Of all people, I never thought I’d agree with Bill Clinton but each day it becomes clearer that he was right about Barack Obama’s true nature: Obama has the instincts of a thug. He doesn’t win elections. He has no qualifications to do that. In typical, Chicago political fashion he merely clears the playing field of the competition. That’s how he became a Senator; he plays dirty.
Name calling and sarcasm are usually best left with kids in the schoolyard but if the playground bully wants to take it to the street, hey, I used to be a kid and even then I didn’t like guys who beat up girls!
By any other name, abuse is still abuse. Whether physical or verbal, it is inexcusable and unforgivable…and South Side Barry just crossed the line. Using Sarah Palin’s joke at the RNC as a reference, his exact words were, “You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig.” Clearly aiming such a statement at the Republican V.P. candidate is just one “innocent” remark too many. His technique is to plunge a carefully calculated dagger into his victim one day, then smooth it over with a tissue of lies the next.
Obama’s “clarification” style lends itself more to a nightclub, with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, than it does the Oval Office with both hands on the future of our country. Now he’s playing bigger rooms like The Letterman Show and Saturday Night Live. It seems his “anointed preacher” persona is evolving into something closer to a Chris Rock comedy routine. Sorry Chris.
Demeaning Sarah Palin didn’t seem to do it for him so he dissed John McCain with, “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.” Obama has also dispatched some 30 or so hounds to Alaska with a fist full of dollars to dig up any dirt they can either find or fabricate. You may be sure they’re not looking for gold. Their focus will, no doubt, be the kind of smear campaign used against Jack Ryan, Barack’s Senate opponent back in Illinois. It seems you can take the boy out of The South Side but you can’t take….well-l-l, you know how it goes.
Not to be out slimed, Joe Biden took to politicizing Sarah’s four month old son. Calling to mind the infant’s difficult birth condition, Biden questioned why Governor Palin isn’t in favor of embryonic stem cell research. He was apparently unaware that embryonic stem cells are no longer needed.
It’s comforting to know that they both still have careers ahead of them should they lose the election in November - South Side Barry as a stand-up comic and Old Joe B. as a pin setter at the local bowling alley. Oh, that’s right…they don’t need pin setters anymore either. Do you suppose he might want to consider the job opening in Alaska?
