According to this wonderful piece by Michael Goldfarb in The Weekly Standard, Obama’s campaign is being sistracted. And in Obama-speak, a distraction is any uncomfortable question he has to answer — from abortion to Rev. Wright — and slows him down from his anointing as the new Messiah who will save Amerika from the evil right-wingers.

Here’s a teaser — go read the whole piece:

Obama on Jeremiah Wright:

Part of what I hope to do in this campaign and as president is to get us beyond these divisions that distract us from our common challenges and our common opportunities and move the country forward.

On going to war in Iraq:

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income - to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

Obama on attacks by Hillary:

We knew that the closer we got to the change we seek, the more we’d see of the politics we’re trying to end — the attacks and distortions that try to distract us from the issues that matter to people’s lives, the stunts and the tactics that ask us to fear instead of hope.

Notice how he blames the Antichrist — Karl rove — on singlehandedly ruining the world. Liberals seem to have some sort of unnatural fixation on Karl Rove.
