Then she and her friends made a poster explaining what they did. Very well explained, but their spelling could use some work.

It quotes, for instance, this passage from Reagan’s inauguration speech – a passage which is eerily similar to the sentiments that Obama echoes today, a quarter century later:

“More than anything else, I want my candidacy to unify our country, to renew the American spirit and sense of purpose. I want to carry our message to every American, regardless of party affiliation, who is a member of this community of shared values . . . For those who have abandoned hope, we’ll restore hope and we’ll welcome them into a great national crusade to make America great again!”

Haynes does a good job illustrating that Obama is not the cartoonishly simple candidate he is painted by his opponents to be (of course!), and that he does in fact do an excellent job pivoting from soaring rhetoric to detailed and thoughtful positions on a variety of issues.

Of course, Haynes, who writes for the Weekly Standard, is probably not a Obama supporter, which means that the Republicans are formulating more sophisticated (and likely more effective) anti-Obama strategies than the ones that Hillary Clinton and others have deployed – all to such little avail! Let the games begin!

Hillary

Barack

In yet another blatant hypocricy, he did so saying that Libbys sentence was “excessive.”

A 30 month sentence is apparently way too long of a sentence for a friend, but as the Governor of Texas, the treasonous Bush had no problem with death sentences for the mentally disabled. I’m still not sure why we aren’t working on impeachment…
