Obama Trying to Look More and More Like McCain
Pajamas Media ^ | September 7, 2008 | Victor Davis Hanson

On matters like abortion, capital punishment, gun control and FISA, Obama again moves closer to McCain rather than vice versa. Apparently, he realizes that no northern Democratic liberal has been elected since JFK, nearly a half-century ago—an amazing fact in and of itself—and so has to follow the Bill Clinton centrist route, which can be accomplished by a variety of measures....

Obama trying to look more like McCain? He has to grow a pair first.

Second, what's he trying to do, get his new face on a three dollar bill or something?

And when JFK was elected, he got a minority of the popular vote. Mississippi and Alabama both sent slates of undeclared electors. Deduct the share of those voters from the Democratic popular vote, and even with the stuffing in Illinois and Texas, JFK was a minority president.

“Translation: lie about being a liberal to get elected.”

He will gladly throw moveon.org, DU, Kos and the rest of their ilk under the bus to get power.

“Obama Trying to Look More and More Like McCain”

...that explains why suddenly Obama is 6 inches shorter, has a white comb over and bad teeth.

Well, Barry, to really look like McCain, you’d have to go to Vietnam and get the crap beaten out of you for several years. You just don’t have time.

JFK was no liberal. He ran to the right of Nixon

He's trying to be something's he not. People can see right through him and that's why Obama is in such deep trouble now!

This is like after game 1 of 88 world series. Heck, Sarah Palin probablly gave the highlights that night. (She was a sports broadcaster at that time)

Oakland was favored to win. Tommy Lasorda sends Gibson to the plate. Gibson had been banged up, Nobody expected him to do anything. People would have second guessed the decision for an eternity if he would have failed. Expectations are low...and then....YES. BOOM.

The As were stunned. It blew their socks off, Everybody in America knew the World Series was over.

It is still early, the Democrats still have a chance to win. But if you look into their eyes, what do you see ?

YES.

TBS is rerunning Saving Private Ryan, and I watch this, and I’m trying to put Obama in the film in some roll...and I can’t.

Not from the Bixby Letter to the defense of that small town in France, there is no Obama “organizer roll” in that film.

Obamao flunks the test.

Now all he has to do is to get Joe Biden to like Sarah Palin.

This is why the McCain campain (or one of the 527s) need to make an ad aimed to the young voters, who somehow buy into Obama is post-racial, post-party politician who will unite every body.

The ad should show that Obama is 'your ordinary politican. The extraordinary about him is he changes his positions faster than any other politican.'
