Obama’s Sincereity?

This sounds awfully noble of him to make the following statement.

“I have said before and I will repeat again: People’s families are off limits,” Obama said. “And people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics.”

Sounds good. But there’s no getting around that he has been part of the Chicago political machine which plays dirty, vicious politics. And Obama sat by when Hillary was viciously attacked during the primaries,  until enough damage was done. Then he stepped in with similar grand statements. Some people (like me) wondered if part of his campaign wasn’t involved in the attacks on Palin’s family, in some fashion. Obama also had a response to that assertion.

“I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us,” he said. “Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired.”

OK, fine. But again, he waited a couple of days to react. Long enough for it to gather a lot of steam on the internet. And let’s not forget something, the Daily Kos and other radical sites had representatives in force at the DNC Convention where they had meetings with the campaign to plot strategy. They are not just sitting idly on the sidelines.

Of course, there is no “proof” of a connection. It’s an old political game to get proxies to do the dirty work for you so you can deny it later.

But this is one of the lowest attack in recent memory. It shouldn’t be forgotten. And they are still at it if you read the comments in that Politico article. Watch how that call Republicans hypocrites and haters while spewing bile for 40 yards. Some of these people are trying to out do Linda Blair.

UPDATE: Busted! Red State has been able to come to the same conclusion, but they have plenty of evidence it was Obama using Kos as proxies.

Re attacking family:

IMHO, if they insert themselves in with speeches and campaigning, then they are fair game. Like Bill Clinton. Or Michelle Obama.

I lived in Chicago for 3 years while going to school. 

In some ways, it was a very nasty place because of the racial politics.  You couldn’t cut through it with a steak knife…  It was that bad at times.

The home of Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, and other race baiters and outright racists—people are surprised that Obama should be cut from the same cloth?

They’re already forgetting about his church which is NOT mainstream Christian but more along the lines of Nation of Islam?

I agree.  Obama’s a hypocrite and opportunist.

When the time comes and there is a Black candidate whose politics, world outlook, and economic plans are in synch with my own ideas, I’ll vote for him.  Obama is so far out of touch with my own sense of reality that there is no way in hell I’d vote for the guy.

It’s that simple.

Despite what the Democrats think, most Americans would probably vote for a black candidate. A lot of people probably want to vote for a black president, as a sign that America isn’t really racist. But Obama isn’t that guy. He appeals to a lot of people, but not as many as the media wants us to believe.

I don’t think he’ll even come close to winning despite what the polls say now. And it won’t be because of racism.

There’s a reason why I call the Windy City the Народный Социалистический Город-Государство Чикаго!

Which means?

I know comic book fans visit this blog, but do we honestly need another “Kryptonian decoder ring” to read Macker’s comment?

According to Google Translate, it means:

People’s Socialist City-Chicago State
