I honestly wished that I did not have such a long memory since my loathing for the chimp started BEFORE 9/11, and afterwards, the weasel did little to convince me that he was competent–particularly with Cheney getting on Meet the Press two weeks later and proclaiming how important it was to revive “Star Wars”–that crazy missile defense pipe dream. We get attacked with assymetric warfare on 9/11 where missile defense, even if it DID work (and it doesn’t!), would not have helped one iota, and what do these idiots in the administration do? They go on TV to tell the American public that the most urgent thing for our defense against terrorism is an expensive missile defense program that doesn’t work and would not have helped on 9/11, if it DID work! And the media morons that are applauding Obama now are the SAME fools that said precious little back then!

Good Nite..

Perhaps I am the ONLY person here who actually BLAMED the chimp for 9/11 because he was an incompetent, arrogant fool who refused to listen to anyone! Besides, with the moron-in-chief pulling out of almost every multilateral treaty we ever signed, it seemed to me that the jerk was spoiling for a fight with someone. After all, what better way to enrich himself and his corporate buddies than by diverting attention to another “boogey man”? And do not even get me started on that “deer-caught-in-the-headlights” look on Bush’s face when he FINALLY resurfaced on 9/11 after flying all over kingdom come! (BTW, I am NOT saying that Bush had anything to do with “causing” 9/11–I am just saying that he ignored all the warnings from Sandy Berger to Richard Clarke and George Tenet. I will NEVER believe that 9/11 was not preventable with someone competent in the White House!)

But alas, I digress. My point is that the SAME media morons that were bowing down and kissing Bush’s behind following a speech that took him NINE DAYS to come up with are the SAME fools that were doing all the cheerleading for Obama’s speech. What those MEN failed to notice is the way that Obama equated ONE comment made by Geraldine Ferraro to all those crackpot racist rants of Jeremiah Wright!

I am truly amazed when I hear these SAME pundits compare Obama to JFK, MLK, or any of the other great orators. Bobby Kennedy was one of my favorites because he really inspired my generation. MLK is another one–I STILL get teary-eyed when I listen to any of his speeches. And Dale Bumpers, although not the master of oratory that some of these others were, his passionate defense of Bill Clinton was a sight to behold–particularly since I had never really thought that much of his speeches before then. Exactly how these self-appointed arbiters of the electoral process can actually get on TV and spout such nonsense, I will NEVER understand!

I recall reading a comment after one of Frank Rich’s more incendiary columns with a reader saying something to the effect that Rich, Matthews, and the other self-appointed authorities on politics would sit around and laugh about how they got this incompetent, first-term black senator elected president by pumping him up, just the way they must have been laughing after pumping up that imbecile that we are stuck with now back in 2000. Sad, but true.

It IS scary just how much power these media elites seem to have over public opinion–not so much because people are “stupid” but because most people do not have the time or energy to read and figure out for themselves what is really going on!

Obama plugs his books, openly at times of sublimianally at times, but always the same!

In his speech on Race, there was no need to inject the plug for his book! The sly way it was injected into the speech was for those who wanted more, go buy the booK!

Who would have taken MLK seriously if he said in his speech in Washington “In my book Dreams I stated” “Ihave a Dream”?

Who would have taken JFK seriously if he said in any of his speechs he said “In my book XXXXX” “It isn’t what America can do for me, it is what I can do for America”?

Yet since and including in the 2004 DNP convention Obama has injected his books in some way into his speeches! This is so cheezy a self promoting way it is disgusting! Yet no meida type has picked up on it because no one wants to admit they’ve been fooled or conned, that is a fact of life! Yet Obama fools and cons everyone every time he opens his mouth, so he can line his pockets with American peoples green! Amazing how all the fre publicity is adding to Obama’s greed while he tears the country apart on the Audacity of Dopes!

Shucks, we even got Cubans to vote for him in my county!

Wish I’d asked JC to appoint me to the Marshals’ Service, but money was flowing in the business so I waited too long.

George Hideous Wanker Bush and his CIA buddies (may they each and every one rot in hell) fucked him, dealing with Iran through the back channel.

Not likely to see his kind in my life, again.

And naturally, the Wright affair became Hillary Clinton’s ‘problem’ in no time at all, and one which she somehow is being held responsible for.

I disagree.

Clinton isn’t one to play the victim, even within her own house.

Unlike Michelle, and the bamster.

Reading your other comments, is it fair to say Obama’s camp feels it’s standing with the AA community would be harmed if photos of his mother were to surface, as she was Anglo?

That is very interesting.

At this point in American history, it’s time we decoupled sex from politics. The only people having more of it are the televangelists, it seems!

And, yes, Robert Kennedy, the quiet, sensitive but steely one. He was my hero, the one I instinctively trusted of all the Kennedys. I remember seeing this on TV all those years ago. I thought him magnificent, and so brave to personally deliver the news of Doctor King’s assassination to those followers who loved him deeply.

I’m afraid I’m one of the cynical doubters when it comes to Obama. After watching him condescend to the black community and cockily expect these folks to close ranks against all critics every time his character or experience came into question, I thought this last speech was just one more ploy to cast the heat in another direction. And naturally, the Wright affair became Hillary Clinton’s ‘problem’ in no time at all, and one which she somehow is being held responsible for. Who remembers all the Obama side stepping and plain manipulation of the truth that caused us to have misgivings about his judgment in the first place? We have Hillary to hate.

To me BO is all fluff and no substance.

Actually speaking the AA community cannot claim this man’s success because we had no part in forming it. PERIOD!

Wow! Strong words. I would love to read an entire diary from you on this subject.
