Rookie United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is the current frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination because (1) he ran a strategically smart campaign, initially running as a post-race candidate who happened to be black in overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire and then receiving about 90% of the black vote in the South Carolina Democrat presidential primary (in which the black vote was decisive), (2) the liberal media enthusiastically supported him as the most liberal alternative, ignoring his lies and gaffes and treating his lack of military experience, youth and lack of singificant political accomplishment as advantages, (3) the media did not even really start to subject him to scrutiny until March 2008 (a year after he had begun his presidential campaign and after he had survived Super Tuesday and gone on a long winning streak), (3) both race and gender helped him in his race against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, as 1984 Democrat vice presidential candidate Geraldine A. Ferraro publicly explained, with the black vote lining up solidly (but not unanimously) behind him as the candidate with some black blood and more men voting for Obama because Hillary is a woman than women voted against Obama because Obama is a man.

What is even more stunning than the shocking success of a naive person who supported infanticide and is patently unprepared to the Presidency candidate, but is young, slender, soft-spoken, well-mannered, half-black and half-white and, as non-partisan National Journal reported, the most liberal of the 100 United States Senators), is how ruthless Obama has been in pursuing the Presidency.

When Obama announced his presidential campaign, Obama “disinvited” Rev. Jeremiah A. “God damn America” Wright, Senior Pastor of Chicago’s Black Liberation Theology Trinity United Church of Christ and the man who Obama claimed brought him to Jesus Christ and inspired him with a sermon from which Obama took the title of his second book (The Audacity of Hope, as well as performed his wedding ceremony, baptized his two daughters and served as his pastor for about a score of years.

Rev. Wright had been invited to speak at the event, but then was not allowed even to appear in public with Obama (they reportedly prayed privately together instead), because, as Obama told Rev. Wright, his sermons could be “rough.”

About a year later, the public finally learned how “rough” those sermons could be and at last Obama was pressed to explain how he could have stayed in Rev. Wright’s church for so many year and to disassociate himself from Rev. Wright.

Obama claimed not to have heard Rev. Wright’s outrageous sermons, but even if that is true, how could he not have heard OF THEM?

Faced with the risk of offending his faithful black base by throwing Rev. Wright under the bus, Obama opted instead to criticize Rev. Wright’s outrageous sermons and to throw his white grandmother under the bus.Obama desperately needed a reason for not throwing Rev. Wright under the bus, so Obama claimed that “disowning” Rev. Wright would be like disowning the black community or his white grandmother and threw his white grandmother under the bus, by disclosing that she had privately made remarks that had made him “cringe” and confided to him that she was afraid to be walking on the street when she ecountered black men whom she did not know.

AS THOUGH GRANNY’S ALLEGED REMARKS (EVEN IF MADE) WERE EQUIVALENT TO THE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS REV. WRIGHT HAD SAID FROM THE PULPIT IN SUNDAY SERMONS!

Ironically, Rev. Wright then dared to say at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that Obama said the things he said about Rev. Wright's outrageous statements because he (Obama) is a politician, not a pastor, implying that Obama actually agreed with Rev. Wright, so Obama finally threw Rev. Wright under the bus as a matter of political necessity.

Next the Obamas opted to leave Trinity United Church (as a matter of political necessity), but not to denounce Trinity United Church, despite the hateful, racist, sexist, crazed statements made by Rev. Wright, Rev. Otis Mosss and Rev. Michael Pfleger (a visting priest) in sermons enthusaistically applauded at that church (figuring that would be politically hurtful).

What WON’T the overwhelmingly ambitious and calculating Obama do to become President?
