I am finally figuring out the Obama secrets

For months now I have been confused by the Obama secret. He somehow figured out a way to push Hillary aside against all odds. Hillary's team are excellent strategists and execute flawlessly. So what happened?

Number one, Obama has the ability to "sound" convincing. But the thing with that is a lot of politicians "sound" convincing. The press and commentators usually correct the record. For example, last week Joe Biden "sounded" convincing. And the news came out the next day that he outright lied 24 times. It's easy then. The issue with Obama is that outside of the blogosphere, no one questions him when gets "fluid" on his opinions.

Number two, he knows he won't be challenged. Barack Obama has the confidence that none of the major players will challenge him. I think that is why the Democrats were so anti-Fox early. With MSNBC advertising "chills up the leg" from formerly reputable journalists, he knows he is going to get a pass.

Number three, he doesn't need opposition research. When you look at what the media has tried to do to Sarah Palin, it is clear that they just aren't interested in researching Barack Obama. They won't even ask him questions on his two "memoirs". And about the "memoirs". Why is it that many trully significant historical figures don't even have "memoirs" and this guys has two of them and he hasn't done anything. Any no one asks why?

Number four, he has unlimited funds. This is where I think the situation is most serious. He has been very obtuse on reporting the details of his donors. Normally friendly news outlets are starting to question his donors like "good will". If he is funding his campaign with seriously illegal donations being funnelled through a series "same old Chicago mafia tactics".

Number five, substance. There isn't any. And no one challenges him on it.
