Barack, My Personal Jesus?

This stuff just writes itself. I’m talking about an email I received last night from a dear friend who also happens to be a reluctant Barack Obama supporter. My buddy flagged an article written by Mark Morford, columnist of the SF GATE, asking the question, IS OBAMA AN ENLIGHTENED BEING? Now I realize that that San Francisco–home of Jim Jones the death kool aid guy–has a well earned rep for nuttiness, but this paean to the 21st Century Buddha creeped me out.

I don’t know about you, but I sure as well can do without some leftwing version of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson. But here we have a serious guy (Morford that is) chatting this up without the obligatory wink that he’s blowing smoke up our hindquarters. Nope, the dude is dead serious. He writes:

Barack Obama isn’t really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.

This is what I find myself offering up more and more in response to the whiners and the frowners and to those with broken or sadly dysfunctional karmic antennae – or no antennae at all – to all those who just don’t understand and maybe even actively recoil against all this chatter about Obama’s aura and feel and MLK/JFK-like vibe. . . .

No, it’s not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn’t have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.

Dismiss it all you like, but I’ve heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who’ve been intuitively blown away by Obama’s presence – not speeches, not policies, but sheer presence – to say it’s just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers who, once Obama gets into office, will suddenly turn from perky optimists to vile soul-sucking lobbyist whores, with Obama as their suddenly evil, cackling overlord.

Here’s where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

Buddha? Jesus? Mohammed? I want a leader who knows that there are 50 states in America–not 58. I want a President who understands that they speak Pushto and Dari in Afghanistan, not Arabic. I want a Chief Executive who has enough common sense to know that he should not enter into a real estate deal with a crook on the eve of running for President of the United States. I will leave the walking on water, luminous soul, auto-elevation (floating in air for you unenlightened folks) and healing of the sick to hucksters, carnival workers, and Pentecostal ministers. Just give me someone who has enough sense to identify Jeremiah Wright as a race baiter and provocateur early on without sleeping thru 20 years of vile sermons only to awake, like a Rumpelstiltskin, to the belated realization that Wright’s views have no place in the mainstream of American culture.

Don’t save us Barack, save yourself.

  • Mel

    Ah Larry, please follow Obama’s teaching if he is the candidate after the DNP comvention and become a GOP for a day on Nov 4th!

    You know Barry has plans for everything, so what is a few million votes to replace by the messiah? He knows that for each vote lost to the GOp will require him to find 2 votes to balance it out, Obama thinks past situations, because he has the superiour judgement!

    It will make Michelle so happy too, after all, she is the one who claims that Barry is the one to lead us out of the troubles we are in and he is the example and the light!

    So make those two fine Americans happy Nov 4th, believe in Barry, he wants unity across party lines, he says change comes from us and that hope is there if you make the effort, so follow Barry’s example and cover all Barry’s teachings in one simple action he provided us the example of doing! Become a GOP for a day!

    Mark Morford is one of the most wickedly irreverant
    people I have ever read. His articles on the Bush
    Administration have kept me laughing until tears were rolling down my cheeks. I just can’t believe for a moment he wrote this for any reason except to
    mock this whole notion. I am betting his next column with be a gotcha.

  • Peggy Sue

    Now, this is where it gets really scary. The idea that we’re so spiritually bankrupt that we look to a politician to fill our souls, to raise us up to the next level of enlightenment is . . . nuts.

    I don’t want to sound like a nutzoid myself but Hitler had this affect on people [or so I've read]. His uncanny ability to sway and move his audience, the reports of people weeping and fainting in the crowd, and the absolute devotion of a nation of highly educated, cultured citizens who turned their free will over to a madman.

    I’m not saying Obama is a Hitler. But what I am saying that the atmosphere being created by this campaign is dangerously close to idolatry, something we should be hyper-alert to and reject without hesitation.

    Luminosity? A high-integrity vibration? What the hell are you talking about? Get a grip, man!

    If Obama is anything he’s a slick politician with an even slicker group of cheerleaders and rah-rah men, many of whom hold values and ideas that I absolutely detest.

    We don’t need a false Messiah. We need to have faith in our own God given powers of reason and creativity. We need a competent leader, not a snake oil salesman.

    I’m truly stunned by these comments. And I suppose this comes from our intellectual, creative class.

    God, help us all!

