The MSM has better get on this pronto. Maybe a few more magazine covers, Oprah appearances, etc.

Good Lord, this rates a

Obama shouldn't have revealed that he is very sensitive about his ears, to the point of putting Modo "on notice".

What will the political cartooners do with this?
Will foreign leaders use this to their advantage? (damn right they will)

[Red Badger]

Perhaps he should audition for American Idol or Survivor...........

[ElectricStrawberry]

Osama Obama? (Takes another swig of Chivas)

[L98Fiero]

"He's written two best-selling books..."

Seriously, who is buying this? Also, it seems Joe Crabcake from Sheboigan could write a book on navel gazing at it would be a "best seller" on some list or other.

[Señor Zorro]

If this is true, it is the best thing the Democrats could hope for. In '08 he could run on his sob story again and, of course, on the fact that he's black and if people don't know what a red commie he is, why that'll just make it easier...

[SeafoodGumbo]

I read the other day (probably at FR) that Obama's grandparents were white, white, black, and Arab, making him only 25% black.

Is this right? Is he really pretending to be black when that's only 1/4 of his ancestry?

[beyond the sea]

Obama .......... can I be your VP, Red Marxist Queen of The Universe?

FWIW, a lot of American blacks have similar ancestry, except for the Arab part.

In the bad old days, 1/16 black ancestry made you black, unless you decided to "pass." At present, you are black if you have any black ancestry at all and you say you're black. Or if Ward Churchill can be an Indian just by saying so, then maybe you can be black just by saying so, as long as you spout the required leftist jargon.

Is it possible that being overly sensitive about his ears is like the ploy BJ Clinton used with the Monica case to draw attention away from the various murders and treason during his terms as governor and POTUSA?

[Wormwood]

Seriously, who is buying this?

I would imagine the half of the voting public that isn't Republican.

[L98Fiero]

I guess I just don't get the whole "cult of personality" thing. To me the most interesting thing about the man is the media driven hysteria behind him. It's almost creepy, like seeing Googles top searches.

[samtheman]

Another Worship Osama piece masquarading as news.

[Wormwood]

I guess I just don't get the whole "cult of personality" thing.

Neither do I, but in a battle between Charisma and Substance---bet on Charisma.

[johnny7]

Bet Andrew Herrmann's 'oral' is every bit as slobbering as his written.

[Scourge of God]

Seriously, who is buying this?

Look for a DNC warehouse in an undisclosed location. There, next to thousands of boxes of Clinton books, will be thousands of boxes of Osama Obama's books.

[madinmadtown]

His face has been everywhere...impossible to miss. And we want to encourage this one third of the population to vote???? When will the message get across that voting is a responsibility, not just a "right"?

[wideawake]

Sensiive about his ears?

What is he, a little girl?
