Anyone running against George W. Bush's third term ought to be ahead in the polls by wide double digits. Instead, Obummer and Mad Mac are in dead heat, with Mad Mac actually ahead in most polls. That doesn't say very much about Obama's candidacy.
(1) The corporate media, including 99 percent of the overpaid anchors, are for the GOP because of tax policy issues. They have a personal stake in not being taxed at higher rates plus their corporate bosses have even bigger stakes.
(2) Obama is still (half) black.
There's also
3) Talk about "HOPE...CHANGE...YES WE CAN" worked for his early pep rallies, but it wears really thin. Some of his supporters wanted to hear some policy substance, and there isn't any to be had.
To be more accurate he is half African. His ancestors are not linked to the Africans that arrived to the USA over generations.
That is the curious (neither good or bad) about Obama - he was an outsider all round. He was outsider even within the black community because he is a first generation African without any link to the African American with slave ancestors and the culture they produced. That is why it may seem he can move beyond Black politics - they really are not his people per say even though America's culture kind of pigeon holes him as part of the group - a group he adopted late in life to fit in.
I say this not in the way a Rush Limbough type would say it as in Obama adopted black Americans as his own for political purposes like this was planned from the get go. If Obama had grown up in South Africa under aparthied he would have adopted the culture of the 'coloreds' who were the mixed race groups in that system. Society always tries to force you into a group or role based on who you were born to and what you resemble.

When was the last time this ever happened? Since Kennedy ushered in the TV president - looks and personality are all that counts on the left and right for the vast majority of people. In fact any candidate left or right would be destroyed if he went into super detailed policy planks. The only ones that do that are considered kooks by the mainstream media like Ron Paul or Kuchinik (spelling??).

The blacks I've known who are actually from Africa usually don't have the attitude problems typical of American blacks. They don't generally play the victim card or use their race as an excuse for their lot in life, at least not to the degree that US blacks who learned to play the race card before they could walk.
Maybe South Africans are different, the ones I've met have been from Kenya or Nigeria.
without any link to the African American with slave ancestors
All the more puzzling his links with Wright.
He had no need to subscribe to the narrative of Black America.
Many African immigrants don't.
Yet he did. For political reasons, perhaps his wife's urgings.
What may have been smart in the wards of Chicago, then to win a Senate seat both locally and nationally and then the Dem primary has it's pitfalls with the greater electorate, particularly when Hillary held her fire.

Usually, the rich have to choose between their PC-liberal social views and their wallets.
That could be why the mass media likes Mad Mac so much, he supports PC causes like amnesty for illegal aliens, but also promises to give the rich their tax break.

Many African immigrants don't.
That is why I said he is an outsider in his own community, too. He is not an immigrant but son of an immigrant who left him.
Wright is more than likely his wife's choice for a preacher in church. Like many families - women control the religious aspects of the household. Do you think Palin's religous views are the same as her husband's? The guy seems to go along to get along in that house. Even then, I have a low threshold of respect for American Protestant churches and find the white right wing churches the other side of the same coin. White right wing churches routinely say God is damning America - see Katrina and 9/11 for more recent examples.

Obama spoke an absolutely coherent paragraph, comparing W's policies to McCain's. The conclusion being that there was no difference between them, concluding that McCain was attempting to present his policies as something different than W's but all that he was doing was putting lipstick on a pig. It had NOTHING to do with Palin. Palin was not mentioned within that context.
If the McCain people believe it was about Palin maybe it's THEIR dirty minds and this is how THEY see Palin.
I already said this at the top
"Was she talking about Obama's pig comment. I kind of doubt it."
No. I do probably disagree with putting Katie Couric in the ad. I don't think she was talking about Obama when she made that statement.
Obama could have been calling her a pig indirectly. I don't think he was, but he may have been. So it is fair to put the ad up. Obama is free to put ads up to. He can defend it and call them distorters and liars. Then the people can decide.
Do you think the video should have been removed from youtube?
Let's be clear...I can't stand McInsane, or Obammy for that matter, but I firmly believe the old kook WILL stomp Obammy...not because of anything he's done...but when the RNC got Palin, they made a BRILLIANT move. This is going to bring on board the sleeping "conservative" base that was not energized by liberal McNasty and the fact she is a woman going to bring on a lot of women voters. I really like what I'm hearing from Palin but I refuse to vote for the crazy one just so she can be VP. I REFUSE to vote for the lessor of 2 evils...so I'm be voting for the person that BEST reflects my views...Chuck Baldwin, and NO, I'm NOT throwing away my vote.
I would vote for Chuck Baldwin too but the Constitution Party didn't make the ballot where I live and they don't count write ins. So I don't have anyone to vote for.

