Here are Connerly’s own words:

For example, in all three of the campaigns that we have conducted to date — California, Washington, and Michigan — Bill Clinton and Colin Powell strongly urged a “No” vote. In Michigan, Senator Barack Obama demonstrated that, while he may be a “fresh face” on the political scene, he embraces the same old stale ideas as other Democrats when it comes to race preferences. Not only did he oppose MCRI, he even cut a radio ad claiming that “the playing field” is not level for women and “minorities.”

On another topic, there was also this item in the Hebel story:

On the campaign trail, Mr. Obama last week announced a broad plan that he said would help working families “reclaim the American dream.” One way to do so, he said, is to make it easier for them to attend college. He proposed creating a tax credit, worth up to $4,000 per year, for tuition. The credit would be refundable, so people would benefit even if their incomes were too low for them to owe taxes.

In other words, he proposed a $4,000 giveaway for the 50% of the population who pay little or no taxes, while the other 50% who pay 97% of all taxes would now be asked to pay a huge amount more – while they are told that their children move to the bottom of the college admissions line, particularly if they happen to be white males.

He’s so obviously blissfully ignorant, but he’ll never get challenged on any of it.

Trubble, I think some of what you hear is Obama’s way of talking down to his audience; I image the “Fog Index” of his speeches is pretty low.

I’m also not so sure that Ward Connerly spoke as highly of Obama for admitting that his daughters were ‘advantaged’ as this story indicated .

Sounded more like sarcasm to me. Especially given that Obama is out pushing for the same racial preferences that will benefit his daughters no matter what he says to reporters.

Repeat: 2006 gross income $975,000.

Again…nice. Hebel’s hagiography was sloppy. I had to wash off after reading it.

Tune up the violins.

Michelle Obama is scarier than Hillary Clinton. Who’d of thunk it?

A**hole!

McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got a tax refund and I’m considering a donation to either the RNC or McCain (never say never again, repeat as needed). I didn’t pay much attention to the campaign finance kerfuffle, but is McCain’s money tied up until September or something, so the donation to the *&^%$# RNC the way to go?

Don’t worry about it, fc. In the unlikely event that the whole thing ever gets anywhere at all beyond Howard Dean’s growling points, it’s vaguely conceivable that someone in the McCain campaign may be fined $25,000 sometime in 2009 or 2010 or so.

Tune up the violins.

Interesting article on Michelle Obama. (Thanks, B.D.). Haven’t seen some of these facts before in the fawning coverage M.O. has been receiving from the U.S. media. Wonder when/if they’ll decide it’s appropriate to examine her background, or if they’ll just continue to forego any critical analysis of her hypocricy, for fear of being labelled racists.

I’m also not so sure that Ward Connerly spoke as highly of Obama for admitting that his daughters were ‘advantaged’ as this story indicated .

why did it take 19 rounds of balloting before he was chosen as the compromise candidate?

Good question! I’m also not so sure that Ward Connerly spoke as highly of him for admitting that his daughters were “advantaged” as much as this story would indicated. Recognizing “nuance” is faint praise.

The editors of the law journal “saw him as a coalescing force around which they could come together and do high-quality work,” Mr. Ogletree says. “He was able to gently steer them without anyone feeling compromised or undermined in their views.”

Interesting article, buy Danish. I wonder though, if Obama was recognized by the other students (and professors) as such a wonderful talent, why did it take 19 rounds of balloting before he was chosen as the compromise candidate? (A fact reported in other articles on Obama’s tenure as head of the Law Review, but not mentioned in this one).

I went on the Oprah show 18 months ago to promote a book I wrote, and I now have the experience to run this country because the left-wing media has been campaigning for me around the clock.

Dude, that was so … right. Wow.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Also, it seems that you libs have been whining incessantly about the cost of the war, but you’re saying that you’re going to take the money we’re spending on it and use it for healthcare and whatever else you can pull out of your ass. So tell me, if you intend to keep spending all that money, why all the previous whining about expenditure? Face it, all Dems are looking to spend the taxpayers’ money on their favorite Marxist charity and your opposition to the war is all about not being able to use that money on something you care about.

But I can promise you this, I will always tell you where I stand and what I think.

Except if you’re protectionist Ohio manufacturing workers. Then I’m totally cool with lying to you about where I stand. Yup. That’s cool. Just as long as I warn the Canadians that I’m totally just messing, so they don’t get too worried. But hey, I may lie about those stupid “issues”, but at the end of the day you can tell all your friends that you voted for the black guy. Look at you, Mr. Liberal White Guilt, you just voted for the black guy. Good for you!

He’s Super!

And Ficial!

All on one.
