Before 2008 Republicans won seven of ten elections, and except for Bill Clinton, no Democrat since FDR won two terms. Republicans consistently convinced voters that Democrats could not be trusted with the most important responsibilities of the Presidency, namely, National Security and OUR MONEY.
($$$$$$)
During this Recession with exceptional foreclosures, drastically constricted consumer spending and horrific job losses, a quick, targeted shock of money by the Government is an unavoidable imperative. However, Obama's transformative, long term policies, i.e., health care, green energy and education, inserted into the Stimulus Spending Bill, absorbs most of the 787billion and provides little incentive for job creation and growth in the Private Sector; and WORSE, the spending accelerates over the long term for the expansion of these Government run programs, delays the recovery indefinitely and requires massive borrowing and unsustainable debt that will retard GDP for generations to come.
4/29/09 It took Obama 100 days to shrink GDP by 6.1%
(Obama's Bad Deal)
Furthermore, it doesn't take a Bean Counter to figure out who's been footing the bill for Obama's spending extravaganza or who will ultimately be paying down the debt in the form of huge and prolonged tax increases that siphon money from entrepreneurs and consumers, sentencing all of us to a deficit of prosperity never seen in this Country.
(D-CIC)
Iraq went on too long to keep the voters on board. Democrats used the public discontent to peal off moderate and independents in midterm elections giving them control of the House and Senate for Bush's last two years of his Second term. Obama's anti-war speech of 2002 was a key talking point in his campaign...he was anti-war and promised to withdraw the troops from Iraq in 12 weeks after he took office.
In fact, he's sensibly listening to his Generals who are older and wiser and will oversee a responsible troop drawdown. President Obama kept Robert Gates as Defense Secretary and appointed Gen. Jim Jones as his National Security adviser..he continued Bush policy Predator strikes in Pakistan and ordered more troops sent to Afghanistan.
That said, the Administration no longer calls two ongoing Wars "the War on Terror"..they're "overseas contingencies." He closed Gitmo without first deciding on an alternative option. Iran is still making a Nuclear Bomb in spite of Obama's solicitous video tape message. His Home Land Security Advisor, Janet Napalitano, released a report that implied Vets were "right wing extremists and potential domestic terrorists. She further showed her ignorance by saying that the 9/ll hijackers came from Canada.
Obama's travels to Europe and Latin America was an apology tour to boost his celebrity and to mollify the image of the USA, in that order. All the bowing, hand shaking and smiley faces accomplished nothing substantial...he didn't get more troops from NATO nor an advance on more Euros to stimulate the World Economy. He burnt his bridges with Sarkozy of France and other European leaders by endorsing Turkey's membership in the EU. N.Korea shot a missile off while Obama was talking No More Nukes. His approval ratings in Europe and in the Muslim World are contingent on his rhetorical disapproval of American history. Obama sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil...he's oblivious to everything except his teleprompter on the World Stage.
When Obama came home and decided to release the Torture Memos to the public...Left Wing Democrats drooled at the prospect of hanging torture on top Bush officials and perhaps, Cheney himself. Cheney preempted the Inquisition by demanding the release of MORE memos to prove the information gleaned from the "harsh interrogation" worked and saved American lives. He called Ds bluff. Obama misjudged his authority over the radical lefties in Congress and Republicans are out for D-hypocrits' scalps. Let D-heads roll.
(Republican Rally)
The suggestion that Obama might support prosecutions and a congressional witch hunt could sap the morale of America's front line warriors and will paint him as naive on terrorism. If our nation is attackd on his watch after 8 years of safety under Republicans, his image as an ineffective CIC will be consistent with the public's notion of chronic weakness on National Security by the Democratic Party; and, bodes poorly for a second term for Obama and for maintaining Democratic majorities in 2010 and beyond.

S.ave O.ur S.hip
Callin Rush.-.-.-.-
The Chicago Mob, led by WH chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and the Clintonistas led by James Carvell have skillfully diverted Media attention from President Obama's plunge into the biggest debt hole ever laid on USA tax payers, ----->>> to the leading, if not loudest voice for millions of Conservatives on Talk Radio...Rush Limbaugh. Bulls-eye!!
