Sounds to me like he has all the attributes to become the Democratic candidate for Prez. But I'm not sure we don't want to bring Hitlery down a few pegs too. Such a quandry.
It is total BS to lionize a 2year Freshman Senator like he was
a politcal Messiah.
He seems to be a political Rorschach blot - people see whatever they want in him.
well, he speaks well, and he's black, and he's a Democrat. There's always a longing for new faces in politics, and he would be a fresh face on the presidential campaign trail if he wants to run.
News junkies are noting that Hillary is becoming invisible when most presidential contenders are starting to increase visibility.
Could be part of the plan I thought might happen in 2004 - find a Dem with high positives to run for president and then put Hillary on the ticket as Vice President. After the convention, assassins take out the presidential nominee leaving "brave Hillary" to carry the banner to victory while a sympathetic media dare not ask her any tough questions out of respect for the deceased nominee.
If the nominee was black, the media would surely portray this as racial hatred, ensuring black voters would rally around the Democrat nominee and come out in droves.
Nobody will dig too deeply into the real assassin's connections to the Clintons who needed the sympathy vote to push Hillary over the top since she cannot win on her own merits.
Yeah, crazy conspiracy talk I know, but highly plausable if Hillary stands down and lets Obama get the nomination.
The word for this guy is Tabula Rasa. The libs are projecting onto him their hopes for a liberal renaissance despite the fact that modern day liberalism is a grotesque tumor. They figure his pretty boy mask will conceal the real Dorian Gray face underneath.
Don't make the mistake of thinking there is no substance to this guy. The substance is that of the Fabian Socialist.
This guy knows how to package cultural Marxism in an appealing package: watch all his speeches that decry an over reliance on govt, "BUT OTOH we can't allow people to fall thru the cracks," and other jive platitudes delivered in a mellifluous tone. He has the veneer to beguile a whole lot of voting dummies who don't pay attention.
What an apt word to describe the innate talent of this man.
he's black?????
Let Darwin work its magic if people suffering from AIDS are going to have this mindset.
Yeah, that, and the fact that the Democrat bench is home to as pathetic a bunch of losers and wannabe losers as has ever come down the political pike.
Some Dems. are excited about Hillary, but otherwise, you're looking at reruns of Kerry, John Edwards, maybe Wesley Clark and Al Gore. it's hard to get excited about guys who have run before.
2) In an interview on Thanksgiving, when asked how he spent the day, he made sure he talked about watching football (to appeal to the manly crowd), but quickly went on to brag about doing the dishes (to appeal to the fawning ladies).
He is an empty suit that spews platitudes and basically says nothing.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he more accurately is a classical liberal who uses the language of faith. It's disorienting because classical liberals using the language of faith haven't really existed in almost 25 years or more.
" he's black????? "
Obama Hussein Barack describes himself as African American, but, the more accurate and truthful description would be mixed race ,like Tiger Woods .
As Barack described in his 1995 book, " Dreams From My Father " his mother was " white as milk " and his Kenyan father was " black as pitch."
If being half black makes one an African American, then conversely, it should also make one white.
Wonder why Barack doesn't also chose to describe himself as white ?
Democrats: still killing the ones they 'love'.
That oily scumbag Obama has never been accused of being a rocket scientist or anything.
