(Note:Um, yeah, this is an actual Obama support poster, although the blog below it is not, I don’t believe, uhm…  think.)

My last post focusesd on associations with the Radical Left, and they go to the question “Who is the REAL Barack?”  Part of this confusion stems from the fact that there is very little discussion about what this guy really stands for.  Much of that is not really his fault, as he’s a good looking youngish man with an excellent speaking voice.  For many who are easily swayed, and who do not pay attention, this is 80% of the game.  

The fact that the media has gone insane — to a degree that eclipses even the man-love for Bill Clinton in his pre-Monica hey day — does not help matters for helping the voters get a grasp on what Obama stands for.   Of course, he’s also somewhat to blame with regard to some of his recent hard tacks to the right on the War (oops! I guess the Surge did work) and energy issues like drilling.    Still, I hope we are able to discuss his views a little bit more realistically in the coming months, and I beleive the debates will help that process.  

In the meantime, here’s a funny clip from the Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, who’s finally gotten around to poking some harmless fun at the Messianic aspects of the Obama campaign.    I figured this had to happen eventually, btw, as there was (as you will see) too much “comedy gold” to be mined over some of the over-the-top superficial aspects of the process thus far.  Enjoy (for as long as the vid remains viable):
