Default Obama's Tough-Guy Act

OBAMA SMART AS A PISTOL WITH NEW TOUGH-GUY ACT


Last updated: 4:27 am
June 27, 2008

http://www.nypost.com/seven/06272008...h_g_117495.htm

THE Democratic Party has long been mocked as the Mommy Party for its soft, nurturing governing style and its paralyzing patience for listening to dissent from every quarter, no matter how small or irrelevant.

The Republican Party is the Daddy Party - always tough, determined and willing to do whatever dirty work is necessary to get the job done.

Democrats want Oprah Winfrey. Republicans want Jack Bauer.

But now that Barack Obama has taken over the Democratic Party, he's bending these "genderizations."

He's taking Mommy out of the Mommy Party. Now, it's the party that strides past a female reporter and calls her "sweetie" to dismiss her silly little question.

And if you're wondering who's in charge, don't.

Within days of winning the nomination, Obama moved party headquarters to his home town of Chicago and started pushing party heads around, telling them they can't raise money from PACs and Washington lobbyists.

Yet when it comes to raising his own money, he tossed overboard his campaign promises to participate in the public financing system so he can maintain his massive cash advantage over the Republicans.

And in the ultimate display of testosterone, Obama unsheathed a new campaign emblem that looked emarkably like the presidential seal. (He has since dropped it.)

All-inclusive to the point of absurdity? Not anymore.

Obama operatives last week rooted out a couple of Muslim women and ordered them to keep away from the bleachers behind the candidate unless they removed their head scarves.

Coddler of criminals? Not anymore.

Obama - rated the most liberal member of the US Senate- now sides with the most conservative members of the Supreme Court in supporting a state's right to execute someone who rapes a child.

The candidate of anti-gun sissies? Nope.

Obama may as well have strapped on his John Wayne chaps and holster yesterday to announce his support of the Supreme Court's decision that the Second Amendment guaranteeing gun rights actually means what it says.

Are the Democrats now the party of states' rights, gun rights and the death penalty?

This wild election just keeps getting wilder.

As Obama moves rightward and gets tougher, Republicans are desperately trying to portray him as some sort of arrogant flip-flopper.

But these audacious moves by him are not signs of weakness; they're signs of a man who will win at any cost.

Isn't that what they used to say about the Clintons?

So he's got your vote now? After all, this is all more substantive than any of the crap you go on about in here.

She also has more gravity, due to her larger mass.

Obama's been consistently getting more conservative on the issues, as is McCain.

One can only hope that this trend continues!

I'd vote for Jack Bauer, and even the black President they had. Although they both are fictional, so is Obama's record.

Oh yeah, there is no doubt you would vote for fictional hollywood characters.

You've made that perfectly clear, JLB.
