figure out pumas at your peril
At the time of the 2008 election, I looked over to see what that constituency of “PUMA”s — or what of them exist — were saying upon the election of Obama. I saw a gleeful crunching of numbers to rationalize Obama’s victory as pyrrhic, inevitably a one termer (or less, what with the Chicago corruption that lead to that stolen nomination) — the victory coming from depressed Republican turnout, and I — a lifetime Democrat — just cast my proudest vote ever for McCain and Palin, the latter in opposition to Obama in demonstrating where the two candidates stand on Women’s Equality. Add in conspicuous links to free republic sites and world net daily — which is an alliance that will come back to bite these PUMAs on the back.
The Internet can aggregate anyone of any interest. This page here, Hm, a “PUMA blog aggregator”, looks about what you would imagine. Like the Howard Dean blogs at the end of his nomination, only taken through past the November election. I guess they have these Clinton ads to create, these documentaries to make — all outside the scope of anything Hillary Clinton is interested in doing, (Allegedly).
The PUMA aggregagor is, politically, all over the place. “That is the PUMA way”, the top of this page says — before popping out a link to “Inside Job” (an indictment of the system which heaps as much scorn on the Clinton administration as everyone else), and a page against gun violence.
Item.
You had to see it to appreciate it. Before the start of the seventh inning Seattle Mariners vs Cleveland Indians baseball game the roving reporter had a Felix Hernandez bobblehead to give away. The contest between mom and daughter was to name all of the presidents in a row.
The two knew all the presidents and they sang them out in unison in a sort of sing songy way. At the very end, they yelled out Barack Obama very loudly, giddy that they were done.
The reporter then asked them who would be the next president in 2012, and after a relatively short pause, mom says, “Clinton again.” Probably referring to Bill’s better half. But how can that be when our own cable news media is so polarized to the far left and far right, leaving the vast huge middle of the country unrepresented?
Self styled “Centrist”. It’s a tough gambit. About as tough as watching the Mariners and seeing their pitching staff and Ichiro being wasted on historically anemic offenses. But skip here to see…
So if you know PUMA’s who don’t think the home mortgage issue is of importance, they are not real PUMAs, since this was a core Hillary Clinton campaign issue. I recently defriended an alleged well known PUMA who had no time to ever view Daily PUMA, and claimed my Swarm the Banks blog was pointless.
I don’t know. There’s a certain logic to this portion on the page — toss up a Greenwald column while you are at it. But before we get too commondreamsy on you, we ask: is CATO PUMA? They’ve been siphoned into this page, see, on this page:

er?
One of my biggest pet peeves against Barack Obama was that he was writing his tribute book about his sperm donor father in the early 90’s in Bali, even as his mother was being diagnosed and fighting cancer in Hawaii. Barack Obama literally had to fly over where his mother was fighting cancer in Hawaii to go Bali.
I have not been able to find an actual exact Timeline of Barack Obama’s book writing in Bali and his mother’s battle with cancer in Hawaii, but even if the book was barely finished when Stanley Ann Dunham was first diagnosed with cancer, isn’t it odd that a book about his deadbeat and passed father was of such priority that he could not find the time to fight for the life of his still living mother?
Seems like personal animus. Might be what holds this together, but I go back to seeing the snippets of free republic pages and see the “What the heck?” come back to bite them with this:

Years late, we’re finally getting an audit of Obama 2008. Perhaps it is that courage is contagious and Donald Trump’s two-fist attacks on Obama are bringing Obama opponents out of the woodwork – but something is happening to raise the level of truth-telling. Michelle Bachman, usually not a shrinking violet, is all of a sudden talking birth certificate. Bachman says she is going to bring her birth certificate to the first Republican debate.
