Steyn: To Obama, 'We' Means 'Me'

Sun, May 4, 2008 at 9:16:04 am PDT

Mark Steyn on Barack Obama’s sudden decision to throw his pastor of 20 years under the bus: To Obama, ‘we’ means ‘me’.

The notion that the Amazing Obama might be just another politician doing what politicians do seems to have affronted the senator more than any of the stuff about America being no different from al-Qaida and the government inventing AIDS to kill black people. In his belated “disowning” of Wright, Obama said, “What I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing. Anybody who knows me and anybody who knows what I’m about knows that – that I am about trying to bridge gaps and that I see the – the commonality in all people.”

Funny how tinny and generic the sonorous uplift rings when it’s suddenly juxtaposed against something real and messy and human. As he chugged on, the senator couldn’t find his groove and couldn’t prevent himself from returning to pick at the same old bone: “If what somebody says contradicts what you believe so fundamentally, and then he questions whether or not you believe it in front of the National Press Club, then that’s enough. That’s – that’s a show of disrespect to me.”

And we can’t have that, can we?

Obama is NOT toast. My prediction is that he will be the Dem nominee, and he will give McCain fits in the months to come. Many people will vote for Obama based only on his youth and good looks, and by then the Reverend problems will have faded to the background.

And, Steyn is great, because, almost every column I read by him, I learn a new word. Today's word is "simulacrum".

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is the junior United States Senator from Illinois and a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. He married in 1992 and has two daughters. Obama has written two books: a memoir of his youth titled Dreams from My Father, and a personal commentary on U.S. politics titled The Audacity of Hope.

Born to a Kenyan father and an American mother, he passed most of his childhood and adolescent years in Honolulu, Hawaii. At age six, he moved to Jakarta where he lived with his mother and Indonesian stepfather for four years. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university lecturer, and lawyer before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.

Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in January 2003. After winning a landslide primary victory in March 2004 to become the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he cosponsored legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In the current 110th Congress, he has sponsored legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the war in Iraq, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care as top national priorities.

More from the column:


"It was never a great speech. It was a simulacrum of a great speech written to flatter gullible pundits into hailing it as the real deal. It should be "required reading in classrooms," said Bob Herbert in the New York Times; it was "extraordinary" and "rhetorical magic," said Joe Klein in Time – which gets closer to the truth: As with most "magic," it was merely a trick of redirection."

I love how Steyn gut punches the commentariat.

34 Blackacre  5/04/08 9:29:41 am reply quote

Make no mistake. The belated denunciation of the Rev. Wright was a set-up. The Philadelphia speech did not stop the festering. So the Reverend doubled-down on his hate-filled rhetoric, with the goal of presenting the Obamessiah with yet another opportunity to try to put distance between the two of them. Now, of course, we're told by Obamarosa and the like that it's time to "move on." How convenient. Well I'm not buying it.

One more thing. If it was the Reverend Wright who, according to the Obamessiah, helped him find his Christian faith, then that is sufficient -- in and of itself -- to cause me great pause. Wright's hate-filled vision of Christianity is well outside the mainstream and yet that's what's filled the empty vessel.

I love how he nails Michelle Obama & Rev Wright at the same time:

I'm not sure why Michelle would stick "pastor of a church" in that list of downscale occupations: Her pastor drives a Mercedes and lives in a gated community. But, insofar as I understand Mrs. O, she feels that many Harvard and Princeton graduates have to give up their life's dream of being a minimum-wage "community organizer" (whatever that is) and are forced to become corporate lawyers, investment bankers and multinational CEOs just to pay off their college loans. I'm sure the waitresses and checkout clerks nodded sympathetically.

(I threw this into the prior thread -- will re-post it here, as pertinent.)

Obama would be wise to be secretly hoping that he DOESN'T win the nomination. If Hillary wins, and loses in November, he can maintain the fictional "himself" that he's desperately trying to salvage right now. That's his only chance to get into the White House (in 2012 or later -- this year is closed off to him.) If he wins in Denver and leads the Party to defeat, his chances at the Oval Office are finished.

Perhaps. National polls continue to show McCain winner against both Hillary and Obama. And with the dems continuing to sling mud at each other McCain just needs to sit back and let them have at, then stroll in to the white house in January.

The GOP still has a shot at "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."

Yep.

I think those voters need their heads examined.

Little as I like McCain, and as unhappy as I am, I'm voting for him. He doesn't seem to me the sort of man who will stave off the nanny state, but at least he has some grasp of the danger of islamofascism.

Neither Hillary nor Obama seem to me to have the least grasp of the danger, and they both want to smother us all in the embrace of the nanny state.

re: #76 rawmuse

Rawmuse is absolutely correct -- Obama is still potent and likely to win the national election if he isn't exposed and countered at every turn ... by us. In spite of Steyn's wonderful prose, most of the MSM adore Obama. They're not willing or able to look at him objectively and see his serious shortcomings, empty language or short vita. Thus, a rounded assessment of Obama will come from people on sites such as this, to be circulated at the workplace, neighborhoods and families.

I get scared when I hear Lizards pronouncing Obama "toast" -- its premature and dangerous.

A screen warning should be issued so that people will not be drinking liquids while watching it.

I was channeling a leftard
I forgot my sarc tag sorry
I have no problem with Styn

I knew you were channelling. I didn't think that was you talking. LOL.

I actually don't know if Steyn is Jewish. But you're right, they react that way with him. And he will always be disregarded because his name sounds Jewish regardless of whether or not he is.

Just like the leftards go apesh*t when someone goes on Fox News. Disregard the message because of the vessel.

You can't discount altogether the possibility of McCain sticking his thumbs in the eyes of people attempting to support him, for which he has an amazing propensity, and a long and verifiable track record.

I just don't want to see us grow complacent. Go McCain!

re: #95 Dianna

He's right.

Depressing, isn't it?

Not depressing from my perspective. (I'm not a fan of McCain, but ...) we could be doing far worse. I'm willing to give him a chance in the Oval Office, preserving my bitching rights at the same time.
