The man can draw a CROWD!!!
He says some things, too.
Like this:
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
HOO boy!!!
He’s feelin’ it now!!!
We are at a crux point.
A change point.
Is it time for a quantum leap in the American consciousness? One that will NOT be supported by large portions of the MSM?
We shall soon see.
That’s some plain talk he’s talking.
As plain as that of Reverend Wright, although phrased more gently in the interests of broader consumption and easier digestion.
The last time I heard anything real from him on that level was about eight months ago (Longer?) when he addressed a group of Detroit auto execs and took them to task for not building better automobiles instead of whining about increased competition from Japan and Korea.
I thought then that such direct talk would finish his campaign.
I was wrong. It did not.
Read on for my take on how to get him the hell into the White House.
For those of you who wonder why I am so insistent on the inclusion of HRC on the ticket…I still think that this potential rebirth needs all the help that it can get. The opposition that we saw to the Gore and Small K kerry campaigns will pale in comparison to what is laid down against Senator Obama.
Why?
Because compared to him they are both, to put it plainly, incompetent putzes as politicians. Plus, they were…and remain…mainstream “Go along to get along”-type Dems. Or am I just repeating myself?
If I had heard a single sentence from either of them that rivaled the quote above I would have fallen to the floor in a swoon of amazement. Instead we got “Lieutenant Kerry, reporting for duty” and “I invented the internets”.
But they both garnered about 50% of the popular vote.
Why?
Because there are a majority of Americans who are also “Go along to get along” types. It’s only natural. 99% of the time that’s what works. It’s called survival of the most adaptive.
Dems, Rats? What’s the difference, really? I’ll just vote the way my father (husband, brother, mother, sister, best friend, fave TV network) votes and be done with it.
Or not vote at all.
There’s no real difference among the parties or the candidates.
Yup.
However, here we are in crunch time.
Oil, the environment, the emergent ex-Third World, the tatters of the U.S. Constitution hanging around Butch’s neck like a cheap necktie…
UH oh!!!
And we have a potentially RE-adaptive leader.
One who is a member of a minority race that has been relegated to second-class citizenship for 400+ years here.
Alla’ those folks who voted for Butch?
All’s we need to do is not lose many of the ones who voted for Small K and Fat Al, attract maybe 10% of the Butch voters and what we have here is something commonly referred to as a “landslide” victory.
How to do this? In the most efficient, most secure manner?
LORD, people!!!
OBAMA/CLINTON ’08!!!
How much more can HRC prove herself?
“She’ll be a disruptive force!!!” bleat the leftiness sleeple.
Number one, she is and has been a good Dem all of her life. As good as any, and better than most.
Number two…?
C’mon.
When was a Vice-President of the U.S. ever in a position to be a disruptive force unless it was through Agnew-style graft?
Get real. The system is not set up to allow it.
Plus…she can school Obama in the finer points of the Presidential hustle. How to deal with Congress, the CIA and all of the other forces that come to bear on a sitting President. You know that proverbial first interview with the spooks and the generals? Where they walk into the Oval Office and say “Mr. President. Here’s what is REALLY happening.” and the President is so dumbstruck that he has to go into seclusion for a couple of days before he can get his game face back on?
She’s already been privy to that process.
She can help him get elected and she can help him govern.
Take her out of the picture and you are back playing amateur-level poker with the pros. Depending on luck and the goodness of the universe to see you through. (Which does happen. Occasionally.) Now Obama has some chops…he also has proven himself this year….and he is the right man in the right place at the right time. But why depend on luck when you can deal yourself a straight flush?
I do not understand the overall hatred of this woman as it has been evinced on the leftiness blogs. Except…it seems to have escalated as the dreaded white working class has embraced her. And of course…she IS a woman, after all. Can’t have THAT sort of thing happening…
You want a revolution?
Go whole hog plus postage.
Elect a ticket that breaks ALL of the rules and let’s get started on this goddamned century.
VAYA!!!
Before it’s too fucking late.
VAYA!!!
