Obama seems inept at patriot games: Clinton wisely mum as troubles engulf rival

Happy Easter from the Obamas!

We are currently at sea, due to arrive at Easter Island to visit Barak's homeland.

[battlegearboat]

Barak is coming!

Forget the wheels coming off - all that will be left of the Obamamobile will be a flaming car seat with a crash-test-dummy strapped in.

>>>He has no loyalty to anyone or anything<<<

Oh Obama's got loyalities all right. He just doesn't want to spell them out prior to the election.

[The_Reader_David]

I’d like Watts, but evidently some sort of scandal has been attached to him.
Steele? Has he won any elections or held any major cabinet post?

“They open with video of his wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America “for the first time in my adult lifetime” because of her husband’s presidential candidacy”

Yay! The actual quote. Usually the media attempts to dishonestly claim Obama said for the first time she was “really proud” of her country.

[Bobalu]

They open with video of his wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time in my adult lifetime" because of her husband's presidential candidacy. Cut to the Illinois Senator explaining that he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it is a "substitute for true patriotism." Then flash a clip of Obama explaining that his Caucasian grandmother was a "typical white person" because she uttered racial epithets and was afraid of black people. Finally, the coup de grace, pictures of Obama's angry, arm-waving preacher blaming the United States for 9/11 and shouting "God Damn America" to the rafters of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Some resourceful freeper should put this ad together and post it on youtube :-)

from the article: I had a sickening feeling watching Obama's speech [on race]. This was a great speech. And he showed a lot of the character that a president should have," says Munger. "But that's not how we elect presidents. We elect presidents with 30-second ads about Swift boats." Or maybe not.

Who cares if it was a great speech or not? It doesn't change the fact that Obama associated himself with Wright for 20 years of his life; he damage has been done. All the Obama supporters of course want the whole issue to disappear, they want to believe that you can do something bad and when discovered simply say a few words and it all goes away.

The whole affair sheds an unpleasant light upon Obama's candidacy. Even should he convince the voters that he doesn't share in his pastor's hateful rhetoric, he still is clearly revealed for what he is - a political opportunist. For a campaign based on nothing but the notion that he's a really, really nice guy that's the most damaging revelation there could be.

If the Democrats thought that the VRWC was a problem for before.....they are now probably more concerned about the VWWC; Vast Wright Wing Conspiracy!

Obama's a charter member!

[VeniVidiVici]

Of course, the delightful irony is that if they do that, they will alienate black voters, and feed the kind of white-conspiracy theory that Reverend [sic] Wright likes to peddle from his pulpit.

Exactly right. But the Democrats don't care. Why? Because they take Black voters for granted every year and every year Blacks vote in the 90% for the Democrat candidate. They will with Hillary too.

They truly are slaves on the Democrat plantation.

I hear that this Easter weekend, Obama has retired to an undisclosed location.

[wardaddy]

I hate to say it but I doubt the RNC has the balls to really drive this home.

Best bet is Mac’s temper letting it loose in debate if Obama riles him.

That will be fine if he hammers it home.

That Obama even has a snowball’s chance in hell just shows how far we have fallen.

nay, not fallen.....FRIGGIN COLLAPSED

[Red Steel]

I predict they will give Clinton the nomination and use her uncounted “wins” in MI and FL as political cover.

Then the hardcore Obama supporters stay home or vote McCain. The Dems have no way out.

GREAT Video!

[river rat]

Apparently, Obama didn’t learn much at Harvard — take away his teleprompter, the script and his notes and Obama couldn’t sell whiskey to an drunk.

[2ndDivisionVet]

"The Dems have no way out."

Albert Gore, Jr. and a black politician to be named later?

[Red Steel]

A smoky back room deal that disenfranchises the Dem voters.

BTW, Gore appears to look like he's about 330 lbs.

[Bobalu]

Thanks for the link,,,that is a great video!

And thank you for your service to our country sir! :-)

[wardaddy]

LOL

too funny.

wonder which side Obama’s ancestors took in the great Sooty Tern wars

oh that’s right, they don’t believe in war...just hating whitey
