After several days of nothing to really worry about in regards to Obama, I wasn't happy seeing Obama have to deal with BS charges from the 100 million dollar Clinnochios and a man who married into big big money, of being an elitist. It seemed like the strange double standard had reared its head to try and stop Obama yet again.
Obama is treated as beng made of 'teflon' - but if he has that reputation, its because of his handling of potential trouble, and not because of any actual Obama bias. McCain on the other hand, gets by because things simply go unreported. He has yet to actually handle any crisis. Obama though, seems to be a master of handling things that would've crippled Kerry.
There is a word that came from a Simpsons episode: crisitunity, a word the Chinese people (Homer thinks) made up to describe the ability of turning a crisis into an opportunity. Obama has this gift. Two of his most presidential moments have now come in the wake of issues Fox News talking heads bluntly and openly claimed cost him the election.
In dealing with an issue shifting him from the Muslim to the radical black Christian, Obama used the moment to play a 'healer' - an honest man laying it all on the table honestly, not pandering, but speaking to people as if they were adults. People tried to parse his words in a last gasp to control the narrative, but it didn't work. And now in dealing with being called an elitist, he has emerged from this moment looking more like the candidate of the people than ever.
I'm sure some supporter of Clinton's out there wants to say "This isn't over - that applauding crowd are simply the Kool aid drinkers. Just wait, the polls are going to come out and Obama is TOAST". I'll believe it when I see it. Its clear to me that his beverage speciality is actually lemonade.
Not This Time brand lemonade - tastes sweet to us, but leaves the sourest pucker on every Clinton and McCain supporter nationwide.
So I brewed up this PhotoShop to express my awe at Obama's mastery at dealing with crisis.
Have a good weekend.
