...He's able to disguise the moonbat character of the modern Democrat Party.

Yes, but will the moonbats tolerate being disguised? I think today's moonbat will put up with a triangulating strategy like oil puts up with water.

"Catholic vote is 26 % of the total vote, and is the largest Swing Vote in the country"

Which is exactly why, in 2007, when Pope Benedict comes to the US, (I really hate to use her name in the same sentence) Hildebeast will try and figure out how she can share center stage with the Pope

Obama wouldn’t announce which way he’d vote, but seemed lukewarm about the prospect.

If Obama values his career, he should stay far away from the filibuster.

The Pied Piper of Davos

John Kerry made news with his yodel,
From a room in his Switzerland hotel.
The Libs' wild-eyed Piper
Has made them too hyper.
Dems soon could be extinct like the Dodo.

I agree. He is a narcissist. But the decease I was actually thinking of was body dysphoric disorder which anorexia falls under also, I suppose..... The point I was trying to make was,they don't see themselves as they are, but as something exaggerated or different.........Anyway whats going to happen to old Lurch when Hillary or some other lib gets the nomination ? I'm. afraid he'll go nuts like captain Kwig in the ''Caine Mutiny''.LOL.........(off the topic )...You know who they say is really ''MEAN'' to their staff, interns etc? I think they said this on c-span the other morning. Sheila Jackson Lee! Uuuuhhh. I can't stand her but hear she treats people like they're dirt and is very demanding and abusive and makes people cry..........What is it with these libs? Doesn't being liberal mean compassion and kindness.?! ha What happened?

You know, you're right about that. The crazy old Democrat aunts in the attic don't want to be hidden. They want to be out in full moonlight, exposing their bizarre agenda, because they think the world agrees with them.

Freepers should always refer to Obama by his given Muslim name:

Barack HUSSEIN Obama



Barack Obama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Barack Obama
Office: Junior Senator, Illinois
Political party: Democratic
Term of office: January 2005–Present
Preceded by: Peter Fitzgerald
Succeeded by: Incumbent (2011)
Born: August 4, 1961
Honolulu, Hawaii
Died:
Spouse: Michelle Obama

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is a U.S. Senator from Illinois. He is the first African-American man from the Democratic Party ever to be elected to the United States Senate. He received international media coverage for his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, delivered while he was still an Illinois state senator.

Obama won the open Senate seat while on leave from the University of Chicago Law School. He is the only African-American currently serving in the U.S. Senate, the fifth in U.S. history and the third since Reconstruction. Obama won the election in a landslide, with 70% of the vote to Alan Keyes' 27%. He is junior senator to Richard Durbin, with whom he is reported to have an excellent professional and personal relationship.

Obama is married to Michelle Obama, a Chicago native. They have two daughters: Malia Ann (born 1999) and Natasha (born 2001).

Early life

Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard-educated economist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya, and S. Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Barack initially was given the religion of his father which was Islam but eventually decided to embrace the Christian faith.

Of his years in Hawaii, Obama has written, "The irony is that my decision to work in politics, and to pursue such a career in a big Mainland city, in some sense grows out of my Hawaiian upbringing, and the ideal that Hawaii still represents in my mind."

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father eventually returned to Kenya, and he saw his son only once more before his death in 1982. Ann Obama married another East-West Center student from Indonesia. In his early childhood while growing up with his mother, Barack used the name 'Barry'. The family then moved to Jakarta,
where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (Obama has other half-siblings from his father's other marriages). When Obama was ten he returned to Hawaii under the care of his grandparents, and later his mother, for the better educational opportunities. He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, where he graduated with honors in 1979.
