Obama: Merely Changing the Subject

Investor's Business Daily understands that Obama is merely changing the subject:

But Obama's recent troubles, which this much-hyped speech was supposed to put past him, are not about race relations. They're about one churchman who happens to be black, whose views from the pulpit are repugnant and from whom Obama doesn't seem to have the guts to distance himself.

...

The supposed divide between black and white is not the issue here; Obama's longtime association with Jeremiah Wright is.

Obama is a cynical pragmatist

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright affair and his "oops, you got me" response speech has only confirmed the obvious. Obama is a typical cynical politician. In his case, he needed credibility in South Chicago so he partnered with the people who could buy him influence (Wright and Rezko).

Obama doesn't believe in Wright's foolishness because he doesn't believe in anything. His prime motivation is the ability to exercise power.

Obama doesn't care to sooth race relations. He seeks to exploit them, evidenced by his proposals for more socialism and more affirmative action.

Obama would happily throw Jeremiah Wright under the bus if it meant more power. His problem now is how to delicately do just that without looking like a hypocrite and damaging his credibility as a uniter. He must now attempt to present himself as a politician unique in American history, someone who doesn't just feel your pain, but feels everyone's pain.

It is Getting Worse -- Obama's Hollywood Cult has Officially Jumped the Shark

Found at Althouse.

You have to see this video to believe it -- Yes We Can by Will.I.Am was embarrassingly bad. Who knew it was possible, but this one puts it to shame. I'm smiling ear-to-ear. These fools are making it too easy. If they can top this one, I'll be shocked.



Is Will.I.Am working for Karl Rove or something? Wow...

The more I know, the more I doubt

Oops - Global Warming Paradox at the NY Times Science Blog.

If only the masses could understand the science of global warming, they’d be alarmed, right? Wrong, according to the surprising results of a survey of Americans published in the journal Risk Analysis by researchers at Texas A&M University.

After asking a national sample of more than 1,000 Americans how much they knew about global warming and how they felt about it, the researchers report that respondents who are better-informed about global warming “both feel less personally responsible for global warming, and also show less concern for global warming.” Another unexpected result: “Respondents who showed a great deal of confidence that scientists understand global warming and climate change showed significantly less concern for the risks of global warming than did those who have lower trust in scientists.”

To know Obama, look to the women in his life

I am throughly impressed with some of the articles recently written identifying the Obama phenomenon for the fraud it is, in beautiful plain English.

Someone writing under the pseudonym 'Spengler' for the Asia Times writes Obama's women reveal his secret. This is without a doubt, a must read. Spengler tells you to look to Obama’s mom and wife for clues to his real motivations. Here are some choice quotes:

"Cherchez la femme," advised Alexander Dumas in: "When you want to uncover an unspecified secret, look for the woman." In the case of Barack Obama, we have two: his late mother, the went-native anthropologist Ann Dunham, and his rancorous wife Michelle. Obama's women reveal his secret: he hates America

...

Obama profiles Americans the way anthropologists interact with primitive peoples. He holds his own view in reserve and emphatically draws out the feelings of others; that is how friends and colleagues describe his modus operandi since his days at the Harvard Law Review, through his years as a community activist in Chicago, and in national politics. Anthropologists, though, proceed from resentment against the devouring culture of America and sympathy with the endangered cultures of the primitive world. Obama inverts the anthropological model: he applies the tools of cultural manipulation out of resentment against America.

...

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture.

There is so much more in this one. Please read it all.

Thomas Sowell: Dangerous demagoguery

Another must read (from a long line of must reads) from Thomas Sowell.

"Many people find it thrilling that the mantra of "change" is ringing out across the land during this election year. But let's do what the politicians hope that we will never do — stop and think."

Oh, I love Thomas Sowell. I'm not sure I've ever heard him say something I've disagreed with.

Listen to him in 1980 addressing the Fairmount Conference in San Francisco (still so prescient today):



Make sure and buy his memoir, A Man of Letters

Religous nut-job of the day (The Obama Messiah Watch Continues)

I mean it -- I hope to see a lot more of this ridiculousness over the next few months. People like this just might convince enough people to steer clear from the Messiah. Watch this 60's throwback...laugh at her...and then weep for her and her cause.



BTW -- there is a new Facebook group dedicated to Obama as Messiah. Join it if you can.
