'O' WHAT A LUCKY BREAK THIS FELLOW IS GETTING

Call him Barack O'Bama - for he's got the luck of the Irish.

The very week he faces his toughest obstacle ever - one that may still derail his candidacy - Obama gets a near-game-ending pot of gold.

It now appears certain that Hillary Rodham Clinton's efforts to rewrite party rules in a desperate search for a lifeline have failed.

Her absurd proposal of counting her "wins" in Michigan and Florida - long after everyone agreed they wouldn't count - has been laughed off the table.

And now, it appears, there won't even be any revotes.

While revotes are the only way to resolve the matter justly, they would have been problematic for Obama ever since his insane preacher - who makes the Black Panthers seem docile - became a household name.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright would have terrified elderly Democrats in Florida and blue-collar whites in Michigan.

But Obama's luck doesn't end there. The timing of this whole mess couldn't have been better, because it competed for airtime with Eliot Spitzer's sexcapades.

The tapes have been around for years but came out only after Obama established himself as a solid front-runner.

And when they finally got widespread attention, it was during the longest spell of the campaign without any contests.

The next primary is still more than four weeks away in Pennsylvania, where Obama was going to lose anyway.

But luck is never just luck, and Obama works very hard.

The Wright scandal has been Obama's Gennifer Flowers moment.

And just as Bill Clinton handled that first great bimbo eruption, Obama handled this quite deftly.

The "Big O" is still giving big o's.

[TommyDale]

He will be clobbered in November after the 527’s run commercials all year long with his pastor’s hate speech being shown 24/7.

[tomnbeverly]

Thats cause the media has an Obama love fest going on this racist bigot sterotyped whites as being afraid of their own shadow...

I am no more a Typcial White Person then Obams is a typical... (i have more class then Obama so I wont go there)

[acapesket]

Mc Queeg won’t let that happen, he’ll graciously hand over the victory to the Obamessiah.

[Snardius]

Barack The Magic Negro will surely be favored right up until the time Hillary! runs him off the cliff and steals the nomination. Boy is this going to be fun to watch...

[misterrob]

How about his comments about his grandmother being a typical white person?

That ought to go over well with some people.

In the end I think that this is very positive for the country. People need to see the racism that exists in this country that isn’t just whitey. Once we get to that place then true unity can occur.

From your lips...

These guys are reading too many of their own positive reviews of Baraq’s speech. That speech was a dud, and the real lucky person in the equation is John McCain. Baraq can’t be elected and the Nominatrix can’t get nominated w/o splitting the party — ergo, McCain gets elected and the Dimwits implode. America wins.

[swain_forkbeard]

I don’t think so. McCain wants it. Bad.

his insane preacher - who makes the Black Panthers seem docile

Good one!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I’m not buying this guys assumptions. Obama continues to go down in the polls.

[milwguy]

Exactly....The only people who think his speech was brilliant are the liberl MSM and those drinking the Obama KOOL AID...the other 80% of the population is seeing right through his BS.

[Jack Wilson]

Hillary is working the super-delegates right now. They wanted her originally, then Obama came along and mucked things up. Now they can go back to Hillary.

[Disturbin]

Not a bad strategy by the Clintons — get the Wright scandal going right before primary re-dos so Obama is sure to tank.

[bert]

.....The only people who think his speech was brilliant are the liberl MSM and those drinking the Obama KOOL AID......

They are not really praying, but all are saying “Oh God!!! what a disaster”

[RouxStir]

I’d love to see Hillary run as an independent.

“How about his comments about his grandmother being a typical white person?”

Our response: Barack Obama is a typical dishonest politician, throws his own Grandmother under the bus to save his political skin.

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”

Here is the link to the Star Spangled Banner video with obama standing there without his hand over his heart...

Notice her ear ring!

[Lizavetta]

Anybody else but me notice how invisible Oprah has been since Rev. Wright hit the news?

She used to be a member/donor to that church a few years ago, wasn't she? I wonder how her white bread moron audience feels about her connection to this racist church.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

I don’t think so. McCain wants it. Bad.

I agree, McCain is not about to hand over the Presidency to Hussein. Some people are just so full of hate for McCain that they can't see past the end of their nose.
