Who are you talking about?
Obama. Some dude that's like the Democrat's messiah.
Barak Obama. Running for senate in Illinois (unopposed). He's the "great colored hope" of the dems this year. Very well spoken... articulate... and sadly just as liberal as anything else that spews forth out of the Daly Machine in Chicago.
Kindof an interesting life story. Mother is a white professor from Kansas, and father was a Kenyan student.
He's certainly somebody to watch. He's going to be a player in the Senate. I gotta wonder though if he isn't a closet republican just needing to be wrested from the clutches of the dem party cult. He's only a couple of days of deprogramming away from being a conservative.
His speech tonight started out as though it could have been given at the GOP convention. It lapsed, and I thought a little awkwardly, into the same old pre-programmed liberal cliches.
