Thanks, Mrs. M, for giving us the latest “The Wheels Of The Bus Go ‘Bump’, ‘Bump’, ‘Bump’” update.

It must be some amazing ground clearance that His Obamaness’ campaign bus boasts, considering the sheer number of former family, friends and allies that are gathering down there. Latest under the bus? MoveOn.org:

Barack Obama yesterday landed a right hook on one of his biggest left-wing supporters yesterday - blasting MoveOn.org for labeling Gen. David Petraeus “General Betray Us.”

Obama, in a patriotism speech in Independence, Mo., hit the Web site for taking out an ad in The New York Times last year that targeted Petraeus, then the top US commander in Iraq.

MorOn.org, as you probably know, have been firm allies of his, boosting his campaign with mass emails and ads highlighting his Lightworkiness while sliming his opponents at every turn. But hey, the primaries are over, the Kostard Nutroots are no longer needed to beat the Hildebeest, so it’s time to tack to the right and leave those suckers under the bus. Who else are they going to vote for, after all? Not to mention that he knows that they, being the good goosestepping little automatons that they are, would merrily vote for Pinochet if he were alive and running with a “D” next to his name.

Harsh? Not nearly harsh enough. As you may also recall, he had not a word of admonishment for MorOn.org back when it was actually an issue. Because, well, you know, he needed them and their moonbats back then.

“A general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.

“We can no longer afford these sorts of divisions.”

Meaning: “I can no longer afford giving a nod and a wink to stuff that might alienate the voters in the center so, under the bus you go!”

Many of Obama’s Senate colleagues already felt the same way - and had expressed their anger at the ad back in September, when they voted to “strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of” Petraeus.

Obama skipped the vote.

Big surprise there. That seems to be the sum total of his “leadership experience:” Skipping uncomfortable votes. But it is quite telling as to his Obambiness’ character or, rather, lack of same. Two-faced, lying, opportunistic hypocrite.

His Majesty is actually beginning to feel bad about all of the flip-flop jokes he made about John Fuckface Kerry back in ‘04. Not that they weren’t warranted, but we should have saved the best ones for now, seeing as how His Hopenchangitudinalityness makes Kerry look like the very epitome of unbending principle and adherence thereto.

But yesterday, he couldn’t have been more red, white and blue, proclaiming his love for America and vowing not to question the patriotism of his political opponents.

“For those, like John McCain, who have endured physical torment in service to our country, no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary,” Obama said.

His campaign issued a statement more specifically condemning Sunday’s comments by retired general and top Democrat Wesley Clark, who said of McCain, “I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”

In the statement, spokesman Bill Burton said Obama “rejects [Sunday's] statement by Gen. Clark.”

*BUMP*

Could you change the oil while you’re underneath there, Gen. Clark?

The skirmish overshadowed Obama’s carefully orchestrated speech intended to quell doubts about his patriotism.

“Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given,” said Obama, sporting a shiny flag pin on his lapel.

Oh, and his newfound love of flag lapel pins hasn’t abated yet either, we see? It’s interesting how he has suddenly grown infatuated with those “overly patriotic” gizmos, isn’t it?

So what brought on all of this hyperpatriotism? Other than the fact that we’re now entering the general election phase, of course.

One recent poll found only 61 percent of Americans believe Obama loves his country. [Emphasis ours -- Emp.M.]

Ta-daaa. It may turn out that His Obambiness is even more cravenly, blatantly poll-driven than even the Clintons.

Now that would be an achievement worthy of the Guiness Book of World Records.

And not much of anything else.

Thatisall.
