Obama's the Perfect Candidate for the Sally Field Party

by Seth Swirsky

Actress Sally Field won an Oscar in 1979 for playing a union organizer in “Norma Rae.” Six years later, she won the same prized-award for her role in “Places in the Heart,” her acceptance speech earning its own special place in sound-bite history:

“…I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!"

Sally Fields’ impromptu phrase explains the phenomenon that is Barack Obama. On the face of it, his resume is not befitting that of a President in these complex times. Experience-wise, years of “community organizing”– his longest held “position”– is ridiculously insufficient...

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

When have the Chinese cared anything about patent rights? They take whatever they want right now. The entire country is one, huge, black market.

After a good deal of reflection on the nature of the phenomenal rise of Barack Hussein Obama, including the reports of a crowd of 80,000 people coming to his campaign rally in Portland over the weekend, I think I have arrived at the perfect name for this "Candidate of Change:

PRINCE BARACK .

He's also the perfect candidate for our enemies.


AUDACITY OF TRUTH-BARACK NEVILLE HUSSEIN CHAMBERLAIN OBAMA


Barack Hussein Obama is the very apex of the anti-American, internal enemy in this country. IMHO, his election as President would be the greatest coup an enemy has ever scored against our nation, and could well turn into the greatest disaster this nation has ever faced.

Yeah, but Norma Rae and Places in the Heart are pretty good movies.

I saw it. But it reminded me of the inane TV series.
