...a personal history that is startlingly shallow set against the scale of the office he seeks to hold

Yup.

I’m at a loss for how Obama managed to assume this role, outside of the massive media promotion, especially beginning on election night 2004. You’d figure since he was in the state senate for 8 years Illinois would be a veritable paradise and have an afterglow from Obama’s aura. But I didn’t notice much inspired leadership coming from him all those years (or from anyone else for that matter) and if the Democratic and Republican U.S. Senate frontrunners hadn’t fallen to scandals, Obama would still be toiling away in obscurity in Springfield.

Sure, he is physically appealing and suave and well-spoken and all that, but where is the substance? This is a time in our history in which we need substance by the ton and, so far, I haven’t seen it in Obama.

"The Illinois senator is indeed, an unusually talented, inspiring and charismatic figure." His talent lies in his ability to bamboozle the retarded. This talk of charisma is total BS. His presence is very unimpressive and his ability to speak and the BS about his alleged eloquence is just not true. His manner of speech is mechanical "be dada be dada be da" That's his speech pattern. There is nothing more to it. "His very ethnicity offers an exciting departure." That's the whole thing. His "ethnicity is the sole reason for the creation and praise of false abilities and talents supposedly possessed by this mediocre clown.

But he is not a saint. He is a (smart and eloquent) More pandering to his ethnicity man with a personal history that is startlingly shallow set against the scale of the office he seeks to hold" Now that's the truth.

"McCain is the Republican who has received probably the single most favourable treatment from the media in the past 40 years. He has been a favourite because he conformed to the first law of contemporary political journalism: the only good conservative is a bad conservative. His willingness to defy Betray would be the more appropriate word his party on everything from taxes to global warming"

Actually, a pretty good assessment of the dishonorable reprobate.

Why don't we turn the MSM's deification of Obama into an opportunity to permanently de-claw the IRS?

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.

Read all this about the media love-fest for Obama, and you would think there was some possibility that the man will be able to draw flies in the general election. The WV primary is a harbinger of the kind of result to be expected in the general election.

McCain is no bargain by any means, but they say it's better to be luck than good. And McCain at least hasn't married a woman who hates me, and hasn't raised his children to hate me. I should be able to expect that much in a president . . .

I believe that I saw the same redeemer in the pages of MAD magazine.

Didn’t RFK Jr. take Teddy Kennedy to task for endorsing Obama over Hillary and proclaiming him the new JRFK?

“Mr Obama’s strikingly vacuous political background”

Wonderful.

It is not only legitimate, but necessary, to scrutinise his past and infer what it might tell us about his beliefs, in the absence of the normal record of achievement expected in a presidential nominee.

As it is necessary to scrutinize one's allegiances.

Good read. Few things measure up to the journalistic adventure of that which flows from the pen of a Brit who has his eyes open and his head on straight.

Love it! :-) The author busted the MSM’s religious devotion and worshipfulness of Ubama perfectly!

“Oh! Bama!” LOL. :-)
