Obama fans like Obama, so Obama fans justify anything he does. Sure, he has voted for the Iraq War six times. He has NEVER voted against it. Yet they believe him when he says he’s against it. And so on.
Projection
•
Much as they did in 1992, liberals are imagining that the Democratic nominee will be the Liberal Avenger.
Half
•
I hope Obama wins. It’s more fun to criticize a Democrat for his hypocrisy and worthlessness than a Republican for being true to his well-heeled donors.
Change Like You Can’t Believe
•
Barack Obama has exactly as much respect for privacy rights as George W. Bush. But it’s different–because he’s smart and attractive.
Generational Warfare Lite
•
For the first time since Nixon, pundits are talking about a generation gap between the young and the old. If there’s a conflict, it’s low intensity.
Responsibility
•
Barack Obama, trying to court conservative whites with dim views of black males, attacks black men for being bad parents.
Shortly Before the Fall of Rome
•
Disaster looms. You can feel it. But the candidates keep yammering about inanities.
The Feminist
•
Drawn largely in response to Hillary Clinton’s victories in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Feels Like Eternity
•
Barack Obama delivers an amazing speech–when he reads it. When he talks off the cuff, however, it’s a painful experience. He…just…seems…so…desperate…not…to…risk…making…a…mistake.
