Obama Becomes a Man, pt. II

“I won’t be a perfect President, but I can promise you this… I’ll always tell you what I think. I’ll always tell you where I stand. I’ll be honest with you about the challenges we face as a nation.”

Barack Obama

Now, keep in mind that after weeks of intense pressure, Obama just now left his church, Trinity United. I could spend about 10 minutes of your time making you read all the crap that Obama’s church pastors (several pastors, now) have spewed, but I won’t. Anyone who is paying attention has heard the vile political rants that erupt from those pulpits.

And remember, it took him 20 years to leave this church. But you will always know what he thinks and where he stands… Ya sure, you betcha.

What I would rather tell you is this- and keep in mind the quote up top from Obama.

Obama has no cajones, and is a fake. He is not a man, but he plays one on TV. “I will always tell you what I think” and “I will always tell you where I stand” could and should be followed up with “after I have enjoyed 20 years of political advantage of being associated with a racist church” or “after being pressed by the press and the public to the point that I can no longer ignore the point as it is damaging to my political goals…”

Also keep in mind that Obama said he could no more disown Wright or the Church than he could the black community. He just kicked Wright and the Church to the curb… because he knows now, after weeks of seeing his support NOT wane in the BLACK community, while at the same time seeing that his support among blue collar whites has tanked, that he has the black vote in his back pocket like the deeds to slaves. He has nothing to worry about.

So now it is time to try to prove to the white voter, or the gun clinging voter, or the bible clinging voter, or the blue collar voter, that he is a man.

As for the last comment in his quote, the biggest challenge this nation faces right now is Barrack Hussein Obama.

No sir, you won’t be a perfect President. But the best solution for that is for you to never BE President.

This is truly one amazing political season.

Watching the Democrat Party, which prides itself in inclusion and ‘big tents’, we notice it is as divided as you can get. You have a woman whining about being a woman and getting hard questions or first questions, and you have blacks fighting with blacks about what being black means, and what blacks should think about America. You have Dems saying that Obama would not be where he was were he not black. And you have the party who considers themselves the party of voter inclusion excluding their own people in Michigan and Florida due to “party rules”.

I thought they were the party of “every vote should count”, and cries of “dis-enfranchisement” run rampant when they are losing elections- but not when they are trying to punish their own. The irony is, they are punishing themselves, mostly.

As I have said, why would we let them run the country if they can’t run their own party, which they control already?

Right now what we are watching is the destruction of a sure fire nomination of one black, by another black. This is amazing to me because race is supposed to be one of the perfected political commodities the left has. They understand… they include… they don’t attack race or gender, OR religion.

However, Wright is the biggest scar Obama has, and due to his complete “unknown quantity” rock star status, people are slowly over time paying more and more attention to the stupidity of his “friends”.

So here are some important thoughts to ponder:

1. Wright says his comments were taken out of context. First off, not only is this excuse more used by black leaders than the word “axe” for “ask”, but it is also not supported by Obama’s response. Obama (recently, and finally) repudiated the COMMENTS of Wright, actually quite strongly. Why would Obama repudiate such comments if they were so abused and taken out of context by the media? See #2.
2. Obama is accused by Wright of making his comments because that is what “politicians” do, and Wright does what he does because that is what “pastors” do. The only problem with this comment is, I think Wright is acting more like the politician here, and Obama is just trying to do damage control for an idiot “friend”, which is what a pastor might do.
3. Wright spent much of his time in the latest media abominations talking about how he accepts the differences of others, all the while mocking people who have been pointing out his unacceptable comments. These attacks and mocking statements came complete with head rolls and eye rolls that you would expect from a teenage, not a fully grown American Pastor. This is truly and example of the “child in the adult body” I talk about when I talk about liberals.
4. Obama, while trying to distance himself from Wright’s comments by stating he found them terrible, did NOT counter those points by stating what he though the TRUTH was. For example, the comparison by Wright that the US military efforts are terroristic or similar to terrorist acts could be repudiated AND countered by Obama by him stating what he thinks the US military did WELL in the past, and how America has set standards that NO other Country can rise to. Obama has NEVER given a speech on what he thinks America has done great. Think about it.
5. On the far left, and in Black America, nothing much Wright did will change a lot of votes. Some, yes, but not enough to matter. If you are one of those lefties or blacks, sorry. Welcome to the real world, where in some cases, none of us matter. To those on the left who love Obama, he could be exposed with strong evidence to be a pedophile heroin user, and they would think it a conspiracy and not change their minds. And when 90+% of a race votes for a candidate of the same race, one has to wonder why so few talk about “reverse” racism.
6. Wright says this is not about him, but about the Black church. This was an attempt to make this racial, BY a racist. This is also why Obama can’t leave his church- he is in a box and has to protect his church now. And, to be honest, another reason he can’t leave his church is because he would lose up to 20% or more of the black vote nationwide, which he cannot afford. But Wright wanted this to be an attack on the “Black Church”, whatever that is. No, no sir. This was about YOU and YOUR comments, and in the process, the crazy nature of your church also became interesting and a little disturbing to many, many Americans.
7. Many pundits and lefty talking point idiots are stating that Obama is being “consistent” because he has denounced Wright. This is far from true. Obama first stood by the man for 20 years; then he uninvited him from speaking at his Election launch; then after his comments became more of a nuisance, he gave a tepid denunciation in the press and a fairly weak speech. Now, that the damaged ship is taking on more water, Obama has decided to bail harder and with a bigger bucket, by giving an even stronger denunciation. This is NOT consistency. This is, as Wright said, Obama doing what “politicians” do… saying what “politicians” say.

