He could get filmed by the FBI smoking crack with a hooker in a hotel room and still get elected.
He could count on masses of votes from Black America and clueless libs.

When I was an Air Force pilot flying during the heightened tensions of the Cold War we carried “flash goggles” in our cockpits in the event we might be exposed to a nuclear detonation. The theory was that, without the goggles, the flash of a nuclear weapon would be so intense as to blind us rendering us incapable of completing our missions as we defended our nation.
Put on your flash goggles America. The mushroom cloud you see on the horizon is Barack Hussein Obama’s presidential viability, and that of his fellow Democratic candidates, exploding.
Obama is proving himself just another in the long line of Democrats who are incapable and unqualified of assuming the challenges and responsibilities required of America’s commander-in-chief. In the last two weeks, presidential candidate Obama has volunteered that, if elected, he would sit down with our enemies without preconditions, would not use nuclear weapons under “any circumstance,” and would attack the sovereignty of Pakistan, one of our closest allies in the global war with Islamofascism.
How clueless can you be and still run for the White House? Obama provides the answer. On July 23, Obama told a CNN/You Tube debate audience that he would be willing to sit down with America’s enemies, namely Iran’s Ahmadinejad, Syria’s Assad, North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il and Venezuela’s Chavez, without hesitation or consideration for the effects on America’s national security. Perhaps, this was an extemporaneous response on his part and one we could excuse as a fumble while carrying the ball under the pressure of a hard-fought campaign.
Just last week, however, he delivered a speech at the Woodrow Wilson International Center and threatened one of America’s closest allies in the war on terrorism, Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf. “Let me make this clear,” Obama said, “If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.” Obama’s naivete is astonishing. Choosing to shift the fight from Iraq, where we are fighting and killing Al Qaeda, to the land of an ally whose president is precariously close to losing control to homegrown Islamofascists, is stupefying.
No doubt if given the option, our enemy Al Qaeda would be thrilled to exchange the prospect of controlling Iraq and its oil fields for Pakistan’s cache of nukes. Roughly 90 percent of Pakistan’s population would support an overthrow of Musharraf in favor of a much more fundamentalist and Sharia-based government. The troubling nature of Obama’s veiled threat to the Pakistani government is that in this case these were prepared remarks.
The very next day, whatever small ration of credibility the Democratic candidate retained regarding national security, was lost. Speaking to the Associated Press, Obama stammered “I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance…involving civilians.” Desperately seeking to recover, he said, “Let me scratch that. There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.”
The only comfort we can take from this incredibly ignorant gaffe is that the “nuclear football” – the codes and other matters that enable the president to use nuclear weapons -- rests at the side of President George Bush and not that of the junior senator from Illinois. My new book, War Crimes: The Left’s Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror, documents the various elements of the de facto alliance of American institutions, organizations and politicians opposed to our victory in Iraq. The service and sacrifice of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines and our nation’s national security are the undeserving victims. This alliance of Americans (nominally) is comprised of anti-war organizations, academics in our educational system, elements of mainstream media, Hollywood popular culture and, yes, Democrat politicians.
I don’t think Husein Obama was ever a real, viable candidate. He just has too many negatives going for him. Despite all the money he has raised, when unsure of himself he defaults back to the liberal/socialist/commie answers for everything. The wrong answers, as it turns out.
The magic negro will pull a solution out of his hat...
“I don’t think Husein Obama was ever a real, viable candidate. He just has too many negatives going for him”
I like Obama and think he’s going to help America. All this money raised to support him is NOT going to viable Democratic candidates. This in turn helps America.
I am starting to think that Obama is there to direct fire away from Hillary. He’s making himself unelectable so that Hillary looks like a sane alternative.

The time tested racism trick.
Typical Jimmy Carter democrat, attack our allies and talk to our enemies.
Did he jump or was he pushed?

Clinton Inc ????
"I mean, in one week he went from saying he's going to sit down, you know, for tea, with our enemies, but then he's going to bomb our allies," said Romney. "I mean, he's gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week."
The Clintons are well positioned to profit from anything.
It is too soon to matter for the others. There is more than enough time for people to forget and this to have an effect on the actual November 2008 election.
Actually it’s the democrats that are clueless because none of these statements will hurt him with his base.
Oprahbama had never previously suited up against the varsity. He looked good in practice and coasted to victory against Allan Keyes (I probably would as well). However, when he put on the spikes against Caligula Rodham Clinton, he turned out to be nothing special.
Yeah, but Joe Biden says that Hussein Obama is clean and articulate.... that should count for something! Maybe he can be the new spokesman for the DNC when Howard Dean implodes again......say, where is Howard, he’s been awfully quiet for a long long time. Maybe we could have a Dean/Obama ticket to improve the credibility of the Demagogues on foreign policy.
A lot of Obama's attractiveness (in addition to the Magic Negro thing) has been the fact that he seems open to other people, he listens to them respectfully, he considers what they say, and he appears to try to reconcile opposing positions.
However, I think you are right - his reset button always goes back to "hate America first".
He is becoming less dangerous as he fumbles his way across the stage.
Is that the DC Mayor ?
Yes, it's Marion Barry smoking crack with a hooker in a hotel room.
Why do black people vote for idiots?
Obama could eat a baby on live television and still win an election in a black majority city.
