Is Team Obama that stupid, or did this just get away from them?

I know Pat Buchanan. I campaigned for him here in Louisiana in 1996. There’s no doubts he’s got his faults and baggage.

But when he sets pen to paper, he’s as good as it gets.

They have a whiteboard, and five obsessions on that board: Latinos, women, college kids, union members, and blacks. With this formula....you will win (as spoken by the experts within the team). So anything that occurs....that has consequences over the election....there is an immediate statement made. As silly as you or I think of these statements....they support the core group.

The common strategy of simply dealing with topics....won’t work for his election campaign...because there just aren’t alot of positives to chat about.

What Obama says or does in this case won`t have any effect on him politically.

The huge majority within the foggy-headed American electorate have no idea he made the Trayvon Martin comment.

Pat is one of the five to ten most eloquent conservative writers. I include Peggy Noonan and George Will in that mix as well as Victor Davis Hanson. One reads their stuff for content of course but the words have a rhythm, meter, and tone that is often magic.

it is about destroying the constitution and specifically the 2nd amendment. ...that and stimulating zer0bama base, both his racial base and the Marxist elements.

The Left-lock on the "Info-tainment" industry has worked hard to keep the American public fat, very dumb, and unhappy with Republicans.

He thinks that black solidarity of voting for the Dems will outweigh the number of Latinoes and whites who may not vote for him this time around because of this.

Completely disagree. A large swath of "regular Americans" are well aware of both the Zimmerman case, and Obama's opening salvo regarding it. It was all over the news, and even people who don't refresh FreeRepublic 800 times a day know and grasp the blatant racist messages being put forth in the media. It will hurt Obama politically and he needs to keep it up. The Chicago "community organizer" and professional troublemaker is being exposed for exactly what he is.

The left always relies on a misinformed but riled up populace. I have a friend who always parrots to me what he ‘knows’ is true, and it is almost always a repeat of what he gets from the MSM. Regarding this case, he thinks that Zimmerman followed Martin and attacked him, and that Zimmerman had no injuries to back up his story. He states these things as though they are established facts (he's college educated). Yes, he voted for Obama.

This went "viral" as the result of coverage by a local TV station. The Negro leaders jumped on it before they quite realized that young Trayvon of the Hoodie and Gold Teeth was not quite all one might want in a martyr.

Then the Mulatto in Charge jumped in with the "Son" comment, when depending upon to whom he was married, his "Son" might look like anyone, including the two English tourists who were butchered by a Negro in Miami. His mother and grandmother look like the woman who was butchered by Negroes in Oklahoma. Who knows what his "Son" might look like. To white voters with half-a-brain (talk about minority groups!) he looks like a fool.

Holder jumped in. He is vowing justice for Zimmerman, but strangely ignoring the violent threats from the New Black Panthers, and praising Al Sharpton.

To answer your question: Yes, Obama is stupid. But no, his handlers on Team Obama are not. It got away from them, but they will spin it back into control. If the election were tomorrow, they would win it.

5-dollar gas, 10%+ real unemployment, insane economic and energy policies, high taxes, etc. mean nothing to Obama's base in the big electoral vote states. That base has already decided Zimmerman's fate, and if we are not very careful, ours, too.

If you're referring to Obama's personal comments that he improperly inserted into the situation, I had a slightly different take on that aspect of things

So many things have happened during this singularly ugly and destructive Presidency which, when combined, suggest a slightly different reason, at least to me. 

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that it's simply a matter of Obama shooting from the hip, and his advisors either not being bright enough regarding diplomacy and forming their message to talk him out of doing these things or unwilling to, for whatever reason.  A man-child as narcissistic and  arrogant as Obama is must be absolutely awful to work with on a day-to-day basis, even for someone who shares his extreme ideology, and his policy yes-men may be cowering in fear of losing their lucrative jobs.....or being labeled 'racist' for daring to question him, as is the normal procedure his lackeys have employed for dealing with members of the public who dare disagree.

Obama has said so many breathtakingly un-Presidential things and spoken improperly so many times that I simply have a hard time believing that much of what he says is the product of a serious team's serious counsel.  I believe that he honestly feels he is far smarter than his advisors and rarely consults them.  Nothing he's said or done suggests to me that such a frightening scenario isn't exactly what's occurring......he is THAT childish and THAT arrogant.  He thinks that he can bully the Supreme Court, for Goodness sakes

I cannot comment on if Obama is actively involved with promoting this issue but at the very least while its viral its taking attention away from the issues of him being illegally in control of America.

Events like this will happen every week, its all about smoke in a house of mirrors.

Its a Communist thing.

(1)Latinos
(2) women
(3) college kids (and faculty)
(4) union members
(5) and blacks.

That's the Democrat base, OK. Our only chance is to win very heavy support from the women. God help the nation.

And most of the idiots who did hear it thought it was “thoughtful” or whatever.

Of course, you are correct. But stop and consider that he, like Al Sharpton, is really not talking to you. Team Obama's calculation is that they don't need you.

So true.

The Democrats only need one side of the bell-curve.

The prosecutors must have discovered new evidence to indict for murder.

"discovered"=manufactured

Unfortunately you are wrong. A large majority of Americans have their heads filled with MSM rubbish and believe that Zimmerman was profiling and committed murder.

Team Obama (and Obama) wants a race war. So does the UN, to insert its control. It’s been done before.
