Where Did Barack Obama’s Mojo Go?
LA Times (a real puff piece)
A few cuts from the LA Times piece
Something’s going on.
No bounce. Not even a roll.
“Obama has not picked up any ground against McCain on foreign issues,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “And some 52% think McCain would do a better job than Obama on the war in Iraq — virtually the same number who felt that way in April.”
Obama seems to have everything going for him. A fresh face. A smooth, cadenced speaking style suited for TV. A message of change at a time when Americans historically favor change, after one party holds the White House for two terms. And after several convictions of GOP legislators.
You get the drift. Click HERE for a description of the hard breathing dream, uh, article.
Confederate Yankee sees what the morning after would be like;
Barack Obama sweeps in wearing a pretty smile. He tells us we’re beautiful. He utters sweet nothings in our ears, telling us we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
He whispers, “It’s different not because of me, but because of you. Because you are tired of being disappointed and tired of being let down. You’re tired of hearing promises made and plans proposed in the heat of a campaign only to have nothing change.”
And as he smiles that beautiful smile, and it all sorta make sense if we don’t try to dig too deep. He’s trying hard to charm our pants off, and we’re inclined to believe him, because believing is easier.
He’s pretty, and he’s glitzy, and he’s popular, and he’s hoping you won’t realize the trainwreck he is until the morning after the election.