    Barack Hussein Obama plays the race card: early and often

    Barack Hussein Obama plays the race card: early and often

    (CHICAGO)(December 12, 2006) Barack Hussein Obama went to New Hampshire last weekend. The media scrum followed. But I went back to my library, to retrieve a dusty copy of the classic novel Being There by Jerzy Kosinski.

    Being There’s protagonist, Chauncey Gardner, is a one of the great characters in modern fiction. He is a simpleton who utters banalities that are taken as profundities by the media. Gardner’s meteoric rise tracks the same trail traveled by Obama.

    Is Obama a simpleton, or just another shrewd con man, working the American people the same way he has worked the system in the past? Is “Obamatics” just the latest snake oil being sold by a racial huckster? Could be. Perhaps reading the Chicago Sun-Times can help us.

    Lynn Sweet is a Washington reporter for the Sun-Times. She is a true believer in the Obama crusade. She is the founding mother and unofficial “soccer mom” of Obama’s rise to media imperviousness. But sometimes true believers have a way of innocently betraying the truth about their charges. Sweet may have done so in New Hampshire.

    I read the Chicago Tribune’s account of Obama’s trip to New Hampshire. Christi Parsons had no mention of Obama agonistes as a racial exploiter. Adam Nagourney of the New York Times similarly missed Obama saying “race is a factor.”

    But Lynn sweet did report Obama playing the race card. Sweet quoted B. Hussein as saying “minority candidates have ‘a higher threshold in establishing themselves with voters.’” Well.

  • SONIA

    and more on that article

    That is a laughable claim but a shrewd use of the race card to position Obama for future manipulation of the electoral process.

    The truth is exactly the opposite. Obama is being “seriously” considered because he is a racial curiosity. No white man with his tepid professional accomplishments would be considered as a serious candidate for president or showered with the attention Obama receives.

    Obama graduated from Harvard Law School and became a “community organizer.” Why is it that minority communities are perpetually seen as being in need of “organizers?” Are they perpetually “disorganized?” What did Obama organize?

    Obama is a lawyer who probably has never tried a serious lawsuit, and probably would have a hard time drafting an appellate brief. He rose to prominence by exploiting the fact of his abandonment by a father who was also a successful racial huckster. Barack and his wife are attractive ornaments in Chicago’s vibrant multicultural society, where many qualified and experienced and competent African-Americans are ignored and obscured by Obama’s shadow.

    Obama can best be compared to another salesman of “hope,” John F. Kennedy, who ran for president in 1960. By then, Kennedy had served 14 years in Congress, not two. He had served in a war and been grievously wounded, not been an “organizer” who never organized anything. Kennedy had experienced life, and near-death. What has Obama experienced? Very little, it seems.

    For him to claim that the barriers are higher, that the bar is higher for him to succeed, is nonsense. It is crass racialism. Obama is a product of the very “24-hour…small-minded politics” that he decries. “Barry” Obama? Makes a great speech. Absent the cablemeisters, Obama would be an obscure state senator in Springfield. He is the ultimate product of shrewd marketing and a pliable public, not the opposite.

    The New York Times quoted one breathless New Hampshire admirer as saying “I was very impressed with the fact that he wants to bring people together.” Betsy Shultis was identified as a “former” state representative. Maybe that’s why. She is easily impressed. Has anyone recently run on a platform of trying to separate people? Is the Republican “base” any different in concept than the Democratic “base?” Not really.

    Chauncey Gardner is a blood brother to Obama. Platitudes, bunkum, snake oil; Gardner and Obama share a common parent.

    Two years ago I pointed out that Obama came from a Muslim family and that he misrepresented the impoverished origins of his father. No one wanted to pay attention to the facts or the truth. Except me. On December 5th Sweet wrote that Obama was not hiding his middle name, “Hussein,” or his father’s religion. Obama may not have hidden it, but the media did. They didn’t want to bore voters with the facts about Mr. Obama.

    Much has been made of Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U. S. House last month. Obama would be the first lapsed Muslim to run for president.

    Of course Obama only plays the “dad” card when it serves him. No mention of dad’s religion or the Hussein family name when the klieg lights are on. (Ellison, by the way, is a convert to Islam, just as Obama is a convert to Christianity. Or does Obama have his “white” relatives to thank for that?)

    There was an orgy of media attention when Obama went to Kenya last summer. But, funny, I don’t seem to remember a similar orgy when Obama made a visit to his mother’s home town. He probably hasn’t been there recently. Only Dorothy wants to return to Kansas.

