America Loves a Loser
America and the American media as a whole loves a loser - no matter the race, religion, gender or political affiliation. This distraction generated by the media HELPS Obama as it makes him just like many of our past post-Nixon Presidents. Filled with that ONE family member that makes them less perfect as once thought and YES, less of an elitist. Our past presidents were no different than you or I with that ONE loser relative that we hoped the press wouldn’t check on twice. That’s why Obama was so smart as to equate Wright with any member of his family, including his racial slur slingin’ Nana.
SAT Question #75 (10 points)
Reverend Wright is to Barack Obama as:
A. Billy Carter is to Jimmy Carter
B. Ron Reagan Jr. is to Ronald W. Reagan
C. Neal Bush is to George H.W. Bush
D. Roger Clinton is to Bill Clinton
E. George W. Bush (1970’s) is to George W. Bush (2000)
F. All of the above - CORRECT
The media will begin turning against this nutjob (and I say that with all the respect and knowledge a preacher’s kid can), and as part of keeping the story alive will actually create a narrative that Wright is trying to destroy Obama’s chances or secretly supports Hillary. Once the mainstream creates that picture, the story will begin to die and they’ll bond with Obama for being so forgiving to Reverend Wrong, and the polls will follow to bring back support. [This same pattern worked for Hillary to become U.S. Senator months following Clinton's impeachment] The Media will turn to the next firestorm or generate another investigation on a candidate’s family. Gee, what’s Hillary’s brother Tony been up to since he was paid to have brother-in-law Bill make pardons before leaving office?
Leaving the Press Club yesterday, I saw more shaking heads coming from the balcony (filled with press) than the cheers (from supporters on the floor). Start reading the columns over the next few days and note the lean to pointing Wright as a modern day Billy Carter.
Despite Wright’s degrees, perception is key. Mainstream America does not want to understand the black church and black America does not want to explain it. America does not want to hear "G*d Damn America" from anyone, no matter the education, while men and women are fighting and dying in a nonsence war.
Do Wright’s word worry me? Yes, for the moment. But these stories are necessary in preparing a president and reminding him/her that America loves a loser.