[#1 on the Enemies List]
Did Rush fall for it? Did all us ditto heads get hooked like flounders? As MSNBC and CNN (to a lesser degree), open each political segment gleefully with the snit between the WH and Rush, Obama's attempts to transform America go UNchallenged and UNnoticed by the MSM and Cable Talking Heads. If we snooze, we'll wake up one day and our Country as we've known it, will be UNrecognizable.
IOW: CHANGE; signed, sealed and delivered.
While Rome Burns!!
Ofcourse Rush is making the most out of it; his ratings are through the roof. Does he realize he's being uuuuuused by the WH Mob? Maybe he's lapping up all the hype (as only Rush can do) but doesn't care that Obama's getting away with turning America into a soup kitchen franchised by the Government.
If millions more Americans are tuning into Rush, he should USE rather than BE USED. Focus on the resilient American spirit; focus on the achievements of the free individual; focus on WARNING the millions who listen each day about the intimidating perils to this Country if we allow domination by a Big Government ObamaNation.
SOS!!
Obama's steam rolling America, flattening the Country while Republicans fiddle with Rush. As we diddle, Rome Burns.

Over the Rainbow
(ObamaNation)
Yeah, yeah, the polls are tightening and McCain is tough in the trenches, a good closer. Palin has fired-up the base. All true, but reason demands recognition of and preparation for, a BIG-BAD-loss. Not just the Presidential slot but in local races across the nation. Hell!! According to the giddy talking heads and the MSM, November 4th could be a Blood Bath!! Egad!!..the end of the Conservative Revolution, the dismemberment of the Republican Party and, WORSE!!...the birth of LEFTYLAND.
(McCain Mutiny)
Colin Powell's hatchet job of McCain AND Sarah Palin was a low point for McCain, his supporters and the Republican Brand. Although Powell's Military Service is well regarded and his appointment as the First African American Secy of State was impressive, he has never been regarded by Conservatives as one of them.
That said, enlisting NBC, Tom Brokaw and using the millions of Sunday morning viewers of Meet the Press to dump his friend of 30 years for a neophyte Liberal Senator with absolutely no Military or Foreign policy experience, had to be a profoundly personal mission for the General.
Powell as a black American realizes the positive impact a black President would make on the Black Community. President Obama would be a transformational elixer for the psyche of Black Americans. For youth..."study hard and YOU can be President." For older blacks, like Powell who lived through the Civil Rights Movement...equality at long last and the fullfillment of "the Dream."
Other Republicans who've mutinied do not have the same fear that Left Wing skippers will sink the ship. Sooo, non-Conservative Republican defectors are positioning themselves for a four year tack of the Ship of State. The Republican Party is fractured...an Obama victory will not unify the Republican Party, but rather, the ideological divisions will become more acute. This election will be "transformative" for the Republican Party; either that, or we're headed for the wasteland for a generation .
(Three headed monster)
Have you noticed? The elevation of Barack Obama to a Presidential candidate has all black people walking tall. (It's a good thing) Almost 100% are voting for Obama. Ofcourse for them, it's a hypnotic historic election but make no mistake, their support for the Community Organizer is skin deep. Sadly, for Obama's opponents, a Center Right Country is poised to install a Liberal Left Wing government led by a malleable President Obama, no-bump Biden, and increased majorities in both Houses of Congress.
Q. Will Liberals succeed in transforming the electorate into government dependents, create a Welfare State?
A. It's not likely that the Left will deliver anything useful or satisfactory to independent minded Americans. The gimme folks? Another story.
(Better off in 2012?)
The Sunday papers were filled with dire predictions from the Right about the catastrophic results of Obama's tendency to appease rather than fight our enemies; and, the improbability that President Obama will take a uniquely American position contrary to the Europeans et al.
The "One" will govern by consensus, designed to please all and most importantly, get him re-elected in 2012.
Cynic that I am, Obama can't please all the people all the time. Governing by consensus for four years creates unhappy adversaries. Besides, a term of irksome equivocation and the inability to make decisions for the betterment of the Country absent consideration of HIS own political advantage, promises to be fertile grounds for Republicans.
Q. Can Obama triangulate like the master, Clinton? Will the extreme left wing leaders of the Democratic Party let him?
(Palinistas)
A Reaganesque happy warrior, Sarah Palin is a bright spot for the Republican Party. A staunch Conservative that lives her ideology; she delivers the tough love message with a smile and great legs...she connects with Joe the plumbers everywhere. Sarah is an unapologetic true believer...god, guns, a champion for the common man and WOMAN.
