It's All About Obama
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 26, 2008 | Karl Rove

Posted on 06/25/2008 8:04:59 PM PDT by Kleebo151

Many candidates have measured the Oval Office drapes prematurely. But Barack Obama is the first to redesign the presidential seal before the election.

His seal featured an eagle emblazoned with his logo, and included a Latin version of his campaign slogan. This was an attempt by Sen. Obama to make himself appear more presidential. But most people saw in the seal something else – chutzpah – and he's stopped using it. Such arrogance – even self-centeredness – have featured often in the Obama campaign. [It's All About Obama] AP The presumptive nominee's presumptive "presidential" seal.

Consider his treatment of Jeremiah Wright. After Rev. Wright repeated his anti-American slurs at the National Press Club, Mr. Obama said their relationship was forever changed – but not because of what he'd said about America. Instead, Mr. Obama complained, "I don't think he showed much concern for me."

Translation: Rev. Wright is an impediment to my ambitions. So, as it turns out, are some of Mr.

This whole seal deal will not help Obama at all. His elitist, snobbish image will penetrate further into voters' minds.

It'sd all about Obama because his ardent followers (including the MSM) are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth, and regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol and they the idolaters. His campaign media-blitz has been designed and engineered to evoke just such mindless hero worship without considering specific positions.


Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

Those wild-eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the propaganda they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.

You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.

Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black, not caring to hear or look at his actual positions.

Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.

The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lennin for the dupes he got to support him.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans, of all races and creeds, who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.

Finally, understand that this is not the first time in history that rock-star, messianic status has been conferred on a populist, charismatic individual in order to hand them the reigns of power. Although there are many critical differences, still it is important when you consider the danger that this candidate poses to American foreign policy, our economy, our social fabric, and to the war we are fighting against fanatical Islamic Jihad terrorists, to note the following comparison:


A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Simply put, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

The Obamanation represents the epitome of the radical, Marxist far left, composed of traditional limosine liberals, communists, crooks, charlatans, reprobates, and flat-out American traitors.

He scores very high in every category.

He could cover this attitude only so long. He’ll eventually turn so many voters off with his arrogance and stupidity without the teleprompter.

“At a time when magnanimity was called for, the candidate decided he’d strut.”

IOW, Obama has no class.

What, just because he killed a seal that was less than a week old?

He needs his own seal. It just shouldn’t be an eagle. It should be a peacock.

Mr. McCain will be helped if he uses Mr. Obama's actions to paint his opponent as someone driven by an all-powerful instinct to look out only for himself.

As Clinton so effectively proved Democrats love a President looks out only for himself.

The Under the Bus scoreboard to date:

1. Typical white grandma
2. Tony Rezko
3. Jeremiah Wright
4. Trinity UCC (after the umpteenth loony Pflegler guest
sermon)
5. Muslim women wearing hijab
6. Scarlett Johansson “E-mail relationship”
7. Faux presidential seal

Slightly under the bus:

1. Michelle (he made her knock off the ranting/whining)

[The voters] may well reject as cynical any maneuver to discourage close examination of him by suggesting any criticism is racially motivated. -Karl Rove

This awkward sentence speaks of an effect which could possibly tip the 2008 election to John McCain if the Obama campaign finds it necessary to stop using the tactic. I am not holding my breath, however. Demonizing the opposition as demonizers works very well for liberal heros like B.J. (Clinton) and B.O.

I am not sure we can put that much faith in the American people, sadly. When the media makes his propaganda sound so heroic and shows it in a pure white light, it must be right. Right?

The GOP should beat Obama up over the seal the way the Dems attacked President Bush for “Mission Accomplished.”

When you repeat a lie enough times, it can become truth. That said, at some point, the voters will realize that the emperor has no clothes, so to speak. Hope and pray that such realization will come before November 4, 2008.
