A more than slightly disturbing observation from reading and listening to conservative talk and press. It is clear as hell that there is an almost concerted effort to smear Obama by any means necessary. Publishing and repeating every right wing nut in any country serves nobody but the losers with bitter dreams of "if only." It looks like the only thing the conservatives and Republicans have to offer is continual bomb throwing, this from a party and philosophy that is ideologically bankrupt and without an idea in the lot of them that might get us out of the current financial meltdown. They offer nothing but conservative bromides like "keep the government out of our affairs," let the markets work, gay marriage is evil, and other bullshit that hints "black is stupid." When those people who are living in glass houses of their own creation toss stones that are so ineffectual they can't even crack their own glass walls we have a zero bunch of jackals who don't have a clue. We all better hope that an Obama presidency is a lot better than the Republican-conservative so called "criticism."
