Obamamania



Barack




Historic Election


This is going to be one of the most fascinating presidential races in U.S. history. For the first time in 80 years there is no one running who was a Vice President or President, and the field is wide open. It is open in this way, and in every other way. This race will be multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-gender, and multi-religious.







There is the first Hispanic running. The first Black with a real chance of winning. The first female with a real chance of winning. A Mormon. True liberals, and true conservatives, and those in-between.

All this in the middle of an unpopular war that will determine the fate of mankind, let alone of this country. The United States is on the brink of turning into a socialist country too, worried so much about global warming and other manufactured issues and myths that the far left has a real chance of taking over the country. It is even rumored that a sleeper candidate could announce at any time now, and instantly overtake the whole crowd, Mr. Al "Inconvenient Truth" Gore, father of all demagogues.


Obama and Other Great Speakers


I watched, as many of you did too, Barack Obama's declaration of candidacy in Springfield, Illinois, where Lincoln once announced his candidacy too. Though I am, as you know, a conservative on many issues, a libertarian on others, a liberal on some, and on a few issues a libertine; with the nomer neo-con being the closest philosophy to my heart—I was enthralled with Barack's speech and delivery. To me, it was electrifying, and it sent chills down my back. Finally, a politician who can deliver a great speech.

I haven't seen this in my lifetime since John F. Kennedy. Yes, you're right, Bill Clinton could do it too, but Clinton was so much a demagogue in my eyes that the words did not chill my backbone, they chilled my heart. Other great speakers of the 20th and 21st century were Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler (a great spokesperson for evil), Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan. Barrack is not in their league, none of them. But he stands head and shoulders over the rest of the current pack. Compare him with Hillary and she comes off as shrill, marmish, with a pinched face, anger in her heart, and with a stick up her rear.

Articulosity


Plus, he is ARTICULATE. There, I've said it. The African-American community is all a twitter about Biden and now Bush calling Barack this nasty word. It demeans, they think, all African-Americans. That's how far political correctness has come, my friends. We can't even compliment Blacks now without being called racists. Well, I do understand the concern. After all, the implication is that this Black is articulate, which is surprising—after all, there are very few articulate African-Americans. Ouch.

So, let me clarify for all of you, and for my dear African-American friends. It is not surprising to me that we've discovered an articulate Black. There are many well-spoken African-Americans. When I say that Barack Obama is articulate, I don't mean to compare him with other Blacks. I mean to say that this guy is A R T I C U L A T E period. He is articulate compared to all races, to all White folks, to all humans. The guy can speak. He can communicate. He is bright, insightful, and his words flow easily and with passion.

I'm not surprised that we have found an articulate Black. I'm surprised that we've found an articulate politician. They are rare these days. You don't have to just think of the anti-articulate Bush. Just think of Hillary. Compared to her husband Bill, she's autistic. Like I say, Barack is not in the same league as Martin Luther King or John F. Kennedy, but he's a person that can mesmerize a crowd.


Othello versus Lady Macbeth


I also sense in him that he has a kind of goodness. He does have the fire in the belly that a presidential candidate needs, but I don't sense he has any lizard-like go-for-the-throat coldness that Hillary has, thank God. Hillary would slash the jugular of her child to become President. Barack would try to find another way. He truly believes, it appears, in his mission of goodness. Barack is Othello, misguided into liberalism, but with a good heart. Hillary is our Lady Macbeth, plotting for political power regardless of casualties like the truth.

What to Do With Barack?

Talent Wasted on Liberalism

Alas, Barack is an idiot by default, by my definition. He's a liberal.

Left of Center But Less Of a Demagogue

I could love this man, almost. It's a crying shame he's on the wrong side. It's disastrous that he really is a bleeding heart liberal with a soak the rich, class warfare, socialist, anti-military, multi-cultural mushy mushy heart and head. He is all this, believe me. Just examine his voting record. He's a liberal to the bone. The enemy. Yet, my deepest antipathy for the left is reserved for demagogues, and I get the feeling that he is less of a demagogue than the rest of them. He truly believes in his liberal nonsense.

What do I do with him? He will be president one day, or vice president, or hold some other high office beyond Senator.

