but he’s banking on the American voter not knowing any better this fall.

Which is pretty much a sure bet.

Just writing to say I love Ed Morrissey’s mind. He is the reason I make Hot Air a daily read. He writes with such clarity, it’s a joy to read.

sheryl on May 21, 2008 at 12:55 PM

Ditto. That’s why many of us followed Ed over from his excellent solo blog, Captain’s Quarters.

Obama did get 7,000 people to see him at our arena, which is pretty impressive, so who knows what the turnout will be

He’ll be Bill Clinton hoping that nothing ever happens on his watch so he can focus his attention on domestic issues.

However we are f’ked on the domestic side. Taxes are going to go up. Socialism (big intrusive government/activist judges) will once again be the promised land. Hello reparations. Trinity church in the Lincoln room. Black hate speech the new “rap” as whitey gets his. Thank you rev Wright.

Massive cuts in defense will be the fairy dust for new entitlements here and abroad. With this the budget will appear to be balanced akin to Clinton’s. We will have a shrinking military with hopes of duplicating the Euro model. The World Court and the UN will be constantly praised. If a repub ever gets elected again, the demographics make it exceedingly difficult, the new president will start off much like Reagan and Bush Jr.–in a massive military hole that will unbalance the budget in order to rebuild.

great comment patrick neid

Quite an inspiring “American” story, isn’t it?

Yep, Oscar/Nobel material: “An Inconvenient Truth, Pt II.”

Let’s not forget that Barry was also abandoned by his second daddy, the one who took him to Indonesia where Barry learned his koranic prayers faithfully. That is why I’ve been saying for a while now that Barry has Daddy Abandonment issues, and should be seeking out a psychiatrist instead of seeking out the Presidency.

RickZ on May 21, 2008 at 11:08 AM

agreed

There are 7 states in the second America Edwards keeps yapping about.

Maybe these are the Black Liberation states.

nice

His inability to count states also could fall into this category, although he’s now muffed this twice.

wow…didn’t know he did it again. The dems have lost their minds….hopefully the US electorate isn’t going to follow them off this cliff.

Barry O. is Johnny Hooker, trying to take the whole country in a long con.

DaveC on May 21, 2008 at 9:22 AM

Yeah, but when you were six, you weren’t sitting in an Indonesian madrassa…

true, true..

It was unbelieveable.

That’s the media’s M.O. (Modus Obamerandi).

They are in permanent Excuses For Barry mode.

Papering over every idiocy of BHO’s with the rapidity of the proles in “1984″ tearing down and plastering up new versions of history at a moment’s notice, even as the Party changes the story and enemy in mid-scream.

The Down-The-Memory-Hole Media feverishly covering up for this tyro schmuck with all their might and devotion.

It’s so transparent, they can’t even see it themselves.

“Obama Meant To Say” is the order of the day.

If he does, and his chances are good, he will quickly revert to a semi Bush position in foreign affairs. He will make all the right statements that certain conditions will have come to light (none will exist)that have called for said changes. He will stress once again that unlike Bush he was capable of change. The fact that his new positions are the same as Bush’s when he left office will go unnoticed by the faithful, not to mention the MSM which will tout this dynamic new president who is capable of CHANGE. Get it Change!!!!!! He’ll be Bill Clinton hoping that nothing ever happens on his watch so he can focus his attention on domestic issues.

However we are f’ked on the domestic side. Taxes are going to go up. Socialism (big intrusive government/activist judges) will once again be the promised land. Hello reparations. Trinity church in the Lincoln room. Black hate speech the new “rap” as whitey gets his. Thank you rev Wright.

Welcome to the socialist death cycle.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened” (Norman Thomas, 1936 presidential candidate on the Socialist ticket)

So tell me once again how there are no differences between Obama and McCain.

This all falls into the same pot as the misquoting fiasco. Obama and the media misquote the “100 year war” line everyday, but when Bush states what Obama said, multiple times, then thats misquoting.

Now Bad year to you all, I must go search out Bizarro Superman.

AZCoyote on May 21, 2008 at 10:32 AM

A somewhat more conspicuous death than McCain’s father dying on a plane of a heart attack after serving his country for 30+ years.

Has a nice ring for posterity don’t you think?

Will Arch Bishop GodDamned Wright be a pillar in the palace?

The reality is that Obama’s mother was a naive, 17-year old, anti-American hippie when she met up with the 24-year old, married w/children, lying womanizer Obama Sr. in Hawaii. Obama Sr. had left his pregnant wife Kezia and their young child back in Kenya to attend school in Hawaii. Obama Sr. met the gullible teenager Ann Dunham, impregnated her, pretended to marry her, and then abandoned both her and their baby when Barry was all of 2 years old, to attend a program at Harvard. At Harvard, Obama Sr. met and became involved with yet another woman, who followed him back to Africa and had several children with him there as his “wife” — even though he was still married to his first wife Kezia. Obama Sr. had two more children with his wife Kezia after he returned to Kenya. The third “wife” — with whom Obama Sr. also had children — eventually divorced Obama Sr. because he brutally beat her. Obama Sr. was known as an abrasive drunk, and he lost his job as an economist in the Kenyan government. He had several serious drunk driving accidents before finally killing himself in one.

Quite an inspiring “American” story, isn’t it?

He’s an absolute and total fraud. He is a zero, a null set, a nothing, a vacuum, who will be absolutely dependent on advisors and enthralled by his wife’s venomous social agenda. Anyone who could say that Americans have to eat less to gain the approval of other countries is our enemy people, our enemy.

Akzed on May 21, 2008 at 9:28 AM

No, he won’t be dependent on advisors. He will be their captive. The difference is that they will be the ones setting policy and making decisions. They will be the real power behind the throne.

The English understand this all too well. They’ve had a series of child-kings, each of whom had a regent to “advise” them. The reality was that the regents all became corrupt autocrats who plundered the country for their own benefit, and resisted any and all attempts to wrest their authority back to the king or to any other advisor or official. Without exception, these regents were ruinous.

An Obama presidency with a compliant Democratic Congress would open up the same possibilities of corruption and lack of accountability.

Barry cannot pronounce Massachusetts.

He says MASSATOOSITS.

He did it during on of the debates with Hillary.

Is that the ebonic spelling?

benrand on May 21, 2008 at 9:27 AM

It’s an act. I saw a video clip on one of the news channels where he was interviewed while in college. No accent of any kind. If you closed your eyes and listened, you would never know he’s black. I can’t find the clip on the interwebs — anyone else have a link?

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings may recall Sam Gamgee’s father, the Old Gaffer, whose cliche wisdom Sam would often and annoyingly recall while on the road with Frodo.

As the story goes…..the power of the One Ring also took control of Frodo to a point when Frodo (with the help of the “slimy creature”) betrayed his only friend.

Wisdom comes from our forefathers who experienced the successes and failures while passing on both so we can make better choices. While the failures of Communism, Socialism, and Marxism still today continues to raise its ugly head in the guise of liberal diversity—-the nanny state mentality that its the governments responsibility to put the poor into SUV’s (at $2.00 a gallon gas), finance our children’s education under radical leftist doctrines, and create a health care system that will rival the social security debacle—-ALL FORMS OF GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY.

Barak Obama would love to wield this “ring of power” while the wisdom of Sam’s father understands the ultimate corruption in the hands of an unlimited government that would enslave its people.

See, it is close enough to a racist term to qualify as a racist term under the rules of the Democrat Party.

The actual meaning, your post above nor your intention have no bearing on their verdict.

Mark my words, this will happen and probably today.

Maybe these are the Black Liberation states.
