Grim Forecast for the Obamessiah
Gerard Baker has some grim news for the Obamessiah and his followers:
[A]s cruel geography and the selfish designs of the American Founding Fathers would have it, Europeans don't get to choose the US president. Somewhere along the way to the Obama presidency, somebody forgot to ask the American people.
And wouldn't you know it, they insist on looking this gift thoroughbred in the mouth. Who'd have thought it? You present them with the man who deigns to deliver them from their plight and they want to sit around and ask hard questions about who he is and what he believes and where he might actually take the country. The ingrates!
Obama's lead, based on frothy media hype and never that big to begin with, has already evaporated. Most people outside the MSM have noticed that Obama has no qualifications to be President, and that "Hope" and "Change" are vacuous platitudes, not policies. Russia's belligerence has reminded people that we live in a real world, full of real dangers, and we need a real leader — not an affirmative action post turtle who plays one on TV.
Obama has gone as far as he's likely to with his cult of personality. As Baker concludes, "the uncomfortable truth for the many devoted fans of Senator Obama is that the more the race is about him, the less likely he is to win it."
On a tip from Byron.

Obama needs go get out and meet the people more. He needs to do more townhall meetings.
But the more people know about the guy, the less likely they will support him. Big problem. Maybe he'll be talked into withdrawing by the DNC. Otherwise, dems lose bigtime in Nov.

Never underestimate the power of white guilt. Once I'm in office you racist crackers are all getting shipped off to the labor camps, starting with Van Helsing.

Feeling a little less anxious about the November elections, thanks principally to the Messiah hissef, who continues to utter profundities like "China's infrastructure is superior to ours," and "McCain jumped the gun ('that damned cowboy!') by immediately demanding that Puke-in get the hell out of Georgia" (to paraphrase).
Barry's newness has more than rubbed off; he's attracted just about everybody he can with his vacuous message of "change" and "hope" and is highly unlikely, now, to bring in any more drones to his cause.
McCain has (incredibly) actually turned around his duller-than-dull campaign and started to bring in folks who realize that Doh!bama is all style (and not too damn much of that) and no substance. Now if he will just pick a conservative running-mate, he will have more than just a chance -- he could take between 40 and 45 states come November.
The Messiah could help McCain out, of course, by choosing Biden or some other pathetic loser, but he'll probably go with Pelosi's chosen one, that unknown Congressman from Texas (can't even remember his name, off the top of my head -- yes, he's quite memorable, that guy, whoever the hell he is . . .).

You're not suggesting that Obama would pick Ron Paul based on Pelosi's advice? Ron's nutty but he's not that nutty.

Anon. -- Not Ron Paul, but some kid Congressman, whose surname I believe is "Edwards," no relation to Little Johnny from NC, caught with his pants down.
Pelosi, et al., will "advise" Doh!bama throughout his (brief) presidency, if he wins in '08, like puppeteers filling the empty suit that is the Messiah.

Well, jc14, you called it. BIDEN! Slow Joe. I thought there was a limit to how bad a hair transplant could be before it disqualified you for public office.
Anyhow, I'm actually real happy. He has a huge ego, LOTS of soundbite-friendly one-liners just MADE for Republican attack ads, a lot of negative rhetoric leveled at his new boss...I mean, if McCain loses now, it's his own fault. I'm not discounting the frenzy of the Obamaniacs, but seriously...this was a BIG misstep.
