in which Krager states: “I am puzzled that a man who is the product of a biracial marriage, whose own parents could not have married in 16 states before 1967, seems unable to understand the extreme pain that bigotry causes,” and ends his article with the statement “evolve already!”  Okay Fred… what bit of democracy don’t you get?  If some states are for it and others against it… that’s politics!