    When Obama visited New York last week, Cindy Adams wrote that his movements were as tightly controlled as those of a president. “Retail politics in New Hampshire?” Obama is the most closely scripted and controlled person in the media spotlight today. He is about as “retail” as the gold vault at Fort Knox.

    Don’t get me wrong. Americans are justifiably hungry to consider a qualified African-American candidate for president. Richard Parsons of Time-Warner comes to mind. Heard of him? Probably not. I thought so. Parson’s qualified.

    But Barack/Barry seems to have fooled New Hampshire. Don’t let him fool you. Unless, of course, you want to be fooled. Personally, I would rather believe in Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer than Barack Hussein Obama.
    In short, Obama is media construct who will disappoint a lot of people when the truth comes out. In 2004, Contrarian Commentary had it first. In 2006, we are still leading the pack, courtesy of truthful reporting by Lynn Sweet and the Chicago Sun-Times. Keep reading, and please don’t be a true believer unless and until you know the truth about Obama.
    Chauncey Gardner for president! Vote hope! And as we say in Chicago, “vote early and often!”

    Playing the Race Card…

    ——————————————————————————–

    Well, it was inevitable from a political party that sees people by their skin color more than your average person. Yeah, Democrats!! Barack Hussein Obama’s political campaign has started playing the race card. New politics of “change” …. all BS.

    Anyone that votes for John McCain is a racists.

    Obama Camp: McCain Has Racist Vote

    Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe says racists are probably going to vote for John McCain in November if Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic presidential nominee.

    Asked by National Journal’s Linda Douglas if race was going to be a problem for Barack Hussein Obama in the general election, Plouffe said:

    “We really don’t think so. I mean the vast, vast majority of voters who would not vote for Barack Obama in November based on race are probably firmly in John McCain’s camp already.”

    But he noted: “We have won white voters, particularly white voters under 60, in a lot of states. We’ve won white men voters in most of the states we’ve competed in.”

    Race could actually play out in Barack Hussein Obama’s favor, Plouffe suggested, telling Douglas in remarks reported by Ben Smith’s blog on Politico.com:

    “If Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic nominee, I think turnout amongst African-Americans, turnout amongst all voters under 40, and our ability to register new voters is going to be a very important piece of the puzzle.”

    Plouffe also said that Democrats who are voting for Hillary Clinton in the primaries “won’t agree with John McCain on issues like the economy and health care. And so I think that we are going to get the vast, vast majority of Democratic voters.”

They force her out of the race now they are demanding, like a beaten down wife, she must campaign hard for Obarf? Can this joker do nothing on his own? Now she must win the campaign for him, he can’t do it on his own? What a bunch of freaking morons. Yes, elect the candidate with the most handicapps and have the more qualified woman do his work.

    That write was about as fucked up as it gets.

    The reason they are saying that is because we are all turning off the cable for the summer. No more corporate tv, they think if they can twist Hillarys arm back on the campaign trail for Obama it will be something we’ll continue to pay to watch.

    I don’t think so!

  • Donald from Hawaii

    Exactly. Mark Morford lives to tweak and offend mainstream sensibilities. I’ve been reading him for years; I don’t take this particular article at face value, and urge others to do the same. If anything, Morford is subtly lampooning the Obama Zone and those inhabitants who worship at the feet of The Precious One.

    from TM,S hot diaries

    Psychic still stands by her prediction that Hillary will be our next President posted by democrat1
    06.08.2008 – 9:04 pm
    I do not believe in psychics. I am a secular humanist. When every poll is showing that Hillary is losing, I heard that one psychic, Michelle Whitedove is predicting since last year that Hillary will win. Then we had more bad news for Hillary. I wondered whether the psychic is just guessing or really predicting using her own techniques whether scientific or not. I am curious to know whether based on latest news, she would back track. Naturally after Obama coronation, I went to her site to see how she defends her prediction.

    To my great surprise, she is standing by her prediction even in her yesterday’s update.
    Her latest updated prediction is

    =Hillary will not concede and drop out. Hillary is reserving her right keep her delegates so she can reverse her suspension and take her bid for Presidency all the way to theDemocratic National Convention in Denver August 25-28.

    =My future vision remains the same, I see Hillary being sworn in.

    =Obama is now ego centered instead of solution driven. He is all talk and lacks a real a game plan. You will hear this in his upcoming interviews.

    = He has more scandals that will continue to come to light that will continue to tarnish his reputation. He will take a beat down in the media. When this happens the super-delegates can change their vote and go with Hillary.

    =

    = McCain will not be the president. The 2008 Election will be a win for the Democrats, although closely won.

