Learn more about Barack Obama

While I was scanning National Review’s The Corner blog earlier tonight, I came across a link to a fantastic blog that covers a variety of issues, but which is paying special attention to the candidacy of Barack Obama, and digging deeper than just the mythical fantasy candidate the MSM are making him out to be. To find out what the media won’t dig into, please bookmark Steve Sailer’s blog – specifically the Obama category and keep visiting. Excellent, excellent stuff there.

In fact, for the last several days I’ve been contemplating on developing a special section of this blog devoted to the candidacy of Barack Obama, digging deeper and focusing more on the man behind the “Barack star.” He might have the momentum swinging his way right now, but the Dem nomination is still up for grabs – and as the media begins its full-scale push for their Golden Boy to win the 2,025 delegates he needs to seal the deal, I think it will and should be the responsiblity of conservative bloggers to go the extra mile the media has and will continue to fail to do in informing voters about who Barack Obama is, and what he stands for.

Consider this: Two recent different Democrat focus groups could not name a single Barack Obama accomplishment (save one) yet they still supported him. This is awful.

Responsible conservative bloggers need to step up and get the word out.

In the wake of recent negative comments about Hillary Clinton made by MSNBC commentators, Chris Matthews and David Shuster (both of which were inappropriate in my view), Hillary Clinton is now claiming that she is the target of unfair treatment by the news media. Not just talk radio or Fox News, mind you, but the mainstream news media, particularly NBC and MSNBC, the most liberal network out there.

In Mrs Clinton’s interview with Katie Couric this week, she was asked about this and answered that she is,in fact, being treated harshly by the news media.

Hillary, welcome to the world!

First of all, as I have stated repeatedly, Mrs Clinton is running for president. It comes with the game. She is no stranger to hardball; she plays it extremely well herself. But if she wants to be president, she has no business complaining.

It wasn’t too many years ago when Mrs Clinton was telling Matt Lauer that she and her husband were victims of a vast right-wing conspiracy when reports were coming out about Monica Lewinsky, as if Monica was a Republican undercover agent.

Now she sees that she is not the preferred candidate of everybody in the news media. As it stands now, it appears Obama is the darling of the MSM. So does that mean that Hillary is now the victim of a vast left-wing conspiracy? Actually, Hillary can take heart that this can be a fleeting phenomena. The MSM is also supporting John McCain on the Republican side. But what if the final campaign comes down to Hillary and McCain? You can bet your bottom dollar that the MSM will turn back to Hillary and start bashing McCain.

Mrs Clinton does not wear victimization well. In reality, she is nobody’s victim. On the contrary, she has left a trail of victims in her wake. As I write this, it is being reported that she has now lost Virginia, Maryland, and DC, and another Clinton assistant campaign manager, Mike Henry, has been canned.

Don’t give up, Hillary. Just keep calling those super delegates and firing people.

Maybe the suit isn’t so empty after all. Is it being replaced by Castroite military fatigues?

Remember, Obama won’t wear a flag lapel pin…but IBD reports about an Obama volunteer office where a Cuban flag and Che Guevara picture are prominently displayed. That, apparently, is acceptable in his campaign.

Quick Google search of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and Fox News web sites finds…nothing. Surprising, I know.

I did manage to find a video at the Fox Houston affiliate here.

Question: Think the MSM would be quiet about it if an Republican candidate’s volunteers were found to have an office where a Confederate flag dominated the decor? Me neither.

Hey GWR,

The IBD link doesn’t work … is this the link you are talking about?

You are right – if this were a volunteer office for a Republican candidate with a Confederate flag hanging in it, the MSM would have already descended down on the office en masse like a pack of rabid wolves.

But not yet: we want Mr Obama to win the Democratic nomination.

In my opinion, he’d be easier to beat than Hillary Clinton, though a lot of people disagree with me. But either the Democratic or Republican presidential nominee will become the next president, and while we wouldn’t want Mr Obama to win, that’s a clear sight better than Hillary Clinton becoming the next president!

Even if I thought that Mr Obama had a better chance against John McCain than Mrs Clinton, I’d rather have an increased probability of an Obama presidency than take a chance on a Clinton one.

ST – yes, it’s the same item, but in a different page from where I read it. As long as the content’s the same, that’s all that matters. Thanks!
