BO Stinks
If you’ve been here before, you know what I think of Barack Obama. I think he stinks. I think his ideas stink. I think his “Ĺ“plans”Âť for America, as vague as they are, stink. His attitude about America and Americans stinks.
Obama’s candidacy is a joke. He is an unknown entity who has been propelled by the left-loving media (and Oprah) into the presidential race. He has no relevant experience. He has no real plans. He is running on a platform of change based on some misguided belief that the general public is clamoring for it. He has bought into the media campaign trying to convince us all that we are big, bad Americans, wreaking havoc across the globe. He is merely a figure head picked by the left- wingers because they thought he had no skeletons in his closet and that he could be held up as a shining example of how successful the liberal policies of the past worked.
Turns out they were wrong. He’s a snob. He’s an elitist. He’s a sexist. He’s a typical liberal, believing he can do better for you than you can do for yourself. In other words, we’ve seen all this before. Obama is a bit further left than what the Democrats have previously proffered, but because they assume we don’t do our homework, they thought they could just run him through a few press conferences, a few grandiose speeches and he’d run away with the election.
Now it turns out the campaign trail is a bit too much for him and his not-so-blushing bride. Now he wants us to believe that by holding his wife accountable for her outrageous statements, we’ve crossed a line. Well, are they her statements or were they just written by some speech writer? Either way, she has chosen to enter this debate in a very public and controversial way. And this makes her fair game. (Of course with a little more experience under their belts, they might have realized this.)
Notice how Obama was thrilled to have his wife front and center as long as we liked what she was saying. Now that she has shown her true colors and said some pretty offensive things, she’s taken a back seat and we’re supposed to “Ĺ“lay off”Âť. Does he honestly believe we will just sit back and quietly admire his new found chivalry whereas previously she was a strong, proud, accomplished black woman? And what has changed all of a sudden that she now requires his protection ““ except the polling numbers?
What we have here is another example of Obama’s inability to understand this is the big time. He continues to illustrate his ignorance of the importance of what is at stake. Of course the anti-American views of his wife are of great concern to the American voter ““ she just might be representing us to the international community for the next four years. How dare he threaten us. After all, he’s not President yet.

Comment by White Girl from NC on 24 June 2008:
Not President YET, is the key statement! Maybe we should hear a little bit from McCain’s wife….What is her name anyway?? She’s probably loading up on the Botox…Seriously! We do live in a great country, but that does not mean it’s perfect and doesn’t need change…Take a look around at the damage Bush has caused over the last several years…He had plenty of experience and he has been a TOTAL DISASTER…People need to stop judging him b/c of the color of his skin…God made everybody, not just white people!
Comment by gopmom on 25 June 2008:
First off, ‘white girl…’, John McCain’s wife’s name is Cindy. And she is an intelligent, graceful and generous woman. Maybe if you got your news from a source other than TMZ you would know more about her. I don’t understand the violent opposition to Mrs. McCain, who, unlike Mrs. Obama, has taken a back seat in her husband’s campaign so as to keep the focus where it should be - on the candidates. Are you just a typical bitter Liberal who blindly hates people who have money? If so, put Obama on that list - he’s a rich guy, too.
As for the myth of all the “damage” Bush has done to our country, get off it already. Your guys have been in charge of Congress - where is the promised revolution? I bet you voted for him, right? That’s why you are so outraged? Please go read something other than People Magazine - Bush has not been a total disaster. We’re lucky he’s been willing to forge forward with the defense of America despite traitorous coverage by the domestic press, a Congress that wants to tie his hands and a whining, complaining and gutless population. And all while being a ‘white guy’ in a culture that thinks it’s cool to be black because that’s what they see on TV - a culture that is willing to elect a boob to the Presidency simply because he is black. Obama is qualified to make change at the McDonald’s drive-thru - not lead the most powerful nation on the planet.
Comment by Kathy in St. Louis on 25 June 2008:
It’s hard to know what conservatives mean by the accusation of elitism. So in the la la land where you abide, a bi-racial kid from a broken home is the elitist, while your hero, bush, the son of wealth, privilege and power is just an average guy? A few years back, bush gave a speech before a group of extremely wealthy and influential Republicans and during his speech he said, “This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite; I call you my base.” So which kind of elitist are you?
Comment by Boo Who on 4 July 2008:
If you people think politicians are gonna solve your problems, you have another think or two coming. Look at your history: the powerful dictators Lenin and Stalin did not eradicate poverty in Russia, let alone stop the seas from rising or heal the planet. They did manage to transfer a lot of wealth and perks into their own pockets, though. Politics is even less effective here where power is DIVIDED between the President, a self-interested Congress and the Courts. Even IF Obama had a bunch of good ideas to change America (and I doubt that he has ANY ideas except “Elect Obama”) chances are they would be unrecognizable by the time they get thru the meat grinder we call Congress. Hope and change? Stock up on your anti-depressants. Been there, done that.
