Leon A. Walker April 15, 2008 Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and They’re Bringing the Grandchildren Lately I have been entertaining myself laughing at the national media and the Clinton Campaign. They are languishing in confusion over why Senator Barack Obama is destined to win the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States. The analysis continues fail at predictions and the negative political tactics just won’t stick. They are absolutely… Continue

Leon A. Walker April 12, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net We the Neglected Children of American Politics “We the neglected children of American politics, in the sincere hope, that we will someday be embraced by this Union”. I made that up following an inexplicable urge to scan some of this nation’s founding documents yesterday. In doing so, I again read the following from our Declaration of Independence, the document that is the cornerstone of American freedom. “We h… Continue

Leon A. Walker April 11, 2008 Free-lance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net The Clintons: “Sixty Is the New Seventy” Former President Clinton’s recent remark about his wife being sixty and suggesting that those of that age can be expected to sometimes forget things leaves me in uncomfortable hysterics. I am only laughing about this most recent Clinton gaff because the content and context of the comments are really of no consequence. The reason I am somewhat uncomfortable is because t… Continue

April 9, 2008 Leon A. Walker Free-lance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net “The Clinton Campaign Is another Clinton White House” Senator Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign has descended beyond embarrassment into a historic abomination. Interestingly, a look back at the White House under the first Clinton Administration provides the best vision of the ineptitude, impropriety and immorality that are the Clinton trademarks as campaigning continues. No doubt those that continue to… Continue

Leon A. Walker April 1, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net Hillary Clinton: Lies Have Short Legs Senator Hillary Clinton’s repeated telling of a shocking fabricated and later recanted story of her arrival in a Bosnian combat zone “under sniper fire” is absolutely ghastly. This horrific fabrication is not only a very telling indictment of her credibility and integrity; it reveals a clear vision of a ruthless woman lost in self consumption. I have no apprehension for ha… Continue

Leon A. Walker March 31, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net “Super Delegates Heading To Obama” I believe we are currently witnessing an exquisite political strategy being executed by the Democratic Party Leadership. This, in the form of an orchestrated trickle of Super Delegates publicly indicating support for Senator Barack Obama. The recent endorsements in favor of Senator Obama by Bill Richardson and Bob Casey are among the first key indicators. Additionally, that t… Continue

Leon A. Walker March 23, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net “Watch What They Do” A Simplistic Discussion About Race I referred to myself in a previous column as a “Lifelong Democrat”. For the most part that is accurate, but the truth is when I was in the military decades ago I voted for Ronald Regan. I do have a very good, however selfish excuse though. He was touting the development of a six hundred ship Navy and promising a very large pay raise. Regan made good on h… Continue

Leon A. Walker March 21, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net "Evil Genius?" The Republican Party has me absolutely paralyzed with confusion. Perhaps being a lifelong Democrat I am just simply not supposed to understand. Being a supporter if Senator Obama I will not cheapen his accedemic accomplishments by making comparisons to those of our current President or his probable future opponnent, Senator John McCain. That would simply be unfair. This all came to mind for me… Continue

Leon A. Walker March 17, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net “Within This America” We are in the midst of observing something incredibly thrilling and of mammoth historic significance in this country. I predict that future generations and perhaps we, will someday reflect on the Presidential Campaign of Senator Barack Obama, as a secondary story and in truth, that is how it should be. Several months ago I watched the movie “The Queen” starring Helen Mirren. In my effort… Continue

Leon A. Walker March 21, 2008 Freelance Writer Pensacola, Florida leonwalker@cox.net “Like A Storm” I am amazed at what I have seen among young voters in this country. I am equally amazed that this is being ignored or overlooked in the media in favor of such nonsence as passports and preachers. These snacks of political mischief that our media continues to serve us. Something I like to call “the devil’s hor dourvers”. Of all of the political stories of this campaign season, the story of Americ… Continue
