Tapper Calls it Race-Baiting, Chiat thinks Obama should go negative, Alternative Iraqi read of Obama, money promises and that manger in Bethlehem
By LisaB on July 31, 2008 at 6:42 PM in ABC News, Barack Obama, Current Affairs
1) Is the MSM finally reporting on race-baiting? Jake Tapper, at Political Punch, is doing just that. During recent campaign stops, Obama trotted out the old race-bait bit about having a “funny name” and that no other presidents “look like me.”
Jake Tapper calls him on it - but good. Quoting Obama during stops in Rolla, Springfield and Union Missouri, Tapper shows how Obama continues to flog the idea that he is a victim of racist attacks by McCain.
Then in Union, Mo., this evening, Obama seemed to specifically accuse McCain and the GOP of peddling racism and xenophobia.
Read the rest ->
Jake is right. By the way, just count how many times Obama talks about John McCain during any interview. He nearly always answers a tough question he otherwise cannot answer by first starting with John McCain.
Tapper ends with:
I’ve seen racism in campaigns before — I’ve seen it against Obama in this campaign. . . and I’ve seen it against McCain in South Carolina in 2000, when his adopted Bangladeshi daughter Bridget was alleged, by the charming friends and allies of then-Gov. George W. Bush, to have been a McCain love-child with an African-American woman.
What I have not seen is it come from McCain or his campaign in such a way to merit the language Obama used today. Pretty inflammatory.
Definitely worth the read. Keep your eye on this guy.
2) Strangely enough, the LATimes seems to think Obama’s not being negative enough. Jonathan Chait’s op-ed piece today says Obama needs to stop being a nice guy and go negative. He says Obama’s “weak-tea” responses are similar to John Kerry’s in 2004.
To go on the attack, Obama doesn’t need to engage in character assassination and baseless charges, as his opponent has done. All he needs to do is stop letting McCain paint a wildly distorted self-portrait.
Apparently, Chiat’s view of Obama’s race-baiting remarks covered by Jake Tapper is entirely benign. I doubt Chiat has seen many campaign stops.
Obama’s strategy seems predicated on convincing voters that they really, really like the inexperienced black guy with the foreign-sounding name.
For an op-ed guy, I think Chiat is remarkably unsophisticated about what is going on when Obama talks about his “funny sounding name.”
3) In the NYPost today is a column by Amir Taheri on the recent Obama world tour. Taheri wasn’t impressed. Even so, this is a stunner.
“He looked like a man in a hurry,” a source close to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said last week. “He was not interested in what we had to say.”
Still, many Iraqis liked Obama’s claim that the improved situation in Iraq owed to Iraqi efforts rather than the Gen. David Petraeus-led surge. In public and private comments, Obama tried to give the impression that the Iraqis would’ve achieved the same results even without the greater resources America has poured into the country since 2007.
After Taheri asserts that Iraqi officials privately say the surge was both necessary and helpful comes this:
Iraqis were most surprised by Obama’s apparent readiness to throw away all the gains made in Iraq simply to prove that he’d been right in opposing the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. “He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States,” a senior Iraqi official told me. “As far as he is concerned, this is Bush’s war and must end in lack of success, if not actual defeat.”
Wow. I don’t know who Taheri’s sources are, but I’ve not seen anything like this before. Interesting. Will it go anywhere?
4) Realclearpolitics has Obama’s recent remarks on the economy. During this speech, along with promising a “chicken in every pot” Obama outlined some of the money people will see if he’s elected.
That starts with giving immediate relief to families who are one illness or foreclosure or pink slip away from disaster. To help folks who are having trouble filling up their gas tank, I’ll provide an energy rebate. To help hardworking Americans meet rising costs, I’ll put a $1,000 tax cut in the pockets of 95% of workers and their families, including 3 million folks here in Missouri. To help end this housing crisis, I’ll provide relief to struggling homeowners. And to protect retirement security, I’ll eliminate taxes for seniors making under $50,000 a year.
If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, that’s a debate I’m happy to have. Because while we’re both proposing tax cuts, the difference is who we’re cutting taxes for. Senator McCain would cut taxes for those making over $3 million. I’ll cut taxes for middle class families by three times as much as my opponent. Let me be clear: if you’re a family making less than $250,000, my plan will not raise your taxes - not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes. And unlike my opponent, I’ll pay for my plan - by cutting wasteful spending, shutting corporate loopholes and tax havens, and rolling back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
He also talks, briefly, about education.
