I HAVE A DREAM for Sen. Barack Obama.
I have a dream that one day, for just 24 hours, he could be Sarah Palin.
OK, maybe that’s less of a dream and more a plot point from a bad Lindsay Lohan movie (redundancy alert!).
But imagine the Democratic nominee’s day as Barack Palin Obama:
He wake up and reaches for a secret cigarette and a copy of The New York Times [NYT]. Instead of the usual partisan puff pieces (“Obama Health Care Plan Pledges Miraculous Healings For All”), the Times is running exposes about his family.
Does his spouse have extremist political views? Who pays when his kids travel to Washington? And how do we know one of them isn’t really his grandkid?
Opening the editorial page Palin-Obama finds column after column filled with personal attacks and insults. Comments about his looks, how much his clothes cost, his speaking style - even suggestions that the radical teachings of his church might be a legitimate topic for discussion.
He clicks on MSNBC and sees the spittle-flecked face of Chris Matthews.
“Obama says he’s cutting taxes for 95 percent of taxpayers, but he’s not. He’s just sending them checks! No cut in their tax rate AT ALL! IT’S A LIE, A LIE! AAARRGGHHHH!
As the MSNBC medical staff fires yet another tranquilizer dart into Matthews’ thrashing body, Palin-Obama gets ready to face the day.
At the airport, Palin-Obama is under siege from the traveling press. “Why are you hiding, Sen. Obama? You haven’t taken questions from us since last month. Joe Biden hasn’t held a press avail since Sept. 7! Afraid he’ll make another ‘guaranteed crisis’ comment? How many more screw-ups before you dump the guy?”
A crowd of thousands gathers to hear...

If Obama got the coverage Gov. Palin has gotten he would be in the corner crouching in the fetal position sucking his thumb.
HAHA ! ! !
NO! BHO gives very few interviews. Not that anyone notices because he’s on the air non-stop with his ads.
Talk about buying an election. He’s already “bought” the pollsters and the press! The press will have to be held accountable for not vetting this guy! I thought they had a love fest for Bill Clinton...HA! Nothing like this!
I can dream can't I?
The only way this man gets rattled is when the media starts to go after him. Remember when he started making mistakes when Hillary started doing better in the polls and the media was turning on him for a short time......If we could only get the media to really report........... lots of luck
Regardless, McCain should have made the case that the media refused to make, with Exhibit 1 being Wright’s voice and Exhibit 2 an unapologetic concentration on the Ayers connection.
I have defended McCain on this forum, but I’ve come to believe that McCain has put his own reputation above his duty to his country in this election.
