#175. To: ghostdogtxn, the thread (#152)

He's not my first choice, not even my second choice, but out of what's left, he's my ONLY choice.

As I mentioned earlier, after the havoc wreaked on the entire world by 'my generation' presidents, bentmember and smirk; I'm ready to let the younger generation have a go at it.

My hope is that the awakening that Dr.Paul started across the country, and the world, will continue on the local level. That's where most all these criminal cretins that wind up in deecee got their start, after all.

If RP's support included as large of a % of latent McHillObama supporters as it appears, then truly the movement was MUCH smaller than anyone knew...

Interestingly, it appears that MOST of the faux RP supporters came from the traditionally labeled Liberal wing of the CFR Party...

I expect the grievance industry and the Black Community will, in some parts, come unhinged because Obama threatens their livelihoods. We will have to see what the fallout is from that.

Excellent point - I hadn't even thought of the poverty-pimps reaction...maybe BHO should tap Bill Cosby as his veep, to really stir the pot.

If he does that, my only question is then "Where do I send the check?"

Obama has set the stage now for real leadership. This is political brinksmanship at its best. If he does not seize the moment and emerge as a real leader with a solution and a plan, all is for naught.

All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment.

I imagine the uproar at Jesse Jackson's mansion is deafening. Obama threatens Jackson's very existance. Ditto for Al Sharpton and the Diversity Mongers.

Once Obama starts in, he will discover that Black America has withdrawn from the country in many parts. Whitey did his part - it is now time for Black America to do its part and join with the rest of us.

Lunch with a friend of mine where we discuss these matters (let's just say his kids are mixed) should be very interesting this week.

America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.

This is a very good speech, but it has the typical Obama signature to it.

Another point in his favor.

Who's the last President you could say that about.

He's obviously got about a 65 point IQ edge on the Decider ... not a bad place to start from.

Funny, I could have sworn you posted on this forum you would abandon your support for Ron Paul unless he publicly disowned Kucinich.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Well, I suppose he didn't have to, unless he paid attention to you.

As you just admitted a few posts back, you demanded that he publicly disown Kucinich or you would drop your support of him.

Some diehard support that is.

go from supporting the Constitution-candidate

If you bother to read Obama's speech, you may notice that he begins by talking about the Constitution, and ends by talking about the Constitution.

In his previous speeches he has repeatedly spoken of his respect for the Constitution, denounced torture, called for restoring habeas corpus, etc.

He occasionally mentions in his speeches that for years he taught constitutional law. Not just anywhere, but at the conservative University of Chicago Law School.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
