Barack O’Bummer – The Pied Piper Of Contempt :: Carter's Second Term
uploaded by Edmund Jenks
Barack Obama is still on the market for a running mate today after veep speculators talked up a surprise announcement in Indiana today. The rumors were rampant because Obama was introduced by Evan Bayh, who is Indiana’s second term U.S. Senator, the state’s former governor, and allegedly on Obama’s shortlist for veep.

Barack O’Bummer – The Pied Piper Of Contempt
The level of dislike for America and its basic construct by Barack Obama has no boundaries. Factually, he insults us all … and most of all, the Democrat party who deserves a better standard-bearer.
Yesterday, at Concord High School in Elkhart, Indiana, a seven-year-old girl asked Barack Obama in a townhall setting, why does he want to be President (?).
Instead of giving an answer that would actually come from hope and change ... he told her that America has gone downhill … that it isn’t the country it used to be.
Man, what a “Bummer”.

Obama: “America is no longer what it once was”
posted at 11:25 am on August 7, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
[said the junior Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama]
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was." Reference Here>>
What America is HE talking about?
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was."
Definitely not the country that sacrificed itself twice in world wars to save the free nations of the world from domination by powers that pursued genocide in the name of purity.
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was."
Not the country that provides more in drugs and money than any other country to educate and curb the effects of AIDS.
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was."
Not the country all other countries look to for economic leadership and innovation and that foreign born citizens break laws in order to experience the freedoms that exist here.
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was."
Maybe he wants to go back to the America that openly pursued segregation or the one before that one, where slavery was a part of the agricultural economic structure.
What country would allow any minority to be able to be freely brought through a democratic process to the highest elected office of leadership?
Maybe he is expecting an America that should be one of entitlement to a group of elite folks and that HE is the top pick of that bunch of people ... as opposed to the broad range of Democrats that have put him into the position he finds himself at this moment before the convention in Denver.
To be honest, I liked the concept of the “Audacity Of Hope” ... it almost felt business-like, in that, it came from a place where it had the attitude that we had a good “BRAND” but we could make this “BRAND” better.
What we witnessed yesterday, at Concord High School in Elkhart, Indiana, in an answer given to a seven-year-old girl from Barack O’Bummer, in this latest of unguarded and un-telepromptered statements, is an “Audacity Of Contempt”
Another telegraphed punch on the road to Carter's Second Term.

What a well-written piece - thanks for sharing it!

Edmund Jenks, I like this story. It's good stuff.

Hmm. Do you think he could have maybe meant what America once was before Bush and his cabal got hold of it? An America that adhered to the rule of law, that didn't act unilaterally, that didn't send the American (and as many other countries which were collateral damage). If you want to talk about the Audacity of Contempt you should start and end with the current administration.

This is NOT what a leader communicates to a SEVEN-YEAR-OLD!
There is nothing like the stale air of a Soros Template talking points response and defense of terrible responses to simple questions.
Face it ... this guy just isn't the material to become the leader of the FREE World.

"An America that adhered to the rule of law"? When was that? I cannot remember a time when the US Government (CIA, NSA, FBI, state and local police.....) was not breaking domestic and/or international laws. Can you please provide your readers with the time period to which you are referring?

eastvanray, interesting take. Just out of curiosity, could you point me to a country that does not nor has never broken domestic and/or international laws? We ain't perfect (welcome to the party!) but we have a better country that provides more economic opportunity to a more diverse group of people than any other country in history.
How about a little less stabbing us in the back and a little more bear hugs. It's not like I sit up at night thinking of cleverly hurtful things to say about Vancouver, wherever that is.

I wasn't the one claiming that my government always respected the rule of law so I do not have to defend that statement. Why make the claim when it is clearly and widely known to be a falsehood? I don't like any government: not mine, not yours, not anyone's! And if you want hugs you might want to look at a map beyond the USA once in a while to see where your friends live. You might find people more friendly when you know a little basic world geography. Vancouver is that little town of 1.5 million people just up I5, 1 hour from the US border near Seattle. Let me invite you up for a visit in the winter of 2010. We are hosting the Winter Olympics so if you got MUCHO greenbacks to drop we just might give you a hug (whether we mean it or not) ;-)

Edmund Jenks, I like this story. It's good stuff.
This whole "America isn't living up to its past" shtick is getting old really fast. Last time I checked we still add more to the world's GDP than every other country every year. But, hey, maybe Obama thought America was better when Carter was at the helm. In that upside down, bizarro world you could say that America has lost its way.
