For Obama, it's always been about who people hope he is, not who he actually is. (It's like infatuation; an initial rush that is eventually dimmed by reality.) I'm not even sure he's going to get the Democratic nomination--Dems better hope he doesn't, actually. McCain will simply lacerate him in the debates. Obama can't posture (duck) behind the issues forever. Jeremiah Wright is the least of his problems. Of course, if Hillary gets the nomination, the Dems will lose for a completely different reason. Not a pretty scenario for them, but that's what they deserve for fronting two such far-left-wing, unqualified candidates--and for playing the politics of polarization to such an extreme that they've fractured their own party.

He is a very poorly read man. I cannot recall Obama uttering any profound insights on any topic whatsoever. Am I exaggerating? Well, can anyone point out any instances? Even one? No, Obama is simply taking advantage of his credentials from Harvard University and other Ivy League schools. “Barry” Obama is incapable of talking straight with the American people because of his intellectual shallowness.
