Hey, what’s your middle name anyway, Hussein or Osama??
I’m Gandalf, the Grey Mullah…
Larger question, do you notice a pattern? All these people out there insinuating Obama is dumb, unqualified, uninformed, uneducated, incompetent? It seems to recur, over and over again, implication being Obama is the affirmative action candidate.
It’s racist. I believe it’s intentional, by design and probably originates with the political machines (Clinton and now Repubs), designed to undercut Obama’s support among people with possibly racist tendencies.
Both McCain and Obama are qualified to be President, two of the better candidates we’ve had in years. Obama’s an extremely smart person, by any measure out there.[/quote]
That racist bit may be true but so what?
(Here is the contrary bit in me coming out)
To quote my favorite television show, the game is the game. It was true in 2000 when the media was hating on Gore (and no, I don’t buy that as a good reason for losing) and it was true when Hillary tried to go for it.
However, the argument that he is dumb or uninformed just does not square with his record, credentials, or his political performance. If people want to disagree with his actual policies, they could make strong arguments (but crappier soundbytes). Thats was the sheer joy of the debate with surveyor. Just assertions backed up by soundbytes and underpinned by pundit pieces. Real deep.
The interesting bit is having someone I actually (mostly) agree with in a position to win.
Don’t know if he’ll make it but it sure is fun to listen to loyal bushies make fun of Obama’s misspeaks in the mean time.
Also, my last name is Cassidy but we’re from the part of Ireland that had the O’Samma clan. They had chieftans that prayed to Faeries 5 times a day.
