Throughout the campaign, Obama has often been the benificiary of "viral" videos (the 1984 mash up, Obama girl, etc) but rarely, if ever, the victim of one. This animated cartoon, by editorial cartoonist Grey Blackwell of the Raleigh News Observer, however, hits Obama where it hurts and is one of the growing signs that Obamania may be wearing thin. Perhaps even more so because Blackwell published the cartoon on Thursday,just before Obama got caught up in the small town America controversy that he's been trying to spin his way out of for the last 48 hours.
Here it is:

He can't spin his way out of such remarks. He might as well try and spin himself out of himself...which in reality, because he wants so badly to get elected, is exactly what he has been trying to do the entire campaign.
But, it's who he is. It's what his core values and ideology have created.
Great video!
We don’t need to see his qualifications.
This isn’t the candidate we’re looking for.
You can go about your business.
Move along.
Critics say that Presidential candidate Barack Obama tries to “be all things to all people” and that he makes too many “pie-in-the-sky” promises. At a recent political rally, Obama tried to overcome these criticisms by emphasizing his commitment to principles. Afterwards, audience members lined up at a microphone to ask Obama questions.
The first person at the microphone said, “I oppose the war in Iraq. If you are elected, what will you do about that?”
“I will end the war in Iraq within two weeks of taking office,” answered Obama. “All our troops will come home, and I will simultaneously make sure the Iraqi government is functioning and secure.”
The second person in line said, “I’m an illegal alien. What will you do for people like me?”
“If I am elected,” answered Obama, “every illegal alien will receive U.S. citizenship, free health coverage, and a scholarship to the university of your choice.”
The third person in line said, “I’m a conservative. If elected, what will you do for me?”
“I’ll send that first guy to Iraq, and the second guy back to Mexico.”
Obama doesn't need Jedi Mind Tricks--
mark for later...
