BITTER SUITE
How
quickly things change in Obamaland. It seems like only yesterday he
was claiming over and over that his words DO matter. Now he is saying that
either we misunderstood what he said or that he didn’t choose the right
words.
Bush needed translators
to explain what his words were and the media complied; now BO, who seemingly
cannot use the words to say what he means, needs the media to translate
what words he meant to say.
It appeared for
a while there that voters who were fed up with nearly 8 years of the malapropos
and fractured syntax of Bush were opting for clarity. They thought BO
spoke so clearly when he said things like "Change" -- "Yes
we can", and all his other oft repeated slogans. Then it happened.
Bit by bit the façade
of sainthood got peeled off and most of it came from his own mouth. Recently
he hit a gaffe trifecta. Commenting on abortion: "The mistake that
pro-choice forces have sometimes made in the past, and this is a generalization
so it has not always been the case, has been to not acknowledge the wrenching
moral issues involved in it." Oops! UNTRUE. http://www.correntewire.com/obama_abortion_is_never_a_good_thing#comment-80473
Second, there
was his comment on "typical white people" as he claimed that
all whites are racists, seeking to force voters to examine their guilt
at the slavery in America’s past.
And thirdly, and
most recent, he embellished his white racist remarks by denigrating Pennsylvania’s
working class by saying: "And it's not surprising then they get bitter,
they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them
or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain
their frustrations."
Sounds a bit Karl
Marxie to us: "Die Religion... ist das Opium des Volkes."
We never trusted
BO's words from the beginning. He came across as a package all wrapped
up and no one was allowed to see what was inside. When attempts were made
to peel back the layers of the mask, they were met by charges of “racism”
-- and the media pounced -- not on BO but on anyone who pointed a finger
at what he had done in the past.
Now his own words
are tearing back the layers of his past actions and his mask is coming
off. The mean-steam-media is rushing in to wrap him up again led by
Arianna Huffington who tells you it is all HRC's fault.
We must not let
them lead us astray because there is still so much to learn about this
man that the media and the DNC demand that we nominate. More gates in his
past besides these:
R E Z K O gate,
B I T T E R gate,
Rev W R I G H T
gate,
AYERS gate,
F A R A K H A N
gate.
Nearly a year ago,
Martha Zollar wrote about how he stretched the truth and misrepresented
facts, ending her piece by paraphrasing former Texas Governor, Ann Richards:
"Poor, Obama -- he can help it, he's got a silver foot in his mouth."

And just recently,
Kentucky Representative Geoff Davis, told of a “highly classified, national
security simulation” that he attended with Obama. “He could not make a
decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country,”
he warned.
Former Congressman
(TX) Dick Armey is sure BO will win the Primary. He said, "Because
the Democrats choose their least qualified person."
As for HRC, there
is a very interesting piece in Politico 4/13/08 by John F. Harris
and Jim VandeHei titled: What Clinton wishes she could say. Politico
has been a harsh critic of Clinton in the past. Judge for yourselves.
HRC cleaned BO's
clock in the debate this week in Philly and how the mean-stream media howled
in anger. We especially enjoyed Keith Olbermann's rants because the Precious
One was getting tough questions -- remember how he thought it was just
great when Russet went after HRC.
