In a Wa****ngton Post column by Richard Cohen, Obama's Trouble With The
Truth (Jan 1, 2008), Cohen writes:
"In a recent provocative essay for The New Republic's Web site, Princeton
historian Sean Wilentz coined the phrase "the delusional style in American
punditry." He applied it to Obama's fans in the American press. His
argument is that certain journalists are so enthralled by the sheer
Obamaness of Obama that they are willing to overlook everything they know
about the fundamental value of experience."
"In this regard, Wilentz cites a Boston Globe editorial that used Obama's
memoir "Dreams From My Father" to extol Obama's real-life experiences.
Wilentz is not persuaded. To him, the book is "not exactly a ****trait of
sterling honesty or authenticity.""
"I and others have written that Obama -- as he himself says in the
introduction -- invented composite characters and altered chronology. But
as The Chicago Tribune also re****ted, some of the events Obama
passionately details seem not to have happened at all. Maybe his memory
played tricks on him. Mine sure does."
So it is OK for Obama to alter reality but it is not all right for Hillary
Clinton to slightly change reality during her trip to Bosnia 14 years ago?
Obama can't get the facts right on things which happened 4 years ago.
The racial divide is also huge. 92% African-Americans in NC voted for
Barack Obama which not much different than elsewhere. It looks to me like
it is a "White" against "Black" thing. As for the claim that educated
whites vote for Obama, the truth told correctly is educated whites vote
for both, but "liberal" whites, who also tend to be educated, though not
smarter, vote for Obama, a white guilt, white liberal thing?
AND, it is not a "Smart" against "Dumb" thing. I know many professionals
and educated "middle-class", like the majority of those over 50-60 who
sup****t Hillary Clinton, whereas young people are coming out in droves for
Obama. They may or may not show up for the general election? They are not
voting on issues; they are for their team, which is Obama, the young
unvetted black man. What does it matter that he is an empty suit? What
does it matter that he his known associates are black racists? What does
it matter that he did favors for a convicted felon? This reminds me of a
high school football game and they are being led on by cheer-leaders who
only promise the hope of winning.
