Senator Obama is running for has been elected to the office of US President, yet his beliefs and political positions are
all but completely unknown to most Americans. He is a man with no great record of accomplishments
in the Senate, yet the national news media constantly gush over Barack Obama. Seldom is heard a
discouraging word about the man, even though nobody really knows what he stands for. The only
thing that distinguishes him from the rest of the Democratic front-runners (in the eyes of the media) is
his ethnicity. Apparently that's all it takes.
Enthusiastic crowds of Obama fans cheer as he promises to have the federal government pay for medical bills,
cheap and abundant energy, college tuition, and a long list of other goodies. Very few of them give the
slightest thought to important questions like, "Where is he going to get the money for all this?"
Upon close examination, his speeches are all sizzle and no steak — just a mass of flag-waving
rhetoric. And it's not necessarily the American flag he's waving.
James Taranto, writing recently in the Wall Street Journal,
castigates
people like me and
Bill Cunningham
for referring to this man as "Barack Hussein Obama." ("How would Mrs. Clinton like it if people started
calling her 'Hillary Ruhollah Khomeini'?") But this is not an ad hominem attack or a
pejorative slur -- the man's name is in fact Barack Hussein Obama.
Update:
Mr. Obama won the November 4th election. If only this page had been visited by more people, perhaps
we could have had Socialism Lite instead of Socialism Concentrate. Indeed, those were our only
viable options. The Republicans ran such an anemic and half-hearted campaign, they deserved
to lose. John McCain was afraid to bring up half of the subjects listed below, but I'm not.
