True "Blue" Obama

There have been hints as to what Obama is really about by the company he keeps. The "G-d America" "Rev." Wright and even his "proud of America the first time" wife, Michelle Obama, set off alarms. Obama himself, however, has projected a carefully crafted image that is neither "blue" nor "red". On the strength of an excellent PR job, he has avoided having to account for the fallout that usually would come with the most liberal voting record in the Senate.

His recent "bitter cling to" speech changes all of that. In the world of "us" vs. "them", Obama clearly isn't one of us. Those of us who believe in the 2nd amendment, or are religious or think that our borders should be protected or that "free trade" is a farce, are from his perspective, simply bitter simpletons. Our unhappiness about our government's apparent deafness to our very legitimate concerns about America, are in his "Davos-land" world view, the product of angry irrational animosity.

"Change, change and more change" turns out to be only a mantra to fool us into voting for more of the same.

Meanwhile, closer to home in Ridgely, the Commissioner election race is..... stay tuned...
