Obama Campaign Stop: Tucson

The event in Tucson was absolutely terrible. The killer is obviously a disturbed psychopath, but was he also a Republican? There's the real story, or so the "Free Press" would want us to believe. It's all Sarah Palin's fault, and don't forget it.

Right now, on national television, the Tucson Memorial is the singular event of the new year. But why? How many other multiple homicides have garnered so much national attention? Not many. This brings to mind the Wellstone Memorial of eight years ago, a political event if there ever was one. This is much the same flavor, without as much of the hate, but seriously, the President of the United States is there. This has obviously been carefully magnified for the express purpose of trying to make Democrats look like the everyman, on our side, the party that cares. While Republicans are the cause of this horrific tragedy.

I'm positive that if a Democrat congresswoman wasn't a target this would have been a tragedy but not a national call to political action. Oh, and the congresswoman's not dead. But yes, we're all "deeply affected."

Not that any of this justifies the criminal act. Just don't get caught up in the Democrat campaign ad Obama's handlers hope it can be.

You don't think the political movers don't actually think that way? I bet any money that they're happily counting an influx of campaign contributions right now. And how much would you bet that Bama brings this up again in his SOTU address? Democrats are desperate - they will milk this for all its worth.

What's with all these Democrats reading from the Bible? That seems a bit off. Scripture just doesn't have the same effect coming from politicians. Oh, and what is Nancy Pelosi doing there? That should tell us everything.

Hmm, Obama gets a standing ovation and uncomfortably long applause. He loves it. No redirection to the tragedy, just soaking up that adoration. Come on - the crowd is there for him, not for any of the victims. His hair is gray again. That's funny, it was just straight black when he was on vacation a week ago...

I don't believe Obama can remember ever meeting the congresswoman, but he's a Democrat, so he tells a story like they were best friends.

And there it is, the quintessential moment: When Obama entered Gabby Gifford's hospital room she opened her eyes for the first time. For the first time - he said it himself! The Messiah is returned!

You know what's really striking is how Obama sounds like he's working an angle; he's just so obviously trying too hard to sound like he cares. Compare that to President Bush's many moments of genuine compassion immediately following tragedies.

Oh, and all the heroes who stopped the killer when he was reloading got really bad seats in the middles of rows way back on the floor. Figures - all the "important" people like Pelosi and several other Democrat congressmen are sitting in the front rows. Assholes.

The point is, shouldn't these people be remembered by people who cared about them, instead of splashed on the television as evidence of the current tenor of discourse we're led to believe is all a result of the influence of those hateful Tea Party-ers and Sarah Palin? I can't watch Obama pretend he knows or cares anymore. This charade has gone too far.
