Obama's Developing Anti-Democracy Problem

I just saw a new clip of Obama on Fox. He was saying, he doesn't just want to end the war, he wants to end the mindset that led to it. The problem? He looked tired, arrogant, and impatient to the point of petulance in saying it. But I can't believe he just handed this issue below to Hillary. How long before Hillary's camp combines it with his significant "challenge" actions in his first campaign to suggest Obama's idea of audacity includes opposing giving voters a voice when it serves his own interests? The guy's starting to make so many unforced errors, he better not pull a Hillary and look for SNL to bail him out - he'd just be cast as another not ready for prime time player at this point.

The obstacles to a do-over election to pick Michigan's delegates to the Democratic National Convention seemed to grow Friday, after Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign officials told the state's top party official that they wouldn't accept Gov. Jennifer Granholm's idea of a party-sponsored primary.

It would be the same procedure Democrats have used in past Michigan presidential caucuses.

Where is the proof these are unforced errors? He just seems to be drawing positive contrasts.

Two years ago, one would have said that Obama didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. Now that snowball is starting to run downhill and it is gaining momentum as it goes.

The NAFTA gaffe, walking out on reporters after "eight questions", his "Arab families (read Muslim) being rounded up without the benefit of an attorney" ad in Texas, and we begin to wonder if the Obama camp is really filled with covert Hillary operatives as the rats begin to jump ship and make statements that are not part of the Obama campaign talking points. Not to mention that the Rezko trial, with all the foreign implications due to Rezko's ties with a former Baathist Iraqi billionaire tied to the Food For Oil scandal, dirty money going into the campaign coffer's of the Illinois governor and perhaps Obama himself, and the questionable historic Georgian mansion deal, and Rezko's own attorneys pointing out Rezko's association with Senator Obama at court Thursday. Ears are going to be picking up and the Rezko trial is going to become national headline news when so far it has pretty much been a local story limited to Chicago and Illinois.

One has to also wonder if that snowball is going to become so large as it continues it's downhill ride that the Obama brick wall will fall under it's weight.

Thanks for your writing on the fraud in Chicago. Those of us who live here and have some conception of decency and morality wish that there were more people who kept the public focused on the shenanigans in government here. In the 1920s the mafia ran Chicago with intimidation and terror. These days the mafia is the government here.

Keep up the good work!
