Obama Turns to Chicago Gangland Style Politics


Obama - Gunslinger? Or Midnight Cowboy

It was only a matter of time before the Democrat nominee began to exhibit who he really is - an opportunistic political hack. In a recent fundraiser in Philadelphia, the gangland Chicago style politics that are part and parcel of Mr. Obama’s meteoric rise game spewing out of his mouth – as if he could not stop himself. Obama on the GOP: “If they bring a knife to the party – we bring a gun”. (Politico commentary here )

So, the guy that is not sure how many states are in the union believes that bibles and guns are a crutch for those American’s who are frustrated with their lives, and cannot live without a teleprompter – now wants to engage in a street fight.

Not for nothing: Barack Obama, an Illinois State senator, (check Chicago paper archives for real insight), decided to run for the Senate, the field of contenders was lackluster at best, and his ability to give a rousing speech, made him a favorite. The seat had been held by a Republican – the Republican ran into a bit of a scandal, and would not run again, this left the Republican Party in Illinois no time to come up with another candidate – they finally and at a late hour, convinced Maryland’s Alan Keyes to try and save the day – to no avail. Barack Obama advanced to the US Senate, virtually unopposed.

So, how on earth will he win a real contest? Obviously his mantra of change and his claim to be a political outsider are pure bunk.

Notably, this particular statement is receiving no traction in the basic press – they are still focused on Mike Huckabee’s comment on Obama and guns made at an NRA convention.

McCain’s Camp and the RNC need not worry overmuch – Opportunists are not always the brightest bulbs in the pack, and Obama fits the mold. It is not wonder that he does not want to face McCain in any debate format that cannot be controlled. Opportunists are also cowards. Great speaker though, but that is all he can bring to the table – unless of course, someone unplugs the teleprompter.