We can choose to stay mired in the same education debate that’s consumed Washington for decades, or we can provide every child with a world-class education so they have the skills to compete and succeed in our global economy. We can invest in early childhood education, recruit an army of qualified teachers with better pay and more support, and finally make college affordable by offering an annual $4,000 tax credit in exchange for community or national service.
Keep an eye on education. Obama has long ties with Bill Ayers, once a domestic terrorist and now an education professor in Il.
5) Also at LAT is a blog trying to figure out why Obama’s freight train is looking a little like the engine that couldn’t.
It looks like political strategists are puzzled about why Obama’s lead isn’t bigger. He’s got the looks, the money, the rhetoric, etc. The author doesn’t have any answers either, but he finishes with this:
Americans bought George W. Bush’s message of changing Washington in 2000. But he was a governor coming from Austin. Americans like governors as chief executives; four of the last five presidents were governors first.
Voters have proven more suspicious of legislators. This year they have no more choice; it’ll be only the third time in American history a sitting (or standing) senator has been elected to the White House.
Obama’s talking change too. But he’s a legislator who’s been in Washington three years now, two of them as a member of a Democratic-controlled Congress that was elected in 2006 with great promise but currently holds historically low favorability ratings.
What’s Obama done for D.C. change since arriving? What’s Obama done for reform back home within the historically monolithic and corrupt Chicago Democratic machine, where some up-and-comers are sent off to Congress for seasoning before advancing to the big-time of City Council?
The longer the Obama campaign goes without pulling comfortably ahead of the former fighter pilot who was trained to stay on his opponent’s tail, the more worrisome it’ll become for chief strategist David Axelrod . . . and others behind the closed doors in their Windy City headquarters.
While many of these people are trying to look for complex answers, could it simply be that for all his gifts, Obama just doesn’t offer near enough experience? Nah, that couldn’t be it.
6) Today at Politico is an article saying the recent McCain ad tying Obama in with celebrity culture is gaining traction.
It wasn’t until the last week, however, that the narrative of Obama as a president-in-waiting — and perhaps getting impatient in that waiting — began reverberating beyond the inboxes of Washington operatives and journalists.
Perhaps one of the clearest indications emerged Tuesday from the world of late-night comedy, when David Letterman offered his “Top Ten Signs Barack Obama is Overconfident.” The examples included Obama proposing to change the name of Oklahoma to “Oklobama” and measuring his head for Mount Rushmore.
“When Letterman is doing ‘Top Ten’ lists about something, it has officially entered the public consciousness,” said Dan Schnur, a political analyst from the University of Southern California and the communications director in John McCain’s 2000 campaign. “And it usually stays there for a long, long time.”
Jon Stewart teased that the presumptive Democratic nominee traveled to Israel to visit his birthplace at Bethlehem’s Manger Square.
Heh. Missed that. Darn. It’s at Truveo. Take a look - and take a look at all the “Obama Quest” bits. It will make you smile.
Anyway, in response to an apparent question about arrogance, Obama had this to say:
“I was puzzled by this notion that somehow what we were doing was in any way different from what Sen. McCain or a lot of presidential candidates have done in the past,” Obama said Sunday, speaking about his trip at a conference of minority journalists. “Now, I admit we did it really well. But that shouldn’t be a strike against me.”
“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” The new Obama slogan. But WTH? “PUZZLED?” Puzzled? A guy who has said he plays lots of b-ball and probably talks a little smack like any competitive hoopster, is PUZZLED about what might constitute cockiness? Seriously? Well, bless his heart. Maybe language IS that difficult for him without the teleprompter.
And, as always, the HuffyPot rushes in to race-bait:
Bloggers at the Huffington Post launched a backlash to the backlash against Obama’s overseas trip, arguing in part that he wouldn’t face such criticism of acting premature if he were white.
You know, perhaps we’ve all been a little too believing of the Obama rhetorical brilliance bit. He does have trouble talking without a script and he is quite often “puzzled” by what other people say.
Maybe his listening and language skills need some work.
Anywhere barack obama is–is the low road. I do not have a “phobia” of any kind about barack Obama. I simply cannot stand him.
But I am THRILLED about him using the Race Card. I LOVE when that race card is used. At this point, America is so sick of hearing it, it makes them groan. They will remember in November and RACE to the polls.
That is right. Let America hear him cry wolf (race) more often and see how tolerant the voters are in November.
