What does yours say?

As the Left continues to assail John McCain as too old, perhaps it is Barack NMN Obama that is loosing his marbles. First we had the 57 States gaffe, now (h/t Cassy Fiano posting at Right Wing News)

(LA Times) Both South Dakotans lavished all sorts of praise on Obama, according to reporters present, including The Times Nicholas Riccardi. As the large, enthusiastic crowd of some 7,000 supporters roared and waved “We can do it” signs and Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising” blared, Obama bounded onto stage, grabbed the microphone and said, “Thank you, Sioux City!”

Trouble is, Obama was in Sioux Falls.

Woops! The first is in Iowa. The latter is in South Dakota. They are 85 miles apart.

Michelle M. points out that the bigger gaffe was appearing with landslide loser George McGovern.

Funny? Scary? You decide. (Full-size here.)

More Obama worship! This one IS scary.

Sardonic. Ironic.

(The Politico) To that end, he responded to McCain’s speech on the environment just now, hitting McCain on that long Senate record we’re going to learn a lot about this year:

Obama is the last person in the presidential race that should be talking about anyone else’s record, since his is barely existent. He must have been speaking away from his teleprompter.

What did Obama say?

It is truly breathtaking for John McCain to talk about combating climate change while voting against virtually every recent effort to actually invest in clean energy. You don’t have to look further than the wind turbine plant where Senator McCain is speaking today to assess his commitment to this cause. While Senator McCain talks about the need to invest in alternative energy, he rejected the single biggest investment in renewable energy in history, including incentives that contributed to a nearly 50% increase in wind power generation last year, and he has repeatedly opposed renewable fuel mandates and higher fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

In stark contrast, I’ve called for a national standard to ensure that we’re using more renewable energy, an expansion of our green energy sector that would create millions of green jobs, and a bipartisan plan to double our fuel efficiency standards. That is why the American people will have a clear choice in November when I am the nominee – between a candidate who opposes real solutions to our energy crisis, and leadership that will solve it once and for all.

Say, Barack NMN Obama, have you, you know, submitted legislation? He tells us quite a bit about what he will do, but, so far, nothing more then a case of motor mouth. Perhaps Obama should recognize that it is Teddy Kennedy that is blocking the biggest wind farm, known as the Cape Wind Project, in the USA. Didn’t Teddy endorse Obama?

Kinda hard to solve problems when one never steps up to the plate.

I had wanted to post part two of the McCain interview by Bill O’Reily, but, Red Lasso is having some issues. You can try and give it a shot later, if you want. Part one seems to be hosed, too. So, let’s go with a bit of humor embeded with the truth, via Allahpundit, who calls this “the last consolation of the disgruntled Hillary supporter..” I just call it funny, witty, and, hopefully true come the morning of November 5th.

Seriously, only in Liberal World©

Following in the footsteps of other bloggers like Jeralyn Merritt and Armando, I must urge the superdelegates, the media and other creative class left blogs to be aware of something before it is too late. I’ve crunched the numbers, looked them over again and again, then again with a sprinkling of eye of newt and found the weakness in Barack Obama’s candidacy:

He’s getting too many votes.

OK, Olliver is saying this tongue in cheek, or, he’s applying a bit of kryptonite to a few fools (yes, I know most won’t get that reference to Olliver’s old weblog header)

Just a little humor to brighten your day. Lord knows it is really, really, really unusual for someone on the Left to post something funny.

Seriously, Harold Meyerson should be hired by the NY Times. His editorials are that funny!

The relationship between Barack Obama and the white working class is beginning to resemble that between Ahab and the white whale. In state after state (Ohio, Pennsylvania and now Indiana), Obama sets out to reel in his working-class quarry, and, in state after state, it eludes him. As Obama is still the likely nominee, many Democrats fear that come November, working-class whites will pull Obama and their party down to defeat.

Obama’s problem, and the Democrats’, goes well beyond the malignant nonsense of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Ever since the New Deal coalition was smashed on the reefs of race in the mid-1960s, working-class white support for Democratic presidential candidates has hemorrhaged. Though he won a plurality of the popular vote, Al Gore lost the white working class by 17 points in 2000; John Kerry lost it by 23 points four years later. Even though, as Ruy Teixeira of the Brookings Institution and Alan Abramowitz of Emory University demonstrated in a recent paper, the white working class is becoming an ever smaller share of the overall electorate, it will remain large enough through the middle of the century that the Democrats cannot afford to lose it by Kerry like margins. But how, Democrats wonder, can they secure the white working-class vote?

How can they? Wait for it, wait for it………

Well, they could start by re-unionizing it.

He’s serious. Read the rest of it, and you will see.

They are losing the white working class because of the elitist attitudes, the constant disingenuous pandering to everyone, particularly minority groups, the constant “America SUCKS!” rhetoric emanating from DNC, the elected Dems, and the Base of the Democrat Party, their pro-criminal stances, and their trying to turn America into a Nanny and Welfare state.

The GOP loses the white middle class (as well as other voter blocks) because they do not practice what they preach. The Democrats lose the white middle class because they do practice what they preach.

Unionizing sounds more like a way of strong arming the members into voting a certain way. And it is easier to pander to unions. So, instead of addressing what the white middle class really wants, Meyerson is proposing that the Democrats artificially create new voting blocks. Great.

Found a bit of vid of Dubya at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, but, it doesn’t include this bit, unless you can get the
