Six Degrees of Barack Obama By Daniel J. Kelley

Are the Democrats and the American People About to be Mugged by a Con Artist?

Some Democrats are beginning to feel pangs of remorse over the candidacy of Barack Obama as they head to Denver. The presumptive nominee appears to be fully capable of snatching defeat out of the jaws of certain victory.

Do we CARE that the Democrats were hoodwinked by a con artist and are having buyers’ remorse? The REPUBLICANS got snookered as well, and nobody much on this side is too happy with the outcome either.

This country is so screwed.

The thing is not to take any of it too personally. We all have to get through the next four years, somehow, and there will still be some structure left standing, it will not be as if we are starting all over from scratch.

But we shall never be virtuous virgins again. That has been traded away forever.

born” ??

Wish I could disagree, but after Reagan, it is all downhill.

“When it all doesn’t work, and we’ve fallen into a depression, the MSM will still be putting out stories that things are better than they ever were.

It’s only when republicans are in office you see stories on unemployment and the homeless, even though the actual numbers are lower.”

Dead on , now if we could let everybody in world let that sink in for a month or two.

That is so weird!! I told someone the other day that Obama reminded me of that guy that Will Smith played in Six Degrees of Seperation. Really great movie too!

Unfortunately there are enough Americans dumber than a box of rocks for it to be profitable. Even the treasurer of the city of Clovis, New Mexico, (I think or it might have been Portales) used city funds on behalf of the city in a scam similar to these several years ago.

It's the dumba## Americans who are voting for this idiot. Don't for one minute lump us in with these American imbeciles. When you refuse to face the truth, refuse to ask questions and demand answers, do not know or care who the candidate is, who he associates with and what his ideas are, except that he's for CHANGE, HOPE AND UNITY, it is these idiots that are being scammed. And with enough of these idiots voting the big idiot, may win.

The rats are trying to force America to go to the left by hijacking the political process. America appears to be smarter than what they give us credit for.

Even with the MSM polling and constant media bias towards the rats, people are smelling a king rat in Obama. He is a socialist plant, someone with little on record that requires explanations. The left is trying to force us into their agenda. And we are going to have to use force to back them down.

The problem is that so many Indies, most minorities , and much of the so called youth vote are already mesmerized by the faux Messiah: the socialist pacifist with the media playing the Pied Piper. Peace at any price, socialism domestically will be the call by the Dems in their leadership, both in the Executive and Congressional offices.Frankly, I cannot see how to stop this fraud unless Pubs of all stripes unite and get some of the Indies’ vote to prevent the most dangerous candidate we have had running for office since Henry Wallace and other Dem lefties. Perhaps BO is the most dangerous because he fits the pattern of the university radical.

The scariest thing, in my opinion, is that these 'university radicals' are teaching our children and young adults.

If we're going to get this country back on the track to sanity we've got to reclaim our public and private schools from their socialist unions and teachers.

I got a weird one once that told me I won the Irish Sweepstakes by coming in second. The first place winner declined the prize. What are these people smoking when they write these things? I always thought you had to enter something to win. They must think most Americans are like the DemocRATS. Dumber than a box of rocks.


But the analogy is perfect - this is the conclusion I’ve finally come to. Pulling a lever for a RAT is *precisely* like thinking Ed McMahon is going to show up at your door step with one of those 6 foot checks, a vanful of pretty girls, and a bunch of ballons. The mentality, the mindset, the lack of logic is exactly the same. The fact that it hasn’t worked 999,999 times before doesn’t prevent a certain percentage of the population from thinking it’s going to work this time. Sad but true.

I’ve gotten 5 thus far this month. Keep referring them to the fraud dept but that doesn’t seem to help.
