OBAMA IN '08? (Barf alert!)
Chicago Tribune ^ | May 28, 2006 | Jeff Zeleny

Posted on 05/28/2006 7:45:05 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

WASHINGTON -- The roster of aspiring presidential candidates seems to grow by the week here in the nation's capital, where the season of speculation and seduction is in full blossom.

Never mind that the urgent political matter for Republicans and Democrats is the fight for control of Congress, considering Election Day is less than six months away. These days, two questions rise above most others in the echo chamber: Who, exactly, is flirting with a bid for the White House and is Sen. Barack Obama among them?

It's a ritual that unfolds every four years, at this very time, when politicians openly dream, tease and ruminate about their presidential ambitions, knowing full well there is hardly a downside to such public conjecture. Among Democrats, the scurry is particularly intense.

But those who almost certainly are running--Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), for example--sidestep the question and insist they are focused on their own re-election campaigns. And those who most likely are not running seem content to simply bask in the renewed attention, such as former Vice President Al Gore, whose release of a documentary on global warming has spawned new gossip about his future.

Obama for VP candidate in 08. He is a lightweight. Ask him about tough things like the Jefferson investigation and watch him dance.

Probable posturing for the VP slot and/or '12 in the event of a Hilllay defeat.

"a Hillary defeat". I love the sound of that!

I'm still waiting for the story to come out about Obama's mama. Why does he keep hiding her?

You mean "PROJECTILE BARF ALERT"

I think this one is especially funny since half of the RAT leadership can't even pronounce the guys' name!

Obama is unbelievably boring and bland. He has no chance.

He is pushed from behind by a very ambitious wife.

Ah, but he has the race card on his side. I listened to his speech from the Dem convention in '04. He's a complete socialist. But you know the Dems (read Bill Clinton). If he looks the part, they'll vote for him.

Obama might have something going for him if he got a sex-change and adopted the first name of Rebecca.

What is the fascination with this guy? What has he ever done? The manufactured mystique that surrounds this guy almost reminds me of the Peter Sellers character in the movie, "Being There."

Say what you will about Clinton, as long as he economized his words, he could hold an audience. I remember seeing him in a little gymnasium in the very early days of the 92 DEM primaries, before he was talked about. He gave a speech that had everyone going, and I'm telling you, you could just tell he was going to be reckoned with. Obama is total melba toast. Boring, bland and dry. He has NO chance. Then again, they nominated Kerry.

Obama's voting record is the same as Durbin's. Their voting record is as extreme left as you get.

My reference to Clinton was about his choices for his Cabinet. He promised to have a Cabinet that looked like America. Never mind that most of his Cabinet had NO experience in their chosen areas of appointment.
