I'm still in a state of shock resulting from the primary returns here in North Carolina day before yesterday. This approaches medical shock -- damp, cool skin + fluttery, shallow heart beat -- and is not to be confused with the type of "shock" felt by G.D.A. Obama as he watched Jeremiah Wright strut his stuff at the National Press Club breakfast a few days earlier.
If I were a fighting man getting ready for patrol in Iraq [or Afghanistan], I'd damn sure be wondering what the hell I was doing fighting for a country that thought "God damn America!" was a proper slogan for my prospective commander-in-chief! And don't tell me that "Slick" Obama isn't responsible for what Jeremiah Wright says -- I know he's not! What he is responsible for is staying in that community -- that congregation -- for 20 years, providing it with his support, while this is being said!
Then, like I'm a fool, he tells me "I love this country" and expects that I'll lap it up. Good grief!
Put this SOB behind the desk that George Washington fought to win and establish? Not this old geezer!
