The former Barack Hussein Obama has earned about as much right to wear a Marine Corps T-shirt as Jimmy Carter has earned to stand anywhere in the vicinity of an American flag. Both harbor an unhealthy contempt for our country and seem to have an affinity for terrorists, dictators and other anti-Americans.
If there were previous concerns about Obama’s early Muslim influences, they fade to black in comparison with recent revelations about this unproven and still largely unknown persona. Barack Obama is a racist who is not only anti-White but looks down upon the working people of America deriding those who, in fact, have always been its backbone. He and Ms. Barack have made their un-American and racial biases quite clear during the past few months. Twenty years of sitting in a pew and not listening to the venom pouring from their Pastor’s political pulpit have likely served to strengthen rather than straighten their distorted perspectives. I find it interesting that it was the semi-black candidate who introduced race into the campaign…not the public or his opposition. Could it all be a diversion from a policy account bankrupt of any real ideas?
On the stump, Barryspeak can sound slick as a snake’s belly when its origin is a tele-prompter…but asked direct questions about issues of substance, he begins to whine and his complaining quickly morphs the soaring rhetoric into Barry mis-speak. He then has the audacity to try glossing over his errant utterances instead of taking responsibility for them. Sorry “bitter” masses clutching your bibles and shotguns, he is not the “second coming” but is, in the end, just a typical politician who says whatever he must. His mentor, the firey phony Reverend Wright, made that abundantly clear during an NPR interview with Bill Moyers. When asked about Barack’s comments during the recent Philadelphia speech he swiftly dispatched Obama from his pedestal above the fray with a single swipe of the tongue. Wright said he is obligated to speak as a pastor, but Obama addresses audiences as a politician.
“He’s a politician, I’m a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two different worlds. I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as a politician.”
Oops. He called Barry the ‘P’ word! As to Obama’s small town put down, he’s right about one thing. The people to which he refers who I know [or heard make comment] are indeed bitter. They are bitter about too much government interference in their lives, not too little; bitter about having to give up too much of their pay to “people who don’t know a hard day’s work.” Religion, exercise of their Second Amendment rights and a general distrust of outsiders were there “long before any Chi-town political hack decided he didn’t like how we live.” Along with his Pastor’s despicable comments, I believe many of Bama’s own words, questionable relationships and the hateful remarks of Michelle ‘Ma’ Belle’ will return to haunt him during the general election, should he actually get there without a career-ending gaff. If you look closely, his real competition isn’t the Clintons or even John McCain but himself. He’s preaching problems, not solutions. It’s the hallmark of a follower who finds himself too far out in front of the pack.
So far, we’ve survived more than a quarter century of the inept Jimmy Carter and his anti-American antics. The question is, can our nation endure even four years of racists, bigots, terrorists and Socialists in the White House? Let’s not find out.

A Matter Of Judgment
He likes Obama because he’s a good communicator and ignores everything else that might imperil this belief. That’s about as one-dimensional as women in the 90’s who voted for Bill Clinton “because he’s cute”. In both instances it’s a dangerously miopic way to look at a candidate for the highest office in the land and part of the reason our ’ship of state’ is closing rapidly on a shallow reef. As I’ve said before, to my ear Barry-O is a dime store preacher; a snake oil salesman who scrambles onto his soap box and gives the crowd a highly animated show, all the while saying, basically, nothing. Whenever he dismounts to grace us with a bit of substance, he frequently plunges his foot so deeply into his mouth he could perform a tonsillectomy with his big toe. Evidence his comment about children being a “punishment” rather than seeing them as a blessing or, at worst, an unplanned consequence for a pair of overly glandular people. Of course, my good friend was unaware of that remark and, even though he worships at the altar of precise language, saw no difference between the concepts of punishment and consequence. It’s a wonder he doesn’t suffer from a cement phobia because he thought he was being punished every time he tripped and fell as a kid, instead of understanding it was simply the consequence of running too carelessly. Bad sidewalk!
After public disclosure of his Pastor’s tirades at The Church of What’s Happenin’ Now and Barry’s other unsavory relationships…like most Liberals, Progressives, Centrists, Moderates, Independents or whatever handle they’ll actually admit to…my friend thought the diversionary speech he delivered was brilliant and inspiring.
The talk from the mountain top offered by Barack Hussein Obama was supposed to be an explanation of his association with several nefarious characters, including The Wrong Reverend Wright. It was, also, supposed to distance him from these thugs. A few [who must have heard a different speech than the rest of us] hailed it as “Lincolnesque”, more historic than King’s “I Have A Dream” speech and comparable to the rhetoric of John F. Kennedy. It was none of these things. What it was, was an exercise in finger pointing instead of an explanation. It was a one-sided history of race relations according to Obama instead of his announcement of an end to these more than questionable relationships.
At the end of the day, the hateful statements of his ’spiritual advisors’ and his friendship with vermin like Louis Farrakhan, Tony Rezko and William Ayers really don’t matter. What does matter is that defense of them demonstrates the consistently bad judgment of Barack Obama. His current inaction, and failure to abandon these associations a long time ago, indicate flawed decision making ability and a frightening perspective of right and wrong, good and evil. After 20 years, if he really didn’t know about the despicable belief systems of these people, he has other problems that surpass even his poor judgment. None of these are qualities America can afford to have in a President or even in a Junior Senator.
If those who voted for Barry-O in the primaries had a second chance I wonder if they would continue to listen with a deaf ear, like my close, misguided friend…or would better judgment prevail and lead them to demand a quality candidate who represents their beliefs instead of promoting his own agenda? Only time may give us the answer.
