All right. I’ve had it. Whoever this author is, he isn’t stupid. He’s putting words together and making sentences. But he’s lying.

He knows Obama is a phony. He knows Obama is a liar too. And I even suspect he knows he’s unqualified to be President. But for some really disturbing reason, this doesn’t matter to him.

I thought we’d put the “you’re all racists around here” behind us. Every time anyone tried to point out Obama’s alarming associations or deficiencies, the lefties would come out throwing that tired canard around. I was rather enjoying the quiet for the last week or so.

But this author knows the truth. He wants to distract us and try to intimidate us. That guilt he’s trying to serve up won’t work on voters in the General; I’ll leave it to him to figure out how effective it’s been on liberals.

What’s been revealed so far – and there’s more to come – of Obama’s radical past puts him so out of touch with most Americans that even many Democrats – the level-headed ones anyway – can’t vote for him. Wright isn’t Obama’s only problem. And the author knows that too.

No amount of dancing around crying “race” is going to stop us from continuing to awaken the public to the dangers we see for our nation should he be elected President.

The author writes “…this is the first time in our nation’s history that white voters have a chance to vote for a black candidate for president…” As if this should be the only consideration.

There could hardly be a more foolish reason to vote to put a man in the highest office in the land. And this author knows it. He’s not that stupid.

But he hopes you are.
