As our nation’s finances sink into an abyss after 8 disastrous years of Bush rule, do you really characterize these years as one of “stupendous prosperity”? And do you really think the debacle in Iraq is one of those American “victories” the Left will never forgive? If an Obama presidency can make sure that these sins are not repeated, then we will have a lot to be thankful for.

“[Sen. Obama] is a reprise of 1960s radicalism, burnished by a Harvard education, underwritten by the simmering resentments of an anti-democratic elite that never recovered from the shock of Ronald Reagan, the end of the Soviet Union, and the stupendous, historically unprecedented, prosperity of the last two decades. They will not easily forgive America for those victories, and an Obama presidency would make sure they were not repeated.”

In other words he’s George Soro’s dream candidate.

Absolutely, Mr. Kimball. Obama’s resume qualifies him to be a junior attorney in the civil division of the Dept of Justice while he pens another book about himself. His strongest talents consist of that ability to ingratiate himself with the (IMHO reactionary) liberal-left and the Presidium-like Chicago political machine. I grew up in the south side of Chicago and never for a second bit on Obama’s claim to transcend race and partisan politics. In Chicago, nobody transcends squat.

It’s noteworthy that this campaign rarely touches on the larger issues of National Security. Lots of babble about diplomatic solutions, negotiations, repairing alliances, etc. and damn all about what the actual methods, much less the goals, of these activies should be.