I don't know what to do with him. I rest assured, though, that he sounds like a reasonable idiot. He seems practical. He won't totally destroy the country, it appears, like Hillary would. So, my decision for now is to thank God that He has sent us an attractive liberal who could break down racial barriers and add a bit of honor and character to the dismal crowd of leftists inhabiting the Democratic Party.

Amen.


Advice for the Republican Party


As for the Republicans, the only way that you can beat a ticket with Obama on it, would be for you to nominate a Giuliani/McCain ticket, or, better yet, a Giuliani/Condoleeza Rice ticket. Or, make sure that if Hillary is the nominee, that you contrast this female crocodile with the sweet brilliance of her charismatic running mate. Ensure that the country sees Hillary for what is in her arctic heart. If the people look past Hillary and concentrate more on Obama, then you, conservatives, are in trouble.

  1. I am just visiting your site and thought you would be interested in a politically incorrect site called ourcountry.com.

  2. I'm calling the NAACP on you. ARTICULATE?!?! I get what you're saying, but you do understand at the very least WHY someone calling Obama articulate could be taken offensively. Good for you my man. My only (yeah- ONLY) complaint with this post here is that you forgot to compare him to the president- a man who is probably the most IN-articulate president in recent memory. Bleeding heart and all, I have a feeling Obama's gonna give Hillary a run for her money. The more exposure he gets, the more likely it is that she'll be playing second fiddle. What did you think about the Australian PM's comments? I'm just wondering what his true motivations are...

  3. Paz, thanks for your comments. I did in fact mention Bush as inarticulate in the piece. You must have missed it.

    I agree with the Australian Prime Minister. This is Barack's only "dangerous" position, I believe. He is like all the Democrats on this issue at this time. They don't realize how important it is to win in Iraq. Still, if a Dem has to win, I'd rather have Barack, as I feel he might use common sense once he gets in office.

  4. I found your "anti-articulate Bush" comment the second time around. It was buried deep, but there none-the-less. I agree that Obama's position on Iraq may be a "flaw" from the conservative perspective, but it's a huge strength from the liberal perspective, I'm sure. Although it's important to "win" in Iraq, it's apparent that the current guy has been doing a poor job "winning"- regardless of what the folks in the administration say. I have a feeling that Obama's "bring 'em home" mantra will either be what gets him into office, or keep him out of it.

  5. Paz, good comments as usual. It's interesting that you support Obama. I had heard he was having a small bit of trouble getting solid Black support. I hope he does get it, because he does seem a worthy guy. Good luck to him no matter how well he does.

  6. Interesting site. I discussed Obama too in my blog (www.bizplusblog.com). I think he is an old time liberal trying to survive in the 21st. Once people get through the rhetoric, I think he will be history.

  7. want my take on it rock? sigh...

    dems:
    bama: too young, too inexperienced

    biden: talks out of both his mouths

    edwards: close but no cigar

    hillary: sadly she is the chosen one, fat ankles and all...

    reps:
    guliani: never gonna get it, with that mistress in the past and the pro choice stance (but IF by some miracle he DID get the nomination, i think HE could beat hillary)

    mccain: washed up, couldn't beat hillary

    mitt: that whole mormon thing, i don't know but i like him so far

    newt: wonderful historian, totally unelectable though..

    condi: just wants football sadly...

    just my two cents...

    smiles, bee

  8. WISH LIST; Dream team.

    CONDI WITH NEWT, (1st Black, 1st woman, super intellects, up to the job.

    Doubt that Newt would be chosen by Condi, and if so doubt that he would accept.

    Potential disaster: Any democrat. No one with the will to fight for what is right.

    One exception: Lieberman, did you hear the buzz McCain/Lieberman

  10. Apparently some black people think that Barack doesn't know the true black experience since he has an African father and a white mother. That ignores the fact that none of the white candidates would know more about the black experience and simply be being black in the US you're gonna get it. Even at the fancy schools. Maybe more so at the fancy school. Not to mention that he still lives on the South Side of Chicago. Can’t get much blacker. BTW you talked about his power of oration vs. his being articulate. Therefore, no NAACP.
