Barack Obama is truly full of himself these days. I really do hope that he beats Hillary out of the Democratic nomination and has to face someone like Mitt Romney, John McCain, Duncan Hunter, or Fred Thomson. Yes, McCain has been gaining traction with me lately. I can't fault the man completely for being wrong on two important issues when he gets the other important issues right.

Obama on the other hand has yet to be right (as in correct not conservative) on any issue. He seems to think he can bring about change in this country, more so than Hillary. The kind of change he represents is actually the same kind as Hillary and means ending the Constitution and all that defines America: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

From FoxNews:

"There's no doubt that we represent the kind of change Senator Clinton can't deliver on. And part of it's generational," Obama told FOX News." Senator Clinton and others have been fighting some of the same fights since the '60s. It makes it very difficult for them to bring the country together to get things done. And I think that's what people hunger for."

Okay, so there is a generational issue here. This is news to me. How is Obama planning on brining the country together? What has he accomplished in his two years in the U.S. Senate? Zero! Let's remember that Obama was elected to the Senate with 70% of the Illinois vote, which would be impressive except he was running virtually unopposed (the token effort by Keyes was merely a show, not a real campaign). Receiving 70% under the conditions in whcih he ran is rather embarrassing low.

"You can have all the establishment you want and all the Washington endorsements you want, but ultimately people are going to make a choice on who really cares about them and who has a track record for fighting for them."

Okay, he is partially right; most Americans are tired of the Washington political machine. I certainly am. That's why I am pulling for someone other than Giuliani as the anointed savior of the GOP. As for Obama, I seriously doubt he cares about the people as a whole and his track record thus far is the same as his record in the Senate: Zero! Nada! He has none. His plans: abandon Iraq to terrorists and Iran; invade Pakistan, which is still an ally (although we can't be sure for how much longer with the troubles they are having); raise taxes on working Americans; maintain the status quo on Social Security, or expand its taxation rather than reform and privatize the beast (which is the right thing to do); amnesty for illegal aliens and putting them on the path to citizenship, skipping ahead of those who play by the rules.

He added that voters are "tired of the tit for tat. They're tired of divisive politics. What they want is somebody who can unify the country, push back against the special interests and stand up for what they really believe in."

Obama is not capable of uniting the country. Quite frankly, I don't know if any one is capable of doing so. At least not so long as the hard-Left controls the Democratic Party and groups like MoveOn.org continue to spew their venom against men who have served their country for their entire adult lives (like they did to General Petreus with their "Betray Us" ad). When groups like MoveOn flourish with their messages of hate and anti-Americanism, it creates such a poisonous environment for all Americans and divisiveness is the rule, rather than the exception.

Yes, I hope Obama wins the Democratic Nomination and the top of the ticket in November, 2008. Why? Because Obama is a candidate that even Ron Paul can beat. What do you think will happen if he faces a team like Romney/Hunter?
