Let's be generous and chalk it up to the early-morning hour. Otherwise we'd have to come down hard on radio host Mike Gallagher, who as a guest on this morning's Fox & Friends Weekend went ga-ga for Barack Obama. It's one thing to acknowledge as did Mike that Obama has appeal as a candidate. But, interviewed by Keran Chetry, it was Gallagher's praise for Obama's substance that shocked, coming as it did from a putative conservative. Said Gallagher:
"He's got some pretty solid ideas. He's a moderate."
Moderate?? If Mike would check Obama's record, he'd find that in addition to having received a perfect 100% rating last year from the paleo-liberals at Americans for Democratic Action, a host of other ratings Barack has received screams "cookie-cutter left-wing Democrat":
* Planned Parenthood 100% in 2006.
* National Right to Life Committee 0% in 2005-2006.
* Americans for Tax Reform 0% in 2005.
* NAACP 100% in 2005.
* American Conservative Union 8 percent in 2005.
* Illinois Environmental Council 100% in 2003.
* Children's Defense Fund [Hillary's old beat] 100% in 2005.
* National Organization For Women 100% in 2005.
* NRA, 'F' in 2004.
* Federation for American Immigration Reform 0% in 2005.
* 2005 AFL-CIO 92%.
So just what are those ideas Mike finds "solid," and where is the proof of Obama's moderation? Come on Mike - have an extra cup of coffee and check the record to stave off recurrences of early morning bouts of Obamamania.

Obama is just runnung block for the hag.
LOL
Was Gallagher paid to act in an advertisement? Or is there something more going on between those two?

how in the world did you get your wires so tangled on this one?
"I saw him say that...what's he thinking?! The guy is a marxist...and that's never been a good idea in the past."
Obama or Gallagher?
Answer: Yes
Mike Gallagher is a sh*t for brains commentator who who can not discuss the small government advocacy position. Like O'Reilly and Hannity, he is for government regulation of his own pet causes as the only "solution. "
The guy's a bottom-tier hack who even makes unstable idiots like Savage look good in comparison.
May his meager ratings sink even lower and may he dissapear from the radio and tube.
"Well, the Democrats made a big deal about George FELIX Allen in an election not that long ago. Osama Obama is against fighting Revolutionary Islam, so the nickname is appropriate."
It's not a nickname - Barak Hussein Obama is his given name.
Can't wait for the mediot talking heads to have to choose sides between him and Hillary!
Barack Hussein Obama bump.
Mike Gallagher is mildly retarded.
It's called 'humor'. Google it...
The two look very much alike...
Looks like he melted and became a skeeter breeding pool.
Somewhat of an oxymoron wouldn't you say?
LMAO!
And, Obama is a "moderate".
Ouch!
I'll make no apologies....Gallagher is a moron who proves the Peter Principle.
Careful, Mike.
