Does anyone know what obama means in arabic?
I can't believe they put someone with a name so much like Osamam as keynote. Almost like slapping Americans in the face if they even think about being patriotic.
Obama got in his digs against President Bush, but that is the standard for this finely orchestrated Democrat John Kerry reinvention Convention.
His best line is when he described America as "this magical place" I have no problem debating issues with a democrat who puts America first, but these scumbags like Michael Moore, (whom Kerry chose to have him sit next to Jimmy Carter) make me despise the Democratic Party
it means "Blessing"
but these scumbags like Michael Moore, (whom Kerry chose to have him sit next to Jimmy Carter) make me despise the Democratic Party
** Yeah me too... Oh can't wait to hear Kerry. Should videotape that. It'll be good for when I can't sleep.
don't Mess with the Bless
He was born in Kenya, I believe Obama is an African name, at least that was what he said. I'm not sure if his father is a Muslim, but I think he is a Baptist. His wife was interviewed after he spoke and she seemed like a very nice and gracious person. I think the Dems have a good guy in their corner for a change

Mudboy Slim
Unfortunately, I am stuck in Springfield all week so I will have to give it a miss. Pity.
My guess is 70 times in his Coronation speech
Ronnie P. was a cold-hearted back-stabber of a man whose name he doesn't deserve to bear.
hehehe baaaaaand of brrrrrrrrrrothers... did you know I was in Vietnam? LOL
Howdy Mud, howdahellareya ?
Plus Tiger Woods isn't a self serving race baiting oily politician like Obama is anyway.
Was going to do another late-night/early morning piece, but better sleep on it.
Every time I see that "moonbat" I flash back to an old WC Fields quote from The Bank Dick.
"Don't be a luddy duddy. Don't be a moon calf. Don't be a jabbernowl. You're not those, are you?"
Kind of describes what I've been watching at the Reinvention all afternoon/evening.
IMO, Obama MIGHT have been featured so prominantly BECAUSE his name resembles Osama (or Usama) If ANYONE dares be offended at the similarity, the offended party os divisive, racist and intolorant...as opposed to the Dems, who sell themselves as ...well, tolorant.
You betcha I will read it. Bookmarked the site. :)
Yoooohoooooo .. check this out
This is from the link on post #3774
