CHARLESTON, S.C. - A senior moment happened to Senator John McCain on the campaign trail Thursday when John McCain endorsed POTUS Obama.
Here is an exchange between Senator McCain, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, and GOP presidential candidate and former Gov. Mitt Romney:
SEN. MCCAIN: "I am confident with the leadership and the backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around. We believe in America. We believe that our best days are ahead of us..."
GOV. HALEY: "President Romney."
SEN. MCCAIN: "President Romney. Excuse me! President Romney. President Romney. President--"
.......
The Republicans keep using the same old fools to deliver their message and they expect to defeat the Magic Negro in Nov 2012.
Senator McCain should recognize that his mental faculties are severely impaired, resign from the US Senate and retire from public life.
Only Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin can rescue the Republicans at this time. Coulter for POTUS and Palin for vPOTUS.
The "magic negro"? LOL... wow. Just wow.
For your edification Westford Gazette, I enclose the following information from Wikipedia
Magical Negro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magical Negro, or magical African-American friend, is a supporting stock character in American cinema, who, by use of special insight or powers, helps the white protagonist.[1]
African-American filmmaker Spike Lee popularized the term, deriding the archetype of the "super-duper magical Negro" in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University.[2][3] The word "Negro", now considered by many as archaic and sometimes offensive, is used intentionally to suggest that the archetype is a racial throwback, an update of the "Sambo" and "Noble savage" stereotypes.[4]
In fiction
Main article: List of Magical Negro occurrences in fiction
The Magical Negro is typically but not always "in some way outwardly or inwardly disabled, either by discrimination, disability or social constraint," often a janitor or prisoner.[5] He has no past; he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist.[6][7] He usually has some sort of magical power, "rather vaguely defined but not the sort of thing one typically encounters."[6] He is patient and wise, often dispensing various words of wisdom, and is "closer to the earth."[2]
The Magical Negro serves as a plot device to help the protagonist get out of trouble, typically through helping the white character recognize his own faults and overcome them.[2]
Although he has magical powers, his "magic is ostensibly directed toward helping and enlightening a white male character."[5] "These powers are used to save and transform disheveled, uncultured, lost, or broken whites (almost exclusively white men) into competent, successful, and content people within the context of the American myth of redemption and salvation."[8] It is this feature of the Magical Negro that some people find most troubling. Although from a certain perspective the character may seem to be showing blacks in a positive light, he is still ultimately subordinate to whites. He is also regarded as an exception, allowing white America to "like individual black people but not black culture."[8][9]
To save the white protagonist, however, he would do anything, including sacrificing himself, as Sidney Poitier does in The Defiant Ones, the prototypical Magical Negro movie.[2]
There have been numerous appearances of the Magical Negro archetype in film, television, and literature.
Non-fictional occurrences
The title "Obama the 'Magic Negro'" by David Ehrenstein for a Los Angeles Times piece[10] later inspired the song "Barack the Magic Negro," written by parodist Paul Shanklin and broadcast on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.[11] In 2008 it was included on a CD sent by Chip Saltsman, running for chair of the Republican National Committee, to members of the committee.[12]
Adults should not be afraid to use accurate language because the political correctness patrol may be offended. I believe that POTUS Obama's capabilities and demeanor are accurately described by the term Magic Negro.
I am placing my money on POTUS Obama to be re-elected in Nov 2012 even with the handicap of having vPOTUS Biden as a running mate.

Our MN in charge should have been executed for treason when he got back from his apology tour in '08. He toured the middle east apologizing to our enemies for waging war against them. In the eyes of fundamentalist Muslims, it was a huge deal to see an American president who has been trained in the ways of Islam apologize for the aggressions of the western infidels. Obama has had formal education in the Muslim beliefs and he knew exactly what he was doing. He gave aid and comfort to our enemies. That's treason.
True. All traitors for being too cozy with the enemies of Israel and of western style civilization. But the BIG difference between them and Obama is they did/do it out of ignorance. They are unable to wrap their judeao/Christian values around a Muslim's desire for world domination and submission to Islam. Obama had formal eduction in Muslim schools. He knows what their motivations are and what constitutes victory in their minds.
