Obama wearing a USMC T-shirt - clip on Fox News
Fox News | April 26, 2008 | Me

I just saw a clip on Fox News of Obama playing basketball, wearing a USMC T-shirt. Does anybody know the backstory on this?

That’s right up there with Kerry hunting in Ohio in the fall of ‘04.

It’s John Kerry with a hunting rifle.

Political multi-tasking- going for the basketball fan and the military vote.

Oh,wait. I'm thinking of the Ice Queen....

Maybe he borrowed it from Pastor Wright. He was a Marine.

A member of his campaign staff ran down to the local PX and bought the shirt so that he can wear it in front of reporters. That’s all.

“Political multi-tasking- going for...the military vote.”

Well, he already has the Hamas and Hezbollah vote wrapped up. He’s trying to expand his base.

Maybe he thought it meant the “US Muslim Community”

The former SgtMaj of the Marine Corps, SgtMaj Estrada is actively supporting him, so I am guessing it some type of homage to him.

Showed him playing basketball???? Isn’t that a sport that blacks excel in? Isn’t that a subtle racist attack??

Good one! I'm glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth. I was thinking someone gave that to him, kind of like the veteran giving him the US flag lapel pin to wear.

Obviously, Obama favors military recruiting.

Send the photo to Code Pink in Berkeley.

When Barry comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll give him a hearty cheer again, Hurrah! Hurrah!...
Oh, the men will cheer
The boys will shout
The ladies, they will all turn out
Oh we’ll all be there
When Barry jumps in front of the troops.

If the Playboy ban gets past congress, he just might have the Soldiers’ vote.
