Check out this pathetic attempt by Fox News to smear Obama

If this is the best they've got he's a shoo in.

There's something rather indicative about this fact this post only has 1 comment... and MP's has over 120.

I'm not sure what it is exactly.

THX, forget that lousy clip. If you are not aware of Obamaīs heavy baggage by now you are not paying attention and probably donīt want to.

THX seems to have missed the point that Fox News were making (although they certainly made it poorly). The point is not that Obama and the older generation of Democrats are using the same words or examples just that the message Obama is giving is old. Obama’s USP is change, but the content of his rhetoric is no different from anything that leftists were saying in the 1960’s i.e. a whole load of rubbish about controlling prices, subsiding industries and reducing free trade, all of which has proven disastrous in the past but is repeated by Obama because those voting for him are either too young to remember or too drawn in by his empty rhetoric to care. I agree that the clips chosen by Fox poorly demonstrate the point (I’m sure they could have found a lot of clips that were more alike) but the general point is still true.

Exactly, Nick.

Obama's books are being serialised in the Mail at the moment and they read like socialist Mills & Boon. Watery writing with hopelessly contrived homilies.

Yesterdsay, I learned that he was careful to make friends with "Marxist professors" and - I hope I've recalled the first word right - "structural feminists" at university.

Message to Obama: go read Michael Nazir-Ali's latest essay - Marxism is dead, dead as the Monty Python parrot. It is as wicked as 1,000 wicked witches from the Wizard of Oz. Forget about it -and don't brag about hanging out with people who espoused it.

The last thing we need is a re-run of 60s dribble.

el gordo- I know it's a lousy attempt to smear Obama, but that's probably not what you meant

Nick & Laura- I didn't miss the point I know what Fox News were trying to do. Stephen's post was very funny so I responded in kind. You guys need to lighten up

Hillary actually was inevitable until the far Leftoids found an African American who fit their political bill. That wasn't apparent early on.
