- - - "I'm saddened by today's verdict," Obama said Wednesday. "This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew, but now he has been convicted by a jury on multiple charges that once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform. I encourage the General Assembly to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent these kinds of abuses in the future." - - - 8-| At some point people are going to wonder just how the hell this guy fundamentally misjudges so many of his close, long-time friends, associates and spiritual mentors. Can't wait to see what kind of cabinet he picks... </sarcasm> In this case his "friend and fundraiser" Tony Rezko is coldly reduced to a bullet point for government reform. Rev. Wright and Fr. Phleger, his LONG-time spiritual mentors, are callously reduced to examples of what he WON'T let his campaign become. He dithered about his wife's insult against the nation, trying to make it sound like an innocent statement made after being very tired on the campaign trail, and then removed her from prominent view other than a few high-fives at victory speeches. Talk about "Get thee behind me Satan!" I don't think Jesus said it as many times in the New Testament as Obama has had to say it the primaries alone... Hey Obama supporters...does none of this bother you at all? Really? Criminals, bigots, chronic malcontents and religious lefters (to paraphrase Leland) seem the norm among his inner circle. This guy is either a total fraud, a schizophrenic, or an ignoramus. Actually, these aren't mutually exclusive possibilities--but at least one of them must be true. Personally I think it's the first option. When you peek under the hood you see that he's a textbook left-wing nut-job, whose ostensible "ideas" are sooo early 1900's in their perspective. He masquerades as a moderate, a uniter and, most ironic of all, something fresh, hiding behind a short resume, an empty suit and some decent speaking skills. He's aided tremendously by the caliber of his competition, to boot. And BTW, did you hear Obama effectively say that never before "this moment" did we "begin" to take care of the sick, create jobs for the jobless, etc.? Is he serious? And his taking credit for the future healing of the planet... my Lord, that sounds like Edward's prophetic vision of a once-and-future John Kerry administration, raising the dead and curing the terminally ill with plain ol' embryonic stem cells. I think they all have a God complex, loathe though they may be to admit that God is even on their playing field, and their constituents have a kind of secular Jesus envy--preferring these narcissistic duds for some reason to the real McCoy. With every election cycle I grow more apolitical, if not anti-political. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
