And his cheerleaders are beginning to realize that Obama may not be the Arthurian knight in shining armor, that he may not be Mr. Tumnus, the gentle forest faun of our presidential politics. Months after his inauguration, after he makes Billy Daley the secretary of the treasury and Michael Daley the secretary of zoning and promotes Patrick Fitzgerald to become the attorney general of Mars, the political left may figure out that Obama is a Chicago politician.

Obama is not their fool. And he's not weak. He got down on one knee to the Chicago Democratic Machine and didn't make any waves and asked that it make him a U.S. senator. He lectured the Africans about political corruption and kept his mouth shut about corruption in Chicago, and the national press ignored the inconsistency and pampered and protected him. He waited and he's ready and now they're worried? Too late, boys and girls.It's too late for the members of the Cult of Change. The rest of the nation--the sane ones--representing about 80 percent of the population can put things right in November: By voting for John McCain.
UPDATE 7:10PM: ThirdWaveDave e-mailed me this YouTube link of a CNN story--John Kass appears in it--and the network tells the story of how the onetime voting rights attorney gave South Side Chicagoans less choice--by knocking his primary opponents off the ballot.

Thanks for the link, John. Actually, Andrea Shea-King found the vid--I forgot to mention that in the email.
It's a great history lesson about Obama and how he got his start in Chicago. They play hardball in the Windy City.
Dowd (NYSlimes) has finally noticed that Hussein is not getting his millions from 'poor Americans' but from terrorists in terrorist nations. His appeal with instructions on how, and how much the Mooslimes can contribute so he doesn't have to identify the donar has been removed from his site but the sites in the terrorist nations are up, running, and effective. Terrorist are hoping to buy us the next POTUS.

Kass loses credibility by the day as he has been called out by a local reporter to back his allegations against Obama.
The Chicago Democratic Machine backed its own candidate against Obama in the U.S. Senate primary.

Man, you Obama-ites don't get it. Once Obama won the 2004 Dem primary, and after "the speech." the Machine got behind Obama--and it's been there ever since. Dan Hynes too.

You don't get it. Obama got to that point without the Machine's or Daley's backing. In the general election, who do you think the Democrats are going to support, the Republican?
Who doesn't get it, me or you?
Kass (Chicago Tribune, 7/14/08):
"He got down on one knee to the Chicago Democratic Machine and didn't make any waves and asked that it make him a U.S. senator."
Kass (Chicago Tribune, 2/29/04):
"Hynes, son of former Cook County Assessor Tom Hynes, is the candidate the Daleys of Chicago would like in the U.S. Senate. Hynes is running a low-profile campaign by design. The strategy is that he'll have the ward bosses and organized labor churning out votes in Chicago, Cook County and far southern Illinois."
