Liberals going crazy because they are realizing the messiah is an empty suit. I love the last part of the article..........It is true that on the stump, Obama goes on the attack. But those are fragments -- maybe 15 seconds on the evening news. It is with extended interviews, such as the Sunday shows, that we get to visit with the man -- and that man, for all his splendid virtues, seems to lack fight. Maybe he's worried about how America would receive an angry black man or maybe he's just too cool to ever get hot, but the end result is that we have little insight into his passions: What, above all, does he care about? The answer, at least to the Sunday TV viewer, was nothing much."
The truth is being told by the liberal Richard Cohen...Obama cares about Obama, and nothing else. That even liberal columnists from the Wash Post are writing about this means the 'bitter folks in small town America, clinging to their guns and religion' have figured that out already.

Obama doesn’t have to fight. He’s got the entire media fighting for him!

MSNBC couldn't do what they did to Hillary. Obama isn't up to it
Thats why he is begging the Clinton's and other Democrats.

I’ve read this line here: When the truth is revealed about a Republican it’s called “vetting.” When the truth is revealed about a Democrat it’s called “swiftboating.”

Geez, I always thought “Swift-Boating” meant revealing a concealed truth about a lying candidate!

“This is what was done in 2004 to John Kerry, who had commanded a Swift boat in Vietnam. Kerry had won three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star and had emerged from the war a certified hero.”
Sure. So that is why the vast majority of the men who served closest to him signed on with the Swift Boaters.
And what about the gross ambiguity surrounding those medals?
Cohen is a delusional re-writer of first-person certified historical fact. In other words, just another lying garden-variety liberal.

To: milwguy
They ooze smarm, contempt, sarcasm and bile. Who in their right mind would vote for their favored candidate? In their minds, liberals are elitists!

BS. Kerry was an opportunist there and a traitor when he came back.

Obama won’t be getting his grove on any time soon. He is so yesterday and yesterday doesn’t sell in the media. Sarah Palin is the excitement gal now, not Obama

Correction, when lies and rumors are spread about a Republican, it’s called vetting. The Democrats want to pick their candidates, and Republican candidates as well. Palin is just unacceptable to them.

Kerry is not a certified hero, he never released his records like he said he would. If he lied about releasing his records he sure could lie about his decorations. Junior Officers get a lot of decorations by trading.

I still don’t get how Sarah Palin is so freaking unqualified and Obama is. I mean what the hell has he done besides run for president? He probably looks at himself in the mirror everyday and pretends. The way it’s looking, that may be all he gets: his fantasies
To: milwguy
There is a special place in hell for liars such as this...

Obama thought he could simply waltz through the Primaries, the Convention and then the Campaign without ever having to reveal anything about his true beliefs and positions.
Then along comes Hurricane Sarah...looks like Obama's 'Chickens are coming home to roost'...lol

Thank God for Sarah Palin. Without her jibes, her sarcasm, her exaggerations, her smug provincialism, her hypocrisy about family and government, her exploitation of mommyhood and her personal attacks on Barack Obama, the Democratic base might never be consolidated. This much is certain: Obama could never do it.
LOL. Folks this what a liberal looks like when they know their movement is dying. Isn't it great?

“BS. Kerry was an opportunist there and a traitor when he came back.”
I REALLY resent the arrogant, elite media filtering a genuine grass-roots citizen movement through their usual, tired condescending liberal bias. All the facts fly directly in the face of Cohen’s assertions. It is especially reprehensible when those citizens are former soldiers.
Where exactly did you serve Cohen? Let me guess.

Only in your dreams, Cohen. Or, in this case, your nightmares. YOU MSM IDIOTS helped turn Palin into a rock star. McCain has the base consolidated. Obama and Biden have theirs tapped out and disillusioned.
