I hope Obama loses, not just because he won’t be president, but so that I can go 24 hours without hearing about the man. Too much. Terrye on July 25, 2008 at 5:58 PM

We’ll kill two birds with one stone this election cycle. No more Hillary and no more Obambi. Sweet!

I remember how tedious Kerry got in 04 and Obama is worse. The Dems always lead this time of year. Mondale was way ahead of Reagan, Dukakis way ahead of Bush 41, Gore way ahead of Bush 43, and Kerry way ahead of Bush 43. BHO is just even with McCain and he’s headed in the wrong direction. The more we hear from B. Hussein the less we like. Sweeter still!

…yet so comparatively little to his organizational brilliance, a virtue that might help sell him to undecided voters who are worried that he’s too much of a neophyte to run an administration

Sorry AP, but I think you’re dead wrong on this!!

It is the Leftist/Soros machine which is running Obama: not the other way around. All the machine needed was a compliant candidate who would obey orders, and Hillary wasn’t sufficiently compliant.

You can’t find any evidence in Obama’s background that he has any significant organizational or administrative skills.

LOL. If thre’s one thing Neobama does not need, it’s more ears…

Brooks’ record is indicative of someone who is slow. Do you choose your doctor this way?

Obama used the word “walls” 16 times in the Berlin speech, and in 11 of those cases, he was talking about walls coming down…

Since “walls” have become a new theme for the B Hussein sideshow, I’d like to hear someone ask him, just for kicks, what he thinks of the Great Wall of China. I’m pretty sure that would kick off a 7 minute long series of “uhh .. em, er, … uh …”, though it would be rhetorically elegant stammering, no doubt.

The odd thing is that Obama doesn’t really think this way. When he gets down to specific cases, he can be hard-headed. Last year, he spoke about his affinity for Reinhold Niebuhr, and their shared awareness that history is tragic and ironic and every political choice is tainted in some way.

Brooks is deeply saddened that the consummate BS artist articulate and wise potential savior of the universe is wasting his talent with Disney-esque rhetoric, because it couldn’t possibly be true that the guy is actually a fraud.

Who doesn’t want to believe in a world of candy canes and fairy dust?

I’d love to be able to. I’d love it if a genuine utopia could exist right here and now, making everyone happy, healthy and fulfilled. I think fondly on Heaven but try not to think too long on what forever is.

Who doesn’t but the most cynical of people?

::sheepishly raising hand:: :-)

My perfect world is not a world of perfection.

The difference is that I know it isn’t possible, not while free will is allowed, and without free will, I know I don’t want it.

Heh. Speaking about free will always brings up these little problems. But you have hit the nail on the head, here.

But that doesn’t mean that I don’t wish I could get caught up in something like that, one that was real.

If you really wanted to – I mean REALLY wanted to – you could get caught up in it. It’s pretty easy. People can convince themselves of just about anything. But it all comes down to how one prioritizes knowledge and bliss, which was my point about Brooks, and why I think it important to not give an inch to anyone who publishes pieces designed to do nothing but draw others into an unrealistic fantasy (speaking about his earlier, pre-cognitive opinions about B Hussein). There are many who ache for it to be true (not want, but ache) and don’t need much to push them over the edge.

Then consider combining word from the article as captions, with another child picture, with a halo…The article is ripe with thoughts. Artists need to convert them into pics.

None are more disgusting than their lemming/sheep-like “wait and see”, and cult followings.

I mean, if you really start thinking seriously along this line of reasoning, you will soon be more than ready for a padded cell and basket weaving classes at Happy Acres Funny Farm.

We may end up being interred at Happy Acres Funny Farm by the Thought Police for daring to question the “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for” philosophy.

enlist the good will and assistance of the whole world to help itself.

The lack of initiative and confidence of the “whole world” is absolutely sickening and a Gargantuan baby-cry.

Wtf is the “whole world” been waiting for all this time. Tell it to get off its giant collective ars and do something, without waiting like babies for an empty Utopian nihilist, who won’t offer them anything but “feel-good” nothingness. It is pathetic how otherwise functioning people can get this snowed.

Where is the bathroom? Who will hold my hand?

Get over this much stupidity, you, the Europeans, the Middle Easterners, some Asians, the Africans, Central/South Americans.

Go help yourselves, and stop the whining.

America already pays through its eyes for all kinds of world protection, so you can whine, whine, whine.

This Utopian ‘world peace’, waiting for ‘walls to crumble’…bla, bla, bla won’t get anything done.

Where’s that pacifier?

yet so comparatively little to his organizational brilliance, a virtue that might help sell him to undecided voters who are worried that he’s too much of a neophyte to run an administration

That’s an astute observation AP although I sincerely doubt it has anything at all do with him. The proof would be Deval Patrick who ran an identical campaign under Axelrod. Once Patrick won and Axelrod and his staff left, everybody quickly realized Patrick was just the front man. That’s largely why the support for Obama is greatly muted in MA and why Hillary won the State. People here have seen this act before. Thank God Patrick isn’t the narcissistic megalomaniac I believe Obama to be. It’s clear now Patrick was in it strictly for the money.

With all the problems at the NYT, this clown probably is just getting worried that his checks won’t clear.
