Obama comes out swinging...

Joe, I knew it was bad ... I didn't realize it was THAT bad even now. Wow, that's terrible.

 

And Fox News, which obviously never read Obama's "Dreams From My Father." His book spells out his background and should be required reading for every voter.

 

Bob Somerby has been tracking all this on the dailyhowler.com, sure its liberal and Somerby was one of Gore's roommates in college, but I think it is a good read and he provides some rather rich detail when you actually look at what is said on some of the talk shows and in print for the nation's two most important papers for political coverage. Those being the NYTimes and the WashPost.
This is what he had to say about Kornblut after a recent article on a Hillary campaign stop...

 

Not taking political sides here, but reacting more as a writer, I loved Obama's use of the word "scurrilous" to describe the reports.
Great word.
Very descriptive, accurate and active.

 

With some people, all FOX has to do is throw out the lies, and they lap them up.

This morning, I was at an appointment. It was my first time to see a new physical therapist. So I'm waiting at the desk...and the therapist's talking loudly across the room to one of his assistants:

"Yeah, Obama, or whatever his name is, is in trouble. They found out something about his background...something Muslim. The liberals are doing spin control now, but it's too late...(chuckles)"

I got up and left. I'm not going to let anyone that fucking retarded (not to mention unprofessional) get involved with my health care.

I HATE the part of the country where I live. Fortunately, I'm getting transferred this spring...

 

So your physical therapist is, in fact, what is the matter with Kansas?

 

You can bet Willie the Wildcat's purple ass on that. Somehow, with these people, Christianity=Republicanism=Believing Everything on Fox.
Christianity=Republicanism is stupid enough, but for cryin' out loud, there are plently of Republicans who don't hold a high opinion of Fox.

 

Unfortunately, most of them moved to the background the day the SC handed the presidency to W.

But yeah, I'm not that far from you, and we have some of the same people out here.

 

His book should be required reading for the sole reason that his sole qualification for office is his upbringing. He has shown no inclination for policy inovation, nor has shown any success in moving other people's policies.

He's an effective speech maker partly because of the racist nature of the country. A black man who speaks clearly is deemed to an intellectual,as per liberal guilt and racism.

It sure would be interesting that the first African America male in America to be on a National Presidential ticket, is not a decendant of American slavery, but the son of a recent African immigrant.

 

People aren't going to vote for McCain, because he's hardass right, and we've endured quite enough public stupidity from such wankers in the past six years, thanks.

 

I hope you're simply forgetting the new blue sarcasm font, yab.

He is an effective speechmaker, full stop.

 

No, I know how to use the sarcasm font. The bar on rhetorical and oratory skills are so low these days that anyone that doesn't sound like a Bush sounds good. I'm also so cynical that I do not believe that any words uttered by a politician in any public setting are her or his own, but that of a staff of writers. Can Obama can deliver a speech? Yes and it's effective because of who he is or is supposed to be. The substance of what a politic an says is the responsibility of the politician, and I still fail to grasp Obama's substance. Clinton's I believe I know, she is as far left as she can be while still feigning right on enough aspects of some issues that she has plausible deniability on being a 60's lefty.