If Wright keeps opening his mouth, he could lose this for Obama, unless Obama denounces him completely, and not just what he said. Leaving the Church would help his image too, but it would kill him in the black community/constituency. What he gained in credibility he would more than lose in black votes.

Ba-Rock, and hard place.

You have heard that a long drawn out battle with Hillary Clinton is to John McCain’s advantage. This may be true, but I am going to show you the downside as well.

The pro’s

We all know the general advantages for the GOP of a protracted Democrat primary season. Briefly, here are most of them:

1. Both Obama and Hillary spend more money on each other.
2. Their efforts to win will damage them both, revealing weaknesses the GOP can use later.
3. It divides the Democrat party further, and will leave lasting scars and even defectors who won’t vote for the “other” if “their” candidate does not win.
4. It is damn entertaining to watch these crazy clueless folks scramble around trying to look important and qualified. The name calling within the party is an extra perk as well.

But few people have mentioned or discussed what the downside is for this process to go on well into the summer, perhaps even all the way to Denver in August.

The Con

Cover for Obama’s positions…

Currently, McCain has the luxury of staying mostly out of the fray, avoiding that which drags one down into the gutter… i.e., day to day politics. Obama and Clinton are doing that work on each other, and Howard Dean jumps in from time to time just to remind us how lucky we are that he never became President. During this time, McCain has time to regroup, gather some advisors and formulate good positions and plans for the ‘General’, and time to generally look “Presidential” by making statesman like trips and speeches around the Country.

Oh- and make money.

But while all of this is happening, a very quiet and somewhat dastardly advantage for Obama is playing out beneath our radar.

Due to the nature of the situation, Clinton and Obama need to obviously focus on each other right now. However, don’t think for a moment that this will bring out ALL of the necessary information that the public needs to focus on in order to make a solid decision in November.

Put another way, Obama is a mysterious and relatively unknown factor in politics. He is of course a first termer. He avoids the media like the plague, excepting softball shows like The View and other tabloid garbage that endears candidates to idiots but protects them from the serious scrutiny which can cause real political damage.

This long and drawn out primary is giving Obama “cover”. He is not being attacked by the right yet as that would show presumption as to who the nominee will be. Of course we know he will probably win, but at this time, McCain is taking the high road and letting the process continue on the left unchallenged for the most part.

By letting this process go until August, Obama and the Democrats may, then, be stumbling into an advantage that they have not perceived yet. Or, better put, those in the political world may be aware of this advantage, but the majority of the voting public are not.

Obama winning in a close contest at the Convention will be big news, and will draw huge media attention. But even more important to him is the fact that a shortened General is to his advantage. It gives the GOP less time to tear him down on inexperience, and expose his far far left leanings. Two months is not enough time to paint this man into a liberal box, not when you are having to contest the din of the wave of hype from the first black man ever to be nominated, in a close nail-biter that was just decided in August.

This wave of hype and short General just might make it impossible to make a common sense case against Obama, because much of America will be high on the concept that “A black man made it, we are vindicated for our prior sins now!!!”

Howard Dean, our friend…

With all of that said, Howard Dean just might be the GOP’s best ally right now. As screwed up and emotional as this man is, he might be right (for us anyway) to suggest this contest between Clinton and Obama should end sooner than later. He has suggested June, or July latest, in order to help his party. But I think it helps us more than it helps the Dems.

I am sure all of you conservatives will be thanking Howard Dean if he gets his way. Keep him and his wish in your prayers!

“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 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
