Baroque Obumma, awww poor guy...
Written by a guy named Remington, I would expect something a bit less metro as he plays a joker wild as a race card...

Since John McCain picked Sarah Palin, I feel as if I’m living a real life version of the movie Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? You know, the Civil Rights era movie starring Sidney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy? The entire movie is about the dilemma that a young, relatively inexperienced White woman presents to her family when she brings a Black man home.
The Black man is portrayed by Sidney Poitier, and he holds about 50 million academic degrees and is world renowned in the field of medicine. The young woman was only known for being pretty and White. The Poitier character, even after his many accomplishments, is suspect simply because he’s Black, which means he still might not be good enough to get a whiff.

But I can’t forget that the Republican Party involves itself in the private sex lives of individuals, the private reproductive rights of individuals, even the private critical family choices about the termination of life after illness, as was the case with Terry Schiavo. All of a sudden we shouldn’t pay attention to the choice of Palin’s teenage daughter to have a baby by a self-confessed teenaged redneck.
But again, if Obama’s hypothetical teenage daughter was a hood rat who decided to have a shorty with a neighborhood O.G., America would’ve collectively hollered, “Thanks for playing. Do not pass go. Do not proceed to the White House.”
So, as we proceed down the in-your-face, dumbed-down, anti-intellectual celebratory yellow brick road of ignorance that is contemporary American society, we must work hard for the change that we need. McCain and Palin have been very clever in switching this election from “What do you want?” to “Who do you want?” And if the question truly becomes “Guess who’s coming to dinner?” the racial double standard that is woven into the tapestry of this country may once again prove to be the ultimate decider.

The Democratics, deconstructing over us Christianists, are once more in danger of dampening their fresh knickers as they fret uncontrollably at the growing prospect of oblivion. Sounds like they are on the wrong end of an exorcism.

To understand how Team McCain intends to get away with stealing this election, we must recall how Team Bush got away with it four years ago. (Those aren't two different teams.)
The plan for stealing this contest has everything to do with the ostensibly surprising choice of Sarah Palin as McCain's VP.

Those numbers tell a very different story from the one hyped proudly by the men atop the Christianist machine. In particular, they said that they helped Bush prevail through their well-managed opposition to gay marriage--which Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, called "the hood ornament on the family values wagon that carried the president to a second term." That there was evidently no such wagon did not blunt the impact of such theocratic propaganda, which quickly resonated all throughout "the liberal media," so that it now stands as the truth.
Indeed, it was accepted as the truth so quickly that it went unquestioned even after the dramatic mass reaction to the Terri Schiavo case a few months later, when Bush and the Republicans in Congress intervened in that domestic tragedy, trying to force the very outcome that the Christianists were calling for: "Americans broadly and strongly disapprove of federal intervention in the Terri Schiavo case," ABC News reported. The public supported the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube by 63% to 28%, according to the network's polls.............
