Guess which card Obama pulled out of the deck today?

With both Rasmussen and Gallup showing Barack Obama moving backwards even before the Republican Convention dropped its balloons on Andrea Mitchell, one can excuse the Democratic nominee for hearing footsteps. How desperate has he gotten? Looks like he’s playing the race card once again:

“I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.”

“And I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.,’ You know, ‘he’s got funny name,’ You know, ‘we’re not sure about him,’” Obama continued. “And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’

Nope, we've never had a true Communist ever run on the Democrat ticket...

Father - A Communis

Mother a Communist sympathizer

Step Father - a Communist

Mentor in Hawaii (Frank Marshall Davis) - A Communist

Source of political ideology (Alinsky) - A Marxist

Patron of political career - A communist Terrorist

Pastor - Pastor of a church that promotes Marxist Black Liberation Theology.

See a pattern here? There are plenty of others...

....but poor Barry has no one but his typical white grandparents.

And his beloved friends, William Ayers and Reverend Wright. If media were fair, instead of repeatedly questioning Sarah Palin's vetting, they would apply the same question to Obama? By not doing so, the media has proven itself corrupt and unbelievable to the average American (they are gravely mistaken thinking we are not observing their bias).

My family, for instance, no longer watches network news (including PBS). There is not a shred of fairness amongst the lot of them. Enough is enough.

“...with a funny name.”

...and did I mention, she’s a girl?”

I'm trying to find the quote from his Audacity of Hope in which obama says that--if it comes down to it--he'll side with the muslims over the Christians.

The quote, taken in context, doesn't quite say that. IIRC, the general implication was that if there were major unfounded attacks against Muslims (e.g. people started attacking anyone who looked vaguely Muslim) he would seek to defend the targets of such attacks. Hardly unreasonable.

There are many things he says in his book which, even in context, are pretty scary. The line you referenced about Muslims really isn't one of them.

Thanks...I’ve been finding that.
