No. This is how some people REMEMBER his campaign, after all he false starts and embarrassing moments have been buried by his propagandists in the media.

Obama was blindsided by the uproar about Rev. Wright. Nothing could have been more predictable, but he did not see it coming. Then it took him weeks and one “historic” speech about race (now also forgotten) to settle on a response, then contradict himself by throwing Wright under the bus. He was saved by McCain´s bizarre decision to be silent about Wright and not turn him into an issue.

Clue me in to that statement, because it’s something I have yet to hear from the Daytime Chosen One’s mouth. (Then again, I don’t watch much daytime tv).

But to put things in perspective, when Whites historically used the N word, it was in verbal validation of the Blacks’ then current standing as “subhuman” and somehow “inferior” to proper Whites.

Not that it makes the Black use of the word any better. Such usage stems from a deeply rooted and pathological self-hatred. That is all.

You need to understand that Jackson (an unabashed leftist and postmodernist his whole adult life) and those like him WANT to believe that this is so, and cannot abide the notion that they have ever made a mistake in their lives. They will therefore a. cherry-pick those factoids which support the idea that their Messiah is awesome and cool and b. completely ignore the larger body of facts that show him to have been precipitous and incompetent in this whole affair.

For people like him and the rest of the NPR left, overwhelming consitent logic and facts aren’t necessary to create and bolster his ridiculous opinions, merely a few factoids and a few leftists with Farsi accents saying it is so.

8/Dave — Love the bit about the wind. Your words will wend their way through my prayers tonight.

35/Leo — Thanks. Read that aloud to the husband.

Though Murdoch’s no Jew
He still hates me and you

So I had to act like there’s a feud.”

With Obama’s new stylish cravat
And a look on his face quite distraught

He seemed so debonair
Like a young billionaire

Smoking Kools on the deck of his yacht.

As the diplomats scurried at State
To explain there’s no change or update

For the fix is still in
Today’s talk was just spin

For domestic consumption, old mate.

Excellent, Doug, excelent!

At this, Mr. Cool turned into Mr. Icy. “I don’t think that’s accurate. Track what I’ve been saying,” the president said. “We’ve been entirely consistent.”

And when another reporter asked if he was responding to the criticism of John McCain and other Republicans who implied he had been “weak and timid,” Obama said: “What do you think? I think John McCain has genuine passion about many of these international issues. Only I’m the president of the United States.”

So there. And when NBC’s Chuck Todd asked why he would not spell out the consequences for Iran if the rulers there did not clean up their act, Obama said, “I know everybody here is on a 24-hours news cycle. I am not.”

Wearing a tie that was an icy shade of lavender, Obama remained, as always, unflappable. Before the news conference, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said he was “almost debonair” in his manner. After the news conference, you could remove the “almost.”
(Leg tingling, no doubt)

Suckup Simon @ Politico

Why, that was just the peace dividend, dontcha know?

Besides – buying votes is hard work. Not to mention risky if the spigot ever gets turned off. (See other thread about French engineers and Paki expectations.)
