The Washington Post reports that Sen. Barack Obama is aggressively trying to “reintroduce” himself to voters, echoing the spin of Obama’s advisers that not everyone knows him yet. In reality, Obama’s major campaign challenge will not be to reveal, but to conceal his true identity.
Obama is not trying to introduce himself to unreached voters, but is engaged in damage control with many he’s already reached — and insulted and disillusioned.
As long as he was soaring above the fray with the lofty rhetoric of hope, change and unity, Obama could masquerade as a quasi-messianic figure, but once forced into the nitty-gritty of contested issues and debates, his false visage began to crack. Those cracks expanded into campaign-threatening fissures when voters learned about Obama’s sordid associations and left-wing elitist snobbery toward small-town America.
The Post says that in his reintroduction, Obama has “offered a clear road map for the kind of candidate he is likely to become: an ambitious gamer of the electoral map, a ruthless fund-raiser and a scrupulous manager of his own biography in the face of persistent concerns about how he is perceived.”
What the Post left out is that Obama has also shown himself to be an unscrupulous master of the politics of calculation and expedience. Whether on public finance, NAFTA, Iran, Iraq, Jerusalem, special interests, Cuba, illegal immigration or the decriminalization of marijuana, Obama has demonstrated a propensity for flip-flopping that could embarrass the grandmaster himself, Sen. John Kerry.

Common ‘Rat ploy. Run as a Leftist during the Primaries and then as a Centrist for the General Election. Gore and Kerry attempted likewise.
It’s worked really well for them lately, hasn’t it?
“Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste.”
According to Israelinsider, “It is now a certainty that the “birth certificate” claimed by the Barack Obama campaign as authentic is a photoshopped fake.”
“The image, purporting to come from the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past few weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the required features of a certified birth document—features that Obama’s purported “birth certificate” clearly lack.
But what his campaign has put forward as genuine, according to the senior spokesman in the relevant department of the State of Hawaii, is not in fact a certified copy. It is not valid.
“Whereas the uncertified Obama document provides the date “filed by registrar”, the certified DeCosta document provides the date “accepted by the registrar.” The difference between filing an application for a Certification of Live Birth and having it accepted may be key here.
“The Obama campaign, however, continues to flaunt the unstamped, unsealed, uncertified document—notably in very low resolution—on its “Fight the Smears” website, with campaign officials vowing that it’s authentic, sending the image around as “proof” to reporters, and inviting supporters to refer to it as they battle against supposed distortions and calumnies against their candidate. However, the campaign refuses to produce an authentic original birth certificate from the year of Obama’s birth, or even a paper version with seal and signature of the “Certification of Live Birth.” Nor has it even published an electronic copy with the requisite embossed seal and signature.
“Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.”
“Barack Obama is every bit as politically calculating as Bill Clinton was, but twice as smooth. And if that doesn’t jolt you, you’re sleeping.”
I disagree with DL here - to me, BHO couldn’t be any more transparent. He’s not that good, a sure loser in November.
The masses are in a self induced “worship”, it doesn’t matter what his record is they will vote for him. It is the oddest thing I have ever seen.
Obama caught in outright lie on video
Adios Trinity! I'm out of here for now!
This is my church, the one I never quit.
"You can be sure there will be no clear answer from Obama. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to those who blindly follow him."
Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!
Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!
Why is the certificate # blacked out?
African is not a race! In 1961, wouldn't Negro or Negroid have been used to describe his Father's race instead of African?
Where is the indentation of the official seal and the folded marks, the rest of us have on our valid birth certificate copies?
Last but not least: What are the reverse purple lettering past the last entry line on the lower middle right? What do they mean, and why are they there?
Did Dan Blather's liar, Mary Mapes create this bs?
Is this phoney birth certificate just another example of the Real but Fake Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, the Islamofacist Manchurian Candidate for Changing America?
Compare this doctored and phoney BC with a real one shown below:
We probably have as much chance of seeing a real copy of his birth certificate as seeing John Kerry’s full military record. Kerry refused to release his military records, and Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, the Islamofacist Manchurian Candidate will probably not show his BC. We will be labeled as racists for daring to question his birth.
I really don't believe that "smooth" business. The first time I heard BC speak I got a very strange (creepy) feeling, it was at a "gut level" and I instinctively knew he was lying to me and was not to be trusted.
The first time I heard BO speak, I got that creepy feeling again. The cadence, pitch, and intonation are well rehearsed and sound to me like a lead nickel hitting the counter. His mellow modulations sound to me like fingernails scrapping down a chalk board.
My newly found BS meter says that this man is hollow and the truth is not in him. I would never trust him to run a lemonade stand let alone this Blessed Land.

PS Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, I'm going to have to change the battery in my BS detector and soon if the dim's keep up this trend.
Seems like some very powerful people have created a puppet to rule the masses.
Swartzeneger would make a heck of a better President. If they are going to ram a foreigner, I prefer Arnold.
