Tired Refrains

The other day Michelle Obama was on a morning “news” show. She repeated the statement that Barry was raised by a “single mother” and in poverty, therefore he couldn’t be an elitist. Do they expect this to be equal to McCain’s service to our country, his 27 years in the Navy, including 5.5 in a Hanoi prison while liberals like Fonda betrayed America?
I hope not, because it’s not true. I watched the CNN special. His mom was single from age 2 to age 6, then moved to Indonesia where she lived a middle class life and Barry had a step-father. Then, she sent him to Hawai’i to live with his grandparents so he could attend a private school, with the other kids fortunate enough to have a choice of schools.
Barry Obama then went to college, transferred to Columbia in NY, then went to Chicago. He organized the community against injustices. Then he went to Harvard Law and was top of his class.
Then you know what he did? He used that education to come back to Chicago, get a beloved state senator thrown off the ballot, as well as his two other opponents, and walked into the state senate unopposed! Unopposed!
The biggest obstacle Barack Obama ever had to overcome? Losing a race for the U.S. Congress after only being a State Senator for two years! And in his 4 years in the state senate, getting his name on many bills by currying favors, he voted Present 129 times, so that he would continue to be a blank slate.
Or maybe it was being black at a white school in Hawai’i.
When did he become an elitist? When he went to Harvard, and decided he could come back, play hardball and push people to the brink. Was he smart? Was he a good orator? Yes and yes. Does he have the experience to run the free world? Not in your dreams. He’s only been in office, all office, for a little over ten years! He’s been in the Senate for less time than McCain spent in prison, hanging from his wrists from the roof of his cell for hours at a time.
One thing is for sure, after seeing how Barack has used people and played political hardball, I think it’s more possible that he was only using William Ayers, the Marxist terrorist that lives on his street and helped him reach the state senate. Only, he keeps throwing around Marxist lingo. “Increase taxes for the rich,” “tax rebates to the working poor,” free college tuition, nationalized health care, etc, etc.
Fortunately for us, he’s picked motor mouth Biden for his running mate, who will help continue the slide of Obama’s numbers.

The Political Brief
He has shown a great capacity for using people and "throwing them under the bus" so it makes me wonder if his run for the American presidency isn't a stepping-stone for the job he really appears to want. King of the World.
