Quote from smilingsynic:
How about this, regarding Obama:
"You don't get it. Obama WILL NEVER "cut" spending.
He is the catalyst of America going full blast Socialist.
The old, sick, poor, black and brown all want your money, gringo/honky."
Your words, right?
Absolutely my words.
In fact here's my letter today to the Chicago Tribune:
"Forget for a moment the names Wright, Rezko and Ayers. Let's ignore distractions like lack of experience, flag pins and bitter. After all to a slight majority of primary voters Obama's questionable relationships and gaffes are unimportant. When a politician of color is heralded as this generations great uniter why quibble over relatively unimportant flaws? The question remains though, what has Barrack Obama accomplished as either a legislator or community activist that makes him qualified to
be President?
As Obama stumps across the country carrying his message of âchangeâ we see nary a footprint of betterment in any of his previous arenas. Obama's recent score at a Pennsylvania bowling alley just about equals the number of African-Americans and Latinos who are shot in a typical week of Chicago violence. Just this year-the year of Obamamania- 25 Chicago school children have been murdered in gang shootings. While the man who would be king ignores his core constituency, his adopted city
burns. If Chicago minorities, those who should be the most excited about Obama's Quixote quest for global leadership can't lay down their prohibited handguns, then what are Obama's credentials for disarming rogue nuclear nations? Wouldn't an Obama led anti-violence initiative in Chicago be more beneficial to race relations than last months insipid throw grandmother under the bus speech?
Obama's legislative career is just as spotty. Democrats in Springfield enjoyed a veto proof majority throughout Obamas tenure as state Senator yet Illinois remains mired in budget shortfalls, high taxes and rising unemployment. Would any sane Illinois voter give the Illinois legislature anything other than
a failing grade for their fiscally destructive policies over the past decade? Obama left Springfield like a rat on a sinking ship. Instead of providing solutions he left town for the next big thing.
Obama's lack of record in the U.S. Senate is similar. He's a member of the majority Party yet he's failed to introduce a single peice of legislation concerning any of his pet issues including Iraq and NAFTA. Other than being a hard working perma-campaigner, Obama seemingly has little stomach for the nuts and bolts of crafting âchangeâ through the legislative process.
The vetting by the media of Obama has been vastly incomplete, mired by inane references to race and his opponents gender. Meanwhile we see newspapers and politicians endorse a man they hardly know for the worlds single most important job. As a Republican I'm excited about John McCains opportunity to campaign against Obamas obvious shortcomings. The electoral process though would be better served to see some of these pertinent criticisms addressed in mainstream publications prior to the Democrat's being saddled with such an ultimately flawed candidate."
