The media have shilling for Obama for years. When he was first elected to the Senate in '04 it was either Time or Newsweek, referring to the whole redstate/bluestate meme, who put him on their cover with the headline: "Barack Obama Sees Purple".

They've been packaging him like an all-purpose cleanser -- the messiah of "hope" and "change" and an all-things-to-all-people "unity" candidate -- even though he is, in fact, one of the most leftist members of the senate who's never once demonstrated a willingness to "cross the aisle" to reach a compromise in the way that McCain and, to a lesser extent, Hillary have done.

As soon as he was elected he was asked if he would run for President in '08. He said "no" because he wanted to make sure he "knew what I was doing" and didn't have the experience yet to think about that. Well, apparantly he began to believe his own hype because 24 months later he announced that he was running for President.

He's been fawned over and promoted as a uniter almost as if he was a proverbial trojan horse for the liberal mainstream media. Worked really well when he was a blank slate. But, as we learn more and more about him and his fellow travelers, people are beginning to get the sense that they've been "fooled... hood-winked... bamboozled...".

Very well said.




We are at the point where some in the media are trying to portray Obama as divine.



(I wonder how much these boogers will Ebay for?)


I thought only dictators such as Mao, Kim Jong Il, and other communist goons got this media treatment.

I would just like to say that this thread and many others I have seen, on this site and others, is proof positive that the US and the world for that matter, are NOT ready for a black president. The anger it brings up, the stirrings of racisism and hate, all over a man who is just as white as he is black, he just chooses to identify his black heritage over his white heritage.

I am not racist, I disagree with those who are, but , I am worried about the US ability to accept him as president, you know, those that WON'T vote for him. They are many, the numbers are showing it is about half the united states. That includes all nationalities.

I don't have a problem with Obama's color. I do have a problem with his lack of abilty show he is behind our flag, our nation, our military, our veterans, he said he would show his patriotism in a different way, well to me that is just scary. What new way is he talking about? Raising your hand to your heart under the flag of the United States is an honor, a symbol of your allegience to this country, and to me his not doing says he is not allegiante to this country, so why does he want to run it? What is his motivation to be president? On a more phsycic level, I feel evil is all around him, his aura is dark, and he is being led by something or someone into his future.

edit= about the topic: I will believe there is a tape when one is produced.

Education does not equal common sense


Is this what you're telling yourself so that you feel better?

No, education does not always equal common sense, but that statement means absolutely nothing in this debate.

This way you are essentially saying that these educated people have no common sense, and that is obviously wrong. Not to mention, you're also implying that common sense says not to vote for Obama, although I can easily make the same argument for the other 2 candidates.


In the context of the post I was was answering, it makes absolute sense. Better educated people like O(bs)ama so ....

You know, on top of what I said earlier that comment also sounds very elitist. As in let us "better educated" folks show the rest of you cretins how to vote ...

Now O(bs)ama has already been called elitist based on his recent comments about why white people need guns, etc. So, can his supporters be all that different?

Zealot, what kind of pills did you say you are taking? I think I would slack up on 'em.

United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171
Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code


Richardson and Clinton placed their hands over their hearts, are you saying they were wrong to do so, that it wasn't 'proper'?

And, Obama even gave his own explaination for not doing it. He says he will show his patriotism in a 'new way'.



Ok, now where does that code exclude Obama from this? He was not in uniform. He also won't wear a flag pin. Why is it so damned important to him NOT to do these simple acts , symbolisms, of allegiance to the United States of America ?

Zealot
Why does everyone still not understand that he was not supposed to raise his hand at that time, he was doing the propper thing that was in conduct with the right ceromony.





They were standing to the Pledge of Allegiance. Stop and say those words slowly and with meaning and you will understand folks having a problem with what he didn't do. Pledge of ALLEGIANCE.
