I do believe that the malediction evident in this election will curse the incumbent more than the challenger. The economy is depressing enough without Barack Obama slinging mud. We know who to blame.

87 days till we throw the bum out. Look lively, act now, the clock is ticking. Never has there been a year like this. I can critique Obama to Dems and they agree with me. They HATE the O as much as I do. All this in a Dem state. What can be happening in swing states? I am pumped!

Well, Zerobama certainly issues enough bad edicts, or maledicts, if you will. A classic case of malediction.

Yeah, I was a drone circling Newark last night, first to find the CA clan who were stranded at the airport there....we drove 3 hours to pick them up last night getting home and to bed at 4am. Was worth it, they would have been stuck there 18 hours w/out a bed till they could fly in to Scranton at noon today. I was drop dead exhausted, still am. For those who live in Jersey we were only lost momentarily trying to leave airport and find route home. Thank you, God, for my android phone. Dang thing located me in Newark and I was able to wing it straight to 78 and 80. LOVE my phone. The neighborhood in Newark wasn’t looking so good, but we managed to find our way out without backtracking.

The “Romney caused cancer” depiction
Was mendacious, corrupt malediction
It is clear “O” attracts
Those who hate truth and facts
He’s a lie based on falsehoods and fiction

Way too many people here at the airport wearing jackets and sweaters.

It’s Houston. In August.

I call a malediction on Nancy Pelosi for all the mis-information she spreads about Catholic teachings.

Lost in the neighborhoods surrounding the Newark Airport? That is scary. That is like getting lost on the South Side of Chicago (the baddest part of town) if you take the wrong exit from the Freeway.
