Obama will be playing the race card - for the campaign and beyond

We already know that Obama's campaign is going to be breaking out with the race card. A Washington Post story says that:

Doors have been slammed in their faces. They've been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they've endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can't fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president.
We now know that any opposition to Obama is simply, a distraction. Like that bothersome Jeremiah Wright thing. Right wing conspiracy, that was. Or his far-left voting record. Oh, don't call him a liberal. Can't do that now. That's an evil label. Can't call him by his middle name. That's divisive.

Here are the Obama rules in detail: He can't be called a "liberal" ("the same names and labels they pin on everyone," as Obama puts it); his toughness on the war on terror can't be questioned ("attempts to play on our fears"); his extreme positions on social issues can't be exposed ("the same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives" and "turn us against each other"); and his Chicago background too is off-limits ("pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy"). Besides that, it should be a freewheeling and spirited campaign.
Read the rest here.

Imagine this inexperienced looney burger who has the support of terrorist organization Hamas as your president. Not only is every bit of opposition to his wrong-headed policies to be painted as pure racism, but he loves to snuggle with our Islamofacist buddies aiming to destroy us.
"It's conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, 'This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,'" Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.
Read the rest here. I remember telling someone that I was dating that you are the company you keep. She hung out with a lot of lowbrow, unintelligent folks. So even though she had some book smarts, she was dragged down by her idiotic friend group.

Just like Barak is dragged down by the company he keeps. According to Barak, Israel is a "constant sore."

JG: Do you think that Israel is a drag on America’s reputation overseas?

BO: No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy.
Read the rest here.

And yet he brings change? You need to ask yourself, is this the kind of change I want? Much higher taxes. Much higher oil prices, thanks to that idiotic windfall profits tax our friend Obama proposes, which ignores every bit of economic wisdom in favor of Pollyanna, illogical, pie-in-the-sky, feel-good, wealth-envious, socialist pap. Much more government regulation, which chokes the free market, which socialists like Obama hate anyway.
