I read an article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26448597/) that makes me wonder how stupid the media thinks we are.  In this article, it is pointed out that Obama issued his acceptance speech of the Democratic Presidential Nominee on the 45th anniversary to the day of the I Have a Dream speech… “by happenstance”.

Call me a skeptic, call me a conspiracy whisperer or call me paranoid… but does the Obama campaign, the Democratic party and the press (especially MSNBC who should just release an all out endorsement of Obama and officially deny air-time to McCain) really expect that the American people will not add the “happenstance” to a growing list of contrived actions by this party?  This has been planned since Obama gave the keynote address at the DNC in 2004.  This was carefully orchestrated.  Don’t get me wrong, being in advertising and marketing, I get that a promotion has to make sense… but this is what I call an overtly pressed message!

Line the date up with the forced speech by Ms. Clinton, her quite obviously mandated part in the roll call process for delegate counts, and President Clinton’s speech and you have an epoch script that the Democrats have written to try and band-aid their party.  It’s obvious to me that any genuine or “authentic” aura around the Obama campaign should be gone, at least to any discerning spectator.  

Don’t get me wrong, I know politics are politics no matter what side of the fence you’re on, but this was laughable.  These guys are as good at acting as Burt Reynolds.  

Let’s see how the Maverick and Reformer fare in the RNC, the Gallup pole and in head to head with their respective opponents in debates – without tele-prompters!