I have not problem with him crying. He is the BIGGEST CRYBABY on the planet at this time.
I am SO excited BIG MAC called him on it today, and wouldnt back off it when the MSM tested the waters to see if they could abck him down. LOL, he said it is true and he was disappointed Obummer did that, but clearly thats is what he was doing. LOVES IT!!
WooT!!!
as we said from the beginning, maybe the DEMS can force SILENCE when the race card is played,
repeatedly, with no rhyme or reason, (other than it consistently appearing whenever Hillary kicked his skinny axx)
but they cant silence the GOP by trying to guilt trip them or psych them out
and now it is the Candidate who cried wolf, AND he looks like a whiner with this complaining about the celebrity ad
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL BABY
karma boomerang comin atcha, look sharp Obummer!

I attended an event for IL Hillary supporters to wrap up things and just see each other. About 150 attended and I would say about 25% AA. We are submitting a new word for your consideration, “punkassism.” Which means a punk ass that has no qualification, experience or common sense to run this country. Let him play the Punk Card, he’s better able to identify with being a punk than a black man.
Love it!
Great word!!! Did Obama really say “OTHER President?” You have to be a President already to say “other”. Punkass alright!
I called him a punkass months ago. I’m glad people are finally catching up.
Punkassism! Yes! That’s it.
All of you PUMA “Republicans and R*cists” please join us over at http://www.riverdaughter.wordpress.com for a great Cocktail Party on the last night of July to help pay off “our debt” in the Hillary Campaign!
President Hillary Rodham Clinton 2008
Absolutely love the article. Maybe Americans are wising up to the fact that this man is more than an empty suit. It’s the “more than” that has us scared. I could put the empty suit in the laundry and it would come out clean. I can’t say the same about Obama.
Jake Tapper has provided a good, even-keeled perspective on this campaign. He first caught my attention as a reporter who’s not on his knees in worship of Obama when he (Jake) was bothered, in a normal human way, by the Obama camp insisting that O hadn’t fallen off the wagon — vis a vis smoking. Tapper knows tobacco breath when he smells it and wondered why the campaign had to lie about this.
Unfortunately there are few Jake Tappers reporting.
I agree. Jake is very fair, and calls out both sides honestly. I trust his reporting….he is one of the few in the big MSM venues who can be trusted to actually report “fair and balanced.”
Jake has improved, I was not always pleased with his primary coverage and called him out at times.
He definitely improved toward the end of the primary. Too late though…
Now he has seemed to be inoculated from the virus that appears to affect all reasoning and forethought.
Better late than never. Atleast he finally got with the program. Journalism is about investigation, something that is no longer practiced at MSNBC.
I was no fan of Jake Tapper till just now. This has given him a smidge of credibility, at least as a political writer who understands the implication of his words on a campaign. He seems less reactionary and giddy than most of his contemporaries.
I think he has the insight to see a new media market and he is IN…journalism.
He’s starting to look like the last of the Mohicans to me.
I love Peter Fitzgerald. I miss Walter Cronkite.
And, Art Linkletter, too.
McCain for President of the United States* of America. Bill and Hillary are just not moving me. I’m no longer a Democrat, I guess.
BTW, the dopes on the tube are still talking about Ludacris. No wonder. Heavy duty serious dialogue. I hear Rome is on HBO Demand.
G’night.
*50 to-date
Help! SOS! Somebody read this and get back to me. We might have a person with the access and the gumption* to ask.
Please ask Jake Tapper if he can get the Obama’s (a presidential candidate OR whatever he is trying to pull off) serial number on the published COLB (fight the smears, tread lightly or don’t go there). He has proulgated it for some reason. Why?
Official Fight the Smears smear about some Hawaiian Cert Of Live Birth thingy. You PUMAs do remember the reason for forgoing Public Funding was to take care of some devious plot. Can’t take taht bread, man, I gonna need to fight the smears.
Hmmm. Interesting. This is a real life, real time, Thriller. Ian Fleming ya wouldn’t believe it!
*testicular fortitude.
Jake Tapper doesn’t look like anyone on our American currency either. Hmmm. Whats up with that?
“… Now, I admit we did it really well. But that shouldn’t be a strike against me.”
Barry Obama
“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. ”
Winston Churchill
LOL! Obama seems a bit confused about the difference between confidence and egotism/arrogance. (One adjective can’t cut it in his case).
