Done up in Blueprint Blue
Everybody’s going to be talking about this New Yorker article all week —after they talk about the cover— so be sure to check it out:
Obama seems to have been meticulous about constructing a political identity for himself. He visited churches on the South Side, considered the politics and reputations of each one, and received advice from older pastors. Before deciding on Trinity United Church of Christ, he asked the Reverend Wright about critics who complained that the church was too “upwardly mobile,” a place for buppies.
“Buppies”? Ha, ha. Never mind the “word of God” —Obama was only in it for the political advantage. Needed to know how the congregation was perceived politically. There’s hardly any denying that. He’s such a goddamned fake, the notion that he’s a Manchurian candidate is almost impossible to ignore. Barack Hussein Obama is a calculated liar and a hypocrite. His nomination is the final proof of the Democratic Party’s contempt for their own country.
