Let's just introduce an admonition into the general wisdom that states that any 1st term Senator that decides he is important enough to now run for President is someone that we should be very wary of.
John Edwards, Barack Obama, or anyone who barely elected to one office suddenly starts running for the next ... beware ... their ego, their own sense of self importance and entitlement makes them dangerous and not trustworthy.
How hard is it to know that?
“People get fooled, I suppose. Even people that you would think are paying attention.”
Obama had the most liberal voting record in 2007 in the US Senate. He had a communist mentor. The elites poo-poo’d his Ayer relationship, and the fact that he had neo-communist support in earlier campaigns.
THERE WAS NOTHING MODERATE IN OBAMA’S ENTIRE POLITICAL LIFE, OR HIS LIFE IN GENERAL. His Mom was a leftist and his Dad a socialist.
The level of stupidity / misdirection in pundits who called this wrong is an act of negligent malfeasance.
