A Defeated Hillary’s Best Bet

There’s no need for Hillary – or any other opponent, for that matter – to tease an uninformed public with things that might not be true about Obama. I’m referring to the “muslim thing.”

Isn’t it enough to consider that his accomplishments are basically nil? At least for the people he professes to care so much about, and for whom he’s offered his services the last few decades.

For himself, well, that’s a different matter. In that regard, he’s succeeded quite nicely. And Michelle has been no less blessed. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Obama’s million dollar earmark for the hospital on whose board she served tied in quite nicely with her pay raise from @$120k to @$320k.

He has made attempts, though, to help others. If you Yahoo “annenberg chicago challenge” and scroll down to “JustOneMinute: Let’s Accept Michelle’s Invitation,” we learn of Obama’s peripheral (isn’t that always the case?) involvement in improving public education in Chicago. That the endeavor involved Bill Ayers as well, is, however, somewhat disquieting. And we get a peek into a closer relationship with the unrepentant terrorist than Obama might want.

His co-sponsoring the “Global Poverty Act” is his homage to his spiritual mentor, Wright. But this is a bill that, now out of Committee, requires careful scrutiny by the full Senate. Especially by those who appreciate our nation’s sovereignty.

Obama is not an original thinker. Nor is he a leader. Not knowing what to believe in, he follows the dictates of those around him. Whatever is convenient at the moment, and whatever serves his particular need of the moment. All the more reason to listen closely to what those with whom he has associations say and believe.

He certainly can’t tell you.
