Thread: "Change We Can Believe In" Is Gibberish

I know it is rarely mentioned anywhere but it seems servicemen who were presented with gallantry awards by him remarked on his sense of humour, which came as a surprise to them.

Yeah, well, on the other side of the wall next to me right now is a museum dedicated to him, and my school is named after him, so he's kind of my homie.

Even by the lower-than-a-snakes-belly-in-death-valley standard of most anti-Obama hit jobs this is particularly sad. So his campaign theme is empty rhetoric - welcome to the 19th century. This could have been used to open up a broader discussion of political rhetoric, the impact of hollow words or empty promises on the body politic. That, however, would have involved an admission that Obama is just doing what everyone else does, but slightly better than his opponent.

"Oh but this guy is lower than even the lower of the lowest, this time the sky is falling faster" - I think I already commented, that dodgy hit jobs will likely result in a backfire from those that undertake them. Thats what makes it fun, the dodgy hit jobs are things that people are far more used to now than in the past.

I think the point maybe that Obama hasn't got much of a record, if he had one, like every other politician it would be full of pork.

Best not for him to stay around too long before it does come full of political pork. Thats got some pulling power in itself - hence a bit more electable.

It's actually humerous, did we just go from Obama to Hitler in the course of a few posts? Ah gives me a chuckle, If Obama made a parody of all the things he's been called, and posted it on you tube, dressed in a pink skirt, with a turban, holding an AK-47, walking past pictures of Saddam Hussein propoganda everywhere living in a tree with swasstikkas carved into it, it would be hillarious.

I can imagine it now "Hi Im Hussein, lesser known as Barrack Obama, you may not recognise me as an american politician because I don't wear a flag lapel pin 24/7. You might have heard of me from the GOP, I'm a tree hugging hippy from liberal illanois, I once trained with the Indonesian wing of JI, at 4 years of age I planned and executed a hostage taking. My new goal is to tax you out of existence, and in your place I will plant trees ... yes, trees like this one im living in at the moment. My wife, she's always hated America, and each sunday after she picks up the acorns for our kids to eat, we visit our Anti American pastor and openly preach that the American Government is responsible for Aids. If you agree that Iran taking over the middle is a good idea, and in taxing the air you breath, vote Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, and remember, clinging to guns and religeon is bad, especially if your white & havn't snorted one line of good coke yet"

Obama will not win. He is a Black and his attitude is pro poor.

And his middle name is Hussein!

It is against the ethos of the US. They rather not eat than have any socialism shoved in!

A muddle headed, status quo not daring to change white is a better choice!

Well dang. Now you've got me in a fix. I don't want Obama to win, mainly because I don't like smooth tongued demagogues with no substance, especially liberal ones. On the other hand, I desperately want to be able to point my finger and say "I told you so!" to everybody who claims that Obama can't win because of race. I'm tempted to vote for him, just to prove all the naysayers wrong.

I mean, at the absolute worst, Iraq turns into Somalia writ large, we get a nice little recession, and maybe we do a few stupid little "interventions" to make Obama look good on defence. Oh, and we get a two or three oligarchy minded justices on the Supreme Court too. Is that so bad?

There's a theory out there by some in the conservative circle to vote for Obama. The logic is to really break this country so we can get a true conservative in the white house in 2012 to fix it. They point to 1976 Carter win that ushered in Reagon in 1980. Maybe we need Obama in 2008 to show the American people how bad socialism is so we can get back on the right track.

The problem I see in that is we don't have a conservative ready to take the mantle like Reagon in 1976.
