One would think that Obama would run from Rush and Hannity like the devil from Holy Water but that's not the case. You see, here in Texas, there's not a lot of Air America coverage so there's millions of us that have no other talk radio when we're out and about but to listen to Rush and Hannity and then cuss the radio. The Obama campaign knows that. Is this an attempt to get the Obama message out in an efficient way to people like me, or is there something more to it?

I noticed back in December that Rush and Hannity were relentless in their attacks on Hillary while they coddled Obama. That's also when I first realized that Obama was implementing the Pity Strategy. That is, Obama went about making himself the victim of the evil and cunning Hillary. Rush goes on at length about what a wonderful person Obama is and how horrible Hillary is. Hannity gushes like a silly school girl with a crush about how wonderful Obama is and how evil Hillary is. And, I documented much that was out there about how Obama made himself out to be the victim and how the right wing along with the far left led the charge while demonizing Hillary. Is there some kind of unholy alliance here?

Why is Obama advertising on far right wing talk shows? It appears to be almost certain that there is an alliance between the right wing and Obama. But is this also a financial quid pro quo? Is it that these right wing extremists promote Obama, and then Obama spends advertising dollars on their show? At this point, one has to ask what kind of deals has Obama cut with the far right wing? I'm going to go listen to Neil Boortz in the next day or so just to see if Obama is advertising on his show too. Maybe some Hillary supporters (surrogates to you Obama people) can let us know what's going on else where in states like Pennsylvania or Ohio.

Lots of questions and likely no answers other than what the excuses the Obamabots and Obama staffers will post here. Imagine in November having to wonder if you're going to be voting for someone that might have cut a deal with the right wing.
