again... i was talking about obama and what seems to be a pretty clear pattern of behavior in those he chooses to surround himself with. i'm sure to some its perfectly normal for a potential first lady to stand up and let everyone know that she has always been ashamed of her own country for her entire adult life,... others might tend to question that.
this process is all about trying to figure out what these people are about. so far, obama has flown under the radar, hasn't been critically challenged by the media and has been portrayed more or less as the black messiah with idiots passing out at his conventions... and he's been careful for the most part to not let hillary drag him down into the mud where she is comfortable.
as time wears on, we find out he's buddies with a terrorist, he attends a church for 20 plus years thats run by some racist, seperatist, anti-semtic, radical wierdo who is still living in the 50s, his wife has some issues etc etc... and the list is growing.
and as i've said... the list is growing and the media hasn't even began to jump up his ass with a microscope yet. its only been happening for a couple weeks and its basically sinking his campaign. i wouldn't be too optimistic about where he'll be 2-3 months from now. it doesn't look good for him.
it took him a week just to figure out what to say about his pastor in spite of the obvious damage that was occuring. i can't really imagine him addressing Kim Jong Il or Iran or anyone else that wants to test his leadership by making threats and pushing.
i think he has a tough road ahead and anyone that is busy patting him and themselves on the back because he decided to come out of the shadows and address this last weeks blowup today, is a bit premature... once the press starts to open fire... we'll see what they hit.
you cant run an presidential race on the concept of being a unifier and agent of change when everything about your life so far seems to prove that
1) he has never done either
2) he has no experience at either
3) everything about his past and his associations seem to paint a picture that he is the exact opposite person than he has been trying to market himself as
