Entry: Who Is Barack Obama? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_is_barack_obama#31918 Post contents: Pat is coming to the realization, as the rest of America will at some point, that Obama, like every egomaniacal lawyer, especially an ivy league one, and like every politician, is a sophist. The man may or may not have a soul, but he will say and do whatever he thinks his immediate audience wants to hear. McCain is doing the same. We'll hear both of them "flip-flopping" non-stop. And should this be a surprise? The only principle in America is that there is no principle aside from money. But here's something else: At least since Reagan Americans have elected presidents that have a certain likeable foolish goofiness about them. All of them seemed sorta' like nice guys to hang around with and crack jokes and have some beers. Obama is awefully stiff (nothing wrong with that in my view) but I'm not sure that's appealing to the masses. McCain is no more appealing in that regard with his Zionistoid zeal and the constant vertical hitting of the podium with his hand. But it seems he could on take on the role of the likeable fool ("I'm telling you my friends...") more easily than Obama. Justin: There's on and one reason only why Buchanan is silently supporting McCain and why many paleo-cons will end up with McCain: Supreme Court justices. The hope is that he will nominate conservative justices. This is an important issue as these people get to keep their jobs far longer than any president and are supposedly more influential. Is that issue more important than the war? At this point I'm inclined to say no as long as Americans are dying for nothing. But for many it is. The war is just so far away. Sent at: 2008 12 05
