"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.
This canard needs to be squashed - BHO merely gives good teleprompter.
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.
Only in America.
I maintain that approximately 47% of the electorate are either abysmally stupid or over-educated imbeciles....or both.
There are 53% of us left of which a large majority are conservative, with some moderates (you know: moderate, a person (like our president, perhaps) who stands for nothing.
Obama is something entirely different.
First of all, I don't know whether he is a legitimate American citizen. His entire history is buried somewhere, under a rock perhaps.
He is someone who was planted by the communists, nurtured and now has somewhat matured into the America-hating, muslim, pro-abortion clown that the 47% can find no wrong with.
When Democrats (the scourge of the earth as far as I'm concerned and I feel the same way about the damned RINOs) talk about 'bringing us together' that is the absolute LAST thing I want to see!
GRIDLOCK!!!!!!
The final paragraph of that opinion demonstrates clearly why Senator Obama and the far left in America fear a Supreme Court justice who looks to the "intent" or "meaning" of the Founders for guidance in decisions like Kelo. After all, that's what Thomas Jefferson advised, when he said: "On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it conform to the probable one in which it was passed." (1823)
Here is the final paragraph of Justice Thomas's opinion:
"The Court relies almost exclusively on this Court’s prior cases to derive today’s far-reaching, and dangerous, result. See ante, at 8—12. But the principles this Court should employ to dispose of this case are found in the Public Use Clause itself, not in Justice Peckham’s high opinion of reclamation laws, see supra, at 11. When faced with a clash of constitutional principle and a line of unreasoned cases wholly divorced from the text, history, and structure of our founding document, we should not hesitate to resolve the tension in favor of the Constitution’s original meaning. For the reasons I have given, and for the reasons given in Justice O’Connor’s dissent, the conflict of principle raised by this boundless use of the eminent domain power should be resolved in petitioners’ favor. I would reverse the judgment of the Connecticut Supreme Court." - Justice Clarence Thomas (Source: Cornell University web site)
To use a phrase the Left often employs, "most Americans," I believe, would find Justice Thomas's "legal mind" to be in accord with that of the genius Jefferson--not with that of the liberal justices and Senator Obama!
Anyone that saw how quick Obama answered that question with Clarence Thomas realized that HE dislikes this guy...big time and of all the justices he could have said first....he mentioned a black justice. Wow? You think in this church congregation they looked at Clarence Thomas as an enemy???
