For a while I was absolutely elated to see Obama's racist-to-the-core, "God damn Whitey, God damn America" spiritual advisor start getting some belated press. Then it soaked in that none of it's going to damage Obama in the least with his real "base." He'll continue to stand tall among the anti-establishment, anti-America Left, who'll simply be more convinced than ever that he looks at things the same way they do. At least there's hope that some middle-of-the road voters will remember who he really is come November.

So, Barry O. gave his "You're racist if you don't vote for me" speech, the Libtards all shouted "Amen, brother!" and those of us who've been paying a little more attention didn't. I'm not going to vote against, or for, any man because of his race and I'll be damned if I'm going to vote for a dirty Chicago pol who's promised to pull our troops out of the Mideast, genocide be damned, and invite the mullahs to the White House for tea.
