BARACK, THE MAGIC NEGRO'S ECONOMIC MAGIC

“BARACK, THE MAGIC NEGRO” HAD BETTER KNOW SOME REAL MAGIC

President-elect Barack Hussein “We-Only-Have-One-President-at-a-Time” Obama sure is sending mixed signals. On the one hand he stands virtually mute on foreign policy issues, on the other he speaks out quite a bit and in contradictions about the economy.

Methinks he wants to keep both hands clean.

With the blessings of a mass media blinded by his light during the primary and general election campaigns, he skated through the muck and mire of Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn and Tony Rezko and emerged untarnished, at least in the eyes of a majority of the electorate.

George W. Bush would have been hooted off the stage for his incompetence had a major player in his administration been negotiating, or doing whatever Rahm was doing, with someone such as Blago–and behind his back, if that truly were the case. We will probably never learn the substance of their many chats.

Then came the withdrawal as Commerce Secretary-designate of the much lauded, Bill Richardson...
