The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama. Saga Number 14.
In his acceptance speech for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination, Senator Obama said, “It’s not because John McCain doesn’t care. It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.”
This is from a candidate that asked in Iowa last year, “Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” Other than the fact there are no Whole Foods Markets in Iowa (Senator Obama is not known for his fine grasp of the facts, such as knowing the number of states in the Union…hint, less than 57), this is a from a Democrat. Those are the politicians whose party supposedly represents the little guy; the folks that shop at Wal-Mart.
“It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.”
This is from a candidate that went to Harvard and sends his two girls to one of the most exclusive private schools in America. Millionaire Senator Obama and his $270,000 per year wife can identify with most Americans.
“It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.”
This is from a candidate that studiously implemented Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals while organizing Chicago neighborhoods. Senator Obama must think the folks that shop at Wal-Mart are big supporters of Marxist doctrine.
“It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.”
This is from a candidate that earlier this year in New Hampshire told an audience, “a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany . . . and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.” May it be Senator Obama is confused about the position he is seeking? Last reported the Pope is alive and well (not a little more humble than the good Senator).
“It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.”
This is from a candidate that wants to effectively eliminate one of the Bill of Rights from the United States Constitution. Senator Obama must believe most Americans are not happy with the ten amendments that have been around for the last 217 years. Since Senator Obama wants to expand the roll of the federal government it is somewhat mysterious why he wants to reduce the size of the Constitution.
If John McCain doesn’t get it, maybe most Americans don’t get it, either.
