Infinite Monkeys
Remember, back in January, when Bill Clinton was whining in South Carolina about the press going to easy on Obama — not subjecting him to the scrutiny the media has inflicted on Hillary? I'm beginning to think he had a point. Clinton was talking about then about what we all know about now: Obama's pastor disaster.
It goes without saying that the Clinton Machine's opposition research department is without peer. They knew all about Jeremiah Wright's insane, divisive, anti-American sermons and how they could (and should) sink Obama's candidacy. But think about the pickle the Clinton camp was in.
They couldn't bring this up — not even through surrogates. Look how well Bill Shaheen's allusions to how "Republicans" would soon be bringing up Obama's admitted drug use. The co-chair of Hillary's New Hampshire effort was sacked 24 hours later. No. That episode, and even Bill's relatively gentle South Carolina complaint that Obama's anti-war stance and idea that he's got the experience to be president were "a fairy tale" brought down universal scorn and hurt Hillary. In a Democratic primary, where courting black votes is vital, you cannot be seen as attacking a black candidate.
So the Clinton Camp, knowing full well of Obama's No. 1 liability, could say nothing. It would have to be up to the press to reveal this stuff. They did, of course, but too late. Obama already has the nomination. And now the scandal is poised to torpedo the Democrats' chance to end the Republican Terror.
Imagine how different the race for the White House would be today if Democratic voters had a chance to absorb Obama's liabilities before he was crowned. In fact, only after Obama has moved out to an insurmountable lead has any scrutiny been applied to the young senator. And more damaging things will be coming.
So, just this once, I almost feel sorry for the Clintons. They were right.

Posted by Dr. Zaius at March 24, 2008 10:55 PM | TrackBackSpeaking of Obama...Would your “church,” if you fellowship with one, put on its bulletin board hateful articles from the anti-semitic, terrorist group Hamas? Barack Obama’s CURRENT church, Trinity United Church of Christ, did just that.
We just found out in the last 48 hours that Wright, while giving a eulogy in 2007, said that “(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him… The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”
Now comes a report by NBC News that while Wright was in charge at Obama’s CURRENT church, reprinted anti-Israel writings, including one column by none other than Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, appeared on the bulletin board there.
The column by the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, asked: “Why should any Palestinian recognise the monstrous crimes carried out by Israel’s founders and continued by its deformed modern apartheid state?”
The question becomes one of judgment, character, integrity, honesty and intelligence.
If I were to believe Obama’s defense that he didn’t, and still doesn’t, know what was, and still is, going on at his church for 20 years, then, in my opinion, he must not be very observant nor intelligent, and does not possess sensible judgement. Therefore he cannot be qualified to be the POTUS, in my opinion. If I do NOT believe Obama, then his integrity, character and honesty is woefully insufficient to be the POTUS, in my opinion.
Obama went to Harvard Law School (they don’t let just anybody in), where he became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude in 1991. Now do you think he is NOT aware of what his church and ex-pastor are all about? Be AFRAID! Be VERY AFRAID!
Barack Obama’s political FRAUD against the American People continues…

Do what increasingly it takes," she instructed.
The spammer almost made sense, in this context.
Or maybe I'm just drunk.
