Liberal Media to blame for Obama Fiasco
Surprise, surprise, surprise, Obama is just another left-wing politician.
Obama cannot win. If he had been properly vetted by the liberal media last February, before super Tuesday when over twenty states held primaries and caucuses, Obama would have been long gone and the Democrats would now be ready to nominate a real contender for the White House. Obama was given a pass then and now the Democrats are stuck with a losing candidate. Liberals are hoisted on their own petard.
Americans are no more likely to elect a left-winger to the presidency that they would elect a right-winger. Some view George W. Bush as right-wing and some view Jimmy Carter as left-wing but both actually governed closer to the center. This has been true of every American president in history. Franklin D. Roosevelt governed to the left of center while Ronald Reagan governed to the right of center.
Obama almost passed himself off as a left of center moderate but the truth has a way of trickling out. First Michelle Obama stated that she felt proud to be an American for the first time in her adult life. Than the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor mentor and friend, described 9/11 as "America's chickens coming home to roost" among other gems. Then Obama commented that he would not want his daughters to be "punished by a baby" as a result of an unwanted pregnancy. Then came his comment that small Midwestern towns are bitter and are therefore turning to religion guns and racist reaction to illegal aliens. Then we find out about his association with left-wing terrorist William Ayers.
Obama is not the first presidential candidate to reveal a career ending far left outlook. The Willie Horton scandal spoke volumes about Michael Dukakis and his attitude toward crime. As governor of Massachusetts, Dukakis signed a law that allowed convicted first degree murderers out on unsupervised weekend furloughs. On one of those furloughs, convicted first degree murderer Willie Horton raped a women in front of her husband who he had bound, gagged, and castrated. Other examples include John Kerry's smear against the American military before Congress after his return from Vietnam and then his failure to respond to the serious charges made against him by the Swift Boat veterans.
Americans don't elect left-wingers to the presidency because leftism does not resonate with the vast majority of Americans. Not too many Americans, as examples, relish the idea of high taxes, big government meddling, the welfare state, open borders, socialized medicine, legalized vice, and a gradual move toward authoritarian socialism. This is why liberals, knowing that they will rarely be able to elect lawmakers, rely instead on unelected judges and bureaucrats to do their bidding by creating laws undemocratically and out of thin air.
Maybe next time the democrats will wake up and nominate a candidate that is moderately left of center as opposed to one who is clearly an extremist. Maybe next time. It's too late for the Dems this time around.
