Well, as I said in the headline, this just makes him an official progressive and his stock should rise higher and higher by the second. He may lose some shine from crossover conservatives being tricked by his slick book cover, but in the eyes of the left the more slimy the behavior and/ or background the more popular one becomes in their circles.
That to them shows that he's just like the rest of 'em; drug addicts, alcoholics, sexual deviates, on and on and on. So if he comes out next week and says he is a closet bisexual his popularity rating will shoot to the moon & the left will crown him King of the Kooks, then drag him down the yellow brick road to the democratic nomination ordaining him as the second coming. (Ooops, I forgot, they've already done that!)
And if you think you've heard too much about this guy, you should take a trip to Chicago and listen to the local news reports and papers fawning daily all over him. Talk about sickening, and it's just starting I'm afraid. By the end of 2007 they may have to create an ObamaVision channel on your local cable offerings to accommodate all the mushy "superman" coverage he'll be getting.
Effect of Obama's Candor Remains to Be Seen
Senator Admitted Trying Cocaine in a Memoir Written 11 Years AgoWashington Compost Jan 3,2007 : Long before the national media spotlight began to shine on every twist and turn of his life's journey, Barack Obama had this to say about himself: "Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. . . . I got high [to] push questions of who I was out of my mind."
The Democratic senator from Illinois and likely presidential candidate offered the confession in a memoir written 11 years ago, not long after he graduated from law school and well before he contemplated life on the national stage. At the time, 20,000 copies were printed and the book seemed destined for the remainders stacks.
Today, Obama, 45, is near the top of polls on potential Democratic presidential contenders, and "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance" has regularly been on the bestseller lists, with 800,000 copies in print. Taken along with his latest bestseller, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," Obama has become a genuine publishing phenomenon.
Obama's revelations were not an issue during his Senate campaign two years ago. But now his open narrative of early, bad choices, including drug use starting in high school and ending in college, as well as his tortured search for racial identity, are sure to receive new scrutiny. read more
