No, because both of them went up the food chain of offices in their respective states. Obama didn't even do that. He literally came out of nowhere, got plunked down in the senate, spent a half-term there and is now a serious candidate for the Dem nomination. That's too much of a fairy tale for anyone with even a modicum of savvy to swallow.
Gives some credence, but I don't believe in that particular conspiracy theory. In the real world, all it takes is serious money. As Marathoner and knarf both indicated, Soros and/or some Muslim factions have the money and potentially the interest in putting their own puppet into the U.S. presidency.
well, the governorships of Ga and Ark were not exactly stellar accomplishments....maybe you think they were, tho.....Obama managed to become an attorney/black activist and got elected into first State govt, then the US Senate.......IMO that puts him on approximate par with carter and clinton..........and none of the 3 of them warranted the fuss that was made over them.......a decision has been taken by some very powerful folks to promote or at least allow the derailment hilliary (I have no clue who)
Lynn claimed that the press is not afraid of Hillary. That's a lie.
I spoke with the Obama communications office and challenged them to fight back. Hillary is behind every negative story, and it is going to continue.
RATFIGHT !!!
Obama was a IL state senator out of Hyde Park about ten years ago or so. I remember him challenging Defense Minister Rush for IL House-1st awhile back and getting a major butt-kicking. And then he split to regular (white) democrat vote to get the nomination for US Senator and Jeri 7of9 Ryan helped him slime his way into office. And, a few weeks ago, Joe Biden gave us the reason for Barack Hussein's popularity and rise to the top of the rat heap.
And what does he mean by "jigger"? It sounds like a slur to me.
Typical Chicago Democrat. (Of course, Patrick Fitzgerald looks for corruption in Illinois and only finds Republicans, but that's another story.)
Barack Obama never figured on being a Senator from Illinois and he never figured on being a "serious" presidential candidate. Ever since he discovered racism in his 20s, he figured that would be his shield. When people attacked him on Islam, that was cool, he was an opressed minority again.
But an empty suit has to be bulletproof and Obama is certainly not. Oh, well. That's what he gets for believing his own hype.
List of ethnic slurs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs#J
Jigaboo, jiggabo, jijjiboo, zigabo, jig, jigg, jiggy, jigga, jigger
(U.S. & UK) a black person (JB) with stereotypical black features (dark skin, wide nose, etc.).[73]
I was just being flippant. But this is a fruitful area of inquiry.
It reminds me of the people who get their undergarments in a knot over "gyp".
Obama had about $100,000 he wanted to invest in 2005.
$100,000 is not a lot of money? Of course it is, you idiot. This is the same graceless bastard who said, "I don't care how poor you are, you've got five dollars" to donate to his campaign.
He's this cycle's Rat golden boy, replacing the Silk Pony.
I know, and I realize this is pulled out of context. It's not what Obama meant ... but then, what did Ann Colter intend?
The Hillary minions have been busy little bees.
It's amazing that it only cost $400 to get them cleared!
I think he used 'jigger' as a verb, as an equivalent to FINAGLE

The out-of-context stuff is the best! And that particular "slur" is perfect for Obama because if he meant it, it could be quite devastating.
No, he meant to use it as a verb which is derived from the slur itself. He knew exactly what he was doing and he shows a disturbing lack of sensitivity. He should drop out of the presidential contest now and pay reparations to Jesse Jackson. ;)
Tagline. ;)

Surely we can get someone to feign outrage on this. Granted, the right doesn't do feigned outrage like the left, but we could manage something, right?
