The Messianic Candidate

By now, thanks to the media, we know that Barack Obama is the new Messiah. He is a charismatic orator with a message of hope and change. He is promising that he is going to make government work for us, get rid of obscene pay for CEOs, provide us with a national health care program and much more. This is what we can expect from a Progressive candidate but let's take a closer look at this man of Hope and is he anything like the man from Hope.

On March 18, the Senator gave a speech wherein he tried to explain his black liberation minister, Jeremiah Wright. In his oration he told us that he had been in the room during Reverend Wright's castigation of the United States where Wright, among other things, called upon God to damn the United States for a host of perceived sins. But let us not forget that the day before this speech Senator Obama stated he had not been in the church during Wright's rants. Indeed Obama told us a few weeks later that he was able to stay in Trinity UCC because the Reverend Wright had apologized for his remarks. Really? Where and when did he do that?

Then we have the awkward situation with Mr. Rezko, the slum landlord and political contributor to the Senator. Obama was able to purchase his $1.5 million dollar home and the back lot with the assistance of Mr. Rezko. The original owner wanted to sell both so while Mr. Obama was able to purchase the home Mr. Rezko made up the difference with his purchase of the lot that some how became affixed to the Senator's home. The Senator constantly tells us how he can relate to us.

We now have his latest slur. While in California speaking to a group of donors he expounded on the communities in Pennsylvania where the residents had lost their jobs due to the current economic situation. He exclaimed the these people had turned to holding onto guns and religion during these trying times. How awful is that. I do believe he might have lost a few votes as well as a bit of luster on his halo.

Senator Obama is also running a very interesting set of ads in Pennsylvania. In these ads he talks about wanting to make "government work for us". That is not the function of government. He tells us that when he is president that he is going to do something about the overpaid CEOs and the obscene profits of Big Oil. He wants to end the Bush Tax cuts and in particular wants to raise the Capital Gains tax to 25%-30%. This combination would give us the largest tax increase in our history and you can bet the ranch it will not be a tax increase for the rich only. He wants to stop the war and spend that money at home. Where do you think that money, the next peace dividend, is going to go? Do you believe it will come back to you? Hardly.

Barack Obama is a Progressive who has been prepared by the likes of Kerry and Kennedy. Listen to the man when he speaks. He wants to unify us while continuing to adhere to identity politics wherein he brings up the issue of race telling us how we need to talk about it when in reality he is obfuscating the entire time. The race card is being played by the Senator to keep us apart that is the only way the Progressives can ever win. Their goal is the fulfillment of the 'nanny state" that will put the government in charge of everything and your rights will be gone. Accusing conservatives of coming into our bedrooms we have the state of California, probably the most Progressive state in the union, planning to come into the homes of the citizens and setting the thermostat and monitoring it. What do you suppose will happen next?

Many years ago Samuel Adams said, "The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men". I am going to listen to Sam Adams as should all fellow Americans and check out the characters.
