Ultra-Conservative George Will Loves Obama !!!!
Right Wing Nut George Will: "Democrats Should Vote for Obama"

From the Washington Post...

Democrats Living Dangerously
Early Voting Insanity And a GOP Gift

<snip>

Although Obama is, to say no more, parsimonious with his deviations from liberal orthodoxy, he is said to exemplify "post-partisan" politics. The same is sometimes said of McCain. Five days before Super Tuesday, McCain received an endorsement from California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, another supposed practitioner of post-partisanship, which often looks a lot like liberalism that would prefer not to speak its name. Three days before that endorsement, the emblem of Schwarzenegger's post-partisanship -- his extremely liberal (lots of mandates and taxes) and expensive ($14.9 billion, slightly more than the state's current budget deficit) plan for universal health care -- died in an 11-member state Senate committee, where it got just one vote.
Perhaps we are seeing the future. It looks familiar.

7. Obama Had the Most Liberal Voting Record In The Senate Last Year
And still, he attracts Republicans. This is a fantastic chance for people to come together over true Democratic values.

8. It's easy to love Obama when your HATE level for Hillary is so high.
George and the boys have been attacking Hillary for more than 16 years. It is so obvious. Once they trash her and keep her from getting the nomination watch the soft bigotry smear Obama. It will be a different game then. Just watch.

9. Charles Krauthammer said Obama was "blowback" to white liberals
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 10:26 PM by billbuckhead
<http://www.redding.com/news/2008/jan/19/hillary-faces-politically-correct-blowback/>

"But where, I ask you, do such studied and/or sincere expressions of racial offense come from? From a decades-long campaign of enforced political correctness by an alliance of white liberals and the black civil rights establishment intended to delegitimize and marginalize as racist any criticism of their post-civil rights-era agenda.

Anyone who has ever made a principled argument against affirmative action only to be accused of racism knows exactly how these tactics work. Or anyone who has merely opposed a more recent agenda item -- hate crimes legislation -- on the grounds that murder is murder and that the laws against it are both venerable and severe. Remember that scurrilous pre-election ad run by the NAACP in 2000 implying that George Bush was indifferent to a dragging death of a black man at the hands of white racists in Texas because he did not support hate crime legislation?

The nation has become inured to the playing of the race card, but "our first black president" (Toni Morrison on Bill Clinton) and his consort are not used to having it played against them."
