#3 ``But I have not thought about it with the seriousness and depth that I think is required.''
Neither has the MSM.
Obama's legislative record, both at the state and Federal level, will certainly be enough to disqualify him in successfully running for president, as far as the center-right is concerned. Also, his phony Kumbaya Christianity (the only type the atheist and agnostic fundamentalists in our cultural elite tolerate) is self evident.
Notwithstanding, Time magazine last week ran a carefully crafted puff piece about him, making it seem like he's the ideal candidate for our times (at least from their POV); strong on all the luvvy-duvvy, turn-my-cheek, "social justice" funded by taxes aspects of religion and yet vehemently opposed to any judgement of good vs evil, self-sacrifice and self-control, and rules of morality that are the other side of the coin. In other words, they're trying to craft him as Christian enough to interest the Democrats' and independents' shrinking religious base but not so much so that he'll scare off the atheist evangelicals at the far left of the party.
It's a measure of how out of touch the MSM is when they don't realize that the center and right can see right through this crap. We already had a phony centrist Trojan horse for the left in Bill Clinton. And we already had a "liberation ideology" (ie., Marxism and moral relativism hiding behind a Bible) president in Jimmy Carter. We remember. |
(Bloomberg) -- Senator Barack Obama of Illinois said he is considering seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, departing from previous statements that he planned to remain in the Senate through 2010.
