For months, Barack Obama has complained about the poverty his family suffered while earning a mere $200,000 per year. Last night he ridiculed his political opponent for a joke he had made about high-income earners qualifying as “middle class.”
Last night, the man who opposed welfare reform bragged that while serving in Illinois he had “moved more families from welfare to work.”
The man who misled the public for four years about his vote to let a Chicago-area hospital continue leaving premature abortion survivors to die, and who promised that his first act as president will be to re-legalize partial-birth abortion, offered this calm plea to the nation: “We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country.”
The man who is evading legitimate debate by smearing our own mild-mannered, thoughtful Stanley Kurtz as a “fear mongering . . . right-wing hatchet man,” last night called for “a new politics for a new time.”
If you think that Senator Barack Obama stretches the truth, then don’t forget to take his introduction by Senator Dick Durbin with a grain of salt, as well. “To a country weary of the politics of division and deadlock, he has brought a message of unity and change,” said Durbin. “This man, Barack Obama, has inspired America to believe that we can come together and meet the challenges of this new century and rise up to a better place.”
What “better place” might that be? He can’t possibly be referring to Chicago. There must be someone out there who remembers the 2006 election, in which Durbin and Obama together thwarted the efforts of bipartisan reformers who had reached across party lines to clean up their city’s politics.

‘Little Dick Durbin says: “This man, Barack Obama, has inspired America to believe that we can come together and meet the challenges of this new century and rise up to a better place.”’
Most of us already know that from the example of Ronald Reagan. There’s the real inspiration. Dick and that fool are just now figuring it out.
Inspired I am. I am so inspired to help cause a landslide againt the Democrat Party.
Was Obama on last night? Strange, it’s not on the news anywhere. All I hear about is Sarah Palin. (/smirk)
BTTT!
Great article by David Freddoso! Thanks for posting.
A message of unity, eh?
“Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher” was a message of unity.
Let me be the first to suggest that unity is not a desirable end.

Exactly.
Nor is equality - if in doubt, google ‘Procrustes’.
What did we in the “red” part of Illinois do to sentence us to have Dick Durbin and the Chosen One as our senators??
Obama: "Women's right to abortion is a private matter"
I can remember when sex was a private matter and the resulting pregnancy (wanted or not) a responsibility. Abortion was always a public matter.
The Democrats have succeeded in turning that on its head.
As one who lives in the blue section I think a lot of folks succumbed to politicians, both Republicans like Ryan and Dems like Durbin and Daley, who believe in entitlement politics. Our money is their entitlement and they, in turn, promise entitlements to the masses. Over the years, I saw little difference between the DuPage Co. Republicans and “Pate” Philip and the Crook Co. Dem machine.
“Inspired I am. I am so inspired to help cause a landslide againt the Democrat Party.”
I thoroughly agree...Our Republican Party will make the Changes that are needed after the American voting public kicks out the slugs, doggers, do-nothing but whine, Democrats who are holding up Progress in this country...Yes Progress—the Dems think they have a lock on that work..don’t be fooled—the last 15 years they have a lock on one thing: Delay, delay,delay..stall everything good..From now on The Republicans will be the Party of Change..we will seize the agenda and do it right...The Republicans are a-Changin...
Lousy good for nothing dimRATS...go back to the moon or the batcaves where you come from every day...drink from your broth of bats wings, eye of newt,whisker of fly and whatever else puts you into a state of suspended stupidity....
WHO? The mojo is gone now if he ever really had it.
Is the magnificent Karl Rove behind this genius or is there another Evil Architect to whom we owe credit and obeisance?
