Obama is not doing well under pressure. His numbers are sinking rather fast. The superdelegates will have to choose between Hillary and a loser of monumental proportions.

How about this comment to Anderson Cooper...

OBAMA: -- (stammering) the odds of me getting elected have always been, uh, lower than, uh -- than some of the other conventional candidates, and if I bring something to this conversation, it's going to be because I do what I did yesterday, which is hopefully open up a new conversation about a new direction of the country.

RUSH: I'm beginning to think that we might be looking at the first stages of the slice of bread in the toaster. Pfft! People are hitting the lever. He's not quite toast yet. But do you realize what he just said? He just lowered expectations here by about half the height of Mount Kilimanjaro. Let me translate this for you. He said, "I have been shocked into remembering I didn't stand a prayer anyway because I'm black. You know, my odds of getting elected have always been lower than some of the other conventional candidates, and if I bring something..." So he tried to get by with transcending race. He was forced into making this speech. Now he's the candidate of race. This is a sympathy play; this is a victim play. Obama is now asking us to look at him as a victim.

Democrats: Chaos, Chaos, Chaos!
Obama plays victim; Hillary flip-flops on Michigan.


PA Voters Fed Up with "Race Stuff"

He is a victim.

He is an unseasoned politician running for POTUS.

Show some compassion for crying out loud!

For the first time, I have noticed a nervous twitch in someone's ears.

Obamarama is a terrible interviewee. He always looks like his wittwe feewings are hurt by even softball questions. Or he looks petulant. Or, if he's on his game, contemptuous of the interviewers. None of this inspires confidence. I cannot bear looking at him or listening to him-- it's like watching some horrible American Idol wannabe who does NOT get to Hollywood. Makes me cringe inside.

He does deliver an inspirational speech well, however, and could be a real asset to his (chosen) race and to this country if he'd get out there with Bill Cosby and do some straight talking. He could even be a black Tony Robbins, megamultimillionaire who had huge crowds jumping up and down shouting positive slogans in unison. Many people find that energizing, motivating, and exciting. Does a lot of good for people like salesmen who get rejected every day. Really, it would probably be a great technique to get blacks who feel rejected back in the game again.

But should he make it to the White House, every Grievance Collector of color will be front and center, demanding special treatment, complaining bitterly if they feel slighted. They always feel slighted, so you see what the tone of the country would be for four years. Not pretty.

Hillary would be less horrible. She has a certain level of spunk and positive energy that might not drag the entire country into deep collective depression in the first 20 minutes of her term. How's that for faint praise?