Liberals, feminists especially, loathe her and the Media mocks her small town ways. Elitist criticism bodes well for Sarah.
She's the Real Thing...R-winner in 2008.

Conventional Wisdom
_______________
Republicans
It's All in the Game
(Raising McCain)
#1 beat expectations with an acceptance speech that oozed with devotion to Country and demonstrated the character and life experience of John McCain.
Q. Why do you want to be President?
A. Country First. That's the message.
(Game Winner)
The tintillating rollout of Sarah Palin for his running mate, completely stunned old & young pols alike..a Hail Mary Pass that worked...a game changer. After Palin's Reaganesque delivery electrified all Wednesday night, 40 million people tuned-in Thursday night to watch McCain's speech.
McCain's bold selection of the gun-toting Mama from Wasilla gloriously beat expectations. It dazzled and stunned the punditree, Network News anchors, Cable TV's talking heads...a pack of reporters scampered off to Wasilla Alaska to get the story.
Picking a small town "Annie getchyer-gun" has ignited every constituency that Big O can't seem to sign-up for his left wing "Change" agenda that re-defines Americanism.
(End Game)
The First decision by R-Presidential Candidate was brilliant....The teaming of two reform minded, traditional Americans has excited voters of every stripe; and, miraculously swiped the spotlight from the One. Obama talks a good game, but can he make it so? McCain and Palin both have proven records that they can and do deliver on their promises.
McCain's strategic judgement far surpasses Obama's safe bet of a Washington insider, no-bump Biden. So far after both Conventions, polls are tied; Big BUT...moving toward R-team. There's something happening in the Heartland, the Rust Belt, the Bread Basket, the old West...from sea to shining sea...talk IS...it's all good for the USA.
[McCain/Palin] YES WE CAN!!!
(That's the ticket)
McCain et al did a masterful job stepping on Obama's acceptance speech by instigating speculation about when and who he'll pick for a running mate. All the breathless talk this morning was about the #2 on the McCain ticket, little on the "ONE. "
A few hours ago McCain ended the speculation with a brilliant and gutsy choice...a woman extrodinaire...Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska will take the stage in Ohio today with R-man McCain.
Read all about her!! She won't dissappoint any Republican faction, but the Democrats are quick to hammer her on anything they can find...prepare to defend the little lady. I'm kidding, Sarah the barricuda, is armed and dangerous.
Go Girl!!
_____________
Democrats
(Sermon on the Mount)
Am I blue? Hell no..but Obama's depiction of America stepped on reality and history..not everyone is living in the gutter or in depressing Liberal America?
What about all the people that have a job, don't have a sub-prime mortgage, are not on the brink of foreclusure or bankruptcy, have health insurance and are happier and richer than people anywhere else in the world....Obama and his ilk want successful Americans to pay for underachievers by taxing everything we have...it's class warfare disguised as pseudo-compassion for the poor...He and his ilk see this country from the vantage point of a government dependent, psychologically victimized minority.
The "One" is after Big Oil and any business that makes a profit...there's no gratitude for employing thousands of people, providing services that enrich our lives or for the forward looking scientific creativity that keeps the USA competive in the Global Jungle.
This is no time to hamstring our Businesses, Investors and people...it's time to set us free to innovate a better future...it's time to let the positive American spirit soar to new heights...but no, Obama and his ilk plan to break the American spirit with regulation and government interference in every aspect of our lives.
Obama's speech wreaks with the smell of dispair and defeat...WHERE'S THE HOPE? An Obama administration would be disasterous to the economic growth and cherished sovereignty of the United States...he and his ilk will make us citizens of the world, slaves to international standards of morality and justice...puppets of the World? Americans lost.
(The BO choral)
The Clintons managed to monopolize the first three days of the faux-unified venue in Colorado. With oratory that thrust pseudo-compliments into their successor-in-chief, Barack Obama, both Clintons appeared magnanimous.
(Clintonesque)
Bill, after hitting on every government give-a-way that comforts middle class democrats and sharing the love with thousands of his adoring fans, the comiserator-in-chief, promised that Barack Obama would reach for clinton's stars and deliver the same things. Downer if he's not as experienced with a partisan Congress?....hmmm, Bill put Barry on the spot.
