Fundraising on death…

If you were as impressed with Obama’s Sandy Hook  memorial speech  as the  WaPo’s David  Maraniss,  you will ignore the fact that His Oneness  is fundraising  off the performance.  Oh yes,  it was a performance,  written by speechwriters, displayed on teleprompters,  and read skillfully by a man who sees nothing wrong in raising money from a tragedy,  which funds will benefit only himself,  not the victims.

His Oneness is also using the massacre to push  for raising taxes  in a perverse moralistic display which I find repulsive.  Do you really still think Mr. Obama is a nice guy?

I was no great fan of the Senator,  despite his status as a  genuine war  hero.  I could never decide if the heroism which earned him the Medal  of Honor drove him to be bold even when wrong,  or whether the adulation made him think he couldn’t be wrong.   At any rate,  he became a king in terms of  political power,   and was probably second only to Sen. Robert Byrd in terms of earmarking pork for his home state of Hawaii.
