CBS’s Tough Look at Obama: Loves Scrabble, Doesn’t Like Ice Cream (!!!)
NewsBusters.org ^ | 6/18/2008 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 06/18/2008 1:07:13 PM PDT by Pyro7480

On Wednesday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Julie Chen teased an upcoming segment on Barack Obama: "...during the long primary season, we all learned a lot about Barack Obama. He is a Senator. He's a Harvard grad. He's a husband. And he is a father. But this morning, you're going to learn five things you probably don't know about Barack Obama." Later, in David Letterman style, correspondent Jeff Glor introduced the story: "...here are the top five things you likely don't know about Barack Obama."

Among those things, were important facts such as "Number four -- in addition to enjoying basketball and cycling during down time, Obama loves to play Scrabble." In addition to the top five, Glor later added: "Now one more thing we learned that didn't quite make our list, Julie. Obama's job as a teenager was at a Baskin Robbins and to this day he does not like ice cream." Chen responded: "So rocky road is like his Kyrptonite?" While Glor and Chen focused on Obama trivia, earlier in the show, co-host Russ Mitchell offered a mere one sentence news brief on the Illinois Senator’s opposition to a Republican plan to allow offshore oil drilling.

Obama loves to play Scrabble.

And his favorite word is M-A-R-X-I-S-T.

That’s 18 points, plus 50 for using all 7 letters. 68 points! (Not counting any double or triple bonuses, of course).

What she did not say (as expected by the MSM) is that he is an anti-American, a racist, an extremist miltary hater, a pander to our enemies, a radical socialist, and has a background of associations with underworld figures, America-haters, Muslims, education in a Madrassa, and a history that the MSM will not expose.

Was Hill actually fired?
What is wrong with mentioning a fist bump? It happened didn’t it? I must be missing part of the story.

Well, it’s not surprising that Mr. Obama likes to play word games...

He probably never got to taste ice cream. As it approached his mouth, the heat melted it. (As to the source of that heat, I’m too much of a gentleman to name it.)
