If Obama Wins, It Will Be Because He Was Lucky

The Republicans bungled 6 years of control with undisciplined spending. The economy tanked at the best possible time for Obama, creating the perfect mixture for anti-Republican sentiment. People are voting for Obama because he's a Democrat, because they hate Bush, because they blame the GOP for the economy, because he's black, because he inspires them with his smooth demeanor and eloquence.

But Obama will not win because of superior ideas. Any other time his proposals would have sunk his candidacy. Think about it: tax increases during a downturn in the economy? Spreading the wealth? $3 trillion in new spending? Think of Rev. Wright, Ayers, Father Pflager, Marching with Farrakhan on Washington, the bitter religious and gun folks speech, the gaffes by Biden and Michele. Some candidacies have died for less than half the controversies. Its a Democrat year.

McCain is an American hero. He's humble. He's a proven leader. He knows war. He is vastly more experienced and qualified. He would make a great president. If it had not been for the timing, I believe he would be ahead by double digits. At any rate, he may still pull off an improbable victory.

Yes, it was luck and a near billion dollar budget for his campaign. Obama bought his ticket to the white house.

He (Obama himself) wishes to be YOUR president too you know . . . if you dont want that, MOVE OUT THE COUNTRY (like I would have done if McCain would have been elected). Embrace your new Black, I mean Bi-Racial President and move on.

However, if you dont like it, I am most sure Canada or Mexico will be more than happy to take on a new citizen or two.

Interesting that you found it necessary to include the part in bold.

It wasn't necessary at all unless one is trying to send a not so subtle message!

I think you are the one that needs to MOVE ON or MOVE OUT!

A hater because I have an opinion? Okay. But I still think Obama got lucky in terms of the circumstances that compelled people to vote for him. Don't hate him. Or you. Just vehemently disagree with y'all. I'm over it. You won. Yippie.

Conservatives don't threaten to move out of the country when they lose elections, they go back to work.
