You know, more than the smooth-talking hypocrite Obama, I've been thinking more about his base, his supporters lately. They're a funny bunch. I have been "warned" by many of them to fall in line with Obama, called names, banned from a forum for daring to speak pro-Clinton. After doing an email campaign to encourage people to look at the merits of the candidates instead of their gender or racial backgrounds I actually got a threat from one woman saying to the effect, "We know how to shut you down. We mean business."
Statistically, Obama supporters are young, under 30, idealistic and frankly a bit immature. They rightly sense that all is not right with the world and in a blind panic they have decided that the best solution to radical problems is a radical solution in the opposite direction. They don't see that radical is the problem, on either end of the spectrum.
Obama knows this and exploits it without any actual ability, nor qualifications to deliver on practical solutions. Practicality simply doesn't matter in the Obama-cult phenomenon. He knows they're coming from a point of fear and when people are afraid, they don't think so good. Add to that youth and inexperience and you have a recipe for a cult of personality. So it's no suprise how Obama can chant buzzwords to them and they latch on without questioning him. They seem to be like culties rather than sober and reflective voters. I get the feeling that he could say "We will soon be mining swiss chees on the blue moon." and if he worded it right and inserted a couple of well-timed "hope"s and "change"s in the dialogue, they would start packing for outer space.
They are so blind to reality that minorities line up behind Obama, even while they have heard of what Obama did to fellow minorities in Chicago when he ran for Senate. He even exterminated one fellow progressive minority who didn't even pose a threat to him in the polls. He danced on their heads and in utter shame he brazenly dares to borrow his singsong persona from an actual champion for minorities and true hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Obama is a man who, while simultaneously and ruthlessly clearcutting his minority competition from ballots, dared to run (unopposed) on a campaign under the platform of...get ready...take your Pepto Bismol...standing up for oppressed minorities... *urp*..
If hypocrisy was an artform, Obama would rival Picasso. He contorts facts, assumes identities and twists the ears, minds and eyes of his onlookers until they see something beautiful without question. And they defend him without hesitation. He represents to them a quick fix; not realizing that he, and politicians like him, are the very problem that needs fixing.
He runs now on a platform of change. And like his previous platform of standing for minorities (while he smashed their political heads on a rock), the word "change" in Obamaspeak is a codeword for "exactly the same as always".
"But he's so young and he looks so strong and handsome and he knows just how to speak to our hearts and minds. He swears he's all about change and he has my full support."
Sounds like me when I was in my 20s talking about a guy I met who I found out later was a player..
Ironic.
