Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) of Illinois is among nearly a dozen candidates for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Some trivia:
_He attended the same high school as America Online founder Steve Case, who is three years his senior.
_While a student at Harvard Law School, he applied to appear in a black pride pinup calendar. He was rejected by an all-female committee.
_His middle name is Hussein, same as his father.
_He delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 while still only a candidate for Senate.
I have to reboot, something has possessed my laptop. :-}
I was watching him on FOX today. Hume was playing a segment where Obama was saying in a speech that the lives were wasted. Obama imitates Morgan Freeman in his speaking and hand movements. Good job of coaching there by someone.
Whodathunkit? Not even six years after 9-11, we have the possibility of a President OBAMA. Not to mention a congressman taking his oath on the Koran.
Check out his "church". Change all the words "black" to "white", publish it and see the reaction.

Empty suited slick talking phony from a broken home who has no experience and a Marxist orientation on life.
Just what America needs.
Here is some background on his voting record on the national level.

Can somebody tell me how to post a link you can simply click? I hate posting things that people have to copy and paste.
Never mind. I got it.
Thanks for posting that link.
I was kind of surprised to see AP floating this trivia piece as it did. Yours is much meatier.

and here is some background on his church.
I think we all should start including his middle name, Hussein, in all titles, not just Barack Obama. It needs to be Barack Hussein Obama. It will remind people of something he doesn't want people to think about. Why is that?? (sarcasm off)
Yesterday CNN was running a story that he *gasp* smokes!
Although I too enjoy poking fun at this empty suit, he is nothing more than a distraction from the real enemy - Hillary Rotten.
Latest I heard, he's trying to quit, too.
It would be one less reason to keep hillary from tossing an ashtray at him, she's a dead eye for accuracy with one, I hear.

Yeah, I agree, He's news filler... but he is fun to poke at.. that Soros sure has a sense of humor , huh?
Good...now tell ME how to do it. In theory I should be able to do it, but I always end up embarrassing myself on the open board. Only place I get it right is in the Sandbox and then I promptly get Oldtimers Disease and forget how.
I don't know who determined this first but if Obama became president America would be an Obama nation.
You got that right! Obama-nation it would be!
