Obama just can't win with the righty talking heads so he might as well ignore them

[47of74]

Obama just couldn't win with the righty talkers when it came to visiting his grandmother. If he hadn't gone to Hawaii to visit his grandmother the righties would've been complaining that he was putting politics ahead of his own family. Well, he did go to visit his grandmother and now the talking heads are up in arms about him going out there on a 767. So he might as well ignore the righty talking heads - no matter what he does they'll never be happy.

1. I see them as irrelevant anyway, who cares?...n/t

2. No kidding.

The more attention is paid to that stuff the more credibility you give it.

7. I so agree with you both! n/t

3. Obama being the all-inclusive Candidate doesn't ignore the righties...

... he just doesn't let them get him down. He knows they're prejudiced and bigoted but he's won quite a few over already - except for the diehards, that is.

It's important to note that Obama doesn't cater to them. His message is good for them too (as they'll notice when he's President and hopefully has a Congress that won't block his policies) but they'll never admit it, and I think it's fine by him.

He's not out to win a popularity contest, but to lead this country back from the abyss with hope and change for the better. That's my humble opinion.

6. Were they on the side of the deregulating free-marketeers? Thank you. We won't

be needing your opinion.... should be people's attitude, and change channels. Sometimes, trying to be inclusive is like trying to mix oil and water.

Incidentally, more so than ever under the free-marekteers, most countries are, in a general, but quite a real sense, two countries: the people and their ruling class. In the US, a third country is apparent, though I don't think a problem in elections, in spite of the Republican "noise-machine" overstating their numbers: some of the poorest of the people, who somehow end up believing that the most ruthlessly rapacious and degenerate of their leaders are on their side.

8. He is, more or less.

Perhaps the most brilliant aspect of his campaign is that it has side-stepped some of the filtering. Our would-be priesthood that has inserted itself between us and power? Less relevant.
