Obama expects to be president ‘eight to 10 years’…

Share In 2008 Obama’s last chance to get me to vote for him passed when he selected Joe Biden as his running mate instead of Hillary Clinton. The hot button issue that made me look to McCain/Palin was my hope that McCain would be more supportive …

Ilion: I was thinking just that when I went back to this post to link it today. Odd, isn't it? At the time I wrote this, I could not have imagined all the actual, literal bowing Obama would be doing.

“He bows to nobody in his understanding of this world.”

Yet, bow he does!

[…] Dan, I bow to no one regarding my, um, disregard for Hugh Hewitt, but really. If supporting the surge was a Republican […]

I think that he realized that 8 years won’t quite cover it so added a bit, which happened to be, as often, just a bit much.

What do you want from Obama? What exactly does he have to do before you will think him an appropriate object of respect?

He should drop out of the race. Hasn’t he inflicted enough problems on this country because of his problems? For example… he attends a racist church for 20 years and at first denies its racist.

Then he says maybe it was racist buit he never heard anything racist

Then he says he did hear some things sometimes and disapproved but would never leave them

Then he says he’ll leave them.. but not before he gave a speech blaming the entire nation for the crackpottedness of Rev Wright.

The man inflicted that nonsense onto us for a month. Screw Obama.

No respect to lying racist Marxists.

I am reluctant to chime in on this thread because I’m not a conservative. At the same time, I don’t fancy myself a ‘leftist’ either. I think of myself as an American. “American” is a label that means something to me. “Neo-conservative” and “leftist” mean little to me. I think of you and of the people you lambast here all as Americans, as my countrymen and countrywomen, and it bugs me when you address each other as though you’re enemies…but I’ll climb down off of my soapbox now.

What do you want from Obama? What exactly does he have to do before you will think him an appropriate object of respect? What, for that matter, should anyone have to do?

Is Obama a man of unparalleled accomplishment? I certainly don’t think so. But then, are the vast majority of his piers–on either side of the aisle– peolple of unparalleled accomplishment? Clearly not. Your “typical” national party candidate is someone who has been on the political scene a long time, who has “paid a lot of dues” in that sense, who has had a fancy title after his/her name for many years, engaged in various squabbles on Capitol Hill, won some, lost some, etc. But let’s face it, accomplishing *this* does not require a great deal of leadership, intelligence, sound judgment, compassion, etc. It just requires that one know how to play the game and that one be prepared to play it for a long time. So, I don’t understand the “lack of experience” argument against Obama. In fact, I think the “lack of experience”is actually a plus in many people’s minds. If nothing else, he is fairly articulate and an effecive communicator. But I don’t even want to defend the guy, to be honest, because I have no strong feeling for him one way or another.
