God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned his own country.

On the one hand, there is Dr. Barack, the high-minded, Niebuhr-quoting speechifier who spent this past winter thrilling the Scarlett Johansson set and feeling the fierce urgency of now. But then on the other side, there’s Fast Eddie Obama, the promise-breaking, tough-minded Chicago pol who’d throw you under the truck for votes.

Fast Eddie. I like that. I still think he's a post turtle though. :-)

Thanks, I was amazed to find such visceral dislike of Obama in the NYT.

This is like the strip poker of politics....Slowly, Barrack's garments are being stripped...and he'll soon be naked and exposed for the dirty fake he is.
