I don’t trust Barack Obama. On anything. Never have. For one thing, I have never believed that he raised gazillions of dollars from millions of legal, under-two hundred dollar donations. How did he get to be such a fundraising phenom in the first place? When and from whom did he learn this fine art? Why couldn’t he use some of his prodigious money-making mojo to fund a few programs benefiting the South Side residents he was so generously giving of his precious time and talents while being St. Community Organizer Extraordinaire? Call me crazy, but maybe a few hundred “small donors” pooling their resources back then could have had real, tangible reason to “hope” for “change,” even if their fearless leader abruptly abandoned them to pursue his own collegiate ambitions before they could accomplish anything of note.
The New York Post says you can’t trust Obama about the war, either. Big surprise. Once you realize that the only recordings that exist of the foundational anti-Iraq war speech upon which Obama’s whole campaign is built were faked by the Obama campaign because nobody thought it was notable enough at the time to record it, you know pretty much all you need to know about the guy. Anyway, Amir Taheri, in a Post opinion piece claims that Obama tried to pimp the war when he was in Iraq this July:
WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.
Meanwhile, a couple of blog sites are revisiting some old allegations re: SuperCommunityMan. One, Sweetness and Light explores claims made July 9, on another site called Analyze This that Obama truly does the impossible and actually pads his Gillette-thin resume to it’s current anemic thickness:
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of Barack Obama, the Illinois freshman senator and hot young Democratic Party star. But after reading his autobiography, I have to say that Barack engages in some serious exaggeration when he describes a job that he held in the mid-1980s.I know because I sat down the hall from him, in the same department, and worked closely with his boss. I can’t say I was particularly close to Barack – he was reserved and distant towards all of his co-workers – but I was probably as close to him as anyone. I certainly know what he did there, and it bears only a loose resemblance to what he wrote in his book.
If that’s not enough, the folks at Right Voices re-examine last month’s Wall Street Journal story involving illegal Palestinian donations to Camp O, as well as the ever popular ongoing ACORN voter fraud saga.
Now, I’m not vouching for any of these sites and stories, I didn’t go out of my way to find them, just visited BuzzTracker and there they were. And you know what? I don’t really care if they’re true. Obama will fail because he reached his public service level of incompetence way back in Altgeld Gardens, that’s why he left the community he was supposed to be organizing high and dry and ran off to law school. He certainly doesn’t seem to have helped anyone as a community organizer/politician. As days go by, he will continue to expose the obvious simply by embodying the truth of his thin resume and will inevitably prove himself to be what he is, a school teacher.
Everything else is just somebody else’s lipstick on a pig.

Oh gosh I’m hoping he gets his arse handed to him on a silver platter in a few weeks!
When I read this news of Obama trying to prolong our withdrawals for his political advantage, I noticed what was sure to be a very interesting story…
But it seems that the media is by and large ignoring the story (as usual), so most people won’t know.
