How Many Groups Can Obama Offend???

Well, the Obama campaign may want to rethink its latest ad strategy.  After all, how many groups can one candidate and their supporters offend before there is no one left to vote for him:


Middle America - they "cling to their guns and religions"


Senior Citizens - McCain is too old


The Handicapped - How dare Gov Palin have a Downs syndrome child - abortion or retirement, those were her choices (this from the "pro-choice" crowd); how dare Sen McCain - despite war injuries -  not be a user of keyboards


Women - betraying Alice Palmer, dissing Hillary, "lipstick comments", insinuations that women with children should stay home


Any woman who has ever conceived before marriage - that scarlet letter thing wasn't too effective, Obama had to call off the attack dogs


Pro-Life - women not only have the right to kill those babies in utero, by golly, if the child survives the abortion procedure, we'll still get rid of them


Pro-choice - this issue is "above my pay grade"


Jewish Community - associations with Rev. Wright and Farrakhan raise some serious questions. . .especially after twenty years! 


Muslims - get those girls in head scarves OUT of my photo op


People of Faith - good grief, how dare Sarah Palin pray that she do God's will. . .Obama's prayer in the Wall in Jerusalem (fortuitously leaked to the press) doesn't count for a candidate who seems to have no core values except "Photo ops count"


And - remarkably enough even African Americans - Hillary supporter of color were called Uncle Tom at the Democratic convention


Feel free to add more - my non-handicapped arm has keyboard fatigue!

I don't know.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

Only one who can really truly distinguish if they are lies is God himself. do you hold that title?
