I Like Ike v. We Back Barack

His ears were ringing, he was tired, the cigarettes were taking their toll, and yet he did not make silly mistakes. Not the kind which Barack Obama excuses as attributable to being tired, frustrated, etc. He was our general-in-chief during the European Theatre of Operations [ETO] effort to rid that continent of Nazis. He slept less than four hours a night for many days, even weeks in a row. A mere seven years later the nation elected Ike to be the Commander in Chief, who made mistakes even then, but never blamed them on being tired.

Barack Obama is not serious about his run for the most serious office in the world. It’s a mere test game, a scrimmage, practice for a later effort. Much as JFK “ran” for the V.P. nomination at the ’56 convention – a sham, a pretense, a mere show to make him known to the national audience. He had no intention of being sacrificed at such a tender age in 1956 – better to “practice” in the scrimmage of national exposure and go for the Big Enchilada in ’60.

Barack’s attack on Bush with the ‘mistake’ of attributing ten thousand deaths in the Kansas tornado was excused easily by the leftwing media. This proves that they do not take him seriously either – or they do not take the presidency seriously. Probably a combination of both biases.

If Obama were serious, he’d never claim at this critical, though early, stage that such a whopper of Gore-like exaggeration was minor.

My favorite Barrack slogan is this one:

Become part of the Obama nation.

(Say it quickly.)

In 1956, Kennedy was 39 years old. In 2008, Obama will be older than Kennedy was when he died. He will be older than Clinton was when he was elected. He will be older than Teddy Roosevelt was when he ran for his 2nd term.

I agree that if Obama does not make it this time around, he will be kicking around for future elections, but I disagree about his lack of seriousness.
