If Barack Obama gets his way, the Oxford English Dictionary will have updated its definition of "distraction" by the end of the campaign: "Diversion of the mind, attention, etc., from any object or course that tends to advance the political interests of Barack Obama."
After his blowout win in North Carolina last week, Obama turned to framing the rules of the general election ahead, warning in his victory speech of "efforts to distract us." The chief distracter happens to be the man standing between Obama and the White House, John McCain, who will "use the very same playbook that his side has used time after time in election after election."
Ah, yes, the famous distractions with which Republicans fool unwitting Americans. Ronald Reagan distracted them with the Iranian hostage crisis, high inflation and unemployment, gas lines and the loss of American prestige abroad. Then, the first George Bush distracted them with the notion of a third Reagan term, as well as the issues of taxes, crime and volunteerism. After a brief interlude of national focus during two Clinton terms, another Bush arrived wielding the dark art of distraction.
Forget "bitter"; Obama must believe that most Americans suffer from an attention-deficit disorder so crippling that they can't concentrate on their own interests or values.

The only word acceptable when speaking about Obama is 'change', as in "change we can believe in', of 'the fierce urgency of change'. Also acceptable is 'we are the one we have been waiting for'. Does everyone understand what the thought police in the MSM is telling us? Good, now go about you pathetic little lives until Barry is elected and can svae you from your God and Guns which you cling to.
That’s just typical politics.
Can I say Hussien?
With a complicit media, this guy’s slipperyness is going to be hard to stop. Everything is either racist, same old politics, or a distraction from the issues at hand. Never mind the guy holds no single qualification to be in the office and has the sketchiest background in the history of presidential politics.
Obama is a true believer. In himself, mostly.
B/S artists who have learned to talk like traveling sideshow preachers.

Facts about Obarnum are merely the VRWC trying to affect the outcome of an election. He’s out Clintoning the Clintons.