Should the "One" forsake his soaring, inspirational oratory for a workman's like dissertation? OR, should the "ONE" throw his fates to the wind and channel MLK & JFK? Then...Keep the dream alive!! Yes We Can!! over the fences. Head for the New(er) Frontier!
Dump substance...pile-on style? Could it be? That's the best BOs got?

Hmmm..where to begin...
(The Main Event)
After a long primary battle Barack Obama barely beat Hillary Clinton..it went down to the wire. In typical Clintonesque fashion, Hillary had to be hooked off the stage by antsy delegates, nervous Party leaders and Media types gasping for space in the tank for the first black candidate for President.
(D-split)
And what a candidate he is!!! The Democrats have got themselves another tax and spend elite Liberal that wants to tax businesses for making too much profit. (The Republicans defeated the Windfall Profits Tax on Oil Companies today).
Barack wants to spend billions bailing out sub prime foreclosures; billions on health care; billions on government programs for underachievers. He'll pay for all these goodies by taxing businesses and citizens to the max. He'll force businesses to out-source jobs and we'll all have less money in our pockets...the Democrats even want to regulate speculation? They're control freaks.
But hey, this Liberal appeals to the African American community because of the color of his skin. It's historic!! 90% are chanting "Yes we can!!" Yes, he's got more than one minority in the bag; the snooty, highly educated, limo libs and the young know-nothing college students have got Obamamania too.
But what of the rest of the Democratic Party? Hillary's 18 million....older democratic women, white men, Reagan Democrats, blue collar workers without a college degree, Hispanics? Many of them say they'll vote for McCain or stay home. If Barack can't sway those folks to vote for him and McCain gets even a small percentage of them...Hillary will be singing, "I told you so." The lady has a point.
(Bad Buds)
Jermiah Wright, Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, plus tried and convicted scam artist, Tony Rezko, have been long time friends of Barack Obama. One by one Obama's been forced to "distance" himself from all of them. Failing miserably (IMO) to give a believable explanation for WHY he's the only person in Chicago who wasn't aware of Pastor Wright's positions on whitey or our Government's conspiracy to wipe out black people by infecting them with AIDS.
Was he deaf and blind for the 20 years he attended Trinity United Church? Instead he gave a high-brow lecture on race relations in America, threw his white grandmother under the bus for making fearful remarks against young black stalkers but persisted in the denial....he had ever heard those infamous remarks from his mentor Pastor Wright. "God Damn America!!"
His other cronies leave even more doubts about Obama's choice of friends, and worse, his true feelings about America. Pundits are backing him up by claiming political expediency by a young unknown on the Chicago streets. Maybe, but for 20 years? His wife's remarks about being proud of America for the first time combined with his guns and god rap on white middle class men fuels the worst suspicions.
Will white Americans be tarred with inbred racism under a black President? Will we have to pay reparations of a sort for past slights of the black man? Will affirmative action be the preferred course in an Obama administration? Is that what all the Zombies mean by "change"?
(Salute/CIC)
The more I know about Barack Obama the less I like him. He's a neophyte on Foreign Policy and uncomfortable with all things Military. His rhetoric defines him as an appeaser, someone too eager to negotiate with terrorists and the states that sponsor them. He knows little about the daily progress in Iraq, hasn't been there in two years, isn't interested in talking to General Petraeus and yet he claims that Iraq is already lost, an unredeemable quagmire. It's not.
McCain who had been critical of the war and Rumsfeld proposed a Surge Strategy on Jan. 5, 2007 based on conversations with commanders on the ground in Iraq. It was a politically risky approach but he believed it would lead to victory; and we all know McCain never gives up. Obama presented the "Iraq De-Escalation Act" Jan. 30, 2007 based solely on the advice of a skeptical Gen. Abizaid..one of the "light foot print" Generals whose strategy had failed for four years. Barack wanted to quit.
Bush ordered the Surge. US forces partnered with Iraqi troops helping them "hold" areas that they'd jointly "cleared." The extra brigade of US Marines led to the Anbar Awakening which spread through Central Iraq. Sectarian violence stopped; Al Qaeda was defeated; Sadr City was cleared of illegal Militias; US casualties were the lowest of the War last month; political progress is afoot; Maliki's government passed almost all of the "benchmarks." Iraq is close, very close to being a secure Democracy.
