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.

Obama Tries on His Presidential Clothing
It is amateur night in the Democrat Party. As I have pointed out already, many on the left think the battle between Obama and Clinton shows strength. The two of them are neck and neck because they are such solid candidates… or so the left would have you believe.
As I have stated before, an even and hotly contested race does not mean

She Needs a Fork! Or Does She?
I say Hillary is done. So do most others paying attention, at this point
Hillary failed to show strong enough in Indiana, and Obama cleaned her clock in North Carolina. This puts her campaign now officially into “sputtering but indignantly fighting to still seat Florida and Michigan” mode.
The DNC is left now with the task of cleaning up their pathetic mess created by Howard Dean concerning their fumbling attempt to punish those two States. Were it not for Dean and Florida/Michigan, I am not sure Obama would have survived to this point. More on that below, and how the scars from Wright would have made a difference earlier.
The aftermath will be interesting to watch, because they have to unite a party now. How do they create a situation where Hillary can get out honorably? Can the loser lose graciously at this point?
I think not, and- wait a minute…
Obama and Wright - Ba-Rock, and a Hard Place
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Obama’s Achilles Heel Speaks Again
Let’s just be clear.
Every time Jeremiah Wright speaks, Obama loses something. Pundits right now will try to claim left and right that Obama has lost nothing due to Wright, but I will suggest, once again, that the “loss” of undecided voters NEVER shows up in polls accurately.
When you think to yourself that maybe, just maybe, this radical ‘religious guide’ of Obama’s has gotten the point that he needs to ‘go away’ in order for Obama to recover, Wright surfaces yet again.
His latest “surfacing” will be
Dueling Champs, or Dueling Fools?
In sports, a blowout is usually pretty boring, unless you have some kind of vendetta agenda. Good rivalries make good sports, as do well fought contests which hold surprises.
One of the most important aspects of any great sporting (or any) contest is a fairly equal match-up. Parity, in sports, often creates an interesting duel, and sometimes a battle which is founded solely on parity creates a great duel.
However, let’s make no mistake here: parity, on its own, does NOT necessarily indicate greatness of either party involved in the battle. But that is what the Democrat pundits would have you believe when they talk about their two bumbling candidates.
It seems that everywhere I turn, I keep hearing people on the left (mostly liberals) stating the mantra, over and over, that the reason that Obama and Clinton run so close together and are having such a tight race is because they are both such excellent candidates, running excellent campaigns.
This is mentally a riot for anyone with half or more of a brain.
First off, both of them are relatively inexperienced as elected politicians. A first term Senator, and a Wife of an Ex-Impeached President.
Secondly, the fact that these two are running neck and neck right now has a lot more to do with idiocy of the left, and mistakes by the candidates, than it does with “greatness” as evidenced by the parity.
And at the core of this problem is one issue: Character.
The amazing aspect of this analysis is that the left truly thinks that their “tight race” is an example of “excellence”. But, I think we all understand that two mediocre competitors can create a fairly good “game” just by being “equally matched”… i.e., parity. I would argue that the only “excellence” being exercised in the campaigns of Clinton and Obama is that they are excellent impostors.
Without character, we do not win wars. Without character, we do not set visions. Without character, we cannot lead. Without character, we cannot even find the truth. And when people who run for President have a hard time finding the truth, especially when it comes to sniper fire or 20 years of exposure to a man who used to be recognized as an very close adivsor, then we have a problem that needs some addressing, now.
Addressing this problem is the duty and responsibility of the left, the DNC, the Democrat party. But, as evidenced by their inability to reconcile their OWN party on Florida and Michigan delegates, delegates who were/are stripped due to their OWN party chair, this party cannot convince anyone that they deserve to run anything.
If you cannot run your own house, one which you are in control of, how the hell do you expect to run the only Free Nation that acts in an independent manner, in the face of the evils that face us today?
Democrats are insisting that their “contest” shows excellence. I contest that their “contest” is an example of the mediocre beating the average. It just depends on what day you take a poll as to what kind of result you get.
Even more amazing is that neither he press, nor any other pundit is bringing YOU this information:
McCain holds even with both Clinton and Obama, in a year where both Clinton and Obama should be winning handily. What the left leaning media is not telling you is-
Both Clinton and Obama supporters claim to be willing to defect to McCain by a whopping margin of 20-28% per candidate. So that “head to head” percentage that they tout as being “even” is really a damn blowout, right now, before a vote is even cast.
The real problem the left has is, as always, one of honesty. Honesty from their candidates, and honesty in their reporting.
Last I heard, Clinton is ducking sniper fire from Jeremiah Wright while Obama says he never knew Wright owned a gun.
People who have the qualities to be President do not act this way… do not not lie this way… do not stretch the truth this way… do not expect that Americans are stupid as fence posts.
It’s your decision, mister ‘undecided-moderate-person’… Do you want liars, or someone who love this Country enough to die for it tomorrow?

“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

“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,
Deciphering Obama’s White Lies
Straight and to the point:
Obama is a Harvard educated attorney. Attorneys are trained in the use of words, their meanings, and how to tell a story or point of view without compromising a position, so they can go back later and say “I never said that…”, or serve some other purpose. Attorneys rarely say ANYTHING that puts them in a corner.
No, in fact, their job is to put others in a corner.
Let’s be real clear here. What Obama has and has not said about Dr. Jeremiah Wright (I am demoting the man from “Reverend”, after seeing the vile hatred he preaches from the altar) is very, very revealing. And I feel Obama is intentionally being deceitful in order to PRESERVE votes.
And I am not talking about ‘black’ votes. Obama is now at risk of losing support of

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.
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.
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.