I agree…
He’s totally out of touch, humorless and thin-skinned. Add that to the inexperience and Obama is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
God help us if this fraud is elected. Another term of a “wanna-be,” who can’t get out of his own way.
Save us all from would-be Messiahs. John McCain is looking like King Arthur! Go figure.
PUMApac.prg
If he were so concerned about his “funny name” he just should’ve released his REAL birth certificate. Barry Sotero (sp?) is certainly less “funny.” — oh wait…then he’d have that other problem.
Since I worked for a railroad, I don’t like trainwrecks.
The dnc have to switch him into a siding and tie him down to keep him from going anywhere.
I would say that he and his crew are dead on the law but obama supporters would say I am threatening him. That phrase means they ran out of time to work.

Nice night for quotations:
I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago… I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.
Rudyard Kipling
I can attest to that, having lived there for 2 years, among many others.
The sad thing is that under Clinton, Chicago was a great tourist city. Now, it’s ruined.
I am glad to see Jake Tapper report on Obama playing the race card. About time some one tells it like it is.
Below is another great article about Obama and the race card.
http://www.thecjpoliticalreport.com/tiptoeing_through_the_rose_garden.htm
Obama is nothing more than a great pretender. He is all about show. He is not Presidential at all. For the life of me I cannot fogure out how so many cannot see this.
Who a flurry of new tax cuts, his poll numbers are telling him he has to connect with kitchen-table minded voters. Look at what he said about Reparations to the journalists of color conf:
And here is is on Reparations in a course syllabus:
Notice he doesn’t ask students to argue the merits of Reparations. He asks “Do such proposals have any realistic chance of working their way through the political system? Would there be any legal impediments to such a broadly-concieved reparations policy?”
I do believe reparations have already been made to these people whom no living American ever put into slavery. It’s the fundies all over again. We’ve been persecuted so just give us all your money and all property and you’ll still get hurt.
They have Community Reinvestment funds. It’s called street gangs.
Reparations is a huge can of worms… Think about it…
We need to move from here forward. Living in the past and staying angry about something no one on this Earth can change is so counter-productive.
Bad things happen to many people in life. Some of us decide to move forward by forgiving the people and/or circumstances of our misfortune, which allows us to live happy, productive lives. Others decide to use the misfortune events in our life as an excuse to perpetuate their own misery.
I always believed this: You decide… What path you choose when you are dealt the cards is up to you…
We are all only human beings. We had no choice in the matter. No one does.
Everyone is thrust ito their path. I think it is disgusting to segregate pain and cry mine is worse than yours is.
Walk in my moccasins and you will journey through enslavement. But, no more. No resentment, either, None.
Barak Obama fosters and uses to the nth degree a People’s pain without ever having been in their shoes.
I hate him for that most of all. As well as his Co-suckers. leech-like, I mean.
It is terri-ble ~ as in terror-ism.
That second one is RICH….I seem to recall that WJC had that initiative while in office….and again In Harlem…Calling it Reparations is silly. Would neighborhoods that are predominantly Latino or Asian qualify ? If not then large swaths of the SouthWest to Western states….maybe 1/3 of the RealEstate doesn’t count ?……I’m a little puzzled Barry….
Funny. His “self-portrait” was painted by himself, playing by old rules he failed to account for Internet, people’s dissection. The MSM has protected them. The MSM, as shown here, is so out of touch they think John McCain has been the mover on the issue. No, it is us, MSM.
Did you notice how distracted he is?
He’s abandoned the issues and now it’s all about him and his “funniness”. He’s floating. He’s frantic. “and THEY”RE gonna…” oh shut up! heard that! been there! deja vu! (that’s French)ooolala!
Yo ‘Folks’,
He MUST come through - but what if he doesn’t?
Issues under the Bus!!! It’s all about poor, pitiful me, Thee Prepresident. Listen to him, as hard as it is. He’s in need of a CHANGE and I HOPE WE find out someday very soon what the serial number is on his published COLB is.
“you know they don’t got no new ideas..you know they’re gonna say I’m…”
PLEASE post the video. Need it before the Weekend. Hahahhah! smear? - another old word with a new definition.
Jackpot!
One More Quote:
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
Patrick Henry
“If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, that’s a debate I’m happy to have”
McCain has asked you to do several debates and it is YOU who keeps refusing, Mr. Martyr.
That’s right. Obama has refused every chance to debate McCain. Hell, Obamanation also ducked the final debates with Hillary.
It’s tough to debate having to use a teleprompter.
