Barack is an inkblot-You see what you want to see!We know John McCain and Hillary. We generally know what they believe and stand for. Barack is a blank slate, an inkblot, where for the past year, people have seen "hope" and "change" in the way the ink has spread across his very empty resume. Barack is attempting to define himself merely by speaking with his charismatic charm and with little substance. When he does venture into substantive issues, he stumbles and falters. e.g. negotiating with Iran/Syria/North Korea. Which is why he won't tackle big issues without real trepidation for how it will play with the voters. Today on Meet the Press, he stupidly admitted that he didn't take the advice of political consultants, and pulled the band-aid off fast on the Wright problem. Back pedaling as much as possible, now we learn that on this one very important issue, he has changed his position 3 and even 4 times. (Yes, Barack admits its a real issue that Americans rightly questioned.) Last year, he dis-invited Wright to give the invocation to his formal announcement to be president. Why? Because, according to Meet The Press, Wright's sermons were too controversial. Not that they were wrong, just controversial. Then came his Philadelphia speech where Wright was an Uncle and Mentor that he could never disown anymore than he could his typically racist white grandmother, or his own black community. But today, on Meet the Press, he completely disavowed the man, and said if he remained a pastor at this church, he would leave it. So in the course of just a few weeks, Barack has again demonstrated something we didn't know about him. We learned that unlike his speeches, in which he claims to be a new voice that is much different than the normal Washington politicians, he is instead just an empty slate whose never been vetted. He's been given an affirmative action pass, by the media for the last year, so that he could appear "new", "different", and "inspirational". He was given this pass, because he was black, and considered a long shot. They gambled that he would become another Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, so they kept their hands off out of fear of reprisals from the black voters retaliating and staying home in November. (The black talk show hosts call it the Black Rain on McCain election, should Barack not get the nomination.) Only after the primaries started coming did the affirmative action votes start being counted, and oh boy, did that shock the Democrats. Now its too late to do anything about it. Buyer's remorse is way too late, but Hillary's ambition is too big for her to give in. She has to fight in hope against hope that some other news might come out that puts her into the nomination. (Or help springboard her to 2012, should Barack lose in November, which exactly what her pollsters are telling her.) You libs attack Denise and others for attempting to figure out this very empty black board, (I'm so racially insensitive), since he has no legislative history whatsoever by which to judge him adequately. Therefore, we must look at those persons he has chosen to associate with as one means to figure out what makes him tick; what are his core principles; how did he develop his ideas and ideals about what direction America should be governed? And those associates are not that attractive, which is why he is now running as fast as he can away from them. He associated with a Marxist called Frank, a racist called Wright, an avowed terrorist called Ayers, a political ally and criminal called Rezko, and a wife too damn stupid to have any pride in America, until her husband is running for President. I've said it before, and I'll say it till I'm blue in the face. I can tell more about a man by the company he chooses to keep than by any other single thing. Barack has kept the company of avowed Marxists, racists, and loathsome people. They have, and will continue to influence him, should he become our President. Your attempts to smear the messenger instead of defending the facts and logic of this analysis speaks volumes to your biases and fears. You would obviously argue the facts, should they support your position, but you instead attack the messenger, Denise, because you can't defend these logical assumptions about how Americans can and must figure out who the hell Obama really is. Barack is an inkblot. For the past year, people only saw those qualities that they wanted to see in that inkblot, i.e. hope and change, which played very well for Barack. But now, the image is getting more clear, and we see that the inkblot is more of a picture, painted by the hands of many different artists, all of whom helped shape the final picture, and this rightfully disturbs us. To know that Marxists, and racists, and terrorists, have helped paint the inkblot that we now call Barack Obama, causes us to wonder what it all means. Richard Hobbs's blog | login to post comments |
