There is a general sense — after Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana — that the white working class is somehow illiberal, and so now the Obamiacs discuss, ponder, and fret over the “race question” ahead. But the problem is not, and has never really been, race, at least any more than it was in having a black secretary of state or Supreme Court justice or chairman of the Joint Chiefs, but simply the question of grievance.
When Obama bought stock in the Trinity race industry, he sent a message that grievance-blaming America, the country’s past, whites, and present bias — not behavior or values of a black underclass — explains almost all problems in the black community. That deeply offended poor whites who haven’t had anything handed to them, recent immigrants whose ancestors had nothing to do with Wright’s rogue’s gallery of evil white men, and Hillary’s women supporters whose glass-ceiling argument was out victimized (cf. Bill’s rant about Trinitites cheering as Fr. Pfleger caricatured Hillary as a racist).
When pundits say that Obama “must define himself” or “introduce himself to the American people” they are on to something they don’t fully understand. Better to define his problem as this: Each time he soars with his lofty utopian rhetoric, the not-so-amnesiac voter frowns, and then remembers Wright’s hatred, Obama’s former investment in it, and the abject absence of a truly honest and principled discussion of his disturbing past subsidy of it.

I just had a thought..Maybe we should start using the word "Trainee".....?
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a post turtle’.’ Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was. The old rancher said,’When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.’ The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face,so he continued , ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and yo u just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there to begin with. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.
Never mind, I had to search to find it though.
He is not our problem. He will be easy to beat. The vital problem is how to get a conservative spine implanted in McCain’s back. So far there is not much material to work with. Eric Cantor is a political moron who can not help us. Please find your own conservative candidate whether in your district or not and get working. Any money you would give to McCain, split and give half to a real conservative.
To those who think killing the patient to save him works, please think again. We are in a very dire situation and allowing barack mcgovern to take us into the sewer will not help anything. What damage McCain does can possibly be fixed. What damage an all democrat administration does might not be. We only have one chance to get this right.
If shallow “love” showiness and hate sell so easily as Obama has proven - by not merely flip floping but engaging in dangerous charismatic hitlerian dynamism, the race to the destruction of the planet and each other is on... courtesy the entitled and the Democrates.
I agree - we only have one chance to get this right, but there are WAY too many people who are looking at the job of President of the United States like running a McDonald’s.
Millions of people are backing a man based on his skin color, not qualifications. He has none - zilch, nada, zero. The White House is no place for on the job training.
‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself’
Isn't it amazing (NOT!) how two bit nobodies come from nowhere in the RAT party. Carter, Clinton, Obama. They give the keynote speech at the prior convention, evidence that it is all being scripted.
Carter was in for only 4 years and 99% of all the really nasty foreign policy issues we have today are courtesy of him and his policies. Over 25 years later!!!
brilliant!
I like the “post turtle” story. Barack Mohammed (since we are no longer to refer to his given middle name) Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, has to be the ultimate post turtle.
In you are looking for the dumb @ss who put him there, study the flow of money from the George Soros octopus to the campaign of Obama. The shift from the Clintons could not be more apparent than the results we now see.
The Democrat National Committee is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soros International. Soros is also behind the manipulation of the oil prices in the world, and the continuing downward pressure on the dollar, a series of market ploys he has used against other economies in the past.
Look it up. The US economy is just the biggest coup he has so far attempted.
Had enough? If so, speak up.
Seems to me this job is nothing but a prospector for a lawyers office looking for clients that can file claims for discrimination in housing or something. Get enough people organized and you got yourself a class action suit.
Who paid Obama? Did he get a cut of the awards?
A teacher in Elmira, New York, who is an Obama supporter, asked her 4th grade class,”How many of you are Obama fans?”
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands, except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he decided to be different?
Little Johnny said, “Because I’m not an Obama fan.”
The teacher asked, “Why aren’t you an Obama fan?”
Johnny said, “Because I’m a Conservative .”
The teacher asked him why he’s a Conservative .
Little Johnny answered, ” Well, my Mom’s a Conservative and my Dad’s a Conservative, so I’m a Conservative.”
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, “If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?”
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, ”That would make me an Obama fan.”
jmaroneps37, I agree with your take on the election.
From what I recently read, he was a member of ACORN - another leftist group, fighting against just about everything we here at FR believe in. Go figure.
>>Barack Obama: Rookie

You don’t send a boy to do a man’s job.
