Resident Evil

There are certainly the highly humorous aspects of Barack Hussein Obama's whirling-dervish finger-pointing and flip-floppery.  These are a blessing as a psychological bulwark against its tiresome, and viler, shades.

Let's revisit the Hussein Cash Machine, shall we?

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama raised more than $51 million in July and the Democratic National Committee reported $27.7 million in donations last month, putting Obama in a strong position for the fall campaign.

Obama began August with $65.8 million on hand and the DNC had $28.5 million available, according to statements released Saturday. His July total was slightly less than the $52 million he raised in June.

Obama’s Internet-powered fundraising efforts have shattered all previous records for a presidential campaign, bringing in a total of $390 million so far. The Illinois senator has announced he will forgo public financing for the general election, giving up $84 million in taxpayer money for the final two months of the campaign and committing himself to a steady pace of fundraising.

By contrast, Republican candidate John McCain has raised just $140 million and has agreed to accept public financing for the general election and the spending restraints that come with it. McCain has remained competitive, however, because of the fundraising success of the Republican National Committee.

Sounds great at first blush, doesn't it?  But when the fundraising totals of the respective candidates and their national party committees are aggregated, the heretofore bankrupt, sadsack GOP is actually in parity with or even a little bit ahead of its Democrat counterpart.  This reflects the much greater "bang for the buck" that Team Sith is getting versus Team Messiah, a function of how current events have reshuffled election issues to the fore that weigh heavily in McCain's favor and to Obama's distinct disadvantage, in addition to Lucifer's insatiable gaffery, hauteur, smearmongering, and extremism.  Indeed, he's doing as much or more than Lord Queeg himself to sell the Arizona senator to the electorate as the better choice for president of the United States.  It's almost like an in-kind contribution of his campaign resources to McCain.

Expenditures are always the other side of the budget from income.  There are a lot of people who make more money than I do, but whose net worth is probably a lot less than mine, because they "spend to their income" and beyond, whereas I'm so tight I squeak.  BO, unsurprisingly, has that same problem vis-a-vie his "senior" opponent.  Given that McCain kept his promise to take the $84 million in public financing for the fall home stretch - dough he doesn't have to spend a dime to collect - while Obama has to "earn" his as a consequence of his treacherous decision to abandon his own public financing promise, his nearly three-to-one fundraising edge over Sailor from the beginning of the cycle will prove a lot smaller than it looks.

Particularly in light of how little all that lucre has purchased (via Newsmax Insider):

Predictions of a landslide victory by Democrat Barack Obama in the November election may be off base, according to a historical analysis.

In five of the six post-World War II landslides — defined as a victory of ten percentage points or more — the eventual winner was ahead by at least ten percentage points in the polls at the end of August, according to the analysis of Gallup Polls by Politico.

But recent Gallup tracking polls put Obama ahead of his Republican rival John McCain by a margin of only two to five points.

One landslide winner, Lyndon Johnson, was ahead of Barry Goldwater in a late August 1964 Gallup Poll by a huge margin — 67%-26%. Johnson went on to win the election with 61% of the vote.

In 1972, incumbent Richard Nixon was ahead of George McGovern by about twenty points in August. He won by twenty-three points.

Incumbent Ronald Reagan was ahead of Walter Mondale by ten points in 1984, and won by nearly twice that margin.

Dwight Eisenhower was ahead of Adlai Stevenson by at least fifteen points in two late August 1952 Gallup Polls. Ike won by eleven points.

“There was a definite cockiness that Democrats felt once they regained control of Congress, and I’ve felt it was a misplaced cockiness,” pollster John Zogby said.

And political analyst Charlie Cook told Politico: “I don’t think you see leads in presidential races over five points in this day and age. [Obama has] averaged leads of three points since spring. The key is that Obama hasn’t closed the sale.

“The question is, Does Obama ever close the sale?”

The answer is that Obama thought he "closed the sale" the day he announced his candidacy, insofar as he ever considered such a thing to be necessary at all.  And yet it is precisely that unmerited "cockiness" that is eating his campaign alive like the cancer it is.  At the rate his callow ego is metastasizing, it may not matter how much cash Team Hussein hoovers up.

That isn't the only fiscal drain the Golden Child is encountering, either.

