Jim Geraghty at NRO covers these aspects:
Obama Makes His Anti-Trump Pitch… to Conservatives and Republicans The two most extraordinary sections of President Obama’s convention speech last night:
Look, we Democrats have always had plenty of differences with the Republican Party, and there’s nothing wrong with that; it’s precisely this contest of ideas that pushes our country forward. But what we heard in Cleveland last week wasn’t particularly Republican – and it sure wasn’t conservative.
Every other Democrat in the country is pulling out all the stops to tie every Republican on the ballot in 2016 to Donald Trump and his toxic favorable/unfavorable numbers, and along comes the President of the United States, the preeminent foe of the conservative movement and GOP for the past eight years, to say, “look, he doesn’t really speak for them.”
The second amazing part:
Our power comes from those immortal declarations first put to paper right here in Philadelphia all those years ago; We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that together, We, the People, can form a more perfect union.
The Obama version skips over a few words; the actual Declaration of Independence declares, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But the point is that the Democrats – the Democrats! – are citing the Founding Fathers and the document of our national creation in their argument. This used to be the Republicans’ style. By leaving it unused, the Democrats are picking it up and using it.
The most insufferable assertion from Obama’s speech came from the preceding sentences:
Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order. We don’t look to be ruled.
Oh, really, Mr. “I have a phone and a pen”? Careful, years of Obama-messiah talk from his true believers are being sent to the memory hole.The damn thing is that he does have Squirrel-Hair's number. "Wasn't particularly Republican and sure wasn't conservative" has to sting unless you're a completely ate-up Trump-bot.
And Stephen Kruiser at PJ Media has compiled a video montage of the MEC referring to himself 119 times in a speech ostensibly about Hillionaire.
He fancies himself as the neo Mandella now for the next 40 years or more. He obviously does not want to see his legacy erased quickly as Trump is claiming it will be as one of his chickens in every pot. Before he launches insults heard around the world. You might miss Obama's obeisance.
ReplyDeleteInalienable isn't it? Either way, with the word alien in it, it might offend a certain demographic that fears they will be sent packing.
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama, like most Democrats, has given his soul over to evil.
ReplyDeleteWay over the top there bloggie, way way over, but God and the saints aren't talking to me, you?
ReplyDeleteThink about the FHer agenda: normalization of sin and perversion, redistribution, acting like America's mortal enemies are no big deal.
ReplyDeleteAlso thinking it a virtue to perpetuate lies, such as that a video caused the jihadist attack on the Benghazi compound, or that Michael Brown was killed in cold blood (or, more generally, that there is some kind of major trend of white cops killing unarmed young black men). Or that the global climate is in some kind of trouble. Or that gender is fluid.
ReplyDeleteThis is evil.
