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.

I must admit that I thought he was impressive. He reminds me of the days of Truman and JFK, the days when the democrats were not ruled by the anti-American far left.

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

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

Apropos of nothing in particular, I note that DU is having an actual public get-together for a "happy hour" in Boston. Tomorrow night at 6 pm. They will meet at Clery's, 113 Dartmouth St. "Look for the folks in DU T-shirts."

Unfortunately, I am stuck in Springfield all week so I will have to give it a miss. Pity.

I want to start a pool on how many times John Kerry will use the words "stronger" and "respected" on Thursday.

My guess is 70 times in his Coronation speech

What you missed will be spun like crazy. Suffice to say that Terezzzzza was all that we knew she would be. Weird, self-centered and basically incoherent.

Ronnie P. was a cold-hearted back-stabber of a man whose name he doesn't deserve to bear.

his wife is a fruitcake nutbar moonbat"

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.

According to Obama, it's Swahili for "one who is blessed by God" (Osama Arabic is "one who surrenders to God) Swahili and Arabic have got a tad intermixed over the years due to Arab imperialism, and the spellings can mess up the meanings.

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.

She saw a psychiatrist who prescribed Prozac, one pill a day. It eased the paralysis, she says, not the sadness. She began devoting much of her time, energy and money to issues that John Heinz held dear in the Senate. In a sense, Teresa says, keeping John Heinz's issues alive was a way to keep the senator alive.
