"You are a crazy country," Tutu, 76, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, said in an interview with the Tribune. "You're a country that has I think some of the most generous people I've ever come across in the world." But he chided Americans for getting "very, very upset" with the pastor of Sen. Barack Obama, noting that Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. "may have said more crudely what, actually, almost every African-American would have wanted to say. "

I have come to the conclusion that the Democrat Illuminati have settled on Obama because he kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, his nomination will enable the white males who run the Democrat Party to say that they have shown their dedication to the struggle for equality, which will then enable them to promote white male Presidential candidates from 2012 ‘til Kingdom Come. On the other hand, I believe that it is essential to their future success that a Republican (especially a pliable Republican like McCain) remain nominally “in charge” so that Democrats can avoid taking responsibility for not having solutions to any of the actual or perceived problems that confront us, especially the price of a gallon of gas.

Obama wouldn’t deserve to hold a door open for Lincoln.

It’s ironic that now, 16 years too late, the left is finally seeing the Clintons for who they really are; I wonder how long it will be till they realize the same of Obama?

“elegantly Lincolnesque in a long wool coat, launching his presidential candidacy in the shadow of the old Illinois State Capitol.”

Did Obama wear a stovepipe hat? Under the definition of Lincolnesque, he must wear a stovepipe hat at all times. Sheesh! What idolatrous drivel.
