Messianic Glow Of Obama Halo Has Gone Dim (Michelle Malkin alert)
Investor's Business Daily ^ | March 19, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 03/18/2008 9:22:32 PM PDT by Zakeet

Barack Obama — the self-anointed soul-fixing, nation-healing political Messiah — has lost his glow. That is the take-away from the beleaguered Democratic presidential candidate's "major" speech in Philadelphia yesterday.

For all of his supposedly unique and transcendent understanding of race in America, Obama's talk amounted to the same old, same old. The Glowbama mystique has gone the way of the Emperor's clothes. Instead of accountability, we got excuses. Instead of disavowal of demagoguery, we got whacked with the moral equivalence card. Instead of rejecting the Blame America mantra of left-wing black nationalism, we got more Blame Whitey. Same old, same old.

For two decades, Obama tethered himself to a fire-breathing pastor peddling bitter Marxist "black liberation theology" in the name of God. Behind the "audacity of hope" was a grievance-mongering preacher animated by the voracity of hate. And understand this: The Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama were not merely passing "associates." They were mentor and mentee, guru and student, with fates and fortunes intertwined.

For two decades, while using the church to build his Chicago power base and credibility in the black community, Obama turned a deaf ear to Wright's AIDS conspiracy theories, class warfare rants, anti-Israel, anti-white raves, and "God damn America" diatribes. These weren't occasional outbursts. They were the bread and butter of the Trinity United Church of Christ. Now, Obama blames "talk show hosts and conservative commentators" for exposing Wright's race-based rancor. Audacious, indeed.

“C’mon. Can’t we get past this racial divisiveness, and get back to talking about the important issues, like hope, and change, and hoping for change, and changing our hopes, and changing for change, and having the audacity to hope for change? Let’s get back to being the change, and embracing our hopes. Can’t we change the subject? I certainly hope so.”

You got that right. I’d like Obama to explain to us how he came to the conclusion that he was half black rather than half white.

Since Michelle Malkin hasn't been on O'Reilly, watching O'Reilly without her while being subjected to Geraldo is an easy reason to tune elsewhere.

The 'HALO' was a genuine as a cheap clip-on hair bandoo!!

The Obama-bots and the folks who were hypnotized by him hopefully are awaking from their spell.

I saw on a Utube link from another black pastor who was denouncing Obama, how Obama's campaign really got off the ground by those women who made those viral videos of themselves gyrating all over the place in Obama's name.

So I guess that Obama is really a pimp banger as well who had those gals shaking their boobies all over the Internet to AROUSE interest.

You're absolutely correct.
There is more to come. We haven't even begun to see the fur fly.
It is going to be a very long year!

Michelle got one part wrong:

“For two decades, while using the church to build his Chicago power base and credibility in the black community, Obama turned a deaf ear to Wright’s AIDS conspiracy theories, class warfare rants, anti-Israel, anti-white raves, and “God damn America” diatribes.”

OK, he might have just been using the church to build his power base and credibility with blacks. But I think it is pretty obvious that Obama did NOT really turn a deaf ear. After 20 years, it is ingrained in his very being, and in his wife’s also.

Obama got his political start in Chicago and he needed Wright.
Now he gets to pay the price. Personally I would rather have had him crush Hillary and then explode but it did not break that way.

Obsama say:

Like other black churches, Trinity’s services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear.

Ain’t nofin untrainable ‘bout “God Damn America”

The rantings of Wright might seem jarring "to the untrained ear".

I am stunned that this phrase alone isn't being ripped to shreds.

What exactly is the "trained ear"?
