Don Surber has a nice bit on how Obama is self destructing. Or is it self deconstructing. Well what ever Obama is doing to himself there are a lot of twists and turns. Lots of them. Lots and lots of them.
He’s looking less like Kennedy, and more like Steve Urkel.
In the 1980s, a smart, talented, hard-working, young intellectual came to Chicago and skyrocketed to success.
But enough about Steve Urkel. This is a political blog and so I must discuss again Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
Or rather his lapel pin, which has become like Donovan’s mountain. First there is a lapel pin, then there is no lapel pin, then there is.
He put on a patriotic lapel pin shortly after 9/11 to show his patriotism.
He stopped wearing one when opinion swung away from the war in Iraq.
He started wearing it again after word spread that he told the radical chic in San Francisco that rural Pennsylvanians won’t vote for him because they fear outsiders as they cling to their guns and their religion.
Finally, there is proof that Obama is his own man. He does not need the help of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to make himself out as an out-of-touch, far-left radical.
Don even goes so far as to write parody song about the whole deal. Obama is now a joke. He has become even more forked than Kerry was at this stage of the Presidential campaign. There is an iron clad rule in politics. Jokes don’t get elected. Especially bad jokes.

I hope you are right, but he’s still polling well nationally. There are enough negative votes against any Republican, plus identity politics votes, plus people swooning over the Idea of Obama rather than Obama Real. It adds up.
I think that the friendship between Rev. Wright, Ayers, and Sen. Obama is more questionable, plus the things he has said about typical white people and those bitter small town Americans that hold on to guns and religion, than Barak’s lapel pin. Of course, all of this tells of his plan for change in America.
