Change You Can Believe In
This is the mantra from "The Man"--no, not Michelle Obama's bogeyman who keeps moving the bar ever higher (except, of course, for the Expectant First Couple). Haven't you heard, Hillary?? Barack Obama is The Man and you, my dear, are The Also-Ran.
I'm a Uniter, not a Divider
George W. Bush (circa 2000)?? Try Barack Obama (circa 2008) when his Senate record indicates anything but. Remember how Obama did not have a strong coalition of black votes prior to "The Speech" in Philadelphia in mid-March and he marveled at how he had won Iowa and Utah with all of those white votes?? What was the hesitancy among black voters at that time?? Was Barack not "black enough" for them?? It's a split verdict: Liberals believe he transcended politics to lead our society toward racial healing, whereas conservatives maintain that he played the race card to become the Black Candidate (after Hillary had cried her way to becoming the Female Candidate).
He Retorts, You Decide
Enter the penultimate victim(s): Jeremiah Wright (and the Black Church).
Followed close behind by the penultimate savior: Barack Obama.
Now for the penultimate landslide: Blacks now vote for Obama at a 9-to-1 rate.
Enlightened coincidence or condescending calculation??
New Age Transcendent empowerment or Old School Liberal victimization??
College Student Support for Obama Overwhelming
Last month's newspaper headlines announced that incoming college students in Texas needed remedial classes in English and Math to overcome their deficiencies. What happened to their high school education?? Worse yet: What happened to their supposed college education?? Now we have a deficiency in common sense and street smarts. Most of us know BS (bulls---) when we hear or see it. But our college graduates are being blindsided by BO (Barack O----) and cannot detect it. Perhaps it's because they can't smell it.
Reminds Me of an Aggie Joke...
This Aggie is walking down a sidewalk and comes upon a pile of dog poop. He stops and studies it. Stoops down to touch it--proceeds to smell and taste it. Staightens up, smiles, and walks around it thinking to himself: "Good thing I didn't step in that pile of dog poop!!" Hey, Joe College: Wake up and study, touch, smell, and taste the message that BO is shoveling your way!! If you truly are college-smart, you may be able to proclaim on November 4: "Good thing I didn't vote for that pile of BO!!"
