Here's a very interesting (if a little bit long) article on Sen. Obama.

July 7, 2008 | Perhaps the best key to the Barack Obama phenomenon (as opposed to Obama the man) is a book that never even mentions the Illinois senator: Rob Walker's "Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are." Observing the launch of Red Bull, an energy drink, Walker noted that instead of attempting to assert the brand's identity to a mass market, the manufacturer pursued a strategy of what he calls "murketing," sponsoring low-key events geared to distinct niches; ask any of these groups what Red Bull is and you're likely to hear a different answer. By refusing to define Red Bull, advertisers allowed each slice of its overall market to interpret the beverage for itself. Likewise, the "vagueness" that many flinty political junkies complain of in Obama permits all sorts of disparate people -- progressives, independents, intellectuals, young people, minority advocates, renegade Republicans -- to see the reflection of their own desires in the self-described "skinny kid with a funny name."

Our nation has not always lived up to its ideals, yet those ideals have never ceased to guide us. They expose our flaws, and lead us to mend them. We are the beneficiaries of the work of the generations before us and it is each generation's responsibility to continue that work. - Laura Bush

Ecclesiastes 10:2--"A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left."

So what? You sound almost paranoid, in your attempt to try to understand the phenomenon...what on earth could it be? What cruel advantage! Hopes dim. Dreams are dashed....so much melodrama. Geeze!

Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama is:

A privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience...
By birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who has been a member of a Black-African church for 20 years...
A socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose methods are pure Alinsky...
A master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief.

Privileged? How so?
Not shared the black American experience? What? You mean "grew up in the inner city", typically?
By birth, blood and training, a Muslim????
Proof, please.
A socialist? Rooted in Marx?
You sound like such a "right wing fringe element"....truly scary. I'm not afraid of Obama...I'm afraid of you.

Yes. He is everyone of those things.

People say anything these days....where is your proof. I already know. Non-existent....but keep trying...some moron out there will believe what you're trying to sell. Maybe two.
