Contrivance

Abomination-Obamanation

From an idea by Jonah Goldberg the day after the 2004 election. Obama was preordained. Here's another two-for-one deal.  Investor's Business Daily will tomorrow look at what's staring us in the face,  regardless of who the insurgent's candidate is. “ We scanned the transcripts of Saturday's debates hosted by ABC News and tallied up the references to Islamic terrorism. The rhetorical divide between Democrats and Republicans on that score alone — ignoring the yawning gaps in policy — is stunning. None of the four Democrat presidential candidates — despite running for an office that demands they lead the ongoing global war against Islamic extremists — could bring himself or herself to define the enemy we face as Islamic. Their combined references to "Islam" or "Islamic" totaled zero — even though moderator Charles Gibson prompted them with a question about "Islamic radicals" threatening the U.S. with nuclear terrorism. But Democrats refused to go there. Out of respect for their constituency, there was a complete blackout regarding Islamic jihad.

But is it a change from victory in Iraq to defeat, from low taxes to high and from prosperity to dependency? We too cry every time he speaks, but for different reasons [than the left media]. Obama would move America in a dangerous direction, starting in Iraq. On Oct. 2, 2002, while still an undistinguished Illinois state senator, Oprah Winfrey's choice for president explained that while he did not oppose all wars, he opposed Iraq. "What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income — to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war."   [A Barack Star In The Making] ”
