"Hmmm... excellent question..."

I think the phase is “Right Color in the Left party, at the Right Time”.
It's called the Chicago Machine.
much less the presumtive nominee for president of the largest political party in the world's only superpower?
It's called Democrat voters.
"Hmmm... excellent question..."
The Jack Ryan meltdown (spurred along by the Chicago Tribune...) Basically, he ran unopposed.
Obama has no spontaneity. And, if that’s not bad enough, (maybe BECAUSE of this failing) he’s an adept at the Bill Clinton school of politics, where marble mouthing the blase, noble-’sounding’ideals of pie-in-the-sky, Liberal doctrine passes for a real position on pressing issues. In fact, this over-hyped and antiquated Liberal utopianism has succeeded in nothing but assuring social strife in this country and will for decades to come. It is the DNC stock in trade. Billy boy’s hidebound assertion that racism is rabid and pervasive in this country demonstrated the preposterous limit of Liberal credulity and has set us back a generations.
Consider the source of his support, the Daley machine, Chicago crime syndicate and active members of the American Communist Party. After his opponent was destroyed by the Chicago machine he ran virtually unopposed for the US Senate. This is a seat bought and paid for by enemies of the republic. His presidency will be the greatest sellout, even exceeding Clinton’s, in our history. A civil war is almost assured if he is elected.
Obama is a pawn of the radical left who has no ability to function independently of his handlers.
I wish authors and pundits would stop saying Obambi was a law school professor. He was NOT a law school professor! He was a law school LECTURER! There is a world of difference between the two.
“A civil war is almost assured if he is elected. Obama is a pawn of the radical left who has no ability to function independently of his handlers.”
Accurate on both counts.
I like that. Think I'll borrow it, if you don't mind.
This canard needs to be squashed - BHO merely gives good teleprompter.
I beg to disagree - the real reason is exactly as Ferraro implied: it's due to affirmative action.
Affirmative Action certainly plays a role, but the Chicago Machine is the vehicle by which Obama catapulted to the national stage. It enabled (read “engineered”) his Senate seat in the Illinois legislature, and later his ascendancy to national politics. All was accomplished through Illinois Democrat politics.
Bet he knows how many states there are, and how long a President's term runs.
Marital infidelity. By his opponents. That's the biggest reason. A fatherless child born of such a liaison, certainly has a sort of natural right to defeat those who engage in it.
BHO's entire life experience has been to take advantage of his skin color. His backers view him merely as a Trojan Horse in which to enact their agenda.
Obama won his seat in the Illinois legislature by forcing his opponents off the ballot. He won his Senate seat virtually unopposed after his primary opponent and his would-be Republican opponent were forced out of the race thanks to embarrassing information from their divorce records being leaked to the press. The only contested race he ran before 2008 was for Congress, and he lost.