I may vote Baldwin. Is he on the ballot in Ohio? I assumed he was. I'll have to check that sometime.
this is where we majorly part company. yeah, the people are given a choice in the first place with puppet A or puppet B both controlled by CorporationUSA. in the second place, we have more than enough evidence of massive vote fraud which has occurred for decades in this country.
a truism: "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." ~Stalin
a vote for one or the other branch of the establishment party only serves to enable the ongoing fraud.
wudiziz's friend said this. sage, imo. "Don't vote. It only encourages them."
And someone else wisely said, "Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards."

Ok you made your point that you think it is a dirty trick. I have a question for you. Do you think this will sway the election? How much if you think it does. And in what direction will it sway the election? Then one final question. Who do you think is going to win the election? Not who you want to win but who do you think will win?
And someone else wisely said, "Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards."
If you don't vote you shouldn't complain. Because you have nothing to complain about. You can't complain because the wrong guy got in there. You can't complain that they stole your vote.
I also have some real interest in who Rev.2:9 & Rev.3:9 is referring to. Expand on that. You have any ideas?
Well...I'd have to say the Zionists that are hell bent on a world government is a good place to start...you know, those folks occupying positions of power in our government and that little country in the middle east.
Not true, although it's been said often in better times. All that voting means is that you brought yourself to participate. It may be that sitting out a vote says more than going in and pulling one of the pre-approved levers. Actually, telling people that they have to vote simply perpetuates the problem. If we all refused to vote, the government would be much more obviously illegitimate. As it is, they can point to the small number of people who do turn out to vote and claim they "represent" the people.
"Obama made a huge mistake in my view with the pig comment."
Yep, the ObamaNation is flailing around in a hopeless search fer a counter- strategy. And Barry's desperation is leading to more and more mistakes...he ain't quite the Messiah the RAT-Media makes him out to be.
"Now McCain has a new ad out that is gong to cream Obama. Women will be upset by this i'm sure. Rightly or wrongly. I do have one question about this ad though. Maybe some of you can help me out. There is a comment by Katie Couric and she talks about sexism. Was she talking about Obama's pig comment. I kind of doubt it."
Your instincts are correct, Old Friend...PerkyKatie's comment was in relation to the Obamagasmic RAT-Media's attacks on the Hildabeast during the RAT Primary.
"So it is a little disingenuous on the McCains camps part to put that part in the ad. I'm sure it will be quite effective though."
I heard YouTube quickly pulled the ad due to a CBS complaint of copyright infringement for using Katie's comment out of context.
"It seems like Obama is losing it with these new poll numbers that are coming out."
Yep, the ObamaNation is looking mighty desperate...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Localities, and Individuals as Prescribed in the U.S. Constitution!!

MBS gives an outstanding endorsement of anything else.
I have no idea what Youtube video you're talking about. Was the McCain commercial removed from Youtube? Okay. And? It's supposed to be a PAID commercial. No?
Anyways, WHO removed it? What were the circumstances?
What I REALLY wanted to see on Youtube and I couldn't because they took it out was the video of Jimmi Page and Leona Lewis doing Whole Lotta Love in Beijing.
Ahhhh!!! So it was Katie Couric objecting her being made to look as if she was saying something she did not mean, the way Obama was being made to look as if he was saying something he didn't mean?
I can tell you, the McCains are a little bit TOO cute. It may backfire.
