Mike is usually pretty solid. Maybe his idea is to promote him as a moderate so he'll get slammed come election time when his record is exposed for real.

Barackitis. Treatable, not fatal except to careers.

This liberal lust and partial conservative or moderate "hoodwinkery" for Obama might seem to be based on what appears to be a "fresh face" with "fresh idea". But as Finkelstein points out as well as other unbiased reports of Obama's record, there is nothing fresh about this face or these ideas. Obama is as common a super-lib as one can find. In reality Hillary Clinton is more conservative than Obama and as both have served in congress, Obama has become MORE liberal and more of a socialist.

But the truth is this infatuative "Obamination" by libs, super-libs and a handful of drunk conservatives and moderates has nothing to do with politics in the sense of governing and whose political science/philosophy is being examined and weighed for credibility. Instead this is about social politics.

What do I mean? I am referring to the liberal black approval need by many whites in leadership, both Democrat and Republican, who have fallen prey to the extortive practice of liberal and super-lib black mouthpieces who are passed off as leaders which demand acquiescence to the idea of the "black nod of approval" before you can be accepted as non-biased and non-bigotted. You see, much like has been reported at Newsbusters and other news and information sites interested in the whole story, much of the MsM presents the rejection of Democratic black men, black women and white women as some form of bigotry; that being sexist or racial bigotry, and not politically based.

Because of this MsM and liberal black mouth piece rhetoric drummed over and over most libs and super-libs instantly feel a sense of false shame and guilt if they dare reject anyone who demographically falls into the category of a racial, ethnic or gender minority. It is a false guilt but one that has been developed and repeated so often for so long that now it is part of the indoctrination of American culture, and generally social myths like these that are emotionally based in self-hatred and guilt are usually picked up and readily incorporated by libs and super-libs, but it appears even some conservatives and moderates are falling prey to this tactic.

So now here we have an example of the, "see, we love black people" idealogy that brings disgrace on any group of people who succumb to the social extortion of another. What a shame that today, in almost 2007 the MsM and many groups can't get beyond the reality that people of all races, ethnicities and genders are able to be supported or rejected based on political idealogy and not bigotry which is the only way the MsM and some minority extortion groups are able to portray opposition. But even greater is the shame of those who lack the kind of personal consitution needed to reject such extortive practices and present the truth as it is and confront those who are the true bigots of the world.

If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal.

A whoopsie for Gallagher.  I'll give him a pass on this one.

But it's going to be interesting as Barak and Hillary stumble all over each other in their attempts to move right and to try to gain the conceptual middle. 

Being the die hard liberals they are, however, they'll occasionally screw up the subterfuge, and out will come thier knee-jerk leftist positions, to which I'll shout "your other right, you idiot". 

Let the spinning begin.

I saw Gallagher this morning and I was sort of taken aback... I still haven't figured out if he is wanting Obama to get more attention than Shrillary for now or what, to make sure there is a race.... it sure wasn't like him at all.

I for one still think they may run together...if they don't, Hillary will and most likely does have any/all info. that is dirt that could hurt Obama when the times get tough, to release to the press....going to be interesting.

Look, at some point Mr. Obama is going to have to discuss the issues and his stances on them at length.  He’ll also have to answer for his past voting record (extremely liberal).

Mike, please tell us what makes this man a “moderate”?  Other than he's got a great smile...what makes him a moderate? 

Mike, I hear the defunct Air America is hiring…interested?  What a twit!
