...make fun of other white guys. Sure, he played high school basketball, but how many cool kids play indoor sports in Hawaii? The man is all superego. He never gets angry or flirts with hot chicks by asking them to be his Vice President. Obama has written about using pot and cocaine, but a New York Times article found only school buddies who said he merely dabbled with marijuana. That's because the only people who bring up their drug use didn't really do drugs. Try asking George W. Bush about alleged cocaine...
...comparison, Obama's arch remark that Joe Biden can be given to "rhetorical flourishes" looked positively friendly. Another typical week in the message wars. Democrats methodically fired laser-guided missiles at McCain (that he's in lockstep with Bush and represents more of the same), while Republicans hurled every pot and pan within reach at the Teflon opposition (Obama is a socialist; Obama is a celebrity, etc.). The occasional GOP bull's-eye was overshadowed by many misses. The Obama campaign is enjoying the strongest close of a presidential-election effort in recent memory: mammoth crowds--more than...
...Americanness at Issue RE: "Is He American Enough?" [Oct. 20]. The greatness of the U.S. is that it is a big melting pot of people who chose to come to that country for different reasons.

One would assume that by now any form of bigotry would be completely eradicated, but no. The people who suffered persecution in Europe, Asia or Africa are now the persecutors, thereby perpetuating hate and fear. Shouldn't that kind...
Criticizing Obama by suggesting he isn't American enough is absurd. America is a nation of immigrants; they built it and thrived in it. I would say that because Barack Obama exemplifies this melting pot, he is more American than many of us. But this brand of attack is not new, as the article implies. I think of the 1920s and the red scare and the extreme nationalism that led to immigrant quotas. Don't we all look back at that time and shudder at how we treated those who came from another place? Our incredible ingenuity, our innovation...
...House on a platform of middle-class tax cuts and a free-market-friendly approach to public policy. The government doesn't "spend" tax money in the New Democrats' lexicon. It "invests" in the future. And like Obama, Clinton saw another version of himself painted by the opposition: a pot-smoking, war-protesting, bureaucrat-loving, income-redistributing radical...
