The Democrats are very, very worried over the lack of Lord Obama’s dominance in the polls, even after his lackluster bounce from the Democratic convention. They’re really concerned out there, and now they’re blaming the usual suspect, they’re blaming his lack of a big lead in the polls on race, so very typical.

The arrogance of this is mind-boggling. But the answer is obvious given the fact that the Democrats, joined by big media, have tried to sell Lord Obama as the only savior who can deliver the country from the problems it faces. However, for all the media exposure and Democratic spin, most Americans aren’t buying the Messiah hype.

Liberals think Lord Obama should be far ahead of McCain because they’ve done nothing but spin McCain as being a carbon copy of what they believe is a very unpopular president, George Bush. But if Bush was so unpopular with the American electorate, why was he re-elected in 2004 when we had another Democrat who, for all intents and purposes, was just as polished and articulate as Lord Obama? But that is a topic for another discussion.

Recently Peter Beinart on “Larry King Live” said to the effect “there remains a significant percentage of white Americans, hard to know how many, but perhaps 20 percent who might normally vote Democratic who seem, because of racial anxiety, so far to be unwilling to support Barack Obama. People won’t say it about themselves, but if you ask them, will people they know not vote for Barack Obama, then you get about the percentage of 20 percent. Barack Obama has a huge lead on almost all of the issues, and Democrats have a huge generic advantage. So why is his advantage so small? I think — although one cannot be 100 percent sure — I think there is increasing circumstantial evidence that he is being weighed down, as so many African-American candidates have in the past, by racial anxiety or outright racism.”

I knew this was going to happen.

Oh right, it has to be about racism, as nothing else can explain Obama’s inability to sway the majority of voters. Please, get a clue.

It can’t be the fact that he is avoiding meeting with military people in hospitals. It can’t be that he’s arrogant and condescending to certain voting blocs that tend to “cling to God and guns.” It can’t be that many of his best friends have a criminal record of hatred toward the United States of America and have made careers on it. It can’t be that his wife is ashamed of America and has undergone a makeover in order to tone that down. It can’t possibly be that he tells 7-year-olds who ask him why he wants to be president that his country is less than it once was.

Oh, it can’t possibly be due to anything with Lord Obama and who he is because he is The Messiah, and everybody loves Democrats, and everybody hates Bush, and Obama’s new and unique and we’ve never had anybody like him before. So obviously it must be the Klan is still alive in American politics.

It can’t possibly be that a lot of Americans have now seen Lord Obama as The Messiah and they don’t buy it. They’re ready for some substance from the guy, and they haven’t gotten any. It can’t be that the American people might be going through a backlash over the naked brazenness of big media trying to make this guy president before we’ve had the election. Oh, it couldn’t be any of these things.

No, no, no, no, no. Can’t be this.

It has to be America is such a racist place. Nothing else can explain it.

Could it be that the American people are tired of hearing a highly successful individual complain and whine that there are going to be people who criticize him because he doesn’t look like all the other presidents on the dollar bill? Wait, isn’t that a racial comment from Lord Obama trying to paint himself as a racial victim?

I’d like to ask a question of Peter Beinart and others who are now throwing the race card out. What percentage of minorities out there won’t vote for McCain because of his race?

Some media outlets have suggested that as mush as 92-93 percent of blacks are going to vote for Obama. Well, isn’t that bare-faced racism?

If you’re going to throw around the race card, throw it at everybody. Beinart is just another pundit who has no clue what America thinks.

Lord Obama says he represents blue-collar Americans, but aren’t these the very folks that many in his own party with the likes of big media are calling racists? The truth is, Democrats detest blue-collar America as the God-clinging, gun-toting racists that continue to keep them out of the White House. He would be overjoyed to win without them, but knows he can’t.
