I'd take issue with Hitch's assertion that Obama wanted to be President even then. His statements that he wants to ban/confiscate handguns and semi-auto rifles seem political suicide outside the safe Chicago machine.

No less than Bill Clinton and Al Gore did a post-mortem in 2001 saying gun control cost Gore the election.

He wanted to "prove" he was "Left" yet not "for political benefit but because he was a true believer." What is that supposed to mean?

It means that within the constraints imposed by his desire to "maintain his viability within the system" (as Bill Clinton put it so many years ago), he voted as far left as possible.

Lawrence Auster brought up an interesting point: in an NPR interview, Mark McKinnon - a top McCain campaign staffer, said that he would resign from the McCain campaign if Obama were the democratic nominee. This guy is a republican, votes republican, advises republicans, and works for the campaign of the likely republican nominee. But if Obama is the democratic candidate, then he'll just quit, because he doesn't think Obama SHOULD be opposed. So, in the event he is elected who will dare oppose the magical negro, "The One", the Lamb of God, whose coming was foretold in the ancient books.

There is a real possibility that, for a couple of years at least, Obama would be a virtual dictator. That no one would dare oppose his agenda for fear of being called a racist.

The fact that so many people are going gaga over this guy is reason enough to oppose him, as if being an America-loathing crypto-socialist were not reason enough.

His mother and father met on a Russian-language course at a time when the Russian language was inextricably mixed up with communism.

Taking Russian back in the days of the Cold War turned you into an instant Commie, which was why we lost due to all those CIA analysts and military officers who took Russian and went Bolshie..at least, in the alternate reality Peter Hitchens sometimes reports from.

I do think Obama is a good deal more to the left than he's letting on, but his parents having taken Russian isn't anywhere near as damning as Hitchens thinks.

So Hitch went to Chicago looking to dig up dirt on Obama...and really didn't find too much. Hell, for Chicago politics the guy is practically a boy scout.

I like this Hitch better than his brother, but he lost some credibility with me for this line:

what must be worrying for Democrats is that the Obama parade float could deflate so quickly, although I think he will keep it up until election day because McCain doesn't have the stones to go toe to toe with him and Barry knows it just like Clinton knew it in 96
