Over the past year and a half, Barack Obama has sold himself as the Hope Guy Who Transcends Party, Race, and Generation and Who Can Bring Us All Together. Americans tired of fierce and unproductive partisanship and of the same, old tired political fistfights look to Obama to usher in a new way of doing things: a post-partisan, civilized coming together to find common ground and compromise.
What a load of B.S.
Last week, the Obama campaign sent out a letter on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that made two points, one implicit and the other explicit.
The implicit point is that Obama himself has no problem raising money for his own campaign, and he's got the presidency in the bag.
The explicit point is that since Obama's already won this thing, he's asking donors to focus on supporting Democratic candidates for Congress. Said the letter, "We must have a deadlock-proof Democratic majority."
So the guy running on "unity" and "working across the aisle" has neither the desire nor the intention to foster "unity" or "work across the aisle."
He wants to pound the Republicans into dust so he doesn't have to deal with them at all. He wants a Democratic majority so lopsided that he can plow his far-left agenda right through. And he wants so many Democrats crawling the hallways of Capitol Hill that he won't have to work as hard at all that exhausting and pesky persuasion and compromise.
Change you can believe in? Sure, as long as it's only his version of change. Unity? Sure, as long as Republicans are willing to bend to him and his liberal agenda. Working across the aisle? Sure, as long as the Democrats are so dominant that the aisle barely exists.
With Obama, watch what he does, not what he says, because the silver tongue promises what the politician has no intention of delivering.
Just like the Oracle Ummah Gummah predicted!

If we're lucky our friends in Israel will get nervous if Hussein O gets elected and they'll bomb Iran which will in turn force Obama off his leftist agenda.
This guy is looking to RAISE TAXES!
And that's just the beginning..

I'm beginning to think the corrked whitey-hater jesse Jerkson would be a better pres than this Hussein moslem.
At least Jesse tells it like it is. With Jesse you know where you're at. If you're white you know he hates you and feels entitled to your money.

Suggested quote for one one the debates: "You're no effin' steamroller, Obama!"

After his triumphant tour of "old Europe", Rasmussen shows Obama with a whopping 3-point lead in its daily tracking poll. The Nigerian Scam has been exposed and the "hope" scam is about to run out of gas (and hot air).
You know the campaign is in trouble when they have to lock the first lady candidate in a closet and throw away the key. The Republicans should start a protest campaign to free Michelle Obama from her exile from the campaign. She has been shelved and cloistered. What kind of man would lock his wife in a closet until the campaign is over.

THE CLOISTERING OF MICHELLE OBAMA: One thing the leftie media never asked was where the hell was Michelle Obama. Why wasn't she with him on his trip? Why has Obama cloistered her and not allowed her to come out in public? Never before in the history of Presidential campaigns has a Presidential candidate ordered his wife into hiding until after the election.

PUMA WILL STRIKE DENVER?
MEMO: to the OSM(ObamaStream Media, including the BrianKatieCharlie World Rockabama Tour)
FROM: The Gringo Advisory Board (via the grace of MonicaMedia)
If conservative Newsbusters is on to something, ObamaNots are coming for your guy's Obamanauts, even while you pretend not to know it. Are these ObamaNots right-wing loons? No. They are Democrats. Wrap your OSM brainpans around it.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/07/26/msm-mostly-ignores-surge-anti-obama-puma-democrat-activity
Apparently hell hath no fury like Hellary's PUMA Democrats scorned.
You OSM'ers know PUMA, right?
PARTY UNITY MY AAAAAAASSSSSSS!
Got it now? Will Barry Apostle David Axelrod get it?
At same url there is also YouTube video of faithful Democratic loon, Perry Logan, a wild man of PUMA, This comic PUMA LOgan has been banned from KiddyLeft Democrat Underground. Why? PUMA Logan used to mock Republicans (good.) But now he is mocking Obama (baaaaaaad. The KlassWar Kiddies are shocked by PUMA and revolt against the anointed Messiah)
PS:
Dem convention in Denver could turn out pretty interesting. Are the OSM veterans of Rockabama tour ready? Noses properly cleaned? Could be a whole lot of rockin' goin' up thar' in those Rockies.
Or does the ObamaStream think the Bubba Duo, its delegates intact, and PUMA, its fury intact, are ready just to go away and eat the oat meal?

Being caught up in Beatlemania was pretty harmless...I'm really worried about Obamamania. This unknown commodity being pushed upon the American public by the mainstream media could turn out to be a total and absolute disaster.
Senator Obama's Berlin speech is being compared to John F. Kennedy's and Ronald Reagan's. While it's true that Obama has their skills as an orator let the comparisons end there.
John F. Kennedy was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives before he became a Senator, so he had more experience than Obama, PLUS Kennedy had proven his leadership abilities by saving the lives of his PT boat crew at great personal risk despite his own serious injury.
Before he ran for office Ronald Reagan spent many, many years as a spokesman for GE going around the United States talking to everyday Americans, finding out first hand what was on their minds and what their concerns were.
Senator Barrack Obama's stature as a leader or knowledge of the people's wishes don't approach either of these two men...

Steveok --
The Obamas have two young daughters. Maybe Mrs. Obama was home with them? Either way, who really cares? Why do you?
Posted by: FK | July 29, 2008 at 05:52 PM
u may not care, Fred, but **I** do. I seriously doubt she'll be as invisible in the White House as she is at present.
The only way to keep her as invisible as she is today is to keep her husband away from the white House.