I was screaming at the tv when I heard that one!
What an ass!
I hope McCain comes back with that clip and tells barfy, you say when and where and I’m there little man!
Great comprehensive post LisaB.
Oblowme - the anti-American terrorist sympathizer - needs to grab The Beard from her cage, so that John McCain will stop picking on him.
Wah! Wah! MIZZOU RAH HATES CRYBABIES!
Here is the latest from the Obama website, nothing like trying to generate hostility. He needs to be careful words that incite others (his quote see below-And they’re not just attacking me. They’re attacking you.) can lead to criminal behavior, and he would be held responsible. Yelling “racist” in a crowded theater so to speak.
A few hours ago John McCain, the same man who just months ago promised to run a “respectful campaign,” said he is “proud” of his latest attack ad.
That’s the one attacking your enthusiasm, comparing me to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, and making false claims about my energy plan.
Now, we’re facing some serious challenges in this country — our economy is struggling, energy costs are skyrocketing, and families don’t have health care.
Given the seriousness of these issues, you’d think we’d be having a serious debate. But instead, John McCain is running an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day brings a desperate new set of attacks.
They’re mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process.
They’re trying to convince you that your enthusiasm won’t amount to anything — that the people you persuade, the phone calls you make, the donations you give, the doors you knock on are all an illusion. They believe that in this election the same old smears and negative attacks will prevail again.
They’re wrong.
And right now, we have a few hours left to prove them wrong in a very concrete way.
Can you make a donation right now before the July fundraising deadline at midnight tonight?
Show the strength of our movement for change.
Thank you,
Barack
I thought the same thing, Katmoon. His words could inspire crazy people. “They’re attacking you. You must prove them wrong”. Sounds like directions from a cult leader to his followers.
Someone said it before…look no further than Charles Manson. I thought that was too much.
That little peep squeak had only a handful of followers and he used similar words to provide ammunition for their destruction and mayhem.
I see the destruction of the DNC thanks to O and his race baiting. Yes, he is a punkass!
Obama’s God complex is complete.
I can not believe that people actually buy into his self aggrandizement.
For those that have felt downtrodden all their lives, any word stated on their behalf is better than believing to be nonexistent. That is how this man has got his freak on with so many who will never question him. He offers a mirage. It is unfortunate that those that follow cannot understand the mirage.
Isn’t that how Jim Jones got his followers to Guana and then to drink the kool-aid? By telling people they are disenfranchised so they would want to fall in line or take up residency in the cult?
Obama is one sick puppy. He needs a straightjacket.
Eehmmm….Obama displays TYPICAL FASCIST BEHAVIOR & RHETORIC….nuff said…
At least the prima donas aren’t race baiters like Oblowme.
Ludicris and the other creeps racist Oblowme associates with have plenty of racist dollars for his racist campaign.
We saw him incite deviant hate whe he fingered his face live on CNN that Saturday? I think the weekend before te PA primaries…4/19 maybe.
I saw it and got the message. I a no longer an nth generation Democrat anymore.
I am actually feeling nostalgic for America. Ted Kenedy showed me that I have been nothing but a crumb - an American nothing after all these years.
Let’s give it up for Ludacris! And put some air in your fucking tires, stupid.
screw your problem with my typing, lackey’s shift replacement.
Patti -
Priceless.
Now we know why Oblowme has to impersonate others.
kick their butts, Patti!
I think all pumas should sign up for his website and cemment away! We could start a group on there, I say the PUMA group!
Anyone??? Let’s go!
CNN is flipping over backwards defending the ONE. Lou Dobbs had a great skit on dollar bills though. He was showing graphics of real dollar bills next to those same bills with Obama on them. It was hilarious.
Obama definitely played the race card. Accusing people of racism when no such thing happened is the very definition using the race card. Examples of this are charges of racism if you don’t vote for Obama like what Chris Matthews did on Jon Stewart. And what happened to Bill Clinton in SC. That one still stings.
It’s ironic that the real racists are the ones accusing others of being racist.
Prediction: John McCain won’t tolerate Obama’s racist smears because he’s a Republican not beholden to the DNC and he adopted a black child. Considering that, it’s unconscionable that Obama is calling him racist.
Tek,
You are already right on with your prediction; released three hours ago Senator McCain says he agrees with his campaign manager. Good for him, don’t put up with one ounce of this slight of mouth bs.

Very funny.
I’ll take Tanking Politicians for 500 Alex.