    Her website says she correctly predicted last two presidential elections (win for W)

    Let us wait and see.

    Needless to say, I shall be happy if she proved correct

    Rules Committee Meeting Coming Up..

    I believe the rules committee is meeting June 29th to fully restore the delegations of Michigan and Florida. Obama didn’t want to do this last time because hillary would have got within 80 delegates. I’m sure they will restore the delegates but it will only be symbolic.

    Also it is not Obama’s choice for the v.p. The delegates make that choice.
    I don’t necessarily want her as v.p. either. Id’e much prefer her kicking Obama’s ass as Senate Majority Leader, after of course he’s lost the general election.

    Take the pledge and let all those organizations know that if they want our money, they need to pressure the DNC and the Superdelegates to nominate the best person for the job — Senator Hillary Clinton.

    Great points Sonia. They need repeating often and loudly, and of course ad nauseum, until the zealots relent. If this Morford article is satire, then it is creepy. If he is serious, then it is creepy and sick, and he has obviously been seduced!

    Peggy Sue brings up the idoltry point which also bears emphasizing. Seems like some folks have forgotten some of those points in the 10 commandaments that forbid idols, other gods. Clearly, Rev. Wright did not teach his parishioner well, and/or his parishioner was not present for these sermons and did not learn them. If Obama was a true Christian, he might practice and adhere to those commandaments, and dutifuly reveal his mere mortalness, so his cult might be able to actually see him for who he is, not the media creation he has fostered and hides under.

    No he can’t do anything on his own without being first breastfed by his wife and then sucking off of Hillary like a big overgrown baby.

    I can’t wait for the day his followers discover he’s the greatest con man of their lives. Unfortunately, by then it will be too late, and we’ll all suffer under the coming presidency of McCrazyTrain… :(

    Obama The Trophy-Wife
    It seems as if Hillary Clinton is just the latest mature, dependable, experienced woman to be unceremoniously dumped for a younger, prettier doe-eyed companion. No wonder many women are mad.

    http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-the-trophy-wife/

    Putting both to the scales, light Obama rose in the balance; Hillary was judged too heavy. The Democrats threw over the tried and true to go with the trophy wife. The one they could train and show off to the world as “theirs,” who was the very image of everything they hope to project about themselves, regardless of the realities.

    “Community organizer” is a misnomer. These people actually derive their power from disorganization. When the community is happy, and doesn’t have any problems to face down, it has no need of such “leaders.” The so-called CO has a vested interest in making sure people are dissatisfied. That motivates them to band together and empower someone like an Obama, who self-servingly uses their discontent to further his own ambitions. “Community organizer” sounds so benign, positive even. “Rabble rouser”–not so much. But that’s a more accurate description of how these people operate.

  • so saddened

    the old fashioned term is “agitator.”

    naturally, obambi doesn’t use that term. too accurately describes what he did, and doesn’t sound so community-service-y.

  • so saddened

    have read that there are a whole LOT of phony voter registrations going on down in louisiana. about 70,000 so far. democratic. phony names, dogs, etc.

    that’s how oblowme plans to win. if you can’t win, cheat.

    do hope the repubs are on top of this. we know the dnc will encourage it, even if they publicly denounce it if it gets widely talked about.

  • so saddened

    that would be me, sugapea. and i fervently hope obambi and his supporters encounter the same shock i did.

    but obambi has a sophisticated cheat and con operation, which humphrey and mcgovern didn’t have back in the day. so obambi might win.

    heaven help us.

    that’s why this old hippie is so strongly urging people to vote repub. mccain is far superior to obambi.

    mccain would just be four years of pretty much nothing. obambi would be 8 years of destruction of democracy.

    I just was reading a site and followed the link, that Obama accepted 250,000 dollars from the Ku Klux Klan ! So this is the sort of people backing Obama ! Get a grip people. He’s bad news. Just imagine what other unscrupulous villains Barack has backing him? I believe Obama is the AntiChrist. Read the good book and it will show you that many people will follow him that normally wouldn’t. Either that,Obama must be using some good brain washing tactics or drugs to seduce so many people. I mean if he can seduce the KKK and black men are no wanting to join the KKK, which is normally a group of black haters..this is so messed up one cannot even rationalize it. He even has ole’ Hillary brainwashed, asking her voters to now vote for Obama. Wow! she spun a 360 just like that . Went from disgruntling remarks about him , to pure devotion. Tell me she isn’t brainwashed or just plumb dizzy? I won’t vote for Barack..he makes me want to Barackkkkk, as in throw up! Take that to the bank..you, Black Hilter, or whatever race you are.. I don’t think he even knows?

