Obama and the Race Card!

Posted By Jim E. Gleason

Why does BO foolishly continue to play the race card?!!

It's even starting to seem more like insanity than foolishness.

The BO gang was insane to accuse their fellow Dems of being racists. What could it do but offend Dems and split the party? I can't think of a more divisive, misguided strategy than what BO has done.

Otoh, the McCain campaign's hair trigger on Obama's use of the race card shows that the McCain camp learned from the primaries. They hit back fast and hard. The effect is that the McCain campaign lends sympathy to Hillary by acknowledging what happened in the primaries. It's just one more reason why Hill Dems support McCain over the Selected and Unqualified, Affirmative Action candidate!

The article,

http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MmZmZDlkNTg1ZmM5YjhhMzI1ZWI4ZDIzYWEyOTMzYjI=

An excerpt,

Obama's problems with race have nothing to do with his half-African ancestry or his own experience with racism and unfairness, but boil down to his deftly wanting it both ways: reminding the Germans he is a different sort of American from what they're used to (false, they knew Rice and Powell well enough), while preempting by suggesting others will evoke race, but in a negative context. But his polls, I wager, will begin to slip from all this, because all this sophisticated triangulation is about to blow up in the public mind.

1) The voter is starting to hear serially from Obama about race; they were promised a racially transcendent candidate, but so far Obama seems obsessed with identity, either accusing others of racism, or using heritage himself for political advantage. This is a tragic blunder.

2) He has the same want-it-both-ways with odious racists: Rev. Wright is a former spiritual advisor, and "brilliant" scholar who nevertheless serially slurs America, whites, Italians, Jews, etc. Ludacris is "a great talent" and "talented" to such an extent Obama wants him in his I-pod menu, and has met with him—but also a racist to be shunned. Ditto Pfleger. A pattern is emerging: Obama associates with or tolerates racists when such quasi-intimacy cements street-cred as an authentic minority or someone cool in the anti-Bush mode; but then when they inevitably revert to form, he not merely casts them off, but is "shocked" at their usual expression, and so like speed bumps they litter the roadway as he barrels ahead.

3). The "typical white person", grandma under the bus riff, Pennsylvania "clingers" rant etc. , 'no more disown Rev, Wright/ but now leaving Trinity Church', etc. themselves are immaterial, but in toto provide a thin margin of tolerance when something like Ludacris or Obama's latest accusation of racism surfaces.

4) Right now Obama does not need to solidify his 90% African-American base or the Moveon.org white liberal adherents; but instead he must remember why he lost all those primaries to Hillary and to what degree his campaign since then has addressed those concerns that lost him those electorates. When a West Virginian hears that Obama is accusing others of racism, or hears him promise that racial reparations will now be a matter of government deeds not words, or a rapper brags he is a favorite of Obama and then slurs Clinton, McCain, Bush in thinly disguised racist terms, it starts to create an image of someone who is not bringing people together, but precisely the opposite.


Btw, if you`re wondering why we constantly get the truth from articles which lean right...it`s because the MSM, (the left), is so in love and mesmerized by their leader, they wouldn`t know the truth if it hit them squarely in the face!

Obama Machine Hits Local PotHoles!

Posted By Jim E. Gleason


http://wilknetwork.com/Obama-Machine-Hits-Local-Potholes/2702621

Excerpts,

Despite my attempts to alert people to this political gathering for Obama, nobody from his campaign responded. Obama supporters who did call to defend their man also had no knowledge of the rally.

Once again Obama supporters in Northeastern Pennsylvania blew it.

If this keeps up, they can call it a day long before Election Day because the smooth, well-oiled Obama machine has hit some serious local potholes.

Even if the rally gets underway today, it will make far less impact than it could have made with some real basic organization.

I’ll let you know what happened on today’s show.


and,

I tried harder to promote their rally than they did – and I oppose Obama. I’m turning down Obama. There will be “nobama” for me. In the 2008 race I’m with Hillary Clinton until the last light bulb burns out in America.

Before Offshore Drilling, BO Energy Plan: "Inflate

Posted By Jim E. Gleason

Before BO Flip-Flopped His Way to Off Shore Drilling, etc., as explained by PK in the other thread, he actually said "Inflating your tires" is the Answer,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzZNP4tTfV0

One of the best parts is the audible laughter when he suggests it at 0:15 seconds -- even some of them know that he's a joke!

This was one of the main parts of his energy policy...or was it the only part! wink

Oh...and should that fail, here`s BO`s latest invention you can also use...BO`s own scientific analysis suggests that it is even more energy efficient than inflating your tires! wink 8)

More of BO`s change: 8O 8O 8O

Obama, The Postmodernist??!

Posted By Jim E. Gleason

an excerpt:

Asked to define sin, Barack Obama replied that sin is "being out of alignment with my values." Statements such as this have caused many people to wonder whether Obama has a God complex or is hopelessly arrogant. For the record, sin isn't being out of alignment with your own values (if it were, Hannibal Lecter wouldn't be a sinner because his values hold that it's OK to eat people) nor is it being out of alignment with Obama's — unless he really is our Savior.

Re: Obama tool of the wealthy

Do you think Obama is really a candidate of the downtrodden and only is funded by the poor? Well think again:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/08/05/america/bundlers.php

He is a typical tool of the wealthy. The only things that differentiate this guy from other Dem candidates are his lack of experience and his skin color...all right, Wright did a good job of teaching him to say "change" and "clarify" very well in front of a teleprompter. smile

Good article...and, of course, I agree.

Another E-Mail! - LOL...

Posted By Jim E. Gleason

Well...time to put your debunking hats on again!...

Gotta another e-mail which states the following,

"Here are some statistics and conclusions.
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington! wink 8)
