This lovefest by 4um members for Obama is downright laffable.

White guilt? Hardshell democrats? Naive and or without a clue?

We got sandbagged with Clinton and Bush from the same organization and now they offer up Obama and the sheep slobber all over themselves to be first in line for the slaughter.

The elite in the back room must be having a real gut busting laff.

Talk is cheap. How did he vote on the funding for the war? Did he not vote in favor of the funding? He is allegedly against the war but votes for all the funding.

There is, of course, a very simple way to prove your claims -- or at least to make them a lot more believable. If Ron Paul did confide his plans to you, surely you posted something about that here, or elsewhere on the Web. Or at least you must have made some mention of this breakfast meeting you claim to have had with him. You have only to point us to those earlier postings.

If, however, this thread is the first time you have mentioned Ron Paul's assurance or your breakfast meeting with him, and that only in response to my challenge, you will have to accept the fact that no one will believe you.

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.

But you somehow never post anything about your meetings with these important people, until somebody challenges you.

Yeah, sure.

As if we are supposed to believe that somebody with your obvious lack of manners and breeding gets to meet all these important people.

True, we have been neocon-hubristicly slavish of the British.

It is to Likud that we are puzzlingly and totally submissive.

But, I still submit that either all problems stem from the very early and ongoing obsessiveness with Iraq or the Bush administration is simply totally inept.

Kennedy endorsed Obama ... something I have never seen attributed to any act/wish on Obama's part.

Incidentally, it appears to have done no good whatsoever for Obama aside from some Kennedy-hagiographic photo-ops.

OTOH, McCain and Kennedy have worked hand in glove legislatively.

Gee, I remember an inordinate amount of build up to the event, and the waiting for royalty to arrive. Can't quite remember so much free airtime given to any other candidate, other than the priestess herself.

OTOH, McCain and Kennedy have worked hand in glove legislatively. Yes. McCain. Brought back from the dead to ensure no matter which party chummed the waters best, the sharks win.

But on the other hand, he wore a glove. >grin

I may be getting off track, but do you really think RedNeck (oops! I mean RedState) Uhmurrica would sit still while either Hitlery or a black man became Prezodent?

Obama's speech was a nice and commendable effort, and there isn't much in it with which to disagree (other than his shameful genuflection to the NeoCons on the issue of the source of the trouble in the Middle East), but I don't think that the people who need to be reached will ever give either the speech or speaker a fair chance.
