Great read..... there is only room for one redemmer in the world and it is not Obama-rama...
Yup.
Someone in the London media gets it.
I’m at a loss for how Obama managed to assume this role, outside of the massive media promotion, especially beginning on election night 2004. You’d figure since he was in the state senate for 8 years Illinois would be a veritable paradise and have an afterglow from Obama’s aura. But I didn’t notice much inspired leadership coming from him all those years (or from anyone else for that matter) and if the Democratic and Republican U.S. Senate frontrunners hadn’t fallen to scandals, Obama would still be toiling away in obscurity in Springfield.
Sure, he is physically appealing and suave and well-spoken and all that, but where is the substance? This is a time in our history in which we need substance by the ton and, so far, I haven’t seen it in Obama.
But he is not a saint. He is a (smart and eloquent) More pandering to his ethnicity man with a personal history that is startlingly shallow set against the scale of the office he seeks to hold" Now that's the truth.
I'm sick of hearing this boilerplate, particular from Obama's critics as if it's above debate. I dispute he's any of the above.
Actually, a pretty good assessment of the dishonorable reprobate.
Everyone really needs to get this movie and watch it.

Obama is 100% Chance the Gardner
I saw it in the theatre when it first came out. It is eerily like what’s happening now. Also look for “Idiocracy” and you’ll see where we’re headed.
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderThe people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.
The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
...part of this is a result of all the Dem losses from 1994 to 2004 - their bench strength was gutted...to me, Obama's ascendance signals weakness on the part of the Dem's...
I can’t get past his purple lips, that’s all I see.
“I like to watch TV.”
"Gimme your votes, suckas!"
Read all this about the media love-fest for Obama, and you would think there was some possibility that the man will be able to draw flies in the general election. The WV primary is a harbinger of the kind of result to be expected in the general election.McCain is no bargain by any means, but they say it's better to be luck than good. And McCain at least hasn't married a woman who hates me, and hasn't raised his children to hate me. I should be able to expect that much in a president . . .
