The Emperor and his Flip Flops
First term junior Senator Barack Obama seems to be fitting in quite nicely with the Washington crowd he so disdains, despite his claims to be different. Lapel flagpins, public financing, and now his stance on the Iraq War are all up susceptible to be “refined” as he sees fit, depending on what constituency hurdle he has either cleared, or needs to clear next.
In the last days, Obama went from proudly being the Senator who voted against the war and had promised to begin to end it starting his first day of office, to the Senator who said he would end it by 2009, to the Senator who then said within 16 months, to now… where he has firmly landed on the solid position of going to Iraq for the first time, and then, listening to the opinions of the commanders on the ground so we do not hastily leave a vacuum.
Mind you, he is STILL committed to “ending the war”. Last I checked, every candidate wants to end the war. The question always has been how, under what terms, and what risk to the future of this country and Iraq/the middle east.
So now Obama is going to go get edu-macated on the ground over there, and get some perspective that apparently seems to have been lacking when he harped to the left that he would just jump the hell out of Iraq right off when elected. The far left loved that, but now Obama knows he can’t win with either that stance, or simply the far left.
The recent successes in Iraq are the Achilles heel of such a far left stance.
I had thought all this time Obama was a man of principle, or at least played one on TV. Of course I jest, and have known better all along. But how the left can consider this man to be what he has claimd all along is beyond me, as he changes positions more than a baby in the womb.
The general election is a perfect machine for making immortal hype-based unproven inexperienced grassroots superheroes into mere mortal politicians grasping for ways to appeal to the necessary voters.
And Obama is not only on his way, he has finally arrived…

“Let’s Talk Issues… Except that one…”
Well, here it comes… the “Let’s talk issues” deflection.
With all of the heat that Clinton and Obama are taking for basically lying, the Dems on the left are beginning to chant the mantra “Why don’t we talk about issues? Let’s talk about healthcare, the war, the economy, blah blah blah…”
Newsflash for all of you liberals… to adults with morals and principles (i.e., conservatives, most moderates, and some democrats), character IS an issue- perhaps the most important one of all, as it is an indicator as to how you will lead, and what you are willing (or not willing) to do in the face of adversity.
So when we hear conservatives bring up over and over the most recent lies of

Obama’s Gamble
Attempting to clean up the aftermath of Jeremy Wright…
Barack Obama is going to be appearing at a television screen near you. Mr. “avoid the news media” is scheduled to be on a variety of shows in the coming days, presumably in an attempt to clean up the image damage left in the wake of what I will call “Jeremy Wright’s racism perpetuation campaign”. Oh, yeah… I should say “talk shows”, not hard news shows… Those people ask hard questions.
It seems as though Obama has a few new problems as well. One is this new revelation of a super delegate who supports Obama, who sounds as racist in his rants as Wright did; and another is the comment he made about his grandmother today.
The real problem for Obama is that he has nothing to “turn the page” to. The news cycle is not providing adequate cover for him (meaning, there are no powerful political issues for him to latch onto), so he is

“Brown” is Down Due to Lack of a Frown
Surely that headline will get me labeled as a racist. Go figure.
Jeremiah Wright can suggest that whites don’t know crap and that we do our best to hold down blacks, but if I just suggest that the stock of black people who support Obama is down (”Brown is Down Due to Lack of a Frown”) due to his inability to make a strong argument against Wright’s statements, I will be perceived as racist.
Here is what it the title of this section of the article means, in case anyone wants to get pissy and call me a racist:
“Brown” = the political clout of Obama
“Down” = You figure it out
“Lack of a Frown” = NOT distancing self from Rev. Wright more emphatically and completely.
This Country is wrapped in a battle, one in which

“The Audacity of Rationalizing”
Obama’s Mistakes
In a speech given today in Philadelphia, Barack Obama finally proved he is fallible. While many other pundits and sites will be talking about some other more obvious problems with Obama’s forlorn attempt at being as powerful with a speech as Lincoln, or MLK, I am going to target some of the more difficult to spot concerns.
1. Conditional Hypocritical Patriotism
Who is this man?
Is this possibly the man who does not like to put his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance? Is this the man who will not wear a lapel Flag Pin? Is this the man who feels it is to jingoistic and disingenuous to act patriotic in a celebratory manner?
Well then, what the hell is he doing surrounded by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8… yes EIGHT… US flags during his speech on which his political career will pivot?
2. Rationalization of Behavior
This excerpt from the speech really set me off:
“Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors,

Obama Intends to Enlighten Us
Barack Obama has made it clear that he intends to give a speech on Wednesday, in which he will probably try his damndest to distance himself from Pastor Wright. Expect to hear the word “former” a lot in this speech.
Obama won’t answer questions about the Pastor at this point. Even after his speech, he does not intend to answer questions. I don’t find this transparent; I don’t find this mature or manly; and I don’t find this avoidance of taking questions to be very courageous. Obama knows that answering questions keeps it alive, and he just wants to kill this as soon as possible. But avoiding answering questions will hurt him, this time.
Obama said “I think

Twenty Years. That is how long Barack Obama has known this man. That is how long Obama has called this man his spiritual adviser, and pastor. Yet Obama would have you believe that he is, just now, as he is running for President, becoming aware of
And Along Came the White Knight Nader
As predicted (on this blog) the first of two spoilers is now in the race. Ralph Nader has tossed his pinhead shaped hat into the ring, thus potentially hurting the Democrats, and helping McCain. There is no question that Nader pulls more voters from the ranks of liberals, and this has to be very very bad news for the “Yes We Can” hope brigade of Barack Obama.
Don’t get me wrong, I do respect Nader, for some of his work, and some of his ideological strength. But, you have to admit, as a Presidential candidate, the man is nothing more than
Changing Rules in Midstream, Again…
Anyone who knows the left leaning Democrat Party should not be surprised to hear the following- they are tossing about the idea of changing the rules of a system in midstream, again. And, in order to prove that they are not just mean spirited children in adult bodies, this time they are even willing to do it to just themselves! So, I guess the next time they try this kind of crap in Congress, the Republicans should not take it so personal.
A top adviser to Billary’s campaign, Harold Ickes, now wants
And Doggone it, People Like me…
It is hard to believe our society can produce people who would honestly find that someone like Al Franken should ever be considered a serious political candidate. But considering he is attempting to run for Senator (Federal level) in the same State that elected Jesse Ventura Governor, the next words should be “Go Figure…” (Ed: The harsh winter cold numbs the mind, and the dancing Northern Lights hypnotize…)
The only State I can think of that might have a more illustrious and colorful political history of misfits

Current NUT
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT. -
Current BOLT
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.

The most stupidest dumbest ignorantest thang I have heard from the left lately...
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
God himself supports America going into Iraq... Worldwide discovery and publication has just hit hard.. see www.eternaltruth.net
I dare you ...
You are a hypocrite. You state, "It should not be amazing that only former Presidents who are Democrats act ...
