Fantasy: President-Elect Obama is really radical black socialist. Trained by Ayers and Wright to be one.


Reality:

Obama is a crafty, pragmatic politician. He used Ayers, Wright, the Daleys, and all the rest of the establishment of Chicago to move into national politics.

Part of his MO, is to go to older established politicians, lobbyists, community leaders, etc. and pretend they are like a father to him. They boosted him up as much as possible. You see it in Chicago, you see it in D.C..

He is an arrogant man, an elitist, and one of the smartest, most politically aware presidents we've ever had in the U.S. With all the shit that this country is going through and about to go through, we are damn lucky.

 

Perfectly illustrating my point actually.  This fantasy thing is not at all what I was driving at, but the campaign was and thats why they were unable to make people care, and its why folks who haven't looked into the issue (like yourself and Rubang) think that this type of conclusion is all there is to get from it. 

 

If my conclusion is the correct one, than how am I not looking into it?

 

I am and was perfectly aware of the type of person he is.  He's a power hungry elitist but he's also a transparent, motivational, pragmatic, intelligent , moderate tempered man.

Bush was a moralist but a power hungry, elitist, intellectually incurious, weak-minded ideologue.

McCain was intelligent but an angry, short-sighted, loose canon.

Palin was strong-willed but an intellectually incurious, politically inept (past her base), and racist or at least incited racism.

 

All had their good and bad, only one is what the country needs right now.
