This is a good read by a former Reagan staffer concerning the lack of any substance on the part of Barak, and some of the reasons why this matters.

After all that`s happend, I can`t believe a guy named Hussein Obama is seriously being considered a Pres candidate. Oh man, I need a good stiff drink of kitten.

Hmmm, no mention of Mr. Rezko that I could find. . . my temptation was to mention a Freeper name version, Baracketeer Obama. But I won't.. oops!
I am a fair man and here's proof, Hollywood idle Clark Gable had big ears too.

Yeah, here we go people only like him because he's slick Willy 2. It doesn't matter that he has no platform. But he talks slick and blows sweet nothings into your liberal/moderate ears.
Remind you of a particular under performing governor of a backwoods state?

I read the whole piece and this was Peggy lite. Ramblings of littleness surrounded by remember when with Ronnie.
Peggy sometimes needs less perfume and more honesty.
Yes , honesty,she knows the rosy wording of talk around is
not how you or I talk on the corner.We make our point.
Lastly, I trust her republicanism but,she like George Will begin to disappoint more than than satisfy. Odd.

Osama Obama doesn't have any experience what so ever, militarly or politically for running this country so what of earth are people excited about?

But, of course, that's why I hope that he runs (and wins the nomination) in 2008. As someone who, in their own small way, spend 2004 smearing Howard Dean and then John Kerry, nothing would be more enjoyable than spending 2008 dicing up the liberals' favorite pretty boy.
In particular, I find it very difficult to believe that the black son of a Moslem father never flirted with Islam. And, if there's evidence, we'll find it - and we'll use it.

For sure. And he has been seduced by all the media generated adulation.
Watch his crash and burn when they they throw him off the bus and under the tracks.

Oprah has decided that Barack Obama should be President.
Let Oprah say it; let it be done.

RE: "Dumbo"
About Senator Obama's and Clark Gable's ears.
A joke I remember from decades ago, probably in the 1950s:
Two men are walking along a major city street at night.
One exclaims, "Look! there goes a taxi with its doors open!"
The other guy says, " That's not a taxi, that's Clark Gable!"
One of the most famous lines by a screen writer was inspired by the actor's (Clark Gable) own words: "My ears? Frankly.. I don't give a damn."

RE: Is it possible that a "son of a Moslem father never flirted with Islam"
There's something that I find very strange.
I don't believe that Senator Obama is condemned as an apostate by radical Muslim nut cases, thus no fatwas, but..
Surely they should at least be extremely critical of someone who turned his back on Islam. As far as I know there's nary a word from the extremists. Why? I wonder.
A cursory search found one Islamic site that praises him and virtually claims him for Islam.

Reading Noonan is effortless, like that second glass of wine. As to the substance of her piece...would the phrase, "empty suit" be a mischaracterization of Barack Hussein Obama? I think not.

Oprah has decided that Barack Obama should be President. But, remember awhile back how the blogosphere Left decided that Oprah should be president? It doesn't take much to get their panties wet on the liberal left.

I'm not sure if Islam has a "baptism" or something similar, for that matter. I'd have to look it up.
