Click on URL - look over at the right side - it's under 'The Obama Vaults.'

It's a 2007 New York Times article, in which Obama slipped up when talking to an AP writer.

Obama really isn't interested in what suburban voters want, either. He just wants their wealth to redistribute to the inner cities.

“Suburbs” is a black-racist code word for “Caucasion”

This is a piece that the NY Times probably thought would never come to light, and that it would be read by libtards, agreed to by them, and forgotten.

Now that Obama’s socialist/redistributive ideas and goals have come to light, this piece and what it says has new life now.

Osama wants the sub's burned to the ground, all of use moved to the intercity, go to government schools, work for the city for peanuts or be union thugs, live in government rat trap housing, eat at the shelter, use the county health department for health care, take the bus, throw away our cars, turn in our guns, give 65% of our income to taxes, and piss on the military. That is what Obama and his surfs want. Everyone who votes for this scum should have to leave the country and move to Kenya.

Obama has basically run an urban+colleges+blacks campaign. He’s targeted a more narrow slice of the campaign than Kerry did in ‘04. I guess his prolifigate ad spending can make up for this strategy, though I’m not sure. He’s going to get trounced by rural and suburban voters. Now that it’s becoming clear that he’s not some kind of centrist ‘New Democrat’ but rather an old school liberal with a racial chip on his shoulder I will not be surprised to see him underperform Kerry.

It’s a mistake to start with the Kerry performance of ‘04 as a baseline of support for Obama. He’s alienated way too many Kerry voters with this campaign. Plus, how many people who cast their ballot for the arch-conservative Bush in 2004, at the time in the position of defending a rapidly unpopular war are going to switch to voting for the most radical left wing presidential candidate ever?

Plus, McCain is not Bush. As much as Obama has tried, he has not been able to make the case that McCain = Bush.

I think McCain did a lot better in the last debate than the media gave him credit for. “If Senator Obama wanted to run against Bush he should have run four years ago” is a memorable line, and one that rings quite true.

Since the debate, Obama has yet to come up with a real response to the ‘Joe the Plumber’ attacks. It’s now clear to the American people that Obama’s “change” consists of the old, tired liberal programs of old: tax hikes and more deficit spending, primarily to those who haven’t earned it. Further, it’s clear that we know very little about Senator Obama. The only thing left is for the nation to find out that Obama was a cokehead in his youth.

Me too! And I don't care much for RINOS either.
It is tough living in Maine with Collins and Snow.
But Collins at least is responding to some nasty attack ads.
But as we say, better a RINO you know than an Obama moonbat you don't know.

Drudge has a compass, no doubt. Hopefully, it will point him toward the Khalidi tapes and some errant racist talk by Michelle and Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama.

Don't think so.

As far as the media was concerned, as well as every nutjob lefty, Bush was the most conservative president ever. It's hard to see someone who voted for Bush in '04 now pulling the lever for Obama, save for a few DC party circuit types.

He wants to empty the suburbs and force the people into cities, where they will be dealt with appropriately.

In the primaries, sure.

He’s going to get trounced by rural and suburban voters.

If Obama had to actually craft an appeal to win suburbanites over or to pretend to be an ordinary working stiff, he might be in trouble, but the economic shocks have done a lot of Obama's work for him.

A lot of suburbanites are breaking to Obama because of the economy. He may still lose it all, but so far, he's doing better than Kerry.

Kerry trying like anything to be everyman was ridiculous. Obama comes across to a lot of voters as a fog -- largely because the media doesn't ask him tough questions -- and that's enough for them to vote for him.

Plus, McCain is not Bush.

True. But people are more fed up with Bush now than they were in 2004, and that hurts McCain.

"Suburbs" is a black-racist code word for "Caucasion"

That's why he didn't want to take sides when the Russians attacked Georgia last summer--just killing some Caucasians.

Obama's boredom has a distinguished pedigree. Karl Marx found the peasants boring ("the idiocy of rural life").

Lets be fair. His primary campaign was that but his main campaign has all been about “middle class tax cut” and “McCain=Bush.”

His margin in polls right now is built on exurbs and suburban voters who are normally republican but upset with the Republican party.

Hopefully we can push this message in the last few days to destroy obama’s lead in these areas.

Do you think Drudge's compass will ever see fit to 'find' Odinga??? Odinga seems to be universally off-limits. Either it is an made-up story (not) or people are afraid to show the scenes of Obama's kin inciting genocide, and then the aftermath - people hacking others to death and burning Christian churches and the occupants.

Odinga is the one, single story that does not take any explanation - it can be told in 8 minutes of video and leaves you absolutely stunned.

So why would the NYT try to destroy [its] Messiah?

At least one of the following:

(1) Stupidity - The NYT doesn't realize this could harm Obama, because it also has no respect for the suburbs.

(2) Hillary - The NYT is trying to help Hillary by sabotaging Obama.

(3) Mole - Someone in the NYT is trying to undermine the paper's goal of getting Obama elected.

Admittedly, I don’t have any information; just wishful thinking. I have seen the Odinga video. I don’t know if the African connection would crack any eggs when the general electorate seems to be willing to put all their eggs in the basket on the left.
Even the Khalidi thing is weak unless it has Obama endorsing him and his positions in clear and unambiguous language. That’s why a tape of Barry or Michelle making racist statements such as those of Wright or Farrakhan would have the most impact.
At this point, you need something really direct and ham-handed to get people’s attention.

I never found the article; but, that’s neither here nor there.

If this is true, then the word needs to be gotten out in the ‘burbs of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Denver, St.Louis, Kansas City, Manchester, and D.C.

Coleman Young, the first Black mayor of Detroit, told the people of Detroit, in the ‘70s, to arm themselves to stave off an attack from the suburbanites. That is no joke, my friend, that is a fact. Check it out.

When suburbanites hear about this (and they will), since 28 mil have went to Drudge today... and they will spread the word (by word of mouth) to multiplied millions more.

That will cook Obama’s political goose in the suburbs.