There is a reason why I try never to have cash on my person.  If I do, and somebody hits me up for a loan, I can't turn them down by begging localized illiquidity.  In much the same way, Barry O's well-earned rain-making reputation - and equally infamous penchant for heaving so-called "principles" overboard at the slightest inconvenience - has made him his party's surrogate teat:

Facing a large deficit in the Democratic National Convention budget, officials from Barack Obama’s campaign have begun personally soliciting labor unions and others for contributions of up to $1 million. In exchange, donors could get stadium skyboxes for Obama’s acceptance speech and other perks.

Obama has regularly criticized politicians seeking large donations outside the framework of campaign finance regulations — so-called soft money — while touting the virtues of relying on small donations.

But campaign officials last month reluctantly decided they had to take a hand in raising large donations from individuals, unions and corporations. Some of the donors get special bundles of perks, including use of the party suites at Denver’s Invesco Field, as well as special policy briefings by Obama advisors, choice hotel rooms and party invitations.

What caused the shift was evidence that the Denver Host Committee was having trouble raising the estimated $60 million in cash and in-kind contributions needed to fund the convention, which runs August 24-29.

The resulting shortfall of which was, in large part, a product of the Idol's compulsive lust to be worshipped by an unparalleled multitude of supplicants and sychophants all at the same time.

And so out went this thunderous declaration....

....and in came the special interests - DEMOCRAT special interests (Big Labor, mercenary corporations, and, yes, "fatcats") - to which False Messiah somehow extended the hand unnailed from his self-hoisted petard.

Behold, the god who loves money, the Unifier who will apparently unload anything he can get his hands on and everything he purports to hold dear for another thirty pieces of silver.

In short, just another liberal Democrat.  But one all the more intolerably insufferable for the hypermoralistic sanctimony that drenches each and every one of the phony commandments he issues.

As to his sincere commandments - well, sometimes the old adage is true: You can run, but you cannot hide:

The presumptive Democratic nominee responded sharply in an interview Saturday night with the Christian Broadcast Network, saying anti-abortion groups were "lying" about his record.

"They have not been telling the truth," Mr. Obama said. "And I hate to say that people are lying, but here's a situation where folks are lying."

He added that it was "ridiculous" to suggest he had ever supported withholding lifesaving treatment for an infant. "It defies common sense and it defies imagination, and for people to keep on pushing this is offensive," he said in the CBN interview.

Wait for it....wait for it....

Indeed, Mr. Obama appeared to misstate his position in the CBN interview on Saturday when he said the federal version [of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act] he supported “was not the bill that was presented at the state level.”

His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.

In 2005, the campaign noted, a “Born Alive” bill passed the Illinois Legislature after another clause had been added that explicitly stated that the legislation would have no effect on existing state abortion laws.

So let's tally this up: (1) Obama lied about the BAIPA he killed at the state level in order to cover the lie that he'd have voted for the federal version; (2) he smeared the pro-life opponents who exposed his lies and called him on them; (3) within a day he feinted fessing up and then (4) doubled-down even further into the bowels of despicable absurdity by claiming that even though the Illinois version of the BAIPA he buried had the identical neutrality provisions regarding existing abortion law that the federal version had, it "still wasn't good enough."

This goes to great redundant lengths to show what an f'ing liar this man is.  But in this case it's not about his money-grubbing or his oceanic conceit, but rather a topic that Light-Bringer and his opponent were confronted with this past Saturday:

“Evil does exist,” Obama began acknowledging the premise of the question as he ticked off the evils of genocide in Darfur, inner-city crime and child abuse. “I think it has to be confronted. It has to be confronted squarely and one of the things that I strongly believe is that, you know, we are not going to, as individuals erase evil from the world. That is God’s task. but we can be soldiers in that process and we can confront it when we see it.”

I'll let Ensign Ed lower the closing boom:

If child abuse is an evil that must be confronted, then infanticide is even more evil.  What did Obama do when he saw this evil?  Did he confront it, as one of God’s soldiers?  Or did he facilitate it?

The answer now from the Obama campaign is clear.  Obama facilitated evil in order to protect abortion on demand, which was never threatened by S.1082 in the first place.

That much apparently wasn’t above his pay grade.

And this man claims to be a Christian?
