This presidency flatters America to a degree that no white Republican can hope to match..

[MBB1984]

I believe race/American dream and white guilt are only a small part of Obama’s edge. More importantly, increased numbers of minority voters, both black and Hispanic, along with people of all races parasitically wed to entitlements are his ace cards.

The MSM is more powerful than most freepers want to admit.

All candidates have flaws, some more than others. The MSM exploits and beats to death any flaw in a Republican candidate. Obama has more flaws than most, and yet, none of them are mentioned.

The true enemy of this country is the MSM. I despise the MSM. The MSM is causing the collapse of America. Remember the movie Red Dawn? Silly movie, but the invasion happened, and the MSM is the occupying force. The MSM is no less dangerous, and no less offensive than an occupying enemy army.

Another reason to back Cain.

Not only is he extremely presidential and well qualified to implement the policies needed to turn this country around like the failing business it is, he removes the race card from the deck.

This is the same Shelby Steele who predicted Obama couldn’t win in 2008.

[Hodapp]

Most useful line of the piece: “Barack Obama believes in government; we believe in you.”

Delivered by Cain. Or Palin. Either could blunt his messianic symbolism.

Mr. Obama beats all of the Republican hopefuls in most polls.
Only half of the losers that voted for him buy into that crap trap.

[Revolting cat!]

Shelby Steele is right, as usual, but what he calls Obomba’s “cultural charisma” I call cultural white guilt, having seen it in practice around American corporations where high level executives tiptoe fearfully around incompetent black janitors.
