I keep reading these threads about Obama, and am continually shocked by how desperate people are to write this guy off. I'll say it one more time:

If you think making fun of his name will be enough...

If you think you can lump him in with nutjobs like Jesse and Al...

If you think that describing him as "fruity" is clever or useful in the face of his sophistication, good looking family, and church-going image...

...then, quite frankly, you're high, and I hope you share some of what you're smoking to help us all get through the years he spends in the White House down the road.

Do not, do not, DO NOT underestimate this guy. (And stop harping on his name, it just makes us seem small-minded.)

You are in IL. Do you agree that it would be best for the GOP NOT to field a candidate so that Obama is not tested for at least six years?

Theres nothing new under the sun.

The media was saying exactly the same thing about Mario Cuomo after his exceptional keynote speech during the Dims '84 convention. He seemingly came out of nowhere & said exactly what the dims wanted to hear 'cause they were desperate, just like now.

He got alot of mileage out of that one speech, but in the end one speech got him nowhere. Just like this guy.

People just do not like liberals.

I see it just the opposite. Some are desperate to make him out to be something he is not.

Sorry, but he's not.

And I would have never dreamt of mocking his name, but it is a fact that at least separate *democrat delegates* called Obama "Osama". Oh well.