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    Hmmmmmmm*……got a link?

    Sounds as though it is a false smear.

    Does the KKK even have that kind of money?

  • Kinky Ogremann

    You think that writer is crazy? OMG! You’ve gotta listen to some of these nutjobs on the radio in San Francisco who call themselves “moderates” and who backed Bush! and is now backing Obama. Now realize, these same people believed every word Bush said about the war and WMD – and they all believe Obama is a messiah now. Serious lapse in judgment? You betcha – it’s just sad their signal goes throughout the entire west coast broadcasting everywhere here. And these are the liberals – neo-fascists more like it. You can get a taste (if you can stomach it) online as they stream live online.

    For some of you more articulate speakers – maybe you should call in and give them some enlightenment – who knows, maybe that kool-aid can be regurgitated?

    How is Obama supposed to save the world when he can’t even save his own party? lol

    But, in once sense I do agree with the satire that he’s a “light”worker. While Hillary was tossing aside boulders put in her path and doing all of the heavy work, the media was removing obstacles placed in his path leaving him only light work to do.

  • Northwest rain

    Hitler was marketed to the German people– much like Obama is being marketed now to the American people.

    The con that Obama is using is very old — lots of dictators and tyrants have used the same messiah/cult slick.

    “We are the ones you’ve been waiting for” — oh hell — where is the vomit bag?

    It is a HELL of a lot more dangerous if you happen to be female.

    We women learn to self censor ourselves — many places are just too dangerous for women.

    But Mrs.Obama is sexist as well as being a racist.

  • Northwest rain

    I’m surprised TM — the newest Obamabot hasn’t deleted this diary.

  • Northwest rain

    You’re right — when I first saw the title — “lightworker” — I assumed it was about Obama being so lazy. He was the editor of the Harvard law review but was too lazy to write an article for that publication. He was the member of a law firm but has no legal briefs in the public record.

    The only “record” he has are the books by he and his ghost writer. And these books are largely works of fiction.

    The “bills” Obama got passed as a State Senator turnout NOT to be written by Obama — but his name was added to pad his resume.

    So yes — I assumed that light worker was about how lazy Obama is.

    Michelle neglects to admit that Asians and Hispanics have a higher chance of getting killed at that gas station by Blacks than Obama does.

    It really is deceitful race-baiting, with little concern or mention of the murders committed by those of her own race.

    And it doesn’t “unite.” It DIVIDES.

    that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

    Oh boy! I had to get the high waders out. So Obama is going to help us evolve? To what? Beings that consider Wright’s rants music to our ears? People that believe Bill Ayers is right?

    This guy is seriously deluded.

    And I had so hoped to find some sort of connection between Barack Obama and Marilyn Manson. Bummer.

    This is not funny, it’s not just SF.

    Don’t underestimate this ‘stuff’, a lot of people
    are buying into it!

    HERE’S WHAT’S GOING AROUND THE METAPHYSICAL BLOGS:

    8. Attention is being given around the globe to the United States presidential candidates. Despite the rigged primary elections to favor Hillary Clinton and John McCain’s supporters waffling because he himself waffles, soon it will be glaringly apparent that Barack Obama’s greater popularity among voters will be sustained. Thus free will choices of the majority have been made and now, without influencing those choices one whit, we can reveal that in the energy field of potential, Obama’s momentum always was unstoppable, and we can tell you that this highly evolved soul with many lifetimes as a wise and just leader came from a spiritually and intellectually advanced civilization specifically to rise to his current prominence. At soul level he knows this is his mission, but consciously he is aware only of his innate leadership abilities and genuine intent to serve his nation as he so states; in time he will become consciously aware of his origin and purpose for embodying in this lifetime. Once he is in office, some darkly-intentioned persons expect to control him just as they and others before them have controlled a succession of US presidents and many members of Congress. However, that vicious kind of governing is at an end, and contrary to the protestations of Hillary Clinton that this race is not over, she and other top Illuminati know they are witnessing the demise of their “secret government”; therefore, the Obama family members are among the most intensely light-protected persons on Earth.

