Yeah Obama, go curl up in the fetal position under your couch and suck your thumb, just like you’ll do when the world implodes around you if you’re elected.

Strategists for Mr. Obama, the countrys first black nominee, have made it clear that they believe they need to take extra steps to control his image and protect against attack.Translation: they realize he's a real moron when he's off the teleprompter, so they can't let that happen anymore.

“The campaign on Monday barred cameras from a large gathering of African-American civic leaders Mr. Obama attended. In spirited discussions with reporters barred from Monday’s meeting with African-American civic leaders, aides said that no cameras were allowed because the participants wanted the meeting to be private, even though it was announced on the daily hotel roster of events. Later, other aides said the lighting was not properly set up for television quality.”
So, he doesn’t want to be photographed with black people? The excuse that participants wanted the meeting to be private, like the religious meeting, wasn’t floated. Later, aides said it was the “lighting”. So, keep out the TV, let the other reporters in.
This guy has identity issues. His life, his campaign.

...two Muslim women said they were prohibited from sitting behind the candidate because they were wearing head scarves... Let's start a pool as to how long it will be before we see head scarves sitting behind the candidate now that the New York Times has told us how un-pc this was.

“But the incident,first reported Wednesday byPolitico.com, pointed to pitfalls the campaign faces as it moves into the general election and seeks to maintain control of Mr. Obamas image by tightly managing his public appearances.”
Like they haven’t been doing this right along?

They are having to hide who this marxist is more and more as they go. Thios will not be lost on the voting public who cherish or nation and its fundameental values and principles.
If we work hard and educate folks and get all of those committed Americans out, it will suffice.

He doesn't want another tape leak like the one from SF about people in flyover country clinging to guns and religion.

I seem to recall that at some event earlier this year his campaign people asked some black people to move from behind his podium area so that they could show “more diversity”.

One of the challenges that we are confronting very directly is dealing with the rumors and the e-mails, the inaccurate information about Senator Obama and Michelle Obama,Ms. Dunn said,and were going to deal with that very aggressively through a number of mediums.![](http://www.bloodhoundrealty.com/BloodhoundBlog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/miss-cleo.jpg)

Yes, something on the order of Mrs. Obama asking for more white people to be on the stage.

I find his “Christian” faith as suspect as the faith to which he was born.

As Rush Limbaugh observed, Leftists cannot be truthful. If they were they couldn't get elected.
And then, of course, taqiyya and kitman, both ancient Arabic--and Muslim--words and strategies, must be considered.
Taqiyya is keeping one's convictions secret.
Kitman is keeping one's intentions, including malevolent intentions, secret.
In Spain, before 1492 when the Muslims were expelled, Muslims would attend mass and returned home to wash their hands of the holy water.
According to Christian ethics lying is a sin. In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the use of taqiyya against the unbelievers is regarded as a virtue and a religious duty.
