Is Barack Obama an “empty suit”?

Some have thought that for quite some time, but Noel Shephard at Newsbusters examines an article that surprisingly enough, will be appearing on the front page of the New York Times – that indicates that the New York Times thinks so. Highlights:

These Democrats — 15 governors, members of Congress and state party leaders — say Mr. Obama has yet to convert his popularity among many Americans into solutions to crucial electoral challenges: showing ownership of an issue, like economic stewardship or national security; winning over supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton; and minimizing his race and experience level as concerns for voters.

That’s where they have a problem; just as it is with 9% Nancy, democrats aren’t about solutions; they’re about throwing more money at failed government policies and inventing new reasons to grow government bigger. I liked the citizen storm trooper idea that Obama had that was a throwback to Hitler’s stormtroopers.

Democrats just like to play the blame game, and their “blame Bush” strategy, although nonsensical, has gained quite a bit of traction. To imagine that the country’s problems are completely because of George Bush is an oversimplification–but that’s what they’re about–slogans.

Mr. Obama has run for the last 18 months as the candidate of hope. Yet party leaders — while enthusiastic about Mr. Obama and his state-by-state campaign operations — say he must do more to convince the many undecided Democrats and independents that he would address their financial anxieties rather than run, by and large, as an agent of change — given that change, they note, is not an issue.

Wow, that’s quite an admission from “party leaders”.

“I particularly hope he strengthens his economic message — even Senator Obama can speak more clearly and specifically about the kitchen-table, bread-and-butter issues like high energy costs,” said Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio. “It’s fine to tell people about hope and change, but you have to have plenty of concrete, pragmatic ideas that bring hope and change to life.”

Or, in the blunter words of Gov. Phil Bredesen, Democrat of Tennessee: “Instead of giving big speeches at big stadiums, he needs to give straight-up 10-word answers to people at Wal-Mart about how he would improve their lives.”

You mean some voters don’t consider the hype, the rock star image and the comparisons to Bono enough to vote for him?

Imagine that.

That is part of an article that is running on the front page of the New York Times.

Mark this day in history.

From the New York Times article, “Allies Ask Obama to Make ‘Hope’ More Specific”

I don’t think he’ll “change” because there is nothing behind the smoke and mirrors but….more smoke and mirrors. Nice try, though.

Personally I’d like to see more clarification about that pesky fake birth certificate and try to get down to the bottom of the natural-born citizen issue, which is a requirement for a presidential candidate. Having Indonesian, kenyan and US citizenship simultaneously seems to be quite a conflict of interest for someone running for POTUS, and appears to be a glaring violation of US Election law.

Ah but what do we care about rules, anyway, when Obama bloggers are spamming people from email addresses that don’t belong to them from Obama’s campaign website?

But when that light shines down on us that makes us realize we should vote for him, little details that might bother regular folks, like the lie about his never having been a muslim and the paperwork from his school in Indonesia that says he’s an Indonesian citizen and a muslim under the name Barry Soetoro – and the paperwork for the Illinois Supreme Court -where he lied and claimed no known aliases – will all evaporate into thin air.

Nevermind the fact that Gaddafi himself says that Obama is a muslim and has endorsed him, too! I didn’t notice the “smears” website mentioning that.

After all, the president needs to have star power, and the hype around that should erase any silly concerns we have about his communist mentors like convicted terrorist Richard C. Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, Frank Marshall Davis, etc., or the communist party’s endorsement, or Hamas’ endorsement, his links to Saddam’s Iraq through Rezko and the billionaire Auchi, and all the rest. Those things are hard to wrap your mind around, anyway. The focus should be on “si, si puede” – nevermind where that originates from!

    Ooh wow, a tinpot dictator says something, so it must be true!

    Let’s see who else thinks Obama is a Muslim:

    “yes i belive he is muslium and if we put him in office ,all the muslium will take over,the blacks always cry they are not treated fair will its the other way around now we have let them take over and we are being treated bad now and also the turbam people run or own about everthing now and we let them ,excuse me except the hot temper little one that is there now and he owns oil wells and company doi you exp[ect the price of gas or oil to come down while he is in off\ice”

    I think the saying goes “it takes one to know one”.

    Gaddafi, just like the Palestinians in Gaza who’ve been raising funds for Obama – and “Muslims for Obama” and numerous others like Hezbollah and Hamas who’ve given thumbs up to our candidate – are telling us quite a bit in their endorsements about his muslim background.

    In islam, if your father was a muslim, you are a muslim. Not only was his father a muslim, his stepfather was also a muslim…

    See Breaking* Photo Documents Barry Soetoro: Indonesian Citizen, Muslim Religion [Updated x 2]

    As Lolo Soetoro’s son, Barry Soetoro was a Muslim in Indonesia. But Obama has publicly proclaimed that he’s “never been a Muslim.” This claim is highlighted on his “FightTheSmears” website.

    Obama has flat-out lied; and the other lies are also coming out.

    Too bad for the lying liars, isn’t it. Lie in one, lie in them all – so the saying goes.

    Did any catch the forum with obama and McCain, what a crock obama, when they talked about religion Obama wanted to still say like he did 7 months ago, and in his book Rev, Wright, was his Mentor and spiritual advisor,
    but like alway Obama fliped floped again and again,

    Obama showed today he is not ready for the 3am phone call,, he would get scared, and start stammering again,

    When Obama and McCain when they really debate, is Obama going to agree with everything McCain says, like he did with Hillary Clinton, and him give Obama all the answers ,,, and take him as his own later,,,
    Just like Hillary,, Even CNN News claims Obama Adopted all of Hillary’s Agendas, Why so many Obama supporter can not think for them self, the love the reality TV crap, Rock star image, Boy is this country going to suffer if Obama elected,,, I am a Hillary Supporter, this will be the first year I vote Republican because I don’t believe in throwing alway my Vote, and to me it still best for the job,
