Well, the other night he said the day he won the nomination would be remembered as the day the earth began to heal, and the oceans began to recede. No kidding, he really said it.
The Dimocrat Party is grading on the curve, but Obama thinks his 50.1% grade in the primaries is an A, rather than a D-.
Correction:
PO**S!
See my tagline, and thanks for the idea.
Bizarre.
Never question the pronouncements of the Twelfth (or is it the Thirteenth) Imam. Iran is ready and waiting for his rising.
Wow. I hadn’t thought of that. You might have something there. And I’m as serious as I can be. I have been telling people that there is no Mutually Assured Destruction deterrent with the Islamofascists.
Are you guys trying to say Obama could be the ultimate suicide bomber terrorist?
Maybe it will take four years of a radical, racist, leftist America-hating, terrrorist-apeasing president for the country to wake the @#*% up.
He could be our next Carter...but who will be the next Reagan?
.
It’s a sign of stupid.
.
So now only the Republicans and Hillary supporters are racists, right?
Never mind that Obama and his wife literally HATE white America, they must teach the GOP a LESSON!
Especially the people with the glazed look in their eyes ... hypnotic ....wow ....
But as Obama once said in criticizing his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the caller acts as if America, as regards race, were “static.”

So, what does Obama’s candidacy mean? His victory shows that America grows ever closer to Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of a society that judges people based on content of character, rather than color of skin.
Obama’s victory does not prove this. It confirms it.

What a pretentious prick.
“I’m very proud of America giving me this opportunity,” Mr. Obama said.”
So how does this square with “God Damn America”? Or is this further proof that the black man can’t make it in America.
The political class in this country makes me sick.
Maybe its that New Direction that Nancy Pelosi keeps talking about...
;-)
“it’s the result of Affirmative Action, Obama.”
Nah, if it was affirmative action, Hillary would get one-half of the Presidency. It’s just that Obama is a whole lot more likeable than Hillary.
