All American Otherness

What a surprise, that the dastardly GOP is responsible for the shortcomings of the great Barack; as if they advised him not to reverence the National Anthem or wear a flag pin; as if they created Jeremiah Wright and told Obama to attend his church for 20 years and listen to his bizarre ramblings. But of course, to the left, the motivation behind this all comes down to race:
"I'm asking a lot of the American people, and I know that," Mr. Obama said in an interview last month, acknowledging that his burden to win over many voters was greater because he is black. "My biography is not typical of a modern American president."
It's obvious that the left feels that this whole charade of packaging Obama as a black Jack Armstrong is necessitated by the ignorant prejudices of the vast majority of typical white bigots. And so, we'll be treated to a convention of a party who will hypocritically wrap itself in the American flag for a few days in the hopes of reaching the majority of Americans who are not ashamed of that flag the rest of the year.
You'd think that their last failed attempt at making their candidate seem presidential by sending him overseas would have taught them something about the American people, but thankfully, it has not.
