I’m sitting here at the local coffee shop, working on my resume and obsessively refreshing The Corner to read the latest comments and I can’t help but think that all this talk about Obama being “toast” or proving himself to be really nothing more than a smoother Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/(insert race hustler name here) is simple wishful thinking. I’ve always known that Obama was a con artist because when you don’t offer up ANY specifics during a campaign it’s usually because you either don’t have any core beliefs or your core beliefs are nutty. His speech today will do nothing more than further convince people like me, who wouldn’t vote for him anyways, that he’s a fraud. The MSM will glorify his passion, hope, outreach… whatever you want to call it… for a more perfect union and Rev. Wright will fade from the headlines like so many other liberal scandals. Remember Sandy Berger? Remember “no controlling legal authority”? Remember questionable Nevada land deals? The list goes on and on. Wishful thinking my fellow conservatives. Wishful thinking.
