Standing Ovation!

You know, Barack Obama went to Washington DC - and YES, he did have audacity. He had that when he went to Chicago and trashed long time community activists there and used his legal skills to get them thrown off the ballot so he could run UNOPPOSED. When you are elected unopposed, you didn't win. He was only in Chicago a few years before he did this. He's a calculated politician. And the worst kind. He has an ego the size of the North Pole. He also got - as we all know, stupid - John Kerry to let him speak at the convention in 2004. Personally, I never saw the "speech" -- check around, very few people did. No Mario Cuomo I'm sure. Just alot of flair and words. Like a big coo coo bird. He's a manipulator. I'm thinking those grandparents didn't have a chance. The poor Reverent better know at this point that he was just a stepping stone - used to network this unknown in black Chicago. So was the community entry level job - he was using it - it wasn't civic duty that drew him there. It was registering folks, getting others to work for you to make you the leader. He showed no leadership. Go look at any pictures you can find of him there. He isn't out front. He's in the back. He has used everything in his life. He thinks he's real smart. Who do you know who writes their autobiography at 40 years old. Audacity is MILD.

He got to DC in much the same way he was elected in Chicago. Only better - he ran against a carpetbagger (politician who isn't from the are) - who was also a total wingnut. He won. It's wasn't a "landslide" - it was a sure thing.

Then he gets to DC. Immediately enlists the big boys. Daschel urges him to run - even if he has no resume. He's black, it's a weak Republican year, Hillary is a woman - the Boys Club will get her out of the way for him. He even used Hillary in those early days. Here is the NY Times article about that period and how he did very little else but promote himself - everyone seems to have missed this article - but it's a great read:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/us/politics/09obama.html?_r=1&sq=obama%20star%20power&st=cse&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&scp=1&adxnnlx=1221141803-GZmYj20t8VE6+JNAHYDuFw

The Boys Club saw their chance for a puppet. He would need them. She would not. They came out on Super Tuesday evening to ambush a fellow Democrat who had 50% of the Democratic voters supporting her. They'd take care of it for him. They answered all the interview questions, came out unabashed in their hateful speak of Hillary, talked Pelosi into joining them. All her closest friends, what were they promised? Bill Richardson, the silly wannabe with the idiotic beard now? He's going through a mid or late life crisis there. He was a Judas - and with feigned outrage at the notice of it. And Lewis - now kissing back up to the Clintons. They can all go to the devil - with Obama the Done Nothing.

When they got out there in rapid order and rapid fire on Super Tuesday eve asking Hillary to withdraw for THEIR boy - they were asking 50% PLUS of Democrats to do the same. And we are insulted. We don't recognize this Party. Why should we vote for it?

Rovian Rat Democrats. The Boys Club group who have NEVER gone after a fellow Democrat the way they went after Hillary Clinton. Not because Obama is better qualified. We all know that! Not because she's a woman maybe - but maybe yes. Definitely because they would not be able to rule through her. She would not be a PUPPET for them.

Obama was so sure they had this all in the bag for him - with his cocky smile and style - two vacations since March. Virgin Islands and Hawaii. This is a tell tale sign of arrogance, not audacity. Mr. EGObama.

Everyone knows she's more qualified than Obama - and yes, Sarah Palin is nothing like her.

But Sarah Palin isn't running for President. She didn't have the audacity. She just has the intelligence - and more qualifications than the Boys Club puppet.

The Boys Club get everything they deserve for what they did to the best candidate running this year.

Mr. Dashel, Leahy, Bradley, Kerry, Dodd, Kennedy, Rockafeller, Tom Delay Pelosi, wannabe Richardson - political rapists.

They never trashed a fellow Democrat the way they trashed and ganged on Hillary. They thought we would forget.

They are finding out the power of women, the power of Small Town Bitter White Folk who have higher standards than Mr. Obama. And - we're clinging to them.

Meanwhile, the Rovian Rat Democrat Boys Club get what they deserve - a whole lot of bad karma and a puppet that cannot fool the masses with his manipulation and his club.

Sarah Palin is what the Boys Club gets.

God Bless Them.

Oh, and stamp my feet, too."

Nah, you're merely just windy,vulgar trash deluding yourself that your carpet pissing spam is original or impressing anyone at all.

Sorry Charlie. Try a productive life. You'll like it.
