Bara Bama, the Perpetual Candidate

Yesterday Bara Bama drew comparisons to his situation today with regard to the deteriorating state of his health care plan and slumping approval ratings to his campaign status immediately before the Iowa Caucus last year. He reminded us that the press had written him off, and he made a come from behind win then and he will do it again with health care.

He also took a jab at Sarah Palin, saying how the media was obsessed with her. The implication is that she was treated more than fairly, which is totally untrue, and only democrats remain blind to reprehensible discrepancy in coverage. I'd like to remind Bama that in October of last year there were 30 major ongoing news stories casting an unfavorable light on Palin, while only 1 story was critical of Biden and not one single headline criticized Bama. Bama's right - the media was obsessed.

And then Bama felt the need to remind us once again that he inherited an unprecedented economic downturn from the previous "conservative Republican administration." Have you caught that yet? No longer are the dems referring to Bush by name, but instead using this language intended to tie the current group of conservative congressmen back to Bush. It's another tactic - little more than a trick.

But tricks will not work, and Bama has yet to realize it. But why would he? He tricked 60 million people into voting for him. So why not run this perpetual campaign, complete with prime-time advertising and network infomercials.

Barack Obama is the perpetual candidate. Has he done anything as President to distinguish himself for that office? No. He continues to sling mud in the trenches with ordinary Americans on the other side of the fence. He's not leading anyone - just ask his fellow democrats in congress. The man has not made America safer, or increased our standing in the world - quite the opposite. By apologizing and pandering to every low-level diplomat who will hear him, he has reduced this country to third-world diplomatic status. Why else would it take an ex-president to go to North Korea to negotiate the release of 2 American journalists?

We will have a signed health care bill in the next 6 months. The Dems have invested everything into this monstrosity and it is now "too big to fail." Their political base would offer them to the dogs if they don't get it don't, so they'll get it done and pound another nail in the US economy's coffin.

But I think we've seen that for Bama, the campaign will never end. As long as the media is behind him - and they desperately want to be behind him - he will campaign. For every silly thing he wants from now on, the guy will always be campaigning, never leading or taking responsibility for his activities, and so long as he is never called on it, George Bush will always be the incumbent.

So from now on I will refer to the man as "The Nominee", or "Democrat nominee for President", or just, "candidate oBama." Until he starts acting like it, the man cannot be called the President of the United States.
