Panic In Hopeyville
For at least the fourth time, Obama has played the tired, banal, stale race card in order to smear the McCain campaign and make himself look like a victim. Because he can’t win on issues, he is playing the only card he has—his race.
His banal whining will be all too familiar to readers here:
“…not your typical presidential candidate…got a funny name…Republicans say…we’re going to scare people about Barack…maybe he’s got Muslim connections…he hangs out with radicals…he’s not patriotic”…blahblahblahZzzzzz.
Except for the “hangs out with radicals” bit which is true, McCain has never said any of the above and neither has anyone on his campaign.
Do we really want a president who casts himself as a victim? What does that say about Obama? Why doesn’t he use facts to prove his case instead of the race card? Why does he deliberately make himself look weak and unpresidential?
What a loser—Barry Wiiiiiner.
Let’s Start A Pool On When Obama Will Dump Biden
Joe Biden was chosen by Obama for VP in hopes of shoring up his severe lack of foreign policy experience but unfortunately in the process also destroyed the fantasy that he was the “change” candidate.
Biden is well known for making off-the-wall, obnoxious comments, but then Obama knew that when he chose him, unless Biden had not been properly vetted by the campaign.
And so it begins—the diarrhea of the mouth that Obama will have to clean up, unless his press pals can cover it up.
At a campaign stop in Florida, Biden promised that if elected, the Obama administration would bring criminal charges against the Bush administration “[i]f there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued…[n]ot out of vengeance, not out of retribution. Out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president—no one is above the law.”
Biden is obviously tossing red meat to the frothing BDS sufferers who will vote for Obama/Biden en masse, but why, aside from partisan fervor would Biden say something so idiotic?
Obama/Biden going through Bush administration data with “a fine-toothed comb” would be unprecedented in our 200+ years as a nation. Not only would it completely alienate and anger those who believed Obama’s b.s. about change and bipartisanship, it would open the door for the next GOP POTUS to go through Obama’s administration data with “a fine-toothed comb”. Or maybe even Clinton’s, if the statute of limitations hasn’t run out. There was some illegal actions going on with Clinton, otherwise Sandy Berger wouldn’t have risked the consequences of destroying classified documents on his behalf.
Even though Obama told a Philadelphia newspaper that he would investigate Bush to see if “genuine crimes” had been committed, my guess is that Obama will not spend the first part of his term by further dividing the country by inflaming partisan passions by going on a witch-hunt to persecute and prosecute Bush and his administration officials. Obama, while not experienced in executive matters—or ANY matters except running for POTUS, is not stupid—he is a canny and talented politician and ultimately won’t follow through with this bit of hysterical hyperpartisanship, which would just turn around and bite him in the keester when the next GOP president is elected.
This is just the beginning of the Biden embarrassments—-Obama better hope his worshipful press can control Biden’s mouth, because Biden obviously can’t.
