"He has been blessed with good looks, good luck, polished speaking skills and prodigious fund-raising abilities."
So has every pretty boy in Hollywood, and I have no interest in them governing me. Democrats need to do some serious soul searching if they intend to be taken seriously and win national elections.
Man, she hits it right on.....
Hillary/Obama in '08
The media sure didn't love JC Watts or Condi Rice or Colin Powell, wrong party..... MSM makes me sick.
Check out Michael Steele Lt. Gov. of Maryland. I think he would make a GREAT candidate in 2008. Of course, the MSM won't like him, he is the WRONG party for them.... He was a keynote speaker at the RNC. He is awesome.
You know, I don't remember Fox going ga-ga over Tran, either. So much for 'fair and balanced', huh Michelle? Or maybe it's because he only won a state legislature race?
I think we need to face the fact that Obama is pretty much dripping with charisma and should be expected to be a major political star unless Hillary gets here claws into him or he somehow trips over his own pecker.
Of course if anyone can screw up his chances it's the DEM leadership.
Wow! Even in an article demolishing the myth, the mythbuster perpetuates the myth. Barracks Oboomer is "good looking"???!!!
A star is born, NOT!
I would like to see Michelle Malkin as AG. She has, among other qualifications, common sense that is lacking in far too many of our politicians
I'm not trying to sound stereotypical here, but his very name will be a hinderence to him if he ever vies for national office.
The dems already have the black vote sewed up all this guy will do if they ever run him for president is drive away the bigots in their party ( and there are a lot more than in the GOP ranks )
Bingo! Spot on article....
Another case of Democrats fawning over a newly-elected minority pol. Obama is just an empty vessel into which the Democrats can pour their hopes & dreams. Of course, they'll destroy him the first time he takes a stance they don't agree with (like they 'dinged' Harold Ford's career). But hey, why spoil the love-in?!
Does anyone know a good source for Obama's political views? My understanding is that he is very far left, but I've never seen a summation of his political beliefs. I've searched FR but typically find debate transcripts, which I do not consider the best way to get to know the candidate (any candidate).
Ms Malkin is a rising star in the conservative movement.
More on Barack including interesting Clinton Connections
Strange name for an autobiography, since the article said his father had abandoned his mother when he was 2.
He just seems WAY too slick for me.
J.C Watts was largely ignored by the MSM too. Donna Brazille badmouthed him in some heinous way during the 2000 election too.
Rats are the REAL hypocrites and bigots of politics these days.
They treated Condi Rice bad...they ran Justice Thomas through the ringer and now IMHO we're about to see the party of "diversity" treat Al Gonzales like a common criminal in his confirmation hearings. Mark my words.
Yet the way the MSM will report it will be that Chucky Schumer "heroically stood up to the White House's attempt to steamroll Gonzales' appointment through comittee"