“They’re mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process.”
I believe it is the DNC that has pretty much perfected that little game. This is the same crap they pulled on Hillary, so they go to the well again. Apparently he does what he wants, he’s suppose to introduce Kanye W at Lollopoluza in Chicago this week; and he can post a letter like this, but not one taking Ludacris to task on his site.
Who’s the frickin racist?
With the DNC …”The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. ”
P. J. O’Rourke
OOPS,
“And, as always, the HuffyPot rushes in to race-bait:
Bloggers at the Huffington Post launched a backlash to the backlash against Obama’s overseas trip, arguing in part that he wouldn’t face such criticism of acting premature if he were white.”
…again they let the cat out of the bag… jumped the gun… premature evocation, on talking points memo from Camp Obama, before he could make the initial charge… initial release, initiate the evocation. lol
Spilled the water laughing so hard.
ROFL, Linda, I love it; premature evocation.
There is a reason - maybe many reasons for his Race Baiting / RISKY remarks, ever so subtle, CUTE~ SASSY~ COY~oh so COOL~ he da man WORDS. Hmmmph. Yup. He is scared of sumptin.
Why can’t this j.o. just come out with his point? All he has to do is pull his lips back towards his ears real tight (Blue Lips turned down) (Neck veins protruding) and say what the efff is on his mind just like that VIP he’s married to…she’s got the balls in the Distict’s Mansion. She ain’t have no problem wit dat. Nah, Phallus has to beat around the bush, double speak and get his superest-duperest SECRET coded MESSAGE acrossed - and the “crumbs” will just debate it 24/7. Assselrod putting up that Gibb Numbskull all day to explain it. ROFLMPUMASS off.
It’s just a distraction, “Folks”. Get everybody everywhere babbling. They are frantic.
He’s a Pussy.
Let’s play a game: HoBO, you give me your COLB # and I will tell you who you are. I call for a TOWN HALL, PUMAs!
Have I mentioned how much I absolutely loathe SLIMY CREATURES?
The Q. Public are going to invent words, and inferences, that only Obama is the meaning of. I keep veering from Teflon Man… because he is SO much more than that… but really, does anyone out there know what the most viscuous substance known to man is? A substance which no man made container can hold. And hubris, did I mention Hubris before?
When someone attacks a persons character, the mature thing to do is to defend with proof. Unfortunately, the unqualified Black man has no respose other than to throw the childish race card into the mix, which weakens his character further.
Anyone who allows the term Racist as an excuse for being shown as a useless person is very unbecoming and is the most distructive form of campaigning even.
Time to prove to the world America is beyond the cries of an unqualified Black man as an excuse for his complete lack of qualifications to lead. Since leaders act and followers whine, which is Obama?
Leave Barack ALONE!
He’s a human. He’s making America a cool place again. But all you people care about is votes!
http://londonamerican01.blogspot.com/2008/07/leave-barack-alone.html
I thought this was cute “Voters have proven more suspicious of legislators.” It’s true, we prefer governors as candidates. But it’s funny to try and use that as a possible explanation for why people are so unhappy with this election. Somehow I doubt that’s been at the forefront of everybody’s list of reasons.
Here’s the link to Amir Taheri ’s article:
http://www.nypost.com/seven/07292008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/os_tour_de_farce_122049.htm?page=2
We should disseminate it.
Of course Obama played the race card. It’s the only card in his deck. You didn’t expect him to play the accomplishment card did you? How about the stance card? How about the solutions card? The judgement card? In the end you need to play the cards you are dealt. The race card is Obamas only hand.
hey, that’s an idea. Remember the deck of cards with Saddam Hussein and all of the Al Queda(?). Someone could make a deck f cards for Obama, 52 jokers/race cards.
Yeah, since he can no longer play the misogynist and sexist cards, tried and failed to play the JM=GWB card (as he did with HRC), he has only the race card left. How many times can he play this card before and during the GE? By November, voters will be sick of this cynical strategy.
Amazing. I would say I am speechless however the words I want to say, I wont. Whose fucking side is this guy on? God, I feel like the Democratic party should be thrown under the closest bus! Do they even give a shit about this country? Why was he even allowed to go and talk to any officials in another country as if he was already elected?! He would sell us out for his own personal gain just to prove a point. Just to appear he was right.
I just dont understand the Democratic party.
That one got me too.
And I completely agree, not only would he sell us out for his own personal gain but he would do it to save face as well.
