Obama, Obama - How Thick is Your Skin?

I heard a great quote today from Dennis Miller. (Man, I love that guy. It's like listening to myself think, only a whole lot more erudite and polished. I mean, he says things in a manner and with a logic that makes me want to shout at the radio..... That's right! That's exactly how I feel! You tell 'em!)

But I digress..... Dennis was talking about Obama and his speech last week in Florida where he brought out the race card, not accusing McCain of doing or saying anything, cause he hasn't. But instead, Obama said "We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid. They're going to try to make you afraid of me. They're gonna.... They're going to say, "You know what, he's -- he's -- he's young, inexperienced, and, uh, uh, he's got a funny name. Did I mention he's black? "

Now the drive-by MSM just lapped it up, talking about how brilliant it was to make fun of it, to throw it out there before the Republicans do, to imply that it was a bomb just waiting to go off.

Well, here's where Dennis made the great quote, one that I whole-heartedly agree with. "It's not about the color of your skin Obama, it's about how thick it is. And Obama, you have thin skin" Dennis went on to say that this ploy by Obama with this recent speech is the last straw for him, that he had given Obama the benefit of the doubt earlier in the campaign when all this stuff about Rev. Wright and his church came up and Obama denied that over 20 years of attending the church that he never heard any inflammatory sermons like was seen and heard on YouTube.

It's not about whether Obama was or will be influenced by Rev. Wright. No, that's not an issue like some want to make. It's about how Obama expects us to accept his statement, against all logic, that he hasn't heard Rev. Wright say those things. It's about Obama, the "agent of Change" showing his true self, a liberal politician that will lie. He's not bringing anything new or different, it's politics as usual. And now with this last speech, after saying throughout his campaign that he's past the racial stuff, he throws out the race bomb!

So now it's time to start exposing Obama, and to take off the gloves and try to let the nation see what he's really about. For those of you that read this blog and are Obama supporters I hope you will come back to read my future posts. I'm not saying that McCain is the absolute best possible President for this country. I really don't like some of what he's done or said. Or where he say's he's going to take the country. No, what I want to have is a dialogue ( and I hope you'll use the comment section to let me know your thoughts) a non-emotional discussion about who the candidates are, what their policies and plans are and how realistic they are. And who will be the best Presiden to lead us through some tough times ahead.
