With that, Obama identified the new public enemy: the “distractions” foisted upon a pliable electorate by the malevolent forces of the status quo, i.e., those who might wish to see someone else become president next January. “It’s easy to get caught up in the distractions and the silliness and the tit for tat that consumes our politics” and “trivializes the profound issues” that face our country, he warned sternly. These must be resisted.
Why? Because Obama understands that the real threat to his candidacy is less Hillary Clinton and John McCain than his own character and cultural attitudes. He came out of nowhere with his autobiography already written, then saw it embellished daily by the hagiographic coverage and kid-gloves questioning of a supine press. (Which is why those “Saturday Night Live” parodies were so devastatingly effective.)
Then came the three amigos: Tony Rezko, the indicted fixer; Jeremiah Wright, the racist reverend; William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. And then Obama’s own anthropological observation that “bitter” working-class whites cling to guns and religion because they misapprehend their real class interests.
In the now-famous Pennsylvania debate, Obama had extreme difficulty answering questions about these associations and attitudes. The difficulty is understandable. Some of the contradictions are inexplicable. How does one explain campaigning throughout 2007 on a platform of transcending racial divisions, while in that same year contributing $26,000 to a church whose pastor incites race hatred?

You have to know, when civilians are coming to your troops for medical care, that the war is winnable.
Need a thread check? LOL.
Thanks. It’ll take the NTSB to figure out what just happened. LOL
I’d just read the “Sadr City” thread, moved on, and when I saw your post I thought “how in hell did I get back here” then realized
“whew, HE”S lost” LOL, getting late.
Can’t you just leave Obama alone and let him eat his waffle?
The Obamunist got K-hammered
If this scumbag Obama thinks standard questions about his character are “distractions”, just wait’ll somebody finally gets up the guts to ask him about those limousine cocaine binges with his gay lover, Larry Sinclair.
Come on Chuck, you're the psychiatrist. It is "class struggle" not class interests. Osama won't say what he really means, they never get elected that way. But you can say it.
The guy is a Black Liberationist Commie.

Obama doesn’t do that well when they change the subject either. He promises to stop or slow down weapons research when China is disabling satellites, producing stealth subs that can sneak into the middle of our naval task forces, et.
Obamaphiles...LOL.
