Charles Krauthammer: Obama may make Clintons look scrupulous
Union Leader ^ | June 28, 2008 | CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

Posted on 06/28/2008 9:27:59 PM PDT by Red Steel

"To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies."

THAT WAS THEN: Democratic primaries to be won, netroot lefties to be seduced. With all that (and Hillary Clinton) out of the way, Obama now says he'll vote in favor of the new FISA bill that gives the telecom companies blanket immunity for post-9/11 eavesdropping.

Behind all the glitter and teleprompter, behind all the shifting, shucking, and jiving, behined the media-rock star blitz, Barack Hussein Obama is a militant anti-American and an abject Marxist.

His stances on the issues in the IL and US Senate, and his willful associations of long standing atest to this.

THE GREAT SEAL OF OBAMANATION

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

I merely note with amazement that his media swooners seem to accept his every policy reversal with an equanimity unseen since the Daily Worker would change the party line overnight -- switching sides in World War II, for example -- whenever the wind from Moscow changed direction. ?

Good to see Krauthammer comparing bambi and his media swooners to communists.

Scruples? Is that a kind of sea food? They don’t seem too popular among the political classes.

It is not Obama’s candidacy. He is just the empty suit.

This is George Soros’ candidacy. This will be his way to destroy the country.

"You can be sure there will be no clear answer from Obama on any critical issue. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to his Obamabot cult members, who blindly follow him."

Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!

Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!

well , .. I like how Barry does his “Mussolini pose”

chin up , placid visage

I think he was a POSEUR once ,... a poseur in training , .. now it is ingrained

he knows that he can’t project , to the masses , unless he is in character

he is GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES , .. and he knows it , ... (( can you say Eliot Spitzer [?] , .. but the DNC dunces can’t even be saved by TheLeftiePress on this one , Barry will not be POTUS , it will be very nasty , in the run-up to Nov. 4th , and crazy SH*T in the aftermath ,.. Barry has too many “political warts & polyps” .. JMHO ))

I would like to belive that but cannot honestly say that I do. It’s different now. Things in this country have moved way beyond any sane level of common sense and decency. Through the leftist-leaning public school education and the most radical, leftist teaching across the American college landscape, an indoctrination has taken such a strong hold over the minds and emotions of so many Americans that it seems they will fall for anything...even to the point of electing an empty suit puppet like BHO—bought, paid for and controlled by some very powerful, evil-minded, ill-intentioned traitors of all that is good, right, wholesome, dignified, decent, honoroable, worthy, virtuous about America.

Never the less we can expect the abu-Obama candidacy to crash and burn on the scale of Dukakis, Mondale, McGovern and Carter.

I'm inclined to agree. The left might just disregard all the flip flopping (heck, they lauded Clinton for his ability to flip flop so effortlessly and be on all sides of an issue) and stick with him, but there are more than enough middle of the roaders who will be turned off. To them, Obama will begin to appear like a snake oil salesman.

bump!

Borrowing the quote from your Profile page, thanks!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

- Winston Churchill

Krauthammer gets it!

As public financing is not a principle dear to me, I am hardly dismayed by Obama's abandonment of it. Nor am I disappointed in the least by his other calculated and cynical repositionings. I have never had any illusions about Obama. I merely note with amazement that his media swooners seem to accept his every policy reversal with an equanimity unseen since the Daily Worker would change the party line overnight -- switching sides in World War II, for example -- whenever the wind from Moscow changed direction.

The truth about Obama is uncomplicated. He is just a politician (though of unusual skill and ambition). The man who dared say it plainly is the man who knows Obama all too well. "He does what politicians do," explained Jeremiah Wright.

When it's time to throw campaign finance reform, telecom accountability, NAFTA renegotiation or Jeremiah Wright overboard, Obama is not sentimental. He does not hesitate. He tosses lustily.

Why, the man even tossed his own grandmother overboard back in Philadelphia -- only to haul her back on deck now that her services are needed. Yesterday, granny was the moral equivalent of the raving Rev. Wright. Today, she is a featured prop in Obama's fuzzy-wuzzy get-to-know-me national TV ad.

Not a flinch. Not a flicker. Not a hint of shame. By the time he's finished, Obama will have made the Clintons look scrupulous.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

And the Liberal Mainstream Media is all too GLEEFUL to help him out all they can, every step of the way.

Krauthammer is great. He excoriated the press as thoroughly as he did Obama. If this pretender wins it will be due to the press willfully abdicating its duty to be informative instead of manipulative.
