The illusion that is Barack Obama | The Australian
theaustralian.news.com.au — POLITICAL campaigning necessarily produces a wide gap between words and deeds. This is the price of bringing together a broad coalition with disparate interests. All effective politicians are at times authentically insincere or sincerely inauthentic. Exaggeration, embellishment, overstatement, doubletalk, deception and lies presented as metaphorica

Sadly enough it states at the end of the article that this toolbox is actually a teacher at a college in Australia. After comparing democrat supporters to cult members and inferring that many blacks have gotten "in on the loot" in Chicago politics just because they are black, as well as many other incendiary comments, I would think you'd have a tough time keeping your job. Sadly, or what should be embarrassingly, there is no mention that this is an editorial piece or a commentary, it's displayed as a standard piece of news. Congratulations to the illusion that is The Australian, the newest incarnation of Fox news.

Until we can have open, honest discourse without everyone playing at racebaiting, obama will be "untouchable" which is exactly what all non-thinking progressives want.

obama is NO DIFFERENT THAN BUSH.
And I can't stand either of them.

Palin, who is being touted as NOT READY has accomplished MUCH More than Obama AND Biden put together. Really now, what has either Senator done, except scold us to death over the past few years?

Many Obama supporters are buying the image; the dream of a young, charismatic, articulate President who defends Truth, Justice, and the 'American Way.'
What the United States will get, if Obama wins, is the wrenching experience of this country taking a hard 'Left' turn towards Socialism.
Be careful who you vote for America, you just might elect him.
