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.

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.

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.
