The Church of the Painful Truth

Barack Hussein Obama has suddenly abandoned his campaign to make a trip to Hawaii, purportedly to visit his ailing grandmother.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will leave the campaign trail to go to Hawaii this week to visit the ailing grandmother who helped raise him, an aide said on Monday.

According to the Marxist views that Obama seems to hold, I’m surprised that he would do something like this, as (to pervert a Trek-ism) the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. And we’ve been told ad-nauseum since Obama won the nomination that we all need him and we puny citizens and this nation would be helpless without him.

Indeed, did the Obama campaign not cricize John McCain for suspending his own campaign to deal with the financial problems caused by liberal Democrats and the Community Reinvestment Act, a threat to the nation as a whole?

“It’s my belief that this is exactly the time that the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess,” Obama said. “It’s going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once.” He demurred when asked by reporters whether McCain’s move was a political ploy.

So I have to wonder whether Obama is capable of dealing with more than one thing at a time? Perhaps he will be dealing with multiple items in that, while visiting with his ailing grandmother, Barry will also be obtaining a more-convincing “birth certificate” for Mr. Berg and his lawsuit?
