Posted at 12:06am on Apr. 15, 2008 Obama is an Elitist, Non-Uniter

By TheRealestRealist

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how Barack Obama was incapable of unifying America because he is very liberal and not in touch with most Americans. The past couple of weeks have proven me correct. The Jeremiah Wright controversy and now "Bitter-Gate" both demonstrate that Obama is a man who is out of touch with most Americans. If you have not heard about "Bitter-Gate" yet, please check out this link before reading further:

"Iran was integral in persuading Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to halt attacks by his militia on Iraqi security forces, an Iraqi lawmaker said Monday."

Prime Minister Al-Maliki recently made a very bold decision to take on radical Shiites in Basra led by Muqtada Al-Sadr. A fierce battle raged cross country for about a week and then Iraqi members of Parliament went to Iran. They asked Iran to prod Al-Sadr into laying down his arms and furthermore requested that Iran stop giving supplies and weapons to Al-Sadr. Astoundingly, Iran agreed and Al-Sadr declared a ceasefire; according to a cnn report which cited one of the Iraqi lawmakers.

Posted at 12:12pm on Mar. 27, 2008 My Drama with Obama: He Cannot and Will Not Unite America

By TheRealestRealist

I do not like Barack Obama. I'm a Republican, so that might be expected, but my animus goes beyond my dislike of his policies. My feelings about him are rather personal. I am annoyed by him because of the way he has campaigned and what he pretends to be.

At the end of the day, after "Born in the USA" has quit playing on the loudspeaker, after the stump speech is over, and after all the supporters have left; candidates go drink a beer and use the bathroom just like everyone else . They are not heroes, nor saints, saviors, or ideological masterminds. They are human beings with characteristics, faults, and biases. Most of the time, they are charismatic but terribly ruthless individuals who will do just about anything to get into power.
