Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    Not working class, not hero

    You mean working class fraud. I will give him credit for being a silver tongued devil, but that's the sum of it. The media has been crushing on him since the beginning of this campaign so he's gotten more than a free pass. They make excuses for everything he does. His campaign doesn't have to spin his faux pas anymore, Harry Smith & Tim Russert will handle that for him. He feeds his children a steady diet of resentment & hate whitey & jews, " it's okay, all black churches do that". Obama's lawyers foil any plans for revotes in Michigan & Florida, " he's not responsible for what the state delegations decide". His people start calling for Hillary to concede," he can't help what his surrogates do, he wants everyone's vote to count". (Although, in his first run for the Illinois legislature his lawyer paid the other candidates to bow out.) You have to hand it to him, he's an ace con man. It shouldn't take people too long to figure out he's not at all what he claims. I just hope its not too late before Kerry & friends hand the presidency to the Repubs AGAIN.
