Obama channels George Smathers

The artful lie & ignorant people “ In 1950, a candidate for Congress in Florida named George Smathers reportedly gave speeches to rural, uneducated voters and accused his incumbent opponent, Claude Pepper, of being “a known extrovert” who practiced “celibacy” before marriage, practiced “nepotism” with his sister-in-law, “matriculated” with women in college and had a sister who was “a thespian” and brother who was “a practicing homo sapien.” In the world of political campaigns, the story is legendary. In truth, what we know today is that Smathers crushed Pepper in that election. What we don't know for sure is what role those speeches played, if any, in his win over the popular incumbent. [Obama channels George Smathers] With all the seriousness I can muster, I'll say that damn near any Democrat running today could win his primary with exactly that speech. Add— "Niggardly!  Yessir! That's what he calls people who don't adequately contribute  to his campaign!  Calls them niggardly!"—and he would top the Democrat presidential ticket. ”
