Barack Obama‘s undoubtedly the Democratic front runner these days. And you know what that means – people are starting to get out their magnifying glasses and take a good, hard look at his record and abilities. Wonkette breaks down a particularly critical Houston Press piece that examines the Senator’s ambitions and record, while CBS News talks to political pundits and insidery types to answer the electoral question: “Just how liberal is Obama, anyway?”

Well, it’s a little too late now for people to be pulling out the magnifying glasses. Media should have been doing that for months. The only reason they are doing it now is that perhaps the feel a little guilty and stupid for being a part of this mass hysteria. Well, count me out. I will not be drinking the Kool-Aid.

Hmmm, from Wonkette’s snarky dismissal of the article, if they had their heads any farther up the Dali Obama’s ass they could lick his tonsils from THAT end!
Que?
Shock and awe!
A political figure who benefitted from other political figures? A candidate who used the weaknesses of other candidates to bolster his own campaign? A politician with seemingly endless ambition and self-confidence and ego to boot?
A Barack Obama who isn’t Jesus Christ Himself?
I’ve just become very disillusioned.

Of course she dismissed it (Wonkette is a she, right?). It was a stupid article. The author makes the groundbreaking discovery that there is a machine in Chicago politics … about eight decades after it became common knowledge to the rest of the world. Of course Obama was groomed by politicians higher up. Every bright young thing is. That’s how you get elected in the first place. I don’t see the scandal here.

This just goes to show that ‘Bama is as sleazy or more so than any other politician out there, although he likes to pretend otherwise.
