Tonight, at 8:00pm ET, Sen. Obama will be airing what will essentially be a campaign infomercial (at $1 million per TV channel, I suppose that’s about all you can do when you’re flush with over half a billion dollars in campaign contributions) attempting to “close the deal” on his candidacy for POTUS to the American people.

Isn’t it a little late for that? I mean, why hasn’t he sealed the deal yet? Perhaps the campaign has bought so much airtime for ads between now and November 4 that there is literally little extra room to put all that cash. Other than that, I thought all of the polls were showing that the Senator is ahead, even way ahead?

I (and I think Rush Limbaugh brought up some of these points before) look at this from a slightly different perspective, and that is, what drives his ambition? What ends is he using to justify his means?

I noticed something back a week or so ago when Sen. Obama announced that he was going to Hawaii to care for his ailing maternal grandmother. He didn’t take Michelle with him (in fact, she stayed on the campaign trail). He didn’t take the kids. He took time to make a big announcement about it and then went and did it, and then decided on a specific day he was coming back to campaign. I would think that if she were at death’s door, he and the family would drop everything to go care for her. Maybe he has other family that is looking after her; actually, I think not.

I have yet to see a publicly displayed picture of he and this same grandmother that’s any more recent than something like two decades ago. Why is that?

Obama does not know how to deal with his past. I don’t think it’s anything really, really deep; it’s kind of like most of the rest of the folks who grew up in the 1960s; the difference is, Sen. Obama never finished searching for the “meaning of life.”

Take a look at the following video:

I am going to postulate that he and the Mainstream Media come from the same ilk of “guilt-ridden do-gooders.” It’s the kind of guilt that is being perpetuated by those in the civil rights movement that promote interracial anxiety, and the only thing that can be done is to elect a black man in the hopes that he can somehow atone for everyone’s guilt in one fell swoop.

It ain’t gonna happen. This hoped-for atonement, that is. A single election — or even two Presidential terms — will never solve whatever cultural or political differences there may be between races. It’s a wonderfully-sounding utopian principle (just like socialism, which is really communism but with private property ownership), but electing someone whose sole purpose, one could conclude, is to use every lever of government to right society’s wrongs no matter how much anyone disagrees is only going to exacerbate the situation.

Speaking of disagreeing, this is also why I disagree with Obama (cartoon by Michael Ramirez via hotair.com):

If you keep everything sealed up about yourself, how do you expect anyone to really get to know you? We have everything from birth certificate allegations (because it’s never been officially produced) and plenty of other documents — medical records, college transcripts and the like — that are also sealed from public view (heck, even the Clintons have produced!).

Sen. Obama, if you’re not going to release your paperwork, how else are we going to analyze your record — both publically and personally — especially as you tend to disavow all past associations you’ve had with people of questionable repute? Where are all the folks who’ve been helped by your community organization efforts, for that matter?

My only conclusion is that you haven’t (unless more information comes to the light) closed the deal with me, and I neither want you to “spread [my] wealth” around (what little I have!) nor do I want you to raise the white flag of surrender to our enemies or treat the US Constitution like a “living” document.
