Obama's An Ordinary Politician..with extraordinary oratory.
Right On The Left Coast ^ | May 17, 2008

But what do you get (besides the heavy socialism) when you listen to what he says?

Here are the Obama rules in detail: He can’t be called a “liberal” (“the same names and labels they pin on everyone,” as Obama puts it); his toughness on the war on terror can’t be questioned (“attempts to play on our fears”); his extreme positions on social issues can’t be exposed (“the same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives” and “turn us against each other”); and his Chicago background too is off-limits (“pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy”). Besides that, it should be a freewheeling and spirited campaign...

We could take Obama’s rules in good faith if he never calls John McCain a “conservative” or labels him in any other way. If he never criticizes him for his association with George Bush. If he doesn’t jump on his gaffes (like McCain’s 100-years-in-Iraq comment that Obama distorted and harped on for weeks). And if he never says anything that would tend to make Americans fearful about the future or divide them (i.e., say things that some people agree with and others don’t). And let's not forget that no one is allowed to say his middle name--no one but he himself, that is.

The man is nothing special. He's just an ordinary politician, and not even a very smart one.

...take his teleprompter away and he stutters and babbles.
Whenever he is in that position he has always had to correct his statement(s).....

The danger is his Islamo-manipulative potential and proclivities and associations, and, his popularity with millions of voters who read and understand little. Our adversaries are waiting with their catchers’ mitt for this ball of putty to arrive in their glove....SPLAT.

I agree. If Obama wins it will go down in history as the beginning of the end of America . Of this I am sure.

He's Troy McClure with a tan.

The Audacity of Empty Rhetoric...

Have our standards dropped so low that we now consider the Obamamessiah’s script-reading as “extraordinary oratory”?

Mrs. Obama:

"Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would use all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. My experiences at Princeton have made me more aware of my “Blackness” than ever before."

Can't mention his middle name.
Can't mention his big ears.
Can't mention his Muslim family history.
Can't mention his Communist mentors.
Can't mention his American terrorist friends.
Can't mention his Islamic terrorist friends.
Can't mention his racist pastor who preaches a hate whitey dogma.
Can't mention his corrupt pal who helped him buy some land beside his home.
Can't mention his selection of a “church” as being racist and divisive.
Can't mention his admissions of drug use and Muslim ties from his books.
Can't mention his refusal to salute the flag at appropriate times.
Can't mention his refusal to wear a flag pin.
Can't mention his wife's less than credible history and intellect.
Can't mention the fact that he appears to be poster child for AAAA — African American Affirmative Action candidate..
Can't mention the concern there are no public records of being baptized as a Christian.
Can't mention he campaigned for his COUSIN in Africa, who lead militant Islamists in burning down a Church with Christians inside.
Can't mention his waffling about “negotiating” with our enemies with no preconditions.
Can't mention he wishes to repeat the horror of Somalia and Vietnam by leaving before victory.
Can't mention and he hasn't rejected the endorsements of militant Islamists, including Hamas, the Palestinians and Farrakhan.

The clown wants to make his vacuous speeches about change and hope and not be required to explain his “changes”, his “history” or his “supporters and his positions”.....

Yet — nearly 50% of Americans will be stupid enough to vote for this ass clown....

Perhaps McCain is the ONLY Republican that could lose to him -— since he has elected to take the “high road” and not “go negative” with this impostor who needs to be buried under his past....
