November 10, 2004 -- BARACK OBAMA, new hotshot on the political scene, has been gifted with more than just Divine Grace. How's a hefty share of killer smarts?

< --snip-- >

The guy's moving. He gets noticed. Gets the star spot at the Democratic National Convention. Gets elected senator from Illinois. His book gets reissued. Now it's selling. Result? Before the election, this brand-new nova and his longtime agent execute an agreement to do more deals.

< --snip-- >

However, Barack Obama now realizes who he is. He now understands where he is. He never gets around to signing with the publisher. Too busy. He's doing interviews. Signing autographs. On TV. Campaigning. Climbing.

Meanwhile, what he was handling was a switch to the Clintons' book agent, attorney Robert Barnett. Washington's cocktail circuit is whispering that the intermediary was Vernon Jordan.

...which this new kid on the block, who sees himself as a future president after Hillary, wants to glom onto.

Hey Cindy, here's a napkin. Wipe your chin.

Wonder how Harold Ford Jr. feels now that he is no longer the darling of the media? I hate to see him shoved aside, as we know all of the dirt of Jr.

I would prefer Harold Ford Jr. He sure got passed over when they chose Nancy Witch Pelosi for house minority leader. I'm not even democrat and that one still pi$$e$ me off

Well ... sounds like the Dims need to isolate this Barack Obama guy in a safe and sterile enviroment.

Hell, if he gets sick, or badly hurt in a automobile accident, the entire Dimocrat Party will move to Europe.

Of course, I would too if Joe Biden was all I had to watch on TV.

... slobbering media ping ...

There is something fishy about Obama. Hellery no doubt has his file, but what do the rest of us know about him?

[IncPen]

what do the rest of us know about him?

Nothing. That's what makes him a media darling.

Then, when we find out that he has (insert scandal here) in his past, we can watch as he overcomes it on the Oprah! show.

Actually they are birds of a feather. Harold Ford is even more dangerous because, he has a great personality, and is good at portraying himself as a moderate. Here in Memphis he belongs to one of most politically corrupt families in the country.

YIKES, I didn't know that!
