OBAMA: RORSCHACH CANDIDATE
New York Post ^ | 12/12/2006 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 12/12/2006 7:13:53 PM PST by etradervic

December 12, 2006 -- IF you love Barack Obama, as almost everybody interested in U.S. politics does right now, ask yourself this simple question: What do you know about his opinions on any subject?

You probably remember he gave a masterful speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. You recall how he spoke and that it was he who spoke: a poised and handsome black man with a deep voice that's reassuring and commanding at the same time...

... He's already become king by acclimation. Why would he tarnish his crown at this moment by getting into a bruising battle - when at some point in the next decade he can have the Democratic nomination with a snap of his fingers?

A vote for Obama, is a vote for Osama!

He's so phony it's insulting.

A fabricated life with NO accomplishment while being very Clintonesque.

It's not Rorschach, it's Hussein.

It was like in 1999 with Colin Powell. Nobody knew his positions on anything, consequently everybody wanted to believe that he agreed with them. Obama is in the same boat. I think Americans genuinely do want to elect an african-american president, just a non descript one. Right now for most Americans, he fits the bill. He chats with Oprah, discusses religious faith and he smiles.

This too shall pass. He will be pegged on taxes, and immigration, and spending, and foreign policy, and abortion and every other issue. Each time he makes a concrete statement when people are listening, another chunk falls away to the side. It's all hype right now.

Well, he's black. That's SOMETHING! That's an extra 50 points on the qualifications test. And not too black, like some James Brown. Add 20 points. Other than that, the boy is a white canvas on which white guilt can paint all its illusions and historical complexes. Think Chauncey Gardiner of Kosinski's Being There.

Thank you for FINALLY bringing that subject up!
Barack Hussein Obama was raised as a Muslim in his formative years!
I believe that fact is in one of his diatribes , also known as Bestsellers!
Are we living in an Alternate Universe or whaT?

Rush needs to point this out as does Mike Gallagher who state the opposite, he is not inherently a Univrsal whatever!

I doubt if Americans are willing to elect a leftist African-American named Hussein. Eventually, there will be an African-American President but it will not be BHO. But for now, it's entertainment.

Although "acclimation" is a word, I think the one Podhoretz really means is "acclamation". It's strange this would get by a proofer.

Brainless soccer moms find this guy attractive. The mainstream media's foremost audience is brainless soccer moms. Ergo, it's all Obama, all the time.

Until the brainless soccer moms move onto something else, that is.

Speaking of Clintonesque, Obama gives me the willies, just like Clinton did.

Don't know anything about him, so I can't understand it, but when I just hear his voice I have to turn off the radio/tv.

I wonder if we will find out he's just another playboy.

What army would he have to overcome up to 2.4 million military personnel all who have sworn on their honor to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic?

Game. Set. Match?

Obamas emergence is orchestrated by Hillary and the DNC(with the help of the bucket carrying media). They must want a cheerful likable guy to add to the primary mix....not someone to challenge the queen but to make her more likable and offset her colorless caustic personality. They will not battle each other in the primaries, but will work together as a team framing the issues for the left. He will then deliver his supporters to her after Super Tuesday. I don't even think he will be the #2 on the ticket though. My guess is Vlasik or Baye who have a greater chance of delivering all they need.....Ohio..

I don't think an AA can be president unless he is first a successful Governor. There are too many examples of incompetence among the (Democrat) black mayors for Americans to put their country in the hands of an AA unless he has proved his competence first.
