Barak Obama "bin Shaprton,"

I don't know much about this guy. He was introduced to us during the Dem's convention as the best thing since flush toilet. The reporters could not stop praising him, and I did not find him to be any thing so special. I have to admit, I only listened to him once as a biased Republican, but perhaps he had some charm that I could not see. When Clinton gave a speech during the time he was governor of Arkansas, I also did not see any thing special about him, and he ended up being president twice. So perhaps, they can be right about the charm BS, but I just happened to be an insensitive Republican?

True, our biases can be dangerous to us in what you just said. I thought, Obama, just another Democrat who wants to pass the goodies out from the "Gravy Train" to the masses. In 1989, I was on a family trip to Texas where I stopped in Little Rock for the night. Well, I was channel surfing and I saw the then Governor Bill Clinton in a local newscast, I thought, "what a jagoff/idiot." If you can to my then and said that he would be President one day, I would have laughed you out of Little Rock. Yeah, I know we are biased and I'm glad for it, but even though Hillary is on the radar screen, the ones that are not are the most dangerous and we need to keep "checking our six."
