Back Talk

According to a Drudge Report item, Barrack Obama’s speeches are so uplifting and exhilarating that audience members are fainting. Obama is a good speaker, you know, nice voice inflections, resonant tone, good delivery; however, he has given up nothing but generalities and platitudes – a good trick if he can continue to get by with it – and stayed with the sound good, offend nobody phrases about “change, make a better America, new beginning,” blah, blah, blah. If these swooners are legitimate, I am definitely beginning to worry that H.L. Mencken was right when he said, nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people – an idea I have always resisted accepting. Obama is a first term senator with no credentials except a meager voting record that is strictly along the liberal line, no bills authored, nothing exceptional except the ability to speak well. In fact, the only way we have to know what he stands for is to look at his voting record which is pure welfare state liberalism. Yet our liberal press and the Democrat electorate are elevating him as some kind of messiah, all based upon flowery speeches. I hear Blacks calling into talk radio shows extolling the Obama virtues even though they cannot name a single specific Obama idea. Several have stated unashamedly that they are voting for him, not because they think he is the best candidate as the next leader of the free world, but because he is the same color as them. The pundits and political correctness police scold us for even thinking about making decisions about people because of their skin color, but that lofty precept seems not to apply to the Obama disciples. Someone wrote that “Barack Obama is an elevator Muzak campaigner full of all the glibbest hand-me-down myths in liberal iconography – which is probably why he's a shoo-in.” Issues such as broken borders, social security bankruptcy, medical care chaos, tax system mess, runaway tort system, bloated inept government, and cultural rot are nowhere in evidence in his speeches.
