It had to happen.
For most of the election coronation, Our Saviour has been walking on water, communing with the higher elementals of the celestial plane, and making Grand Plans.
…and then came Sarah.
The Government Class hasn’t handled it very well. In fact they have handled it so badly, that even some of their own have begun to take notice. They unloaded with both barrels on Sarah The Fair and succeeded mainly in shooting themselves in the foot.
Governor Palin has so rattled the Government Class, that one of them, His Celestial Majesty Barrack Hussein Obama called her a “pig.”
Now, in defense of the comely Gov, let me just say this:
“Senator, I have known some pigs. Pigs have been friends of mine. Mr. Obama sir, Sarah Palin is no pig!”
But really, the redoutable Mrs. Palin hardly needs my defense. The more interesting thing here is how quickly The Enlightened One came down off the Starship Lollypop and got in touch with his inner “Community Organizer.”
It’s not supposed to be like this. Even when you aren’t trying to play Morgan Freeman, you are supposed at least ACT white. The name calling stuff is supposed to be left to the VPs. Better yet, let those losers over at the Daily Kos do it. No one respects them anyway.
The idea is that if you “want to be impotent, you gotta look impotent.”
But it’s worse than that for the Obamaniacs. Obama’s porcine outburst really highlights the pathology of leftism. An election isn’t just a national “vetting” of a particular candidate, it is his whole team that must pass for review. If there’s anything clear about Obama’s team it is that they really have no influence.
Where’s Uncle Joe Biden? You know, they guy supposed to give ‘gravitas’ to the Obama team? Was he hiding under a table? Checking on his Hair Club For Men stock? Hitting on the reporter babes from MSNBC?
Actually that was a trick question. Biden was last seen insulting Republicans over stem cell research yesterday, so at least HE has been pulling some of his weight (incidently, I agree with him on this one.)
But the larger problem is that the reason Obama became the Democratic VP is the same reason the Democrats are stuck with a candidate that sucks: Race. The Democrats are a party of angry dykes, beta males and other assorted freaks and weirdos, but they all know that race trumps everything.
Obama is the first Affirmative Action Presidential candidate in history. Like all AA flunkies, Obama maintains his position through a climate of fear. The race card is ever present and anyone who dares to offend the Magic Negro quickly finds himself suspected of Thought Crimes; racist even!
So they all keep quiet and shuffle their feet and hope that Barky doesn’t screw up too badly. Unfortunately for them, it’s too late and that’s a good thing. The last thing this country needs is more commie cow bell.
Now if only we could find a way for the OTHER half of the Government Class to lose.

I think that Sen. Obama is a “true believer.” He REALLY believes that he can bring peace/prosperity/global cooling to the masses.
What surprises me is that an intelligent, articulate guy like him has yet to realize that he is being manipulated. NO one human being can balance the budget, cleanse the waters and bring large tax-free bank accounts to the needy, though he’s obviously been led to believe that he is capable of such acts.
I’ve got to give the guy credit for ENTHUSIASM, he truly thinks that he is the right guy for our times. I’m not sure how quickly reality would set in before he would realize that the good and honorable leaders of countries such as Iran, Syria and Russia seldom carry through on their so-called word of honor.
What’s the old expression….”talk is cheap?” Talk is also easy. ANYONE can promise the moon, and throw in the sun and the stars into the bargain. But many of the USA’s esteemed opponents will consistently, and without apology, FAIL to come through with the “goods” in the end.
Obama is the “front man”, the salesman for the Ideology of Change (aka Global Socialism). The man behind the curtain is George Soros.
Soros wants to change the world and has enough money to do it. He has funded the effort that in less than a year brought a little known “community activist/junior senator” from Chicago into the White House. There is no doubt that he has a brilliant mind.
Soros has funneled large sums of money into the Democratic Party. In reciprocation, the Democrats have allowed him to install a small army of true believers to execute his bidding. He has funded the campaigns of leftist politicians, MoveOn.org and a number of environmental front groups.
The Soros vision is of a one-world Socialist government ruled by a select elite that control the global financial system. He has euphemistically christened his Utopian vision as The Open Society.
The following paragraphs were extracted from an article that was recently published in a major business/economic oriented website. Herein are the marching orders for his surrogate-creation, Barack Hussein Obama. Especially note the paragraph regarding energy:
“To prevent the US economy from sliding into a depression, Mr. Obama must implement a radical and comprehensive set of policies. Alongside the well-advanced fiscal stimulus package, these should include a system-wide and compulsory recapitalization of the banking system and a thorough overhaul of the mortgage system – reducing the cost of mortgages and foreclosures.
Energy policy could also play an important role in counteracting both depression and deflation. The American consumer can no longer act as the motor of the global economy. Alternative energy and developments that produce energy savings could serve as a new motor, but only if the price of conventional fuels is kept high enough to justify investing in those activities. That would involve putting a floor under the price of fossil fuels by imposing a price on carbon emissions and import duties on oil to keep the domestic price above, say, $70 per barrel.
Finally, the international financial system must be reformed. Far from providing a level playing field, the current system favours the countries in control of the international financial institutions, notably the US, to the detriment of nations at the periphery. The periphery countries have been subject to the market discipline dictated by the Washington consensus but the US was exempt from it.
How unfair the system is has been revealed by a crisis that originated in the US yet is doing more damage to the periphery. Assistance is needed to protect the financial systems of periphery countries, including trade finance, something that will require large contingency funds available at little notice for brief periods of time. Periphery governments will also need long-term financing to enable them to engage in counter-cyclical fiscal policies.
In addition, banking regulations need to be internationally co-ordinated. Market regulations should be global as well. National governments also need to co-ordinate their macroeconomic policies in order to avoid wide currency swings and other disruption.”
