    <p>Millions of Americans oppose Senator Obama’s candidacy for many different reasons. For a small number of bigots, one of them is almost certainly race. That being said, Obama’s surrogates and media supporters have shown very little reluctance to ascribe racism to virtually anyone who supports another candidate. This is shameful. Worse still, Obama has personally played the race card several times, accusing Republicans in general, and the McCain campaign specifically, of whipping up race-based ugliness. When McCain’s objects, Obama has <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/08/02/obama_denies_trying_to_play_race_card/">disingenuously denied</a> he was referring to race in his initial comments. Really? On one occasion, Obama accused Republicans of trying to “scare” voters by mentioning that he “doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.” At another rally he made a similar claim, adding “…did we mention he’s black?” to his interpretation of the GOP’s supposed scare tactics. As someone who presents himself as a unifying figure, what does it say that he shamelessly injects racial politics into the campaign, casting aspersions on his opponents’ motives? Watch and listen for yourself:</p>

    <p>With the exception of one time each by the Washington Post and ABC News (on their blogs), the media did nothing to expose this tactic by Obama and his campaign employed on these occasions:</p>

  2. <h3>FILE: LACK OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS</h3>

    <p>After an embarrassing exchange on a talk show, the Obama campaign scrambled to arm its surrogates with talking points about Obama’s grand legislative record. What did they come up with? Two bills—and Obama talks about them endlessly. One deals with securing loose nuclear weapons and was so uncontroversial that it passed on a voice vote in the Senate. The other created a “google for government” system, allowing citizens to track government spending. Both were laudable efforts for a wet-behind-the-ears legislator, but Obama wants to be President. Beyond those two meager accomplishments, what has he done? It’s a question that has baffled official campaign surrogates and regular Americans alike:</p>

    <h3>SUMMATION</h3>
    <p>All three of us have written many, many times on all of these issues. Taken individually, most of them would create doubt about the readiness and honesty of any political candidate. Put together as a narrative, we believe this paints the picture of a man who has few real credentials for the office he seeks beyond the Constitutional minimum, and a politician who has succeeded in obfuscating his hard-Left ideology.</p>
    <p>Perhaps if Barack Obama had taken more time to build his resumé – especially with executive experience – he might have made a more compelling candidate, and might have demonstrated at least a little of the moderation he has claimed. Instead, Democrats want America to support at once the most radical and least qualified candidate for President in at least a century. They have tried to conceal this with the complicity of a pom-pom-waving national media that has shown much more interest in the political background of a plumber from Ohio than in a major-party candidate for President.</p>
    <p>America deserves better than that. Voters deserve the truth from the press, not vague cheers of “hope” and “change” while willfully ignoring or air-brushing Obama&#8217;s record. We hope to set that record straight with our essay.</p>

  4. Feel free to bury your head in the sh*t. So you can avoid acknowledging how ignorant you are.

    Why so afraid of facts?

    From your way of comments, we can see you are irrelevant now. You are probably one of those who were hyped in a rally, then herded to the poll and cast your pre-mature vote.

    ... all because someone "want your vote NOW!"?

    Why such hurry? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of that people may be more informed over time?

    Keep ignoring and comforting yourself that the pre-mature vote thing doesn't only happened to you.

    There are apparently a number of inconsistencies, contradictions, unknowns and non-documentations about NObama... but they are being dismissed and ignored due to "NObama fevor"... this is highly disturbing for us skeptics.

  7. The reason he talks about the nuclear weapons bill is because he worked with Lugar (a Republican) to get a good bill done, in a bipartisan manner.

    And in the state senate he sponsored over 800 bills for everything from health care on down:

  8. You're not a skeptic, you're a cynic actually. By dictionary definition:

    "The Oxford Dictionary defines cynisism as: “1. Tending not to believe in the integrity or sincerity of others. 2. Sceptical. 3. Contempuous; mocking. 4. Concerned only with one’s own interests.”

    Come on bigdave, your emotions and mouth are running on high, but your brain is apparently running on fumes.

    By your own post of a definition, I'm not a cynic.