If Obama's ACT was adopted, the popular and politically safe route would have led to an unnecessary American defeat in Iraq and empowered Al Qaeda; but ofcourse, Barack Obama would not have won the Primary if he had put the success of American forces ahead of his own.
(A Dream realized)
Obama won an historic primary, but he may not be able to convince "can do" Americans that he's the right man for the job. McCain, Cap and Trade aside, is one of us, a man whose love of America is clear and his #1 priority is to keep all of us safe. After all is said and done..isn't that why the majority of Americans elect their President?

He knows little about the daily progress in Iraq, hasn't been there in two years, isn't interested in talking to General Petraeus and yet he claims that Iraq is already lost, an unredeemable quagmire. It's not.
McCain who had been critical of the war and Rumsfeld proposed a Surge Strategy on Jan. 5, 2007 based on conversations with commanders on the ground in Iraq. It was a politically risky approach but he believed it would lead to victory; and we all know McCain never gives up. Obama presented the "Iraq De-Escalation Act" Jan. 30, 2007 based solely on the advice of a skeptical Gen. Abizaid..one of the "light foot print" Generals whose strategy had failed for four years. Barack wanted to quit.
Bush ordered the Surge. US forces partnered with Iraqi troops helping them "hold" areas that they'd jointly "cleared." The extra brigade of US Marines led to the Anbar Awakening which spread through Central Iraq. Sectarian violence stopped; Al Qaeda was defeated; Sadr City was cleared of illegal Militias; US casualties were the lowest of the War last month; political progress is afoot; Maliki's government passed almost all of the "benchmarks." Iraq is close, very close to being a secure Democracy.
If Obama's ACT was adopted, the popular and politically safe route would have led to an unnecessary American defeat in Iraq and empowered Al Qaeda; but ofcourse, Barack Obama would not have won the Primary if he had put the success of American forces ahead of his own.
(A Dream realized)
Obama won an historic primary, but he may not be able to convince "can do" Americans that he's the right man for the job. McCain, Cap and Trade aside, is one of us, a man whose love of America is clear and his #1 priority is to keep all of us safe. After all is said and done..isn't that why the majority of Americans elect their President?

Pennsylvania Primary
(She's Alive!!)
Yup, Hillary defied "conventional wisdom" again, i.e., Cable pundits, the MSM and most opinion journalists (including the NYT) that declared her continued efforts futile and demanded she give up for the good of Party unity, were proven WRONG AGAIN by the voters of Pennsylvania.
(In a Nut-Shell)
Obama won the city Philadelphia and a few of it's surrounding towns...the rest of the State went heavily for Clinton, giving her a win of 10% points or about 200,000 votes. Blacks and young newly registered first time voters went for Obama; white blue collar men, older women, seniors and most voters earning under $50 thousand per annum backed Hillary with impressive numbers. Barack Obama did NOT close the deal in PA.
Onward!! Obama gave his congrats to Clinton in Indiana. Hillary found her voice in Philly: "Because of you, the tide is turning."
(The Steelers)
Clinton's operatives immediately laid out a Plan B, *Big State Strategy.* In other words, convince the SuperDelegates that since Hillary has shown the ability to win in all the Big Blue States that Democrats need to win enough Electoral College votes to beat John McCain in November, they should ignore the rules and Obama's delegate lead and select Hillary Clinton as the Nominee. Afterall, the caucus States that Barack won, mostly will go Republican anyway and really don't fully represent ALL Democrats in those States or the Country. Furthermore, there's Florida and Michigan where Hillary DID win the popular vote even if those votes don't count. Sound reasonable?
(End Game)
That's the argument and it's a logical one; however, there's one glaring problem for the Democrats. Obama supporters, mainly the reliable black Base and the snooty Liberal intelligentsia will be furious with Hillary and the Democratic Party for stealing the nomination from their Great Black Hope. Most likely, R-man McCain will benefit from the millions of disheartened, disgruntled, disenfranchised Obamamaniacs who WON'T VOTE at all on Election Day 2008.
Once again, the Democratic Party will defeat themselves in a year that all the stars are aligned in their favor.

