There's a big problem with deifying politicians.They don't deserve it and can't live up to to naive expectations, especially if they're engaged in mud fights with the likes of Billary Clinton.
Poor Barack Obama was flying high just two months ago, drawing huge ovations merely for blowing his nose.(That really happened.) He's still a political force, but one who is now looking quite human, prickly and resentful as he copes with his own missteps and others' attacks on him.
Naturally, the Obammunists are crying foul. But politics is a bloodsport, and the rules of the game don't change even for those who like to think they're above it all.
See David Brooks' column in The New York Times for more.

I just LOVE to see this Obamanation's "wings" get clipped!!
THANK YOU Mr. Dey, for giving us a forum to bring out the "hidden truth" about one who would (want to) be our next president (GOD FORBID), and THANK YOU Rush Limbaugh, for your "Operation Chaos" which helped to get sHrillary "off the ropes" and back "in the game" to tear apart the "muslim messiah" the way John McCain never would!!
Did you actually see the hatred on B. Hussein's face as he stood at the lecturn when asked some of the questions he NEVER dreamed he would EVER receive, about his associations with Ayers and Dorn (the American terrorists that orchestrated bombings at police stations, the White House and the Pentagon)? A combination of "deer in the headlights" and ultimate hatred, focused at sHrillary as she brought up the FACT that Obama WAS (DIRECTOR) on the board of the "Woods Fund" WITH Wm. Ayers, as he was TRYING to DOWNPLAY his "relationship"!!
In an article by Tim Kouri, "Obama Connection to Terrorists Revealed by Talk Show Host (Laurie Roth)" (3-24-08) the author reveals a lot about Obama's shady actions on the board of the Woods Fund (WHILE a Senator in the Illinois Senate) and the connections to "Tony" Rezko as well as Wm. Ayers and Dorn and another figure, Rashid Khalidi. In the following, (Allison) Davis is the lawyer who hired Obama (first associated with in Chicago) in the firm of 'Davis, Minor and Barnhill'.
"In early 2000, while Obama served as a state senator in Illinois, he also sat on the board of the nonprofit Woods Fund. The Woods Fund is a Chicago-based foundation that claims its primary mission is to make financial grants in order to increase and/or create opportunities for disadvantaged people and low-income communities.
The chairman of the Woods fund board in 2000 was Howard Stanback, who like Obama also had connections to Davis, according to the reliable sources.
Davis submitted a grant request to the Woods Foundation for a $1 million investment in his development partnership, Neighborhood Rejuvenation LP, that would be used to finance low-income senior-citizen housing. Under normal circumstances, a board member is supposed to recuse himself or herself from decisions where they have a business or personal relationship.
Obama, who did not recuse himself, voted to approve Davis' grant request. Stanback, on the other hand, abstained from voting. The housing project, which also received a $5.7 million loan from the city of Chicago, in turn donated almost $70,000 in political contributions to Obama's presidential campaign.
In the past, Rezko gave Obama -- who served as an Illinois State Senator -- his first two political contributions in 1995, $1,000 each from two of his companies. In 1998, State Senator Obama wrote letters to city and state officials urging them to fund a Davis-Rezko housing project. It was an obvious quid pro quo arrangement.
Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago.
Bill Ayers, along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn, was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went "underground" in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group's members including Ayers' girlfriend at the time.
While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged "government legal misconduct." In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home."
Rashid Khalidi, a (Palestine)terrorist sympathizer, gained support from and gave support to Obama, AGAIN through the Woods Fund:
During Obama's last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi.
In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.
In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.
According to sources, when the Khalidi's left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.
"What other fund raising connections does Obama have? How many times can you look the other way in church and with fund raising situations with more than questionable people?" asked Ms. Roth.
"We all make mistakes in judgment with people and their backgrounds sometimes, but usually we learn and pick better friends and associates. How come Obama seems to have continued hanging around more than questionable characters with anti American backgrounds and some with criminal behaviors? Now one is being indicted, Tony Rezco, who raised a ton of money for Obama," she said.
"As President, how much would he look the other way when dealing with national security and dangers to our country? How much would he listen passively to terrorist leaders then lecture us on our ugly American status? This kind of change is not what our country needs!" added the popular talk show host, whose show is syndicated by USA Radio Network http://www.usaradio.com/roth_show.php "
Another fine article on Obama's terrorist ties is : "Obama Worked with Terrorists" by Aaron Klein @ WorldNetDaily (2-24-08), another perspective on these same "connections"!!
GOD bless America, and PLEASE protect us from terrorists and terrorist enablers!
