Financial Times

Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.

“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.

OK, Obama is not a Muslim and his wife is not an atheist. But, he sure seems to like the extremist Muslim way of life, and his wife sure doesn’t seem to like the country her husband is running to lead.

No Democrat has been elected to the White House without carrying West Virginia since 1916, yet Mr Obama appears to have little chance of winning there in November. Recent opinion polls indicate that Mrs Clinton would narrowly beat Mr McCain in the state but Mr Obama would lose by nearly 20 percentage points.

The rest of the story seems to be about how racist and stupid the people of West Virginia are, nothing unusual from the Credentialed Media, but, inadvertently, the Financial Times highlights that Obama is not a uniter.

Yes, it is finally here, the eyes of the country are on North Carolina’s posterior today. Get out and vote for John McCain and Fred Smith.

An interesting interview on 680-WPTF this a.m. The host was asking some Democrat wonk about whether all these new young voters are Democrat voters or Barack voters. She said a bit of both, but, it might be interesting if he loses the primaries, because they are so emotionally invested. In other words, they are buying the hype of Mr. Hope and Change, rather then any policies he might have. Somewhere. Not sure where. I haven’t seen them.

We, the people, have been enriched by the gifts of the presence
of Barack Obama, his family, and his pastor.
Oh, I’m not saying he is the Messiah; But something is different….

Seriously, you just can’t make that stuff up.

Monday. The start of a new work week, time to get busy, shift a few paradigms, revolutionize outside the box. How ’bout a beer?

You’re saying, that wasn’t a beer commercial. Correct. But it was written by someone who was either sh*tfaced, or by people who think you are drunk because you are “bitter.” Back in 2007, FactCheck.org wrote that this was “hair-splitting” by Obama. And they mentioned it back on March 31, 3008.

Newsday mentioned that Obama took money from Greenberg Traurig, the lobbyist firm Jack Abramoff worked for. And USA Today notes that he took money from individuals working for lobbying companies, and has many recently former lobbyists on staff, which is where the “hair splitting” comes in. More hair splitting would be the massive amounts of money that Obama received through MoveOn, which also happens to be a registered 527 and also a PAC. For more on that, go here and here.

In other words, Obama is playing games. And notice that the above ad is an attack against Hillary, and does not defend against what Hillary’s says.

It may seem as if I am defending Hillary. I suppose, in an offhand way. Mostly what I am doing is highlighting Obama’s BS, since, unless he has at least one or two big meltdowns between now and the Dem convention, he will be their nominee for the Jackass Party, and I want McCain to win.

BTW, another cute “Obama Girl” type video that smacks him around on this same issue.
