The "cover story" isn't on the web, but the link goes to a Freepable poll, and the photos tell the story of a gushing puff piece timed to leverage His trip to Africa.
This "poll" doesn't appear to be legitimate. There is no record of the number of votes. I find it hard to believe that 46% would vote for this idiot to be the POTUS.
He is not a Muslim. He is a Christian.
Probably true. The unfortunate near-collision of his last name with that of our nation's arch-nemesis is almost as damning as if he were named Emmanuel Goldstein.
> He is the definition of an empty suit, and one can wade through his credibility without getting one's ankles wet!
Therein lies his appeal to the Dems -- he doesn't have any baggage. Of course, we can see that he also doesn't have any clothes...
Interesting. Last week a television on A&E or one of those "educational" channels that profiled JFK and Obama. It appears that there is a movement underway in the MSM to paint Obama as Kennedyesque, but with morals.
Do you live in Illinois? I listen to 890, WLS out of Chicago & they are a conservative talk radio show 24/7. They believe he is being groomed for the White House, first black Pres.
I cannot believe this, where did this idiot come from? I have lived in Il. my whole life & never heard of him before he ran for office.
The thought sends chills down my spine! I don't know many people in Il. who like this phoney. He's right up there with the Hildabeast & Bubba!
"Do you live in Illinois? I listen to 890, WLS out of Chicago & they are a conservative talk radio show 24/7. They believe he is being groomed for the White House, first black Pres."
They are right. This is a media-sponsored creation of a legend. I live in Texas an even from here that much is obvious ... heck, they had a "BIOGRAPHY: Then and Now" and had him paired with ... JFK!!
"scuse me, he is a junior senator who got a cakewalk election due to Ill. GOP misfiring on all cylinders, and has done almost nothing of note his entire life except be a stock-in-trade liberal politician. Black man with a funny name and a muslim Dad. BFD.
VOTE IN THE POLL, OFTEN!
Therein lies his appeal to the Dems -- he doesn't have any baggage."
YUP. That explains a lot.
The Democrats have become the Seinfeld Democrats.
It's a Party about Nothing. Empty suits with no long records are perfect.
Hillary-Obama 2008. You heard it here first.
You live in Tejas and still aware of this puppet. Good for you. I've never seen such a dog and pony show in my life. This guy is so wet behind the ears his diapers are wet with green and yellow stuff.
"Hitlery is not a threat and she is very over rated by the MSM. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this witch."
I dont worry about the candidates.
OUR REAL ENEMY IS THE BAISED MEDIA THAT WILL PUMP HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF FREE RESUME-BUILDING PUFF PIECES ON EVEN THE SHALLOWEST OF CANDIDATES AND MAKE THEM INTO "STATEMEN" (OR WOMEN) FOR THE SHEEPLE.
Hillary *is* a threat. She has most media moguls in the palm of her hand now, including Murdoch.
But the liberal media will make any Dem in 2008 into Superman once they are the "annointed" one.
Beware: OBAMA HAS BEEN ANNOINTED.
"You live in Tejas and still aware of this puppet."
That's why this MSM manipulation is so obvious.
What frosh US Senator gets such media stardom treatment that he gets on the "Biography" channel!??
Only from Illinois will you get a Dick Durbin and Barack Osama. When will the MSM ever call his Africa trip a photo op?
We'll see - give it a few years.
I was in the Sun Times offices and expected to see a Jesus statue with Barack replacing the Jesus figure.
This is a little tough on me. I worked on a couple of things with him bipartisan stuff in the past. We couldn't agree on whether the sun rises in the east, but he is when it comes down to it a decent, nice man.
The Cubs going into the toilet might have more far reaching implications than we may think.
Andy MacPhail who is republican down to his bones was considering running for office. A nice Cubs team would be a good helper.
And having worked with Andy he would make a great senator. If anyone can work with Bud Selig and Donald Fehr and prevent a strike in 2002.
How about poor lil ol me.
Durbin Turban and Osamabama my senators, Governor Blowdryitvich my governor and Hillary Clinton grew up a block from me!
I do like one democrat. I don't agree with her on many things but Lisa Madigan has done a lot of good so far.
And I'm only voting for topinka because when I don't like either candidate I always vote for the republican.
Should I vote for Topinka, and I will be holding my nose if I even vote for that RINO what is the worse of two evils.
As an old friend used to say to me - "Everyone is nice, but what is this person really about". For goodness sakes, I watch news interviews on TV from neighbors of murderers who say "I would have never known they were a serial killer, they seemed so nice".
Lisa Madigan? You live in Illinois, you get what the democrats give you. Remember, this is the home of Jesse (Shakedown) Jackson. Blacks vote 15-20 times per person.
