I admit- Obama makes my skin crawl.

Few Democratic politicians have made my skin crawl quite like Barak Obama. I also admit I do not quite know why. I loath my stupid fellow Democrats who fall over themselves in cultish adoration. Why do they? Who knows - Democrats lose it every four years over someone who will surely lose. He gave a good speech on 04. He is handsome -ish. That's really all he has. He is a talented speaker.

Why does he give me the creeps? I admit this too: part of it is just my gut telling me he's off. The full scale gallop toward power by Obama is unnerving. Say what ever you like about Hillary - she has done the heavy lifting. She will have the job down on day one.

Another part of my distaste for this Obama Delusion is that he is never, ever going to win. Nor should he. He is the least qualified Democratic candidate running. Including Gravel. Obama is sucking up a huge amount of air - for what will amount to nothing.

Those who adore Obama are cultish. They are like Bush supporters on the other side. None of them seem to know WHY they adore him. They just do. Ask any Obama fan you meet - why him? They answer will be either 1. He's cool. or 2. He's not her.

There is something obscene about his rapid rise. Some deeply undeserved. There is something profoundly phony about how he is playing his race. Or rather how he is playing half his race. He is 50% white. He father is African and his mother American. This is very different than a descendant of slaves becoming President. Which would be inspirational. Obama is a descendant of SLAVE OWNERS. His story is not at all inspiring. Obama represents a deeper layer of American denial. Mixed race Americans play acting at being decedents of those enslaved in America. His story is closer to Rudy Giuliani's than it is Alex Haley's..

History is being made underneath all the flotsam and jetsam of Obama's non starter campaign. A gender barrier is very likely to be shattered by a Senator from New York. You'd think the "liberal" elite would be excited about that. You'd think the party of equality and dignity for all would be excited about that. You'd think the party of Eleanor Roosevelt and Shirley Chisholm would be excited about real history about to be made.
