Barry’s ‘favor factory’

Posted on February 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s ‘favor factory’

It’s official. Mr. Hope and Change is just a pol, after all, doing the bidding of his corporate campaign contributors–like so many of his predecessors–even as he rails against "the special interests." What would he do without them? Go broke, probably. Hilarity is also a hypocrite, but her pol-ness was established long ago.

Barry’s general

Posted on February 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s general

Obama may not know much about ground troops, but he’s got part of the wild blue yonder covered. Retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, a former Air Force chief of staff, is a key supporter of the candidate he praises for "real gravitas." McPeak is still a bit of a loose aerial cannon, a role he established in the first Gulf War when he stepped on some toes by declaring the campaign the first time air power had defeated a field army. But his presence in Barry’s camp shows the junior Illinois senator isn’t a total neophyte when it comes to military affairs–despite the fears of other general officers, some Air Force ones included.

UPDATE:  Protein Wisdom has a profile of McPeak which suggests Barry is securely in the surrender-in-Iraq camp, and not just lying to the lefties, like he’s lying to the rust belt on NAFTA.

Movin’ on up

Posted on February 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Movin’ on up

Even the Messiah apparently finds it hard to ignore a McMansion, even if it is in the Georgian style of the slave masters of yore and threatens to undo his reputation for purity and light. Funny how the NYTimes is, thus far, ignoring this convoluted story. Well, not really funny. For the less-convoluted version, go here.

Farrakhan’s naked kiss

Posted on February 25, 2008 | Comments Off on Farrakhan’s naked kiss

When the devil calls you "the hope of the entire world," the godly will flee from you. Not that it will impede his nomination. Probably help, at least subliminally. But outside the Loon Party, especially out here in flyover country, it could be the beginning of the end for Barry, already dubbed Messiah by more than one apostate.

MORE:  His negative polling already is surprisingly high, not what his publicity would lead you to believe.

No-guns Obama

Posted on February 24, 2008 | Comments Off on No-guns Obama

Well, almost no guns. His issues statements on his Web site specifically allow for guns for hunting and target shooting. But there was a time, not long ago, when he was for banning all semi-atuomatic weapons, and he’s still affiliated with groups out to completely ban handguns for the law-abiding. More free-fire zones for the criminals, that’s the ticket. Not that any of this is likely to become known during his "Hope!" and "Change!" revival and marketing campaign. Nor, sadly, is the partisan MSM likely to ask about it. We can only hope that McCain does. Then maybe we’ll see if "Yes We Can!" means what Barry’s past suggests it will be: a full-court presidential assault on the Second Amendment.

Tapper taps out

Posted on February 22, 2008 | Comments Off on Tapper taps out

Some journalist. Mr. T. finds the army captain who was Obama’s source for his inaccurate statements last night in Austin about the army in Afghanistan. Then, other than merely noting that the captain backs up Barry (why wouldn’t he, he was the source) Tapper doesn’t question his assertions or bother to get a second source to verify them, or even overtly notice that they contradict Obama’s public remarks. Wonder how much ABC pays for lazy work like this. Ace also takes him to task.

In case Barry’s campaign workers in the Bayou City didn’t get the word.