Comment by gopmom on 5 July 2008:
Boo Who, you hit the nail on the head. I am a firm believer in the theory that society creates social change. It is why I continue to encourage Obama to become a minister - the non-profit sector would be served well by his dreams and platitudes. But as long as we persist in sustaining our current form of ‘government’ and the general public continues to allow and demand that that government provide for them, I will continue to vote GOP - until a viable option comes along.
Comment by Eileen on 16 July 2008:
Michelle in the White House is scary maybe the fist bump will be the new pledge of allegiance. Don’t know much about Cindy except her work with children and she has a son in Iraq. I encourage all to read the article in the Newyorker by Ryan Lizza, “Making It”. O is just another opportunitic poitician.
I got a smile on my face thinking about the values O might have learned from his mother- she chose to have her family live on food stamps (taxpayer’s expense) rather that get child support from their fathers – both had money and could have paid.
Comment by AMP on 18 July 2008:
It was funny. Well before the nomination, you might have heard me say about Obama “I don’t agree with hardly any of his politics, but I do like his non-politician approach”. Of course, the more that became known, and the more and more he spoke, he seemed to be just another one. Now, not only is he a person I disagree with philosophically, but is also a person who can’t be trusted. The fact he’s polling in first, means we’ve got a lot of stupid fellow countrymen.
Comment by gopmom on 19 July 2008:
But AMP he’s barely polling in first and opinion is moving away from him daily. My rule of thumb is if they say the margin of error is three, I give it six. Can you even trust a poll after 2000 and 2004. I think that by the time the convention comes along, we may see a super delegate swing and Hillary may still be in this. Obama’s team has really underestimated her. When I joked that maybe the Clinton’s were behind the New Yorker cover, I wasn’t joking.
We’ll have to see how he does in Iraq this week - Obamedia World Tour ‘08. I’d buy a t-shirt if I could - it may be a collector’s item come September. I’ll be watching closely because you know he’ll say something stupid or trip or even puke on some guy - it just won’t get coverage.
Comment by AMP on 21 July 2008:
GOPMom, I hope you’re right. However, apparently, according to one morning news program, a key demographic that overwelmingly has supported Obama, has been omitted from the polls. This may be enough of a vote to swing the election to his favor.
Comment by gopmom on 21 July 2008:
Which demographic is that?
Comment by AMP on 21 July 2008:
The college kids with unlisted cell phones, as well as the poor without phones. Somehow, I think they’ll amass a disgusting number of votes this time around. Then my wallet will be fully hijacked.
Comment by gopmom on 21 July 2008:
Depending on where you live, you should volunteer to be a poll worker. I know I will. I’m very interested to see how many dead people show up, how many illegals - although I’m encouraging my husband to show up as a new voter on election day to vote because if they can stuff the ballot box, so can we.
But, I still don’t believe the hype. Take a look at this from Jay Severin, here in Boston on 96.9 -
IF the horrible were to happen (i.e. President Obama) Here are 10 Things that would have to occur:
1. The students/young voter turn out is huge, historically unprecedented.
2. African-American voters (same as above).
3. Conservatives, alienated by McCain, stay home on election day.
4. McCain runs “honorable” campaign, refusing to criticize Obama’s politics.
5. The media referees the rules such that McCain is evil, Obama a saint.
6. There is a new “electoral map”, whereby a Democrat can win without white, blue collar voters.
7. Clinton primary voters give in and turn out for Obama.
8. Independents break big for Obama.
9. Obama actually does pulls some Republican votes.
10. The Libertarian Presidential Candidate (Yes, there will be one) draws a tiny number of votes…but just enough to make a difference in a close race.
That is, A Perfect Storm of highly unlikely, unprecedented events - nothing less than a profound, historical sea change of American culture and politics - all combining to elect Obama.
I don’t see how he can win. Remember, all the polls were wrong in 2000 and 2004 - the media does not want to believe another Republican will win so they only report polls they like. Plus, who relies to polls - angry, spiteful, whining Liberals and Independents. Yes, Conservatives are pissed McCain is our guy but we’re not stupid enough to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The more “pop”-ular Obama gets, the more likely he is to propose policy that will sink him. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, November is a long way away. Plus, he might just get a bit too cocky in Europe and say something offensive about Americans - that will seal his fate.
