And so it begins. MSNBC, affiliate of NBC, subsidiary of GE, one of the cornerstones of the military industrial complex, and one of the nation's largest military contractors, convenes its Wednesday morning 8 am political panel, Mika, Joe, Chris and Pat.
Chris Matthews, done with beating up Hillary (for now), starts on Obama: Obama's "love of country" is "conditional", a "transaction" based upon "what it's done for him". Obama doesn't "get" the "patriotism of the working class" Obama's church affiliation and later disaffiliation were purely "cynical" and "political". Obama appeals to the "upper end" and "the poor" but can't relate to "the middle" "the working class" "the guy who's proud to be an American". They see "no evidence of his ability to connect with the average man" as opposed to Obama's "exotic life style".
This week in a local paper, Leland Lehrman, Editor of the Sun News, wrote an article uncovering some of the guise of Barack Obama.
It's a very detailed article tying up some loose ends I had not put together. And as he states, "But two recent analyses by respected senior political strategists, Ambassador Joe Wilson and historian Webster Tarpley, have totally burst the bubble."
