Whatever Happened To The Politics Of Hope?

Barack Obama wants to have it both ways: Attack his political opponents while claiming to be a "different" kind of politician. How can that be when he has sunk to new lows by whining and complaining and using his vast resources to air ads that are quite nasty. He claims that Hillary Clinton is at fault: "She started it". What is he, a 2 year old? He has more money, more ads, more mail pieces, and he blames her for the negativity? C'mon.

Obama is nothing more than a dirty, old style Chicago politician. He talked about it in New Hampshire as I recall, and has been getting away with it. He successfully "painted" the Clintons as racists in South Carolina and took the black vote away. Then he branded Geraldine Ferraro a racist and again took the high ground. The media neglects to mention the memo in which his campaign outlined how they would use the race card to their advantage.

The man is finally being seen for the phony is suspected he was. He is nothing more than an ambitious, opportunistic, arrogant, unqualified, naive, power hungry, out -of -touch politician who cares nothing about these people. They have been blinded by the shine that has finally worn off. Only the very young is apparently still mesmerized by his snake oil salesman like presentation because they don't seem to want or care about substance or specifics.

Obama is shooting himself in the foot yet again. This weekend he said that "either Democrat would be better than John McCain, and all three of us would be better than George Bush." Wow, what a dope! Obama's campaign has been painting McCain as Bush 3; a big blunder that undercuts his point that McCain would be a continuation of Bush. I though Hillary made a mistake by saying in the debate that Obama was electable. She had said McCain had passed "the commander in chief threshold" whereas Obama had not, a slight referencing Obama's inexperience. However, we learned that in addition to saying people were "bitter" and "clinging" to their religions as a way to express their frustrations, Obama made remarks that he was more qualified than Clinton and McCain In foreign policy affairs because he went to Pakistan once when he was in college and he lived in Indonesia when he was a child. Really? Are you kidding me?
