"He must reassure supporters, and party leaders who had started to rally to his side..."
"Over the last year, though, Mr. Obama has struggled..."
"Mr. Obama, finally, has tactical worries of his own."
Powell may hide his motive cleaverly, but an analysis of his word choices shows unflinching bias. Once we have established motive, the conscious racial jabs are not so far fetched. Obama "talks smack" about Bush, Powell wrote 10 days ago. Now he learned politics with a bunch of criminals with crowbars.
The word crowbar does appear in some other New York Times articles:
"Mr. Mangelsdorf attacked Mr. Harmon, 25, with a crowbar while he slept..." NYT May 13, 2006
"A man who killed his wife and two stepdaughters with a crowbar..." NYT October 21, 1995
"They climbed over a fence and broke into a bathroom near the pool with a crowbar..." NYT December 22, 2007
Powell may as well start each article about Obama from now on with: "I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message."
