LILEKS (James) the Bleat ^ | February 20, 2008 | James Lileks

Scroll down and begin reading here:

On the radio today Medved and Hewitt both asked Obama supporters to call and say why they were supporting their man. Specifics, please. The replies were rather indistinct...

I wonder if Conservative/Republicans have JUMPED THE GUN in ganging up on Obama.

Hildabeast is far from being done, but the assumption is made that she is.

The fact that Republicans/Conservatives have focused all their attacks on Obama, may infact end up reviving their most hated enemy - Hildabeast.

I get the sense that we started this barrage a little too soon......we are helping Hildabeast here.

He will meet with the Iranians, personally, and conduct a frank personal interrogation about their nuclear intentions

Oooo, stern language?

hate to agree at all with Hillary and those people, but......

I think part of Obama’s appeal is that he speaks very well, and speaks in enough generalities that people come way thinking they support his stands on issues, though they don’t know what those issues are. And part of Obama’s appeal is the strong ABC vote (anybody but Clinton) which exists among Democrats too, it’s not just a Republican thing to dislike the Clintons.

I think that having hildabeast and obammarama in a tie going into the convention is the best result, with hildabeast cheating to win the nomination via the Florida and Michigan delegates.

So little is really known about this guy, who mainly spouts beautifully framed platitudes, that the Dim base is projecting their ideal candidate on him.

I do not understand why that many support B.H. Obama. I come up with nothing. Many support him because they are told to do it by media. Other fans because he is black or has a good voice or is the only candidate who acts nice and has no sordid personal life. But now there is a scandal brewing.

I also do not understand why people support nasty Hillary or nasty and loony tunes John McCain. McCain's defense against the latest scandal today was a hoot and Cindy could not keep a straight face. He seems to be running out of steam.

A Hillary comeback is the best thing for the GOP. A brokered convention will rip their party apart, and keep a lot of them home in November.

The answers to this question will ultimately be Barry O's undoing.

The man has done nothing, stands for nothing, and his core values are those of Fidel Castro.

Smells like a loser in November to me.

Yes, we should hold our fire on Obama until March 5, presuming he clinches the nomination in the Ohio and Texas primaries.
She has age and treachery on her side, so one can’t be too careful.

Those who follow Obama are byproducts of our education system which has produced a bunch of well-speaking morons devoid of wisdom and common sense.

Oh, come on. He's got serious plans. They are as follows:

For dealing with the economy = change.

For dealing with Iran = hope

For fixing the healthcare system = change

For ending our dependence on foreign oil = hope

For fixing race relations = change

For fixing Social Security = hope

Repeat as needed for all other issues.

And, in turn, since he is half Muslim, Iran tells him the truth about their intentions. Armed with the truth, he will return to America to share the good news that Iran has no intention of bombing the hell out of the US. RRRRRiiiight!
