Untouchable Obama

UPDATE: Maoist Comrade Klonsky and fellow Bill Ayers buddy removed from Obama blog. Gateway Pundit. ***All these media-hog men of principle Obama surrounds himself with--his other spiritual mentor, the Rev. Michael "Rocky" Pfleger enjoyed himself on Good Morning America today. John Kass mentioned Pfleger the other day:
The national news media is of the mistaken belief that Pfleger is some radical cleric. Not where the mayor is concerned. Swain handles Pfleger's non-profit housing developments, which have received millions of dollars in city help. Pfleger is in effect Daley's precinct captain. He's always ready to shout down Daley's opponents as racists. And City Hall backs Obama, the Chicago Way.
Obama in Chicago yesterday says he ran as in independent, "Obama said he avoided city, state corruption". You might say he avoided doing anything about it when he could, then there was the convenient Tony Rezko dialing for dollars for Barack, and the Sun Times notes:
Obama did run as an independent Democrat but worked closely with state Senate President Emil Jones, an old-school organization Democrat. Obama runs for president with the full blessing of Mayor Daley.
Mm, yes we can. And Obama's Illinois legislative record, which is about all the record he has, was handed to him on a silver platter by the similarly ambitious State Senate President Emil Jones.

But Barack Obama is such a more perfect union, how dare we question his perfection? Karl Rove, WSJ illustrates Obama's chutzpah:

My former White House colleague Yuval Levin pointed out that Mr. Obama, in his first national TV ad rolled out Friday, claims credit for having "extended health care for wounded troops," citing the 2008 defense authorization. That bill passed 91-3 – but Mr. Obama was one of only six senators who didn't show up to vote. This brazen claim underscores the candidate's thin résumé and, again, his chutzpah.

Mr. Obama has now also played the race card, twice suggesting in recent weeks that Republicans will draw attention to the fact that he's black. Who is unaware of that? Americans overwhelmingly find it a hopeful, optimistic sign that the country could elect an African-American president. But they rightly want to know what kind of leader he might be. They may well reject as cynical any maneuver to discourage close examination of him by suggesting any criticism is racially motivated.

His possible veep Kathleen Sebelius deliberately brought this up again--who's really playing the race card? Democrats are obsessed with race.

But Barack Obama is above it all, the untouchable. Many Americans now think they can place their happiness in him, but what if the unthinkable happens?
