It’s over, and Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States of America.
I congratulate him and his supporters, and I’m glad we have elected the first black President, even if I think he’s a socialist.
He’s OUR President. Not just you who voted for him and support him, but […]

From a friend (who shall remain nameless but did vote for Obama):
- Idiot white guy comes along when times are good…
- Idiot white guy ruins everything….
- Idiot black guy is hired to fix things - promising change…
- Idiot black guy makes change after change after change….
- Idiot black guy makes things worse…
- 4 years later […]

This particular supporter seems to have not gotten the memo about Obama not being a socialist.

UPDATE: Compare and contrast.

Esquire has a feature up where they interview several white-supremacists (and one black-supremacist) and ask them their views on the election. You’d think their answers would be obvious, but you’d be wrong :
In an informal Esquire survey, three out of four white supremacists prefer Obama, while McCain is the clear favorite among black nationalists. […]

The LA Times has admitted in its pages possessing a video from a 2003 dinner in the honor of Rashid Khalidi in which Obama gave a “special tribute”.
From the LA Times article:
It was a celebration of Palestinian culture — a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell […]

So does anyone still maintain he is not a socialist after listening to that?
Here’s a transcript of the money quote (emphasis mine):
If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, […]

The New York Times revealed something interesting about their editorial borad’s thought processes in their long expected Obama endorsement.
Mr. Obama is clear that the nation’s tax structure must be changed to make it fairer. That means the well-off Americans who have benefited disproportionately from Mr. Bush’s tax cuts will have to pay some more. Working […]

For a certain unnamed Øbama fan who doesn’t think he’s a socialist and doesn’t understand why I think he’s a socialist.
This is a series of articles which is meticulously researched and footnoted, it might serve as an eye opener. I’m not expecting to change anyone’s mind, but you should learn a little […]

Øbama in Virginia:
Øbama poked fun of McCain and Palin’s new “change” mantra.
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”
“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”
“We’ve had enough of the same old thing.”
So is John McCain the […]

The mysterious Spengler on Obama:
That is why McCain will win in November, and by a landslide, barring some unforeseen event. Obama is the most talented and persuasive politician of his generation, the intellectual superior of all his competitors, but a fatally insecure personality. American voters are not intellectual, but they are shrewd, like animals. They […]

Great sum-up of the speech here.
Despite the Clinton years, the Democrats seem to be stuck to some considerable degree in the 1970s and this speech would have been better given at the 1972 convention. Back then we really were isolated because of a war, faced unfriendly governments even in the West, had genuine economic problems […]

Interesting article in the New Yorker on Obama’s Chicago rise. Some of his early supporters from the south side seem pretty disillusioned by the socialist Messiah.
Preckwinkle said, “My view is you have to bring your constituency along with you. Granted, you have to make some tough decisions. Granted, sometimes you have to make decisions […]

An interesting item from the BET awards :
“If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America,” Sean “Diddy” Combs told the crowd Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium before chanting “Obama or Die” - a declarative remix of his neutral “Vote or Die” motto from the 2004 […]
