Funny, but nobody told me and the rest of the country the Liberal Messiah won the election. Oh, the Liberal Mainstream Media can't wait to make the announcement, but they're doing their best to hold back six more days, trying not to let their excitement show. Democrats and Obama fanatics are beside themselves like little kids waiting for Christmas Day. Some can't handle the stress of it all.
It was bad enough that the "unbiased" moderator of the vice-presidential debate, Gwen Ifill, already had a book in the works that presumed the Liberal Messiah would win. It was "a known factor for months" that she was working on it, a spokesman for her PBS television show remarked.
Now six days before the election, we have a book slated for April 2009 publication entitled Letters to President Obama: Americans Share Our Hopes and Dreams with the First African-American President.
Who cares what the American people think: liberals, the media, and now opportunitist publishers will made the choice for you.
Obviously Skyhorse Publishing is trying to draw attention by announcing the book during the election. But what if McCain wins? "We’ll deal with that if it happens," said Bill Wolfsthal with Skyhorse Publishing. "The book might still be a poignant piece of history if Obama should lose." I'm sure readers will consider a book of letters to a non-existent president a "poignant piece of history" as it lays discarded in the bargain bin of the local bookstore.
An opportunist book such as this one is in bad taste when the votes haven't been counted. Even the New York Times agrees. Imagine if Republicans went around saying such a thing about the Liberal Messiah's fortunes? Presuming the outcome of an election is a slippery slope; just ask the Chicago Tribune and 1948 Republican candidate Thomas Dewey.
It's not the polls, not the press, not the mainstream media that choose. Oh, all three will do their very best to influence the outcome, but it's still the voter that makes the final verdict.
