Mark Whitaker, head of the NBC News DC bureau, got off today's laugh line when he described Barack Obama as having "lifted himself up from the streets of Hawaii."

Oh those mean streets of Hawaii. You know, the sort pictured here at the Punahou school that Obama attended from 5-12th grade. While attending Punahou, Obama lived with his grandparents. His ill grandmother has been in the news lately. But how many readers are aware that grandma Dunham was . . . a vice-president of the Bank of Hawaii?

"lifted himself up".

That is so apt and appropriate, I don't even know where to start applauding...

There have been quite a few drunken sailors who “lifted themselves up from the streets of Hawaii.”

Glad you got a kick out of it, SE. The legend of The One grows!

Just wait until the documentaries start being produced about Barrack's life - there won't be enough Oscar and Emmy Awards left in Hollywood to reward the propoganda. Facts: Barrack lived a good life with his grand parents and attended a prestigious and expensive school. While at the school, Obama told classmates he was the royalty from Kenya. In fact Obama put his title 'King' in cement at the school and it is still there to this day. Delusions of grandeur at an early age.

If you are saying, Hmmm... how come this is the first I am hearing about this? Thank the liberal MSM for covering up all facets of Obama's life including any interviews with his drug pals.

He was born in a grass hut that he built with his own two hands.

In October 2006, Whitaker was appointed Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of New Ventures of Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive (WPNI), the digital division of the Washington Post Company. In April 2007, he launched Sprig.com, a Web site focused on environmentally-friendly living.

“In the magazine this week and in the editor’s note … I say how upset we are and I express sympathy for the Afghans who have died and been injured and for the U.S. soldiers who have been caught in the middle of all this.”

Lunches and snacks are not covered by tuition.

The poor ba$tard. Not sure if the pun was intended or not.

From the mean streets of Oahu, the tattered beaches of Waikiki, comes a Harvard Lawyer...

Not only did he build it, but hand-raised and harvested twelve score Chia Pets to produce the grass——all before he was born ;-)
