You’re absolutely correct. When Obama says, “and I’ve said this repeatedly” that is DEAD ON code for “get ready, I’m about to tell you another bold faced lie”.

Like Oblowme and FISA? Those principles?

Or NAFTA wink wink nudge nudge with Canada, while lying to Ohio voters?

Then Oblowme badmouthing most Americans saying these bitter white folks what with their wanting to keep their trades and all while he was campaigning in San Francisco.

How about an alleged class action lawyer who voted against class action lawsuits?

What about Oblowme voting for the Dickhead Cheney Energy Bill?

And pushing worthless friggin ethanol in order to win the Iowa primary.

Or Oblowme letting his constituents freeze in Rezko’s shitty taxpayer funded buildings?

Or the Oblowmes getting in bed with convicted felon Rezko (16 counts of public corruption) re: a mansion.

And the Oblowmes spouting the same BLT crap that NOI leader Farrakhan does.

The Oblowmes being buddies and working with and for remorseless Pentagon and other American places bombers William Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn.

STFU about principles, you terrorist sympathizer.

I think that the debates will be determinative. From what I’ve seen, although McCain’s speeches are usually not that good (there are exceptions)he is pretty interesting when it comes to one-on-one interviews and comes across as feisty and articulate in debates. So stay tuned.

We all know Brokaw is in the tank for Obama and he gave him what Merkle wouldn’t give him a speech at the Brandenburg Gate not the Victory Column, so he could try and push the JFK speech connection. Brokaw must have had a senior moment. Yea right!!

This really made me cringe. Typical patronizing attitude towards the soldiers. “They can make a difference if they’re serious about what they do”

“Well, the–well, the–look, there’s no doubt, and I’ve said this repeatedly, that our troops make a difference. If–you know, they do extraordinary work. The troops that I met, they were proud of their work, they had made enormous sacrifices, they had fought-”

This is gone from real clear politics. Is that usual?

And it’s the independent research and expecting nothing less than intelligent answers to substantial questions of the “educated vote” that’s the antidote to the koolaide offered by the Obama marketing campaign.

This antidote makes the koolaide kind of impossible to swallow.

Obama’s “educated vote” is a myth spread by the msm because the real educated vote asks real questions and expects real answers, and does independent research to verify those answers.

Obama’s “educated vote” always cite his speeches and words as their reasons for supporting him. They can never cite any of his accomplishment to back their choice - because there’s none.

Obama is a 47 year old middle aged man who hasn’t achieved anything substantial. With nothing to back up his claim to the office of POTUS - surely it speaks volumes about this man who’s going for it.

An “educated vote” sees past his rhetoric.

His decades long associations with terrorists and Rezko-types, his legacy in the Southside of Chicago, Annenberg Challenge etc - “educated votes” vet them too.

Clinton’s supporters ask substantial questions and expect intelligent answers, not those ‘uhhh … ahh … umm …’

Clinton supporters are the “educated vote”.

Obama’s “educated vote” is a myth, deployed by a marketing campaign - which if repeated often and long enough, will be believed/bought by some. And since the “educated vote” vets and does independent research - won’t be among them.

So, Obama’s “educated vote” is a myth.

I agree, Madison. And to add to all this, the media are now just getting wind of the Edwards’ love-child scandal. Why now? Indeed, why not during the primaries?

I believe it is to plant a diversionary story for the GE so that Obama’s past and questionable liaisons will not be examined by the media. Instead, Edwards will be their salacious target.

It’s the same strategy that Obama & his media surrogates tried to use toward the end of the primaries against Sen Clinton by planting a salacious gossip-filled and unsubstantiated story about Bill Clinton’s supposed fooling around during the campaign trail.

When you examine Obama’s past campaigns in Chicago, he has a pattern of using salacious scandals to his advantage (e.g. Ryan). This GE will be no different–only this time he’ll throw Edwards to the media dogs to divert attention away from himself and his past.