    9. While that election is of undeniable importance, foment leading to benevolent changes in other countries’ governments is of paramount significance too. The myriad reforms underway span the globe—WORLD transformation is what is occurring—and in time, every leader in every nation will be a lighted soul. The darkness that has deluged Earth and deluded her peoples from before your recorded history is behind the wars whose victors created national boundaries to enrich themselves. “One World Government” has a dreadful connotation, and rightly so because it is associated with the Illuminati’s plan to rule everyone on the planet that this cabal deems worthy of life, those who will serve their purposes, and eliminate all others. Not only has that plan been battered into oblivion with only maddened minds still clinging to a broken concept, but we assure you, you will greet with elation your world when borders and citizenship pale by comparison with the peaceful and harmonious cooperation agreed upon by all peoples everywhere.

    10. Congratulations are in order, and we joyously extend them to all whose minds and hearts are focusing on spiritual renewal and no longer dwelling on mundane matters. Yet we see as well that too many lightworkers still lapse into fear with each dire prediction or outright claim about various situations. Also many feel that as Earth keeps ascending into higher frequencies, they will be left behind because they haven’t discovered their “mission” in this unique time in the universe, or they greatly desire to communicate telepathically and this still eludes them. So I believe it will be helpful if I address these issues again.

    11. Surely all who are familiar with my messages or the books know the dark power of fear, so I won’t repeat that, but if you wish a reminder, there is a great deal of material that you can easily locate [use the search feature or the book/message index on

    ObamBI Learned this TECHNIQUE of talking like a preacher from Rev.Jeremiah Wright…..

    20 Years ObamBI WATCHED AND LISTENED to Rev.Wright.

    ObamBI was so entrenched and inspired by WHAT and HOW Rev.Wright Spoke— A WHOLE BOOK CAME OUT OF OBAMBI ……..

    And Just like the Church Leader….HE KNOWS HOW TO ASK YOU FOR THAT MONEY…….

    The Persons that are still giving money to this FOOL-ObamBI……are the ones who are empty in their Vessel– in turn— they are filling their vessels with the “same ol” B.S….which we all heard before (most having pathetic endings) from this FOOL-ObamBI…. and now his followers are trying to pass this Vessel FUll of B.S. to the sane…..

    Watch ObamBI talk……getting scarier and preachier…..( remember—-don’t feed your kids fried chicken in the morning—- if I was in the Audience there— I would have told him to shove it— but most in the Audience AGREED—- This is super sad part )

    Don’t need no Preacher in the White House…. REMEMBER FOLKS— This is a TECHNIQUE OBAMBI has PICK – UP from the Influence of Rev. Wright—he saw the results 1st hand–saw how the poor/desolute people responded….and as poor as they were— THEY WERE GIVING MONEY !!!!….

    All you fools that have donated to ObamBI— HAD BEEN HAD BY THE OLDEST GAME !!

    This quote says it all:

    I want a Chief Executive who has enough common sense to know that he should not enter into a real estate deal with a crook on the eve of running for President of the United States

    That’s a good point. Not only did Obama the crooked Chicago politician enter the deal with the crook, he did it after he left Chicago and became a U.S. Senator. Once one is corrupted by Chicago politics, one cannot leave the corrupt practices. What better proof of this can be other than Obama himself?

  • Pieter B

    My first thought when I read this piece by Morford was that it was satire, which is his stock in trade, but I read the whole thing and didn’t see the typical Morford zinger at the end. So, I took a look at his column from a week before, which mentioned Senator Clinton in the title, and found this gem.

    But with Obama, as with just about everything about his campaign, something feels different, more historic, deeper and more profound and even a bit more, how do you say, intimate. It is not politics as usual. It is not just another smart, deeply intelligent upstart senator making a surprising play for The Show. You have to take note. Because Obama has accomplished his astonishing rise without the normal weaponry of American politics. As of yet, there have been almost no dirty tricks. He has not really attacked Hillary, has not “gone negative” or run a nasty smear campaign or swiftboated her; he has not employed, in short, any of the disgusting tactics Karl Rove’s Republican party notoriously used against Al Gore and John Kerry so as to lie themselves into a brutal and failed chokehold of power.

    Darwin help us, I do believe the man is serious.

    I want a Chief Executive who has enough common sense to know that he should not enter into a real estate deal with a crook on the eve of running for President of the United States.

    Bingo. I may have to steal that for my sigfile.

    A belief commonly held by most of the Obama supporters I run across is that simply by electing this man president, the entire way that Washington works is going to change. Got news for you, folks: Oprah’s favorite book The Secret is not a political science text. Wishing will not make things so; it takes a lot of work to change a political structure.
