Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate (Archived 2004)

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

Thanks for the ping, Lucy.

Mrs, check this out!

I’m repeatedly accused of being an Obama worshipper, and in my defense I consistently point out that I voted for Bob Barr.

Explain how that mitigates your words on this thread.

[jcsjcm]

OMG - where were these articles when we needed them? Does Orly, Beck, Leo have this information?

Quote from article:

“Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth,” said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. “She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant.”

Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai’i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have “a kama’aina connection.”

Both were born outside the country — Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand — and graduated from high school in Honolulu — Punahou and McKinley, respectively.

End Quote!

I see how this goes:

Vendome(that would be me) never called you a liar.

An Obama worshiper? I have not idea and don’t believe I even inferred that either.

Couldn’t care less who you voted for.

But I will say this. Your photo, which you offered as proof of your manhood, was a stupid mistake.

I mean really, you are presumably a grown man, though your picture gives the impression of a High Schooler(yes, that is an insult and it going to worse but for including your screed of accusation which I was not a part of. But, hey, you chose to take on the #1 child of six, who lived with his competitors for 18 years. Hope you have a blanket and a pacifirer, because if your gonna get into this kind of trade, you baby, you are going to need it)

Now I don’t know you and you don’t know me. You start a relationship on the presumption that I am not a bad guy and you are not a good. We are just guys.

You forfeit a presumption of majority age, intellectuall and sentient ability to reason, when you come to a board of anonymity and have to prove you are man and a Bob Barr supporter.

Who cares? I mean really, is that your emotional reason for being who you are? “I voted for the other guy?”

You actually sound ineffectual and weak minded. Though I don’t believe you are. But, to offer your bonafide as “I voted for....” or “I did....”, you have some serious confidence issues, serious.

Your picture indicates you are at least out of high school. Get over yourself, you are a man. We are not your mom and you come here crying for a blanket of approval with warm milk and cookies.

You are what you are. Not what you did or intend to do. You are a man of a certain ideology and that will change a little as you move through life.

Your argument is weakened with your “look at me, look at me” crap.

Your argument is further weakened with your “I’m a lawyer baloney as well”.

You look young so maybe you don’t see this yet but, too many of us have seen so called educated people with their pedigrees and their plaintive cries for attention are always qualified by “I am ...., whatever”.

So you should listen to me. You then think you are going to co-opt others time and intellect with your “I am superior! You must know that, right?” baloney.

Look, there are many intelligent people who don’t have pedigrees and yours only gets you to the front of the line for an interview. It indicates nothing about your ability to continue learning and doing the two things that matter most as adults:

Produce results and solve problems.

But here you are talking to truck drivers, nurses, business owners, etc and we are “unwashed and uninformed”?

You have really got to read some books on self confidence and learn some manners about parity.

What is important is your idea and the strength of your argument.

You join the vetter and birther posts only to cast aspersion upon peoples intellect. What, pray tell, do you think our response is going to be?

Oh! Look it is Loren, he is better than us and we are not smart enough and least we forget, he will be happy to inform as much.

Make yourself useful and argue your points. I don’t care about your pedigree and have beat guys like you all the time, who think their pedigree made them smarter or better.

And yet here I am still giving classes to smart guys like about what is important, how to write proposals and simple letter writing.

Lastly, you need a serious humor implant. At least the other posters who presume to be so smart have a sense of humor.

You are not even fun. Just another lame egalitarian, self possessed child who finds himself in jeopardy of being just a down right selfish asshole who is 6th grade silly.

Take a joke, for Cris’ sake and send one back in good humor. It can be a very effective of not only breaking the ice, it is a powerful and subtle method of disarming the other person.

Sit down and think about your posts and your piss poor attitude.

See ya’ round.

PS
Don’t send anymore stupid pictures of yourself it only enhances your insecurity.

[Vendome]

I believe he is a man. At least that is what I heard.

[Beckwith]

Never met anyone whose finger was in charge before.

[little jeremiah]

All I said was something like (not going to bother seeing my exact words) - Maybe it’s not him, or who knows.

My other words, which I add now, are:

Who cares.

Your words speak for themselves.

Thanks for the explanation concerning the template.

Thanks for the pics, Billy Carter was always a little smarter than Jimmy. he he he

It appears legit to me, and I was sceptical at first.

This is a real find.
