 BARACK OBAMA, THE NON-FACTOR

Funny how Obama, who is the biggest egomaniac of any politician, feels he can parachute into various communities from one of his estates, give some incoherent and offensive speech, and then think that he is swaying voters, as he parachutes into the next community -- over the course of a few days.  Obama has gone Hollywood, he spends so much of his time with the so-called "beautiful people," he did virtually nothing for the poor and the middle class and, yes, minority groups.  He opposed one of the most important civil rights issues of our time -- school choice.  For so many Americans, he is a distant memory, if a memory at all.  I don't say any of this to be offensive.  But the truth and the facts are the truth and the facts.