Comment by AMP on 22 July 2008:
Jay also said Obama could go to Hawaii, sit on the beach, and wait for the election and win as well.
Even FOX reported the issue of the missing people in the polls — especially the college students, who look to be a HUGE turnout this year, but are rarely polled.
I hope you are right, as Obama scares me, but I fear unless something catastrophic happens, we’ll see our next irish president: Barry O’bama

Comment by maxoutkast on 28 October 2008:
I already voted for Obama, so have millions of Americans! Its sad to see people so mislead and bitter over their own misguided views. It really is. I’m just glad that there are enough decent, level-headed people left in this country, to at least give Barack Obama a chance to tell his story, and to explain his ideas of where and what America should be. Ideas of which I enthusiastically support.
We experimented with the guy you “wanted to have a beer with”, now lets try a man who’s REAL American story will guide his conscious.
Comment by gopmom on 29 October 2008:
Millions have already voted for McCain, as have I, so that I can spend the next six days campaigning. I’d be happy to give Barack a chance to tell his story. As a matter of fact, I’d love to sit down with him and hear the REAL story. This game of cat and mouse is getting fatiguing.
While it is so nice to hear that your enthusiastically support his ideas, I think you need to go the extra step and explain to the rest of us what exactly those ideas are. Other than the “redistribution” bit - I think I understand that one quite well.
I’m curious, though, to hear how McCain’s story is not a real American story. A man from a family that has served for generations, nearly lost his life doing the same, dedicated his life to public service and now would like to institute the reforms that his life’s work have showed are necessary. McCain is not Bush, if he was, I would have come out for him sooner. If that’s the only criticism you can come up with, you have been misguided yourself - by hatred and resentment - truly appropriate emotions to consider when picking the next President. ***sarcasm alert***
Comment by Peg on 27 November 2008:
As a non US citizen who has recently moved to the states, I am somewhat detached from American politics, and somewhat bemused by it all. I think that your system of either/or politics courts disaster - worse when the “ultra” left or right (like the GOP) are in power. Anyway, this is not the point I would like to make. I am shocked - SHOCKED that anyone has the nerve or stupidity to refer to Bush as a competent president. Oh, I know, he is a puppet of evil corporate forces, its not entirely his fault, but still. Hello, His response to Katrina anyone? His voting down Healthcare for all American children? False pretences for a war that has killed too many of your young men and women and divided your country? I could go on but you know the rest. Bush does not deserve your or anyone’s kudos. What he did deserve was impeachment. But at least he will have the shame of being referred to as the worst president - ever. Or at least that is the way the rest of the world sees him. I am guessing the opinion of the rest of the world (vs. the whack-job GOP die-hards) is not wrong.
Comment by Alec on 6 December 2008:
Oh yeah. Totally… his candidacy was SUCH a joke… I mean…. completely…
there’s like…
NO way that he’ll be elected as pre-
wait…
what?
You mean… he’s the president elect?
Comment by wrench on 7 December 2008:
Alec, He is not president elect yet.
Comment by stella on 11 December 2008:
Well, here we go. I am in shock that our counry would elect a man with a shady past, instead of a true statesman.
It really was (is) a “perfect storm.” People hurting, without jobs, healthcare, losing homes. A war that drags on; too many killed and wounded. Then along comes this dude with all we want to hear.
He speaks with a golden tongue and we perk up and stare into his eyes and become entranced.
His campaign took a page from Karl Rove and pounced on 16 “battleground,” states with millions of people and dollars.
Even my kids voted for him and seem to adore him. I blame myself for telling them to watch cartoons when they were little. I think they are too tied to the media. They all seem intelligent in so many other ways.
There are too many people that think Obama can do no wrong. I am afraid he is going to break a lot of hearts and make old Bush look good.
Maybe, if the Electoral College was abolished we could have an honest election for one of the most powerful, enduring, respected positions; instead of acting like it’s a game; God bless us all every one.
Comment by LOUDelf on 11 December 2008:
Stella,
I actually like the Electoral College. I believe it’s been only three times in US history that the Electoral College did not reflect the popular vote. The main reason for its existence nowadays, is to give the whole country a vote; It forces politicians to campaign not just the largest 10-25 cities, but in states like Maine, Kansas, and so on.
I’ve likened Obama to a snake-oil salesman. Many people used to get sucked in by their lofty promises of vitality, intelligence, and so on, much like Obama successfully convinced 52% of the country that McCain was George W. Bush, experience and who your influences are have no relevence when picking something as trivial as president, and that our country is so broken that we have to radically change everything to get it working again, all at the expense of a select few. Somehow people bought into it… just like a year’s supply of snake oil.
