Obama’s Campaign Gets a ‘Do-Over’

Obama probably stanched the bleeding among those who want to believe in him, but anyone of a skeptical bent who can actually think for themselves still has to deal with these options.

Either:

1. Obama is a hard-left America-hater like Wright, Ayers, etc., who tried for 6 weeks to avoid publicly breaking faith with his co-believers, and finally made the cynical, political decision that he had to publicly renounce Wright (acting as a politician, just like Wright said) and pretend he doesn’t believe what he really does; OR

2. For 20 years, Obama made and lived with a cynical decision to join Trinity, and buddy up to people like Ayers to curry favor with his South Side Chicago base, and the statements in his books, published interviews with Wright and him, and so on are to be discounted, but he has now risen above that base and can now honestly proclaim that isn’t him at all (tho he refused to do so in Philadelphia on March 18); OR

3. He is the worst judge of character since Bush said he thought Putin was a good guy, if not since Chamberlain said Hitler was a man of his word.

People who care can argue about which of those is true, but I know all that I need to know re Obama’s fitness to be President: he ain’t. He either hates America, built his political career on a tissue of lies, or is a fool. Whichever is the case, he shouldn’t be President.
