MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

I really think Barack Obama believes we’re stupid

I’m already tired of talking about the latest Wright Eruption, but this pretty well sums up my sentiments about Barry Obama’s presser today.

I don’t think anyone believes Barry is of the same mindset as Wright; his problem is the fact that he’s a coward. While Oprah Winfrey and no doubt hundreds of others over the years found Wright’s tenor unsettling enough to leave, Obama didn’t have the guts to do so himself. He didn’t have the sense to understand that this bomb-thrower would end up being a problem. Maybe he thought only racists would vocally object to Wright, I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter, though. What matters is Barack Obama is obviously not a good judge of character, doesn’t understand most Americans, and doesn’t have the courage to speak the truth to the man for whom he named his autobiography until he is in a desperate situation. Note that this is the same Presidential candidate that can’t take the heat from reporters in the debates or when asked questions outside a formal, staged setting. This is the same guy who refused for two years to go on Fox News, for crying out loud. (What kind of unity is that when you avoid a large swath of voters? But I digress.) What the hell is he afraid of? If he can’t handle questions from a mostly friendly press (and that includes Fox News!), how on earth is he going to handle the really difficult questions that arise as President?

Obviously I have no intention of voting for Barry Obama and his tired old quasi-socialist, Chicago Democrat machine, hopey-changey, self-indulgent ideas, anyway. But damn. I’ve said in the past that if I were a dopey lib, I’d probably end up voting for Barry - although I really don’t know, because I can’t imagine being a lib, and I find no reason to vote for him other than the fact that his last name isn’t Clinton. I sure wouldn’t now, though. But then, if I were a lib, I’d probably not care so much about having a President/Commander in Chief with cojones, with intestinal fortitude, while we’re at war or otherwise. I’m sure he does want to be a candidate for “unity,” but he’s not a legislator of unity, and he’s not chosen to disassociate from divisive, hateful people. Not until it was a political necessity, that is. His public persona is just as illusory as his campaign of Hopey-Change. “This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen,” as Slick Willie correctly said.

I do feel a measure of compassion for Obama’s predicament; he was right when he said Wright showed no consideration for him or his campaign. He was absolutely betrayed by this vengeful, narcissistic man. People will say Obama threw Wright “under the bus” (man, I’m sick of that phrase), but really, Wright threw him under the bus yesterday when he went out and threw fuel on the fire. Wright is out for himself, his own glory. But all that said, Jeremiah Wright is quite arguably the same pastor he met twenty years ago.

Obama must think us all bitter morons to try and pass off this embarrassment as the product of some kind of ideological evolution on Wright’s part.

We’re ignorant, so we’re full of hate. Bitter.

I may change my opinion of this for better or worse as time goes on. A lot of that is going to frankly depend on how this evolves, and you can be sure of one thing - it will continue being part of Obama’s story, whether Obama and his supporters like it or not.
