Obama's "choice of one of the biggest establishment creeps in the Senate as his running mate did nothing to boost his numbers -- no significant convention bounce for him."

We don't need a president who hasn't the courage to admit that his previous policy failed and openly change his mind -- the way President Bush did when he determined to change strategy and execute the surge.
We saw your true colors when you sneered at white middle-class voters who cling to guns and religion because they're bitter, as if an entire class of "those people" can be analyzed and dismissed in a sentence.
McCain was not my choice for President at the beginning of the campaign a couple of years ago, Mr. Obama. You were. I rooted for you. I voted for you as recently as the North Carolina primary.
Obviously, I have changed my mind. Why?
I learned a little more about McCain. I learned a lot more about you.

This is fascinating. Unless there are enough people who begin to take this view we are in danger of putting in to office a Marxist, Islamic appeasing thug. If that happens, God help us all...
Excellent article.
What ever possesses a person to excerpt an article and not start at the beginning?
Relating the most important information seems... most... important. ;->
Quite an essay, and one I have emailed to some who need to read it. Thanks for posting.
Obama's "choice of one of the biggest establishment creeps in the Senate as his running mate did nothing to boost his numbers -- no significant convention bounce for him."
Or maybe we should let the author decide whats most important. Wait. They already have by putting it first.
Good post from Orson S. Card...I had to go back and revisit his site...he has interesting articles referring to his switch away from BO and why.
This site is hardly about just what authors think is important. And the inverted pyramid only applies to straight journalism.

That was a long read, but well worth it!
The reason Obama is not going to be President is because too many people are going to figure out that his is a LIAR! He lies about his record and he lies about his agenda. You can’t believe a word out of his mouth (or the media).

Fascinating. I reached exactly the same conclusion OSC did. Slightly different inputs, but same result. There is hope for the world after all.
Thanks for the ping!
