“Snobama” via Michelle Malkin

The kernel of the nut of this post is a bit muzzy. I spent considerable time on the photoshops and the post ended up rambling between several subjects. It began with a reverie, wondering if the disparate forces of the leftosphere and the leftist press were irrevocably estranged, or would they kiss deeply, with tongues, look into each other’s metrosexual eyes, cop a feel, get their noodle wet and make up in time to go back to their normal synchronized Republican bashing.

But the subject of the day is Obama’s pridefulness and hatred for the common man. which leftists are now framing as racist righties calling Obama “uppity”. But since he’s half-white, it could just be his hateful, bigoted white blood, crazed with entitlement and the cudgel of patriarchal repression, smashing down on the poor white trash of Appalachia.

docweasel’s experience as a crime reporter, would certainly be good experience for covering the criminals who infest the political world, and yes, that’s weak, but we’re too tired and lazy to make a new image to fit in with this post, so here’s your thinly associated comic book cover we did 3 years ago — cllck to embiggen

The more the leftwingnuts whinge, the surer you can be that Obama took some serious damage tonight, on top of the Wright Stuff and BitterCling blood loss. And there’s a new article by a Democrat trendster saying Obama will certainly get an clutch cargo classic ass-whoopin’ this fall, the question is by how much?

By all accounts, Obama sucked at tonight’s debate. Righties like Marc Ambinder point out that yeah, the questions were rough and more on the personal level than on policy, but that the personal is at least as important as the policy stuff.

A president is a politician, first and foremost, not a policy wonk. He has people for that. The president has to have the political skills to get the public behind his policy, and the skills to manipulate, stroke and threaten the Congress into acting on it. If he can’t handle questions from news reporters, how is he going to handle foreign leaders during negotiations?

As the nutroots has coalesced around Obama, its become easier and easier to reconcile with Hillary, and feel fellow feeling for her as they bash her and defame her in the same way they have bashed Republicans for years. The enemy of my enemy and all that.

It has made me wonder if there is a collateral feeling on the part of Hillary defenders: since McCain rarely, if ever, attacks her these days, less even than she does him lately, I wonder does it follow that Hillary defenders are seeing Obama as more the enemy, and since McCain attacks him, the enemy of their enemy is…

The QOAE is wondering why Spitzer’s wife stood up there with him on the stage of shame while he disgustingly danced around admitting what he really did and really apologizing for it.

I’m getting a good laugh at all the liberal bloggers who are whistling past the graveyard, consoling themselves that Obama has again hit it out of the ballpark, that Wright has allowed him to distance himself gracefully, that the connexion is broken and there is now only clear sailing to 11-4 and President Obama, its all clear skies from here on out and there’s a bluebird on his shoulder, should he care to look and a great big rainbow shining above his halo.