21st Democratic Debate in Philadelphia
The moderators, ABC's Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolus, both must've decided to get even for the hits on reporters for giving Obama a free ride. All Obama-gates were front and center...the smooth talker was on the defensive for 50 minutes; and Hillary was all too pleased to stick it to him with relish.
(Bitter-gate)
Obama side stepped the crux of the insulting put-down..he explained, people ARE frustrated and since he's a man of faith(Rev.Wright?) why would he belittle the faith of small town Americans? He mumbled something about sportsman go hunting because their grandfathers and fathers did and it's a tradition they can count on. Unlike the government, I might add.
Hillary chanelled her Scranton creds and insinuated that Obama was insensitive to the cultural issues that are important to folks everywhere except in the elitist big cities like SanFranciso...her campaign has rightfully suggested that this is why democrats like Kerry, Gore and others were not electable; the theme that will surely be used by the Republican "attack machine" in the General Election. Hmmmm, superdelegates take note?
(Birds-of-a-feather-gate)
Rev.Wright: Obama repeated his objections to the anti-American tirade but insisted that the Unity Church did a lot of good works for the people of Chicago. On anti-semite Farrakhan, he tried to comfort Jewish voters by affirming his support for Israel and promising to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons by using every diplomatic power of the Presidency to convince Ahmadinejad the change his ways. Tsk, tsk..naughty boy.
William Ayers, the radical Weather Man who wished he'd bombed more buildings and killed more people; the man that held a fundraiser in his home for Barack? Phui, said Obama, that was 40 years ago, I was eight..Lahdeedah.
Hillary reminded us she would have left the Pastor and not valued his advice for 20 years. Farrakhan is an avowed anti-semite, Israel is our ally and she'd go further than Barack...she'd put the whole Middle East under an umbrella of protection..if Iran became nuclear and attacked Israel...all the Middle East would be covered by US massive military retaliation. This from the woman who'll start withdrawal from Iraq on day one...why don't we finish off Iran in Iraq, bomb the camps and show them we mean business without starting an all out war or waiting till they threaten the World with a Nuclear Bomb? I digress.
On the William Ayers association, Hillary said it was a fair question because a presidential candidate had to be vetted like she'd been for 20 years. Obama fired back with a reminder that Bill Clinton pardoned the FALN terrorists which was much worse than being friends with a reformed terrorist. Thanks for the memories.
(Read their Lips)
Both of the Democrats made a tax pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class..for Hillary that's people who make under $250,000, same for Obama...they both lied.
How can they spend billions on government entitlements like Universal Health Care, College Loans, massive bailouts and other stuff that Liberals love and PROMISE not raise taxes?
Both plan to raise Capital Gains..Hillary 20%, Obama's on record for 28%...now, it's proven that revenue is higher if Capital Gains is lower..so there will be less money to spend on government programs. Where are they going to get money?
More pander..both said they'll CUT taxes for the middle class but neither will renew the Bush Tax Cuts. Hello marriage penalty and goodby increased child credits. Obama said he'd lower payroll taxes. Doesn't that go into Social Security which is about to go bankrupt? Democrats' tax fiascos never add up...every tax payer will be paying through the nose if either one of them wins the WH.
That IS the only thing about these two you can count on. Woezze US.
(Defining Obama)
Obama and his spellbound groupies noted that last night's debate focused on "insignificant" gaffes and foibles and little on the policies that would save us from 8 years of Bush and 4 more of the same with McCain.
However, when an inexperienced, practically unknown phenom is running for President, the first thing required by a skilled politician, like Hillary or the Media, is to define that person for the electorate. Obama's associations have a disturbing pattern...too many of them hate America and one that we know of, actually targeted the Pentagon, Police Stations and the White House with bombs; but because that was 40 years ago, that shouldn't reflect on him? His 20 year friendship with an anti-American racist Pastor, who's still spewing hate-whitey from the pulpet, doesn't reflect on Barack Obama?
It makes me wonder if we want a President who welcomes these characters into his inner circle. He values relationships with extremists who express deep rooted, distorted views of American people, our Government and our history....he forgives and forgets and sees good in these generally offensive psychos; either that or he's willfully blind to unrepentent dissidents? How will his associations affect the "change" he envisions for America? By his friends, you will know him?
