To the American Idol crowd, the typical Obama foreign policy stump speech might sound appealing.

To others, the same speech might sound terribly naive and immature.

To those appreciative to the nuances of political theatre, the same speech sounds like a press release from Socialist International.

Obama’s stance on foreign policy is not naive or immature, it’s socialist.  This is what socialists sound like. He’s not urging for more solidarity between the leadership of our nations.  He’s calling for enhancing the prospects of the Socialist International.  And he’s charging dumb Americans 20 bucks a pop to be part of it.  One hell of a campaign strategy.

No dialog between the US and these iddy biddy countries?  Even his own political machine has its own Congressional backchannel to talk with them (and their terror-loving proxies!).  For what reason?  To lend support to the opposition of the Colombian Free Trade deal. . . . an assistance welcomed by various regional socialist congresses. . . . Very nice indeed.

So, yeah, let’s have the that dialog, if only to covertly undermine US foreign policy.

Top ‘democratic’ shows he’s still got what it takes to continually misrepresent simple spoken American language.

Visiting Hamas leadership is bad enough, but placing a wreath on the grave of a despicable terrorist is either just braindead, anti-American, or very corrupt—or all three.

I have to go on the road for a couple of days, but here’s a goody to chew on:

Election 2004 - The nation is at war. The “right kind” of military experience is needed in order to lead the nation through this troubling time. We don’t need a President “renting a flight suit” just to dress up in military attire (even though said President was actually a former military pilot). . . . The Democratic candidate must have some military experience.

Election 2008 - The nation is at war.  Military experience just isn’t that important in a candidate.  Hell, even John McCain doesn’t have the right kind of military experience to be President.

When there’s nothing around but (strange) overenthusiasm, that might be an indication that there’s not a whole lot there.  Even some of the left feels a little weirded out.  Things are getting a little Chavista on the campaign trail.

Witness how manufactured zeitgeist can compensate for a complete lack of substance.

Consider this the point at which reverent adoration became sick idolatry.

Hoping to appeal to progressives, liberals, socialists, and whole-grained fascists across America, Hillary Clinton suggests that she would be open to the idea of garnishing the wages of American workers who refuse to buy mandated health insurance

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC’s “This Week,” she said: “I think there are a number of mechanisms” that are possible, including “going after people’s wages, automatic enrollment.”

Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, “it will be affordable for everyone.”

This is beyond insane.  Have at it, you Marxist ass-hats.

. . .which really is an immature reason to vote.  Do Americans really know anything about government and oversized bureaucracy?

Do Americans honestly believe that the Obama™ brand will impart real change in Washington when the apparatus controlling his every appearance and scripting his every word already controls most of the (supposedly) despised Washington establishment?  Whether it’s Obama, Clinton, or even McCain, it’s  “Honey, which color scarf should our little Establishment wear today?”

So yeah, let’s vote for “Change”.

“The problem is that Sen. Obama wants us to transcend something at the same time he implicitly asks us to give that same something as a reason to vote for him. I must say that the lyricism with which he does this has double and triple the charm of Mrs. Clinton’s heavily-scripted trudge through the landscape, but the irony is still the same.”
