We all know of people who make http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4465 choices, but what about those who make self-defeating choices over and over and over again, so magnetized are they by spouses (and others) who are bad for them? The woman who marries a drunk, then a gambler, then a philanderer – the man who marries a gold digger, then a nag, then an iceberg.
Time after time, this type ends with a variation on an off-note theme, while friends and colleagues shake their heads and remark, “But he’s so smart…she’s so experienced.”
That seems to be the universal reaction to last week’s near-implosion of Sen. Barack Obama presidential campaign, which left him the daunting challenge of explaining to a mystified electorate why his soft-spoken, non-combative, let’s-get-beyond-race-and-anger agenda has been threatened-cum-sabotaged by the people he is most attracted to.
His archrival Hillary doesn’t have this problem. After decades in the public eye, the electorate is never surprised to learn about yet another unsavory character, shady deal, or questionable legality.
But the seemingly idealistic http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4248 – who says he stands for “hope” and “change” – has now run into a firewall of opposition. Why?Who Hates Obama?
Not the American electorate, which in caucuses and primaries over the last many months has awarded him a majority of popular and electoral votes.
Not young people, ages 18 to 45, who have turned out in unprecedented numbers – into the multimillions – to register to vote and who have actually voted for him! This is remarkable given that in every election cycle Democrats have spent zillions to get out the youth vote, but always failed.
Not Independent voters who are turning out in record number to vote for the Illinois senator.
Not the leftwing media whose members have embraced his candidacy with both giddy enthusiasm and undisguised passion.
Not moneybags (like George Soros) and the Socialist and Marxist campus http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4470 who have jumped on the Obamessiah bandwagon.
So Who Does Hate Obama?
Which http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4415 have so drastically derailed the Obama juggernaut over the past few weeks? We would never have known about any of them if the liberal media had been successful in concealing what they’ve known for years. Thanks only to conservative journalists and pundits were these liberal shills dragged kicking and screaming out of their closets and forced to expose the other “close” relationships Obama has had in both his personal and political life.
