Bitter Pill (Obama's condescension catches up with him)

Bitter Pill

By George Neumayr

Published 4/25/2008

Never trust a campaign slogan that ends in a preposition. "Change we can believe in," reads Obama's pompous promise on his website. A quote from Obama hovering nearby seeks halfheartedly to flatter voters by suggesting this change will enlist their genius too: "I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington...I'm asking you to believe in yours."

A similar song and dance is contained in his bafflingly arrogant mantra: "We are the ones we've been waiting for." That apparently means whoever appears last is best -- the political equivalent to Darwin's theory of evolution.

Offering himself to the nation as the charismatic consummation of uncorrupted liberalism worked for awhile but now leaves an increasing number of people bored and irritated.

Unlike the cynical JFK, who wore his claimed idealism lightly, Obama actually seems to believe his narcissistic slogans, as do his followers, who, like the black novelist Alice Walker, present him as a gift to a racist nation and chance for Americans to prove at long last their entrance into the light.

EVEN IF OBAMA were less deluded and empty,.....

Many many issues at play here... But have you ever heard, some, many Blacks (whatever the number is :) consider the act of BSing, the act of just plain talking, some call it "raping" BS elevated to an art form?... Some of them think all they have to do is BS their way through... and they will somehow will convince you of anything?

I think they believe deep down they are such 'fantastic talkers,' and that they can sell you anything even if there is nothing but empty air behind the words.

Yes, obama can 'rap,' in a 'white style' no less I admit... And then the MSM did the rest in their adoration of the messiah :)... But I always knew there was nothing there!... Just plain BS that the left wants to believe so desperately!

Never trust a campaign slogan that ends in a preposition.

Reminds me of the famous Chicago Daily News headline about the prison murder of Richard Loeb (as in Leopold and Loeb), who at age 19 spoke fifteen languages, "Richard Loeb, despite his erudition, today ended his sentence with a proposition."

FYI: In January 1936, Loeb was attacked by fellow prisoner James Day with a straight razor in the prison's shower room, and died from his wounds.[3][13] Day claimed afterwards that Loeb had attempted to sexually assault him.
