Guess which card Obama pulled out of the deck today?

With both Rasmussen and Gallup showing Barack Obama moving backwards even before the Republican Convention dropped its balloons on Andrea Mitchell, one can excuse the Democratic nominee for hearing footsteps. How desperate has he gotten? Looks like he’s playing the race card once again:
“I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.”
“And I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.,’ You know, ‘he’s got funny name,’ You know, ‘we’re not sure about him,’” Obama continued. “And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’
Once again, Obama has resorted to a smear campaign against the McCain campaign. They have never –never — even hinted that Obama has “Muslim connections”. They have never made even a slight attempt to make his race an issue, despite this fourth repeat of this particular smear. Neither has the RNC nor any mainstream Republicans. In fact, the McCain campaign let go one staffer who only Twittered a link to a Jeremiah Wright video earlier this year.
If Obama wants to argue that some misdirected bloggers have made these kind of attacks, he might have a point. But by that standard, the Democrats have attacked Bristol Palin, smeared Sarah Palin about the maternity of her youngest child, and questioned the mental capacity of John McCain. If Obama wants to start making these kinds of accusations, then maybe he ought to get his own house in order first.
That’s not the only data point of desperation today, either:
Sen. Barack Obama ditched his normal languid cool today, punching back at Gov. Sarah Palin as he spoke with reporters in York, Pa, hotly defending his work as a community organizer. He said he assumes Palin “wants to be treated same way guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutinty. I’ve been through this for 19 months. She’s been through it, what four days?”
Obama’s hackles were clearly raised by Palin’s dismissal of his community organizing –a response to his earlier dismissal of her record as a small-town mayor. “Why would that kind of work be ridiculed?” Obama said. “Who are they fighting for?” The idea that community organizing is not relevant to the presidency, he said, just shows why Republicans “are out of touch and don’t get it.”
The Obama campaign was clearly on the defensive today, acknowledging how appealing Palin came across, and sending out surrogates hitting their talking points that Republicans have spent their time on attacks rather than substance.
Says the man who keeps calling John McCain the same as George Bush. There’s a word for a man who can dish it out but can’t take it. I’ll leave it to you to reach your own conclusions.

Because the “work” he did as a “community organizer” was as a “community agitator” for one of the most virulant communist groups in the country: ACORN….
That’s why….

…….If you listened to the Republican convention, they said nothing about the ecomony. They didn’t drone on and on about how the unemployment rate has risen…..
-Maybe because Republicans understand that, like the Earth’s temperature, the economy is a cyclical system. There are good times and bad.
-This from the Democratic party that wants to give 20-30 million illegal aliens amnesty. Imagine what the unemployment rate will be when the illegals can DEMAND higher pay and benefits and they are FIRED!
HornetSting on September 5, 2008 at 6:05 PM
sven, as a buck sergeant I have either led or assisted in leading, on foot, more than 200 short and long range recon or combat patrols in the former Republic of Vietnam, from 1962 to 1966.
HooaaaH…!
sven… FM 3-7-22… either my arse or my bible.
Not so much in Vietnam, did I mention asymmetrical and unconventional warfare…?
Same leadership qualities and attributes required…yet a different approach and mind set to war making.
J_Gocht on September 5, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Are you impressed, Sven?
HornetSting on September 5, 2008 at 6:06 PM
I figured you were ‘nam era….
so you don’t think a little less TacAir and a little more attention to Cantonment Garrison work in say ‘67-’68 would have swayed the outcome?
If and I mean no disrespect, if you were an e-5 in ‘nam then why do you want my generation to have our war undercut from us and half-assed like yours was?
Sorry I’ve lost 3 personal friends to these missions, the only reason I’m not there is I got hurt in the ’90s but my wife is there.
I just cannot wrap my head around someone who survives Vietnam and goes “oh yeah let’s let the hippes snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again it worked so well last time”…
2 Uncles in ‘nam on this end BTW and both back this war.

