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.

Obama dragged his old white granny down into the mud to save his lousy campaign and appease his racist, hate-mongering mentor...pathetic.

Barack Obama...has lost his glow.

Don't worry about Hillary, she is so frightened after seeing how some conservatives dispatched Obama, that she will resign the primary race.

The obamanation really says something about the collective IQ of the electorate, and it gives one pause.

I knew that something was radically wrong when hypnotised people started passing out at the feet of Obama. That was a grave warning.

I have been to black churches, and I never did see any man so evil as Jeremiah Wright and his profanity. No, I have not seen even one.

Barry The Knucklehead will make an ass of himself on a TV talk show for demokrat primary votes. So who doesn't believe that the Sundays before election days in Chicago brought Barry out of his pew to dance in the aisles, high-five, and holler "Hallelujah!" with the rest of the afro-centric, America-hating congregation?

I have said this in other posts and I repeat it here. I add to what you have said, which is on the mark:

The unmistakable nature of this church which preached Marxist black separatist liberation theology is the elephant in the room. That Obama has been mentored by communists throughout his life shows a pattern of political ideology that cannot be glossed over by shifting the focus on race. In fact it is the fanning the flames of race that is just the tactic taught to Obama by communist Saul Olinsky, that Jeriamiah Wright employed in his church. According to Olinsky:

The agitator’s job is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease.

We are at a dangerous moment in our nation’s history. We have a communist as a presidential nominee who knows the technique for fanning racial hatred and, through experience and example, is capable of using such techniques himself to further his Marxist agenda.

“...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? ...”

If that doesn’t sum up Obama and this whole mess, I don’t know what does. Well done! :) haha!

1. Obama's campaign theme is "change is possible."

2. Obama's told us that Wright is too old, so "change is impossible" for Wright

Can't....compute. Can't ...compute. Can't....compute. Can't....compute.