Well then, that can only mean one thing regarding his Chicago campaign: Obama needs a Community Organizer!
Isn’t that just precious?
Loxodonta on September 5, 2008 at 6:10 PM
With his service if legit?
certainly
With him refusing to understand we need to win this fight?
Absolutely not.
At the end of the day I do not want the blood, sweat, and tears of the community of which I am now a small part to all have been in vain….
I’ve seen too many divorces, broken hearted children, suicides, fatalities, and injuries to say now “let’s quit”….
That’s just me…FM 3-07-22 is a good doctrine and I am pretty sure he did not digest it to compare and contrast to his own era’s SOP.
There is plenty in it to criticize, I am not a fan of “4th gen warfare” I think allowing the enemy to shoot the gaps in extra-legal combat methodology without reciprocity is a fool’s RoE….
but I was raised old school.
YMMV,
Sven
sven10077 on September 5, 2008 at 6:13 PM
It’ll soon come out that Khalid al-Mansour, American Muslim advisor for a lot of Saudi money, funded Obama and solicited a powerful letter of recommendation for his acceptance into Harvard.
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/08/obamas-benefact.html
There is more research to be done on the story. I have a feeling that when Obama was doing “community organizing” in Chicago there might not have been only the Wright-Farrakhan-Qadaffi, Rezko-Auchi, and Black Panther connections forming, but also Mansour-Saudi and possibly Barack Sr-Raila Odinga connections.
It could be just coincidences, but I’d really love to see a datamining chart like Able Danger used to show where these names criss-cross, when, and why. Obama has been big into prison reform, and there’s traffic and connections between Chicago and Detroit with recruitment of incarcerated Blacks into Islam. I understand that South Chicago has a large Black Muslim population.
Also, al-Mansour talks a lot about America trying to kill off the blacks. Sounds an awful lot like Jeremiah Wright, doesn’t it? Makes me wonder if Wright and al-Mansour hanging out together or if they have a mutual friend who ties them together.
Obama knows the story is out there because his campaign has denied knowing either Sutton or al-Mansour. Al-Mansour wouldn’t comment on Sutton’s statements because he didn’t think that would help Obama. He didn’t deny it though, which would have helped Obama…
At this point it’s speculation. We’ll see what pans out. But it could be that Obama wants to prepare the stage for what he knows will be coming soon.

Absolutely, Sven.
Prayers to your wife.
HornetSting on September 5, 2008 at 6:15 PM
He was stupid enough to do it.
Magnificant!
I said this in an earlier thread, I’ll say it here: this is going to kill him at the polls. People are sick of being accused of being racist simply for disagreeing with someone’s positions. Their sick of being called racist because the Donks and their lefty mouthpieces in the MSM can’t counter arguments with anything of substance. Their sick of elitist jerks calling them racists when they know they aren’t, and this is going to sour the political center and blue collar Dems (you know, those “Bitter Clingers”?) even more on the guy, and if the Donks jump on this and start playing it up, they’re going to start getting their clocks cleaned further down the ticket.
Keep it up Obama. You’re talking your way straight out of relavence and with any luck, you may just take the party with you.
Bank on it.

Great piece on IBD regarding an organization FOUNDED by Barack Obama in 1992 called Public Allies. Michelle Obama was named executive director in 1993. Glenn Beck spoke about this organization on his radio show this morning and it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. He’s also going to have something about it in his newsletter online. It’s a must read and it all ties into some of the language coming from Obama’s speeches. Michelle’s words, while campaigning for her husband will also ring back in your ears- “Barack will require…Barack will not allow…”
If you pull this group up on the internet it just looks like a harmless community organizing group (whatever that is), but it’s much more than that. His campaign website is also tied into it somehow.

There are only three things that qualify a person to be President, character, character and character. I find the Obama – Biden ticket coming up short on all three points. Playing the race card, playing the gender card, proves it, over and over again.

Thank you. I am humbled anytime my family is thanked because people this is an easy nation to love and cherish and we are all a part of this effort. There is no shame on making war to have a presence in the region that we have stupidly allowed to leverage dominance on the world energy market.
Bring our oil use home and our roughnecks and soldiers will follow.
1) drill here drill now
2) build nuke, clean coal, and NG electrical generation
3) perfect wind, hydro, geo, and solar
4) a new manhattan project to try to get fusion online
1 of these 4 people is a genius on energy policy.

How can the United States consider allowing a man with such unbelievably thin skin anywhere near The Button. What is he gonna’ do when Vlad Putin paints him into a corner?
One thing I know from a lifetime of amateur and professional fighting, it’s indicative of a man who’s not actually what he he claims. He’s uncomfortable with the mask and insecure.
Tony Soprano on September 5, 2008 at 6:40 PM
I’m not sure he should go there. The ones who are truly out of touch with Americans are the dhimmicrats. Why else would Obama go to Germany to stump for his job in the White House?

Sven, don’t get me wrong. There is, of course, still room for reparte with back and forth. Plus there are still many tremendously witty posters. I just meant that at times the subject drifts so far away from the original thead.

What great news, he had to revert back to the only lines that got a response…he reminds me of the kids goldfish, you know the one that swims on its side, and then your child says “look he’s floating upside down”.
Obama is swimming sideways in the political pool, soon to be flushed down the toilet of despair.
right2bright on September 5, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Since he is so proud of being a “community organizer” will he please tell of some of his success? He did have some success didn’t he? I am sure that the neighborhoods that he organized are just beehives of industry, crime free, with happy people singing, “All Praise to Obama, the Giver”. This man is a joke. Didn’t he think for one minute that someone would say, “hey, how at the community organizing thing.?”

Tony Soprano on September 5, 2008 at 6:46 PM
I don’t either my son…
How do you think we felt at the time…spat upon in uniform, called “baby killers”, the system that placed us in “harms way” forsook us on our return.
We were provided very little or no medical or psychological support. The VA support system was totally broken down.
I couldn’t even get a dental check after four years in Vietnam when I made the personal decision I wouldn’t survive another three years in combat, for what…?
Gotta give ‘em this… They did manage to treat my 10th or 12th infection of intestinal parasites before they let me out. They probably were afraid I’d be a medical threat to the civilians that just adored my soldier’s arse…?
I didn’t reenlist for a bonus of thousands of dollars in 1966. I got my sorry, bony, GI vet’s arse, the hell out…!
It’s very similar to what the brave men and women are experiencing today when they return as heroes, from combat…?
HooaaH…!

So the election will probably go something like this:
White vote: Obama – 40%, McCain – 60%
Black vote: Obama – 98%, McCain – 2%
And when McCain/Palin are elected, the results will be deemed racist.
Actually, there will be no reliable way to determine the result on that basis because of the extensive “Bradley Effect” that will take place.

CapedConservative on September 5, 2008 at 7:18 PM
sven, that cantonment garrison approach was what our mission was all about.
We were training indigenous tribe’s people in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to support and defend themselves.
The regular forces generals in Saigon didn’t agree, they opted for a conventional TacAir, overwhelming force approach that was totally ineffective and very corrosive against a mostly rural civilian population with strong nationalistic and political ties.
The only way we could have ever won the Vietnam War was with the support of both the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people and the mountain tribes.
We did the best we could with the small conceptual and mission support we received form the leadership.
To this day I love the people of Vietnam and the Rahade and Bahnar tribes people I was so fortunate to serve.
Hooaah…!
J_Gocht on September 5, 2008 at 7:21 PM
I grew up in a Vietnamese boat community in Ohio.
The TacAir comment was about the non-reciprocal use of force by the way. I think the argument is quite overblown that we were too addicted to firepower in the conflict. That said Cantonments where successful coupled with the MACV-SOG and Phoenix Retirement Counselors damn near won it.
It never fails to amaze me that the nation would blanche at a Phoenix2.

Being an old worrier, I am not sure any significant unity is possible in our country. Looking backwards, some of our most revered presidents have had scurrilous rumors spread against them by their political opponents. And there have been deep divisions on many significant issues throughout our history.
It seems to me our form of government is not designed to promote unity, but rather to coalition building in order to make compromises on great issues. And as wrong as many of those compromises have been, are, and will likely continue to be, this approach has still resulted in what is undoubtedly the greatest country ever seen on this earth.
So please, keep making your case. It’s a good one and I support you on it. Please continue to do as John McCain said last night: Stand up! Stand up! Stand up and fight! Nothing is inevitable here! We’re Americans, and we never give up! We never quit! We never hide from history! We make history!
I will continue to cheer you on, and those like you.
But please remember that after McCain and Palin take office, there will be compromises, some painful and some even shameful.
And when those compromises are made, please continue to stand up and fight!
Loxodonta on September 5, 2008 at 7:26 PM
only two things I don’t compromise on are National Security, and the Bill of Rights.
I like low taxes, high employment, fast cars, slow inflation, big familes, small government, more legal migration, less illegal border jumping, bigger military, smaller state department etc etc
but the two non-negotiables are National Security, and the Bill of Rights.

Obama’s use of the term “community organizer” sounds inocuous enough. But when you overlay that job description over people who serve as “community organizers” is becomes rather alarming.
Community Organizers:
Jesse Jackson
Saul Alinsky
Al Sharpton
ACORN
I’ve been waiting for someone to put this together, but so far, no one seems to have focused on who they are, just what it is.
Jim M. on September 5, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Did anyone see where Black Entertainment Television (BET) aired the entire Democratic Convention, but did not carry one minute of the Republican Convention?
I was looking at the rating numbers for the two conventions today, and that little fact jumped off the page. So Oprah refuses to have Palin on her show, and BET shuns the Republican Convention, but there is no reverse racism going on here. Right?
Can you imagine the cries if a station refused to air Obama’s Roman Orgy but aired the Republican convention?
Jim M. on September 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
And add TV One to BET in stations not carrying the GOP convention but carrying the Dem Convention.

I’ll say it once again. Obama is the one actually playing the part of the racist. He’s the one actually trying to scare voters away from “that old, white guy” by playing on racist stereotypes. He’s actually doing what he keeps saying the McCain camp is going to do -cast doubt on his opponent based on the color of his skin.
